Chapter 1612: Chapter 1611: Decisive Battle to the Death
“Hey, Mom!”
Luo Haofeng’s indifferent tone echoed in the driver’s seat. His tall body leaned back against the seat, his long, charming eyes lazily closing.
On the other end, Mother Luo heard her son’s lack of enthusiasm and imdiately changed to a loving mother’s tone, “Ah Feng, is it that you’re not satisfied with this blind date? It’s okay, don’t force yourself if you’re not happy; this is for life.”
Luo Haofeng sneered inwardly.
Really, he didn’t understand how his mother could so easily offer such comforting words, telling him not to force himself?
Wasn’t she forcing him by setting up blind dates every day?
“I’m already out, Mom. I have so urgent business and need to take a trip. This afternoon’s blind date is canceled; let’s reschedule for tomorrow. I’ll make sure to co back by tomorrow morning.”
Luo Haofeng’s calm tone carried an undeniable authority.
His mother was stunned on the other end of the phone.
She was puzzled why Luo Haofeng suddenly had a trip or even suspected that he was using this as an excuse to avoid the blind date.
But she didn’t dare to ask.
Afraid of angering her son and him not cooperating like before.
“Alright, I’ll call Mrs. Zou and let her know to inform the other party. If we change it to tomorrow, there will be three then.”
Mother Luo appeared very understanding.
Luo Haofeng said indifferently, “No problem, I’ll et them all tomorrow.”
***
In G City, at the airport.
Bai Xiaoxiao and Wen Ran had just got in the car when her phone rang again.
Seeing the caller, Bai Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and lazily answered, “Hello.”
“Xiaoxiao, I’ve booked a room at Yi Pin Xuan, and also inford your parents. I’m on my way to pick up your mother, while your father will head straight to Yi Pin Xuan from the office.”
On the phone, ng Ke’s voice ca cheerfully.
The reason for choosing Yi Pin Xuan was that it was a subsidiary of the Haochen Group.
ng Ke thought that if Wen Ran were to welco Bai Xiaoxiao back, it would likely be at Yi Pin Xuan.
Because it was a frequent gathering place for their group, he knew a bit about it.
A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes, “Why did you book a room? I told you not to inform my parents.”
“Xiaoxiao, I didn’t tell your parents, don’t worry. What I promised you, I won’t fail to do.”
ng Ke’s voice carried a hint of amusent, not at all upset by Bai Xiaoxiao’s reproach.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt slightly depressed, but seeing that ng Ke spoke to this extent, as his girlfriend, she couldn’t be ungrateful, “Okay, I got it, I’ll head over in a bit.”
“Great, see you soon.”
ng Ke couldn’t hide his excitent.
“Ranran, ng Ke booked a room at Yi Pin Xuan and even told my parents.” After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaoxiao explained briefly.
“Yi Pin Xuan?”
Sitting opposite, Mo Xiuchen picked up the conversation with a slightly raised tone showing his surprise, but the smile on his lips conveyed another layer of aning.
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, “Yes, at Yi Pin Xuan.”
“Seems like ng Ke really has put thought into it for you.”
Mo Xiuchen teased.
“He knew I returned to the country, booking a room to welco back is normal. How did that beco putting thought into it in your view?”
Bai Xiaoxiao retorted, understanding a bit herself, but unwilling to admit it.
Her feelings towards ng Ke were becoming more conflicted.
Initially, her agreent to date ng Ke wasn’t solely because of his kindness but also an important reason being that her parents liked ng Ke.
Mother Bai kept nagging her, saying that feelings can be cultivated. When she married her father, she didn’t love him, but after decades together, love developed.
Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes narrowed slightly, not missing the fleeting emotion in Bai Xiaoxiao’s lowered gaze.
“Of course, with so many hotels and restaurants in G City, ng Ke specifically chose Yi Pin Xuan, simply because it’s under the Haochen Group.”
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao look up at him again, Mo Xiuchen gently glanced at Wen Ran, “ng Ke probably guessed that if Ranran were to welco you back, we’d also choose Yi Pin Xuan. Booking Yi Pin Xuan wouldn’t go wrong either way.”
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled without saying a word.
Mo Xiuchen didn’t continue further after making his point.
Momo looked up at Bai Xiaoxiao, and after a mont, reached out with a small hand to gently tug at her clothes, and called out in a childish voice, “Godmother.”
Bai Xiaoxiao imdiately answered with a beaming smile, “Ah, Momo, co let godmother hug you.”
“Xiaoxiao, it’s good that ng Ke booked a room at Yi Pin Xuan. Xiuchen already called this morning, and we’re also heading to Yi Pin Xuan for lunch.”
Wen Ran sensed Bai Xiaoxiao’s emotional fluctuation and gently reassured her.
Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to say sothing but was interrupted by Mo Xiuchen’s sudden ringing phone.
Mo Xiuchen slightly leaned forward and pulled out his phone.
Sitting next to him, Wen Ran turned her head to look and was slightly startled upon seeing the caller display on his phone screen.
She looked up at Mo Xiuchen again.
Mo Xiuchen gave her a gentle smile, pressed the answer button with a long finger, and casually uttered a monosyllabic, “Hey!”
“Xiuchen, gather Ah Jin, Ah Kai, and the others. This afternoon, we’re going to settle this once and for all.”
Luo Haofeng’s voice was full of tension, drilling into Mo Xiuchen’s ear through the phone, making him frown as a certain speculation he’d had last night ca to mind again.
“How do you want to settle this?”
He chuckled, lazily inquired.
“I’m on my way to the airport now; I’ll arrive in G City this afternoon. The money I lost last ti, I intend to win it back this ti.”
“I don’t feel like playing cards this afternoon.” Mo Xiuchen’s eyes swept over Bai Xiaoxiao before turning to look out the car window.
Although Bai Xiaoxiao was sitting opposite, the space in the car was limited.
In such a sealed environnt, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t hear what was being said on the other end, yet the mont she heard the first note, her heart clenched.
She suddenly thought of that ssage again.
Uncertain of the content of the ssage from that person.
Mo Xiuchen, with an ambiguous smile at the corners of his mouth, listened to Luo Haofeng on the other side of the phone, “I’m not here to find you to play cards, this afternoon we’re changing our gambling thod, heading to the gym.”
“Haha, the gym, are you going to compete in abs?”
Mo Xiuchen’s laugh carried a touch of teasing in its deep tone.
What he really wanted to say was another line: Really, it’s difficult for you to co up with such an excuse to visit G City just to see your beloved.
“Xiuchen, don’t take that tone, as if I’ll definitely lose to you. Hurry and call Ah Jin, get Ah Mu over too, he should have healed from his injuries after resting for so long.”
“If you lose this afternoon, how about convincing Ah Mu to return to work at the company?”
A calculating smile flashed in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes; Ah Mu indeed had been resting for quite a while, watching him and An Lin not having to work, spending all day in love, made him quite dissatisfied.
Luo Haofeng seed very confident in himself and agreed to his request without a second thought, “Alright!”
