Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1727: Chapter 1726: Life Is Too Boring

Bai Xiaoxiao caught sight of Xu Wanqi biting her lip on the hospital bed from the corner of her eye and smiled, “Ranran, wait here for me.”

Xu Wanqi kept staring at the backs of Meng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao.

She still had no intention of looking away even after the door of the ward closed.

Wen Ran noticed her expression, smiled slightly, pulled a chair over, and sat down a few steps away from the bed.

“Miss Wen, I’d like to be alone for a while.”

Xu Wanqi finally looked away and frowned when she saw Wen Ran sit down without invitation, speaking coldly.

Being in someone else’s territory and still telling them to leave.

Only Xu Wanqi could do something like that.

Wen Ran was neither surprised nor angry; instead, she found it amusing and laughed out loud.

“What are you laughing at, Miss Wen?”

Seeing Wen Ran laughing, Xu Wanqi’s expression changed several times.

Wen Ran blinked, speaking nonchalantly, “Isn’t Miss Xu’s injury good enough to be discharged? Rather than staying in the hospital with Meng Ke taking care of you, why not go home and have Meng Ke take care of you there? That way, you get more opportunities.”

“Miss Wen, being so kind?”

Xu Wanqi was no fool; how could she not hear the sarcasm in Wen Ran’s words?

However, that wasn’t what she was focused on.

Instead, it was odd for Wen Ran, being Bai Xiaoxiao’s friend, to offer her advice to help her.

“Haha, life is too boring, and watching a show can be a bit fun. Xu Wanqi, you said your arm wasn’t that badly injured, so why did you go and ruin it yourself?”

Wen Ran asked, looking at Xu Wanqi with genuine curiosity.

As if she really wanted to know why she did that.

Xu Wanqi’s face alternated between pale and flushed. If Wen Ran were an ordinary person, she certainly wouldn’t be polite to her.

But Wen Ran wasn’t just anyone; Xu Wanqi understood better than anyone that she couldn’t provoke Wen Ran.

“That’s my own business.”

Xu Wanqi gritted her teeth resentfully.

“Then does Miss Xu know who those people that injured you that night were?”

Wen Ran watched Xu Wanqi leisurely.

Previously, without Xiaoxiao around, she didn’t want to deal with Xu Wanqi.

But now, with Xiaoxiao in the hospital with her, she naturally had to help Xiaoxiao.

Xu Wanqi’s eyes flickered, avoiding Wen Ran’s gaze, and she said coldly, “I don’t know. Those people ran away after injuring me. I don’t usually offend anyone, so I don’t know which malicious person found those thugs.”

Wen Ran squinted her eyes slightly, just about to speak when the ward door was pushed open.

Tongtong’s delighted and clear voice came from the doorway, “Auntie!”

Wen Ran turned around, and seeing Tongtong running in, a smile immediately blossomed on her face. She opened her arms and hugged Tongtong, who jumped into her lap.

“Tongtong, why are you at the hospital?”

“I came to the hospital with Grandpa. Daddy said you were here, so I asked him to bring me to find you.”

Tongtong looked up, her pretty little face filled with bright eyes blinking as she spoke.

Wen Ran glanced at Gu Kai, who came in behind her, and patted Tongtong’s cute little braids. “So, you missed Auntie?”

“Yeah, I really missed Auntie.”

Tongtong, with her sweet mouth, had a knack for making people smile.

Wen Ran was so amused by her little demeanor that she giggled, “Really, what did you use to miss Auntie?”

“I used my head and my heart.”

On the hospital bed, Xu Wanqi’s cough interrupted Tongtong, causing her to look up at Xu Wanqi, “Auntie, are you here to visit this lady?”

“Yes, Tongtong is very smart.”

Wen Ran placed Tongtong on her lap.

Tongtong wrapped her hands around Wen Ran’s neck, smiling as she said, “I saw Uncle Meng the other day, and he’s the one taking care of this lady. The lady’s arm was injured by bad people.”

Xu Wanqi’s expression changed imperceptibly when she heard Tongtong’s words.

She wasn’t afraid to bring up that issue; she just didn’t want to mention it in front of Wen Ran and the others.

That night, Xu Wanfei had already implied that Meng Ke should believe the people who hurt her might have been related to Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen.

As long as Meng Ke believed it, it was enough.

She didn’t need Wen Ran and her people to be concerned.

Wen Ran glanced at Xu Wanqi on the hospital bed.

“Tongtong is indeed smart. I just asked this lady if she knew the identities of those bad people.”

“Auntie, isn’t Uncle Lu a policeman? He can definitely find out who those bad people are.”

After Tongtong finished speaking, Xu Wanqi on the hospital bed hastily interjected, “No need to trouble; after all, my injury isn’t very serious.”

“Our Tongtong is indeed clever.”

Wen Ran didn’t hold back her praise, while Gu Kai also smiled and said, “Tongtong is growing up quickly.”

“…”

Xu Wanqi was completely ignored.

Neither Gu Kai nor Wen Ran looked at her. “Brother, why don’t you call Brother Lu? Even though some days have passed, it should still be possible to investigate.”

“No problem.”

Gu Kai took out his phone, “Once we find those who harmed Miss Xu, they can serve Miss Xu as her servants, saving Meng Ke from staying here all the time, making Xiaoxiao jealous.”

“…”

On the hospital bed, Xu Wanqi opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.

Gu Kai dialed Lu Zhiyan’s number and said to Wen Ran, “Ranran, I’m going to make a call outside. Can you call Mo Xiuchen and let him know I’ll treat you to lunch?”

“Aren’t you going home?”

Wen Ran lifted Tongtong off her lap, stood up, and held her little hand.

“I’ll go home after lunch.”

Gu Kai chuckled, turned, and walked out of the ward.

Wen Ran also left the ward with Tongtong.

Leaving Xu Wanqi alone in the ward.

Not far away on a bench in the rest area, only Bai Xiaoxiao and Meng Ke were sitting.

He explained in detail what happened that night, why Xu Wanqi hurt herself with her injured arm, and why he had been staying at the hospital to take care of Xu Wanqi.

After hearing his explanation, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t speak.

Meng Ke was anxious and hesitantly reached out to hold Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand, only for her to avoid it.

“Xiaoxiao, if you don’t want me to take care of Xu Wanqi, I won’t.”

Meng Ke looked at Bai Xiaoxiao nervously.

Bai Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, looking into his uneasy gaze, sighed softly, and said calmly, “Meng Ke, she got hurt twice because of you, and twice you promised. There’s no need to not keep it even once because of me.”

“Xiaoxiao, the reason I agreed to Xu Wanqi was hoping that from now on, I won’t have anything to do with her.”

Meng Ke said firmly.

But Bai Xiaoxiao felt that it might not be the case.

She couldn’t help but frown, thinking about how Meng Ke had just taken care of Xu Wanqi.

He had spent so many years in close association with Xu Wanqi, who had treated him so well. A woman hurt twice for him, would he really have no feelings at all?

“Xiaoxiao…”

Meng Ke called again when Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t respond.

Bai Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and slowly said, “Meng Ke, Xu Wanqi loves you very much.”
