Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1614: Chapter 1613: His Pain Is Her Pain

Watching An Lin turn and leave, Qin Mu’s smile deepened. He pressed the answer button with his long fingers and spoke casually, “Hey, Xiu Chen.”

“Ah Mu, you and An Lin come to Yi Pin Xuan for lunch, there’s no need to cook lunch.”

“You’re treating? Why Yi Pin Xuan?”

They often gathered at Mo Xiuchen’s house.

There was no way around it, his house was not only big but also convenient, with many servants.

“Xiaoxiao is returning from abroad today. I arranged a private room at Yi Pin Xuan this morning. Just now Ah Feng also called, saying he wanted to win back the money he lost last time…”

Mo Xiuchen explained the reason simply.

Qin Mu was taken aback as he listened.

Bai Xiaoxiao had returned to the country.

Ah Feng was coming to G City.

This couldn’t be a coincidence. Ah Feng hadn’t come to G City for months, and now he picked the exact time Bai Xiaoxiao returned to come here.

“Did Ah Feng and Bai Xiaoxiao reconcile? Or could he no longer hold back, with Bai Xiaoxiao just returning today, and he rushed right over.”

Qin Mu blurted out the question without giving it much thought.

On the other end of the line, Mo Xiuchen, still in the car, couldn’t help but glance again at Bai Xiaoxiao upon hearing Qin Mu’s words.

Ah Feng and Bai Xiaoxiao getting back together would be harder than the sun rising from the west.

“Ah Feng has probably been fixated on the money he lost this whole time. Today, he finally has some free time and wants to win it back, and I made a bet with him.”

“What bet?”

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow lightly. Was it just his imagination, or did Xiu Chen’s words seem a bit ominous?

“I’ll keep it a secret for now. When Ah Feng arrives, he’ll probably tell you.”

Mo Xiuchen smiled meaningfully.

Several guesses flashed through Qin Mu’s mind, but none seemed likely.

After hanging up, he pushed the shopping cart and found An Lin in the snack aisle, holding a box of sour plums.

“Want this?”

Qin Mu took the sour plums from her hand and placed them in the cart.

An Lin nodded, her eyes browsing the shelves, “Who called just now?”

“Xiu Chen, he wants us to go to Yi Pin Xuan for lunch, no need to cook.”

Qin Mu picked up a bag of pistachios and asked An Lin if she wanted them.

An Lin shook her head, looking at him in surprise, “Isn’t Xiu Chen spending the day with Ranran today?”

“I heard Bai Xiaoxiao came back today, and Ah Feng also rushed over from City B. Xiu Chen wasn’t very clear about it; I’m not sure about Ah Feng and Bai Xiaoxiao’s situation.”

Qin Mu’s eyebrows furrowed with a hint of doubt.

An Lin was also shocked after hearing this, “Ah Mu, you say Ah Feng came to G City too, have he and Xiaoxiao been in touch all along?”

“I don’t know.”

Qin Mu shook his head.

An Lin suddenly laughed, “Let’s just go to Yi Pin Xuan now; we’ll find out what’s going on when we see them.”

Seeing An Lin’s curious expression, Qin Mu couldn’t help laughing, “Don’t be in such a hurry. It’s still early; take your time shopping.”

“No more shopping. We can buy stuff anytime, but seeing what’s going on with Ah Feng and Xiaoxiao isn’t something we can see just any time.”

Every time Luo Haofeng mentioned Bai Xiaoxiao in the past, he never showed his true feelings.

She had also heard from Wen Ran that Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng had indeed broken up, and now Bai Xiaoxiao had a new boyfriend.

“Alright, you’re so interested, let’s get there earlier, then.”

Qin Mu smiled indifferently; he didn’t mind either way, as long as An Lin was happy.

Mo Xiuchen’s car ran into a traffic jam halfway there.

There was still a long way to Yi Pin Xuan, and it seemed an accident had occurred ahead, creating a long line of cars that stretched endlessly.

The three little ones watched cartoons, not anxious at all.

Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to chat and weren’t annoyed by the traffic.

Mo Xiuchen got out to make phone calls to Wen Jin and Gu Kai. Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at Mo Xiuchen making calls outside the car window and teasingly said in a lowered voice to Wen Ran, “Ranran, Mo Xiuchen is still so good to you.”

“You noticed?”

Wen Ran smiled charmingly. Bai Xiaoxiao snorted, “Of course, I’m so sharp; I can spot it at a glance.”

“By the way, does Luo Haofeng know you’re back in the country?”

Seeing Mo Xiuchen was still on the phone, Wen Ran thought for a moment and asked softly.

The smile on Bai Xiaoxiao’s face suddenly froze.

She nodded slowly and said quietly, “Yesterday, he called me. I don’t know where he got the information that I was returning.”

“So he did know. I knew it, why else would he suddenly come to G City then.”

Just now, with that glance exchanged with Bai Xiaoxiao, Wen Ran had sensed something unusual.

But hearing it from her own mouth, it made Wen Ran even more certain.

“He also sent me a message.”

Bai Xiaoxiao said, taking out her phone from her bag.

“What did he say?”

Wen Ran asked with concern, her eyes fixed intently on Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled innocently, “I don’t know. I haven’t looked.”

As she spoke, she unlocked her phone and checked the message content with Wen Ran.

Upon reading the message, both of them were taken aback.

For a long time, neither of them spoke.

In the car, only the sound of cartoons filled the air, and the three little ones watched with great interest. Wen Ran kept her eyes on Bai Xiaoxiao, while Bai Xiaoxiao was fixated on the message.

“Xiaoxiao.”

After a while, Wen Ran’s gentle voice sounded in the car.

Bai Xiaoxiao snapped her head up, meeting Wen Ran’s concerned eyes. She smiled bitterly, “He should’ve gone on a blind date a long time ago.”

Yesterday, he had called to ask if she was returning to the country.

It was she who had told him to find someone and settle down.

In fact, Bai Xiaoxiao had said many harsh words to Luo Haofeng, and she was well aware of how much those words hurt him.

Because when she said those things, it hurt not only Luo Haofeng but also herself.

The more he hurt, the more she hurt.

But what could she do?

They were destined to be apart in this life, unable to be together.

She couldn’t make her mother sad and couldn’t betray her family for a man.

Nor could Luo Haofeng’s mother accept her.

With such obstacles, even if two people were in love, what could they do?

It was as if a knife lightly grazed her heart…

The pain slowly spread from one inch to the next, reaching every limb and bone… every cell in her body.

Her eyes felt slightly sore, and Bai Xiaoxiao instinctively pressed her lips tightly, suppressing the sharp pain in her heart. This was just the beginning.

Bai Xiaoxiao, since you’ve decided to come back, you must have the courage to face and accept everything that happens in the future.

Whether it’s you getting married and having children, or him getting married and having children.

This is the responsibility you both must bear, the life you both must face.

The grip on her phone tightened little by little, and to prevent Wen Ran from worrying, she tried her best to make her smile look radiant and her words sound as light as a breeze, “Ranran, Meng Ke and I have been dating for more than a year. He’s just now going on blind dates; I really don’t know how his mom hasn’t directly forced him to get married.”

Wen Ran’s heart tightened inexplicably. Bai Xiaoxiao’s smile felt harsh to her eyes, “Xiaoxiao, let’s not talk about this anymore.”
