Chapter 1851: Chapter 1850: Before the Baby Is Born
Bai Xiaoxiao naturally heard the voices coming from the private room.
This voice was unfamiliar to Bai Xiaoxiao.
It wasn’t someone she knew.
But Bai Xiaoxiao inexplicably disliked the owner of that voice, turning to look at Wen Ran beside her, asking with her eyes who the woman talking to Mo Xiuchen was.
Wen Ran pursed her lips and reached out to push open the door.
There was not only Mo Xiuchen in the private room, and Wen Ran wasn’t worried about that woman seducing Mo Xiuchen.
In fact, even if it were just Mo Xiuchen, she wouldn’t worry. If Xiuchen were a man any woman could easily seduce, he wouldn’t be her husband now.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the three men at the round table simultaneously looked towards the entrance.
Wen Ran also saw Jiang Hui standing in front of Mo Xiuchen in the private room.
With a simple spring outfit and long black hair smoothly draped over her shoulders, her makeup was subtle. Although she wasn’t as enchanting and seductive as a mature woman,
she had a distinct air of purity.
“Ranran, why are you back so late?”
Upon seeing Wen Ran entering, Mo Xiuchen didn’t spare Jiang Hui another glance. Instead, he stood up, took two steps forward, and held Wen Ran’s hand.
His deep, indifferent eyes now carried a layer of warmth, locking onto Wen Ran’s fair face.
Wen Ran smiled and replied, “Aunt Qiao just called Xiaoxiao, and it took a few minutes.”
“Hello, Mrs. Mo.”
Beside her, Jiang Hui greeted Wen Ran politely.
Only then did Wen Ran focus on her, meeting Jiang Hui’s clear eyes. Wen Ran smiled slightly, “I just bumped into Li Shi Yao at the restroom door, she said you two were dining in the next room. I thought she was joking, but it turned out to be true.”
Jiang Hui’s smile was generous and appropriate. Although she always felt a bit inferior whenever she stood next to Wen Ran, she didn’t lose her composure because of it. “Yes, it’s a teacher’s birthday today, so Shi Yao and I came together.”
“Oh.”
Wen Ran wasn’t very interested in why they were there.
She didn’t say much.
But Jiang Hui continued to explain, “I was originally going to the restroom with Shi Yao, and when we went outside, I heard Mo General’s voice, so I boldly came in to say hello.”
Wen Ran’s eyes flickered.
Did Jiang Hui hear Mo Xiuchen’s voice and then come in to greet, or did she already know Mo Xiuchen was here before hearing the voice?
She would rather believe what Jiang Hui said was true.
“Mo General, I’ll leave you to it.”
After speaking, Jiang Hui looked up at Mo Xiuchen again.
Mo Xiuchen was too stingy to give her a glance. Instead, he affectionately pulled out a chair for Wen Ran to sit down.
An awkward expression flashed across Jiang Hui’s face. As a girl, Mo Xiuchen’s indifference was somewhat upsetting to her.
But then she thought, if Mo Xiuchen were the type to easily be nice to other women, he wouldn’t be Mo Xiuchen.
After Jiang Hui left, Bai Xiaoxiao whispered to Luo Haofeng, “My mom called and urged me to go home early…”
“I’ll take you back.”
Before she finished her sentence, Luo Haofeng took over the conversation.
“How about we all leave together?” When they came to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, they had only driven one car.
Wen Ran saw Luo Haofeng stand up to get Bai Xiaoxiao’s coat, and she also asked Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen.
Mo Xiuchen glanced at Luo Haofeng, who was taking off his coat, and smiled, “No need, just let Ah Feng take Xiaoxiao home. He can drive the car, and I’ll have Qing Feng come over with another car to pick us up.”
Luo Haofeng rarely came to G City, and he surely wanted to spend more time with Bai Xiaoxiao.
Gu Kai also agreed with Mo Xiuchen’s suggestion, “Ranran, let Ah Feng take Xiaoxiao home. If you’re worried about Aunt Qiao seeing, Ah Feng can just not get out of the car.”
Gu Kai, as an older brother, also understood Wen Ran’s concerns.
Luo Haofeng took the coat and draped it over Bai Xiaoxiao’s shoulders, grinning, “Ranran, don’t worry, I’ll safely take Xiaoxiao home.”
Wen Ran certainly believed Luo Haofeng would safely take Bai Xiaoxiao home.
“Alright then, I’ll leave Xiaoxiao to you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao put on her coat, bid farewell to Wen Ran, and left with Luo Haofeng.
As they exited the private room, they happened to see Li Shi Yao returning from the restroom. Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng together, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Shi Yao’s eyes.
She greeted them and then left.
“Xiaoxiao, is that Li Shi Yao Meng Ke’s cousin?” In the car, Luo Haofeng leaned over to fasten Bai Xiaoxiao’s seatbelt and casually asked.
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, “Yes.”
After fastening the seatbelt, Luo Haofeng didn’t immediately sit upright. Instead, his large hand stroked her cheek, causing Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart to tremble.
Being so close, Bai Xiaoxiao could smell his scent lingering in her nostrils.
This made her feel as though the air in the car suddenly became thin, and her breathing, surrounded by his scent, became slightly unsteady.
The man’s handsome face enlarged before her eyes.
Bai Xiaoxiao knew what he was about to do. Her heartbeat accelerated, and she slowly closed her eyes.
The man’s warm lips landed on her soft lips as expected.
As their lips touched, her heart skipped a beat; a current surged through her lips, causing a tingling to spread, quickly short-circuiting her mind.
The large hand originally on her cheek now cradled her head, deepening the kiss with passion and focus…
Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand unconsciously wrapped around Luo Haofeng’s neck.
The ambiance in the car turned increasingly intimate.
After a long while, Luo Haofeng reluctantly ended the kiss.
In the dimly lit car, his narrow eyes were deep and passionate, locked onto her flushed face, “Xiaoxiao.”
His voice was slightly husky.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, her lips still bearing his warmth.
Her heart raced. Although it was just a kiss, it left her heart unable to calm.
Luo Haofeng’s rough finger gently caressed her fair cheek. It was unsure whether his palm was burning hot or her cheeks were hot, possibly both their temperatures were searing.
“Xiaoxiao, can I visit your parents tomorrow?”
Luo Haofeng gazed deeply at Bai Xiaoxiao, asking earnestly.
He had been contemplating this question since his flight.
Previously, Xiaoxiao had lied to Mother Bai about being pregnant, but now, Xiaoxiao was truly pregnant.
Luo Haofeng couldn’t let Xiaoxiao give birth to their child without being married. If that happened, he would feel unworthy of Xiaoxiao’s love.
A trace of shock flashed in Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes.
She had considered this issue before, but each time she thought about it, there was no resolution.
“Xiaoxiao, in just eight months, our child will be born, so before the baby is born, I must sincerely win over your mom, so she’ll agree to us being together.”
