Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1715: Chapter 1714: He’s Taking a Shower in the Bathroom Now

Bai Xiaoxiao’s heartbeat paused for a second because of Xiao Yuting’s words.

Even though she knew he was definitely asking about Luo Haofeng,

it still made her frown when Xiao Yuting asked such a direct question.

“That’s my private matter, I don’t think it’s necessary to report it to you, right? If you have nothing else to say, just go back to your room and sleep.”

“Xiaoxiao, good night.”

Xiao Yuting had a tendency for self-torture.

Despite Bai Xiaoxiao’s clearly displeased tone, he laughed, and his laughter was relieved and satisfied.

Not only did he stop asking questions, he obediently returned to his room.

After closing the door, Bai Xiaoxiao lay down on the bed but didn’t fall asleep immediately. Instead, she dialed Wen Ran’s number.

Since Xiao Yuting told her that Mo Xiuchen called him, that meant Mo Xiuchen was looking for her.

In other words, it was Ranran who was looking for her.

The phone rang a few times, and the voice that came through was not Wen Ran’s but Mo Xiuchen’s.

“Mo Xiuchen, where’s Ranran?”

“Ranran just fell asleep.”

Mo Xiuchen’s deep voice carried a touch of affection for Wen Ran. Before Bai Xiaoxiao could ask, he continued, “Meng Ke called Ranran tonight to ask if she knew your phone was off.”

“Then, what did Ranran say?”

Bai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and asked softly.

“Ranran said you and she were talking on the phone until your battery died, and you might be charging it at the hotel, not carrying it with you.”

Hearing Mo Xiuchen’s words, Bai Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

She thanked Mo Xiuchen and hung up the phone.

She was hesitating whether to call Meng Ke back now, but her phone beeped just then.

It was the sound of a message.

From an unfamiliar number, Bai Xiaoxiao frowned and opened the message.

Seeing the content, she couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. What was the point of Xu Wanqi sending such a message?

No words.

Just photos.

Photos of Meng Ke dining with her, watching the snow together.

Five or six photos in total, and all were candid shots, not taken by Xu Wanqi but by someone else for them.

The identity of this person taking photos for them was worth investigating.

After looking through the photos, Bai Xiaoxiao dialed Meng Ke’s number.

She wanted to know whether Meng Ke was still with Xu Wanqi so late at night.

Maybe because she didn’t love him, even after seeing the photos of Meng Ke and Xu Wanqi together, she didn’t feel particularly upset.

It wasn’t as uncomfortable as seeing Luo Haofeng and Tian Ruoyi laughing and talking today.

The phone rang twice before it was answered.

The voice coming through surprised Bai Xiaoxiao.

They were indeed still together.

It was already past eleven, and in such a season, unlike summer, eleven was very late.

Xu Wanqi’s voice had a hint of coldness and sharpness as she said, “Bai Xiaoxiao, are you looking for Senior?”

“Where is he? He wouldn’t have gone home with you, would he?”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s brow furrowed, and she sat up straight against the headboard.

“Bai Xiaoxiao, are you stalking us? Otherwise, how would you know Senior is at my house? Since you called, I’ll tell you the truth. Senior is in the shower.”

After saying that, Xu Wanqi laughed smugly.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression changed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a slight noise on the other end, like a door opening, followed by another woman’s voice, “Miss Xu, it’s time to infuse…”

The call was suddenly disconnected.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the call duration, recalling the words: Miss Xu, it’s time to infuse…

Time to infuse what?

The other person called her Miss Xu.

At least Xu Wanqi’s claim that Meng Ke was at her house didn’t hold water.

Could it be that the person was telling her it was time for an IV drip?

If so, that meant they were in the hospital.

**

Bai Xiaoxiao was not wrong.

Xu Wanqi and Meng Ke were indeed in the hospital.

Tonight, before leaving the travel agency, Xu Wanqi had one last meal with Meng Ke.

After they finished eating, Xu Wanqi said she didn’t want to go home and asked Meng Ke to take a walk with her, as she had something to say.

Thinking of how she had once saved him, Meng Ke didn’t refuse.

The accident happened while they were walking.

Like a replay of past events, it was especially cold tonight because of the snow, and there were few pedestrians on the street. As Xu Wanqi and Meng Ke walked, an unlicensed car suddenly stopped in front of them.

About ten men got out of the car, clearly looking like thugs.

…

Xu Wanqi once again shielded Meng Ke from a knife stab, this time on her right arm.

Her left arm, previously injured in Country M, had not fully healed, and now her right arm was cut, the wound was deep.

At this moment, Xu Wanqi was staying in a private ward at Kangning Hospital.

Meng Ke had gone to buy her some fruit. Before he left, she said her phone was out of battery and borrowed Meng Ke’s phone to make a call, which resulted in her answering Bai Xiaoxiao’s call for him.

Xu Wanqi looked coldly at the nurse who entered, her face darkening, and said nothing.

The nurse, unaware of the situation, walked to the bedside, hung up the medication, and Xu Wanqi quickly deleted Bai Xiaoxiao’s call record.

The nurse left after setting up the IV, and Meng Ke returned to the ward with fruit, accompanied by Xu Wanfei.

“Wanqi, how did you get hurt? Who did this to you?”

Xu Wanfei rushed to the bedside, bent down, and held Xu Wanqi’s uninjured hand, asking urgently.

Xu Wanqi looked up at Meng Ke and said lightly, “Cousin, it was just a few thugs, maybe they mistook me for someone else.”

“Mistaken identity? How is that possible?”

Xu Wanfei frowned, looked up at Meng Ke, and angrily questioned, “Meng Ke, is this trouble you caused? You’re about to drive Wanqi away, how can you still involve her?”

Meng Ke’s expression changed, his handsome eyebrows furrowed, just as he was about to speak, Xu Wanqi preempted him, “Cousin, you’re wronging Senior, it’s not his fault.”

“Wanqi, you’re just too naive. You shielded him from a knife back then, how did he promise you, but now? He still wants to cast you aside. Tell me honestly, did tonight’s incident have anything to do with him?”

Xu Wanfei seemed intent on standing up for Xu Wanqi.

It was as if if the incident had anything to do with Meng Ke, she would make sure Meng Ke was responsible for Xu Wanqi for life.

“Cousin, it really wasn’t Senior’s fault. If he hadn’t been there tonight, you might not have seen me again.”

Xu Wanqi spoke, her eyes filled with deep sorrow.

Xu Wanfei’s brows furrowed even more, “What exactly happened? Did someone come looking for you? You’ve never offended anyone, how could this happen?”

“I don’t know either, they just asked if I was Xu Wanqi, and then…”

Xu Wanqi didn’t finish her sentence.

Her eyes reddened, filled with grievance.

“Meng Ke, Wanqi was with you tonight. She doesn’t know what happened, but do you? Do you not know either?”

Xu Wanfei questioned Meng Ke again.
