Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1642: Chapter 1641: He Walks Toward the Sunlight

Early the next morning, Meng Ke arrived at Bai Xiaoxiao’s house.

Unlike last time, he called her in advance this time.

Bai Xiaoxiao answered the call, got up, washed, and went downstairs.

Not seeing Meng Ke in the living room, only her mother sat on the sofa. Seeing her come down, Mother Bai’s face showed a gentle smile, she stood up and walked out of the sofa.

“Xiaoxiao, Little Meng said he called you, it seems to be true.”

“I couldn’t sleep in because of him.”

Bai Xiaoxiao pretended to be displeased and frowned, “Mom, where are Dad and Meng Ke?”

“You assume he’s with your dad?”

Mother Bai laughed playfully and walked over, glancing towards the door, “In the yard outside.”

Bai Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, “I don’t need to guess, okay, if he wasn’t with Dad, would you be sitting alone in the living room?”

“Come on, let’s go outside and see what they’re talking about, and call them in for breakfast.”

Bai Xiaoxiao and her mother walked arm in arm into the yard, where not far away, Meng Ke and Mr. Bai were sitting at a marble table.

Meng Ke was slightly bending over, pouring hot water for Mr. Bai.

“Dad, have you two had your fill of hot water? If not, come in for breakfast.”

Bai Xiaoxiao and Mother Bai joked with laughter as they approached the marble table.

After speaking, she glanced at Meng Ke, meeting his smiling eyes, “Have you had breakfast yet?”

“Xiaoxiao, how could you ask like that? Little Meng came so early, he probably hasn’t eaten.”

Mother Bai gave Bai Xiaoxiao a sideways glance, then warmly invited Meng Ke into the living room.

After breakfast, Meng Ke played a few rounds of chess with Mr. Bai. It was nearly ten o’clock when Meng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao set off for Mo Xiuchen’s house.

“Xiaoxiao, let’s buy a gift first.”

As the car hit the road, Meng Ke turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao in the passenger seat, speaking gently.

Bai Xiaoxiao was initially taken aback, then she smiled and said, “I already bought the gift yesterday, we can go straight to Ranran’s house, no need to buy more.”

“Is that okay? It’s my first time going to celebrate the three little ones’ birthday. Going empty-handed, won’t it seem too stingy?”

Meng Ke’s eyes twinkled, the corners of his mouth turning up into a smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him with amusement, “Of course not, you’re my boyfriend. The gift is from both of us.”

She said, glancing at the gift in the backseat.

Meng Ke seemed to ponder for a few seconds, his eyes filled with laughter, his mood suddenly brightened, “Okay, since you say so, I won’t buy any.”

His biggest worry was Xiaoxiao drawing a clear line between them.

That day at his house, when Xiaoxiao refused his gift, he felt very upset.

Now, Xiaoxiao said he was her boyfriend and that her gift represented both of them. It might seem he got a bargain, but he was very happy.

Midway through the trip, for some unknown reason, there was an accident ahead, and the car queue formed a long dragon.

It was already 10:40, and there was no sign of progress. Bai Xiaoxiao was losing patience, frowning slightly.

“Xiaoxiao, why don’t we get out and walk a bit?”

Meng Ke looked out the car window, assessing the road, then turned to Bai Xiaoxiao and asked gently.

Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated, biting her lip, then checked the time, unsure when the road would clear.

The phone rang, it was a call from Wen Ran.

“Xiaoxiao, why aren’t you here yet? Don’t tell me you’re still at home?”

On the phone, Wen Ran’s voice had a mix of concern and jest.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked out the window, “I’m stuck in traffic, been stuck for half an hour, no idea when it’ll clear.”

“Ah, you’re stuck on the road too?”

Wen Ran’s surprised voice came through.

Bai Xiaoxiao asked with curiosity, “Is it just me stuck on the road?”

“Of course it’s not just you, Luo Haofeng is also stuck. Are you alone, or…”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat.

Just because Wen Ran said that person was also stuck.

She grasped her phone tighter, instinctively looked ahead, then turned to look behind.

Feeling Meng Ke’s gaze beside her, Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at him too, a smile emerging, “I’m with Meng Ke. Ranran, this road seems like it’s going to be congested for a while, I’ve decided to walk to your house.”

“Alright, I’ll have someone come pick you up.”

After hanging up, Bai Xiaoxiao turned to Meng Ke and said, “Let’s get off and walk as you suggested. I’ll make a call first and have someone come to help with the car.”

“Let me call, the travel agency is nearby, it’s more convenient.”

Meng Ke smiled, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t object, no one could tell how long the traffic would last, it could be another half an hour, or maybe just a few more minutes until it cleared.

After making the call, Meng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao waited another two minutes. Once his people arrived, they got out of the car with the gift.

“I’ve already told Ranran, she’ll send a car to pick us up. You can drive the car to the travel agency later.”

Bai Xiaoxiao instructed the person, then walked with Meng Ke heading forward.

“Xiaoxiao!”

After taking just a couple of steps, they heard a familiar voice behind them.

Bai Xiaoxiao paused, her body freezing.

Beside her, Meng Ke seemed to immediately recognize the voice, his expression slightly changing, he glanced sideways at Bai Xiaoxiao before turning to look at the source of the voice.

A few meters behind, a tall and handsome figure was walking towards them in the sunlight.

The sculpted features of his face shone under the sun, giving off a golden glow, indescribably handsome and charming.

The most captivating thing was his smile.

His brows arched lightly, the corners of his mouth curved into a bewitching smile, and his enchanting eyes glimmered like gold, creating a breathtaking spectacle that left Bai Xiaoxiao momentarily stunned.

Meng Ke’s grip on the gift instinctively tightened.

Luo Haofeng approached them like an old friend, stopping in front of them, his playful eyes sweeping over Bai Xiaoxiao, finally settling on Meng Ke’s face.

“Boss Meng, long time no see.”

Meng Ke’s eyes flickered slightly.

Luo Haofeng actually greeted him first. He had thought Luo Haofeng would ignore him and start reminiscing with Bai Xiaoxiao.

Both hands occupied with gifts, he quickly shifted them to one hand, then reached out to shake hands with Luo Haofeng.

“This isn’t the place to talk; let’s chat as we walk.”

Luo Haofeng withdrew his hand, looking at Bai Xiaoxiao.

In his tone, eyes, and smile, he appeared like an old friend not seen in a long time.

There was none of the awkwardness of ex-lovers or the hostility of rivals.

Bai Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality, pulling up a smile, “Just now, Ranran mentioned you’re also stuck on this road. I didn’t expect you’d get out and walk.”
