Bai Xiaoxiao went upstairs to take a shower, then lay on her bed and picked up her phone, reading the ssage Luo Haofeng had just sent her.
"Xiaoxiao, how was your day? Were you very busy?"
Even though Bai Xiaoxiao was having a cold war with her mom because of Luo Haofeng.
Yet, seeing his ssage still ward her heart.
A gentle warmth unwittingly spread over her brows and eyes, and she hesitated for a mont before dialing Luo Haofeng’s phone number.
After two rings, Luo Haofeng’s voice ca through the night into her ear, "Hello, Xiaoxiao."
"Are you still outside?"
A slight smile appeared at Bai Xiaoxiao’s lips, her voice soft with a hint of leisurely charm spilling over her red lips.
"My parents ca back this afternoon, I didn’t have any social obligations tonight, I’m already lying in bed."
Luo Haofeng’s voice was pleasant to listen to, deep and magnetic.
"Your parents ca back?"
"Yes, they said they’re back to spend the Lantern Festival with ."
"Oh."
Regarding his parents, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t know what to say, so she responded with a plain "oh".
Luo Haofeng quickly changed the topic, asking with concern, "Xiaoxiao, is your mother still ignoring you?"
Bai Xiaoxiao sighed, "My dad said my mom will wait until I surrender myself."
"Is there anything your mother particularly likes? Maybe you could buy a present for her; she wouldn’t really ignore you forever."
Sensing Bai Xiaoxiao’s frustrated tone, Luo Haofeng suggested ideas from the other end of the line.
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, "My mom doesn’t have any particularly favorite gift... However, she ntioned a set of limited-edition jewelry a long ti ago."
While thinking, Bai Xiaoxiao spoke.
Luo Haofeng laughed and asked, "What kind of jewelry is it? Tell , maybe I can find it."
"I forgot the designer’s na, he’s a renowned designer from D Country, but I can’t rember him at the mont. I heard the jewelry was designed to commorate his wife..."
Before Bai Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Luo Haofeng’s laughter ca through, "Xiaoxiao, I know the designer you ntioned, don’t worry, I’ll think of a way."
"No need, I’ll think of another way. After all, I’m my mother’s daughter; she can’t treat like this forever."
Bai Xiaoxiao’s worst plan was to persist until her mother forgives her and agrees with her.
Of course, that’s very difficult.
The reason Qiao Xiuyun kept ignoring her was that Bai Xiaoxiao refused to surrender. If she tells Qiao Xiuyun she’s willing to sever ties with Luo Haofeng, Qiao Xiuyun will naturally reconcile with her.
Yet, Bai Xiaoxiao is stubborn like that.
The one most troubled during these days of cold war between mother and daughter is Mr. Bai.
"Xiaoxiao, have you decided how to spend the Lantern Festival tomorrow?"
Over the phone, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t see Luo Haofeng’s expression.
However, from his gentle tone, she could imagine that he must be smiling now, and those alluring eyes must be filled with enchanting laughter.
As Luo Haofeng’s handso face floated before her eyes, a certain softness unfurled within Bai Xiaoxiao.
"I still have to work tomorrow, and there’s a company dinner in the evening."
"Don’t work too hard."
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help laughing, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself."
"I’m going to G City in a few days, and I’ll take Ruoyi with this ti."
"Alright."
Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng both had business cooperation with Xiao Yuting’s company, so his visit to G City was naturally for business.
However, they could find an opportunity to et.
As Bai Xiaoxiao was thinking, Luo Haofeng’s voice suddenly beca a bit low, "Xiaoxiao, I miss you very much, do you miss ?"
For so reason?
That deep voice made Bai Xiaoxiao’s heartbeat skip a beat.
She instinctively pressed her lips together and softly said, "I miss you too."
At this mont, the airwaves conveyed their longing for one another.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s grip tightened slightly on her phone.
She wondered what expression Luo Haofeng would have upon hearing those words on the other end of the line.
Was it moved, joyful, or...
**
Because the company was especially busy, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t have a day off for the Lantern Festival.
However, today was a good day.
Not only was the weather clear, but when she arrived at work in the morning, there were flowers on her desk.
The assistant bead and said, "Boss, hurry and open it up, whose flowers are these?"
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes fluttered as she walked over and picked up the flowers, but when she saw the card in the bouquet, her brows furrowed.
"Boss, who is it?"
The assistant widened her curious eyes, staring at the card in Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand.
Bai Xiaoxiao tossed the card into the trash can nearby, and shoved the flowers into the assistant’s arms, "Take them out and share them with everyone."
The assistant’s eyes sparkled, "Boss, these flowers are so pretty, are you really giving them away?"
"If you don’t want them, just throw them away."
Turning back, she headed towards the office.
She had just reached her desk, intending to sit down, when there was a knock on the door outside.
The assistant ran over to open the door, then exclaid, "Boss, there’s more flowers for you."
Bai Xiaoxiao looked towards the door with confusion, only to see the assistant making way for a florist carrying flowers inside.
"Miss Bai, here are your flowers, please sign here."
The deliveryman courteously spoke.
Bai Xiaoxiao quickly signed her na, accepted the flowers, pulled out the card for a glance, and tossed it to the nearby assistant.
With two bouquets in her arms, the assistant’s face was hidden behind the flowers.
"Boss, shall I share these flowers too?"
"Do as you wish; if not, throw them in the trash."
The assistant giggled, "Boss, I suspect you’ll receive a lot of flowers today. Maybe I should wait here awhile, then everyone can have a bouquet."
Her playful remark earned a side-eye from Bai Xiaoxiao.
However, the assistant’s words really seed to co true.
As she walked to the door, yet another florist arrived.
This ti, the delivery was a bright red bouquet of roses, and Bai Xiaoxiao was surprised.
What day is today? Everyone is sending her flowers.
The previous two bouquets were from ng Ke and Xiao Yuting.
Who sent this one?
The assistant stood by, waiting, eyes fixed on Bai Xiaoxiao, waiting for her to sign so she could take this bouquet of roses and share them.
After signing, Bai Xiaoxiao absentmindedly pulled out the card.
Upon seeing the signature, her initially cold and indifferent eyes unknowingly filled with warmth.
A smile she couldn’t hide appeared on her lips, while the assistant noticed the concealed allure in her gaze and blinked her eyes, craning her neck to see.
Still, before he could read what was on the card, Bai Xiaoxiao evaded and issued a dismissal order, "You go back to work now."
