Hu Ke fell asleep peacefully, but Bai Xiao could not sleep at all.

He went to look for Wen Huai and made a request to meet the bartender. However, Wen Huai rejected him on the grounds that he had no right to interfere with the freedom of others.

In the end, Bai Xiao applied for a five million yuan card before he was considered to be the VIP of the year. Wen Huai’s eyes were about to disappear from laughter. She expressed that he would definitely contact Bai Xiao the next time the bartender came and give him a special cocktail every month.

Zhang Rong looked at the card in Bai Xiao’s hand enviously and said slowly, “Young Master Bai, you really have a lot of face. This card is given out to people who are pleasing to the eye. I didn’t expect you to buy it.”

Bai Xiao was in a good mood after receiving his card. He stood up, tidied up his clothes, and prepared to go home. “It’s fine. You can save the damsel in distress next time. Then, you can get it.”

Hu Ke spent a day and a night peacefully in 1943. She felt that this was not a bad way to live. She planned to tell Wen Huai that she would stay here for a while longer. Unexpectedly, she received a message from Hu Lai just after dinner.

[Where are you? Come back and pack your things and bring them to the Bai family! Don’t let Bai Xiao complain about you not coming home at night again!]

Hu Ke let out a long sigh. She was really confused. What was going on in Bai Xiao’s mind?

He was the one who told her to get lost, and he was also the one who complained to her brother. Fortunately, Bai Xiao was born into a wealthy family. If he was an ordinary person with such a personality, he would have been beaten to death countless times.

Hu Ke went home and packed her things. In fact, she only had a few clothes and some small ornaments. In less than half an hour, she was done.

Hu Lai crossed her arms and stood at the door to look at her. When she was about to leave, he suddenly instructed, “Use your methods to please Bai Xiao in the Bai family and strive to maximize the benefits you can bring. Don’t stand there like a block of wood every day.”

Ever since Hu Ke saw Hu Lai’s true appearance, she had not given him a good look. When she heard him say this, she ignored him and rolled her eyes before getting into the car and heading towards Bai Xiao’s house.

She saw Hu Lai stomping his feet in anger and helplessness in the rearview mirror and smiled. Suddenly, she thought of a sentence: I like it when you can’t stand me but can’t kill me.

Just like that, Hu Ke started a life of minding her own business with Bai Xiao around.

Every day, Hu Ke would arrange flowers and draw, and from time to time, she would go to 1943 to take a look. Her coffee alcohol had been developed, and Wen Huai praised it after tasting it. It was also very popular in the bar after it went on the market.

Bian Fang realized that Hu Ke was like a small animal that was easy to raise. She was not picky about food, but she did not eat much. Thinking that Hu Ke was still pregnant, Bian Fang finally could not help but tell Bai Xiao about this.

Bai Xiao was so busy every day that he was elusive. He did not look like the CEO of a listed company at all. Instead, he looked like a tragic worker. In fact, Bai Xiao knew very well that he was avoiding all possible contact with Hu Ke.

Ever since he found out that Hu Ke was mute at the bar, Bai Xiao had asked his assistant to help him investigate.

The conclusion was that Hu Ke’s congenital vocal cords had been damaged and she had been unable to speak since she was young.

Bai Xiao recalled how he had mocked Hu Ke for being mute many times. For a moment, he had mixed feelings. He could not bring himself to apologize to Hu Ke, so he simply hid away.

When Bian Fang told him that Hu Ke was pregnant but could not eat much, Bai Xiao was still in a daze.

He suddenly realized that he had not seen Hu Ke for a week. Bai Xiao pursed his lips and looked at the time. He called his assistant and asked him to make an appointment for the next day’s pregnancy test.

Take it as a little compensation, Bai Xiao comforted himself.

Hu Ke woke up at nine in the morning every day. After washing up, she went downstairs for breakfast and was surprised to see Bai Xiao drinking coffee with a newspaper.

Hu Ke stopped in her tracks, not knowing if she should go over.

Bai Xiao seemed to have sensed something. He looked up and met Hu Ke’s gaze. He put down the cup and glanced at his watch. “Go change your clothes and follow me to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.”

Hearing him say this, Hu Ke remembered that she had been pregnant for more than a month, but she had yet to go to the hospital for a checkup.

It seemed that Bai Xiao had already arranged everything, so she did not reject him anymore. She had just woken up and had not eaten breakfast, so it did not take long for her to take a blood test.

The two of them tidied up and were about to leave when Bian Fang chased after them and stuffed a bottle of milk and a sandwich into Hu Ke’s hands. She said with a smile, “There’s a lot of blood drawn during the pregnancy test. You can eat after the checkup. Otherwise, you’ll easily have low blood sugar.”

After interacting with her for the past few days, Bian Fang’s impression of Hu Ke had changed greatly. She began to gradually like this strong and sensible girl, not to mention that she was pregnant.

Bai Xiao looked at her actions and did not say anything. He only reminded Hu Ke to fasten her seatbelt after getting into the car.
