Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1722: Chapter 1721: Break Up with Him

“Senior, don’t you hate me?”

Xu Wanqi, with tears streaming down her face, stubbornly looked at Meng Ke. Since he hated her for ruining his relationship with Bai Xiaoxiao, why would he stop her from punishing herself?

Meng Ke’s expression was as still as water.

He was angry with the things Xu Wanqi had said and done.

But he was not foolish.

Xu Wanqi got hurt because of him. If she were to self-harm and cripple her arm, she would become his responsibility.

Seeing her pale face and the blood seeping from her arm, Meng Ke’s brows furrowed tightly.

The anger on his face had to ease a bit, “Wanqi, wait a moment, I’ll get a doctor to dress your wound.”

The way Xu Wanqi had hurt herself just now was without mercy.

Watching Meng Ke run out of the ward to call a doctor, a hint of triumphant smile flashed in Xu Wanqi’s tear-filled eyes.

She bit her teeth hard, enduring the intense pain in her arm: Bai Xiaoxiao, the senior is mine, don’t even think about taking him away.

She had loved him for so many years and would not allow Bai Xiaoxiao to snatch away her happiness.

Even if she loses this arm, as long as she can be with Meng Ke, she will have no regrets.

City B

Luo Haofeng was carrying Bai Xiaoxiao up the stairs when Bai Xiaoxiao stopped him.

“Haofeng, no.”

Bai Xiaoxiao avoided Luo Haofeng’s kiss, looking astounded at the stairwell they found themselves in.

She shook her head at Luo Haofeng, who was holding her.

Luo Haofeng pressed his lips together, lowered his head, placed a soft kiss on her forehead, carried her to the sofa, and gently put her down.

Once Bai Xiaoxiao regained her freedom, she immediately turned her face away, breathing in the fresh air not filled with his scent.

Luo Haofeng’s tall figure stood in front of the sofa, the heat of passion within him slightly calmed, his voice gentle, “Xiaoxiao, I’ll go make you breakfast.”

Having said that, he turned and walked briskly into the kitchen.

Bai Xiaoxiao leaned back into the sofa, her gaze turning towards the kitchen.

Through the glass window, she saw that long and rugged silhouette in the kitchen.

Thinking about the fierce kiss just now, her hands instinctively clenched into fists.

Almost, she and Luo Haofeng…

Her slender fingers gently touched her lips, which still carried traces of his presence.

Her heartbeat had not yet steadied.

It was still chaotic enough to make Bai Xiaoxiao unable to think clearly.

A crisp ringtone suddenly sounded.

In the silent living room, it was especially sharp and piercing.

Bai Xiaoxiao took out her phone, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw who was calling.

The call was from Meng Ke. She glanced unconsciously towards the stairs; if she hadn’t stopped Luo Haofeng just now, what would have happened at that moment…

She shook her head vigorously to dispel those chaotic images from her mind. After pressing her lips together and calming herself slightly, she pressed the answer button.

“Xiaoxiao, I just talked to Xu Wanqi. She admitted her mistake.”

On the phone, Meng Ke’s voice carried a hint of hesitation and unease, transmitted through the airwaves.

Bai Xiaoxiao replied indifferently, “Meng Ke, Xu Wanqi got hurt because of you, don’t scold her, and don’t blame her either.”

The reason Xu Wanqi behaved like that was simply because she loved Meng Ke.

Thinking back to what Wen Ran said on the phone this morning, Bai Xiaoxiao had to admit that her feelings were now clearer.

She wanted to let Xu Wanqi and Meng Ke end up together.

As Meng Ke’s girlfriend, her heart wasn’t with him, and the man she truly loved wasn’t Meng Ke.

Even when Meng Ke tried to get close or exhibit intimate behavior, Bai Xiaoxiao instinctively resisted. The last time he attempted to kiss her, she turned her face away, causing the kiss to miss.

But when Luo Haofeng kissed her, she lost all sanity and savored his kiss…

Realizing this, a sense of guilt rose up within Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart.

“Xiaoxiao, are you angry?”

Meng Ke, separated by miles, couldn’t see Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression. The calmer and more indifferent her tone, the more uneasy he felt inside.

Besides uneasiness, there was also a faint disappointment.

Bai Xiaoxiao was his girlfriend, and he expected her to be normal, to be jealous, to get angry because of other women.

But Bai Xiaoxiao seemed to have none of that.

When Xu Wanqi had gone to Xiao’s company to look for Bai Xiaoxiao, her tone on the phone was as calm as water.

If she felt any dissatisfaction, it was her disdain for dealing with these romantic entanglements for him.

And last night, Xu Wanqi said those things, yet she didn’t call to ask him whether they were true or false. When he called her this morning, she also spoke in that indifferent, calm tone.

With this in his mind, Meng Ke couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the phone.

His expression gathered a hint of gloom.

“I’m not angry, Meng Ke. Let’s talk about it when I return in a couple of days, okay?”

“Xiaoxiao, I actually hope you’d be angry.”

Meng Ke laughed self-deprecatingly; he felt pitiful.

He liked Bai Xiaoxiao so much, and yet she didn’t care about him at all.

“Xiaoxiao, if, and I say if, what Xu Wanqi said last night was true, you’d still not be angry, right?”

As soon as he asked, Meng Ke regretted it.

The other day he asked her not to get too close to Xiao Yuting, Bai Xiaoxiao got angry.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaoxiao was indeed angry when she heard Meng Ke’s words, “Meng Ke, if what Xu Wanqi said is true, I wouldn’t be angry, because being angry changes nothing.”

“Xiaoxiao, your phone was off last night. Can you tell me who you were with?”

Meng Ke suddenly shifted the subject and asked.

Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned for a second by his question.

“My phone ran out of battery last night. I left it charging in the hotel while I went to dinner with clients.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s words weren’t exactly a lie.

Luo Haofeng was indeed a client, albeit not directly her client.

But with her company and Xiao’s company having a contract, Luo Haofeng also had collaborations with Xiao’s company, and as a partner, she did need to understand Luo’s products.

***

In the kitchen, Luo Haofeng glanced back at Bai Xiaoxiao on the sofa in the living room.

He then turned back around and continued making breakfast.

Luo Haofeng’s pace was quick.

After Bai Xiaoxiao finished her call with Meng Ke and went to the kitchen, he had already fried the eggs.

The porridge was set to boil when he got up in the morning.

He also stir-fried a green vegetable.

With breakfast served, Luo Haofeng placed an egg in Bai Xiaoxiao’s bowl, seemingly casually, and asked, “Xiaoxiao, what did Meng Ke say on the phone?”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes subtly changed. After that intense kiss, she felt a bit uneasy facing Luo Haofeng.

“He asked Xu Wanqi and she admitted to lying.”

“Xiaoxiao, is there something between Meng Ke and that Xu Wanqi?”

Luo Haofeng’s brow furrowed, his tone deepening slightly.

“No, it’s just that Xu Wanqi likes Meng Ke.” Bai Xiaoxiao forced a smile. Talking to Luo Haofeng about Meng Ke felt strange to her.

Luo Haofeng looked at her for two seconds, pursed his thin lips, and reached his large hand across the table to grasp Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand.

Bai Xiaoxiao was startled and was about to pull back when she heard Luo Haofeng’s voice, “Break up with Meng Ke!”
