Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1523: 1522 A Chance Encounter

An Lin reluctantly opened her eyes.

Seeing Qin Mu still holding the brown sugar water, she blinked in surprise. Was he really going to feed her?

Suddenly being so gentle and considerate, she really wasn’t used to it.

“Just put it on the table, I’ll drink it myself.”

Qin Mu placed the cup on the table, leaned over, propped up the pillow behind her so she could lean against the headboard, watching as she drank the large cup of brown sugar water until only a little was left.

“I can’t drink anymore.”

He reached out to take the cup and stood up, heading towards the door.

“Wait a minute.”

As Qin Mu reached the door, An Lin’s voice sounded from behind, and he turned his head to look.

An Lin smiled, saying, “You’re sleeping in the guest room tonight.”

Qin Mu was silent for a moment, then turned and walked out of the bedroom.

“Don’t feel sorry for him.”

An Lin frowned, feeling distressed by her own discomfort. Surely it was Qin Mu who hurt feelings; compared to how he hurt her, hers was merely a fraction.

Why, seeing Qin Mu silent and speechless just now, did she feel heartache?

An Lin rolled her eyes at herself in disbelief.

She slipped out of bed to lock the door, then returned to crawl back into bed to sleep.

Once again she told herself, no matter how Qin Mu changes, unless he truly falls for her.

If it’s just about a man’s body, she’d rather not have it.

In the morning, when An Lin got up, Qin Mu was in the kitchen making breakfast.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and gave her a gentle smile standing at the kitchen door, “Good morning.”

“Good morning.”

An Lin forced a smile, unable to resist the temptation of the food, walked into the kitchen. This man still had his strengths, namely a good hand at cooking.

She had dreamt for years of eating his breakfast every day.

“Hungry, right? Breakfast will be ready soon.”

Qin Mu knowingly smiled at her.

An Lin was a little dazzled by his smile; she tried not to look at him, helping to carry breakfast out to the dining table.

A few minutes later, they both sat at the table eating breakfast.

Qin Mu casually informed, “After breakfast, I’m off to the company. You should rest well at home, don’t drink cold, and don’t buy spicy food. If I’m not back by noon, you just order takeout.”

“I’m going to the company too.”

“No need, I can handle those things. You should rest at home.”

Qin Mu made an overbearing decision.

An Lin frowned, “I was responsible for the case before; you’re not familiar with them.”

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows indifferently, “What does it matter if I’m familiar or not? That guy surnamed Fan is no good; you’d better avoid him.”

Before, that guy with the surname Fan looked at An Lin with lustful eyes.

Back then, although Qin Mu and An Lin weren’t married, as friends, naturally he couldn’t stand it.

An Lin blinked and looked at Qin Mu with some amusement, “You won’t let me go just so I won’t see that guy Fan, right?”

“That’s only one reason; you need to rest well these days.”

Qin Mu’s tone was calm, but the care in his words was unmistakeable.

An Lin shrugged indifferently, “Alright, if you can handle it, then I won’t go.”

Though the situation was a bit troublesome.

She trusted Qin Mu’s capability.

***

Close to noon, An Lin received a call from Qin Mu, saying he wouldn’t be back for lunch, “If you don’t want to go out to eat, I’ll order takeout for you.”

An Lin quickly refused, “No need, no need, I’ll go out by myself. I’ve been at home all morning; I need some sun or I’ll get moldy.”

Qin Mu chuckled twice over the phone, “Alright, call me if there’s anything.”

The spring sunlight was warm on the body but not scorching.

An Lin dressed in casual clothes, sneakers, walked to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

After eating, when she was paying, suddenly above her came a voice calling ‘An Lin’, with three parts surprise, two parts delight of a chance encounter.

An Lin paused her action of taking out money, raised her head, looking towards the source of the voice.

“What a coincidence, I just thought I was mistaken. You’re not in A City, how come you’re here in City C?”

The man, about thirty-three or thirty-four, had decent features and a gentle demeanor, easily making people feel trusted.

An Lin was also surprised to meet him here.

This man almost became her husband.

She always felt guilty towards him; seeing his smiling face made her eyes flash with a trace of embarrassment, then she smiled and asked, “Are you here on a business trip to City C?”

Yang Junze smiled and responded, “Yes, I arrived in City C yesterday.”

His voice paused slightly, then he put on a concerned look, “I heard you were kidnapped that night; did Yao Dewei hurt you?”

A City was so big, yet so small.

Yang Junze not only knew Yao Dewei but strictly speaking, he had some familial relations with Yao Dewei.

An Lin originally went on a blind date with Yang Junze, and it was her cousin Feng Wanfeng who tied the line.

When mentioning Yao Dewei’s name, Yang Junze’s voice carried a hint of apology.

An Lin shook her head with a smile, “It was an accident.”

“Do you have time now? Shall we go somewhere else for coffee?”

Yang Junze glanced at the dishes on the table and took out a wallet to pay for her.

An Lin stopped him, and Yang Junze responded with a smile, “Later, you can treat me to coffee.”

“Okay!”

An Lin gave up, letting him pay.

Leaving the restaurant, An Lin told him, “I walked here, the café up ahead is nice, let’s go there.”

At the café, each ordered a cup of coffee, after chatting a bit, Yang Junze asked An Lin, “Is Chief Qin’s injury better?”

An Lin calmly stirred her coffee, “Much better.”

“Is Qin Mu treating you well?”

After a moment’s silence, Yang Junze asked hesitantly.

This topic brought a trace of awkwardness to the atmosphere.

An Lin smiled and nodded, “He treats me very well.”

As if to validate her words, her phone rang.

Seeing the incoming call display, a smile appeared on An Lin’s lips, “I’ll take this call first.”

“An Lin, have you had lunch yet?”

The call was from Qin Mu.

An Lin relaxed into the sofa, her brows and eyes reflecting a touch of laziness, “Just finished eating; how about you?”

It was entirely because Yang Junze was there that she showed some concern.

On the other end, Qin Mu, hearing her concerned question, answered with an extra hint of joy in his voice, “I just finished eating too; are you still outside now?”

“Yeah, the weather is so nice today, I should soak up a little more sun.”

An Lin turned to look outside; the sun was bright, flowers on either side of the street blooming, truly spring had arrived.

“Just now Tang Yang called saying that the Yao’s father and son duo have fled abroad. If you want to enjoy the sun outside, go ahead, just don’t tire yourself out and stay cautious.”

An Lin nodded with a smile, “Got it, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

Yang Junze watched the gentle smile in An Lin’s eyes during her phone call and felt a bit of bitterness.

The woman in front of him was wonderful, but alas, he had no fate with her.

“Was that call from him just now?”

Seeing she had ended the call, Yang Junze asked enviously.
