Wen Ran couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Looking at Mo Xiuchen’s proud look, she couldn’t resist teasing him a bit, "Xiuchen, are you so confident, knowing that Ziyi will definitely make money?"
Mo Xiuchen leaned down slightly, his thin lips kissing Wen Ran’s fair cheek, and amidst her playful scolding, he happily said, "Of course, Ziyi is my son, I know him well."
"So you said, within a week he’ll co to you again, but tomorrow is the third day already."
Wen Ran laughed while pushing Mo Xiuchen.
Mo Xiuchen responded, "He will find us." Then he cupped her small face...
...
When Luo Haofeng’s call ca in, it was already ten in the evening.
Bai Xiaoxiao had read a dozen pages of a book and was watching a variety show to pass the ti.
When her phone rang, she was nestled in the sofa, holding the remote in her hand.
She put down the remote, picked up the phone, and seeing the caller ID, she pouted slightly in displeasure. She had initially thought of letting the phone ring until it stopped and answering on the second call.
But now, her hand moved without her brain’s permission, pressing the answer button without her brain’s consent.
"Xiaoxiao, I had a social event tonight, just finished..."
"You’re not ho yet?"
All of Bai Xiaoxiao’s impatience from waiting dissipated with Luo Haofeng’s explanation.
The voice that ca out was filled with care and tenderness even she couldn’t believe.
In her ear, Luo Haofeng’s pleasant laugh ca, deep and resonant, carrying a warmth absent in this winter, "Mm, I just got in the car, heading ho."
"Are you driving yourself? Have you been drinking?"
"Xiaoxiao, I’m not driving myself, don’t worry, I drink very little now, tonight I only had two drinks and smoked two cigarettes."
Luo Haofeng dutifully reported to her how much he drank and smoked that night.
This felt like a husband on a business trip reporting his situation to his wife.
A subtle warmth spread through the phone, reaching both ends of the line.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes unconsciously filled with a smile as she teased, "I didn’t ask you to report how much you drank or smoked."
"Xiaoxiao, I’ve decided, from now on, I’ll tell you everything I do each day."
Luo Haofeng laughed joyously on the other end of the line.
Xiaoxiao hadn’t asked him to do that, but he wanted to.
He liked letting Xiaoxiao know about his every mont. Even though they were miles apart, he didn’t want to be like other couples in a long-distance relationship.
He wanted to make their love different from others.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt warm inside, her voice becoming even more tender, "You might as well just put a bug on yourself."
"Do you need it? Then I’ll buy one and put it on soday."
Luo Haofeng’s reply made Bai Xiaoxiao laugh.
She hadn’t t Luo Haofeng face-to-face, only talked over the phone, yet he could easily make her feel happy and joyful.
This feeling was sothing she would never have with ng Ke.
Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng chatted idly for an hour. Over the phone, she heard Luo Haofeng get out of the car and the sound of opening the door.
Luo Haofeng told her over the phone, "Xiaoxiao, I’m ho now, the villa I brought you to that night."
Then, he sat on the sofa she had sat on last ti, lazily and comfortably chatting with her.
It seed like they had endless topics to talk about, or perhaps they didn’t need any topics at all.
Chatting casually, bit by bit, ti flew by quickly.
"Xiaoxiao, it’s eleven, you should go to sleep."
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao’s first reaction was reluctance.
She pressed her lips lightly, speaking in a soft voice, "You go take a shower first."
"You sleep first, I’ll take a shower and go to bed too."
Luo Haofeng also didn’t want to hang up the phone, but it was very late now, he couldn’t let Xiaoxiao stay up chatting with him until the early hours.
"Goodnight."
"Xiaoxiao, if you can’t sleep now, wait for ten more minutes, I’ll take a quick shower."
Just as Bai Xiaoxiao was about to hang up, Luo Haofeng called out to her again.
A soft ’Ok’ slipped out from her red lips, and Bai Xiaoxiao took the phone back to bed.
The call didn’t end.
She heard Luo Haofeng put down the phone and footsteps leaving. He should be finding pajamas, then going to the bathroom, she heard the sound of water.
Until Luo Haofeng’s voice ca back to her ear, lower and a bit hoarse, as he whispered her na softly, "Xiaoxiao, I’m done with my shower."
Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat.
"I heard the water earlier."
As soon as she spoke, Bai Xiaoxiao wished she could bite her tongue off.
Oh dear, what was she saying?
Luo Haofeng’s laugh ca through her ears, low and joyful, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to video chat?"
"No."
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t even need to think before rejecting Luo Haofeng’s suggestion.
At this mont, her mind was exceptionally clear.
Luo Haofeng had just showered, even in pajamas, he’d definitely be sexy enough to make her nose bleed. She wouldn’t torture herself like that.
The man on the other end seed quite disappointed.
However, his voice carried a playful tone, "Xiaoxiao, but I want to video chat with you. Don’t worry, I’m wearing pajamas, you won’t see anything inappropriate."
"I’m going to sleep."
Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, responded curtly, and promptly hung up the phone.
