Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1725: Chapter 1724: You’re Still the Best

Luo Haofeng’s tall figure suddenly froze.

His narrow eyes glinted with a trace of gloom.

Bo Yi’s lips pressed into a tight line.

He knew that Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t joking—she really didn’t dare to try, nor did she dare to believe that he could persuade his mom to agree to them being together.

In fact, even Luo Haofeng himself didn’t dare to believe it.

But he didn’t want to give up, didn’t want to just let Bai Xiaoxiao leave like that.

Bai Xiaoxiao changed her shoes, didn’t look at Luo Haofeng again, and pushed the door to leave his house.

“Xiaoxiao, let me take you back to the hotel.”

Bai Xiaoxiao walked along the asphalt road outside the villa towards the intersection ahead.

Behind her, Luo Haofeng drove up.

Lowering the car window, he revealed his handsome face, his brow clear and bright, his tone gentle.

He seemed to have completely calmed down, no longer disappointed by her words.

Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then opened the car door and got in.

Along the way, neither of them spoke.

Luo Haofeng focused on driving, and Bai Xiaoxiao, lost in thought, didn’t remember any of the buildings outside the car window.

When they arrived at the hotel, they happened to run into Xiao Yuting coming out of the hotel.

Seeing Luo Haofeng bringing Bai Xiaoxiao back, Xiao Yuting’s eyes narrowed, a smile appeared on his handsome face, “Xiaoxiao, why are you back so soon?”

“If I don’t come back, how can I work?”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression was calm, showing no emotion.

Xiao Yuting then looked at Luo Haofeng, who also showed no emotion on his face.

“Xiaoxiao, I’m heading back to the company.”

“President Luo, a word please.” Xiao Yuting laughed and pulled Luo Haofeng a few steps away.

Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at them, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the elevator.

***

On the fourth day of her business trip, Bai Xiaoxiao returned to G City with Xiao Yuting.

After passing the security check, Meng Ke was nowhere to be seen, so Bai Xiaoxiao took Xiao Yu’s car, and his family’s driver took her to Haochen to find Wen Ran.

When Mo Xiuchen saw Bai Xiaoxiao, he willingly offered his office for her and Wen Ran to chat privately.

“Xiaoxiao, how did you lose weight on a business trip? Was there no food for you to eat in City B?”

Wen Ran frowned as she scrutinized the thinner Bai Xiaoxiao.

It’s winter and with so many layers, she still looks this slim.

Originally, she thought she had a standard figure, but standing next to Xiaoxiao, she felt a bit chubby for no reason.

“Did I lose weight? I can’t feel it myself.”

“You have, definitely. If you don’t believe me, go weigh yourself, there’s a scale over there.”

Wen Ran pulled Bai Xiaoxiao over to weigh herself, indeed, two pounds less than the last time.

“Ranran, you have sharp eyes, noticing I’ve lost two pounds despite my size.”

Bai Xiaoxiao pouted, complaining discontentedly.

With a sly smile, Wen Ran said playfully, “Because you lost it in your chest.”

“Xiaoxiao, you rascal, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Bai Xiaoxiao shrieked, reaching out to tickle Wen Ran.

Wen Ran laughed, dodged Bai Xiaoxiao’s attacks, and ran to the front of the sofa, holding her hands defensively, “Xiaoxiao, pause, pause, I have something important to tell you.”

Bai Xiaoxiao glared at her fiercely, then feigned displeasure with a couple of humphs before sitting down beside her.

“What is it?”

She picked up a cup, elegantly sipped tea, holding it with two hands, and looked at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran restrained her smile and seriously asked, “Does Meng Ke know you’re back today?”

“Yes.”

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, wondering what the big deal was.

Wen Ran frowned, speaking gravely, “Xiaoxiao, pay attention, every word I say next is very important.”

Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh.

One look from Wen Ran made Bai Xiaoxiao surrender, “Okay, okay, I’m listening attentively, Mrs. Mo, take your time.”

“Since Meng Ke knows you’re back today, why didn’t he pick you up?”

“Ranran, how can you be so sure Meng Ke didn’t pick me up? He was the one who brought me here to see you.”

Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t maintain a serious tone, a smile crept onto her face.

Wen Ran scoffed, “If Meng Ke went to pick you up, you certainly wouldn’t come looking for me. Xiaoxiao, Meng Ke has been at the hospital caring for Xu Wanqi these few days.”

“What?”

Bai Xiaoxiao was taken aback.

She really didn’t know.

Meng Ke called her last night but didn’t mention he had been taking care of Xu Wanqi at the hospital.

“What’s ‘what’?”

Wen Ran glared at Bai Xiaoxiao, “During your business trip, Meng Ke stayed with Xu Wanqi, and before she leaves the hospital, Meng Ke probably won’t leave her alone.”

Bai Xiaoxiao blinked.

The smile on her face faded away.

This seems a bit serious. Seeing Ranran’s serious expression, she knew it.

“Ranran, is Xu Wanqi’s injury that severe?”

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Wen Ran with curiosity.

She believed that since Xu Wanqi was at Kangning Hospital, Ranran would know her condition.

Wen Ran chuckled, but the smile carried a hint of sarcasm, leaving Bai Xiaoxiao momentarily stunned.

“Xu Wanqi was indeed seriously injured that night, but what made it worse was the next morning when she deliberately injured herself by hitting her wound on the table edge with determined force.”

“…”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Goodness, is Xu Wanqi doing this just to keep Meng Ke?

That’s incredibly ruthless; she can even hurt her own arm like that.

Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao’s shocked face, Wen Ran sighed and softly said, “Xiaoxiao, regardless of whether Meng Ke has feelings for Xu Wanqi or not, it’s a fact that he has been taking care of her in the hospital for several days.”

“After work yesterday, I specifically went to the hospital and watched the ward’s surveillance footage from the past few days. If I’m not wrong, Xu Wanqi probably wants to take your boyfriend from you, and she’s determined to succeed.”

“…”

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t know what to say.

She doesn’t like competing for someone, and anything that can be taken away isn’t worth having.

“Xiaoxiao, Xu Wanqi won’t hesitate to harm herself; for you, she certainly won’t be kind. You need to be careful.”

“I understand, Ranran, you’re always the best to me.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s flattery was met with an eye roll from Wen Ran.

“I’m not being nice, so stop flattering me. Just tell me, do you want Meng Ke or not?”

“Ranran, Meng Ke is a person, not an object. It’s not about wanting or not wanting at will.”

Bai Xiaoxiao forced a wry smile.

“Then, during this trip to City B, did anything happen between you and Luo Haofeng?”

“No, I just celebrated a birthday for him.”

Mentioning Luo Haofeng, Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered as she avoided Wen Ran’s scrutiny.

Wen Ran raised an eyebrow knowingly and said with a smile, “I understand, Xiaoxiao. If you want to go to the hospital and see, I’ll go with you. If you don’t want to, let Meng Ke handle his own messy romance before coming to find you.”

Bai Xiaoxiao felt a warmth in her heart and said gratefully, “Xiaoxiao, I’m not flattering this time; you’re really good to me. I just went on a business trip, and you even scouted the situation for me. For this alone, I should go have a look at the hospital.”
