Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1810: Chapter 1809: Gloating

Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled and shook her head, “I’m not a worm in your stomach, how would I know?”

“Xiaoxiao, I’m trying to help you. Shouldn’t you think about whether there’s something you need my help with?”

Xiao Yuting looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with a disappointed expression, as if not remembering his help was letting him down.

“I still don’t know.”

Bai Xiaoxiao looked innocently at Xiao Yuting.

Xiao Yuting frowned, glared at her unpleasantly, and sat up straight to fasten his seat belt.

Seeing him start the car silently, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but smile and turned to look out the window.

Once the car was on the road, Xiao Yuting ignored Bai Xiaoxiao and focused on driving.

As if giving her time to think, he seemed intent on making her remember what help he’d provided her.

“You came from the police station.”

A few minutes later, Bai Xiaoxiao broke the silence, casually asking Xiao Yuting.

Xiao Yuting turned to her, raising an eyebrow, “Keep guessing.”

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed softly, “You went to see Xu Wanfei. Did she say something to you?”

“Seems like you haven’t completely lost your head over Luo Haofeng.”

Xiao Yuting chuckled.

But Bai Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, “You think I’m like you, easily smitten by women.”

“Xiaoxiao, I didn’t say you’re smitten by women. I meant you’ve lost your senses over Luo Haofeng. I’m telling you, I know your aunt hasn’t been talking to you for days.”

Finishing his words, Xiao Yuting smiled triumphantly.

He was thrilled, eagerly awaiting Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng’s fallout.

If he could get rid of Meng Ke and Luo Haofeng, he’d have a chance.

After all, Xiaoxiao was meant for him; they were promised to each other since birth.

He’d mistakenly confused pearls with fish eyes in the past, but now he had realized his error and liked Bai Xiaoxiao, wanting to spend his life with her.

Of course, he hoped Bai Xiaoxiao would break up with Luo Haofeng and return to him.

Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, “How do you know that?”

Xiao Yuting was amused by her, “Xiaoxiao, I’m very concerned about you. I know everything about you clearly.”

The red light ahead, he stopped the car and turned to look at Xiaoxiao.

Seeing her pressing her lips, her face angry, Xiao Yuting’s eyes were filled with laughter; Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression showed her worry over the conflict with her mother.

It made Xiao Yuting very pleased.

“Did my mom tell you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes were sharp as she looked at Xiao Yuting as if trying to see through him.

Her mom’s refusal to speak with her these days had really bothered her.

But Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t want others to know about it.

Xiao Yuting raised a handsome eyebrow, smiling at Bai Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, I think you should break up with Luo Haofeng.”

Bai Xiaoxiao pressed her lips tighter, glaring coldly at Xiao Yuting without speaking.

Xiao Yuting wasn’t bothered by her cold rejection; he maintained his charming smile, confident that neither in appearance nor talent would he lose to Luo Haofeng.

“Hurting Aunt’s feelings like this will make her very sad…”

“Enough, drive.”

The red light turned to green, and Bai Xiaoxiao interrupted Xiao Yuting, coldly urging him.

Xiao Yuting smiled and obediently continued driving.

He took Bai Xiaoxiao to an elegantly furnished western restaurant.

To Bai Xiaoxiao’s surprise, Xiao Yuting had booked the entire floor, with no other guests around.

The lobby was quiet, though there was a violinist, but it couldn’t compete with the feeling of a crowded dining area.

“What are you doing, too much money to spend?”

After ordering and the waiter left, Bai Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Yuting.

Xiao Yuting smiled, “I said you invited me tonight, so all expenses should be covered by you.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression changed, “No way, you haven’t even said what you helped me with. Why should I treat you to dinner? To step back, even if I did invite you, shouldn’t the guest abide by the host’s arrangements?”

But as things stood, he made his own decisions and booked the whole floor, leaving her to pick up the tab.

Xiao Yuting laughed happily, “Xiaoxiao, don’t you think it’s easy for us to talk with just the two of us, and this feeling is so nice?”

“Not at all.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression sank, her tone cold and stiff.

She’s not like Xiao Yuting, that corrupt fellow; even if she had money, she wouldn’t be this extravagant.

“It’s fine if you don’t feel that way. As long as I’m happy, since you invited me to dinner.”

Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao’s unhappy face, Xiao Yuting dared not continue talking nonsense, fearing she’d get angry and leave.

He smiled and explained, “I went to see Xu Wanfei this afternoon.”

Bai Xiaoxiao signaled with her eyes for him to continue.

“I offered her many benefits, but Xu Wanfei is a stubborn person. She said she doesn’t care about money; she’s only missing a man.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled, “Xu Wanfei wants to be your girlfriend again?”

Xiao Yuting snorted coldly, “That’s her daydreaming.”

If he’d wanted to be with Xu Wanfei, he wouldn’t have dumped her in the first place.

Bai Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue twice, “Since you didn’t agree to her request, that means she won’t grant your wish. So you tricked me into treating you to dinner tonight.”

“Xiaoxiao, how can you think of me that way? If I didn’t help, would I let you treat me? I’m not someone who lacks money to eat, resorting to scrounging.”

Xiao Yuting argued discontentedly.

“But you never got to the point, so I can’t blame myself for doubting you.”

The most crucial thing is, Xiaoxiao’s been in a bad mood lately and doesn’t want to dance around in circles with him.

Xiao Yuting seemed to understand her thoughts, changing expressions quickly, displaying a serious demeanor, “I told Xu Wanfei I’d think about it overnight, that way she’d believe me.”

“What did she say to you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, sharply gazing at Xiao Yuting.

Xu Wanfei must have said something to Xiao Yuting, or she wouldn’t randomly propose such a condition to him.

Xiao Yuting turned to see the waiter approaching with the plates.

After the waiter left, Xiao Yuting continued, “She said she’s under someone’s orders, but if I don’t agree to her condition, she won’t tell me who’s behind it.”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao’s brow furrowed tightly.

A chill gathered in her eyes.

Her expression suddenly turned cold, “She’s under Xu Wanqi’s orders.”

But Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t understand why Xu Wanqi would do something that would benefit herself in no way.

She loved Meng Ke so much, why would she want to break Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng up?

Xiao Yuting looked at Bai Xiaoxiao’s furrowed brow and hinted, “You women, sometimes for the sake of love, act like idiots.”
