Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1628: Chapter 1627: No Wonder He Went to Your House So Early

At the urging of Mr. and Mother Bai, Bai Xiaoxiao was hurriedly sent out of the house early.

“Xiaoxiao, this is your first time going to Little Meng’s house, leave early and remember to buy a gift.”

Bai Xiaoxiao pouted discontentedly, “Mom, it’s only nine o’clock, even if we buy a gift, it doesn’t need to be this early.”

“I said leave early, so leave early, do you think it’s okay to meet your in-laws for the first time by going there just in time for lunch?”

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, “Mom, the way you say it makes me scared to go.”

Once the car was on the road, Meng Ke asked, “What did auntie just say to you? You look unhappy.”

Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled and replied, “My mom said that I have to make a good impression for my first visit to your place, and now I’m scared to go.”

“No need to be afraid; just act like you’re at home.”

Meng Ke’s brows softened with a gentle smile. He turned his head to glance at her and added, “My parents are easy to get along with. My mom just likes playing cards.”

“Playing cards?”

Bai Xiaoxiao said apologetically, “I’m not very good at playing cards. Does auntie have other hobbies besides that?”

To win over the future mother-in-law, first, you need to understand her hobbies.

If there’s not even a common topic, the conversation will definitely stall.

Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao care so much about the first impression she makes on his mom, Meng Ke felt very pleased and reached out a hand to pat Bai Xiaoxiao’s head.

Trying to comfort her this way.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered as she stopped his action, “Focus on driving, it looks like that car is about to overtake us.”

Meng Ke’s expression stiffened for a moment, then he withdrew his hand and took hold of the steering wheel again.

“My mom’s favorite thing is playing cards, apart from that, she enjoys beauty treatments, shopping, and like most old ladies, her biggest wish is to have a chubby grandchild early.”

In the end, Meng Ke slowed his speech, and his smile carried a hint of ambiguity in his eyes.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes twinkled, and she laughed, “Then why didn’t you get married at eighteen?”

“Getting married at eighteen, Xiaoxiao, do you think I’m that kind of person?”

Meng Ke raised his eyebrows, looking at Bai Xiaoxiao with great interest.

“Didn’t you say your mom really wants a grandchild? You’re an only child, so getting married as soon as you’re an adult isn’t too unusual.”

“Haha, if I had met you ten years ago, maybe I would have thought about settling down back then.” Meng Ke suddenly laughed cheerfully.

Bai Xiaoxiao glared at him but said nothing.

After laughing, Meng Ke composed his expression and casually said, “I heard from your aunt that you came to see me last night?”

Bai Xiaoxiao had just turned her head to look out the window, and when she heard Meng Ke’s words, a slight surprise arose in her heart, her gaze shifted to the window.

Meng Ke’s words continued, “Xiaoxiao, did you sneak out to have some fun last night?”

“Yeah, I couldn’t sleep, wanted to see if the city’s nightlife had gotten more beautiful after two years.”

Bai Xiaoxiao turned back to look at Meng Ke.

Meng Ke chuckled, “Why didn’t you ask me to join you? Luckily I reacted quickly; otherwise, I would’ve accidentally spilled the beans.”

“Thanks for covering for me with the lie; I was going to ask you out, but just stepped out and ran into Xiao Yuting coming home.”

Bai Xiaoxiao explained briefly.

Meng Ke suddenly realized, “No wonder Xiao Yuting went to your house so early; he must have known you were back since last night.”

In the morning, when Mother Bai mentioned it, Meng Ke had speculated whether Bai Xiaoxiao had gone to see Luo Haofeng.

After all, yesterday afternoon, on the way sending her home, they ran into Luo Haofeng.

Now that she said she was with Xiao Yuting, he felt relieved.

Although Xiao Yuting was once Bai Xiaoxiao’s crush and even had an engagement, they had long since moved on.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s feelings for Xiao Yuting were not as persistent as they were for Luo Haofeng.

“It was just a coincidence that Xiao Yuting happened to come home.”

Bai Xiaoxiao answered with a smile; she didn’t tell Meng Ke that she went to Wen Ran’s home.

Last night, she wanted to see Luo Haofeng, but it was not for a secret date; she decided to see him to say something clearly.

To tell him not to do anything for her.

“Xiaoxiao, you don’t need to explain it so clearly to me; I didn’t mean anything by it.”

Meng Ke quickly explained, fearing Bai Xiaoxiao might get angry, thinking he didn’t trust her.

Actually, Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t angry.

Perhaps because she didn’t care, she wasn’t inclined to get angry.

Even if he had suspicions, Bai Xiaoxiao felt it wasn’t a problem.

She smiled casually, brushed back the strands of hair on her forehead, “Why would I be angry? You’re not accusing me of anything.”

“That’s good. Even though you’re my girlfriend, you have absolute freedom, and I won’t interfere with your friendships. When you were abroad, I never said these things.”

Meng Ke slowed the car, turned to glance at Bai Xiaoxiao, and spoke very earnestly.

***

Mo Xiuchen received a call from Qin Mu while he and Wen Ran were on their way to the mall with the three little ones.

Because they were not far from home.

The weather was good today, so Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran decided not to drive, taking the three kids on a walk to the mall instead.

Seeing the incoming call, Mo Xiuchen told Momo and Xinxin to stay with their mom before answering the phone, “Hello, Ah Mu.”

“Um, if the company is busy recently, I can work for a few days.”

Qin Mu’s voice came through the phone.

Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes narrowed for a moment, then his lips curved into a delighted smile, “Ah Mu, are you coming back to work?”

“Isn’t it because you and Ah Feng made a bet to make me come back to work?”

Qin Mu’s tone was displeased, clearly unwilling.

Mo Xiuchen chuckled, “Yes, I did bet with Ah Feng, but how did he persuade you to come back to work?”

He was curious about what method Luo Haofeng used to make Ah Mu willing to return to work.

He had mentioned many times over the past few months for Qin Mu to return to the company, but Qin Mu was relentless, saying he wanted to vacation until An Lin gave birth.

“That’s a secret between Ah Feng and me, you don’t need to know.”

Qin Mu snorted on the other end, the more Mo Xiuchen wanted to know, the less he would tell him.

Mo Xiuchen laughed nonchalantly, “I just asked casually, I’m not actually interested, as long as you come back to work, nothing else matters.”

“Really?”

Qin Mu chuckled disbelievingly.

He had known Mo Xiuchen long enough to understand him well.

Mo Xiuchen casually replied “Of course”, then noticed Momo and Xinxin running off, fearing they might head for the street, he said, “Ranran and I are taking the kids shopping, so I’ll talk to you later.” and hung up the phone.

On the other end, Qin Mu hadn’t expected Mo Xiuchen to hang up so quickly, causing his handsome brows to furrow.

Beside him, An Lin turned her head to look at him, “Finished with the call?”

“Mm.”

Qin Mu nodded, secretly thinking that Mo Xiuchen must have done it on purpose.

A few minutes later, seeing An Lin had removed her face mask, he said gently, “An Lin, let’s go shopping at the mall, and have lunch at Xiu Chen’s house.”
