Capítulo 1681: Chapter 1680: She Saw the People Inside
In the afternoon, just before leaving work, Bai Xiaoxiao received a call from Xiao Yuting.
He was asking her to have dinner together.
But Bai Xiaoxiao had plans for the evening, so she turned down Xiao Yuting.
“Xiaoxiao, what could be so important that you can’t join for dinner? Is it a social engagent?”
“No, it’s a personal matter.”
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, picked up her water cup from the side, placed her phone on the table, and twisted open the cap before picking it up again.
“I was planning to stand up for you. Sigh, since you have plans, let’s do it next ti.”
Xiao Yuting said regretfully on the other end of the line.
Bai Xiaoxiao asked with amusent, “Stand up for what?”
“Didn’t those two, Xu Wanqi and Xu Wanfei, bully you at lunch today? I can help you teach them a lesson so they won’t dare to ss with you again.”
“No need, I wasn’t expecting you to help with anything like that. If you get involved, it’ll only complicate things.”
“I don’t fear complications; life is so dull. A bit of complexity can be entertaining.”
Xiao Yuting chuckled on the phone.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched, “If you want entertainnt, find it elsewhere.”
aning, don’t target her.
“Xiaoxiao, you’re not having a date with ng Ke tonight, are you? You just had lunch together, and now dinner again. Isn’t it tiring to be together all day?”
“No, it’s not tiring.”
Bai Xiaoxiao said and then hung up the phone.
***
The restaurant Madam ng booked was at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion.
This location was roughly equidistant for both the ng and the Bai families.
Mainly because Yi Pin Xuan is one of the top restaurants in G City, and ever since Haochen acquired it, Yi Pin Xuan has beco a prestigious dining location for G City residents.
Of course, it’s also because Mo Xiuchen and his group frequently gather at Yi Pin Xuan.
Those who dine there are sotis lucky enough to see them. Especially the won, whether single or married, love to see handso n.
And Mo Xiuchen, Gu Kai, Qin Mu, Wen Jin, these guys et all the preferences of won.
Madam ng reserved a private room on the third floor.
Bai Xiaoxiao and Mr. Bai went ho after work to pick up Mother Bai before heading to Yi Pin Xuan together.
When they arrived, ng Ke and his family were already there.
Besides ng Ke’s parents, his aunt and cousin Li Shi Yao were also there.
Previously, Mr. and Mrs. Bai had only dined with ng Ke’s parents; they hadn’t t his aunt or cousin.
After mutual introductions and so small talk, ng Ke instructed the waiter to serve the dishes.
“In-law, Xiaoxiao has been to our ho twice since returning to the country, and I really like her so much that I wish to marry her into the ng family imdiately.”
Madam ng deliberately sat next to Mother Bai, while Mr. ng was inviting Mr. Bai for drinks, so she leaned over and spoke in a low voice to Mother Bai.
She glanced at the table and saw ng Ke putting a peeled shrimp onto Bai Xiaoxiao’s plate, the smile in her eyes deepened.
Turning back, she said to Mother Bai, “I see the young ones have a good relationship. In-law, how about we set a date before the end of the year for their engagent and hold their wedding ceremony when it gets warr after the New Year…”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao paused slightly in her action of picking up food.
She looked up at ng Ke.
Although Madam ng’s voice wasn’t loud, there were only a few of them at the table, so it was impossible not to hear.
ng Ke gave Bai Xiaoxiao an apologetic smile, indicating that it was his mother’s decision and not his own idea.
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned instinctively.
“I also hope the two of them get married soon. It’s hard to find a man as good as Little ng nowadays. If our Xiaoxiao marries Little ng, this mother will be truly relieved.”
Mother Bai didn’t respond directly to Madam ng’s suggestion about setting an engagent, but instead praised ng Ke generously.
Naturally, Madam ng was pleased to hear this.
In her eyes, her son was the most outstanding in the world.
“Please rest assured about that, in-law. ng Ke might not claim other things, but he will definitely be good to Xiaoxiao for life. I guarantee Xiaoxiao won’t suffer a bit in our family.”
“I certainly believe that.”
Mother Bai nodded with a smile, glancing at Bai Xiaoxiao.
Under Madam ng’s expectant gazes, Mother Bai gently said, “Xiaoxiao spent a few years abroad, and her father and I have always been concerned. Now that she’s back, we selfishly wish to keep her by our side a little longer.”
Madam ng also smiled, “Fortunately, our families are not far apart, so even if Xiaoxiao marries into our family, she can visit her in-laws anyti.”
“I need to use the restroom.”
At this point, Bai Xiaoxiao put down her chopsticks and whispered to ng Ke, then got up to leave.
ng Ke saw Bai Xiaoxiao leaving, thinking she might be upset, quickly tried to stop his mother, “Mom, please don’t always talk about this, Xiaoxiao just ca back to the country, she should spend more ti with uncle and aunt…”
Bai Xiaoxiao closed the private room door behind her, leaving ng Ke’s words sealed inside.
She was just a few steps away from the restroom when a familiar figure erged from the n’s restroom.
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao, his eyes lit up, and a bright smile spread across his handso face, “Xiaoxiao, turns out you’re dining here at Yi Pin Xuan?”
This person was none other than Xiao Yuting, who had asked her out after work.
Bai Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
Looking at Xiao Yuting in front of her, she forced a smile, “What are you doing here?”
Xiao Yuting raised an eyebrow, responding evasively, “You go to the restroom first. I’ll wait here for you, then I’ll take you to et soone.”
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned in confusion, “I’m not interested in your lady friends.”
“Haha, it’s not what you think.”
Xiao Yuting said, gently nudging her, signaling her to hurry to the restroom.
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced back at him; for so reason, she found the glint in Xiao Yuting’s eyes sowhat mysterious.
When she ca out of the restroom, Xiao Yuting was indeed still waiting outside.
“Xiaoxiao, let’s go.”
“Who are you dining with here?”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked up at Xiao Yuting, wondering if it might be Xu Wanfei.
Xiao Yuting’s lips curved into a joyful arc, “You’ll find out soon.”
“If it’s one of your ex-girlfriends, then I’m not going.”
Bai Xiaoxiao, seeing him not reveal any details, felt even more strongly that this might be the case.
After all, Xiao Yuting had ntioned over the phone in the afternoon that he wanted to stand up for her.
Xiao Yuting frowned, “Xiaoxiao, do you think I’d stoop to having to dine with an ex? I’m currently not inclined to date. If I wanted to, there’d definitely be won lining up to go out with .”
Bai Xiaoxiao was amused by his words.
“…”
“Don’t say anything more, you’ll find out in a mont.”
As they talked, they had already arrived outside the private room where Xiao Yuting was dining.
Xiao Yuting reached out and grabbed her arm, “This is the place.”
He smiled and with his other hand, pushed the private room door open. The next mont, Bai Xiaoxiao saw the people inside.
