Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1759: Chapter 1758: I’ll Call You Tonight

A single sentence, "Xiaoxiao, I just missed you."

Struck a chord deep in Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart, as if it had been yanked hard.

An indescribable emotion overwhelmed her in an instant.

Her eyes glistened with a layer of crystal-clear sheen, and her grip on the phone tightened inch by inch.

She recalled those lonely days abroad, those days tormented by longing.

She would repeatedly think of those she shouldn’t, reminiscing about memories best forgotten.

Sometimes, staring at the silent night sky, she wondered what he was doing across the Pacific Ocean, if he missed her too.

As she thought about it, tears blurred her vision.

Bai Xiaoxiao had secretly loved Xiao Yuting for over a decade, yet it wasn’t as intense as her love for Luo Haofeng.

Even she couldn’t believe how easily she could let go of Xiao Yuting, yet couldn’t expel Luo Haofeng from her heart.

"Aren’t you coming for a business trip in a couple of days?"

Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice carried a hint of gentle affection.

In her ear came Luo Haofeng’s laughter, low and deep, sensual, pleasing to the ear.

"Yes, I’ll be going to G City for a business trip in a couple of days, but right now, I just miss you. Xiaoxiao, I just met Qi Meiling."

"Qi Meiling?"

Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice had a trace of surprise.

Luo Haofeng let out a sound of acknowledgment on the other end, then continued, "Yes, I just met her. After being in a coma for over two years, she’s awake now and a bit different from before."

"Doesn’t she hate you?"

Back then, when Luo Haofeng and Qi Meiling got married and went on their honeymoon, they had a car accident. Luo Haofeng was seriously injured but not as severely as Qi Meiling.

Xiaoxiao wasn’t too sure about Qi Meiling’s situation over the past two years.

She just felt that since Luo Haofeng ended his marriage with Qi Meiling while she was in a coma, Qi Meiling should hate him.

"At first, she might have held some resentment towards me, but later I explained to her. She said that being given a second chance at life, she would definitely strive to let go of the past."

On hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao sighed in relief, "That’s good. Being in a coma for two years because of a car accident, she has already paid the price for that relationship."

"Yes, if she can truly let go of the past, I don’t want to dwell on it anymore either."

"Xiaoxiao, is it cold in G City today?"

Clearly, Luo Haofeng didn’t want to hang up, so he found a topic to chat with Bai Xiaoxiao.

How could Bai Xiaoxiao not know his intentions? Her heart filled with warmth and gratitude, she chuckled softly, "Not cold at all, the sunshine outside is so bright."

Saying this, she walked away from her desk to the floor-to-ceiling window, took a picture of the bright sunshine outside, and sent it to Luo Haofeng.

"Xiaoxiao, take a picture of yourself."

Luo Haofeng’s voice, deep and magnetic, carried a hint of enchanting allure.

Though separated by thousands of miles, Bai Xiaoxiao felt a strange illusion that he was right in front of her.

A smile unconsciously spread across her face as she happily agreed, "Sure!"

Standing by the window, she took a selfie and sent it to Luo Haofeng.

A moment later, Luo Haofeng sent back a photo of himself sitting in a car, a faint smile on his handsome face, irresistibly charming.

For a moment, Bai Xiaoxiao felt that his captivating smile made the sunlight outside pale in comparison.

She gazed at the photo, lost in thought.

Outside her office, a knock sounded on the door. Bai Xiaoxiao quickly gathered her thoughts and calmly said, "I have work to do here, so I won’t chat with you anymore."

"Okay, I’ll call you tonight."

**

In the evening, Bai Xiaoxiao remembered that Luo Haofeng said he would call her.

After dinner, she went upstairs early, took a bath, and leaned against the bed in her pajamas reading a book, waiting for Luo Haofeng’s call.

When the phone rang, she quickly picked it up, only to see the call wasn’t from Luo Haofeng. Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes held a hint of disappointment.

Still, she answered the call.

"Hello, Ranran."

"Why do you sound so listless? Are you waiting for a certain someone’s call?"

Over the line, Wen Ran’s teasing voice came through.

Bai Xiaoxiao half-jokingly replied, "Yes, if you have nothing else to say, hang up quickly so you don’t delay me waiting for the call."

"You prioritizing love over friendship, how could you?" Wen Ran complained over the phone, but Bai Xiaoxiao just laughed and didn’t reply.

"Xiaoxiao, I’m actually calling to discuss something serious. Brother Lu has found out the results about the attack on Xu Wanqi. Want to hear it?"

"The results came out so quickly?"

Bai Xiaoxiao asked with some surprise.

"Yes, the results were somewhat expected, nothing surprising. Those people were hired by Xu Wanqi herself, to impress Meng Ke."

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed, "She’s really putting in a lot of effort."

"And another thing, there seems to be something going on between Xu Wanqi and Meng Ke. Mo Xiuchen reviewed the hospital footage and noticed Meng Ke agreeing to take care of Xu Wanqi in the hospital, which seems suspicious."

"Was this discussed in the ward?"

"Precisely because it wasn’t discussed in the ward, it seems they have things they don’t want others to know."

"Oh."

Bai Xiaoxiao was a bit puzzled, not understanding.

"Xiaoxiao, I’ve said everything I wanted to, so I won’t disturb you from waiting for Luo Haofeng’s call. Bye."

"Who said I’m waiting for his call?"

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed and denied it.

"Don’t pretend in front of me, whatever you decide to do, I’ll support you. While you two are apart and can’t do some things, there are things that can be done."

Wen Ran laughed twice and then hung up the call.

"Why was your call so short?"

Right after Wen Ran hung up, Mo Xiuchen walked in from outside.

He held a cup of hot milk, placed it on the coffee table, and then wrapped his arms around Wen Ran.

Wen Ran snuggled into his warm embrace, her features glowing with happiness, she looked up at his handsome smiling face, "Xiaoxiao is waiting for Luo Haofeng’s call. If I chatted with her until midnight, she would strangle me."

"Haha!"

Mo Xiuchen playfully tapped her nose and was quickly caught by Wen Ran’s fingers.

"What did my brother call about just now?"

"Ah Jin said the director has picked Ziyi to replace the child they originally chose, so this commercial will be shot by Ziyi."

Mo Xiuchen’s lips curled in a delighted arc, his handsome brow revealing his pride as a father.

Indeed, as his son, Mo Xiuchen’s son, Ziyi was expected to start earning money himself.

"Ziyi doesn’t have any experience, did he really pass the audition in just an afternoon? Is my brother pressuring them?"

Wen Ran expressed skepticism about it.

It’s really because her two brothers spoiled Ziyi too much.

"Ranran, I told you, you should have faith in our son. Although Ziyi hasn’t done commercials before, he has a good temperament, is handsome and cute, not to mention intelligent. Unless the director is blind, there is no way they wouldn’t choose Ziyi."
