"Xiaoxiao, why are you making this call?"
Luo Haofeng’s words carried a hint of undisguisable worry.
He was afraid Bai Xiaoxiao was calling to sever ties with him.
Hearing the worry in his tone, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart.
Instinctively pressing her lips together, she softly said, "I just wanted to let you know that my mom already knows about this matter. Since that person called my mom, they might also call your mom."
"That’s really vile."
Luo Haofeng cursed under his breath.
"Xiaoxiao, where is Auntie now?"
"My dad is with her," Bai Xiaoxiao said, looking up at the second floor.
She didn’t hear any sounds from downstairs, which ant her parents weren’t arguing.
Mr. Bai was a man with a good temper, and Bai Xiaoxiao had never heard her parents argue before. It seed like her dad was trying to comfort her mom at the mont.
"Xiaoxiao, Auntie just found out about us. It’s normal for her to object. Maybe after a while, when she sees our sincerity, she’ll agree."
Luo Haofeng was hoping she wouldn’t give up their relationship because of her mom’s objections.
"I know, as long as you don’t give up this ti, I won’t either."
Bai Xiaoxiao had already secretly decided that she would give her utmost effort for this relationship one last ti.
She didn’t want to leave any regrets in her life.
No matter what the final outco might be...
Hearing her say this, Luo Haofeng felt a surge of emotion, "Xiaoxiao, when are you free? Let’s et up!"
He really wanted, really wanted to see Bai Xiaoxiao.
The New Year was almost over, and he was about to return to City B for work.
Once he went back, eting frequently would be impossible.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t imdiately agree to his request but remained silent for a mont, "Today isn’t possible. I can’t go out at this ti."
Thinking about earlier, when her mom slapped herself, Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart clenched with pain.
The reason she couldn’t obey her mom’s wishes was because she couldn’t agree to make a choice. Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to stay ho with her mom.
She wanted her mom to know that both she and Luo Haofeng were the people Bai Xiaoxiao loved the most.
Although Luo Haofeng felt a bit disappointed, he didn’t force it and instead smiled slightly, speaking gently, "Then stay at ho and accompany Auntie well. If anything happens, just call ."
After a slight pause, Luo Haofeng added, "Xiaoxiao, can you check what that unfamiliar number Auntie received is?"
"Okay, I’ll let you know when I find out."
Right after Luo Haofeng finished his call with Bai Xiaoxiao, his mom Wu Jingfang phoned.
Having received Xiaoxiao’s reminder just now, Luo Haofeng had a sense of purpose.
He guessed why his mom was calling.
Quickly brewing a response in his mind, he let the phone ring a few tis before pressing the answer key, letting out a lazy "Hello."
"Ah Feng, were you sleeping?"
Listening to his sleepy voice, on the other end of the line, Wu Jingfang couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
Luo Haofeng yawned again, stretching his tone, slightly complaining, "Mom, you and dad finally went on a trip. Why call and disturb ?"
On the phone, Wu Jingfang actually chuckled, "Can’t I call you? It’s broad daylight; are you sleeping?"
"Who said I was sleeping? I’m just feeling a bit tired at the mont."
Luo Haofeng said as he held the phone away from his ear, addressing Wen Jin and Mo Xiuchen who were running over from a distance on the racecourse, "Mom, did you hear that? It’s Mo Xiuchen and Ah Jin having a horse race."
"You’re at the racecourse, huh? Is it just you, Mo Xiuchen, and Wen Jin?"
"Yeah, Ah Kai and Ah Mu both have kids now. They didn’t co out, so it’s just the three of us here."
Luo Haofeng’s voice carried a hint of laughter, and not far away, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Jin got off their horses and headed toward him.
"Ah Feng, why are you hiding here to take a call?"
"Ah Feng must have lost in the race against us two, so he hid away, right?"
Mo Xiuchen and Wen Jin each teased him, making Wu Jingfang on the other end of the line believe Luo Haofeng was indeed with the two of them.
"Mo Xiuchen, why not call Ranran to join us too?"
"No need, she’s with the three kids at Yiyi’s ho. An Lin is also there, and they’re all having lively conversations about the kids."
Mo Xiuchen finished speaking, pulling out a chair and sitting down.
On the phone, Wu Jingfang asked again, "Ah Feng, I heard that you’ve been with Bai Xiaoxiao these days?"
"Mom, if you don’t believe , I’ll send you a video."
Luo Haofeng imdiately reined in his smile, his tone becoming serious.
"It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just received a call from a stranger who told ."
Luo Haofeng was suddenly a bit irked, "Mom, how can you still believe a stranger’s call? Last ti, they tricked you and dad into coming to G City, almost wrongfully accusing you as a kidnapper’s accomplice. Isn’t that enough?"
"It’s not that I don’t trust you, that’s why I’m calling to ask?"
Indeed, because of the previous call, Wu Jingfang began to speak more cautiously.
She didn’t dare fully trust what the stranger said to be true or false.
Luo Haofeng furrowed his brows, his voice showing no hint of softening, "Mom, let tell you, the kidnapping case is still unresolved. Don’t fall for it again. The other side knows you and Aunt Qiao have a grudge, so they repeatedly try to stir up conflict between you, hoping for a deadly rivalry."
"If that’s true, then that person is indeed too wicked."
"Exactly, that’s why I’m telling you not to fall for it again. You both already resent each other. Any small issue might make you want each other dead. You can’t let that scheming person have their way, right?"
As Luo Haofeng spoke, his anger subsided a bit, and his words beca more earnest.
Listening to what he said, Wu Jingfang on the other end felt a little ashad.
"Ah Feng, your mom isn’t such a fool, I won’t be used by others as a pawn."
Luo Haofeng suddenly laughed again, "Mom, you said it yourself. You’re my mother. Whatever happens, you should stand by my side and trust . Alright, if there’s nothing else, you and dad enjoy yourselves. I am heading back to City B in the next two days."
Wu Jingfang responded with an ’Okay,’ and Luo Haofeng asked for that phone number from her.
After saying goodbye, he hung up.
"What’s going on?"
Seeing Luo Haofeng hang up, Mo Xiuchen asked unhurriedly.
Wen Jin leaned back in his chair, looking calmly at Luo Haofeng.
Luo Haofeng sighed, a hint of anger flickering between his handso brows. In a deep voice, he said, "So people are relentless, calling both my mom and Aunt Qiao, saying I’m with Xiaoxiao."
"Is there such a thing?" Mo Xiuchen raised his eyebrows.
Wen Jin coldly smiled, "There’s no need to guess; it must be ng Ke’s doing."
