Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1520: 1519 That’s him being stupid

“No, I didn’t make it up.”

This security guard is an honest guy, a few years older than Jing Xiaocha, but clearly not as sharp as her.

When she said that, his face turned slightly red with embarrassment, his nervous hands scratching his head, but his face was full of smiles,

“The beauty you saw just now, I heard, is a returnee, a genuine rich and beautiful girl… I haven’t seen our President Wen treat any beauty as warmly as he treats her…”

“You’re praising her to the skies. Don’t tell me you like her yourself?”

Jing Xiaocha found it increasingly absurd and directly interrupted the security guard, a sly gleam passing through her eyes as she looked at him with a grin.

“No, no, no, how could a toad like me think of eating swan meat?” Realizing he had said something wrong, the security guard suddenly stopped talking and explained, “I’m not saying I’m a toad, just…”

“Pfft—”

Jing Xiaocha was amused by his clumsy demeanor, she handed him the afternoon tea she was holding, “Hold this for me first.”

The security guard hurriedly took it, carefully holding it in his hand.

Jing Xiaocha lowered her head, took out two books from her bag, “I borrowed these for you. Take good care of them, don’t get them dirty or torn. Can you finish them in a week?”

“I can.”

The security guard’s honest face instantly blossomed with a joyful smile, wanting to take the books with both hands, but then realized he was holding a bag, and his smile turned awkward again.

“I’ll put them here for you; you go upstairs and deliver the afternoon tea to President Wen and that beautiful client.”

Jing Xiaocha raised her eyebrows and smiled, putting the books on the table in front of her, and signaled with her eyes for the security guard to quickly go upstairs.

“Alright, alright, I’ll go right away.”

After saying this, the security guard dashed off with the afternoon tea.

Jing Xiaocha watched him run towards the office building, then stood up, left the security room, greeted another security guard, and left the pharmaceutical company.

On the second floor, in front of the sofa in the general manager’s office, sat Wen Jin and the beautiful client Jing Xiaocha had seen, and Bai Yiyi.

There was a knock on the door from outside.

Wen Jin said ‘come in’, and the security guard pushed the door open and came in with a grin, “President Wen, this is the afternoon tea that Xiaocha asked me to bring up for you and Miss Tong.”

After saying this, the security guard put the bag on the coffee table.

“Xiaocha came? Why didn’t she come up?”

Bai Yiyi looked at the security guard in surprise, instinctively turning to look at the door.

The security guard smiled, “Xiaocha probably has to go back to school, so she asked me to bring it up.”

This guy was too honest to lie, so his explanation was a bit stammering.

Wen Jin glanced at the bag on the coffee table and said to the security guard, “Go down and tell her to come up.”

“Okay, President Wen.”

After the security guard left the office, Bai Yiyi took the afternoon tea out of the bag and placed it on the coffee table.

After arranging a few snacks, she looked up at Wen Jin and said, seemingly inadvertently, “Xiaocha is really thoughtful, she bought snacks that you like.”

Wen Jin smiled faintly and invited the beautiful client to taste them.

The next morning, after Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu finished visiting Qin Zhongnan and had just left the ward, they received a call saying there was a problem in City C.

It was related to the case An Lin was in charge of when she was still at work.

As soon as he finished the call, An Lin proactively proposed to go to City C.

Mo Xiuchen didn’t immediately agree to An Lin’s proposal. Instead, he looked at Qin Mu next to him, “Ah Mu, what do you think?”

As soon as he spoke, An Lin gave him a cold look.

Why did he have to ask Qin Mu about her matters?

“I know City C better than any of you, it would be easier for me to solve this. Mo Xiuchen, sending someone else wouldn’t be as effective as me going.”

“An Lin, if you go to City C, what about mom?”

Qin Mu did not oppose her directly, but his words clearly indicated he didn’t want her to go.

If it were the old An Lin, she might have listened to his opinion.

But now, An Lin clearly wouldn’t listen.

“My mom can come with me; it would be like a vacation, and she can cook for me there. That way, I won’t have to eat takeout.”

An Lin not only didn’t make it difficult for her mom, she was actually pleased to have someone cook for her.

No choice, after all, she’s a disaster in the kitchen.

“I’ll book the plane ticket now.” An Lin glanced at Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu, and then took out her phone to make a call, “You stay here and take good care of dad.”

Qin Mu pursed his lips with displeasure, his expression slightly stern.

Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes lingered on An Lin and Qin Mu for half a second each, then he smiled and said, “An Lin is right, no one knows City C better than her.”

Qin Mu remained silent, his expression still cold.

“I’m going to find Ranran and Ah Kai first.”

Mo Xiuchen decided not to get involved in their affairs, found an excuse, and quickly left.

An Lin, having booked her plane ticket, noticed Mo Xiuchen had already reached the elevator, she turned to Qin Mu, ignoring his displeasure, and said calmly, “I’m going to inform dad and mom, then I’ll go pack for City C.”

“Wait a minute.”

Qin Mu’s expression changed slightly as he grabbed An Lin.

Just as An Lin was about to turn around, he pulled her back, so she had to turn toward him again.

Facing his deep gaze, her tone was calm, “What is it?”

Qin Mu walked her a few steps forward before speaking, “An Lin, it’s not that I oppose you going to City C, but because Yao Xinmin and Yao Dewei are still at large. You going to City C alone makes me uneasy.”

“What’s there to be uneasy about? They must have fled abroad by now. The police are already pursuing them, how could they possibly come back knowingly risking their lives?”

An Lin said dismissively. Seeing Qin Mu wanted to say more, she stopped him: “Ah Mu, I can’t just do nothing because they’re not caught. I don’t have a deep-seated grudge against them; they won’t do anything to me.”

“That night, didn’t he still kidnap you?”

Qin Mu frowned intensely.

An Lin suddenly laughed, her smile carrying a hint of sarcasm, “That was because he was too stupid. It turned out that kidnapping me was a mistake. You just stay and take care of dad here; besides, you need to be careful yourself. The Yao family father and son hold a grudge against you and dad.”

“…”

An Lin pulled her hand out of his grasp and turned to head towards the ward.

Qin Mu watched An Lin’s back, and a surge of indescribable emotions welled up within him, causing him a slight frustration.

It was as if he wasn’t used to someone who treated him well suddenly distancing themselves…

Inside the ward

Father Qin had just closed his eyes to rest, while Mother Qin sat beside him, gazing at him with gentle eyes.

Upon hearing the door open, she turned her head and saw An Lin coming in, motioning for her to be quiet.

An Lin understood and smiled as she approached the bed, bending down to speak softly to Mother Qin, “Mom, I need to go to City C for a few days; I’ve already booked the ticket and will be leaving soon.”

“An Lin, why are you going to City C?”

Mother Qin’s surprised eyes also showed some disapproval.

An Lin softly explained, “Mom, there’s a problem over at the company in City C. I’m going there to handle it. Ah Mu will stay here.”
