Chapter 1671 Explanation Is a Cover-Up
1st cover
Meng Ke reached out and held her hand, "Xiaoxiao, your hands are very cold. Get in the car first and let's find a warm place to talk."
Bai Xiaoxiao took his hand and didn't struggle. He just smiled and said, "Your hands are not warm either."
"Yeah, so let's find a warm place and have something to eat with me."
"have not you eaten?"
Bai Xiaoxiao blinked and looked at Meng Ke in surprise.
When he called in the afternoon, he said he had gotten off the plane.
It's been a few hours and he hasn't eaten yet?
"Get in the car first."
Meng Ke smiled, turned around, opened the car door, and half-pushed her into the car.
Bai Xiaoxiao took out the hand he was holding and bent down to get into the car. Meng Ke then walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat.
As soon as I got in the car, I immediately turned on the air conditioner.
Ten minutes later, Meng Ke and Bai Xiaoxiao sat in the warm restaurant.
Because it is a private room, it is very quiet.
Meng Ke ordered a few dishes, all of which Bai Xiaoxiao liked, "I've eaten and I'm not hungry at all. Just order what you want."
"What I ordered was what I ate."
Meng Ke's words left Bai Xiaoxiao speechless.
"Xiaoxiao, why is my aunt here with you?" Meng Ke poured a glass of boiling water for each of them and asked casually.
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed and she asked instead, "What about you? How come it's been a few hours and you haven't had dinner yet."
"I was catching up on my sleep and wanted to wait for you to have dinner with me. When I woke up, I saw it was past eight o'clock, so I drove to find you."
A trace of doubt flashed in Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"How did you know that I would go home so early?"
"Guess."
"Meng Ke, did you know that I'm having dinner at Xiao Yuting's house tonight?"
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Meng Ke's half-smiling expression and asked calmly.
Other than that, she couldn't figure out why Meng Ke went to look for her at home, after she told him that she had a social occasion.
And, don’t call her.
When he reached out to hold her hand, his palm was not warm.
It means that he stood in the night for a long time.
"Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Meng Ke smiled. He actually knew that he was waiting for Bai Xiaoxiao there, and with her intelligence, she would definitely guess it.
"How do you know? It wasn't my dad who told you, right?"
Bai Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and gently touched the cup with her hand. Because it was boiling water, the scorching heat made her retract her hand after just touching it.
Meng Ke shook his head, "Xiao Xiao, my uncle didn't tell me, but I knew you were having dinner at Xiao Yuting's house, but I didn't know that my aunt was there too."
"Who told you that?"
Bai Xiaoxiao was even more confused.
It's not like everyone knew that she went to Xiao Yuting's house for dinner. She didn't tell her, and her father didn't tell him. It couldn't have been Xiao Yuting who told him.
"Could it be Xiao Yuting?"
Bai Xiaoxiao told her inner guess, Meng Ke just smiled and said, "This is not important. What is important is that I know where to find you."
Meng Ke's answer undoubtedly convinced Bai Xiaoxiao that it was Xiao Yuting who told him.
This is not impossible. Xiao Yuting's displeasure with Meng Ke is obvious.
The waiter brought the dishes here. Meng Ke asked Bai Xiaoxiao to eat some too, and thoughtfully served her some dishes. Bai Xiaoxiao stopped continuing the topic.
"Xiaoxiao, when I was waiting for you just now, I was still thinking about what I would do if you ignored me. Now that you are not angry, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
"Why should I ignore you."
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Meng Ke with a smile.
A trace of apology flashed in Meng Ke's eyes, he put down his chopsticks, looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with gentle and focused eyes, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry about Xu Wanqi. I didn't expect that she would go to you."
"I didn't expect that either."
Bai Xiaoxiao's indifferent tone made Meng Ke a little uneasy.
"She hasn't seen you, has she?"
"No, she left after you called me. When I returned to the company, she had already left."
Having said this, Bai Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of shrimp meat and put it into her mouth, and said slowly, "She still listens to what you say."
"Xiao Xiao."
The smile on Meng Ke's face froze, and his expression felt awkward for a moment.
He didn't know if Bai Xiaoxiao's words had any profound meaning.
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Don't be nervous. You are her boss after all. Although you want to fire her, she has not received her salary and has not left. She must listen to your words."
The implication is that Xu Wanqi is afraid that he will not pay her.
Meng Ke couldn't help but laugh.
"Xiaoxiao, there is something I need to tell you."
"What's up?"
Bai Xiaoxiao swallowed the shrimp in her mouth, picked up the drinkable water, and took a sip gently.
"I met Xu Wanqi in the afternoon and asked her to continue working at the travel agency."
When Meng Ke said this, he looked at Bai Xiaoxiao intently.
Observe every subtle change in her expression.
It seemed that he was afraid that she would be angry because of this.
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled softly, "You don't need to tell me this. She is an employee of your travel agency. As the boss, why should you ask me as an outsider when making decisions?"
"Xiaoxiao, you are not an outsider."
Meng Ke suddenly straightened his expression.
He looked at Bai Xiaoxiao seriously.
Bai Xiaoxiao was startled.
Meng Ke looked at her with eyes that seemed to be shining brightly, and said word for word, "Xiaoxiao, you will be my lover, wife, the boss of the travel agency in the future. I don't want anyone in the travel agency to let you uncomfortable."
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't speak, just pursed her lips slightly.
This is not the first time Meng Ke has talked about their future.
In fact, since she returned to China, Meng Ke often told her that they would get married and live together in the future.
But she couldn't picture it in her mind.
"So, although I kept Xu Wanqi, I also warned her not to be rude to you or disrespect you in the future. She just doesn't take me as the boss seriously."
"Meng Ke, you really don't have to do this."
Bai Xiaoxiao sighed softly and her voice sounded softly.
Meng Ke shook his head, his serious expression softened a little, and a hint of warmth rose in his eyes, "Xiao Xiao, whether it is Xu Wanqi or anyone else, as long as they disrespect you, they disrespect me."
"If similar things happen in the future, you don't have to avoid them. Just call me directly and I will handle it."
Meng Ke's words made Bai Xiaoxiao smile.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Meng Ke, "You mean, there are many more peach blossoms like Xu Wanqi?"
"of course not."
Meng Ke shook his head hastily, regretting what he just said.
Bai Xiaoxiao was amused by his appearance. She leaned back in the chair and looked at him with a smile, "Hurry up and eat. Don't explain, because explanation is just a cover-up."
Meng Ke was dazzled by Bai Xiaoxiao's bright smile.
He smiled casually and said cheerfully, "Okay, I won't explain or cover up."
