Capítulo 1788: Chapter 1787: I’ll Wait for You Outside
Qiao Xiuyun didn’t quite understand the aning behind Bai Xiaoxiao’s words.
She couldn’t help but frown, looking at her in confusion.
Bai Xiaoxiao thought about the situation at that ti, and still felt uncomfortable, “In the past, ng Ke was always a very polite person, but that day when I told him I wanted to break up, he was not only forceful but also threatened , saying that he not only wouldn’t break up, but also wanted to marry .”
“Perhaps it was just a mont of impulsivity, and his emotions were running high, which is quite normal.”
Mother Bai felt that this wasn’t enough to prove anything.
“Mom, but Qing Yang’s injury might be related to ng Ke.”
Bai Xiaoxiao trusted the judgnt of Mo Xiuchen and the others.
Besides, ng Ke went on a business trip with Xu Wanqi without telling her, which already made him dishonest.
“He was hospitalized today, didn’t Xu Wanqi visit him at the hospital?”
Mother Bai suddenly thought of sothing and looked fixedly at Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, “Xu Wanqi didn’t go today, which I also find strange. How could she not visit when she knows ng Ke is in the hospital?”
A flash of insight struck, and Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “Mom, it’s getting late, you should go to your room and rest.”
After Mother Bai left, Bai Xiaoxiao imdiately dialed Wen Ran’s phone number.
The phone rang a few tis before Wen Ran’s gentle and cheerful voice ca through, “Hello, Xiaoxiao.”
“Ranran, I just thought of sothing.”
“What is it?”
Faint sounds of several children could be heard over the phone, making it clear that Wen Ran was accompanying them.
“Today ng Ke got injured, logically Xu Wanqi should have visited him at the hospital, but she didn’t.”
“Are you sure?”
Wen Ran hadn’t gone to the hospital afterwards, so she didn’t know.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s tone was certain, “I’m sure. When I ca back in the evening, I happened to run into Gu Kai, who told that Xu Wanqi never went to the hospital.”
“Xiaoxiao, do you think this is abnormal?”
Bai Xiaoxiao gave a sound of affirmation over the phone, “Xu Wanqi likes ng Ke so much that she’s willing to risk her life for him. How is it possible that she wouldn’t visit him at the hospital?”
This is certainly abnormal.
“Ranran, tell Lu Zhiyan, maybe he can start investigating Xu Wanqi.”
ng Ke went to the M country with Xu Wanqi. If there’s sothing wrong with him, wouldn’t there also be a problem with Xu Wanqi?
Wen Ran chuckled softly over the phone, “Xiaoxiao, don’t worry, Mo Xiuchen has already had soone keep an eye on Xu Wanqi.”
In fact, ever since Xu Wanqi returned from her business trip with ng Ke, they had been keeping an eye on her.
Apparently, Xu Wanqi hadn’t shown any signs of unusual behavior.
She’s been recuperating at ho every day.
Occasionally, she’s been out shopping.
However, she has been in contact with ng Ke.
Those whom Mo Xiuchen dispatched hadn’t seen any intimate behavior between Xu Wanqi and ng Ke, but there was one night when Xu Wanqi didn’t return ho.
The kidnapping case didn’t stop everyone from celebrating the New Year.
Only the police continued the investigation; on New Year’s Eve, Gu Kai and his father, Gu Yan, also took a day off.
As usual, everyone gathered at Mo Xiuchen’s house.
His place had beco the default gathering spot.
On New Year’s Eve, the Mo family’s ho was bustling.
After the annual New Year’s Eve dinner, Wen Ran called Bai Xiaoxiao, inviting her to co over.
At that ti, Bai Xiaoxiao had dinner with her parents and was sitting in the living room watching the Spring Festival Gala together.
This was a longstanding tradition for her family.
In recent years abroad, Bai Xiaoxiao hadn’t been able to watch the gala with her parents.
Upon hearing Wen Ran’s words, Bai Xiaoxiao turned to look at Mr. Bai and Mother Bai beside her and said, “Dad, Mom, Ranran invited over to her house. She said a few of the kids miss .”
Bai Xiaoxiao indeed had a way with kids, and those few children indeed adored her.
Mother Bai frowned slightly, “Xiaoxiao, aren’t you going to watch TV with us?”
“Xiuyun, just let Xiaoxiao go. Young people have their own activities. I’ll watch TV with you.”
Mr. Bai spoke while reaching for the fruit platter nearby and offered Mother Bai so fruit.
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly, “Mom, I don’t want to interrupt your and Dad’s couple ti. Ziyi is already working to keep Qingqing at his place, I’ll just go and see how he’s taking care of Qingqing.”
Mr. Bai gestured with a wave of his hand, “Off you go, off you go. It’s New Year’s Eve, you have the night off, so play as long as you want without rushing back.”
Bai Xiaoxiao happily thanked her parents, then got up to hug them before bouncing upstairs to get dressed.
Having received the green light to head out, Bai Xiaoxiao felt an indescribable thrill in her heart.
The most delightful thing was that her father said she didn’t have to hurry back tonight. The thought of soon seeing Luo Haofeng filled her entire heart with sweetness and happiness.
Her phone suddenly rang, and Bai Xiaoxiao placed her picked-out clothes on the bed before answering.
“Xiaoxiao, no need to drive, I’m waiting outside.”
The call was from Luo Haofeng, and his voice on this winter night sounded exceptionally warm and gentle, like a warm stream gently flowing into her heart.
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t find the words to describe her emotions, she just felt imnsely happy at this mont, “Okay, I’ll be right down.”
She changed into her outfit, glanced at herself in the mirror, hesitated, then sat down to put on so makeup.
She just simply touched up her brows and the like, but it made her look even more beautiful.
Luo Haofeng was waiting outside her villa, unconcerned that her parents might co out to see him.
As soon as Bai Xiaoxiao walked out of the house, she saw him standing under a tree, his tall figure stretched long by the moonlight.
From a distance, she couldn’t make out the expression on his face, but she could tell he was smiling.
That smile was gentle and handso, making her heart beat faster just from his smile, under the dim moonlight, with the shadows cast by the dim streetlamp.
Luo Haofeng’s gaze was fixed on Bai Xiaoxiao’s figure.
He watched her without blinking as she walked towards him.
The closer she got, the broader his smile beca.
When Bai Xiaoxiao was just two steps away from him, the air around her was already replaced by his scent, a mature masculine scent that perated her senses.
Her small hand was suddenly enveloped by a large one, and the man’s handso features reflected in her clear water-like eyes, surrounded by his familiar scent, Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyebrows and eyes were unconsciously tinged with a sweet smile.
“Xiaoxiao, get in the car first.”
Luo Haofeng’s eyes deepened.
Holding Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand, he walked her to the car parked a few steps away, opened the door for her, and let her sit in the passenger seat.
He moved around the car to the driver’s side, got in, then turned to pull Bai Xiaoxiao over in the passenger seat before lowering his head to kiss her deeply on the lips.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s breath caught.
Her eyes widened in surprise.
The air inside the car seed to be suddenly sucked out, intimacy ebbing and flowing, filling the entire car interior.
