Chapter 1850: Chapter 1849: Who Am I Doing This For?
In the restroom, Wen Ran finished washing her hands and stood in front of the mirror, waiting for Bai Xiaoxiao.
Seeing her come out of the stall, Wen Ran turned and gave Bai Xiaoxiao a slight smile.
“Xiaoxiao, now that you’re really pregnant, are you planning to continue working at the company or take a break?”
At the mention of this, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly, walked to the sink, and while washing her hands, said, “On the way to the hospital just now, Haofeng was telling me to take a break for a while.”
Wen Ran pursed her lips and chuckled, teasingly said, “Luo Haofeng is quite careful with you, maybe you should listen to him and rest for a while.”
Bai Xiaoxiao cast a playful glance, “I’m not that delicate, and it’s not like I’m doing physical labor, no need to rest.”
Seeing her finish washing her hands, Wen Ran took out a tissue and handed it over.
Her brows and eyes always carried a smile, “You’re not that delicate, but resting is still better than working every day and tiring yourself out.”
Bai Xiaoxiao finished wiping her hands and threw the tissue into the nearby trash bin, “The company is busy recently, so Haofeng’s suggestion can only remain a suggestion.”
Not to mention Luo Haofeng is far away from her, even if they were in the same city, Luo Haofeng is not in the same company as her, can’t share her workload.
This is probably something Luo Haofeng feels guilty about himself.
“Aunt Qiao isn’t opposing you two anymore, is she?” Wen Ran asked with concern, earlier she had tricked Aunt Qiao, but now she was truly pregnant.
Bai Xiaoxiao blinked blankly, said quietly, “I don’t know either.”
“Does Aunt Qiao know you’re out tonight?”
Wen Ran’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, “I snuck out, neither my father nor my mother knows.”
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Bai Xiaoxiao frowned in distress and muttered, “Speak of the devil.”
Wen Ran chuckled, “It’s okay, just say you’re with me.”
Bai Xiaoxiao gave her a look that only Ranran understood best, then pressed the answer button with her fair index finger.
Wen Ran stood beside her, smiling softly and watching Bai Xiaoxiao answer the call with gentle eyes.
“Mom, I’m with Ranran now…” Bai Xiaoxiao said as she awkwardly made faces at Wen Ran.
“Why are you with Ranran so late?”
On the other end of the line, Mother Bai’s voice carried three parts curiosity and two parts confusion.
Mostly because Bai Xiaoxiao hadn’t informed them when she went out.
Mother Bai was partly worried about Bai Xiaoxiao being pregnant and going out so late isn’t good for her condition.
Partly she suspected Bai Xiaoxiao was with Luo Haofeng and felt a bit annoyed that Luo Haofeng would call her out so late, disregarding her schedule.
Bai Xiaoxiao laughed lightly, “Mom, it seems you don’t believe I’m with Ranran, Ranran, say a few words to my mom.”
Bai Xiaoxiao using Wen Ran as a shield was not just once or twice.
And she used it quite skillfully.
After speaking, the phone was already handed to Wen Ran, who laughed quietly, put the phone to her ear, and cheerfully and politely greeted “Aunt Qiao.”
Upon hearing Wen Ran’s voice, Qiao Xiuyun had no choice but to believe that Bai Xiaoxiao was with her.
“Ranran, Xiaoxiao is really with you, I was worried she ran off and something happened.”
“Aunt Qiao, Xiaoxiao is with me, don’t worry.”
“Is she at your house?”
“Oh, we’re at Yi Pin Xuan, Ziyi’s advertisement that was shot a few days ago was just aired, Mo Xiuchen kept saying we should celebrate for him. But we’ve been busy lately, and tonight Ziyi’s next advertisement’s shoot was confirmed, so we’re celebrating altogether.”
Bai Xiaoxiao watched Wen Ran lie without hesitation, even without a draft, and she spoke fluently without stuttering.
She immediately gave Wen Ran a thumbs up, smiling widely at her.
Ranran, you’re amazing, respect, respect.
Wen Ran glared at her, for whom am I lying like this?
Bai Xiaoxiao blinked innocently, and humorously bowed to her.
Wen Ran couldn’t be bothered by her and listened to Qiao Xiuyun on the other end of the line advising Bai Xiaoxiao to go home and rest early.
“Aunt Qiao, don’t worry, I’ll take Xiaoxiao home now. Her situation is special, she shouldn’t stay up late, if it wasn’t for Ziyi insisting on having his godmother celebrate with him, I wouldn’t have called Xiaoxiao this late.”
“Is Ziyi next to you? I’d like to say a few words to him.”
Since it was a celebration for Ziyi, it was only natural for Qiao Xiuyun to say a few words of congratulations.
Wen Ran smiled, “Aunt Qiao, that little fellow Ziyi is sleeping, these past few days have tired him out. I’ll bring him to visit Aunt Qiao at home another time.”
Coming out of the restroom, she unexpectedly ran into Li Shi Yao.
“Sister Wen, Sister Xiaoxiao.”
Seeing Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao, Li Shi Yao’s face first showed a hint of surprise, then her eyes flickered, seeming a bit awkward.
But she still took the initiative to greet them.
Her cousin Meng Ke had now become a wanted fugitive, and Li Shi Yao knew about the things he had done before.
Therefore, seeing Bai Xiaoxiao, she couldn’t act naturally.
Bai Xiaoxiao met her flickering gaze and calmly asked, “Shi Yao, why are you still here so late?”
“I… came here with Jiang Hui and was just about to leave.”
At Yi Pin Xuan, Li Shi Yao was lightly dressed, and Bai Xiaoxiao inadvertently noticed a red mark on Li Shi Yao’s neck.
Her eyes revealed a hint of suspicion, and after Li Shi Yao spoke, she hurriedly went into the restroom.
Bai Xiaoxiao turned back for another glance.
Beside her, Wen Ran did not pay much attention to Li Shi Yao, but thought that if Li Shi Yao had come here with Jiang Hui for a meal, then Jiang Hui should accompany her for restroom visits.
Girls are different from men, generally preferring company when going to the restroom.
“Ranran, did you notice that Li Shi Yao had what seemed like a kiss mark on her neck?”
Bai Xiaoxiao mused with a light frown.
Wen Ran’s face showed a hint of surprise, “Really? Didn’t she say she came here with Jiang Hui?”
“Maybe, there are others too.”
Bai Xiaoxiao spoke casually, not seriously.
Wen Ran smiled, Li Shi Yao wasn’t even considered a friend to them, just someone they knew. But for some reason, her interest was piqued.
“To know who she’s dining with here, just ask the manager to check the surveillance.”
Speaking of which, the private rooms in high-end restaurants like Yi Pin Xuan don’t have cameras, surveillance is only installed in the corridors.
It’s to protect guests’ privacy.
The two chatted and returned to the private room. Before they pushed open the door, they heard a familiar woman’s voice inside, warm yet not pretentious.
Despite this, Wen Ran’s expression changed, and her delicate brows unconsciously furrowed.
