Capítulo 1664: Chapter 1663: Coming to Provoke
The next morning, Bai Xiaoxiao received a call from ng Ke, saying that he was going to H City and might return tomorrow or the day after.
Throughout the entire morning, Bai Xiaoxiao was very busy.
At eleven o’clock, she finally took a breather as her father had just returned from a eting in the city.
“Xiaoxiao, have lunch with at noon!”
Mr. Bai was afraid that his daughter might have made lunch plans with soone else, so he went straight to Bai Xiaoxiao’s office as soon as he returned to the company.
Bai Xiaoxiao cheerfully responded with an affirmative, ca out from behind her desk, and went over to the sofa to massage Mr. Bai’s shoulders.
“Dad, was the eting smooth today?”
Mr. Bai looked up at Bai Xiaoxiao, his face showing a satisfied smile, “It went smoothly. By the way, Xiaoxiao, tell ng Ke in the next two days that our company plans to organize a trip for all the employees this month. Ask him to recomnd a good seven-day tour.”
“Dad, ng Ke is on a business trip.”
Mr. Bai looked at Bai Xiaoxiao in surprise, “Didn’t he just co back yesterday?”
“He went on another business trip this morning.”
Bai Xiaoxiao explained innocently.
Mr. Bai frowned slightly, “He just got back yesterday and left for another trip today. How are you two supposed to spend ti together and get to know each other this way?”
“Dad, ng Ke isn’t an idle man.”
Mr. Bai chuckled, “I haven’t said anything yet, and you’re already defending him?”
“I’m not defending him, I’m just being reasonable.” Bai Xiaoxiao said playfully.
“Are you suggesting that I’m being unreasonable?”
Mr. Bai raised his thick eyebrows, pretending to look displeased at his daughter.
Bai Xiaoxiao paused her shoulder massaging and was about to say sothing when there was a knock on the door.
“Co in.”
As Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice fell, the office door was pushed open, and the assistant’s voice ca from the doorway, “Manager, a Miss Xu Wanqi is here to see you, do you want to see her?”
“Xu Wanqi?”
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned in confusion.
She couldn’t imdiately recall who Xu Wanqi was.
Seeing her not respond, the assistant waited patiently.
“Xiaoxiao, that Xu Wanqi is a tour guide from ng Ke’s travel agency.”
Mr. Bai explained with a smile when he saw his daughter looking puzzled.
Bai Xiaoxiao was montarily stunned.
The scene from the airport yesterday flashed in her mind. She smiled and instructed the assistant, “Take her to the reception room and tell her I’ll be there shortly.”
“Okay, Manager.”
The assistant left the office, closing the door behind her.
Bai Xiaoxiao bent over, leaned against Mr. Bai’s back, and said cheerfully, “Dad, I’ll treat you to seafood.”
Mr. Bai stared at Bai Xiaoxiao for a mont, a smile appearing on his face, “Alright, it’s rare for my daughter to treat to a al. Let’s go now.”
A few minutes later, Bai Xiaoxiao and Mr. Bai were seated in a seafood restaurant.
“Xiaoxiao, can you tell now why you’re keeping Xu Wanqi waiting in the reception room?”
As the seafood was served, Mr. Bai asked casually.
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled and dutifully served Mr. Bai with so seafood, “Dad, do I need a reason?”
“Because you are my daughter.”
Mr. Bai spoke with certainty, pride evident in his brows.
He understood his daughter well; Xiaoxiao was not an unreasonable, spoiled, or arrogant girl.
“Dad, are you complinting or yourself?”
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled.
Mr. Bai glared at her, “Tell , did that Xu Wanqi offend you? You just returned to the country and don’t even know who she is, how could she have offended you?”
Bai Xiaoxiao felt that her dad seed as if he would avenge her if she explained how Xu Wanqi had upset her.
She couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.
“Xiaoxiao, why are you laughing?”
Mr. Bai put on a stern face and looked at Bai Xiaoxiao seriously.
Bai Xiaoxiao quickly suppressed her laughter, “Dad, I just think it’s adorable how you want to stand up for .”
“Watch your words.”
Bai Xiaoxiao collected herself and calmly said, “Actually, it’s nothing serious. It’s just that yesterday at the airport, Xu Wanqi seed unhappy with .”
“Hmph, does she like ng Ke?” Mr. Bai’s face darkened imdiately upon hearing this.
Bai Xiaoxiao was not surprised by her dad’s response.
When she was in D Country, the trips for Bai’s employees were arranged by ng Ke.
Her father had a deeper impression of Xu Wanqi than she did, indicating that he had interacted with her before.
“Dad, you knew that, too?”
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao’s playful expression, Mr. Bai furrowed his brows again and coldly retorted, “She’s just a woman with so looks, incomparable to my daughter. How dare she look at my daughter displeasedly? Was ng Ke there at the ti?”
Listening to her dad’s words of defense, Bai Xiaoxiao felt a sense of warmth, and a smile naturally appeared on her face.
“Soone has their eye on your boyfriend, and you’re still smiling?”
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows indifferently, her eyes filled with amusent, and proudly said, “I’m happy because I have such a great dad.”
“Why are you happy when a rival cos to provoke? Tell first, are you going back to et her?”
Mr. Bai looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with concern.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, “No, I’m going to find Ranran at Haochen and have so fun while securing so investnts.”
anwhile, in Bai’s reception room, Xu Wanqi was still waiting for Bai Xiaoxiao.
After glancing at her wristwatch, Xu Wanqi’s expression turned cold. After waiting for another ten minutes, she finally got impatient and stood up to leave the reception room.
“Is your Manager Bai still busy?”
Xu Wanqi approached the receptionist and asked.
“Our Manager Bai is having lunch with a client. Miss Xu, please wait patiently. You can et her as soon as Manager Bai returns.”
Though she guessed that Bai Xiaoxiao must be having lunch and letting her wait on purpose, hearing it confird made Xu Wanqi feel a surge of anger.
Clutching her bag strap tightly, she asked coldly, “When will your Manager Bai return?”
The receptionist shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“Can you tell your manager’s phone number?” Xu Wanqi took a deep breath, struggling to control her emotions.
“I’m sorry, I can’t divulge that information,”
Gaining nothing, Xu Wanqi hesitated for a mont, then turned back to wait in the reception room.
She couldn’t believe Bai Xiaoxiao could avoid her all afternoon.
Her interpretation of avoidance was solely her own.
Bai Xiaoxiao was simply feeling annoyed and didn’t want to see her, intending to toy with her a bit.
After lunch, Bai Xiaoxiao went to Haochen. Naturally, she’d rather et a liked friend than face soone she disliked.
Coincidentally, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran had just returned to the company after lunch.
Since Wen Ran shared an office with Mo Xiuchen, Mo Xiuchen left to go to Qin Mu’s office, allowing them to chat.
Bai Xiaoxiao first toured Wen Ran’s office and said enviously, “Ranran, you are truly the happiest woman in the world. I am so envious of you.”
Wen Ran, sitting on the leather sofa, looked at her with a smile, “Are you envious that I have a husband, or that I work in the sa office as my husband?”
