Capítulo 1653: Chapter 1652: Blinded by Love
ng Ke is not at ho, and Li Shiyao’s parents didn’t co either.
At the lunch table, there were only Father ng, Mother ng, Bai Xiaoxiao, and Li Shiyao.
Mother ng, however, prepared a table full of dishes.
“Xiaoxiao, is my cooking okay?”
Mother ng warmly served food to Bai Xiaoxiao and asked with a loving smile.
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, “Auntie’s cooking is really good. Auntie, you’ve worked hard all morning, don’t serve anymore, you should eat too.”
“As long as you like it.”
Mother ng’s smile grew even brighter after Bai Xiaoxiao praised her cooking skills.
After lunch, Mother ng asked the housekeeper to bring out so fruit. Father ng received a phone call, told Bai Xiaoxiao to enjoy herself at ho, and left.
“Xiaoxiao, do you know how to play mahjong?”
Once Father ng left, it was just Mother ng, Li Shiyao, and Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt a bit embarrassed when asked, and said, “Auntie, I’m not very good at it.”
“It’s okay, let’s play for a while. Yao Yao, call your mom and have her co over to play mahjong with Xiaoxiao.”
Li Shiyao imdiately took out her phone to make the call.
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t refuse.
Li Shiyao’s house shouldn’t be very far from ng Ke’s house, as her mom arrived quickly.
Because Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t play well, Mother ng and the others all accommodated her at the mahjong table.
After playing for over two hours, Bai Xiaoxiao received a call from Wen Ran, which gave her an excuse to end the ga.
“Sister Xiaoxiao, I’ll go to the hospital with you. Yesterday Mrs. Gu said the ti was near, didn’t expect the baby to arrive so soon.”
Upon hearing Bai Xiaoxiao say she was going to the hospital, Li Shiyao glanced at her aunt and mom and wanted to go with Bai Xiaoxiao.
A hint of difficulty crossed Bai Xiaoxiao’s face, and just as she was about to refuse, Mother ng spoke first, “Yao Yao, do you know Xiaoxiao’s friend?”
“Auntie, of course I know, she’s the wife of Doctor Gu from Kangning Hospital. I saw her yesterday.”
Li Shiyao spoke with a face full of excitent.
Having known so of the most handso and outstanding n in G City, she felt like her social status had suddenly elevated.
“I t Mrs. Gu too last ti I went to Kangning Hospital for a check-up. Yao Yao, I’ll prepare so gifts for you, so you can accompany your sister Xiaoxiao.”
Mother ng spoke, and Bai Xiaoxiao instinctively said, “Auntie, there’s no need. Yao Yao and Mrs. Gu just t once, there’s no need for that.”
“Xiaoxiao, are you afraid that taking our Yao Yao with you would cause you to lose face?” Li Shiyao’s mom spoke up, with a slight hint of displeasure.
Earlier, Bai Xiaoxiao’s refusal made her feel that Bai Xiaoxiao looked down on her daughter.
She had been unhappy ever since ng Ke brought her daughter ho yesterday.
“Auntie, I didn’t an that.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression changed slightly, and beside her, Mother ng gave her sister a look, signaling her not to speak nonsense.
“Xiaoxiao, your aunt just thought that since ng Ke isn’t ho, it’d be nice for Yao Yao to keep you company. After you and ng Ke get married, Yao Yao will be your cousin, so having more ti to interact now won’t do any harm. Yao Yao has been close to ng Ke since childhood, they’re like siblings.”
Mother ng’s words were more amicable than what Li Shiyao’s mother said.
But the aning was the sa.
To let Li Shiyao go with Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated for a mont, then nodded and agreed, “Auntie, I’ll go to the restroom first, then let Yao Yao go with later.”
“Okay, go ahead. I’ll prepare so gifts for Yao Yao.”
Bai Xiaoxiao went to the restroom, while Mother ng and Li Shiyao’s mother and daughter went upstairs, claiming to get the gifts, though no one knew what they were discussing.
Listening to their footsteps upstairs, Bai Xiaoxiao took out her phone and dialed Jing Xiaocha’s number.
Upstairs, Mother ng spoke to Li Shiyao, “Yao Yao, when you go to the hospital with Xiaoxiao later, check if Luo Haofeng is there.”
“Yes, if that Luo is at the hospital, you must stay with Bai Xiaoxiao and make sure they don’t get a chance to be alone.”
Mother ng and Li Shiyao’s mother each instructed her.
Li Shiyao nodded seriously, “Auntie, Mom, don’t worry, for my cousin’s happiness, I’ll definitely keep an eye on Sister Xiaoxiao and not let that Luo Haofeng pester her.”
“Yesterday when your cousin was on a business trip and you returned ho, they must have already been alone together.”
Li’s mother looked at Mother ng, “I still think Bai Xiaoxiao and ng Ke should get married sooner, to avoid long-term concerns.”
Mother ng frowned, “Do you think I don’t want that? But ng Ke said not to interfere with his matters with Bai Xiaoxiao, saying that Bai Xiaoxiao just got back to the country and they need ti to interact and get to know each other.”
“You shouldn’t listen to him. He’s blinded by love. Sister, just imagine if Bai Xiaoxiao rekindles an old fla with Luo, ng Ke would have waited in vain for two or three years.”
Though ng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao have only been officially together for a year.
Mother ng and her sister seed to count the beginning from the day ng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao t for matchmaking.
“I’ll talk to him when he cos back.”
“No need to talk to ng Ke. Just arrange to et Bai Xiaoxiao’s parents. You ntioned it before, now that Bai Xiaoxiao is back, there’s no reason or excuse to delay.”
Since Bai Xiaoxiao drove herself here.
Mother ng let Li Shiyao sit in her car, also to ensure that Li Shiyao wouldn’t be left behind by Bai Xiaoxiao.
As they left, Mother ng and her sister both told Bai Xiaoxiao to co over often to play, whether or not ng Ke was at ho.
On the road, Li Shiyao made so small talk, then asked, “Sister Xiaoxiao, is that President Luo from City B still in G City?”
Bai Xiaoxiao was focused on looking ahead, and when she heard Li Shiyao’s words, she turned to look at her with slight surprise, smiling and asking, “Shi Yao, why are you asking about this? Don’t tell you like Luo Haofeng?”
“No way, Sister Xiaoxiao, you’re not the type to be infatuated.”
Li Shiyao didn’t expect Bai Xiaoxiao to ask her back, and Luo Haofeng’s handso, sculpted face flashed in her mind. Although she already had soone in her heart, her heartbeat skipped for a mont.
Such a mature, handso, and charismatic man couldn’t be compared to Jin Zheyu, who hadn’t entered the working world yet.
“How could it be infatuation? If you really liked Luo Haofeng, it would be completely normal. He’s quite popular with the ladies.”
Bai Xiaoxiao teased.
As the words left her mouth, her phone rang.
Connected to the car’s navigation, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t put on her Bluetooth headset and directly pressed the answer button. Jing Xiaocha’s voice filled the car, “Sister Bai, where are you now?”
Hearing Jing Xiaocha’s voice, Li Shiyao blinked in surprise.
Bai Xiaoxiao took a glance out the car window, stating her current location.
“Sister Bai, are you close to the orphanage? Could you help with sothing?”
“What do you need? Just tell .”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes softened into a gentle smile.
“Well, it’s like this, Lu Lu and Classmate Jin are at the orphanage right now…”
