Chapter 1723: Chapter 1722: I Love You
“Xiaoxiao, break up with Meng Ke!”
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao staring at him in a daze, Luo Haofeng repeated it again.
Although Luo Haofeng had promised Mother Bai not to disturb Bai Xiaoxiao anymore,
he couldn’t control his emotions and approached Xiaoxiao involuntarily. To watch the snow with her, he made concessions to Xiao Yuting in order to silence him.
He even engaged in a losing business deal.
Initially, Luo Haofeng just wanted to use Bai Xiaoxiao’s business trip to City B to have a moment of solitude with her, but this morning, he overheard her conversation with Meng Ke.
Upon learning that the man was entangled with other women while dating Xiaoxiao, he suddenly felt the urge to be with Xiaoxiao again.
He wanted to experience the happiness of last night every day.
“Haofeng, you’re joking, right?”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice had a hint of tremor.
He clearly knew that it was impossible between them.
The grudges of the previous generation were right there, her mother hated Luo Haofeng’s mother to death, and Luo Haofeng’s mother similarly hated her mother.
Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t fully aware of the grudges of the previous generation.
She only knew that her mother and Luo Haofeng’s father were once lovers, and due to Mother Luo’s intervention and some tactics, her mother and Father Luo broke up.
Regarding that matter, Bai Xiaoxiao was unaware.
Luo Haofeng stared firmly at Bai Xiaoxiao. As she struggled, his grip strengthened, a profound depth in his eyes that was bottomless.
“Xiaoxiao, I’m not joking, I’m serious.”
Each word was like a heavy hammer striking Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart.
Her nose turned sour, she shook her head instinctively, “No, it’s impossible.”
“Xiaoxiao, I love you, you love me too, we love each other, why can’t we be together.”
This statement, I love you and you love me, we love each other, sent a surge of warmth over Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart, and something instantly filled her eyes.
“Haofeng, you know very well that your mother won’t agree, and my mother won’t agree either.”
If they could be together, they wouldn’t have broken up.
Wasn’t it him who initiated the breakup back then?
It proves that not all lovers can end up together.
Not all lovers can become husband and wife.
She and Luo Haofeng were examples of this.
“Xiaoxiao, I promised your mother not to disturb you anymore, but after spending those few hours of solitude with you last night, I realized deeply that I can’t do it.”
His voice was filled with suppressed pain.
Watching the woman he loved with another man and watching her put on a wedding dress for another man…
Every time Luo Haofeng thought of that scene, he felt unbearable pain.
“Haofeng, stop talking, I can’t be with you, I just can’t.”
Bai Xiaoxiao hurriedly withdrew her hand from his grip, stood up, and tried to leave.
Luo Haofeng’s expression changed when he saw her trying to leave. Without thinking, he chased after her and hugged her tightly from behind.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s body suddenly stiffened!
Her slender body was tightly embraced by the man behind her, and that familiar scent that made her heart race instantly scrambled her thoughts.
The man’s scalding breath, mixed with a hoarse voice, fell in her ear, “Xiaoxiao, I will convince my mom to accept you. Can you give me some time, please?”
Her heart ached.
Bai Xiaoxiao dared not turn around to look at the man behind her.
She just spoke chokingly, “Haofeng, don’t try, being friends is the best for us.”
She was afraid that, in the end, they wouldn’t even be friends.
Hearing the choke in her voice, Luo Haofeng felt another pang in his heart and held her tighter, as if he desperately wanted to meld her into his body, become one.
That way, there would be no separation.
Luo Haofeng understood the meaning of Bai Xiaoxiao’s words.
He understood her worries.
She feared their insistence on being together would deepen the hatred between their mothers.
Back then, Luo Haofeng’s mother nearly ruined her mother’s face; if Wen Ran hadn’t held her back, her mother might have scars on her face now.
If such an event happened again, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t remain friends with Luo Haofeng.
He would become her enemy.
She was afraid.
Therefore, she compromised with her mother’s soft and hard tactics and chose Meng Ke.
The atmosphere became tense as a result.
Luo Haofeng’s hand remained tightly around Bai Xiaoxiao’s waist, struggling inwardly.
Bai Xiaoxiao stood stiffly at the restaurant entrance, tears streamed down her cheeks.
If she could choose, she would rather never have met Luo Haofeng, even if they met, never have fallen in love.
Then they wouldn’t be in such pain.
“Xiaoxiao…”
Luo Haofeng turned Bai Xiaoxiao’s body, touched the tear marks on her face, and his heart felt like it was being tightly pinched, even his breathing was painful.
He called her name softly, wanting to give her a sense of security, trying to persuade her.
But the doorbell rang suddenly.
The sound was sharp and urgent, as if it wanted to capture souls.
Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao were startled simultaneously.
Thinking of something, a hint of panic flashed in Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes.
Luo Haofeng saw the panic in her eyes and felt another pang in his heart. He led her to the dining table and pulled out a tissue to dry her tears.
“Xiaoxiao, don’t worry.”
The doorbell stopped.
Luo Haofeng’s phone rang again.
When he saw the caller, Luo Haofeng’s face changed slightly.
“Xiaoxiao, go upstairs first, I’ll come up to find you in a bit.”
Luo Haofeng turned off the phone sound without answering it, and led Bai Xiaoxiao away from the dining table, taking her upstairs.
Bai Xiaoxiao saw the name displayed on his phone screen.
Outside the villa, it was his mother.
She didn’t know what the situation would be if Mother Luo came in and saw her.
From Luo Haofeng’s nervous expression, she knew how much Mother Luo disliked her.
“I’ll go upstairs by myself, you don’t need to accompany me.”
Her voice was soft and carried a hint of bitterness.
How could they possibly be together?
Luo Haofeng didn’t insist, he just stood at the stairs watching her go up. He then turned to the dining room, put away the dishes, and looked around the living room.
After confirming there was nothing unusual, he went to open the door.
Outside, Mother Luo stood in a fur coat, her expression was not very good.
“Ah Feng, I rang the doorbell and called, why did it take you so long to open the door?”
Luo Haofeng smiled, reached out to pull Mother Luo into the villa, took out a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet for her, and then took her coat and gloves.
“Mom, why are you here so early?”
“You didn’t come home for your birthday, so as a mother I had to come see you.”
Mother Luo said, glaring at him, then walked towards the living room.
Luo Haofeng chuckled, hung up the coat, then put an arm around Mother Luo’s shoulder, “Mom, if you wanted to celebrate my birthday, you could have just called, why come in person.”
