Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1641: Chapter 1640: That’s Between Xiaoxiao and Me

That night, Xiao Yuting’s words, Bai Xiaoxiao always thought he said them just to spite Meng Ke.

Afterwards, she didn’t think about it again.

Nor did she actually ask her father.

And Xiao Yuting never brought it up again, nor did they discuss their cooperation with the Luo Family.

The day before Ziyi, Momo, and Xinxin’s second birthday, Bai Xiaoxiao called Meng Ke, asking him to accompany her the next day.

Previously, when Bai Xiaoxiao was abroad, although Meng Ke confirmed their relationship, he never intentionally integrated into Wen Ran’s circle.

Therefore, whether it was Wen Ran’s child’s birthday or Gu Kai’s daughter’s birthday, Meng Ke never attended.

“Xiaoxiao, do you think it’s okay for me to go? I’m not familiar with Mo General and them…”

Meng Ke is actually worried about running into Luo Haofeng.

For the birthdays of Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran’s children, Luo Haofeng would certainly attend.

He didn’t want to seem like a petty man, but before he could finish, Bai Xiaoxiao interrupted him, “What’s so bad about it? You’re my boyfriend, Ranran is my good friend, and Ziyi, Momo, and Xinxin are my godsons and goddaughter.”

“Xiaoxiao, don’t be mad. I’ll come to your house tomorrow morning.”

Detecting her displeasure in her tone, Meng Ke quickly apologized over the phone.

Bai Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and then said, “Meng Ke, Luo Haofeng will definitely be there for Ziyi’s birthday. I want you to come with me because I don’t want you to overthink things. Luo Haofeng and I are just ordinary friends now.”

Since that dinner, Meng Ke hadn’t contacted Bai Xiaoxiao for two days, unsure if he was really busy or for other reasons.

“I understand, Xiaoxiao.”

Meng Ke seemed taken aback by Bai Xiaoxiao’s words, and after a moment, his voice carried a hint of complex emotion.

“Let’s leave it at that. I’m a bit tired from socializing tonight and will sleep first.”

“Okay, good night.”

Still at the travel agency, Meng Ke hung up the phone, pondered for a few seconds, shut down the computer, put on his jacket, and picked up his keys to leave the office.

“Cousin.”

Outside, Li Shi Yao had just finished her overtime work.

Seeing her packed up, she was likely planning to find Meng Ke.

Meng Ke smiled slightly, gently asking, “Yao Yao, finished?”

“Of course, the work arranged by my cousin can’t be left unfinished when leaving, cousin, shouldn’t you treat me to a late-night snack as a reward?”

While speaking, Li Shi Yao took two steps forward, looking brightly at Meng Ke.

Meng Ke’s brows subtly furrowed, “Yao Yao, I have something to do and can’t join you for a late snack. How about I give you some money, and you can get something yourself?”

“Cousin, are you going to see Sister Xiaoxiao? I want to go too.”

Hearing Meng Ke say he had something to do, Li Shi Yao instinctively thought he was going to see Bai Xiaoxiao.

Meng Ke took out his wallet, pulled out two hundred-yuan bills and handed them to her, “I’m going to see Xiaoxiao, but you can’t come.”

“Why? Is it because Sister Xiaoxiao doesn’t like me?”

Receiving the money, Li Shi Yao pouted unhappily.

Meng Ke shook his head, his tone calm, “Don’t guess randomly. I have matters to discuss with Xiaoxiao, so I can’t bring you along.”

“Then promise me one thing, cousin?”

Seeing Meng Ke unwilling to let her accompany, Li Shi Yao did not dare truly annoy him.

Meng Ke put the wallet back into his pants pocket, casually glancing at Li Shi Yao, “What is it?”

Li Shi Yao smiled flatteringly, “Cousin, tomorrow is Sister Xiaoxiao’s godson and goddaughter’s birthday, right?”

“How did you know?”

Turning off the lights and heading towards the door, Meng Ke asked.

Leaving the travel agency, Li Shi Yao followed him to his parking spot, “I am friends with Jing Xiaocha now. Today, I saw her buying gifts, saying that tomorrow is Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran’s children’s birthday.”

Meng Ke turned to look at Li Shi Yao. In the dim lighting, his expression was mildly displeased, “Yao Yao, even if you’re friends with Jing Xiaocha, it doesn’t mean you can integrate into her circle.”

“Cousin?”

Li Shi Yao’s face slightly changed, looking at Meng Ke puzzledly.

Meng Ke said lightly, “Before Sister Xiaoxiao returned, I had no associations with Mo Xiuchen and the others. I’m going tomorrow because Sister Xiaoxiao asked me to accompany her.”

Implying that Li Shi Yao shouldn’t entertain unnecessary thoughts.

Li Shi Yao frowned, pouting, and huffed, “Cousin, do you think I want to befriend Mo Xiuchen and them?”

She said with great grievance, “I want to go, but not for my sake, it’s for you.”

“For me?”

Meng Ke’s eyebrows knitted, a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

Li Shi Yao’s eyes darted, lowering her eyes and turning towards the front of his car.

Meng Ke watched Li Shi Yao’s back for two seconds, then moved to the front of the car and opened the car door.

Inside the car, Meng Ke turned his head, his gaze directed slightly at Li Shi Yao, “Yao Yao, you haven’t answered my question earlier?”

Under his questioning, Li Shi Yao shyly lowered her head, hands crossing on her lap, “Cousin, I know before Sister Xiaoxiao dated you, she was in a relationship with someone named Luo Haofeng.”

“…”

Meng Ke didn’t speak, only his eyes darkened.

Li Shi Yao glanced at him, then quickly looked down, avoiding eye contact, “Cousin, that Luo Haofeng is friends with Mo Xiuchen and them. In such a setting, he would definitely attend.”

“He and Xiaoxiao have had no ties for a long time, where did you hear this from?”

Meng Ke had never told Li Shi Yao these things.

Li Shi Yao previously didn’t know about Bai Xiaoxiao, but now saying this, Meng Ke’s eyebrows furrowed again.

Perhaps it was the gloomy tone in his voice; startled, Li Shi Yao’s eyes met his deep gaze, and she instinctively pursed her lips tightly.

Meng Ke’s eyes narrowed, sharply looking at Li Shi Yao.

Li Shi Yao couldn’t endure such a sharp and severe gaze, timidly saying, “It was Aunt who told me.”

“My mom?”

Meng Ke’s lips curved, but it didn’t form a smile.

Li Shi Yao nodded, “Cousin, Aunt is also thinking of your well-being. You’ve waited for Sister Xiaoxiao for so many years. She was abroad before, but now she’s back and doesn’t want to marry you.”

“Who said Xiaoxiao doesn’t want to marry me?”

Meng Ke asked with a displeased tone.

Li Shi Yao pursed her lips, “If she wanted to marry you, then when Aunt and my mom asked her, why didn’t she answer?”

“Yao Yao, this is between Xiaoxiao and me.”

It has nothing to do with anyone else!

The latter half, Meng Ke didn’t voice, but his meaning was obvious.

He had waited so long, he didn’t mind waiting a few more months.

As he said, he wouldn’t force Bai Xiaoxiao, even less pressuring her into marriage. They didn’t previously have time together, and she didn’t fully understand him yet.

He was willing to give her time, waiting for the day she understood him and was willing to entrust her life to him.
