Capítulo 1870: Chapter 1869: Think It Over
Luo Haofeng held the phone in front of him, looking at the call ti displayed on the screen from the ended call.
He couldn’t help but pout: Mo Xiuchen actually hung up on him.
Humph, he didn’t want to waste ti on him anyway.
Picking up the cup on the table, he took a sip of water and dialed Bai Xiaoxiao’s number. His handso face softened accordingly.
The phone rang a few tis before Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice ca through from miles away, “Hello, Haofeng.”
There was a trace of joy in her gentle voice.
Like a sudden breeze brushing past the ear in sumr, it lifted the spirits.
Luo Haofeng couldn’t help but smile joyfully, his already handso face increasingly charming because of that.
“Xiaoxiao, are you busy?”
It took so long to answer the phone.
“I was in a eting just now and didn’t have my phone with ,” Bai Xiaoxiao explained softly, “Why are you calling at this ti?”
Luo Haofeng chuckled, deliberately using a seductive voice, “I miss you.”
Sweet talk always brings happiness.
It was no different for Bai Xiaoxiao. Hearing the sweet words from Luo Haofeng, a layer of sweetness filled her heart.
Her brows and eyes were tinted with happiness.
She placed a hand over her flat belly, silently telling the baby inside, “Baby, Daddy misses you.”
“Xiaoxiao, there’s sothing I want to discuss with you.”
Luo Haofeng shifted to a more serious tone as he broached the topic.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, and she asked softly, “What is it?”
An assistant knocked on the door and entered, placing the materials she needed on the desk before quietly leaving.
“Here’s the thing, Mo Xiuchen is going to City B this weekend for a business trip, and I want you to co to City B for a while.”
Mo Xiuchen on a business trip, and her going to City B, what was the connection?
Bai Xiaoxiao’s first reaction was to question this.
She didn’t ask but leaned back into the chair, quietly listening to Luo Haofeng’s explanation, “Last weekend, my mother t ng Ke, who hasn’t given up on you yet. He even instigated my mother to help him.”
“You an Auntie t ng Ke?”
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but be surprised.
How did ng Ke know Luo Rongbin and Wu Jingfang’s whereabouts? They traveled on a whim, without even Luo Haofeng knowing their exact itinerary.
“ng Ke found out about my parents’ travel location by chance, too…”
Luo Haofeng repeated what he had just told Mo Xiuchen.
After listening, Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her delicate brows tightly.
ng Ke, why won’t he give up?
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t understand; Xu Wanqi is pregnant with ng Ke’s child. If ng Ke wants soone, it should be Xu Wanqi.
That woman loves him so much, yet he disregards her.
Instead, he clings to her, soone who doesn’t love him at all. Does it really prove the old saying true, that “what you can’t have is better”?
Perhaps not!
Maybe ng Ke simply can’t accept this—having invested so much yet failing to receive any response from Bai Xiaoxiao. He is unwilling to accept that Bai Xiaoxiao has never liked him.
“Xiaoxiao, I am not at ease with you in G City. In the short term, I can’t stay in G City either, so after thinking it over, I decided it would be better to bring you to City B for a while.”
Once ng Ke is apprehended, he would feel at ease.
Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows in distress; she understood that Luo Haofeng was worried, but what would change if she went to City B?
If ng Ke was truly determined, location wouldn’t matter.
It was just that Wu Jingfang would tell Luo Haofeng about ng Ke seeking her, which particularly surprised Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Xiaoxiao, please, co to City B, so I can see you every day and protect you.” As a man, Luo Haofeng naturally wished to stay by the side of the woman he loved and protect her at all tis.
“Let think about it, okay?”
After hesitating for a mont, Bai Xiaoxiao spoke softly.
Luo Haofeng didn’t push her; he gently replied, “Alright, take your ti to think it over, discuss it with Uncle and Aunt. Mo Xiuchen is coming to City B for a business trip this weekend; you can fly on the sa flight as him, and I’ll pick you up at the airport.”
**
In the evening, Luo Haofeng called Bai Xiaoxiao again.
He asked her about temporarily staying in City B, and Bai Xiaoxiao smiled as she replied, “My parents agreed.”
“That’s wonderful, Xiaoxiao, in just a few more days, we can live together,” Luo Haofeng said with undisguised joy.
Listening to his excited words, warmth filled Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart, and her smile grew even more radiant.
“Xiaoxiao, I’ll call Mo Xiuchen right now and have him book the tickets together.”
“No need, I’ll call Ranran in a while. If Mo Xiuchen is on a business trip, Ranran will surely go too.” Bai Xiaoxiao hadn’t called Wen Ran yet.
But as soon as she spoke those words, Luo Haofeng laughed on the other end of the phone.
Bai Xiaoxiao was puzzled by his laughter, “Why are you laughing?”
“Xiaoxiao, you thought the sa as I did. I also assud that Mo Xiuchen would take Ranran on his trip.”
“Isn’t that so?”
Bai Xiaoxiao asked, confused.
At least during the ti since she returned to the country, Mo Xiuchen and Ranran had been inseparable, even during business trips.
As if fearing that a few days of business travel would allow Ranran to be taken away by another man.
Everyone thought Mo Xiuchen’s ‘illness’ should be cured.
“No, Xiaoxiao, believe , this ti Mo Xiuchen is taking Jiang Hui on the business trip, not Ranran.”
“Jiang Hui?”
Bai Xiaoxiao certainly rembered the woman nad Jiang Hui, although they had only t once, a woman’s intuition told her that Jiang Hui definitely had intentions towards Mo Xiuchen.
For soone like Mo Xiuchen, it would be odd not to attract admiration from won.
Yet Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t understand why Mo Xiuchen would take Jiang Hui on a business trip.
“Isn’t Jiang Hui an intern? Why would Mo Xiuchen take her on a business trip? He wouldn’t be like other n…”
Bai Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.
“Xiaoxiao, do you know why an intern like Jiang Hui was able to join Haoshen?”
Luo Haofeng didn’t directly answer Bai Xiaoxiao’s question.
“Ranran said it was recomnded by Director Wei, so Mo Xiuchen gave him face and let Jiang Hui join Haoshen.”
At the ti, Wen Ran had told Bai Xiaoxiao this.
After hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s words, Luo Haofeng was silent for a mont, then his voice ca across with an added depth, “Xiaoxiao, actually, Mo Xiuchen didn’t let Jiang Hui join Haoshen just to give Director Wei face.”
“Then why?”
“The thing is, Jiang Hui bears a striking resemblance to Mo Xiuchen’s mother, not only in looks but also her na, which differs by just one character from his mother’s.”
This is the reason why Mo Xiuchen allowed Jiang Hui to join Haoshen.
Bai Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in astonishnt, “Really?”
How could such a coincidence occur?
Jiang Hui resembling Mo Xiuchen’s mother.
If that’s the case, it wasn’t strange for Mo Xiuchen to let an intern like Jiang Hui join Haoshen.
“Yes, it’s true. Jiang Hui approaching Mo Xiuchen must have her motives, but I’m not sure whether she’s following Director Wei’s orders or influenced by soone else.”
Towards the end, Luo Haofeng’s voice inexplicably carried a hint of coldness.
