Capítulo 1648: Chapter 1647: Heart Skipped a Beat
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and asked Wen Ran, “Ranran, are you going out?”
“If a real fight breaks out, I definitely can’t step out.” Wen Ran said, slightly furrowing her brow.
“Ranran, co here.”
Mo Xiuchen’s voice ca from two steps away.
“Then I’ll wait in the living room.” Bai Xiaoxiao said and left the kitchen.
Wen Jin was frying the last dish, Qin Mu, who currently had no work, also left the kitchen to find An Lin outside.
“There’s sothing I need to tell you.”
Wen Ran ca up to Mo Xiuchen, glanced at the cake he had made, and spoke gently.
“What’s up?”
Mo Xiuchen raised an eyebrow, a charming curve lifting the corner of his mouth as his deep gaze fondly settled on her.
Wen Ran hesitated for a mont and said, “ng Ke’s cousin also ca.”
“ng Ke’s cousin?”
Mo Xiuchen was just turning to grab chopsticks when he heard Wen Ran’s words. His action paused for a mont, then he picked up the chopsticks and turned around.
“Is it that classmate of Xiaocha’s, nad Li Shi Yao?”
When Mo Xiuchen said this, Wen Jin, who was cooking, turned his head to look at them, “Xiaocha’s what classmate, Ranran, what’s going on?”
“It’s like this, that Li Shi Yao is a classmate of Xiaocha’s. There was a misunderstanding with Xiaocha before, and a few days ago, she called Xiaoxiao to ask her to help arrange a eting with Xiaocha…”
Wen Ran recounted how Li Shi Yao called Bai Xiaoxiao asking for help.
Wen Jin frowned slightly, his tone slightly displeased, “I’ll ask Jing Xiaocha what is going on. Not everyone should be brought here.”
“Xiaocha told it was Li Shi Yao who insisted on coming. Brother, don’t bla Xiaocha.”
Seeing her brother angry, Wen Ran hurriedly defended Jing Xiaocha.
Mo Xiuchen squinted his eyes, his tone slightly deep as he asked, “That Li Shi Yao isn’t familiar with any of us. Why did she co here? It can’t be that just because ng Ke is her cousin, she decided to tag along.”
“I think she might be here for Luo Haofeng. She might know about Luo Haofeng and Xiaoxiao’s past relationship. After ng Ke and Luo Haofeng left just now, she said so strange things.”
Wen Ran glanced towards the living room, where Bai Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, having turned on the television.
Mo Xiuchen and Wen Jin were both intelligent people.
Hearing Wen Ran say this, they imdiately guessed a bit.
Squinting his deep eyes, Mo Xiuchen lightly curved his lips, “If she’s here, she’s here.”
After all, there was nothing between Ah Feng and Bai Xiaoxiao.
If Li Shi Yao said so things she shouldn’t have, her effect would only be counterproductive.
Although ng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao were in a relationship, their feelings were not deep. If Li Shi Yao ssed up…
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Mo Xiuchen’s lips.
**
By the ti Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen went outside to the yard, Li Shi Yao had already left.
“Ranran, ng Ke has taken Li Shi Yao back.”
Bai Xiaoxiao, who had gone outside earlier, inford them as Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran ca out.
Wen Ran was a bit surprised, “Xiaoxiao, did you ask ng Ke to take her back?”
“No, when I ca out, ng Ke was about to go inside to find you guys. I told you I’d tell you guys soon, and he would probably be back quickly too.”
Just as she finished speaking, Bai Xiaoxiao’s phone rang.
It was a call from ng Ke.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered as she pressed the answer button, “Hello.”
“Xiaoxiao, I just received a call. There was an accident with a tour group that went abroad a few days ago. I have to go there to deal with it now.”
ng Ke’s voice sounded with a hint of apology.
Otherwise, it was calm.
Bai Xiaoxiao was startled and asked with concern, “What kind of accident? Is it serious?”
“Yes, the police have already gotten involved. The details are unclear until I get there. Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry…”
“You need to handle work matters, so don’t say sorry. I’ll explain to Xiuchen and Ranran for you. Have you booked your flight already?”
Bai Xiaoxiao asked with a slight frown.
She wasn’t an unreasonable woman.
“Yes, I have. I just dropped Yao Yao ho, grabbed my docunts, and I’ll head to the airport.”
ng Ke was probably driving, as the sound of a car horn ca through the phone.
“Alright, call once you get there.”
Bai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and gently instructed.
After hanging up, seeing everyone looking at her, Bai Xiaoxiao instinctively avoided Luo Haofeng’s gaze and explained to Wen Ran, “Ranran, ng Ke has an ergency work trip and can’t co back. He asked to explain to you and Xiuchen.”
“It’s fine. Since he isn’t coming back, let’s start eating.”
In the cane chair, Luo Haofeng heard Bai Xiaoxiao’s words. His long romantic eyes flickered slightly, and his long fingers gently released the cup’s rim.
With ng Ke and Li Shi Yao not present.
The people here were all from their circle, extrely good friends, so the atmosphere was naturally lively.
The only reserved ones were Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when it ca to seating, with a balance of male and female, Bai Xiaoxiao ended up exactly between Luo Haofeng and Wen Jin.
On Wen Jin’s other side was Jing Xiaocha.
This morning, because she brought Li Shi Yao, Jing Xiaocha had sincerely apologized to Wen Jin when she saw him.
Wen Jin only gave her a brief glance without a word.
Now, sitting beside Wen Jin, Jing Xiaocha was particularly cautious.
Even when picking food, she only took from the dish rotating in front of her.
When Luo Haofeng placed the dish he picked in front of Bai Xiaoxiao, she looked up in surprise at him.
Luo Haofeng smiled, gently saying, “I rember you love this.”
“Thank you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, softly expressing her thanks.
“Xiaoxiao, you and Ah Feng haven’t just t today, why are you being so formal? Besides, since Ah Feng is next to you, as a gentleman, it’s right for him to serve you.”
An Lin and Qin Mu happened to sit across from Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng.
After she spoke, Mo Xiuchen nodded in agreent, “Xiaoxiao, today’s al was cooked by Ah Jin and Ah Mu, so don’t hold back. If you don’t eat well, not only the little birthday star will be unhappy but Ranran might bla too.”
Gently looking at Wen Ran beside him, Mo Xiuchen then glanced at Luo Haofeng, “Ah Feng, you must take good care of Xiaoxiao today. If she doesn’t eat well, you’re responsible.”
Luo Haofeng lightly raised his handso brow, agreeing readily, “No worries, I’m here.”
Saying this, he placed another dish that Bai Xiaoxiao liked onto her plate, “Xiaoxiao, just make sure you eat well and get full today.”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the plate full of food, and when she raised her eyes, she t Luo Haofeng’s long eyes filled with a smile.
Her heart discreetly skipped a beat again.
She subconsciously tightened her grip on her chopsticks, pulling up a smile, “I’m not a child, don’t watch , or I won’t dare to eat.”
The others laughed and looked away, while Luo Haofeng continued watching her.
Feeling his unwavering gaze, Bai Xiaoxiao gently frowned, unsure if she should eat as if nothing was happening or tell him to stop looking and eat his own food.
Torn, her thoughts spiraled out of control.
