Chapter 729: 728 Not being Blessed
Wen Ran’s eyebrows lightly furrowed as she asked worriedly, “Xiaoxiao, where’s Luo Haofeng, isn’t he with you now?”
“He went home.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice revealed a trace of disappointment. Wen Ran thought for a moment.
She asked hesitantly, “Xiaoxiao, shall I come and pick you up? Since Luo Haofeng’s parents don’t like you, there’s no need for you to endure this.”
“Ranran, you don’t need to come and pick me up, I’ll go back by myself tomorrow.”
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t want to bother Wen Ran by having her come over this late.
Although she really wanted someone to talk to at the moment because she felt wronged, thinking that Ranran hadn’t fully recovered and traveling late at night would be too strenuous, she reluctantly declined.
Understanding her concern, Wen Ran smiled lightly and teased, “Xiaoxiao, I know you really miss me. Wait for me, I’ll be there in two hours. Text me the address of your hotel, and if there’s anything, we’ll talk about it when I get there.
Finishing her sentence, before Bai Xiaoxiao could object, she hung up, got out of bed, and started looking for clothes to change into.
Updated by NovG○.coIn the living room downstairs, Qing Feng, Qing Yang, and Little Liu were sitting on the couch.
Enjoying the fruits she’d just picked, and chit-chatting.
Seeing her come down, Qing Feng was the first to stand up, smiling as he exited the couch to greet her, “Miss Wen, are you going out?”
Both Qing Yang and Little Liu stared in surprise at Wen Ran descending the stairs.
Wen Ran nodded, speaking softly, “I’m going to pick up Xiaoxiao. Qing Feng, Qing Yang, you two come with me. Little Liu can stay and watch the house.”
“Okay.”
Qing Feng and Qing Yang simultaneously agreed, and Little Liu didn’t dare object to Wen Ran’s plan.
He just reminded Qing Feng and Qing Yang to ensure Wen Ran’s safety.
“Little Liu, don’t worry, no one will give me trouble now.”
Last time they were ambushed on the road, Qin Sen’s men were responsible. Now Qin Sen, Liao Dongxing, Fu Jingyi and the others were all under arrest, so she was very safe.

Inside the Luo’s living room, a storm was brewing.
Luo Haofeng’s normally handsome face was unusually cold. His usually smiling eyes now held a complex emotion as he coldly said, “Mom, the one marrying Xiaoxiao is me, not you. You don’t have the right to interfere with my feelings.”
This remark only enraged Luo’s mother further. Furious, she retorted sharply, “You are my son, how can I not have the right to interfere with you? That Bai Xiaoxiao, at a glance, she’s not the type to be a good wife and mother. I really don’t know what you see in her… If you don’t break up with her right now, then you can stop recognizing me as your mother.”
“Mom!”
Luo Haofeng shouted angrily.
“Ah Feng, don’t further irritate your mother, go back to your room and rest.”
Luo Haofeng wanted to say something, but was stopped by his father. During the conversation, Father Luo motioned with his eyes for Luo Haofeng to leave first, and discuss the matter later when his mother’s mood had stabilized.
He pursed his lips, speaking curtly, “Dad, Xiaoxiao is at the hotel, I can’t abandon her there. I’m going back to the hotel.”
“Stop, you can’t go back to the hotel.”
Luo’s mother’s voice faded as Luo Haofeng left the room. In the blink of an eye, his tall figure was gone from the living room.
At the garage, he got in the car and dialed Bai Xiaoxiao’s number.
“You don’t have to come over. Ranran is on her way.”
When Bai Xiaoxiao heard that he was rushing back to the hotel, she stopped him.
Luo Haofeng was taken aback, asking incredulously, “Xiaoxiao, why would Wen Ran come over? Did you ask her to accompany you?”
“Yes, I asked Ranran to keep me company. You don’t come home often, so stay at home and keep your aunt company.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice was gentle and calm, betraying no dissatisfaction.
However, Luo Haofeng’s heart sunk.
He knew, his mother’s attitude had already hurt Xiaoxiao.
He was just about to explain, but Bai Xiaoxiao, as if knowing what he was about to say, cut him off and said, “Let’s stop here. Goodnight.”
She then hung up.

By the time Wen Ran arrived at the hotel where Bai Xiaoxiao was staying, it was already 11 o’clock in the evening.
Qing Feng and Qing Yang booked another room for themselves while she shared a room with Bai Xiaoxiao.
The two of them lay in bed, the crystal light dimmed to a soothing glow, while Bai Xiaoxiao described the scene of meeting Luo Haofeng’s parents today.
“Ranran, do you know? Luo Haofeng’s mother is very hypocritical. On the surface, she treats me cordially, addressing me as Miss Bai, but I can feel that she despises me internally.”
Especially, the shock on Luo’s mother’s face when she first saw her was impossible to ignore.
Her heart sank at that time because she had a certain objective in seeing Luo Haofeng’s parents.
The shock on Luo’s mother’s face when she saw Bai Xiaoxiao was particularly striking to her.
Later, Luo’s mother’s fake smiles made her feel that Wen Ran’s guess might be correct.
If Wen Ran hadn’t picked up Aunt Qiao’s call, she would have thought that Xiaoxiao was being overly sensitive, but she did pick up that call, making her think otherwise.
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao looking dejected, she felt sad too.
She pursed her lips, speaking softly, “Xiaoxiao, if Luo Haofeng’s mother really doesn’t like you, you should stop seeing him.”
“Ranran?”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at her in surprise.
Although she told Wen Ran on the phone that she might truly break up with Luo Haofeng.
But saying it that way, it was partially seeking comfort
But now, hearing Wen Ran say it, she felt a slight panic.
Wen Ran met her panic-stricken eyes, her gaze tightening.
She held her hand, saying, “Xiaoxiao, as the saying goes, it’s better to find a good mother-in-law than a good husband. Even if your feelings for Luo Haofeng are strong, without the approval of Aunt Qiao and his parents, it’s difficult for both of you to find happiness together.”
The tip of Bai Xiaoxiao’s nose prickled, her eyes reddening.
“Xiaoxiao, don’t be too upset, this is just my opinion. Maybe I shouldn’t have let you go to his house.”
As Wen Ran spoke at the end, her voice filled with guilt.
Suddenly remembering something else, she stared intently at Bai Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, have you and Luo Haofeng… you know?”
Knowing what Wen Ran was worried about, Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head gently: “No.”
Wen Ran breathed a sigh of relief, relieved and said, “Xiaoxiao, while you and Luo Haofeng have not developed that kind of relationship yet, think about my proposal. If I’m not wrong, his mother probably asked him to break up with you.”
Such things were too ordinary.
Families like theirs value not only a match in social standing.
Most parents have a domineering attitude toward their children’s marriages, being very picky about their children’s lover, unless there is a benefit on the line.
If not, for couples that truly love each other, there are more breakups than successful relationships.
Bai Xiaoxiao knew that Wen Ran was only looking out for her.
She mustered a smile, pretending to be carefree, and replied, “Alright, I will seriously consider it. Luo Haofeng and I haven’t fallen deeply in love to a point where we can’t split up. If he proposes a break-up, I will gracefully let go.”
