Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 710: 709 You really have a big life.

Wen Ran lived a leisurely life every day.

She never needed an alarm to wake her up and always woke up naturally.

After breakfast, she watered the flowers in the garden and enjoyed their scent. By the time she was done, it was noon.

In recent days, Gu Kai and Gu Yan made time to keep her company during lunch and dinner.

They never left her to eat alone.

Bai Xiaoxiao and Li Qian sometimes came over for a visit, and they too would join them for meals at the Gu’s.

Overall, ever since Wen Ran moved into the Gu household, the once cold atmosphere had turned lively.

In the blink of an eye, over twenty days had passed.

On this particular day, Gu Kai didn’t have any surgeries in the morning so he simply stayed at home.

Wen Ran woke up near ten o’clock.

When she came downstairs, she was surprised to see Gu Kai sitting on the living room sofa arranging flowers. “Brother, why didn’t you go to the hospital?” she asked.

She walked over and Gu Kai looked up.

Smiling, he pulled her to sit beside him and then raised an eyebrow mischievously.

With cheerful delight, he asked, “I don’t have any surgery this morning, so I’m taking a lazy day at home. What do you think of my flower arrangement?”

Wen Ran laughed lightly, “Brother, aren’t your hands meant for holding scalpels? When did you start learning such an elegant art?”

“Humph, I am capable of anything. It is just arranging flowers. How could this possibly be a challenge to me? You obviously don’t know that I personally planted those flowers in our garden…”

Once Gu Kai started to brag about himself, he was unstoppable.

His laid-back appearance greatly contrasted his stern and elegant demeanor when he wore his white gown at the hospital.

However, this side of him, which was full of arrogance and obstgency, was even more charming.

“Brother, I want to visit Fu Jingyi this afternoon,” Wen Ran offhandedly mentioned after Gu Kai finished praising himself.

The look of pride on Gu Kai’s face instantly faded and he looked at her with puzzlement, “Ranran, why would you go see Fu Jingyi?”

“In the past, he saved my life. I’m going to thank him,” she said jokingly. Gu Kai frowned and turned her around.

Looking into her eyes earnestly, he advised, “Ranran, Fu Jingyi is psychologically twisted, and he’s irredeemably sick. There’s no point in looking for him, you won’t hear what you want to.”

Two months ago, after Liao Dongxing and Qin Sen were arrested, Fu Jingyi was taken away by the police as well.

However, Gu Yan found a lawyer for him, bailed him out, and traveled with him to D Country to perform surgery on Mo Xiuchen.

After the surgery, Fu Jingyi showed no intention of leaving. He willingly surrendered to the police.

However, before he surrendered, he informed Gu Yan that his newly developed virus would soon appear in Kangning Hospital, marking the last showdown between them.

The virus he had initially planted in Wen Ran was later transferred to Mo Xiuchen.

Even without his intervention, the virus could be cleared, but time was of the essence.

They had made a drug for it which had skipped several stages of clinical trials.

Not wanting to risk Mo Xiuchen’s life, Gu Yan had no choice but to trust Fu Jingyi’s words.

After the surgery, Fu Jingyi revealed that he had lied; he had participated in the surgery to erase Mo Xiuchen’s memory.

At that time, Gu Yan was angry at him for deleting all of Mo Xiuchen’s memories – the difference between deleting some and all was substantial.

Especially when Fu Jingyi revealed that the bomb strapped to Wen Ran was a fake that he had swapped out and that even though she and Qin Mu had jumped off the cliff, they might not necessarily have died. Gu Yan was so enraged that he threw a punch at his face.

The two began to fight in the hospital.

After the fight, Fu Jingyi told Gu Yan that he was tired of living in hatred and seeking revenge all these years, and he would turn himself in…

“Brother, because Fu Jingyi is so twisted, I want to see him. Dad may not say it out loud, but he’s been really worried these past few days.”

Wen Ran’s voice is gentle and calm, her eyes clear as water. She is such that Gu Kai cannot refuse.

“Alright, I’ll accompany you this afternoon.”

Gu Kai sighed.

He casually brushed a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.

This simple action inadvertently saddened Wen Ran.

Mo Xiuchen often did this for her in the past.

She gave a wry smile, “Bro, you’ve been slacking off all morning, I can’t risk making you slack off more. I’ll go see Fu Jingyi myself. After all, I lived with him for six years. He once said, if I weren’t my parents’ daughter, he would actually quite like me.”

That day in A City, Fu Jingyi and Wen Ran spoke a lot.

It was then that she learnt the extent of the enmity between her parents and Fu Jingyi.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She and Xiuchen had paid for their previous generation’s disputes.

Now, having discovered the truth, the hate that Fu Jingyi harboured for decades turned into a joke in an instance.

He no longer had a reason to oppose Gu Yan.

Wen Ran didn’t want her father to worry over Fu Jingyi’s potentially threatening words.

She needed to know for sure if Fu Jingyi was genuinely planning to harm her father, or if it was all bluster.

The cases involving Liao Dongxing, Qin Sen and others were extensive, and still awaiting a public trial.

Fu Jingyi had given all the confessions that he needed to give. He was unrepentant for the crimes of his past years.

That afternoon, Wen Ran went to see Fu Jingyi alone.

In the small, confined room, Fu Jingyi looked weary; the usually sullen man was now listless.

Sat opposite each other, Fu Jingyi looked at Wen Ran and slowly chuckled, “Miss, you really have a charmed life. You jumped off such a high cliff and didn’t die.”

Wen Ran also had a hint of a smile, but her eyes held self-mockery, “Yes, I’m blessed and fortunate. I survived six full years being drugged by you, and later attempted assassinations. Surely a fall off a cliff wouldn’t take my life.”

“Ha! As the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. The pity is, Miss, you will taste the agony I’ve endured over these decades for the rest of your life.”

Fu Jingyi laughed with great pleasure.

With a demeanor of petty mischief, he did not show any remorse or guilt for breaking up a loving couple.

Wen Ran silently watched Fu Jingyi’s triumphant laughter, and finally, she laughed until she cried.

She suddenly felt, Fu Jingyi was pitiful and pathetic.

Her face calm and gentle, absent was the grief and agitation he expected to see, absent was the anger, simply tranquil.

She said without a care, “Fu Jingyi, even if Xiuchen can’t remember me all his life, I will not regret it.”

Fu Jingyi’s smile slowly froze as he stared at her, “You’re just starting out, you don’t know the pain yet, it’s a thousand, a hundred times more painful than being gutted and stripped of your bones. Miss, someday, you will regret it.”

Wen Ran’s lips curled up in a slight smile, her gentle voice echoed in the small, dim room, lingering for a long time: “It won’t happen, as long as Xiuchen is alive, as long as I know he is living well, that’s enough.”

To love, to be with each other, perhaps is the greatest joy in the world.

But in front of life, Wen Ran felt, love had to make concessions.

She and Xiuchen both wanted good lives for each other.

Even if they were to become strangers, he would always hold a position in her heart that was more important than herself.

Fu Jingyi looked at Wen Ran, as if trying to see through to her real thoughts.

However, he stared at her for a long while, but couldn’t detect any trace of regret or sadness in her.

He scoffed at himself, and asked, “What brought you here today?”

Wen Ran blinked and casually replied, “I wanted to know if what you said to my dad last time is true or false.”

Upon hearing, Fu Jingyi’s face darkened instantly, and his eyes become somber, “It’s definitely true.”
