Chapter 1826: Chapter 1825: We Can’t Keep This Child
Meng Ke glanced at the breakfast in her hand, smiled slightly, and got up from the sofa to walk towards her, “Not bad, it’s good news.”
“Oh, what good news?”
Meng Ke smiled but said nothing, walking into the dining room with her.
While eating breakfast, Xu Wanqi kept thinking about Meng Ke’s smile and the words he left unsaid just now.
She felt a little uneasy. These days, Meng Ke hadn’t mentioned Bai Xiaoxiao.
That day when he said he was going abroad, he only mentioned taking her and his family abroad.
And his parents had already left G City under the guise of a world tour, leaving only Xu Wanqi and Meng Ke now.
“Senior, are we going to Bali Island first?”
Xu Wanqi asked seemingly inadvertently while chewing her food, her bright eyes looking at Meng Ke.
Meng Ke nodded, “Yes, we’re going to Bali Island first.”
Xu Wanqi smiled, “Then what was the good news you mentioned earlier?”
Meng Ke glanced at her, took a sip of milk from the glass beside him, and after putting down the cup, he said slowly, “There was a problem in D Country, Xiaoxiao has already gone in the morning.”
Xu Wanqi was shocked, it was just as she suspected.
Indeed, Meng Ke couldn’t let go of Bai Xiaoxiao, even having her accompany him abroad.
Her inner thoughts naturally wouldn’t show on her face. Xu Wanqi looked at Meng Ke with a smile, “Then let me congratulate you first, Senior. Abroad is not like in G City; Bai Xiaoxiao wouldn’t dare to treat you the same way as before.”
Meng Ke was truly very happy, saying gently with a smile, “Xiaoxiao was previously bewitched by Luo Haofeng, and stirred by the likes of Wen Ran, she didn’t know how good I was to her.”
He believed that ever since Bai Xiaoxiao agreed to be his girlfriend, he, Meng Ke, had never wronged her.
But Bai Xiaoxiao had always been vacillating between him and Luo Haofeng.
No, it wasn’t even vacillating; her heart had always leaned towards Luo Haofeng.
Just when Xu Wanqi was about to say something, she suddenly felt her stomach turn, and something surged up violently.
The next second, she felt uncomfortable, covering her mouth with one hand, letting out an ‘ugh’, and ran for the bathroom.
At the dining table, Meng Ke watched Xu Wanqi run into the bathroom, his gaze shifting a few times, but ultimately he didn’t get up to follow; instead, he pursed his lips and tore off a piece of bread to continue eating.
A few minutes later, Xu Wanqi came out of the bathroom, her face a bit pale from retching earlier.
She held one hand over her mouth, and when her eyes met Meng Ke’s, Xu Wanqi’s pale face revealed a faint smile, her eyes filled with joy and excitement, “Senior?”
Xu Wanqi couldn’t tell if Meng Ke knew what her nausea just now signified.
So, she just called out to him without telling him she was pregnant.
Meng Ke’s expression remained usual, showing no emotion.
He first glanced at her flat abdomen, and then his eyes settled on her face, which contained a hint of joy, and he calmly asked, “Wanqi, are you pregnant?”
With him asking that, Xu Wanqi felt a bit uneasy inside.
Her eyes careful as she watched Meng Ke, her earlier joy turning into caution, softly biting her lip, she hesitantly asked, “Senior, don’t you like children?”
Meng Ke lifted a hand to rub his forehead, “It’s not that I don’t like children, but at this moment, it’s not suitable for us to have a child.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanqi’s face turned pale.
“Senior, rest assured, I won’t burden you just because I’m pregnant. This is our first child, please let me give birth to him.”
This child was dearly desired by Xu Wanqi; she had hoped for it for a long time.
However, every time Meng Ke was with her, either he took precautions, or he let Xu Wanqi take after-the-fact medication.
“I remember I told you before to wait until things were stable to have a child. Did the medication not work or was it fake?”
Xu Wanqi’s eyes flickered, “Senior, I don’t know why it happened, but don’t you think it’s a blessing given to us by heaven? Moreover, your parents also want to have a grandchild.”
Saying this, Xu Wanqi lowered her eyes, biting her lip lightly, “Senior, if you’re really afraid I’d burden you, then I might as well stay in G City to nurture the fetus.”
Meng Ke’s eyes narrowed, his brows furrowing unhappily.
How could he be foolish enough to let Xu Wanqi stay in G City? Now that the police were investigating, if they uncovered anything, the first person they would look for was Xu Wanqi.
Judging by how Xu Wanqi looked, she wasn’t willing to abort the child.
Meng Ke weighed it in his mind, a slight smile appearing on his face again, saying gently, “What are you talking about? The tickets are already booked, how could I leave you here alone, especially when you’re pregnant with my child now.”
“Senior, so you agree?”
“Yes, I agree. Sit down and have breakfast, we need to visit the travel agency later.”
There were still some matters he needed to handle. Once everything was arranged, they could head to the airport.

Haochen Group
At ten in the morning, Wen Ran received a call from Mother Bai.
Over the phone, Mother Bai invited her for coffee.
A trace of suspicion flashed in Wen Ran’s heart, but she maintained a smile on her face and readily accepted Mother Bai’s invitation.
After hanging up, Mo Xiuchen happened to come in from outside, carrying a bag in his hand, and he lifted it towards Wen Ran, “Ranran, I brought some snacks for you.”
“What made you think of bringing me snacks?”
Wen Ran looked at Mo Xiuchen with a sweet smile.
“You didn’t eat much this morning; I’m worried you’ll be hungry before noon.”
Mo Xiuchen said as he brought the snacks over to the sofa, and Wen Ran stood up to come beside him, her smiling eyes carrying a hint of apology, “Xiuchen, I’m afraid I can’t eat your snacks, Aunt Qiao just called and invited me for coffee.”
“Aunt Qiao?”
A flicker of surprise crossed Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes.
Bai Xiaoxiao had just left, and now Qiao Xiuyun was inviting Ranran, what for?
Wen Ran nodded with a smile, “Yes, I don’t know what Aunt Qiao wants, but she invited me, I can’t exactly refuse.”
It was nothing more than Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao’s affair,
But she didn’t know if Qiao Xiuyun sought Wen Ran to chastise her or request something.
“I’ll go with you,”
Mo Xiuchen didn’t want Qiao Xiuyun to make things difficult for his Ranran because of Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao.
Wen Ran lifted her hand to smooth out his slightly furrowed brows, smiling softly, “Xiuchen, Aunt Qiao just invited me for coffee; she’s not going to eat me. It’d be inconvenient if you come along.”
Mo Xiuchen thought for a moment, “Alright, I’ll drive you there.”
Wen Ran shook her head, “Let the driver take me. You have a client waiting in the meeting room!”
Upon hearing there was a client waiting in the meeting room, Mo Xiuchen’s briefly displeased face sank, “That’s Ah Feng’s mess, he should go meet Aunt Qiao. Ranran, maybe you shouldn’t go, I’ll call Ah Feng to go.”
Mo Xiuchen was sure that Qiao Xiuyun calling on Wen Ran had to be for chastising her.
