Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1676: Chapter 1675: Did You Call Me Last Night?

G City.

It seems like Meng Ke enjoys showing up at Bai Xiaoxiao’s house early in the morning.

This is not the first time.

He had breakfast at Bai Xiaoxiao’s house and then took her to work.

Then he headed to the travel agency.

As the car pulled up below Bai Xiaoxiao’s company, before Bai Xiaoxiao got out, Meng Ke smiled and said, “Xiaoxiao, let’s have lunch together, I’ll pick you up.”

“Aren’t you going on a business trip today?”

Bai Xiaoxiao blinked and asked with a smile.

Meng Ke also smiled.

He shook his head and said, “No business trip, I decided to send someone else. It’s been so hard for you to come back to the country, I can’t be going on business trips all the time after you return. That wouldn’t be very qualified of me.”

“Going on business trips is work, why would it be unqualified?”

“Of course, it would be unqualified, that’d make me not a qualified boyfriend. Xiaoxiao, we were separated by the Pacific Ocean before, and now you’re by my side. I don’t want certain people to take advantage of that.”

“What do you mean by taking advantage?”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, looking at Meng Ke with confusion.

She wondered if Xiao Yuting had told him about her having dinner at his house last night, causing him to have some thoughts.

Since Meng Ke said that last night, Bai Xiaoxiao’s mind had been led astray, thinking it was really Xiao Yuting who called.

“Xiaoxiao, don’t worry.”

Meng Ke smiled and gently explained, “You’re so beautiful and outstanding, many men dream of being your boyfriend. I must spend more time with you, be there for you, so you don’t get taken away.”

“You’re overthinking, I’m not that good, nor are there so many people wanting to take me away as you say.”

Meng Ke didn’t say anything, just smiled, got out of the car, walked around the front, and opened the car door for her.

Bai Xiaoxiao got out of the car, told him to ‘drive safely’, and then left.

Meng Ke stood in front of the car, and didn’t turn away until he saw Bai Xiaoxiao enter the company building, then he got back in the car, started the engine, and left.

Bai Xiaoxiao arrived at the office, turned on her computer, hesitating whether to call Xiao Yuting and ask why he was so talkative.

But then her phone rang first.

She pulled out her phone, and when she saw the caller ID, her heart skipped a beat.

It was a call from Luo Haofeng.

The three letters flashed a bit glaringly.

Bai Xiaoxiao recalled the call she made to Luo Haofeng last night after Qiao Siyi called her.

It was Siyi who answered.

Now that he was calling, Siyi must have returned the phone to him.

At this time, he must have just arrived at the company, right.

Her heart rate intensified as the ringtone kept ringing, growing faster.

She pursed her lips tightly, about to press the answer button when there was a knock at the door outside.

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned and said, “Come in.”

A man came in, holding a bouquet of flowers.

“Miss Bai, here are your flowers, please sign for them.”

A flash of surprise appeared in Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes as she looked at the man delivering the flowers, “Who are the flowers from?”

“Miss Bai, a gentleman ordered them, please sign for them.”

The man said, bringing the flowers to her desk. After Bai Xiaoxiao signed for them, he left.

The phone finally stopped ringing on its own.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the little card on the bouquet, the signature was Meng Ke.

It was a bright red bouquet of roses, yet Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t feel any excitement or thrill over receiving such a large bouquet of red roses.

Instead, she felt a bit lost inside.

Because she missed that call, which just ended on its own.

The assistant knocked twice on the door, poked her head in, and smiled brightly at Bai Xiaoxiao, “Manager, do you need help arranging the flowers?”

Bai Xiaoxiao gave her a side glance, “Go back to work properly, don’t gossip.”

“Hehe, Manager, did Mr. Meng send you the flowers?”

“If you gossip one more sentence, one hour’s wage will be deducted.”

That sentence was most effective.

As soon as Bai Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the assistant didn’t linger for even a second, immediately pulled her head back in, and closed the door for her.

Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but smile.

She put the flowers in the vase, placed them on the coffee table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the aroma of roses filling the room was almost dizzying.

The phone on the desk buzzed and vibrated.

Standing by the coffee table, Bai Xiaoxiao shivered slightly, turned to look at the phone on the desk, and then quickly stepped back to the desk.

The call was from Meng Ke.

“Xiaoxiao, did you receive the flowers, do you like them?”

“Why are you wasting money on flowers?”

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t answer but instead posed a question. From the other end of the phone came Meng Ke’s deep and joyful laughter, “It’s not a waste, I just want to learn a bit of romance. But I’m not inherently a romantic person, I don’t know what to give that you would like and wouldn’t reject, so I could only send flowers.”

It seems that the refusal of Meng Ke’s gift by Bai Xiaoxiao last time has cast a shadow in his heart.

“Don’t send them next time.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s gaze fell on the rose petals on the coffee table, the scent of roses lingering around her.

“Xiaoxiao, don’t you like roses?”

“No, I just don’t want to become the talk of the entire company.”

Bai Xiaoxiao teased, then said, “You’re not at the travel agency yet, are you? Alright, I won’t keep you, focus on driving.”

“Just now at the traffic light, alright, bye-bye.”

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaoxiao stared at her phone for a while longer, the more she hoped it would ring, the more it didn’t ring.

Frustrated, she tossed the phone into the drawer.

Sitting up straight, she began to work.

She worked for an hour, and when she stopped to drink water, intending to take a short break, someone from a thousand miles away seemed to know and called.

The phone she had thrown into the drawer earlier.

The sound was muffled and whiny, as if it were very aggrieved, coming from the drawer.

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t immediately open the drawer to get the phone, she leisurely drank the water, screwed the cap back on, placed it back on the desk, and then lowered her head to open the drawer.

The letters LHF flashed on the screen, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t control her heartbeat, there was a moment of suffocation.

This time, she didn’t wait for the phone to stop ringing.

She took out the phone and pressed the answer button, “Hello.”

“Xiaoxiao.”

A gentle call, transmitted across the airwaves, came from a thousand miles away in City B.

Bai Xiaoxiao felt her heart pound hard, the sound resonating in her ears, gently rippling her heart.

“…”

She pursed her lips and didn’t speak.

The person on the other end of the phone wasn’t in a rush to speak either, after a few seconds of silence, Luo Haofeng’s deep voice sounded again, “Xiaoxiao, did you call me last night?”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart trembled again!

She had asked Qiao Siyi not to tell him last night.

But she also knew, Qiao Siyi being Luo Haofeng’s secretary, wouldn’t listen to her.

Luo Haofeng still found out, and he had called once in the morning, she didn’t answer, he didn’t know why he didn’t call again.

“Well, I heard your girlfriend is going to work at your company, congratulations.”

Bai Xiaoxiao tugged at the corner of her mouth to smile, trying to keep her voice sounding cheerful.
