Chapter 1861: Chapter 1860: But I Miss You So Much
Ever since the relationship between Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao gained approval from both sides’ elders,
they transitioned from an underground romance to an open relationship.
An openly acknowledged love affair.
However, even though their relationship is now acknowledged, the long-distance issue remains unsolved for the time being.
Thus, Luo Haofeng’s thrice-daily phone calls became essential communication in their relationship.
Summer stealthily approached in their love story.
Despite her pregnancy, Bai Xiaoxiao, remembering her tendency to lose weight every summer, still lost two pounds.
As a soon-to-be mother, she emanated a soft maternal tenderness in her expressions and became even more charming and entrancing.
That afternoon, Bai Xiaoxiao had just finished a meeting with a client and returned to her office when her phone rang.
Since she had set a special ringtone for him, she didn’t need to check the caller ID to know it was Luo Haofeng calling.
Upon returning to her desk, Bai Xiaoxiao took a sip of water before leaning back in her chair and leisurely answered the call, “Hello!”
Over the phone, Luo Haofeng’s low, magnetic voice reached her ears, “Xiaoxiao, I was too busy at noon to call you. Did you miss me?”
At the end of his sentence, his tone carried a hint of laughter.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes inadvertently softened, and her lips curved into a joyful arc, “Why would I miss you? I’m busy too.”
“Haha, Xiaoxiao, but I really miss you. What should I do?”
The low, pleasant voice over the phone made Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart feel sweet as if dipped in honey.
It turned out that openly and legitimately being in love felt different than before when it was done in secret.
This happiness was blessed by their elders, and she no longer had to feel guilty or worried amid her joy.
“How should I know what to do? That’s your problem.”
Although Bai Xiaoxiao said this, her face was alight with a happy smile.
Even the air in the office seemed to have a tinge of romance.
“Xiaoxiao, I’m coming to G City tonight.”
After the laughter, Luo Haofeng finally shared the good news with Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled, knowing it was the weekend and that Luo Haofeng would come. After all, they hadn’t seen each other for half a month.
Last weekend, Luo Haofeng had to go on a business trip, so he didn’t come to G City.
“You didn’t get to rest properly last weekend due to your business trip, and now you’re not staying home to rest this weekend either?” Bai Xiaoxiao thought she might be saying the opposite of what she felt.
In truth, she wanted to see Luo Haofeng.
But her words contradicted her true feelings.
Luo Haofeng sighed on the other end, “Xiaoxiao, while I do want to rest, I want to see you more. So, I decided to come to G City tonight and rest after that.”
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but giggle at Luo Haofeng’s words.
She knew his complaints were not serious, but she couldn’t help feeling sorry for him making the trip.
Since her pregnancy, Luo Haofeng not only had to manage his company but also take care of her, calling no less than three times a day.
Even when he was away on business trips, it was the same.
On weekends, he would still rush to G City to be with her, canceling all other engagements.
“Why don’t you come tomorrow?”
“Then I’ll definitely have insomnia tonight.”
“Why insomnia?”
Bai Xiaoxiao pretended not to understand and asked.
She put the phone on speaker and placed it on the solid wood desk, then picked up her cup.
“Xiaoxiao, you know I’ll miss you so much I can’t sleep. This weekend in G City, I must confirm our wedding date with your parents.”
As for the proposal, Luo Haofeng had already done it.
After gaining Mother Bai’s approval the second weekend and after sending his parents off on a trip, he rushed to G City with Mo Xiuchen’s help for a romantic and touching proposal to Bai Xiaoxiao.
If he hadn’t been on a business trip last week, he would have discussed the wedding date already.
“I can’t decide that, you really do need to ask my parents.”
Bai Xiaoxiao did not have any rigid demands regarding the wedding date; she would be willing to marry Luo Haofeng on any day.
However, her parents were not likely to agree so casually.
Just a few days ago, they mentioned needing to find an auspicious day.
“Alright.”
Luo Haofeng agreed readily on the other end.
He naturally wanted to respect his in-laws’ wishes and meet their demands as much as possible.
“Now it’s work time, don’t slack off. Get back to work.”
After chatting for about ten more minutes, although Bai Xiaoxiao enjoyed talking to Luo Haofeng, she didn’t want to delay his work.
Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Luo Haofeng laughed, “Okay, I’ll finish my tasks and call you when I arrive in G City tonight.”
“If you’re too tired, just come tomorrow. No need to rush tonight.”
Bai Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and softly added.
After hanging up, Bai Xiaoxiao stared at the call log on her phone for a long time before putting it away and starting her work.
**
During dinner, Mother Bai asked Bai Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, is Luo Haofeng coming to G City this weekend?”
Beside her, Mr. Bai smiled and picked up some food for Bai Xiaoxiao and Mother Bai.
Bai Xiaoxiao thanked her dad and then answered her mother’s question, “Mom, Haofeng said he would come tonight.”
“Since he’s coming, you should discuss your wedding plans and have the ceremony sooner rather than later. The further the days slip by, the harder it will be for you.”
Mother Bai’s eyes passed over Bai Xiaoxiao’s belly.
She was only a little over two months along and not showing yet.
But in a few months, having a wedding with a big belly would surely be tough.
Since she had agreed to let them be together, Mother Bai didn’t want to keep Xiaoxiao at home any longer. It would be best to marry her off while she wasn’t showing.
“Mom, Haofeng plans for that too.”
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled.
Since her mother’s approval, she had openly displayed her happiness at home.
“What about his parents? Marriage isn’t trivial. Even if they don’t need to be consulted for the wedding date because they’re traveling, they should attend the wedding itself.”
This was the first time since approving Luo Haofeng’s courtship of Bai Xiaoxiao that Mother Bai mentioned Luo Haofeng’s parents to her.
Love is between two people, but marriage is definitely a matter of two families.
If she had a choice, Mother Bai truly wished Luo Haofeng wasn’t Wu Jingfang’s son. She felt that even the mere sight of that woman would make them dislike each other.
Therefore, mentioning Wu Jingfang, Mother Bai’s tone held a hint of stiffness.
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled gently and said softly, “Mom, I’ve never asked Haofeng about this, I’ll ask him when he arrives.”
“That woman probably doesn’t want to see us. If she doesn’t wish to attend your wedding willingly, then don’t force her.”
Mother Bai added coldly.
She couldn’t fathom why Wu Jingfang would allow Luo Haofeng to be with Xiaoxiao. It couldn’t possibly be due to the pregnancy alone.
Both Qiao Xiuyun and Wu Jingfang were baffled by this.
