Chapter 1620: Chapter 1619: Don’t Force Her
“So, you ca to G City not to win back your money, but to see Xiaoxiao, right?”
Wen Jin asked with a smile. It’s been so long, and he only cos to win back his money now.
Who would believe that!
“How did you know Bai Xiaoxiao was returning ho today? It seems even ng Ke didn’t know.”
Qin Mu narrowed his sharp eyes, gazing directly at Luo Haofeng.
Luo Haofeng ate leisurely and instead of answering, he asked, “Do you want to eat more with ? Co on, eat a bit more. You can accompany the ng, but not a brother like . How heartless.”
Mo Xiuchen smirked indifferently, “If we were heartless, would we care about you?”
“It’s not caring, it’s gossiping!”
Luo Haofeng pouted, not being naive.
If he hadn’t answered their questions just now, they would have certainly kept asking until dusk.
“No good deed goes unpunished.”
Gu Kai sighed and shook his head while speaking, “I just said, Ah Feng definitely wouldn’t appreciate it.”
“Had we known, we wouldn’t have put ng Ke on the spot at the table.”
Wen Jin chid in agreent.
Luo Haofeng’s eyes flashed with doubt, still skeptical about what they said.
“Since Ah Feng said so, next ti ng Ke approaches you guys, try being more approachable.”
Mo Xiuchen’s words made Qin Mu burst into laughter, “Xiuchen, it seems like you’re the most arrogant.”
“Can I be like you guys?”
Mo Xiuchen leaned back leisurely against the chair and explained slowly, “I’m speaking on Ranran’s behalf.”

On the way back, Bai Xiaoxiao kept her eyes closed.
She wasn’t asleep; her mind was just wandering, not wanting to face ng Ke.
The car stopped slowly in front of her house, and before ng Ke could speak, Bai Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, “ng Ke, thank you for bringing ho.”
“I’m your boyfriend; doing things for you is what I’m supposed to do.”
ng Ke smiled, his tone cheerful.
Though he had seen Luo Haofeng earlier and had doubts, he didn’t ntion it.
He spoke, then got out to open the car door for Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao unbuckled her seatbelt and bent to get out only after he opened the door.
“I need a good sleep at ho, so I won’t invite you in.”
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled slightly apologetically. ng Ke glanced at her villa, then looked back at her face.
“There’s plenty of ti. I’ll wait for your call when you’re refreshed.”
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled, “Alright, I’ll call you after I’ve slept well.”
She spoke, yawning tiredly.
ng Ke’s eyes filled with a trace of tenderness; his voice grew softer, “Go in and rest quickly.”
“Bye!”
Bai Xiaoxiao waved at him and turned to leave.
“Xiaoxiao.”
ng Ke called to her just as she reached the door.
“What is it?”
Bai Xiaoxiao turned around, smiling at ng Ke.
ng Ke pursed his lips and took a step forward, looking down at her, “Xiaoxiao, I’ve told my parents about your return. Once you’ve rested, co over for a al.”
“Ah?”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked surprised for two seconds.
She ca to her senses, smiled, and nodded, “It’s only right for to visit your parents. I’ll go tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
ng Ke had worried Bai Xiaoxiao might be unhappy or refuse.
But she agreed so readily, which pleasantly surprised him, his delight showing unabashedly on his face.
“Xiaoxiao, thank you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t handle the intense look in his eyes filled with excitent and joy, possibly too close, and instinctively took a half step back.
She said, “I’m going in now,” and turned into the villa before ng Ke could say more.
Upon returning ho, Mother Bai and Mr. Bai were sitting on the living room sofa, drinking tea.
“Xiaoxiao, why are you alone? Didn’t invite Little ng in?”
Mother Bai saw her daughter return alone and imdiately waved her over to sit.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head wearily, “Dad, Mom, I didn’t sleep on the plane, I’m really tired. I’ll go to my room to sleep first, let’s talk after I’ve rested.”
“Alright…”
Mother Bai frowned, about to speak, but Mr. Bai gently nudged her, signaling her to stop.
Watching Bai Xiaoxiao’s silhouette disappear up the stairs, Mother Bai withdrew her gaze and asked Mr. Bai beside her, “Old Bai, why did you nudge just now?”
“I think our Xiaoxiao doesn’t really like ng Ke.”
Mr. Bai hesitated and shared his thoughts.
His words earned a disdainful look from Mother Bai, “Of course, I know, but feelings develop slowly. Xiaoxiao doesn’t like ng Ke now because she doesn’t want to. Once she figures it out, she’ll like him.”
Mr. Bai sighed, “I’m just worried that Xiaoxiao won’t be happy.”
As a father, Mr. Bai’s greatest wish is for his daughter to marry a good man she loves, who would treat her well her whole life and give her happiness.
Talking about this, Mother Bai’s face changed.
She knew whom Xiaoxiao still couldn’t let go of in her heart.
But that’s impossible.
“Xiaoxiao will be happy. ng Ke’s feelings for Xiaoxiao are clear to us. Even though Xiaoxiao was abroad for the past two years, he never had any scandals.”
At this, Mother Bai paused before continuing, “Now that Xiaoxiao’s back, ng Ke will definitely get along well with her. Give her so ti, and she’ll like ng Ke.”
“I hope so. During dinner, ng Ke’s parents expressed their wish for him to settle down soon.”
Mr. Bai furrowed his thick brows slightly, “Regarding this, we can’t follow the ng family in pressuring Xiaoxiao, we must give her plenty of ti.”
Mother Bai nodded, “Don’t worry. She’s my daughter, wouldn’t I wish her happiness?”
Though Mother Bai spoke about wanting Bai Xiaoxiao to marry soon, she wouldn’t push her into an unhappy marriage.
“That’s good.”
Mr. Bai smiled in relief, glancing towards the second floor, and said to his wife, “Go upstairs and check if Xiaoxiao’s asleep.”
“Alright!”
Mother Bai smiled, got up, and went upstairs.
Bai Xiaoxiao had just finished showering and had co out of the bathroom, when she heard a couple of knocks on the door, followed by Mother’s voice coming through, “Xiaoxiao, are you asleep?”
“Mom, I just took a shower, about to sleep.”
Bai Xiaoxiao walked over to open the door, then turned back to the dressing table.
“How can you sleep with wet hair? Dry it first.”
Mother Bai glanced at her damp hair and frowned imdiately.
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and explained, “I’m not a child anymore. But, Mom, since you’re here, help dry my hair.”
“Just this once since you’ve just returned ho today.”
Mother Bai gave her a playful scolding look, walked over to plug in the hairdryer, and started drying Bai Xiaoxiao’s hair. While doing so, she asked, “On the way back, did Little ng say anything to you?”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at her mother in the mirror and replied casually, “He said his parents know I returned today and that I should go to his house for dinner tomorrow.”
