Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1638: Chapter 1637: Helping Out

After lunch, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t take Xiao Yuting’s car again.

Instead, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran gave her a ride back to the company.

Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao sat in the back seat while Mo Xiuchen drove. Ever since Wen Ran started working with him, Mo Xiuchen rarely used a driver.

“Xiaoxiao, how did you feel at Meng Ke’s house yesterday?”

Wen Ran wanted to call Bai Xiaoxiao last night, but thinking that she’d definitely be asked about it by Mr. and Mrs. Bai, she decided against it.

So she didn’t call her.

Bai Xiaoxiao thought for a moment before answering, “It was fine, his parents were nice and welcoming. It’s just that their words implied they hope Meng Ke and I get married soon.”

“That’s to be expected. As long as they aren’t direct about it, just pretend you don’t understand.”

Wen Ran wasn’t surprised. Meng Ke and Mo Xiuchen were around the same age. It’d be strange not to be urged to marry.

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed, “I’ve already told Meng Ke that I don’t want to get married for now, so he should handle his parents.”

“You told Meng Ke directly that you don’t want to get married yet? Didn’t he ask when you’d consider it?”

Wen Ran blinked curiously. She hadn’t interacted much with Meng Ke before, but from what she saw, he seemed like an honest, gentle man.

However, after yesterday, Wen Ran felt that Meng Ke wasn’t as straightforward as he seemed.

He was rather shrewd and calculating.

“He didn’t ask that. Although I’m his girlfriend, we haven’t spent much time together. I can’t just get married as soon as I return home without getting to know each other. Ranran, here’s some good news: my dad supports me too.”

Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao’s proud smile, Wen Ran chuckled, “I bet Uncle Bai supports you, but Aunt Qiao wouldn’t know about it, right?”

“So smart!”

Bai Xiaoxiao gave a thumbs-up, “As long as my dad supports me, it’s two to one, my mom loses.”

“Did Meng Ke also go with you to the deaf and mute school yesterday?”

Wen Ran changed the subject. She had wanted to go with them yesterday, but Mo Xiuchen had insisted on her company.

“No, Meng Ke had something and went back to the travel agency. His cousin went with me. You won’t believe it, but Meng Ke’s cousin is actually classmates with Xiaocha.”

“Now that you’ve mentioned it, I don’t have to guess.”

Wen Ran’s words earned a playful glare from Bai Xiaoxiao, “Yesterday, when I chatted with Xiaocha, it seemed like she was recommended as an exchange student. Do you know about this?”

“Exchange student?”

Wen Ran’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, “I didn’t know.”

“It’s probably not confirmed yet.”

Just as Bai Xiaoxiao finished speaking, her phone rang.

“Meng Ke’s cousin.” Seeing the caller ID, Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows. What could Li Shi Yao want?

“Hello.”

“Sister Xiaoxiao, it’s me, Yao Yao.”

On the other end, Li Shi Yao’s cheerful voice came through, bringing a smile to Bai Xiaoxiao’s lips, “Yao Yao, what’s up?”

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t feel particularly close to Li Shi Yao. Although they went shopping together yesterday and later went to the deaf and mute school,

Li Shi Yao’s intentions were obvious.

While shopping, she pulled her along to have Meng Ke pay for everything.

Later at the deaf and mute school, she clung to Jin Zheyu, completely forgetting about her.

“Sister Xiaoxiao, I want to ask for your help.”

As expected, Li Shi Yao contacted her for a favor.

Thinking quickly, Bai Xiaoxiao’s mind flashed with several guesses, asking calmly, “How can I help?”

Li Shi Yao immediately replied, “Sister Xiaoxiao, it’s like this. I had some misunderstandings with Jing Xiaocha before. After going to the deaf and mute school together yesterday, I realized I was wrong.”

Bai Xiaoxiao listened silently.

“I want to apologize and invite her for a meal, but if I invite her, she’ll likely refuse. Sister Xiaoxiao, can you help me invite Jing Xiaocha?”

“Aren’t you in the same class? No need to bother inviting her out for a meal. Just apologize to her face-to-face for the misunderstandings you had.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s tone was calm, but Li Shi Yao on the other end was slightly anxious, “Sister Xiaoxiao, I want to invite her for a meal to show my sincerity.”

“I’ve done things that hurt her before. Just apologizing doesn’t feel enough. Sister Xiaoxiao, please help me. All you need to do is call Jing Xiaocha and have her accept the invitation. It’s at the Hunan restaurant near our school…”

“Sister Xiaoxiao, I’m begging you.”

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, “Alright, I’ll call Xiaocha and try, but I can’t guarantee she’ll go. I don’t know what misunderstanding you guys had.”

“Sister Xiaoxiao, as long as you help, Jing Xiaocha will definitely agree. Don’t worry. I genuinely want to be friends with her and won’t make the same mistakes as before.”

“Alright, I’ll call you back later.”

“Sister Xiaoxiao, thank you, you’re the best.”

After hanging up, Bai Xiaoxiao recounted what Li Shi Yao had said over the phone to Wen Ran.

“Xiaoxiao, do you think Li Shi Yao is sincere?”

Wen Ran asked, slightly concerned.

Given Jing Xiaocha’s family background, it’s unsurprising that some people at school view her oddly or bully her. This didn’t surprise Wen Ran.

They’ve attended school before.

A school is like a small society.

But Li Shi Yao’s sudden desire to apologize and reconcile with Jing Xiaocha, without understanding her sincerity, requires caution.

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, thinking for a moment before speaking softly, “Yesterday, apart from her roommate, there was also a boy who went to the deaf and mute school with Xiaocha. He’s their senior.”

“Is it that boy named Jin Zheyu?”

From the front, Mo Xiuchen interjected casually.

Bai Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised, “Xiuchen, you know?”

“Yes, I know. That boy likes Jing Xiaocha. Could it be that Meng Ke’s cousin likes that boy and wants to be on good terms with Jing Xiaocha?”

Mo Xiuchen’s questioning tone was actually quite certain.

Wen Ran was surprised, “Li Shi Yao likes Jin Zheyu? I thought I heard Xiaocha mention that her roommate Lu Lu also likes Jin Zheyu, and she’s there as a third wheel.”

“Yeah, I noticed it yesterday.”

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, relationships among those young folks are complicated.

“Ranran, you call Jing Xiaocha. Xiaoxiao isn’t as familiar with her. Since Li Shi Yao is trying to connect with Jing Xiaocha through a boy, she wouldn’t dare do anything.”

“Yeah, you call, Ranran. I’ve only known her for two days, not as well as you do.”

Wen Ran glanced at Mo Xiuchen, then at Bai Xiaoxiao, “Alright, I’ll call Xiaocha now to see if she’s willing to meet Li Shi Yao.”

“Jing Xiaocha will definitely agree.”

In the driver’s seat, Mo Xiuchen’s lips curled into a small smile, his expression confident: Jing Xiaocha’s crush isn’t Jin Zheyu anyway!
