Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1843: Chapter 1842: He Doesn’t Love You

Wen Ran accompanied Bai Xiaoxiao to Kangning Hospital, but they didn’t stay long there, because Mr. Bai called Bai Xiaoxiao asking if she would come home for dinner.

Bai Xiaoxiao had just returned from overseas, and there were many matters she hadn’t dealt with yet, so naturally she wanted to report to Mr. Bai, and then she went home.

At the dinner table, after listening to Bai Xiaoxiao’s account, both Mr. Bai and Mother Bai were equally shocked.

However, Mother Bai was the first to ask, “Xiaoxiao, is what you’re saying true?”

“Mom, it’s true, I went to the hospital to see Qing Yang, he told me personally.”

Mother Bai was full of anger, furiously saying, “I never thought Meng Ke would be such a despicable person, resorting to any means to this extent.”

“Xiaoxiao, now that you’ve returned, what about D Country?”

Mr. Bai also appeared angry but was much calmer than Mother Bai.

He realized Xiaoxiao’s words were not complete, or maybe Xiaoxiao had hidden some things and not spoken.

Bai Xiaoxiao was waiting for her father to ask this question. A flicker of hesitation crossed her eyes, and she lowered her gaze, saying gently, “Luo Haofeng got the news, feared I might be in trouble and rushed over. Initially, I wasn’t planning to return today, but he wasn’t assured, afraid Meng Ke might do something there, so he made me come back.”

Mother Bai, who was just angry, changed her expression slightly upon hearing Bai Xiaoxiao mention Luo Haofeng.

She did not act out, even though she disliked Luo Haofeng, understanding that Luo Haofeng was doing these things for Xiaoxiao.

Comparatively, Mother Bai felt deep guilt in her heart because her previous efforts to match Xiaoxiao with Meng Ke led to Meng Ke’s desperate attempt to win Xiaoxiao.

And the Luo Haofeng she had always opposed was the one protecting Bai Xiaoxiao everywhere.

Mr. Bai’s somber expression eased a bit, “So you’re saying the matters over there will be handled by Luo Haofeng?”

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, “Yes, Dad, Luo Haofeng said he would manage everything and come back.”

“Since he’s over there, things should remain controlled.”

Mr. Bai pondered for a while, “Xiaoxiao, you did the right thing by coming back, Meng Ke went to great lengths to deceive you into going to D Country, staying there would be very dangerous.”

Mother Bai’s face didn’t look good, but after a long while, she couldn’t help but bring up her inner doubts.

“Do Luo Haofeng’s parents know he’s gone to help you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated a little, blinking and responding blandly, “I don’t know.”

Her simple “I don’t know” made Mother Bai instantly realize that Luo Haofeng hadn’t informed his parents of their situation.

Mother Bai felt somewhat angry, but upon considering something, she suppressed her inner rage and merely said to Bai Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, be cautious these days. As long as Meng Ke is not caught, there’s always a lurking danger.”

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, “I understand.”

That night, Bai Xiaoxiao went to bed early.

The next morning, at the breakfast table, after breakfast, Mother Bai was sitting at the table waiting for Bai Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, you don’t need to go to the company today, we’re going to the hospital later.”

“Mom, I’ve had check-ups before, and did another one while abroad. Frequent examinations aren’t good for the baby.”

Bai Xiaoxiao certainly understood her mother’s intentions for calling her to the hospital; she’d be a fool to go along.

Mother Bai frowned, asking worriedly, “Why have another check-up abroad? Are you feeling unwell?”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, feeling a pang of guilt for deceiving her mother, quickly shaking her head to explain, “Mom, I felt a bit unwell then, so I went for a check-up, but the doctor said there’s nothing wrong.”

“No way, we’re going to the hospital later.”

Upon hearing that she felt unwell abroad and underwent a check-up, Mother Bai was immediately worried.

Although this baby is Luo Haofeng’s, and she disliked him, Xiaoxiao is her daughter, and Mother Bai didn’t want her daughter to suffer any harm.

She naturally didn’t want anything wrong with the baby in her belly, as miscarriages and such could significantly harm a woman’s health.

Therefore, she was willing to reluctantly convince herself to accept Luo Haofeng, rather than let Bai Xiaoxiao abort the child.

Beside them, Mr. Bai, who was quietly having breakfast, spoke up, “Since Xiaoxiao doesn’t want to go, don’t force her to get examined; frequent examinations aren’t good for the child.”

“What do you know?”

Mother Bai glared at Mr. Bai, displeased.

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed, “Mom, I know you’re doing this for my sake. How about this, if I ever feel unwell again, I’ll go to the hospital immediately.”

Mother Bai hesitated for a moment, then backed down a bit, retorting stubbornly, “Then don’t go to work for a few days, rest well at home.”

Mr. Bai’s earlier words had upset Mother Bai, and he quickly concurred, “Xiaoxiao, listen to your mom and rest at home for a few days; your dad can handle company matters.”

“Alright, I’d be happy to.”

Bai Xiaoxiao happily accepted, as long as her mother didn’t drag her to the hospital, she was not afraid.

In the morning, Bai Xiaoxiao received a call from the police station, saying Xu Wanqi wanted to see her.

Bai Xiaoxiao initially wanted to refuse, but after thinking it over, she agreed.

“Whose call was that?”

She hung up the phone, and Mother Bai, who was peeling fruit beside her, asked concernedly.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled, explaining, “Mom, it was a call from the police station, I’ll be back shortly.”

Mother Bai stopped her fruit-peeling, lifted her head, looking at Bai Xiaoxiao, “Was it Xu Wanqi wanting to see you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, “Yes, it was her; I’m going to see what she wants.”

“Why bother seeing her? She’s been involved in many of the things Meng Ke did.”

“Mom, maybe she could help the police catch Meng Ke sooner; I’m just going to meet her briefly, she can’t do anything to me, don’t worry!”

“Let the driver take you there.”

Mother Bai was not pleased but did not stop her.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, went upstairs to change clothes and had the driver take her to the police station.

After not seeing Xu Wanqi for some time, upon meeting again, Xu Wanqi lacked her former charm, looking very haggard.

She also looked much thinner.

Facing the radiant and charming Bai Xiaoxiao, a flash of jealousy appeared in Xu Wanqi’s eyes.

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t care, giving a light smile, faintly looking at Xu Wanqi, “What do you want to see me about?”

The more calm and composed she appeared, the more turbulent and envious Xu Wanqi felt, biting her lips hard, she coldly looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, “I’m pregnant with Meng Ke’s child.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, then amusement as she looked at Xu Wanqi.

“You brought me here just to tell me this?”

Xu Wanqi stubbornly lifted her chin, her gaze towards Bai Xiaoxiao filled with jealousy, resentment, and pride

among many other emotions.

Bai Xiaoxiao found it very amusing; she couldn’t believe Xu Wanqi still saw her as a rival.

“Bai Xiaoxiao, even if Meng Ke went to great lengths to make you be with him, it was never out of love for you.”
