Half an hour later.
Everyone arrived at an elegantly decorated restaurant.
Upon entering the private room, Mo Xiuchen personally helped Wen Ran take off her coat and hung it on the nearby coat rack.
"Xiaoxiao, let help you."
Seeing Mo Xiuchen being so attentive and caring toward Wen Ran, ng Ke wanted to imitate him, but Bai Xiaoxiao refused him.
"Ranran, you said earlier you had sothing to tell , what is it?"
Mo Xiuchen poured a cup of hot water for Wen Ran, and after she used it to warm her hands, he gently asked.
When Wen Ran gave birth to Momo and Ziyi, during her confinent, she didn’t recover well because Momo was kidnapped by Cheng Jia.
Her health wasn’t very good.
Recently, Wen Ran has been taking dication to recuperate.
Upon hearing Mo Xiuchen’s words, Wen Ran looked up at ng Ke, who was seated next to Bai Xiaoxiao.
Calmly, she said, "Xiuchen, actually I’m not very clear on this matter, ng Ke seems to know more."
"Huh?"
ng Ke, suddenly being ntioned, looked at Wen Ran sowhat puzzled.
Wen Ran smiled faintly, "Just after you and Xiaoxiao left the hospital room, I chatted with Xu Wanqi for a bit. Out of concern, I asked her who hurt her that night."
She intentionally paused here.
Sure enough, she saw a slight change in ng Ke’s expression.
"And then?"
Mo Xiuchen’s sharp eyes swept over the slightly changed expression of ng Ke, tenderly gazing at Wen Ran.
Wen Ran pouted, "Then, there was nothing more."
Sitting across from them, the corner of Gu Kai’s mouth twitched.
Bai Xiaoxiao added, "Didn’t you say earlier that Xu Wanqi and Xu Wanfei suspect that it was Xiuchen who sent soone to take revenge on her?"
Wen Ran didn’t want to involve Bai Xiaoxiao.
Therefore, she didn’t ntion that it was Bai Xiaoxiao who said it.
But Xu Wanqi only wanted ng Ke to believe that Xiuchen did it.
She wouldn’t say anything too excessive in front of Wen Ran.
Wen Ran only intended to start the topic, hoping ng Ke would continue, but she was a bit surprised when Bai Xiaoxiao took over her words.
ng Ke intended to feign ignorance of Wen Ran’s words.
But Bai Xiaoxiao’s straightforwardness left him montarily embarrassed and at a loss for words.
Speaking in front of Mo Xiuchen, ntioning Xu Wanqi’s suspicions of him...
"Oh?"
Mo Xiuchen’s tone slightly rose, his handso eyebrows slightly arching.
ng Ke explained with a wry smile, "Mo General, don’t misunderstand, Wanqi didn’t an it that way. She just felt guilty ever since nearly scalding Mrs. Mo that day..."
"Boss ng, Xu Wanqi isn’t just an employee at your travel agency; I hear she’s your junior. You’re bound to know her better than us."
Mo Xiuchen held Wen Ran’s hand, gently stroking the back of her hand with the other, his words casual.
ng Ke’s face changed as he heard this.
"However, since Xu Wanqi suspects and has ntioned it to Boss ng, to prove my innocence, this matter should be thoroughly investigated."
"Xiuchen, my brother already called Brother Lu earlier."
Wen Ran smiled reassuringly, not wanting these ssy issues to anger Xiuchen.
"That’s good, seems like Ranran understands after all."
The gloom on Mo Xiuchen’s face dissipated instantly, his brows relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his handso face.
Bai Xiaoxiao, seeing ng Ke’s awkward expression, thought for a mont and gently said, "Thoroughly investigating is a good idea. No matter who the person is, hurting Xu Wanqi is a fact, and they should face legal consequences."
"Hmm."
ng Ke smiled gently, Bai Xiaoxiao’s comforting words were more effective than anything else.
After eating, ng Ke insisted on driving Bai Xiaoxiao back to the company.
Gu Kai took Tongtong ho, while Wen Ran went back to the company with Mo Xiuchen.
"Xiaoxiao, was it you who told Wen Ran that Wanqi suspected Mo Xiuchen?"
As they drove on the road, ng Ke hesitantly asked.
In the passenger seat, Bai Xiaoxiao, feeling bored, casually opened the storage box in front of her. When she saw the contents, a slight surprise flashed in her eyes.
She replied perfunctorily to ng Ke, "Yes, I asked Ranran if it was Mo Xiuchen who sent soone."
Perhaps sensing sothing strange in her voice, ng Ke turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, taking out a box from inside, a box of twelve Durex; if it hadn’t been opened, she wouldn’t have looked.
But this box was obviously opened, and the flap wasn’t properly closed.
Out of curiosity, Bai Xiaoxiao opened the box that wasn’t initially closed.
Inside, one of the twelve condoms was missing.
"Xiaoxiao, this..."
Seeing the condom Bai Xiaoxiao took out from the box, ng Ke was so shocked that he forgot to watch the road, nearly hitting the guardrail.
"Careful driving."
The sudden jolt caused the box in Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand to fall to her foot.
"I’m sorry, Xiaoxiao."
Thankfully, danger was averted, and ng Ke steadied the car, gripping the steering wheel more tightly due to the earlier tension.
"What are you sorry for, this?"
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him with a teasing smile.
She wasn’t angry; in fact, she didn’t believe that it was ng Ke’s.
Nor did she believe that ng Ke would use these and leave them in the car.
ng Ke looked at the condom in Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand, his face changing color, "Xiaoxiao, these aren’t mine."
"I know, if I’m not mistaken, it should be Xu Wanqi who put them in your car."
Bai Xiaoxiao said, putting the items back into the box and placing it back in the storage compartnt.
ng Ke frowned, recalling the ti he had dinner with Xu Wanqi that night.
If Xu Wanqi put it there, when did she do it?
How did he not know?
"Xiaoxiao, Wanqi isn’t that type of person. Although she likes , she has always loved silently, and definitely wouldn’t put such things in my car."
In ng Ke’s heart, Xu Wanqi was still a decent woman.
At least, before Bai Xiaoxiao returned to the country, Xu Wanqi and he had always gotten along well.
He naturally knew of Xu Wanqi’s admiration for him, but since she didn’t explicitly state it, he pretended not to know, enjoying her admiration.
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled at ng Ke, "Then who else besides Xu Wanqi rode in your car?"
"Yaoyao has ridden in it."
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at ng Ke and said no more.
She didn’t know why ng Ke was quick to defend Xu Wanqi, but she calmly pulled out her phone and dialed Li Shi Yao’s number.
"Xiaoxiao, who are you calling?"
"I’m calling Shi Yao to ask her why on earth she’d use such things and leave them in your car."
Bai Xiaoxiao’s words fell, and ng Ke’s face changed again, "Xiaoxiao, Yaoyao is not a child anymore; she’s already twenty-one."
"But she shouldn’t be leaving them in your car either."
Bai Xiaoxiao said, suddenly narrowing her eyes and sharply looking at ng Ke, "ng Ke, these aren’t actually yours, are they?"
"Of course not."
ng Ke denied without hesitation.
