Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1812: Chapter 1811: He Really Has Issues

After dinner, Xiao Yuting drove Bai Xiaoxiao home.

At her doorstep, after parking the car, Xiao Yuting brought up the earlier topic again, "Xiaoxiao, please consider my proposal carefully."

In the passenger seat, Bai Xiaoxiao frowned slightly at Xiao Yuting, "I don’t need to consider. I can answer you right now."

Earlier at the restaurant, Bai Xiaoxiao ignored Xiao Yuting.

But now, just as she was about to respond, Xiao Yuting reached out and covered her mouth, had Bai Xiaoxiao not dodged quickly.

Xiao Yuting’s hand would have covered her mouth.

"Xiaoxiao, there’s no need to answer me so quickly."

Xiao Yuting smiled awkwardly as he withdrew his hand.

Bai Xiaoxiao felt a bit irritated, she raised her hand to smooth her bangs and said, "Xiao Yuting, I only see you as a friend now, I won’t be as foolish as before."

Xiao Yuting’s expression changed slightly, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

But soon, the smile returned to his handsome face, and he spoke light-heartedly, "Xiaoxiao, your mind is just confused by Luo Haofeng for now, but over time, you’ll realize that neither Luo Haofeng nor Meng Ke are suitable for you. I’m the one who can be with you forever."

After he finished, Xiao Yuting opened the car door, walked around the car, and opened the door for Bai Xiaoxiao, smiling at her.

Bai Xiaoxiao got out of the car, and Xiao Yuting immediately urged her, "You should hurry home, don’t be out too late, your parents might worry."

"Thank you for dinner tonight."

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled at him, originally Xiao Yuting was supposed to let her treat him.

But in the end, Xiao Yuting insisted on paying, saying that once he truly helped her, she’d concede.

And then he’d properly extort a meal from her.

Xiao Yuting smiled and said, "No need to thank me, you’ll invite me back someday."

Returning home, she saw Mr. Bai sitting on the leather sofa in the living room.

Bai Xiaoxiao cheerfully walked over, called him Dad, and sat next to him, "Where’s Mom?"

"Your mom went upstairs to shower, and Yuting treated you to dinner?"

Mr. Bai smiled warmly and asked casually.

Bai Xiaoxiao slightly surprised looked at Mr. Bai, "Dad, did you see us?"

"I didn’t see you; your mom told me. Xiao Yuting called her to say you wouldn’t be home for dinner tonight and were with him."

Upon hearing Mr. Bai’s explanation, Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression changed slightly, her brow furrowed gently.

"Xiao Yuting called my mom?"

Why hadn’t Xiao Yuting mentioned it? What exactly was that guy trying to do?

Bai Xiaoxiao felt a bit uncomfortable; could Xiao Yuting really be trying to take advantage?

Mr. Bai nodded, "Yes, Xiao Yuting called your mom."

At this point, Mr. Bai hesitated slightly.

After a few seconds, he continued, "Xiaoxiao, your mom now has a good impression of Xiao Yuting. I don’t know when Xiao Yuting won over your mom."

Bai Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling, "What did Xiao Yuting say to my mom? Or what did my mom tell you?"

"Your mom said she was initially mistaken, almost allowing you to marry Meng Ke. Now it seems Xiao Yuting, someone she’s known all her life and grew up with you, is better."

Bai Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.

"Your mom won’t talk to you for a while, you don’t need to worry."

Mr. Bai saw Bai Xiaoxiao looking distressed and immediately reassured her.

Bai Xiaoxiao pouted, "Dad, how long is Mom going to give me the silent treatment?"

Mr. Bai chuckled, "Until you surrender."

"I won’t surrender, I’m thinking about winning her over with sincerity."

"It’s getting late, you should go upstairs, shower, and sleep. You have work tomorrow."

"By the way, Dad, Xiao Yuting mentioned to me tonight that Xu Wanfei negotiated terms with him, and if he agrees to her terms, she’ll tell him everything she knows."

As soon as Bai Xiaoxiao spoke, Mr. Bai sat up straight and looked directly at Bai Xiaoxiao, "What terms?"

They all knew Xu Wanfei was definitely taking the fall for someone or was being instructed by someone.

Even if she said she hated Bai Xiaoxiao, she gained nothing from these kidnappings.

How could she be so foolish to kidnap Bai Xiaoxiao’s mom?

If she hated Bai Xiaoxiao, wouldn’t it make more sense to kidnap Bai Xiaoxiao herself?

Bai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "Xiao Yuting used to be with Xu Wanfei; her condition is to return to him."

Mr. Bai frowned with difficulty, "If it were any other condition, it might be negotiable, but this one, Xiao Yuting can’t agree."

"But Xiao Yuting said as long as Xu Wanfei would tell the truth, he wouldn’t mind pretending to be a liar."

Bai Xiaoxiao had tried to persuade Xiao Yuting, but he wouldn’t listen.

"Xu Wanfei isn’t dumb; she’d have him write it down as evidence."

Suburban Villa

After showering, Mo Xiuchen had just stepped out of the bathroom when his phone rang.

Leaning against the headboard, Wen Ran asked him to pick it up, looked at it, and said gently, "Xiuchen, it’s Ah Mu calling."

"You answer it."

Mo Xiuchen smiled, drying his hair while walking to the dressing table.

Wen Ran pressed the answer key and put it on speaker.

Qin Mu’s voice came from the phone, "Ranran, is Xiuchen not around?"

"Xiuchen is drying his hair; he’ll be done soon."

Wen Ran spoke while showing the phone to Mo Xiuchen.

After finishing drying his hair, Mo Xiuchen slowly walked to the bed, took the phone, and sat down at the bedside, his large hand clasping Wen Ran’s small one.

"Ah Mu, what’s up?"

"Yang just called me, saying they found some information about Meng Ke in Country M, initially confirming he’s related to the biggest smuggling case he’s been investigating recently."

"Smuggling case?"

Mo Xiuchen was slightly surprised.

No wonder, last time Tang Yang brought Qing Yang back, he avoided and evaded his questions.

Meng Ke’s guts are really bold.

He actually dared to get involved in such things.

"Do you have evidence?"

"I’m not exactly sure. Yang just told me Meng Ke can’t escape responsibility. He’ll come back in a few days for more details."

"Got it."

This shows their initial guess was correct.

Meng Ke indeed has issues; they just didn’t know what kind.

Since Tang Yang made this call, it signifies he’s somewhat holding some evidence. Otherwise, he wouldn’t easily tell Qin Mu.

"He also spoke to Lu Zhiyan, so Meng Ke showing his true colors is only a matter of time."

Qin Mu explained over the phone, and as Mo Xiuchen listened, a cold smirk curved on his lips, "Originally, I thought we’d need Qing Yang to wake up for the truth to emerge. Didn’t expect Tang Yang to move so quickly. That’s good."

Meng Ke being caught would be revenge for Qing Yang.

But, who knows when Qing Yang will wake up.
