Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1754: Chapter 1753: First, You Have to Be Able to Support Yourself

The next day, Luo Haofeng returned to City B early in the morning.

Because there was an important meeting he couldn’t delay, he sent Bai Xiaoxiao a message before leaving to inform her.

Bai Xiaoxiao received Luo Haofeng’s message as soon as she got up.

"Xiaoxiao, I’m heading back to City B first, I’ll be back in a couple of days. If anything happens, just give me a call."

Looking at the message, Bai Xiaoxiao’s water-colored eyes unconsciously filled with a trace of warmth, and her eyebrows also took on a faint brightness.

It felt as if she had returned to the feeling of dating Luo Haofeng years ago.

Sweetness slowly seeped into her heart.

Even though she hadn’t agreed to try once more with him, she loved this man in her heart, and just as she loved him, he loved her too.

Being loved by someone she loves is what makes her feel happiness and sweetness.

Not like with Meng Ke, no matter how good he was to her, she only felt mild gratitude and guilt, never able to feel moved or love him.

As she was thinking, the phone rang abruptly.

Seeing the caller ID, Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes slightly changed, and her brow furrowed lightly.

The call was from Meng Ke.

Remembering his reaction last night, Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated for a few seconds, listening to the phone ring several times before pressing the answer button, "Hello!"

"Xiaoxiao, I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to go on a business trip. I will be leaving G City this morning and might not be back for about a week."

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed slightly, and she said flatly, "We’ve already broken up, you don’t need to tell me about your business trip."

"Xiaoxiao, I don’t have time now, but when I return from the business trip, I’ll find you so we can have a proper talk. Meanwhile, take care of yourself."

Before Bai Xiaoxiao could say anything else, Meng Ke hung up the phone.

The meaning was very clear, he didn’t agree with the breakup.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s words alone couldn’t make the decision.

This made Bai Xiaoxiao extremely frustrated.

She took a breath, tossed the phone onto the bed, and got up to wash up.

At the Mo family breakfast table.

As usual, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran sat with the three children for breakfast together.

Wen Ran cared for the three children, while Mo Xiuchen focused more on looking after her.

This morning, Ziyi was the first to finish and put down his chopsticks. After wiping his mouth like a gentleman, he looked at Mo Xiuchen and then Wen Ran.

Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes narrowed slightly, his lips curving into a subtle arc, "Ziyi, do you have something to say?"

"Daddy, you’re really amazing, I hadn’t said anything yet, and you already knew I had something to say."

Ziyi smiled flatteringly, not forgetting to butter him up.

Mo Xiuchen chuckled softly, "Go ahead, what is it?"

"Daddy, Mommy, I discussed something with Uncle Qin last night."

Ziyi straightened his small back, sitting properly in the chair, exuding a noble aura despite his young age.

"Oh?"

Mo Xiuchen glanced at Wen Ran, his voice raising slightly.

Wen Ran blinked and smiled at her son, noticing his happiness when he came back from Qin Mu’s house last night.

Was it not because he met Qingqing but rather because Qin Mu agreed to some request he had?

"Daddy, Mommy, Uncle Qin promised me that in a year, he would let my sister live with us."

When Ziyi said this, a proud look shone from his handsome brow, a pure smile blossoming on his exquisite facial features.

"You want to bring your sister to live with us?"

Wen Ran asked somewhat surprised.

Ziyi nodded, "Mommy, my sister doesn’t eat much. We can afford to raise her."

"Ziyi, it’s you who wants to bring your sister here, so you can’t let your mommy and daddy take care of her."

Mo Xiuchen raised his handsome brows, put down the chopsticks, leaned his tall body against the back of the chair, his words carrying an air of casualness yet also an invisible authority.

The smile and pride on Ziyi’s face vanished due to Mo Xiuchen’s words.

His beautiful eyes blinked in confusion, looking at Mo Xiuchen in a daze, "Daddy, don’t you like my sister?"

"Whether I like your sister or not is a separate matter from whether you want her here. First, tell me why you want her to come live with us."

"I like my sister, Aunt An said she’ll be my girlfriend when she grows up, and later, my wife."

Ziyi was intimidated by his father’s words, his tone much different than before.

Wen Ran, seeing her son’s expression, looked pityingly at Mo Xiuchen, who returned her gaze with a reassuring smile.

She didn’t speak, but simply smiled as she watched the father and son.

"Even if your sister becomes your girlfriend when she grows up, it’s still not right for your mommy and daddy to raise her. If you have the ability to support her yourself, earn money for her expenses, then you can bring her here. But if you can’t manage on your own, you shouldn’t be looking for a girlfriend."

Mo Xiuchen’s tone was very calm, as if he was merely having a normal chat with Ziyi.

Yet Ziyi’s brows furrowed tighter.

He lacked ability; how could he earn money to support his sister?

"Daddy, if you hadn’t split from Mommy back then, would you have brought her home?"

Ziyi’s counter-question elicited a soft laugh from Wen Ran.

Mo Xiuchen raised a brow, "That’s a good question. Before I had the ability, I wouldn’t have brought your mommy home. Ziyi, wait until you can earn your own keep before deciding to support others."

"Mommy."

Ziyi pleaded to Wen Ran in grievance.

Why did Daddy suddenly turn like this, when just last night he had agreed to visit his sister?

Wen Ran lovingly stroked Ziyi’s head, and softly said, "Ziyi, see how you can’t solve any problems right now, right? What Daddy said isn’t without reason. When you can earn money, whoever you want to spend it on will be your choice, and Daddy and Mommy won’t stop you."

Ziyi saw his mommy also stand on the same side as Daddy.

Knowing that no matter what he said, Daddy wouldn’t change his decision.

He pouted his little mouth, slid off the chair, and left the dining room.

"Mommy, I’m full too."

Beside her, Momo saw Ziyi’s upset look, put down his chopsticks, and took a napkin to wipe his mouth.

Xinxin, noticing this, quickly finished her last sip of milk and followed Momo out of the dining room.

Wen Ran watched as Momo and Xinxin ran directly to the living room sofa, each holding Ziyi’s small hand, gently calling his name.

As if comforting him, she couldn’t help but feel a trace of warmth, her heart softening.

Feeling the man’s gaze beside her, she returned her eyes to him.

Mo Xiuchen was looking at her gently, and upon meeting her gaze, his lips curved into a charming arc, softly saying, "Don’t worry, Ziyi is our son, he will figure it out and find a solution."

"But Ziyi is still so young, isn’t this a bit harsh?"

Wen Ran frowned with concern.

Mo Xiuchen shook his head with a smile, "No, Ziyi is exceptionally smart and independent. Despite being born at the same time as Momo, he’s noticeably more decisive than Momo. Just watch, within a week, he’ll bring this matter up again."
