Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1741: Chapter 1740: Don’t Make Things Difficult for Yourself

"Aren’t I here to ask for your opinion first?"

Wen Jin’s smile was particularly gentle and jade-like, giving off a misleading impression of being completely harmless.

Wen Ran responded with an "Oh," and fell silent.

Wen Jin looked at her and gently asked, "Ranran, what are your thoughts?"

Wen Ran pursed her lips and softly said, "Last night, Xiaoxiao called me, saying she wants to break up with Meng Ke."

"Really? So Xiaoxiao doesn’t want to be with Meng Ke anymore."

Wen Jin’s handsome face slightly lifted, a faint curve forming at the corner of his lips.

If Xiaoxiao really wants to break up with Meng Ke, then his idea is feasible.

Just as well, it would allow Xiaoxiao and Meng Ke to part cleanly.

"Xiaoxiao never really liked Meng Ke. However, let’s not get involved with Xu Wanqi’s matter just yet. Wait for Xiaoxiao to bring up the breakup with Meng Ke herself, then decide based on the situation."

Wen Ran said while contemplating.

Wen Jin understood her meaning and nodded with a smile, "Alright, I just heard from Ah Kai that Ah Feng and his current girlfriend aren’t really in a relationship; they’re just pretending. He still wants to be with Xiaoxiao."

Wen Ran smiled, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat odd.

Seeing this, Wen Jin frowned, "Ranran, what kind of expression is that? Don’t scare me."

"Hehe, I wanted to tell you, your lifelong affair is settled."

**

In the afternoon, just before getting off work, Bai Xiaoxiao called Meng Ke.

She invited him to dinner that evening.

Meng Ke was delighted, specifically buying a bouquet of flowers for Bai Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, these are for you."

Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at the flowers in Meng Ke’s hand, smiled faintly, and accepted them, "Thank you."

"As long as you like them."

Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao accept the flowers, Meng Ke smiled happily.

"Xiaoxiao, where would you like to eat?"

As the car started, Meng Ke turned and asked Bai Xiaoxiao with a smile.

"Let’s go to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion."

Bai Xiaoxiao was admiring the view outside the car window. After the snow a few days ago, there had been two days of rain, but now the weather was clear again.

At this moment, the setting sun’s glow cast on the car window, illuminating half of her cheek.

Her gentle and serene eyes were brushed with a faint sheen.

The initially cozy atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by a phone ringing, the call was from Xu Wanqi.

"Senior, are you off work?"

Xu Wanqi’s voice gently floated through, causing Meng Ke to subconsciously furrow his brow and reply in a flat tone, "Wanqi, I have plans tonight, so I won’t be going to the hospital."

"Senior, there’s something I don’t know if I should tell you."

Upon hearing that he wasn’t going to the hospital, Xu Wanqi’s first reaction was that Meng Ke must be with Bai Xiaoxiao.

After a moment of silence, she hesitantly spoke.

"What is it?"

Meng Ke glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao through the rearview mirror, noticing she was still looking out the window, seemingly uninterested in who he was talking to.

The next moment, Xu Wanqi’s words caused his expression to change slightly.

"Did my mom and aunt visit you?" Meng Ke was a bit surprised, but not entirely unexpected.

He had promised to take care of Xu Wanqi, and his mother had strongly opposed it, calling him foolish.

"Yeah, Senior, I want to be discharged."

"Your injury hasn’t healed yet, why are you thinking about being discharged now?" Had she not hit the table corner with such force, she could have been discharged by now.

But with that hit, she almost crippled her arm.

Without ten days to half a month, Xu Wanqi couldn’t leave the hospital.

"Senior, Aunt was right. I shouldn’t trouble you anymore." Xu Wanqi’s voice was laden with self-blame, as if she had suddenly come to a realization.

Meng Ke slightly furrowed his brows but didn’t speak.

"Senior, I shouldn’t use the fact that you saved me twice to force you to take care of me. Before leaving, I want to tell you that I just love you too much. All these years, I always knew I wasn’t good enough for you, but I just can’t control my feelings."

"Whether it was back then or this time, it was all voluntary. For you, Senior, I’m not even afraid of death. But I’ve made you do things against your will, Senior, I’m sorry."

"..."

"I know you’re surely resentful towards me. I’ll explain everything to Miss Bai. Senior, you don’t have to worry about me anymore. This might be the last time I talk to you. Wanqi wishes you happiness."

After finishing, Xu Wanqi hung up the phone.

Meng Ke tightly furrowed his brow, conflicted about whether to visit the hospital.

Xu Wanqi’s sudden decision to be discharged made him think that his mom and aunt must have said something they shouldn’t have at the hospital.

No matter what Xu Wanqi had done wrong, she had gotten hurt for him twice, especially the first time, which was far more serious than this one.

At that time, Meng Ke had asked her to leave the travel agency, not because he was neglecting her, but to avoid conflicts between her and Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao finally turned her head to look at Meng Ke.

Seeing him with knitted brows, looking conflicted and torn, she spoke softly, "If you have other things to handle, feel free to go."

"No, nothing else, Xiaoxiao. I haven’t properly spent time with you these past days, and tonight, no matter how big the issue, I won’t leave you again."

After saying this, Meng Ke’s tightly knitted brows finally relaxed, and a gentle smile appeared.

Bai Xiaoxiao twitched the corners of her mouth into a smile but said nothing.

At Yi Pin Xuan, after ordering, Meng Ke excused himself to the restroom.

Bai Xiaoxiao sat alone by the window, the very table where she had originally gone on a blind date with Meng Ke.

The scene before her eyes seemed to transcend time, bringing her back to that day’s events.

She would always remember, on that day, she asked Ranran to accompany her on the blind date, only to encounter Mo Xiuchen and Luo Haofeng here.

At that time, Mo Xiuchen had taken Wen Ran away, while Luo Haofeng...

Thinking about that man caused a mysterious ache to rise in the depths of her heart.

She and he, how could they ever be together...

This was something Bai Xiaoxiao dared not think about. What stood between them seemed more than just the grudges of the previous generation. The biggest obstacle was their parents, who would never agree.

A soft voice broke through her chaotic thoughts, gently whispering, "Xiaoxiao, if you love Luo Haofeng, you must persist in loving him. Don’t give up."

Bai Xiaoxiao’s hands, clutching the cup, suddenly tightened.

She remembered Wen Ran saying this to her when Mo Xiuchen went to D Country for treatment, even though she knew about his illness, she dared not accompany him.

That day, when Bai Xiaoxiao rushed to her home, her face was covered in tears...

"Xiaoxiao, break up with Meng Ke."

With each memory, Bai Xiaoxiao’s resolve to break up with Meng Ke grew stronger.

A clear voice echoed in her heart: If you don’t love him, don’t make things difficult for yourself and hurt him.

Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and composed herself before Meng Ke returned. She had made up her mind to break up with Meng Ke today.

Things couldn’t continue like this.
