Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1729: Chapter 1728: This Isn’t Mine

Half an hour later.

Everyone arrived at an elegantly decorated restaurant.

Upon entering the private room, Mo Xiuchen personally helped Wen Ran take off her coat and hung it on the nearby coat rack.

"Xiaoxiao, let me help you."

Seeing Mo Xiuchen being so attentive and caring toward Wen Ran, Meng Ke wanted to imitate him, but Bai Xiaoxiao refused him.

"Ranran, you said earlier you had something to tell me, what is it?"

Mo Xiuchen poured a cup of hot water for Wen Ran, and after she used it to warm her hands, he gently asked.

When Wen Ran gave birth to Momo and Ziyi, during her confinement, she didn’t recover well because Momo was kidnapped by Cheng Jia.

Her health wasn’t very good.

Recently, Wen Ran has been taking medication to recuperate.

Upon hearing Mo Xiuchen’s words, Wen Ran looked up at Meng Ke, who was seated next to Bai Xiaoxiao.

Calmly, she said, "Xiuchen, actually I’m not very clear on this matter, Meng Ke seems to know more."

"Huh?"

Meng Ke, suddenly being mentioned, looked at Wen Ran somewhat puzzled.

Wen Ran smiled faintly, "Just after you and Xiaoxiao left the hospital room, I chatted with Xu Wanqi for a bit. Out of concern, I asked her who hurt her that night."

She intentionally paused here.

Sure enough, she saw a slight change in Meng Ke’s expression.

"And then?"

Mo Xiuchen’s sharp eyes swept over the slightly changed expression of Meng Ke, tenderly gazing at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran pouted, "Then, there was nothing more."

Sitting across from them, the corner of Gu Kai’s mouth twitched.

Bai Xiaoxiao added, "Didn’t you say earlier that Xu Wanqi and Xu Wanfei suspect that it was Xiuchen who sent someone to take revenge on her?"

Wen Ran didn’t want to involve Bai Xiaoxiao.

Therefore, she didn’t mention that it was Bai Xiaoxiao who said it.

But Xu Wanqi only wanted Meng Ke to believe that Xiuchen did it.

She wouldn’t say anything too excessive in front of Wen Ran.

Wen Ran only intended to start the topic, hoping Meng Ke would continue, but she was a bit surprised when Bai Xiaoxiao took over her words.

Meng Ke intended to feign ignorance of Wen Ran’s words.

But Bai Xiaoxiao’s straightforwardness left him momentarily embarrassed and at a loss for words.

Speaking in front of Mo Xiuchen, mentioning Xu Wanqi’s suspicions of him...

"Oh?"

Mo Xiuchen’s tone slightly rose, his handsome eyebrows slightly arching.

Meng Ke explained with a wry smile, "Mo General, don’t misunderstand, Wanqi didn’t mean it that way. She just felt guilty ever since nearly scalding Mrs. Mo that day..."

"Boss Meng, Xu Wanqi isn’t just an employee at your travel agency; I hear she’s your junior. You’re bound to know her better than us."

Mo Xiuchen held Wen Ran’s hand, gently stroking the back of her hand with the other, his words casual.

Meng Ke’s face changed as he heard this.

"However, since Xu Wanqi suspects me and has mentioned it to Boss Meng, to prove my innocence, this matter should be thoroughly investigated."

"Xiuchen, my brother already called Brother Lu earlier."

Wen Ran smiled reassuringly, not wanting these messy issues to anger Xiuchen.

"That’s good, seems like Ranran understands me after all."

The gloom on Mo Xiuchen’s face dissipated instantly, his brows relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

Bai Xiaoxiao, seeing Meng Ke’s awkward expression, thought for a moment and gently said, "Thoroughly investigating is a good idea. No matter who the person is, hurting Xu Wanqi is a fact, and they should face legal consequences."

"Hmm."

Meng Ke smiled gently, Bai Xiaoxiao’s comforting words were more effective than anything else.

After eating, Meng Ke insisted on driving Bai Xiaoxiao back to the company.

Gu Kai took Tongtong home, while Wen Ran went back to the company with Mo Xiuchen.

"Xiaoxiao, was it you who told Wen Ran that Wanqi suspected Mo Xiuchen?"

As they drove on the road, Meng Ke hesitantly asked.

In the passenger seat, Bai Xiaoxiao, feeling bored, casually opened the storage box in front of her. When she saw the contents, a slight surprise flashed in her eyes.

She replied perfunctorily to Meng Ke, "Yes, I asked Ranran if it was Mo Xiuchen who sent someone."

Perhaps sensing something strange in her voice, Meng Ke turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, taking out a box from inside, a box of twelve Durex; if it hadn’t been opened, she wouldn’t have looked.

But this box was obviously opened, and the flap wasn’t properly closed.

Out of curiosity, Bai Xiaoxiao opened the box that wasn’t initially closed.

Inside, one of the twelve condoms was missing.

"Xiaoxiao, this..."

Seeing the condom Bai Xiaoxiao took out from the box, Meng Ke was so shocked that he forgot to watch the road, nearly hitting the guardrail.

"Careful driving."

The sudden jolt caused the box in Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand to fall to her foot.

"I’m sorry, Xiaoxiao."

Thankfully, danger was averted, and Meng Ke steadied the car, gripping the steering wheel more tightly due to the earlier tension.

"What are you sorry for, this?"

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him with a teasing smile.

She wasn’t angry; in fact, she didn’t believe that it was Meng Ke’s.

Nor did she believe that Meng Ke would use these and leave them in the car.

Meng Ke looked at the condom in Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand, his face changing color, "Xiaoxiao, these aren’t mine."

"I know, if I’m not mistaken, it should be Xu Wanqi who put them in your car."

Bai Xiaoxiao said, putting the items back into the box and placing it back in the storage compartment.

Meng Ke frowned, recalling the time he had dinner with Xu Wanqi that night.

If Xu Wanqi put it there, when did she do it?

How did he not know?

"Xiaoxiao, Wanqi isn’t that type of person. Although she likes me, she has always loved silently, and definitely wouldn’t put such things in my car."

In Meng Ke’s heart, Xu Wanqi was still a decent woman.

At least, before Bai Xiaoxiao returned to the country, Xu Wanqi and he had always gotten along well.

He naturally knew of Xu Wanqi’s admiration for him, but since she didn’t explicitly state it, he pretended not to know, enjoying her admiration.

Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled at Meng Ke, "Then who else besides Xu Wanqi rode in your car?"

"Yaoyao has ridden in it."

Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at Meng Ke and said no more.

She didn’t know why Meng Ke was quick to defend Xu Wanqi, but she calmly pulled out her phone and dialed Li Shi Yao’s number.

"Xiaoxiao, who are you calling?"

"I’m calling Shi Yao to ask her why on earth she’d use such things and leave them in your car."

Bai Xiaoxiao’s words fell, and Meng Ke’s face changed again, "Xiaoxiao, Yaoyao is not a child anymore; she’s already twenty-one."

"But she shouldn’t be leaving them in your car either."

Bai Xiaoxiao said, suddenly narrowing her eyes and sharply looking at Meng Ke, "Meng Ke, these aren’t actually yours, are they?"

"Of course not."

Meng Ke denied without hesitation.
