Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1645: Chapter 1644: He’s So Smart

Meng Ke deeply regretted bringing up this topic just now.

Especially after hearing Luo Haofeng comforting Bai Xiaoxiao.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that as her boyfriend, he didn’t understand Bai Xiaoxiao as well as Luo Haofeng, her ex-boyfriend.

Seeing their exchange of glances, he even felt as if he was being excluded from their world.

He wanted to say something but couldn’t find the opportunity.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and said lightly, “Maybe it’s just a habit. It’s not that I’m deliberately avoiding interacting with others; I just don’t want to casually trust people anymore.”

Especially later when she was developing her company’s business.

In the business world, there were even fewer people she could trust.

Luo Haofeng also smiled, but there was now a hint of tenderness in his eyes that wasn’t there before, though it wasn’t particularly obvious.

“In a foreign land, you can’t trust others easily. It’s better to return home where there are at least family and friends.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s smile became radiant, and she nodded in agreement, “Yes, I also think home is better, at least I can eat my mom’s cooking every day.”

“By the way, Xiaoxiao, you should come to my house tomorrow. When I went to see you this morning, my mom reminded me to invite you over tomorrow. She wants to cook for you herself.”

Meng Ke didn’t want to keep listening to Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao’s conversation and interjected.

Bai Xiaoxiao appeared slightly surprised, “Aunt is going to cook herself?”

“Yeah, ever since you came to our house last week, my mom’s been thinking about you every day, asking me what dishes you like. She’s been cooking those few dishes these days.”

That implied that Madam Meng was very fond of Bai Xiaoxiao.

Luo Haofeng smiled and turned away, no longer joining in on their conversation.

Bai Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised by Meng Ke’s words, “How could you let Aunt work so hard? I was originally planning to go, but after what you said, I can’t go.”

As she spoke, Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head.

Meng Ke chuckled, naturally reaching out to hold Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand.

Bai Xiaoxiao instinctively wanted to pull away.

But thinking of something, when Meng Ke held her hand, she managed to endure and not move.

Her body just tensed slightly.

“Xiaoxiao, my mom has only met you once, and she already likes you a lot. Seems like if we get married in the future, she’ll forget I’m her son and only have eyes for you as her daughter-in-law.”

Meng Ke said, his eyes affectionately gazing at Bai Xiaoxiao.

In front, Luo Haofeng caught a glimpse of the two of them in the rearview mirror, feeling a sense of vague bitterness in some corner of his heart.

“Then I really can’t go, if Aunt ends up liking me more than you, you won’t hate me?”

Bai Xiaoxiao joked with a smile, taking the opportunity to pull her hand back and tuck her hair behind her ear.

In front, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran’s house came into view.

“It’s so much faster by car; if we had walked here, it might have been past one o’clock by now.”

Bai Xiaoxiao remarked as she looked out the car window.

In the yard, Wen Ran, An Lin, and Bai Yiyi stood up to greet them.

Qing Feng saw them and stopped the car at the gate.

“Xiaoxiao, how did you all run into each other?”

Wen Ran glanced at Luo Haofeng, who got out of the car, and opened the door for Bai Xiaoxiao.

“We met on the way.”

Bai Xiaoxiao replied with a smile as Meng Ke stepped out of the car with the gift.

Before Wen Ran could greet them, Luo Haofeng led Meng Ke into the villa like a host.

Wen Ran and the others watched Luo Haofeng and Meng Ke walk off together before turning to Bai Xiaoxiao and whispering, “Those two didn’t get into a fight, did they?”

“How could they?”

Bai Xiaoxiao glared at her, while Bai Yiyi and An Lin couldn’t help but laugh.

“Was it you who told Luo Haofeng that Meng Ke and I were walking?”

Bai Xiaoxiao thought of something and asked Wen Ran in a low voice.

Wen Ran chuckled, “No, I just told Qing Feng to pick him up and asked if he minded walking a bit. Who knew he’d be so smart to guess you wanted to walk.”

Behind them, the sound of a car engine could be heard.

A moment later, a taxi stopped in front of Wen Ran and the others.

Out of the car came not only Jing Xiaocha but also someone Wen Ran and the others didn’t know.

But the girl, seeing Bai Xiaoxiao, exclaimed joyfully, “Sister Xiaoxiao.”

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Li Shi Yao in surprise, wondering why she was here.

Jing Xiaocha frowned as she approached with a gift and greeted Wen Ran and the others, “Sister Wen… this is my classmate, Li Shi Yao…”

Before, when Li Shi Yao asked Jing Xiaocha out, it was Wen Ran who made the call.

Wen Ran was slightly surprised, looking at Li Shi Yao as she walked over.

“Sister Wen, can I call you that too? I heard it’s your baby’s birthday today, and I also heard my cousin and Sister Xiaoxiao were coming, so I pestered Xiaocha to bring me along.”

Li Shi Yao seemed to have a very cheerful personality.

She was exceptionally friendly for a first meeting, already calling Wen Ran ‘Sister Wen.’

Bai Yiyi and An Lin didn’t know what kind of person Li Shi Yao was, but hearing her mention ‘cousin’ and Bai Xiaoxiao, they guessed that her cousin must be Meng Ke.

“Let’s go inside and talk.”

Wen Ran smiled at Li Shi Yao and gestured for everyone to go in.

Li Shi Yao stepped forward and took Bai Xiaoxiao’s arm, “Sister Xiaoxiao, where’s my cousin? Didn’t he come with you?”

“He went inside ahead of us.”

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled, as Meng Ke had already been led into the living room by Luo Haofeng.

They were still at the doorway, so they couldn’t see.

Jing Xiaocha deliberately lagged a few steps behind and said apologetically to Wen Ran, “Sister Wen, I didn’t mean to bring Li Shi Yao along, but she insisted on coming when she heard that her cousin and Sister Bai were here.”

“It’s okay.”

Wen Ran patted Jing Xiaocha’s hand, indicating she needn’t feel guilty.

Adding one more person just meant another pair of chopsticks.

Before this, Meng Ke had no interaction with this group, but Li Shi Yao insisted on coming to celebrate her family’s baby’s birthday.

Wen Ran looked at Li Shi Yao walking ahead while chatting with Bai Xiaoxiao about her cousin.

What was her purpose for coming today?

Thinking about this, Wen Ran found it amusing. Whatever Li Shi Yao’s purpose was for coming today, it didn’t matter.

“Sister Wen, I’m going to play with those little ones.”

Inside the villa, seeing the kids playing games on the lawn from afar, Jing Xiaocha’s eyes lit up, her smile brightening her delicate face.

“Go ahead, they were just asking about you earlier.”

Wen Ran smiled gently as Jing Xiaocha handed her the gifts in her hands, “These are birthday gifts I bought for Ziyi, Momo, and Xin Xin. Sister Wen, please hold them for me.”

With that, she ran off.

Over there, Tongtong and Momo called out loudly, “Aunt Xiaocha!”

“Xiaocha is really a kid magnet.”

Bai Yiyi laughed as she watched Tongtong throw herself into Jing Xiaocha’s arms, followed by several other kids hugging her.

“In a couple of years, it’ll be even livelier.”

Wen Ran looked at Bai Yiyi and An Lin, speaking with implied meaning.
