Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1639: Chapter 1638: Why Should I Treat You?

Wen Ran’s eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on her lips.

She had always believed Mo Xiuchen’s words.

Hearing him say that, she didn’t hesitate much and took out her phone to dial Jing Xiaocha’s number.

The phone rang twice, and Jing Xiaocha’s voice came through, carrying a hint of delight, “Sister Wen.”

“Xiaocha, are you busy right now?”

“Not busy, Sister Wen. Why are you calling me? Is there something you need?”

Wen Ran smiled and looked at Bai Xiaoxiao beside her, “Yes, there’s something I need…”

“Alright, Sister Wen, I’ll be there for the appointment tonight.”

Hearing Wen Ran’s words, Jing Xiaocha agreed without a moment’s hesitation.

“Xiaoxiao, you should call Li Shi Yao. Xiaocha agreed and said she’d be there for the appointment tonight.”

After hanging up, Wen Ran said to Bai Xiaoxiao with a smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao then called Li Shi Yao back and told her that Jing Xiaocha had agreed.

Li Shi Yao expressed her gratitude over the phone, “Thank you, Sister Xiaoxiao. I knew you’d come through for me.”

“No need to thank me.”

Bai Xiaoxiao replied lightly.

Li Shi Yao immediately added, “Sister Xiaoxiao, I also helped arrange dinner for you and my cousin at a romantic couple’s restaurant. I’ve already told him, and he’ll pick you up after work. Sister Xiaoxiao, I wish you and my cousin a pleasant dinner in advance.”

“…”

Before Bai Xiaoxiao could say a word, Li Shi Yao hung up.

Looking at the call log on her phone screen, Bai Xiaoxiao frowned unhappily.

“What’s up, Xiaoxiao?”

Beside her, Wen Ran asked with concern, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and put away her phone, “Li Shi Yao said she arranged dinner for me and Meng Ke, and has already told Meng Ke to pick me up after work.”

“She’s really fawning over you, Xiaoxiao. It seems that Li Shi Yao can’t wait for you and Meng Ke to get married.”

“If I tell you something, you won’t say that.”

Bai Xiaoxiao dismissed it with a pout, not particularly fond of Li Shi Yao.

For some reason, she just didn’t have a good impression.

“What is it?”

Wen Ran blinked with amusement.

Bai Xiaoxiao said casually, “Yesterday, when I went to Meng Ke’s house, Li Shi Yao and her parents were there too. She complimented my clothes and asked if Meng Ke bought them for me. She also said that once married, I’d surely be in charge of finances.”

“Pfft!”

Wen Ran burst into laughter unreservedly.

Bai Xiaoxiao gave her a sideways glance.

Suppressing her laughter, Wen Ran asked, “And what did Meng Ke say?”

“He sternly scolded Li Shi Yao.”

To be fair, Meng Ke had been quite nice to her.

Regardless of whether Bai Xiaoxiao liked him or not, she had to admit this.

**

That afternoon, Xiao Yuting came to the company again.

He discussed contract details with Bai Xiaoxiao, and after a long two-hour discussion, finally signed the contract.

“Xiaoxiao, here’s to a successful collaboration!”

Xiao Yuting extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner, a charming smile on his handsome face.

Bai Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, a smile forming on her face, “Here’s to a successful collaboration!”

After shaking hands, Xiao Yuting glanced at the time, “It’s already five o’clock. To celebrate our new project, why don’t you treat me to dinner tonight?”

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him amusedly, “And why should I treat you?”

“I treated you to lunch. Isn’t it fair for you to treat me to dinner?”

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Bai Xiaoxiao glanced towards the door, speaking in a calm tone.

The office door opened, and Meng Ke’s tall figure appeared in the line of sight of Bai Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yuting.

“Xiaoxiao.”

Meng Ke called out with a cheerful smile before shifting his gaze from Bai Xiaoxiao to Xiao Yuting, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“President Xiao is here too.”

He spoke as he walked inside.

“Yes.”

Xiao Yuting curved his lips into a smile, extending his hand to shake with Meng Ke, “I’m here to discuss contracts with Xiaoxiao. Surely, Mr. Meng isn’t here to secure orders?”

Meng Ke displayed a look of sudden realization, then smiled, “President Xiao, now that you mention it, you’ve reminded me. Xiaoxiao, wouldn’t you consider it?”

“Consider what?”

Bai Xiaoxiao asked casually, returning to her desk with the contract.

Meng Ke chuckled, “Consider arranging a trip for all your company staff. I’ll offer you the best prices.”

“Xiaoxiao, if your company goes, then I’ll organize people from my company too. Let me know when you’ve decided.”

Having said that, Xiao Yuting sat back on the sofa.

He picked up the contract again, pretending to read it.

Meng Ke laughed, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yuting to Bai Xiaoxiao behind the desk, “Xiaoxiao, Yao Yao booked a restaurant for this evening, and asked me to pick you up after work. Did she tell you?”

“Does Mr. Meng need someone else to book dinner for a date? That doesn’t seem very earnest.”

Xiao Yuting quipped with a smile, as if joking.

In fact, he knew Meng Ke wanted him to leave just now.

But he deliberately stayed.

Not only did he stay, but he also sat down.

Meng Ke frowned, feeling a hint of displeasure towards Xiao Yuting.

Just that morning at Bai Xiaoxiao’s house, Xiao Yuting had tried to stir things up by implying he didn’t like Mother Bai’s breakfast.

And now he was insinuating that his date lacked sincerity.

Meng Ke gritted his teeth internally, maintaining a calm exterior and a steady voice devoid of any anger, “President Xiao is quite the joker. Yao Yao is my cousin, and she arranged dinner out of kindness.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you, Mr. Meng.”

Xiao Yuting stood up with the contract in hand, flicking his sleeves with his long fingers, smiling brightly at Meng Ke, “Xiaoxiao just said that she planned to treat me to dinner tonight to celebrate our successful cooperation. Xiaoxiao, since Mr. Meng is here, why not let him join us?”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s lip twitched.

When did she say she would treat him to dinner?

He was clearly the one who suggested it.

And she hadn’t agreed.

Meng Ke’s eyes flashed with suspicion, his gaze resting on Xiao Yuting for a second before turning to Bai Xiaoxiao.

“Xiaoxiao, didn’t Yao Yao tell you?”

In front of the sofa, Xiao Yuting signaled Bai Xiaoxiao with his eyes and pointed to the contract in his hands.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, and she apologized slightly, “Yao Yao did tell me, but I got so busy this afternoon that I forgot.”

Pausing slightly, Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Yuting.

Then continued, “Xiao Yuting mentioned celebrating the signing of the contract, so I agreed. Why don’t we skip the place Yao Yao booked and go to Yi Pin Xuan tonight, my treat.”

“Yi Pin Xuan?”

“Yes, I have a VIP card there that offers discounts. Feel free to order anything you like.”

Bai Xiaoxiao said with a playful smile, this way, she could return the favor for Xiao Yuting’s lunch treat and also avoid being alone with Meng Ke.

For some reason, Bai Xiaoxiao found that since returning to the country, she was less inclined to be alone with Meng Ke.
