Chapter 1613: Chapter 1612: Wanting to Win It Back
Mo Xiuchen raised his handsome brows slightly. Since Luo Haofeng was willing to deal with Qin Mu, why not let him handle it.
Qin Mu really has had enough rest.
It’s been several months now, and in a few more months, when An Lin gives birth, he’ll definitely need to rest again.
Letting him work during this time makes things easier for everyone.
“So it’s agreed then. What time will you arrive? I’ll have Qing Feng pick you up.”
“One o’clock.”
“Alright, Qing Feng will pick you up then.” Mo Xiuchen glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao sitting across from him and hung up the phone.
Wen Ran hesitated for a moment before gently asking, “Xiuchen, who was that on the phone?”
Bai Xiaoxiao was playing with Momo on her lap, holding her little hand and teasing her. Hearing Wen Ran’s question, she instinctively pressed her lips together.
Mo Xiuchen’s large hand stroked Wen Ran’s head, gently running his fingers through her soft hair, his voice deep and magnetic, “It was Ah Feng. He lost money last time and wants to win it back today.”
“Luo Haofeng?”
Wen Ran’s voice raised slightly.
Even though she heard Luo Haofeng’s voice earlier, she was still surprised when Mo Xiuchen mentioned him.
Does Luo Haofeng know that Xiaoxiao is returning home today?
Wen Ran looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, who was also looking at her at the same time.
Their eyes met, and Bai Xiaoxiao understood the inquiry in Wen Ran’s gaze, pressing her lips even tighter.
Wen Ran caught some information from Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes. She pretended to be cheerful and asked Mo Xiuchen, “How much did Luo Haofeng lose last time?”
“About ten thousand, but I don’t really remember.”
Mo Xiuchen answered casually; that day, out of the three of them, he was the only one who won.
“It seems like he didn’t lose the most. My two brothers lost more, right?” Wen Ran recalled the scene from that day.
The last time they played cards was on the day Qin Mu was discharged from the hospital; Luo Haofeng hadn’t been back to G City since then.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Mo Xiuchen nodded, his smile deepening a bit, “Yes, that day Ah Kai lost the most, Ah Jin lost a bit less, and Ah Feng lost the least. He asked me to call them; maybe he wants to team up with them for a comeback.”
“And you’re still so happy about it? Luo Haofeng specifically came for a comeback; he must be confident.” Wen Ran amusedly remarked.
Mo Xiuchen remained unconcerned, his smile unwavering, “No worries, even if the three of them team up, they won’t win. We’re not playing cards this afternoon; Ah Feng said he wants to challenge us at the gym.”
“Haha, at the gym?”
“Yes.”
Mo Xiuchen’s large hand slid down, gently holding Wen Ran’s soft little hand. He instructed Qing Feng, who was driving, “Qing Feng, pick up Ah Feng from the airport before one o’clock this afternoon.”

After calling Bai Xiaoxiao, Meng Ke went to the Bai Family home to personally pick up his future mother-in-law.
On the phone, he didn’t tell Bai Xiaoxiao’s parents that she was back. He just said he wanted to invite them for dinner to share some good news.
Upon arriving, Mother Bai was already dressed up and waiting at the door.
“Auntie, please get in the car.”
As soon as the car stopped, Meng Ke immediately got out and opened the car door for Mother Bai.
Mother Bai smiled warmly, nodded to Meng, and bent down to get into the car.
“Little Meng, you said on the phone there’s good news. What exactly is it?”
Once the car was on the road, Mother Bai curiously asked Meng Ke, who was driving.
Meng Ke turned his head and smiled politely, “Auntie, you’ll find out when we get there. Let me keep it a secret for now.”
“Still keeping secrets?”
The more Meng Ke refused to say, the more curious Mother Bai became.
But she didn’t press him further. These past two years, with Xiaoxiao not at home, Meng Ke would come monthly to have dinner or just sit with them and chat.
He cared about their health, constantly showing concern, much like half a son.
“Yes, Auntie, prepare yourself for a surprise; it’s definitely good news.”
Meng Ke watched Mother Bai through the rearview mirror, noticing some resemblance to Bai Xiaoxiao.
Thinking about seeing Xiaoxiao soon, he felt excited. Although initially he felt a bit disappointed to be kept in the dark about her major return.
But then, upon learning that even Xiaoxiao’s parents were unaware, he felt relieved.
Back then, it was he who pursued Bai Xiaoxiao. He liked her even when she was still dating Luo Haofeng.
Later, Bai Xiaoxiao went abroad, and eventually, she and Luo Haofeng broke up.
Got back together.
Then broke up again!
When Bai Xiaoxiao agreed to be his girlfriend, she clearly told him she didn’t love him.
At that time, he didn’t mind and said that as long as he loved her, it was enough. They had a lifetime together, and he was willing to wait for her to fall in love with him.
“Alright, then I won’t ask anymore. You mean you also didn’t tell Xiaoxiao’s dad, right?”
“Uncle doesn’t know either.”
Meng Ke shook his head, smiling.
“Oh, by the way, Little Meng, I hope your parents are well. The weather changes from early to late this season, so you should pay close attention to their health…”
Mother Bai and Mr. Bai had met Meng Ke’s parents once.
Because Xiaoxiao wasn’t home, later on, when Meng Ke intentionally suggested dinner with them, Mother Bai politely declined.

Qin Mu received Mo Xiuchen’s call while shopping with An Lin at the mall.
An Lin’s belly grew larger by the day, and her figure became fuller by the day; Qin Mu constantly heard her complain about gaining weight and not wanting to eat so much.
“Don’t buy so much; I don’t eat that much meat.”
Seeing Qin Mu putting the meat into the shopping cart, An Lin protested unhappily.
Qin Mu chuckled, holding her hand and looking down at her abdomen, “It’s not for you; it’s for our precious daughter.”
Since he learned An Lin was expecting a girl, Qin Mu couldn’t be happier.
“Girls need to stay slim; both our mother and daughter don’t eat that much.” An Lin frowned and shook her head.
If she kept eating like this, she’d turn into a pig.
She didn’t understand why despite having morning sickness and no appetite in the first three months, she suddenly had a huge appetite starting the fourth month.
Now, she’s even heavier than Bai Yiyi, who’s about to give birth.
Qin Mu pushed the cart with one hand and held her hand with the other, “Our precious is growing, and how will she be healthy if you don’t let her eat?”
As he finished speaking, his phone rang.
“Hurry up and answer the phone; I’ll push the cart.”
As soon as An Lin heard the phone ringing, she urged him.
Qin Mu squinted his eyes, releasing her hand, “No need for you to push; see what else we need to buy.”
“Why don’t you answer?”
An Lin noticed he glanced at the incoming call but didn’t intend to answer it.
“I’m afraid if I pick up the call, you’ll take all the meat out of the cart.” Qin Mu smiled as he looked at her.
An Lin gave him a glare and turned her gaze elsewhere, “I’m not that petty. At worst, whatever you buy, you eat it all by yourself, I’m going over there to take a look.”
To prove she wouldn’t toss out his cart meat, An Lin turned and walked toward the snacks section in front.
