Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1443: 1442 written off

Lu Zhiyan noticed Fang Zhiwei’s emotions, his brows slightly furrowing.

Gu Kai finished speaking to Bai Yiyi, then turned to Fang Zhiwei and said in a calm and gentle tone, “Zhiwei, Grandma Li is in good health, you don’t need to worry.”

Bai Yiyi walked over, politely greeted Grandma Li, and then sat down beside Fang Zhiwei.

“Doctor Gu, I heard from Yiyi this morning that you have a lovely daughter. What’s her name again? I’m old, I forget right after being told.”

Grandma Li’s smile was kind, and she asked the question seemingly unintentionally, but the corner of her eye glanced at Fang Zhiwei, who was sitting beside her.

Gu Kai’s eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled. “My daughter with Yiyi is named Tongtong, a truly adorable little darling. If you like children, Grandma Li, we can bring Tongtong over another day, or Zhiwei can accompany you to our house. In a couple of days, there will be three more cute little ones coming back.”

“Three?”

Grandma Li seemed surprised, but her smile grew even brighter as she turned to ask Fang Zhiwei, “Zhiwei, have you also met the other three children Doctor Gu mentioned?”

“Grandma, the three children Ah Kai mentioned are Ranran’s treasures.” She paused slightly, then continued, “You probably don’t know who Ranran is, she’s Ah Kai’s sister. It’s just that one has the surname Wen, and the other Gu.”

“Now I understand.”

Grandma Li interrupted Fang Zhiwei with a smile, “Yiyi told me this morning. Zhiwei, Grandma knows much more than you think.”

As she said this, the smile on Grandma Li’s face faded. She glanced at Gu Kai who was packing things, and then at Bai Yiyi, before continuing, “Although there was a connection between you and Doctor Gu, it didn’t work out. Yet you can still be friends, which many couples can’t do after breaking up. This shows our Zhiwei is very successful as a person.”

“Grandma?”

Fang Zhiwei didn’t expect her grandma to say this in front of everyone.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to feel, and her expression carried a hint of embarrassment.

Grandma Li patted her hand lovingly, speaking in a gentle tone, “Zhiwei, Grandma isn’t bragging, you are truly excellent. It’s just that there was no fate with Doctor Gu. In the future, there will surely be a man who understands you better and cherishes you.”

As she finished, Grandma Li looked towards Gu Kai, “Doctor Gu, you can be with Yiyi without worry. I’ve heard your story; it’s not easy for you two to be together. You’ve already let down our Zhiwei, so don’t let Yiyi down too.”

Fang Zhiwei’s face turned slightly pale.

Her body was a bit rigid as well, but since her grandma said that, she couldn’t refute.

“Our Zhiwei is a well-educated and reasonable girl. She won’t cling to you, nor will she resent the girl you’re with. You don’t have to worry. Zhiwei, you need to personally tell them that for them to truly be at ease.”

Grandma Li’s voice softened, and there was a look of pity in her eyes as she gazed at Fang Zhiwei.

Fang Zhiwei had promised her grandma in the morning to try hard to forget Gu Kai, which is why she called Bai Yiyi to meet her.

Now, with her grandma asking her to speak her mind, a sharp pain began to rise inside her heart, as if it was pierced by an unknown sharp object.

The pain cast a pale hue over her face.

Looking at Gu Kai, her eyes held intense pain and reluctance. She closed her eyes and said stiffly, “Yiyi, I asked you out today just to tell you that the past grievances between us are wiped clean.”

Bai Yiyi’s eyes flickered with a complicated emotion, “Sister Wei, I’m very sorry.”

“You don’t need to say that to me. My attitude wasn’t great this morning. It was because your mom talked to me and I was in a bad mood… don’t take it to heart.”

Fang Zhiwei looked at Bai Yiyi openly, each word carrying her determination, albeit reluctantly.

Finishing her words, she shifted her gaze from Bai Yiyi to Gu Kai, pressing her lips tightly before asking, “Ah Kai, we’ll still remain friends, right?”

“Of course, I said before, we’re friends.”

Gu Kai’s handsome brows carried a gentle smile, his tone soothing. If Fang Zhiwei could let it go, he was willing to be friends with her.

After all, it was he who initially pursued her.

Gu Kai was not a heartless man; his tolerance of Fang Zhiwei for so long, always treating her as a friend, showed that. Fang Zhiwei understood and was conflicted within.

She wanted to use Gu Kai’s slight guilt to retain him, yet at the same time, feared being loathed by him in the end.

That morning, her grandma had pointed out her inner conflict bluntly, and she had wanted to escape then.

Now, hearing Gu Kai say this, the pain in Fang Zhiwei’s heart eased slightly. She let a faint smile emerge on her face, carrying a touch of sorrow, “Ah Kai, thank you.”

Leaving Fang Zhiwei’s house, Gu Kai asked Bai Yiyi to get into his car. He called the driver to help drive Bai Yiyi’s car away.

“Weren’t you supposed to go back to the hospital?”

Bai Yiyi frowned slightly as she looked at Gu Kai, reluctant as he pushed her into the car.

Gu Kai closed the car door and walked around to the driver’s seat, leaning over to buckle her seatbelt. As the car hit the road, he finally spoke, “I am going back to the hospital.”

“If you’re going back to the hospital, then I…”

“You’ll come back to the hospital with me too.” Gu Kai’s lips curved into a mischievous smile, adding charm to his already handsome features.

“Didn’t you say you’d take me home earlier?”

Bai Yiyi didn’t want to be tricked, and she wouldn’t have gotten into his car if he hadn’t said he would take her home.

“Yes, I’ll take you home after work. Aunt Bai is watching Tongtong, you don’t need to worry. The words Fang Zhiwei said earlier should be sincere.”

Gu Kai diverted the topic, and sure enough, Bai Yiyi’s attention was shifted. She pursed her lips and said softly, “Xiaocha told me that Grandma Li is a very sensible person. It appears she was right. With her around Fang Zhiwei, she should be able to truly let go.”

“It’s not just her, there’s also Lu Zhiyan.”

Gu Kai’s smile carried a trace of an inexplicable meaning.

Bai Yiyi was taken aback, staring at his profound smile, puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“Exactly what you’re thinking.”

Gu Kai raised an eyebrow, his smile captivating.

Bai Yiyi’s eyes widened in surprise, “You mean Lu Zhiyan has developed feelings for Fang Zhiwei? If you weren’t smiling so mysteriously, I wouldn’t have thought that way. But Lu Zhiyan and Fang Zhiwei haven’t known each other for long, right?”

She found it unbelievable.

“Love has nothing to do with time.” Gu Kai squinted slightly, his tone indifferent, “Zhiyan’s eyes when he looks at Fang Zhiwei are filled with a man’s compassion for a woman. Earlier, his gaze constantly lingered on Fang Zhiwei. Didn’t you notice? I did.”

“But isn’t Fang Zhiwei… in love with you?”

“That was before. In the future, it might not be Lu Zhiyan.” Gu Kai said indifferently.
