Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2098: Chapter 2097: Interrogation

“I wasn’t making it up, it was that guy with the last name Shi who said it, saying that you and Auntie Ou are going to get married soon.”

Zhang Minghui defended himself.

Wen Jin stared at him through his glasses for a moment, then asked calmly, “Did you call Ziyi last night and tell him what Shi Tian said to you yesterday?”

Zhang Minghui’s expression changed, “Uncle Wen, did Ziyi betray me?”

“If he betrayed you, would I need to ask you like this? It seems that Ziyi called me last night to deceive me, and it indeed has something to do with you.”

“….”

Zhang Minghui tightly shut his mouth, as if by not admitting it, it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Wen Jin’s expression darkened slightly, and his voice took on a hint of authority, “Ziyi was punished by her mom to do horse stance for an hour this morning and didn’t even get breakfast. Do you want me to tell your aunt so she can punish you the same way?”

“Uncle Wen, I was wrong, please don’t tell my aunt, okay?”

The last time, Jing Xiaocha had already warned Zhang Minghui, and if his aunt found out about last night’s incident again, she would definitely be angry.

“If you don’t want me to tell your aunt, you mustn’t hide a single word. Why would Ziyi call me? What exactly did you say to him?”

Zhang Minghui pursed his lips and spoke stiffly, “Last night, that guy with the last name Shi said he wants to pursue my aunt’s girlfriend. I told him that my aunt wouldn’t agree to it because my aunt likes Uncle Wen.”

Wen Jin’s eyes flickered slightly.

His thin lips pressed lightly, and he did not respond.

Zhang Minghui’s voice echoed in the car, “That guy with the last name Shi also said that Auntie Ou went to Uncle Wen’s house last night and they would have a romantic evening, and then you would get married soon. I don’t like Uncle Wen being with Auntie Ou. Uncle Wen, can’t you be with my aunt? She really, really likes you.”

“You’re just a kid, you don’t understand.”

Wen Jin said heavily.

Yi Han went to his house last night, and Shi Tian actually knew about it.

Could it be that Shi Tian asked Xiaocha out last night as arranged by Yi Han?

Because of that rumor yesterday morning.

But he had already told Yi Han last time not to let Shi Tian bother Xiaocha because Xiaocha didn’t like Shi Tian.

“I may not understand, but I do know that my aunt likes Uncle Wen. Last night’s incident was my fault; I shouldn’t have let Ziyi call and disturb your date with Auntie Ou. But I don’t like that guy with the last name Shi. My aunt only reluctantly goes on dates with him because he’s Auntie Ou’s friend.”

“Little Hui.”

Wen Jin sighed softly, calling Zhang Minghui’s name, but said nothing more.

He thought of how Ou Yihan was at his house last night, preparing a supper for him. He remembered her careful dressing and how she hugged him from behind in the kitchen.

If it weren’t for Ziyi’s call, Wen Jin wouldn’t know what might have happened next.

Subconsciously, he couldn’t forget the kiss from Jing Xiaocha the night before, yet he couldn’t be sure what it meant.

Would it feel the same even if it wasn’t Jing Xiaocha, but instead Ou Yihan who kissed him?

All along, he had considered Jing Xiaocha as a sister and couldn’t suddenly have romantic feelings for her.

Because in some ways, Jing Xiaocha resembled Ranran, and Wen Jin harbored unspeakable feelings for Ranran.

Thus, when facing Jing Xiaocha, he would remind himself that Xiaocha was just like Ranran—like a sister.

Yet now, Wen Jin was inexplicably angry about how Ou Yihan arranged things.

Even if Xiaocha liked him, Ou Yihan shouldn’t have arbitrarily decided that Xiaocha should date Shi Tian.

After dropping off Zhang Minghui at school, Wen Jin called Wen Ran.

Upon returning to Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory, he dialed Ou Yihan’s number. The phone rang several times before it was answered, though it wasn’t Ou Yihan’s voice he heard.

The person on the other end told him that Ou Yihan had just entered the operating room.

Wen Jin sat in his office chair, staring at his phone in contemplation.

If it was Ou Yihan who arranged the date between Jing Xiaocha and Shi Tian, she must have talked it over with Jing Xiaocha beforehand.

Thinking about what Jing Xiaocha said on the phone last night, Wen Jin’s well-defined eyebrows knitted tightly together.

Ou Yihan’s surgery lasted until midday and still wasn’t finished.

It wasn’t until after 3 p.m. that Wen Jin received her call.

Ou Yihan’s voice carried a gentle weariness, “Ah Jin, I heard you called me this morning. My surgery just finished now, I’m sorry.”

“It took a long time, you must be exhausted.”

Wen Jin came out from behind his desk, walking with his long legs to a large window, peering down through a gap in the curtain at the factory entrance.

Over the phone, Ou Yihan’s voice came through softly, with a hint of playful coquettishness, “Yes, I’m so tired. My hands feel weak now. Luckily, I can rest tomorrow. By the way, are you working late tonight?”

“Yes, working late.”

“Good, then focus on your work. Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday, and it’s going to take up your day again.”

Ou Yihan was looking forward to tomorrow. Last night, she had already hinted to her mom to urge Wen Jin to settle their marriage soon.

Her mom promised her she’d mention it to Wen Jin at her father’s birthday banquet.

Thinking about this, Ou Yihan’s fatigue from the surgery quickly faded, her eyes revealing a tender smile, “Ah Jin, in a couple of days, I have to go on a business trip for some time, and probably won’t be back until just before the Spring Festival.”

Spring Festival wasn’t far off anyway.

After this business trip, she’d probably only make it back just in time for the festival.

“Yi Han, last night Shi Tian asked…” As soon as Wen Jin started to speak, a broadcast announcement interrupted over the phone, calling for Ou Yihan.

Not hearing what Wen Jin was going to say, Ou Yihan quickly told him, “Ah Jin, I have to go now. I’ll call you back tonight.”

“Alright.”

Hesitating for two seconds, Wen Jin realized Ou Yihan had already hung up.

Jing Xiaocha received a call from Ou Yihan just as she finished typing out four thousand words and got up to stretch.

“Hello, Sister Ou.”

“Xiaocha, did you tell Ah Jin about going on a date with Shi Tian last night?”

As soon as Jing Xiaocha answered, Ou Yihan’s voice came through, skipping formalities and getting straight to the point.

You could tell Ou Yihan was a bit upset, not bothering to hide her emotions.

Jing Xiaocha’s eyes flickered subtly, apologetically saying, “Sister Ou, I didn’t mean to tell Brother Wen.”

“Xiaocha, if you really don’t want to try dating Shi Tian, you can just refuse me outright. But agreeing on one hand and telling Ah Jin on the other puts me in a difficult position.”

“….”

“I’ve always regarded you as a sister and hope to consider you one for life. If you truly see me as a sister, be honest with me. Do you like Ah Jin?”
