Wen Huai could not help but reach out and rub Zhang Rong’s hair. Then, he said to Bai Xiao, “Fox is already here. She rejected the suggestion to meet you. She’s mixing drinks at her workplace now. A waiter will send it up later.”

Bai Xiao nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. The three of them sat and waited.

In the end, Wen Huai could not hold it in anymore. She was really curious about why Bai Xiao would be so kind as to help Hu Ke.

As far as she knew, the Bai family members were not philanthropists. Marrying Hu Ke would not bring them any substantial help. Wen Huai was about to ask when there was a knock on the door of the private room. It was the waiter who had brought the mixed alcohol over. Wen Huai could only hold back her words.

There were three different drinks on the tray: Tequila Sunrise, Margarita, and B-52.

Wen Huai knew at a glance that they were all made by Hu Ke. She was a little angry about not asking her to just make a cup. In any case, Zhang Rong could not taste the difference, and she could drink it whenever she wanted.

Hu Ke was still pregnant. It would be troublesome if something happened to her if she mixed three glasses of alcohol alone.

“Mr. Bai, you can choose first.” Wen Huai smiled at Bai Xiao. Zhang Rong seemed to have woken up after a long time. He looked at the three glasses of alcohol without fighting for them and waited for Bai Xiao’s choice.

“The bomber is ready. Zhang Rong, this kid, should drink the margarita. If he continues to drink hard liquor, he won’t be able to go home tonight. His father can break his legs seeing him drink like this.”

Bai Xiao was amused and reached out to take the cup of B-52.

B-52, the most famous shot cocktail in the world. Light your drink before you drink it and drain it through a straw.

After taking a sip, Bai Xiao began to enjoy the joy of his taste recovery. The lowest level of coffee liqueur was cold, and the coffee fragrance that slowly rose after cutting through his throat was just enough to neutralize the smell of Irish milk alcohol. The top level of citrus alcohol was lit. Unlike the base alcohol on the bottom two levels, it swept through his entire mouth with a scorching temperature, unleashing a wondrous experience of ice and fire in his mouth.

This time, it took longer for his taste buds to recover than before. Bai Xiao, who was frustrated by An Wen and the matter with Hu Ke, finally felt happy. Only when his taste buds disappeared did he stand up and walk out.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Boss Wen. Help me thank Fox for the alcohol. Zhang Rong’s driver will pick him up later. I’ll take my leave first.” Bai Xiao pushed open the door and seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at Wen Huai.

“I hope we can work well together in the future.”

After Hu Ke made the alcohol, she went to Wen Huai’s office to wait for her. However, she did not know if it was because of her pregnancy, but Hu Ke, who had just woken up, started to feel sleepy again. She really could not take it anymore. After yawning, she sent a message to Wen Huai.

[I’ll go back upstairs to sleep first. I’ll speak to you tomorrow .]

Wen Huai replied very quickly.

[Okay baby, love you, good night!]

Hu Ke stretched lazily and walked towards the elevator. She had just taken two steps out of Wen Huai’s office when she heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

“Why are you here again?”

Bai Xiao reasonably suspected that Hu Ke had installed a locator on him. Otherwise, why would he meet her every time?

Hu Ke was also speechless. She was thinking about the possibility of getting Wen Huai to build a special passageway for her. Every time she came to 1943, she would meet Bai Xiao. It was simply an ill fate.

“Hu Ke, I told you not to use this method to try to attract my attention. I won’t fall in love with you, and I can’t be with you forever. If you insist on pestering me like this, we can only end up making each other unhappy.”

Bai Xiao frowned. He remembered that when he went out, the door of this woman’s room was tightly shut. Now that he had left for less than three hours, she met him at the bar very ‘coincidentally’.

Bai Xiao did not think that it was an accident. Coupled with his initial impression of Hu Ke, it was directly attributed to Hu Ke wanting to constantly create coincidences to make him fall in love with her.

“Stop reading romance novels. It’s impossible to fall in love with each other after a few encounters. You’re already in your twenties. If you were in ancient times, you would have gone to school. Don’t use such a stupid method to attract my attention.” Bai Xiao walked towards Hu Ke step by step and finally forced her to lean against the wall.
