Chapter 1644: Chapter 1643: Staying in G City for a Few Days
Mo Xiuchen furrowed his brows and glanced at Wen Jin, stepping past him and heading towards the pastry chef, “I’m here to make a cake.”
“Ah Jin, you definitely guessed it right, Xiuchen must have been driven here by Ranran.”
Qin Mu looked at Mo Xiuchen with schadenfreude.
Wen Jin’s lips curved into a pleasant arc, “That’s called karma for wicked people.”
“You two hurry up and get to work, don’t waste time talking,” Mo Xiuchen’s handsome face frowned in displeasure.
Qin Mu and Wen Jin smiled indifferently.
“I wonder when Ah Kai will come over. Should we give him a call and ask him to come earlier to help?”
Qin Mu said, looking at Wen Jin.
“He’s not stupid, if you ask him to come and help, will he come earlier?”
Wen Jin asked with amusement, while Mo Xiuchen beside him smiled casually, “Tell him Bai Yiyi and An Lin lost a bet and need to cook. An Lin has Ah Mu to help, Bai Yiyi has no one to assist.”
“That’s pretty sly.”
Qin Mu’s eyes gleamed as a smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, “Then you should call him, you’re the host.”
He’s not foolish enough to deceive Gu Kai.
Mo Xiuchen is notoriously cunning, so it’s better to let him handle it.
“Isn’t Jing Xiaocha coming soon? Let her make the call, Ah Kai will definitely believe her more.”
Mo Xiuchen finished speaking and said to the pastry chef beside him, “You go do something else, I’ll handle this.”
“Alright, Mr. Mo.”
The person responded and stepped back two paces.
“Xiaocha might take a while to get here.”
Wen Jin pondered for a moment before continuing, “Instead of asking Xiaocha to call, better let Yiyi or Tongtong do it, Ah Kai will trust them more.”
“Haha, Bai Yiyi absolutely won’t help us deceive Ah Kai, but Tongtong might.”
Qin Mu’s eyes flickered with calculation, Wen Jin smiled and turned on the faucet to wash his hands, “I’m heading out for a bit, I’ll be back soon.”

On a main road leading to the suburbs, a business car drove smoothly towards its destination.
In the driver’s seat, Qing Feng controlled the steering wheel with both hands, focusing intently on the road ahead.
Luo Haofeng sat in the passenger seat, with Meng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao seated in the back.
Originally, Qing Feng suggested Luo Haofeng sit in the back, but he refused, opting for the front to enjoy more scenery.
He turned slightly, watching the rapidly retreating buildings through the window, catching glimpses of Meng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao seated in the back from his peripheral vision.
What caught his eyes was certainly that bright and elegant face.
Meng Ke talked with her, and she listened with a smile, creating a scene that seemed to pierce Luo Haofeng’s heart with something sharp.
An indescribable pain spread suddenly.
His large hand resting on his leg twitched slightly, his long fingers slowly curled.
“Xiaoxiao, did you see that store? It opened a few months ago and has excellent food; we should try it sometime.”
Meng Ke pointed out a restaurant retreating quickly out of view through the car window, explaining to Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao followed his gaze to the restaurant, but couldn’t see its name before it was already far behind.
“Sure, let’s go when we get the chance.”
She replied softly, looking forward.
Suddenly, a mobile ringtone sounded in the car, it was from the passenger seat, Luo Haofeng’s phone.
He took out the phone, furrowing his brow slightly at the caller ID, and pressed the answer button, “Hi, Mom.”
In the back, Bai Xiaoxiao heard Luo Haofeng call “Mom,” and her expression subtly changed.
In the passenger seat, Luo Haofeng didn’t miss the slight change on the elegant face reflected in the mirror, tightening his grip on the phone.
Bo Yi lightly pursed his lips, unknown what Mother Luo said on the call, only hearing his calm reply, “Mom, I need to stay in G City a few more days to handle things, let’s postpone the arranged dates.”
Meng Ke glanced forward at Luo Haofeng.
He’s actually having arranged dates?
Bai Xiaoxiao turned her head to look out the window, her expression changing briefly, then quickly returning to normal.
At that moment, her gaze out the window was serene as if they were calm waters, no visible emotion.
Whatever else Mother Luo said, Luo Haofeng remained composed, his tone calm.
Two minutes later, he ended the call.
“Is President Luo going on arranged dates?”
After he hung up, Meng Ke asked with a smile.
Earlier, he had been noticing Bai Xiaoxiao beside him, observing her just watching the scenery without glancing at Luo Haofeng.
Luo Haofeng glanced at Meng Ke in the rearview mirror, then turned to the back seat, his gaze swept over Bai Xiaoxiao before meeting Meng Ke’s smiling expression.
He slightly curved his lips and replied candidly, “I’ve been on dates for several days, originally had plans for tomorrow too but received a call when I landed needing to stay here for a few days.”
His words, regardless of explaining the phone call, seemed partly directed at Bai Xiaoxiao, indicating he’d remain in G City for a few days.
Meng Ke’s eyes flickered, then gave a warm laugh, “Didn’t expect such an outstanding man like President Luo to be dating.”
“It’s precisely because I’m too outstanding, hard to meet someone who catches my eye and heart, so I have to try dating.”
Luo Haofeng chuckled humorously, his tone rich in teasing.
Meng Ke was initially taken aback.
Looking at Luo Haofeng’s handsome smile, apart from laughing, he was momentarily unsure what to say.
But Luo Haofeng laughed a few times before continuing, “These consecutive days of dating thoroughly exposed the struggles of dating.”
“Xiaoxiao and I met through dating, I’m sure President Luo will meet a girl who captivates you.”
Meng Ke looked warmly at Bai Xiaoxiao beside him.
As he conversed with Luo Haofeng, slightly turned, hearing his words, the smile on his lips deepened, he looked towards Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao turned back, and coincidentally met Luo Haofeng’s gaze.
His long peach blossom eyes showed only happiness, nothing else.
Yet, her heart trembled ever so slightly.
Speaking of dating with Meng Ke…
Had Meng Ke not mentioned, she almost would have forgotten.
“Xiaoxiao, have you met any excellent girls abroad, if you have, introduce a few to Luo Haofeng.”
Meng Ke broke Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao’s exchanged glance.
Luo Haofeng was not angry, rather squinting his peach blossom eyes slightly, showing keen interest towards Bai Xiaoxiao.
As if truly wanting her to introduce some women for him to meet.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, calmly replying, “No, I didn’t make any good friends abroad, afraid of misjudging people again.”
The final words carried subtle emotion.
Meng Ke and Luo Haofeng both paused.
“Cheng Jia’s incident was such a long time ago.”
Luo Haofeng instinctively comforted, as he spoke, remembering something, he paused, glanced at Meng Ke out the corner of his eye, continued, “Even if she didn’t know you, it wouldn’t change anything, there’s no need to keep blaming yourself.”
