Chapter 1818: Chapter 1817: Where Xiaoxiao Is, That’s Home
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, “No, he volunteered to help.”
“I see.”
Luo Haofeng smiled slightly, no longer pressing further.
Xiao Yuting arrived earlier than Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao, and saw from a distance that he was standing in front of the car.
His slender fingertips held a cigarette, watching Luo Haofeng’s car come to a stop before him.
Xiao Yuting took the last puff and threw the remaining half of the cigarette into a nearby trash can.
“Xiaoxiao.”
He approached in two steps, smiling as he called out to Bai Xiaoxiao, who was getting out of the car.
Bai Xiaoxiao apologized with a smile, “Did you wait long?”
In the driver’s seat, Luo Haofeng opened the car door and got out, greeting Xiao Yuting, “Sorry, President Xiao, for making you wait.”
Xiao Yuting looked at Luo Haofeng with a faint smile, “I thought someone as busy as President Luo wouldn’t come to G City more than a few times a year. But unexpectedly, President Luo seems to be visiting G City every other day.”
Luo Haofeng smiled nonchalantly, “In my heart, wherever Xiaoxiao is, is where my home is.”
Xiao Yuting’s expression changed slightly; this guy is too arrogant.
Does he really think that just because he’s getting benefits, he wouldn’t dare tell Xiaoxiao’s mom?
Luo Haofeng’s handsome brows raised slightly, with an expression suggesting that if he dared to tell Xiaoxiao’s mom, he wouldn’t let him off easily.
This made Xiao Yuting extremely annoyed. He gave him a glare and said to Bai Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, I’ll walk you to the door.”
Having said that, he deliberately cast a provoking glance at Luo Haofeng.
I can go in; do you dare to go to Xiaoxiao’s house?
Luo Haofeng returned a smile; I will eventually go, when I do, it won’t be the same as your current status.
Sensing the peculiar air between the two men, Bai Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said to Luo Haofeng, “You should hurry home now.”
Then she added to Xiao Yuting, “Let’s go. If my parents are still awake, you can have a cup of tea.”

Suburban villa
When Mo Xiuchen got home, Wen Ran hadn’t gone to sleep yet.
In the warmly lit master bedroom, a lively and funny variety show was playing.
Wen Ran lay alone on the sofa, hugging a soft pillow, watching the program and laughing.
Upon hearing the door open, she quickly turned to look and saw Mo Xiuchen walk in from outside. She tenderly called out, “Mo Xiuchen.”
Then she put down the pillow and got up to greet him.
“Why aren’t you wearing shoes? Are your feet cold?”
Mo Xiuchen’s gaze swept over her bare feet, his deep eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and affection. His long fingers reached out to her forehead, brushing aside the strands of hair in front of it.
Wen Ran shook her head with a smile, “The carpet is so warm, how could it be cold.”
She liked walking barefoot on the carpet, as it was soft and quiet.
“Why aren’t you asleep?”
Mo Xiuchen took her by the hand to the sofa and picked up the remote to turn off the TV, then leaned down to pick her up directly.
Wen Ran giggled in his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, her body exuding a fresh post-shower scent, coupled with her breath as fragrant as orchid blossoms, sending Mo Xiuchen’s mind into a slight intoxicating reverie.
“I couldn’t sleep because I wasn’t at ease without you coming back.”
Mo Xiuchen smiled indulgently, walked to the bed, put her down gently on the soft large bed, and pulled up the blanket to cover her, “Did you take your medicine?”
Mentioning the medicine made Wen Ran frown, “I did, but it’s so bitter.”
“How about, starting tomorrow, I take it with you.”
Mo Xiuchen sat down on the edge of the bed, his slightly rough palm gently stroking her fair cheek.
Wen Ran shook her head, placed her small hand over his palm, and moved his hand away from her face, “Even if you take that medicine with me, it won’t taste any sweeter, so forget it!”
This wasn’t the first time Mo Xiuchen had said such things.
Ever since last winter, when she started taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate her health, Mo Xiuchen had proposed accompanying her for the treatment.
Just like before, when he took medicine.
But Wen Ran refused him.
She couldn’t bear to let him suffer the bitterness. Looking at Mo Xiuchen’s handsome face, Wen Ran changed the subject and asked, “Did Xiao Yuting say anything?”
“Since he’s benefited, what else could he say? Xiao Yuting isn’t a fool, he knows the one Xiaoxiao loves in her heart is Ah Feng, not him. He also knows that Xiaoxiao is not someone who can be easily threatened. If he really threatens Xiaoxiao, then they won’t even be able to remain friends.”
Wen Ran blinked, “So, Xiao Yuting is just trying to gain as much benefit as possible?”
Mo Xiuchen said with a smile, “Besides benefits, there’s also the debt of gratitude from Ah Feng and Bai Xiaoxiao, which is not so easily repaid as monetary debt.”
Including Xiao Yuting’s visit to Xu Wanfei, making her tell the truth, was the same.
Xiao Yuting, like Meng Ke, initially had no contact with Mo Xiuchen’s group.
Now that he had this opportunity to connect with Mo Xiuchen, Gu Kai, Wen Jin, and others, becoming one of their own.
Throughout Xiao Yuting’s life, Xiao’s company would never face any problems.
One must say, Xiao Yuting is indeed a smart person.
At least he’s smarter than Meng Ke.
It’s said that since the Chinese New Year, Meng Ke’s travel agency business has slowed down.
“Whatever he wants, as long as it doesn’t ruin Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng’s relationship, it’s fine.”
The two of them were already going through so many difficulties, if Xiao Yuting were to disrupt them, it would only make things harder.
Mo Xiuchen agreed with a nod, “Rest assured, Xiao Yuting won’t dare to fall out, nor would he be foolish enough to do so.”

Some apartment in G City.
Meng Ke entertained himself until late, then came to Xu Wanqi’s apartment.
After a round of passion, he hugged Xu Wanqi, asking, “Did you warn Xu Wanfei?”
Xu Wanqi touched Meng Ke’s chest, gazing at him irresistibly and with a soft, seductive voice, “I had the lawyer warn her; she won’t dare speak nonsense.”
“Tonight, when I met with Director Wei, it seemed like someone was following me.”
As Meng Ke said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, beneath the light, his fairly handsome face was shadowed by gloom.
Xu Wanqi widened her eyes in astonishment, “Following you, who was it?”
“Don’t know, but I’m sure someone was following, and I managed to shake them off.”
“Could it be that the police have found out something?” Xu Wanqi immediately became anxious.
Meng Ke pondered, “If the police suspect something or have found anything, it must be related to the Qing Yang incident. I’m planning to advance my plan to go abroad, and Xu Wanfei must not be given any chance to speak.”
In other aspects, Meng Ke hadn’t received any information suggesting someone had betrayed him.
The only possibility was the Qing Yang incident, which aroused suspicion from Mo Xiuchen and the police.
“Regarding the incident with Qiao Xiuyun last time, I thought Bai Xiaoxiao’s attitude towards you was quite strange.” Xu Wanqi said coldly, “You saved Qiao Xiuyun, Bai Xiaoxiao should be grateful to you, but she didn’t show an ounce of gratitude.”
At the mention of Bai Xiaoxiao, Meng Ke’s expression changed again. He spent so much time on Bai Xiaoxiao, how could he be willing to hand her over to another man?
“I’m planning to go abroad within the next half month.”
