Capítulo 1699: Chapter 1698: Mistrust

Xiao Yuting’s expression remained unchanged, with a faint, ambiguous smile on his lips, calmly watching ng Ke carry Bai Xiaoxiao’s luggage to his car and place it in the trunk.

As Bai Xiaoxiao passed by Xiao Yuting, she glanced at him without speaking.

Xiao Yuting’s slight smile turned into a grin as he nodded at Bai Xiaoxiao and then bent down to get into his car.

The two cars drove one after the other in the direction of the airport.

“Xiaoxiao, it’s been cold these days, and the temperature in City B is low too. Rember to wear more clothes and don’t catch a cold.”

ng Ke reminded Bai Xiaoxiao while driving.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded lightly, smiling, “I know, I won’t let myself freeze. Did you just get back this morning?”

She turned slightly, observing ng Ke.

There was a faint weariness between his brows.

“Yes, the flight was at five this morning. I’ll take you to the airport and then go ho to sleep.” ng Ke smiled at Bai Xiaoxiao reassuringly, signaling her not to worry.

Through the rearview mirror, ng Ke glanced at the car behind them and softly said, “Xiaoxiao, don’t get too close to that Xiao Yuting. He doesn’t have good intentions towards you.”

This was the first ti ng Ke said sothing like this.

Bai Xiaoxiao was initially stunned.

Seeing him turn around, looking at her seriously, she blinked and said with a faint smile, “He’s just joking.”

“Xiaoxiao, I think he really wants to pursue you.”

ng Ke had several encounters with Xiao Yuting, and he couldn’t stay calm about it anymore.

The more frequent these encounters, the more ng Ke felt Xiao Yuting couldn’t be underestimated.

Although he wasn’t as important to Xiaoxiao as Luo Haofeng was.

But the point was, Xiao Yuting hit his sore spot; Bai Xiaoxiao had secretly loved Xiao Yuting for over ten years, deeply loved Luo Haofeng for several years, and now she was ng Ke’s girlfriend.

Her heart, however, might not be with him.

“ng Ke, do you not trust ?”

Bai Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow with a hint of doubt, looking calmly at ng Ke.

ng Ke’s expression stiffened for a mont; he subconsciously pressed his lips together, “Xiaoxiao, it’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that we haven’t had much ti to be together before, and now that you’re back in the country, we still can’t be together every day. I’m a bit worried.”

“What are you worried about?”

Bai Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.

Wasn’t her attitude towards him obvious enough?

In front of Luo Haofeng, she didn’t avoid her identity as his girlfriend.

She even frankly told Luo Haofeng that their parents were discussing marriage.

ng Ke’s mind was, however, preoccupied with the phone call he received last night—it was from Xu Wanqi.

Of course, Xu Wanqi was leading a tour for upper managent of the Haochen Group these days and wasn’t in G City. However, she seed convinced that Bai Xiaoxiao was sneaking around with other n behind ng Ke’s back.

So she hired a private detective.

Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Yuting picked up Bai Xiaoxiao from the company and sent her ho—the detective captured the whole process.

Xu Wanqi even sent the photos to his email.

“Xiaoxiao, could you not stay close with Xiao Yuting.” ng Ke’s words carried a hint of pleading.

He realized he’d been neglecting Xiao Yuting too much.

He’d always seen Luo Haofeng as his primary rival.

But since Xiaoxiao returned to the country, it seed more natural for Xiao Yuting to get close to Bai Xiaoxiao. ng Ke knew a bit about the past between Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao.

“ng Ke, our company has a partnership with Xiao’s company. I’m on a business trip with Xiao Yuting for work.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her voice.

She disliked being doubted.

Perhaps seeing her anger, ng Ke hurriedly explained, “Xiaoxiao, it’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that Xiao Yuting is a player in love, and I’m afraid you’ll fall for his tricks.”

“…”

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t speak, instead turning her head to look out the window.

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly beca sowhat stagnant.

ng Ke, seeing Bai Xiaoxiao ignoring him, was a bit annoyed at his own impulsiveness. His grip on the steering wheel involuntarily tightened.

“Xiaoxiao, are you mad at ?”

After a few minutes, ng Ke softly broke the silence in the car.

Bai Xiaoxiao slowly turned her face towards him, eting his apologetic and tense gaze. She gently shook her head, “I’m not angry, just feel that we don’t understand each other enough.”

That’s why he didn’t trust her.

“Xiaoxiao, maybe I’m just too nervous, or perhaps it’s this business trip that’s too exhausting. I haven’t had a good rest these past few days. This morning, I bumped into Xiao Yuting outside your house, and he said so irritating things that caused to lose my cool.”

Bai Xiaoxiao simply listened, watching him.

The more silent she was, the more uneasy ng Ke felt, “Xiaoxiao, please don’t be mad, alright? I apologize for what I said earlier. No matter what intentions Xiao Yuting has, I should trust that you won’t be deceived by him.”

“What did he say to you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao finally spoke, her voice as calm as water.

ng Ke’s expression stiffened again.

“He said that he and Luo Haofeng, one was your first love whom you secretly admired for over ten years, and the other was a man you deeply loved. Even though I’m your boyfriend, I might not be able to keep you.”

The latter half of the sentence was his modification.

Bai Xiaoxiao was startled.

Her expression changed slightly, “Xiao Yuting is just talking nonsense.”

Previously, Xiao Yuting had told her in person that he and Luo Haofeng were her ex-boyfriends.

Making the atmosphere awkward.

“Xiaoxiao, let’s just act as if I didn’t say anything earlier. Xiao Yuting is trying to sow discord, and I shouldn’t have been so foolish.”

ng Ke kept apologizing, reflecting on himself.

“I’m not angry, and those words weren’t said out of anger.”

Bai Xiaoxiao spoke calmly, but ng Ke’s expression changed.

“Just like you said, I’ve just returned to the country. We both have work and need to travel for business, so we don’t spend much ti together. We indeed don’t know each other well enough. ng Ke, I’m not soone who likes to joke around with feelings.”

“Xiaoxiao, I understand.”

ng Ke’s eyes brightened, and a smile blood on his face.

Bai Xiaoxiao also smiled slightly, “So, we need to trust each other. Even though the future is unpredictable, if we’ve tried our best, there’ll be no regrets.”

Although she hadn’t completely let go of the other person in her heart.

But from the mont she agreed to be ng Ke’s girlfriend.

She genuinely wanted a future with him.

ng Ke, in his excitent, freed one hand gripping the steering wheel and reached over to hold Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand, “Xiaoxiao, I was wrong just now. I promise there won’t be a next ti.”

Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at her hand held by him, without struggling.

A shallow smile graced her face, “You should focus on driving; I wouldn’t want any mishaps preventing us from getting to the airport.”

“Of course not.”

ng Ke chuckled pleasantly, gave her a deeply affectionate look, then withdrew his hand and concentrated on driving the rest of the way.

At the airport, before getting out of the car, ng Ke held Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand warmly and said, “Xiaoxiao, when you return from this business trip, I have a surprise for you.”
