Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1809: Chapter 1808: Did You Forget to Take Your Medicine Today?

They all know, it’s Meng Ke.

But there’s no evidence.

This is really a frustrating issue.

”Ah Kai said that Meng Ke is being discharged tomorrow, maybe once he’s out, there will be a breakthrough.”

Mo Xiuchen means that Meng Ke hasn’t made any moves in the hospital because he knows there are cameras there.

It’s not that he hasn’t done anything at all; he’s been hiding in the bathroom making phone calls.

But once he’s out of the hospital, he might do something, go places, meet people...

In short, once he’s discharged, he’ll be more likely to leave traces for them to catch.

”There’s still no clue from Tang Yang?”

Luo Haofeng asked with a frown.

Mo Xiuchen shook his head and calmly said, ”All signs indicate Meng Ke has issues, we are just missing evidence. Once Tang Yang finds anything, he will notify us immediately.”

Because of that mysterious phone call, Bai Xiaoxiao behaved at home for a few days.

For several days in a row, she didn’t leave her mother’s side.

Adding Mr. Bai’s persuasion, even though Qiao Xiuyun still ignored Bai Xiaoxiao, she no longer forced her to make a choice.

On the seventh day of the New Year, Luo Haofeng returned to B City.

Knowing Xiaoxiao was inconvenient to take calls, he just sent her a message and did not call.

After Meng Ke was discharged, he stayed home for a few days before returning to work at the travel agency.

On the eighth day of the New Year, everyone started working again, the Spring Festival ended, and life returned to its busy fast-paced rhythm.

The kidnapping case involving Qiao Xiuyun has not been closed yet; investigations and evidence collation are ongoing.

The last time Xiao Yuting went to see Xu Wanfei, he couldn’t get her to talk.

But Xiao Yuting didn’t give up, and the afternoon before the Lantern Festival, he went to see Xu Wanfei again.

He happened to run into Xu Wanqi.

Seeing Xiao Yuting, Xu Wanqi was slightly surprised, and a flicker of doubt flashed in her eyes before she smiled and greeted him, ”President Xiao, are you here to see my cousin?”

Xiao Yuting smiled faintly, ”I did have a time with Wanfei, and now that she’s detained inside, I came to see if there’s anything I can help with.”

Upon hearing this, a trace of displeasure crossed Xu Wanqi’s mind.

She didn’t show it on her face, instead, maintained her smile, ”President Xiao is so sentimental and righteous, I thank you on behalf of my cousin first.”

Xiao Yuting laughed heartily and said indifferently, ”I’d prefer to hear her thank me personally.”

”By the way, Wanfei has a history of mental illness, so she won’t face legal prosecution, right?”

Xu Wanqi frowned slightly and said uncertainly, ”It’s not clear yet, they suspect my cousin’s mental illness history is fake and need further investigation.”

”These days have been tough for you, Wanfei is lucky to have such a good sister like you running around for her.”

Xu Wanqi smiled awkwardly, ”My cousin did wrong, and according to reason, she should face legal prosecution, but she has that kind of illness, sometimes she might do things not within her control.”

Xu Wanqi’s voice, carrying three parts sadness and two parts helplessness, made the listener inevitably feel that Xu Wanfei is really pitiful.

Even if she did something harmful.

It wasn’t her original intention.

Xiao Yuting knowingly nodded, ”Precisely because of this, I came to see if there’s anything that needs help. After all, Wanfei having that illness is partially my responsibility.”

According to the psychiatric record Xu Wanqi provided, Xu Wanfei was diagnosed months after her breakup with Xiao Yuting.

Xiao Yuting said this, and it seemed reasonable.

Xu Wanqi thanked him again and exchanged a couple of pleasantries before they each left.

After getting into the car, Xu Wanqi drove a little way, then stopped on the roadside and immediately dialed Meng Ke’s number.

The phone rang twice, and Meng Ke’s deep voice came through, ”Hello, Wanqi.”

Xu Wanqi nervously said, ”Senior, I ran into Xiao Yuting visiting my cousin.”

”Xiao Yuting went to see Xu Wanfei?” Meng Ke’s questioning voice came through.

Xu Wanqi pursed her lips and quietly explained, ”Yes, I just ran into him, he said he’s checking if there’s anything he can help with, Senior, Xiao Yuting is definitely trying to help Bai Xiaoxiao.”

”Did he visit her before?”

Meng Ke was silent for a moment, then spoke again, sounding a bit gloomy.

Xu Wanqi frowned, ”I don’t know either, I haven’t heard my cousin mention it, it should be the first time today.”

”Let the lawyer pass her a message later and tell Xu Wanfei that if she can’t keep her mouth shut, the consequences are not something she can bear.”

Even through the phone, Xu Wanqi could hear the malice in Meng Ke’s tone.

Her heart trembled slightly.

She hoped her cousin wouldn’t do anything foolish.

No matter what, she and Xu Wanfei are sisters; Xu Wanqi didn’t want her fate to be too terrible but was also afraid of Xu Wanfei betraying her.

”Senior, I understand, I’ll call the lawyer now.”

As Bai Xiaoxiao was about to leave work, her phone rang.

She took it out, seeing the caller ID, her eyes flickered, and she pressed the answer button, saying a bland ”Hello.”

”Xiaoxiao, are you free tonight? Treat me to a meal.”

The voice on the phone was Xiao Yuting’s.

Bai Xiaoxiao thought she heard wrong, she chuckled and asked, ”You’re calling me asking me to treat you to a meal, Xiao Yuting, you didn’t get it wrong, did you!”

Xiao Yuting laughed on the other end, ”Of course not, Xiaoxiao, I helped you with a big favor, letting you treat me to a meal is a small thing, in my opinion, you should offer yourself to me.”

”Did you forget to take your medicine today?”

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed and teased.

”I won’t need to take medicine anymore, hurry down, I’m waiting for you downstairs of your company.”

Xiao Yuting didn’t even say what he helped with, so domineeringly asked her to treat him, and hung up her phone in such a way.

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, her thoughts racing.

Thinking about what Xiao Yuting said, helping her with a big favor, what could it mean?

Suddenly, she thought of something, pressed her lips tightly, quickly packed up, wore her coat, grabbed her bag, and left the office.

Outside the company, Xiao Yuting’s tall figure leaned against the car.

In the dusk, his expression couldn’t be seen clearly.

Getting closer, Bai Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Yuting had a smile on his lips, and his beautiful eyes were filled with laughter.

When a few steps away, Xiao Yuting proactively greeted her, his voice bright and cheerful, ”Xiaoxiao, did you hesitate for a long time before coming down?”

”Why do you say that?”

Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at him, walked to the car, opened the door, and got in.

Xiao Yuting chuckled, opened the car door, sat in the driver’s seat, turned, and looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with a piercing gaze, as if trying to see through her thoughts.

Bai Xiaoxiao raised her brows, calmly meeting Xiao Yuting’s gaze.

Xiao Yuting lifted his wrist, speaking unhurriedly, ”From when I called you until now, it has been exactly fifteen minutes, enough time for you to think over everything from childhood till now, so, did you figure out what favor I helped you with?”
