Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1763: Chapter 1762: Reminder

Wen Ran’s eyes fell gently.

Her long eyelashes hid the surprise in her eyes; she still couldn’t believe it.

Qing Yang’s injury made her unable to stop her wild imagination.

If Qing Yang’s injury is related to Meng Ke, then...

”Xiuchen, no matter how Qing Yang got hurt, I must tell Xiaoxiao about it.”

After hesitating, Wen Ran raised her eyes with determination and looked at Mo Xiuchen.

Mo Xiuchen nodded gently and said warmly, ”Originally, I planned to wait for Qing Yang to return and give Xiaoxiao the photos he took. But now, Qing Yang’s injuries are severe, and we don’t know when he will wake up. It’s good for you to inform Xiaoxiao.”

”I’ll call Xiaoxiao now.” Wen Ran said, immediately pulling out her phone to dial Bai Xiaoxiao’s number.

It’s still working hours at the moment.

The phone rang several times before Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice came through, light and cheerful, with a touch of laughter: ”Hello, Ranran.”

”Xiaoxiao, can you get off work now?”

”What’s happening? Is something wrong? There’s only half an hour left until I get off.” Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice carried a hint of doubt.

Wen Ran chuckled, ”Of course, there’s something important. Would I dare disturb you, the busy bee, for nothing?”

”Where do you want me to meet you?”

”Come to my house; I’m at home now.” Wen Ran said, glancing at Mo Xiuchen beside her.

Mo Xiuchen smiled tenderly at her, gently stroking the skin on the back of her delicate hand.

Over the phone, Xiaoxiao agreed and hung up without more discussion.

”Xiuchen, Xiaoxiao will be here soon.”

”Okay.”

Mo Xiuchen stayed with Wen Ran for a while longer and watched her eat bird’s nest. When Bai Xiaoxiao arrived, he went upstairs to the study.

”Ranran, what’s so urgent? You called me even before I got off work.”

”There’s something very important to discuss with you.”

Hearing Wen Ran’s words, the smile on Bai Xiaoxiao’s face faded, and a hint of inquiry appeared in her eyes.

Pretending to be startled, ”Ranran, don’t be so serious; you’ll scare me.”

Wen Ran frowned slightly, contemplating how to start the conversation.

The most crucial aspect is that they don’t fully understand why Qing Yang got injured, and even Tang Yang is merely guessing.

”Xiaoxiao, did you know Meng Ke went on a business trip with Xu Wanqi?”

Wen Ran slightly relaxed her expression and asked in a gentle tone.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s investigating gaze was immediately replaced by a smile, ”I thought you were going to say something serious; turns out it’s about Meng Ke’s business trip.”

”You knew?”

Bai Xiaoxiao shrugged, ”I don’t know. He only told me that morning he was going on a business trip, but didn’t mention taking Xu Wanqi. Last night, he called and said he’d stay abroad for some time and couldn’t come back yet.”

”Meng Ke called you last night?”

Wen Ran’s eyes changed slightly, and she fixed her gaze on Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao blinked, ”Yes, he called me last night; he didn’t mention being with Xu Wanqi.”

”Xiaoxiao, what did Meng Ke tell you?”

”What’s wrong, Ranran?”

Bai Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly in return.

Wen Ran pursed her lips and said softly, ”The morning Meng Ke went on a business trip, Qing Yang happened to be at the airport and saw him with Xu Wanqi. They appeared close. Xiuchen then let Qing Yang follow them overseas, but this morning, Qing Yang was sent back.”

”Ranran, what do you mean by sent back?”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed, showing worry.

Qing Yang wasn’t coming back by himself but was sent back.

Wen Ran sighed lightly, ”Qing Yang was attacked abroad, shot, and it happened Tang Yang encountered him. However, no one knows when he will wake up.”

”...”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned slightly pale.

She could hardly believe Wen Ran’s words; Qing Yang was shot—was it a coincidence or...?

”Xiaoxiao, before Qing Yang wakes up, none of us know the truth. I’m telling you because Qing Yang went abroad with Meng Ke. But he’s now injured, which could be unrelated to Meng Ke, or it might be.”

Bai Xiaoxiao fell into silence.

There was a moment of quiet in the living room.

Wen Ran simply watched Bai Xiaoxiao quietly.

”Ranran, is the person who sent Qing Yang back still around?”

”He’s Qin Mu’s friend and is at Qin Mu’s house now.”

”I want to meet him.”

Bai Xiaoxiao said softly after pursing her lips.

Wen Ran agreed with a ”Okay” and glanced toward the second floor, ”I’ll go with you.”

In the evening, just as Bai Xiaoxiao finished her bath and lay down, her mother knocked and entered the room.

”Xiaoxiao, drink this glass of milk.”

Mother Bai said as she brought the milk to the bedside.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and took the milk from her mother, ”Mom, thank you.”

”Since when do you suddenly thank mother?”

Mother Bai gave Bai Xiaoxiao a mock stern look, sitting on the edge of the bed, watching her drink the milk with gentle eyes.

After Bai Xiaoxiao finished the milk, Mother Bai took the glass and placed it on the bedside table, casually asking, ”Xiaoxiao, your dad said you went to see Ranran before ending your shift. Was there something up with Ranran?”

”It wasn’t a big deal; one of Ranran’s bodyguards got hurt.”

Bai Xiaoxiao cozily leaned back against the headboard, noticing the inquiry in her mother’s eyes and replied nonchalantly.

Mother Bai’s face showed a hint of confusion, ”Ranran’s bodyguard was injured?”

Why would Wen Ran call Xiaoxiao because a bodyguard was hurt?

Mother Bai actually thought Xiaoxiao being summoned by Wen Ran might be related to Luo Haofeng.

So, she was particularly concerned.

Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brow slightly, hesitating whether to tell her mother.

Given the uncertainty, she thought it better not to mention it yet.

She had known Meng Ke for years, and even though they hadn’t spent much time together, he never seemed like someone engaged in illegal activities.

”Yes, apparently he was injured on a business trip. When I went to Ranran’s house, it wasn’t just because Qing Yang was hurt; Ziyi was looking for me.”

”Speaking of Ziyi, I haven’t seen him in a while.”

Mother Bai’s face brightened with a smile, showing how adored Ziyi is.

Bai Xiaoxiao also smiled, ”Mom, you don’t know how smart and adorable Ziyi is. He’s already begun earning money on his own.”

”Really, how does Ziyi make money being so little?”

”By acting in advertisements; he took on Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory’s ad and asked me if there’s any work I could introduce him to to earn money.”

Bai Xiaoxiao switched the topic to Ziyi, successfully diverting Mother Bai’s attention.

They chatted for half an hour before Mother Bai reminded Bai Xiaoxiao to sleep and left with the milk glass.

Time passed quickly—it was soon nearing the end of the year.

On the day Meng Ke returned from his trip was Bai Xiaoxiao’s company’s annual meeting.

He made calls, which she didn’t answer, and in the end, Meng Ke showed up at her doorstep.
