Chapter 1193: If he knew
“Gu Kai, rest assured, I definitely won’t have that kind of misunderstanding.” Bai Yiyi took a deep breath, resisting the urge to curse him, and said word by word, hard and cold: “I just don’t want to argue with you in front of Tongtong, so where you are, it’s best that I’m not there.”
“Don’t make it sound so nice. I’ve heard that Zhang Siming went to your pharmaceutical factory today. Could it be you’re involved with Mr. Zhang, and that’s why you didn’t want to have dinner with me and Tongtong?”
Gu Kai, getting his information from who knows where, had Bai Yiyi surprisedly widening her eyes, “How did you know Zhang Siming came to our factory?”
She turned to look at Wen Jin, who spread her hands, a face of innocence.
Gu Kai laughed triumphantly on the phone, “Bai Yiyi, never mind how I knew. Anyway, I know Zhang Siming went to your factory today, and he swapped shifts with a colleague to do so. You’re really something, just one meeting, and you’ve hooked Zhang Siming’s heart.”
“Yes, he did come to our factory, but I didn’t do what you said, get involved with him.” Bai Yiyi defended herself, furious.
“If not, then tonight, bring Tongtong to my house. The flu is going around lately; it’s actually worse for Tongtong to go out. After work, I will come to pick you up.”
Having said that, Gu Kai didn’t wait for Bai Yiyi to agree and aggressively hung up the phone.
“Sigh…”
Bai Yiyi looked at the disconnected call log, anger surfacing on her face, biting her lip tightly to control herself from bursting out in curses.
After Bai Yiyi finished the call, Wen Jin said with a smile: “Yiyi, it’s a good thing you didn’t agree to Zhang Siming’s invitation this morning, or else Ah Kai would surely make trouble.”
“What trouble could he cause for Zhang Siming?”
Bai Yiyi asked, puzzled.
Wen Jin chuckled and indifferently said: “Zhang Siming seems to be a man from the Drug Regulatory Authority, but Kangning Hospital holds a significant position in G City, and Ah Kai is the Crown Prince of Kangning Hospital. They’ve even started that clinical trial which is receiving a lot of attention… If he wants to make life difficult for Zhang Siming, it’s just a matter of a few words.”
Zhang Siming had just been transferred to G City and to put it rudely, he hadn’t even settled in G City yet.
Bai Yiyi remembered how, at the coffee shop the other day, Zhang Siming had addressed Gu Kai as Young Master Gu.
She pursed her lips and said softly: “In that case, I really shouldn’t be involved with Zhang Siming; I can’t drag him into this.”
“Mhm, since Ah Kai doesn’t like you getting close to Zhang Siming, you’d better stay away from him. After all, it’s related to Tongtong’s matters, and Ah Kai is very serious about it.”

“Gu Kai, are you getting off work?”
At 5:30 in the afternoon, as Gu Kai walked out of his office, he ran into Fang Zhiwei coming his way.
He glanced at her dispassionately, “Is there something else?”
Fang Zhiwei had come to the hospital this afternoon to visit her classmate’s father.
“Ah Kai, I just want to ask, can Uncle Chen’s condition really be controlled?”
Fang Zhiwei pursed her lips, asking uneasily.
Gu Kai lowered his gaze and said lightly: “Zhiwei, you’ve studied medicine; you should know that for this kind of case, there haven’t been many successful instances. However, the patient’s condition is genuinely well-controlled at the moment…”
“Ah Kai, saying that, I feel relieved.”
Hearing Gu Kai’s words, Fang Zhiwei showed a relieved smile.
Gu Kai tugged at the corner of his mouth, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going off work.”
“Ah Kai.”
Gu Kai had just taken two steps when Fang Zhiwei called out to him again.
He turned around, asking with his eyes if she had anything further.
Fang Zhiwei pursed her lips, ignoring the quickening of her heartbeat. A brilliant smile surfaced on her face as she cheerfully said, “Ah Kai, a friend of mine gave me two tickets for a concert. If you don’t have to work overtime tonight, let’s go together. Consider it a repayment for the dinner you treated me to that night.”
Fearing that Gu Kai would refuse, she quickly added another line.
“I’m going to see Tongtong tonight. I haven’t had time these past few days and haven’t seen Tongtong for quite a while.”
Gu Kai’s words blanketed Fang Zhiwei’s smiling face with disappointment. But in an instant, she regained her smile, “I’ll go see Tongtong with you. I haven’t seen her for a few days either, and I really miss her.”
“Aren’t you going to the concert?”
Gu Kai raised an eyebrow.
Fang Zhiwei pouted and then smiled again, “No, it’s so boring to go to the concert alone. I’d rather go play with Tongtong. I really like that cute little girl. I’m so envious of Yiyi, having a cute daughter like Tongtong.”
“The concert tickets were a gift from your friend. You shouldn’t let down their kindness. Go to the concert; you can meet Tongtong anytime.”
Gu Kai’s tone was gentle and calm, not revealing whether he was willing or unwilling to have Fang Zhiwei join him to meet Tongtong.
Fang Zhiwei’s gaze dimmed, hurt by Gu Kai’s words, “Ah Kai, do you not want me to go see Tongtong with you?”
“No.”
“That’s good then. I won’t go to the concert; I’ll go with you to pick up Tongtong.”
***
Because Gu Kai called at noon, saying he would come to pick up Bai Yiyi in the afternoon.
Worried that he would go mad if she left, she decided to wait for him in the office.
“Yiyi, are you not leaving yet?”
Wen Jin pushed the door open and leaned against the door frame, dangling car keys in his hand, his eyes smiling at her.
Bai Yiyi lifted her head from the documents and looked toward Wen Jin at the door, “Gu Kai said at noon he would come to pick me up. I’ll wait for him so he doesn’t make a wasted trip and cause trouble.”
Wen Jin chuckled, “Ah Kai is only his true self when he’s with you.”
“True self? You must be joking. He’s vicious, and it has nothing to do with being real,” Bai Yiyi said with disdain.
Gu Kai was amiable and gentle to everyone, especially women. Only in front of her would he become so acerbic. If he didn’t ridicule her a few times, she’d think something was wrong with him.
“If Ah Kai knew you talked about him like this, he’d go crazy again. Alright, you wait here for him. I’m leaving.”
“Bye!”
Bai Yiyi waved at him and then lowered her head back to her work.
She had already called her mother, saying she would bring Tongtong to the Gu Family’s house for dinner tonight, and asked her mother not to make dinner for her.
Knowing that Gu Kai was also off work at 5:30 and considering his seriousness and responsibility for his work, she didn’t expect him to leave work early.
Therefore, waiting patiently for more than ten minutes, she started to organize her files at 5:45 p.m., preparing to go downstairs and wait for him at the factory gate.
Bai Yiyi stepped out of the factory gate and saw Gu Kai’s ostentatious Maybach approaching from a distance.
Moments later, the Maybach stopped in front of her, and as the car window lowered, in addition to Gu Kai’s handsome face, Fang Zhiwei was also sitting in the passenger seat.
“Yiyi, get in.”
Fang Zhiwei’s lighthearted voice came from inside the car. Bai Yiyi was at first startled, then revealed a brilliant smile, “Sister Wei, you’re here too.”
Gu Kai’s eyes narrowed, he turned to glance at Fang Zhiwei, then turned back to scrutinize Bai Yiyi with his gaze, silently questioning her, “When did you get so familiar with Fang Zhiwei?”
