Chapter 1768: Chapter 1767: Her Small Hand Held in His Large Palm
Outskirts
A group of people played at Mo Xiuchen’s house until nine thirty before leaving.
With such little kids, the families of Gu Kai and Qin Mu couldn’t possibly go to the countryside villa; it was too inconvenient.
Wen Jin asked Mo Xiuchen, “Are you really going to the countryside?”
“Of course we are. If we don’t go, then when Aunt Qiao comes to the house tomorrow, won’t we get found out?”
Mo Xiuchen said, looking at Wen Ran with gentle eyes.
Wen Ran smiled and took over the conversation, “Bro, you should come too. It’s rare to have a break, you can relax a bit. The air in the countryside is good, even in these two days, it won’t be as noisy as G City.”
“I thought Ranran was just saying she was going to the countryside to cover up, and just have someone take Xiaoxiao to the airport, then Luo Haofeng could go on vacation by himself.”
Wen Jin’s words made Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flicker with embarrassment, “Let’s all go together.”
“Bro, Xiaoxiao would feel awkward going alone.”
Wen Ran teased Bai Xiaoxiao with a glance and waved at the three children not far away.
“Momo, Xinxin, Ziyi, do you want to go play in the countryside?”
“Mom, I want to go.”
“Mom, I want to go.”
“Mom, can I take my sister with me?”
Ziyi wanted to play but couldn’t bear to leave his sister. He had been taking care of Qingqing all day.
That meticulousness was in no way inferior to an adult’s care.
Now about to go to the countryside, he couldn’t part with his sister.
“Ziyi, your sister needs to go home with Uncle Qin and Aunt An. She’s too young. Next year, this time, we can bring her with us.”
Mo Xiuchen lovingly patted Ziyi’s head, speaking softly.
Ziyi hesitated for two seconds, looked up at Mo Xiuchen, and said, “Dad, can I not go?”
“Don’t you want to go and have fun?”
“I want to stay home and take care of my sister. Next year, we can bring her along to play.”
Ziyi felt that he couldn’t just leave his sister to play, it wouldn’t be right.
“Since Ziyi isn’t going, I won’t go either. You two go. Tomorrow I’ll take Momo and Xinxin to play.”
Wen Jin squatted down and asked Momo and Xinxin, “Momo, Xinxin, how about Uncle taking you to the amusement park tomorrow?”
“The amusement park? Sounds great.”
Momo blinked her bright eyes, full of anticipation and excitement.
Xinxin hesitated, unsure whether to go with her mom and dad or to play with her uncle.
“We’ll invite Sister Tong along, let your mom and dad go pick vegetables in the countryside and bring them back for us to eat…”
Wen Jin did have the knack for coaxing kids.
In just two minutes, Momo and Xinxin were convinced by Wen Jin, agreeing without hesitation to play with him tomorrow rather than going with their mom and dad to the countryside.
“Ranran, since Momo and Xinxin don’t want to go, let Ah Jin entertain them for a day. It’s cold these two days, and there’s nowhere to play in the countryside anyway.”
Mo Xiuchen was also pleased; with the three kids not going, he and Ranran could enjoy their time together again.
Since Qing Yang hadn’t woken up yet, Qing Feng was staying in the hospital, and Little Liu’s wife was pregnant. The new driver stayed at Mo Xiuchen’s house.
Recently, he and Ranran have always driven themselves when they go out.
He enjoyed personally taking care of Ranran; it was a nice feeling.
Tonight, as he drove, Bai Xiaoxiao and Wen Ran sat in the back seat. At the airport, Luo Haofeng just happened to come out.
“Ranran, come sit in the front.”
Mo Xiuchen turned and said to Wen Ran in the back seat.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed slightly, grabbing Wen Ran’s wrist, “No, Ranran, stay here with me.”
“Xiaoxiao, Xiu Chen is used to me sitting in the passenger seat when he drives. I’ll go keep him company, you’ll have company soon enough too,” Wen Ran smiled as she withdrew her hand from Bai Xiaoxiao’s grip and got out to sit in the front.
“…”
Bai Xiaoxiao opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.
A few steps away, Luo Haofeng’s tall figure walked closer, and her gaze fell on the hand carrying his small luggage. The airport’s nighttime lighting was bright.
She could clearly see that his fingers holding the bag were long and fair, the joints distinct.
There was a man’s strength, and from the lowered car window, she could almost smell his essence in the air.
Coming even closer.
That handsome face became clearer and brighter before her eyes.
His narrow, peach-blossom eyes firmly locked onto her gaze, with a smile of delight in their depths, appearing to Bai Xiaoxiao as brilliant sunlight.
After placing the luggage in the trunk, he opened the car door and got in.
He gave her a deep look first, then greeted Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran in the front.
In the small car compartment, Bai Xiaoxiao felt even the air was replaced by the man’s presence, as Luo Haofeng’s clean and masculine scent filled it.
Listening to Luo Haofeng and Mo Xiuchen talk, Bai Xiaoxiao just quietly listened without speaking.
As the vehicle got back on the road, she felt his gaze shift onto her, and an immediate heat crept into her heart.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart began to race even faster.
It’s strange to say; she hadn’t just known Luo Haofeng for a day or two, but years.
The two weren’t dating for the first time, although they had broken up in between.
Now, they were secretly seeing each other, unable to date openly.
Even so, her heart still raced whenever they were together.
A hand resting on her thigh was suddenly held by a broad palm, and the roughness of his hand sent a tremor through her.
She raised her eyes, meeting Luo Haofeng’s waiting gaze.
Deep, luminous, filled with longing and affection.
“Xiaoxiao!”
The voice falling by her ear was soft and gentle.
Like an invisible hand lightly plucking at her heartstrings.
An indescribable emotion spread through Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart, Luo Haofeng’s warmth penetrating her skin and transforming into a current reaching her heart.
Even her mind became a bit muddled.
Long after, she still pondered whether this period felt more thrilling because of their secrecy and thus more unsettling when facing this man.
“…”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s lips moved slightly but she didn’t speak.
Luo Haofeng’s eyes grew even more tender as he wrapped his other large hand over her shoulder, pulling her into his arms.
Noticing her body stiffen a little, a trace of affection crossed his eyes, and he slightly tightened the hand resting on her shoulder.
“Xiaoxiao, Xiu Chen and Ranran aren’t outsiders.”
Luo Haofeng lowered his voice, softly whispering in her ear.
It meant, don’t be shy, don’t be nervous.
But he was so close to her ear when he spoke, the warm breath all poured into Bai Xiaoxiao’s ear, causing a tremble at her heart and a blush to rise unbidden on her fair cheeks.
Thankfully, the dim lighting in the car concealed her blush. Bai Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and playfully glanced at Luo Haofeng, her brows following suit with a slight frown.
