Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1734: Chapter 1733: I’ve Made Up My Mind

How could Mother Bai not be angry?

Bai Xiaoxiao stubbornly pressed her lips together, "Mom, this has nothing to do with anyone else. It’s just that I don’t want to be with Meng Ke."

"I gave birth to you, don’t I know you?"

Mother Bai glared fiercely at Bai Xiaoxiao.

"Back when you were abroad, you promised Meng Ke, and he waited for you for two years. You can’t just say break up and break up, can you? How do you know if you’re suitable if you don’t give it a try?"

"I just know."

Bai Xiaoxiao made up her mind.

"Because I don’t like him, being with him makes me feel awful."

Her voice carried a bit of hoarseness, a hint of sadness and melancholy.

Mother Bai saw it in her eyes and heart; it’s impossible to say she wasn’t pained.

However, she couldn’t let her daughter be with Luo Haofeng; that man was not a good match for her daughter.

Luo Haofeng’s mother would never accept Xiaoxiao either.

Mother Bai’s biggest fear was that the vicious Wu Jingfang would harm Xiaoxiao.

Thinking of this, she said seriously, "Xiaoxiao, if you’re breaking up with Meng Ke because he’s taking care of that woman named Xu Wanqi, I will talk to him. But if it’s because of Luo Haofeng, I absolutely won’t allow it."

After saying that, she stood up and left.

Bai Xiaoxiao stood in front of the sofa, looking at the closed door, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

In her heart, there was an indescribable pain.

Was Bai Xiaoxiao really breaking up with Meng Ke not to be with Luo Haofeng?

She knew very well that it wasn’t just Luo Haofeng’s parents who opposed it; her mother disagreed as well.

The reason she wanted to break up with Meng Ke was that she didn’t want to continue this painful, hypocritical relationship against her true feelings.

That’s not only unfair to herself but also to Meng Ke.

When she learned that Luo Haofeng pretended to date Tian Ruoyi for her sake, her determination to break up became even stronger.

She couldn’t be with the person she loved, but she could live alone.

When Mother Bai returned to the room, Mr. Bai was lying on the bed. Seeing her storm in, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked with concern, "What happened? Did Xiaoxiao argue with you?"

Mother Bai snorted, "Xiaoxiao wants to break up with Meng Ke."

"Break up?"

Mr. Bai’s voice rose slightly, but there wasn’t any particular shock in his expression.

It seemed like he had anticipated this for a long time.

He had asked Xiaoxiao before whether she liked Meng Ke. Xiaoxiao hadn’t given him a direct answer, but her excuses clearly expressed her mind.

Mother Bai climbed into bed, leaned against the headboard next to Mr. Bai, "I suspect Xiaoxiao met with Luo Haofeng during this business trip."

Ever since Xiaoxiao returned this time, she felt different.

She always seemed preoccupied, often dazed and not herself.

"That’s impossible, right? Even if Xiaoxiao went to City B on business, with both Luo Haofeng’s mother and you strongly opposing, how could she have met up with Luo Haofeng."

Mr. Bai shook his head with a smile, seeing his wife’s expression hadn’t eased, he added, "You’re overthinking. Luo Haofeng is already dating a new girlfriend, he won’t have anything with Xiaoxiao."

"How do you know?"

Mother Bai looked at Mr. Bai, puzzled.

"Haha, of course, I know." Mr. Bai deliberately didn’t disclose it to Mother Bai, keeping her in suspense.

Mother Bai still felt uneasy. She frowned and said, "Tomorrow, let’s go to the hospital and take a look at the woman Xu Wanqi whom Meng Ke is taking care of."

"What’s the point of a senior visiting the hospital and stirring up more drama? If you want to know, just call Meng Ke out and ask him directly."

"Alright, we’ll call him out to ask, but I still want to see what that woman looks like. Xiaoxiao said that woman really likes Meng Ke."

Mr. Bai sighed gently, wrapped an arm around Mother Bai’s shoulder, and said warmly, "How about we just go with Xiaoxiao’s wishes?"

"What do you mean?" Mother Bai’s expression changed, and she looked at Mr. Bai angrily.

"Would you want your daughter to marry someone she doesn’t love and be unhappy for life?"

Mr. Bai’s words made Mother Bai’s expression tense.

But she still said stiffly, "I absolutely won’t agree to her being with Luo Haofeng."

Suburban villa

When Wen Ran was being teased by Mo Xiuchen, the phone suddenly rang.

"Xiuchen, phone."

Wen Ran dodged his kiss, pointing to the phone on the bedside table.

Mo Xiuchen’s expression darkened.

Who could it be, so inconsiderate, interrupting his moment?

"Ranran, don’t worry about it."

He said, sliding his hand into her nightgown. Wen Ran let out a soft sound, grasping his unruly hand, her breath slightly panting, "Xiuchen, let me answer the phone first."

"Then, how will you make it up to me?"

Mo Xiuchen’s lips curved into a seductive smile, his deep eyes passionately gazing at the woman below him.

Wen Ran blushed, "Whatever you want afterward is fine."

"Haha, alright then, I’ll give you a few minutes."

Mo Xiuchen laughed, pulling Wen Ran up from the bed, and reaching for the phone on the small bedside table. He glanced at the caller ID before handing it to Wen Ran.

Wen Ran pressed the answer key and spoke softly, "Hello, Xiaoxiao."

"Ranran, am I disturbing you and Mo Xiuchen’s private time?"

Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice came through lowly; it seemed like she had something on her mind.

A trace of doubt crossed Wen Ran’s mind, and she moved the phone closer to her ear. Nearby, Mo Xiuchen gestured toward the direction of the study room and then turned into it.

Wen Ran chuckled softly, her gentle voice slipping out from her red lips, "No, not at all. But why are you calling at this time?"

"Ranran, I just told my mom."

"Told her what?" Wen Ran asked, puzzled.

There was a moment of silence on the call.

Then Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice came through again, "I told her I want to break up with Meng Ke."

"What? You want to break up with Meng Ke?" Wen Ran asked in surprise.

"Yes, that’s what I told my mom."

"Xiaoxiao, what did Aunt Qiao say?" Wen Ran glanced toward the study room; the door was closed, and she couldn’t see Mo Xiuchen inside.

"Of course my mom disagreed. She asked if I’ve seen Haofeng."

"What did you say? You didn’t admit it, did you."

From Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice, Wen Ran could sense her conflict.

"I told her no. I simply don’t like Meng Ke and don’t want to continue with him. Ranran, I really just want to break up, not to be with Haofeng."

Tonight, Bai Xiaoxiao had dinner at Gu Kai’s house. Meanwhile, Bai Yiyi had called Wen Ran, asking if she wanted to come over, but since Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen were out, she didn’t go.

Therefore, she didn’t know that Luo Haofeng’s relationship with the woman named Tian Ruoyi was fake.

She pondered for a moment and then asked with concern, "Xiaoxiao, are you determined to break up with Meng Ke?"

"Yes, I’ve decided to break up with him."
