Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1817: Chapter 1816: First Time, No Experience

Luo Haofeng couldn’t help but smile, gently calling out, “Xiaoxiao.”

Bai Xiaoxiao blinked, feeling a bit embarrassed by Luo Haofeng’s smiling gaze, “Why are you looking at me? Are you having second thoughts?”

Luo Haofeng chuckled, “Xiaoxiao, I thought you were unwilling.”

“Did I say I was unwilling?”

Bai Xiaoxiao gave him a glare.

“But you just cried?”

Luo Haofeng’s eyes showed tenderness and a touch of heartache.

“I was overwhelmed with happiness.”

“Overwhelmed with happiness?”

Bai Xiaoxiao raised an elegant brow, “Yes, it’s the first time someone has given me a ring, I didn’t expect it, so I cried with joy.”

The expression clearly suggested to Luo Haofeng that next time, she would have more experience.

Luo Haofeng’s mouth twitched, his smile deepened, “I understand now, it’s all my fault, I should have rehearsed it beforehand to avoid scaring Xiaoxiao.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s tears hadn’t dried yet, and she burst into laughter.

Seeing her bright smile, Luo Haofeng felt happiness swell in his heart, extending his sharply defined hand to her, “Xiaoxiao, give me the ring.”

Only then did Bai Xiaoxiao return the ring to him.

Luo Haofeng reopened the box, took out the ring, and set the box on the tea table behind him, his warm hand grasping Bai Xiaoxiao’s soft little hand.

After focusing intently on her fingers for a moment, he very gently slipped the ring onto her finger.

Throughout, Bai Xiaoxiao remained still.

Her gentle gaze stayed fixed on the man putting a ring on her.

Her heart was full of emotions too intense for words to capture her current feelings.

But one thing she knew for sure was joy.

Even though they hadn’t yet received their parents’ approval, even though their meetings now were secretive, Bai Xiaoxiao still felt happiness and sweetness as the ring slipped onto her finger.

This was her first time receiving a ring, and it was also Luo Haofeng’s first time giving a ring.

After placing the ring, Luo Haofeng gently kissed her finger, then lifted his head, his peach blossom eyes looking at Bai Xiaoxiao tenderly and affectionately.

As they gazed at each other, even the air felt imbued with warmth and sweetness.

Bai Xiaoxiao, with her ring-clad hand, gently clasped Luo Haofeng’s slender fingers, softly pulling him up.

Luo Haofeng sat onto the sofa, enclosing Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand within his palm.

Bai Xiaoxiao nestled in his embrace, slightly raising her face to look at Luo Haofeng, “Are you going back tonight or tomorrow morning?”

Luo Haofeng laughed gently, “Tomorrow morning’s flight, I can make it back to work.”

“Didn’t you say your mom and dad were coming to spend the Lantern Festival with you? Did your mom know you came here tonight?”

Luo Haofeng’s hand around her shoulder tightened slightly, pulling Bai Xiaoxiao’s body closer against his.

His voice was deep and gentle, highly magnetic, “It’s okay, they think I’m with Ruoyi.”

“Don’t appear suddenly like this again.”

“Xiaoxiao, don’t you want to see me?” Luo Haofeng asked with a smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, “It’s not that I don’t want to see you, it’s just that your constant traveling back and forth must be exhausting.”

“It’s not exhausting; being able to fly over to see you makes me happy.”

As Luo Haofeng spoke, a trace of compassion appeared in his eyes, “It’s just that Xiaoxiao has been wronged.”

Originally, love was the most wonderful thing, but because the person Bai Xiaoxiao loved was him, Luo Haofeng.

As a result, their relationship was like an underground affair that couldn’t see the light, and Luo Haofeng couldn’t accompany Bai Xiaoxiao like a normal boyfriend, doing romantic things lovers do.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at his apologetic eyes and said indifferently, “It’s okay, this makes it special!”

She wasn’t the kind of girl who needed to cling to her boyfriend all the time, except for her relationship with Luo Haofeng, which both parents opposed.

Bai Xiaoxiao wouldn’t feel wronged by their physical separation.

Compared to three years ago, when they were separated by the Pacific Ocean and not even in contact, it had improved immensely.

Their conversation only ended when Bai Xiaoxiao’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows slightly, pressed the answer button, and faintly said, “Hello?”

“Xiaoxiao, it’s me, we should be heading back.”

Xiao Yuting wasn’t oblivious; when Mo Xiuchen took him to discuss business and Wen Ran took Bai Xiaoxiao away, he knew Bai Xiaoxiao was going to see Luo Haofeng.

He got the benefit, so he couldn’t betray Luo Haofeng anymore.

Even though he didn’t want Bai Xiaoxiao to be with Luo Haofeng, he couldn’t change the fact that Bai Xiaoxiao loved him.

“Okay, wait for me downstairs at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion.”

“Xiaoxiao, let me talk.”

Luo Haofeng extended his hand, asking Bai Xiaoxiao for the phone.

Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated for a second, then smiled and handed him the phone.

Luo Haofeng took the phone and calmly spoke, “President Xiao, you go ahead, wait for her at the corner outside Xiaoxiao’s house.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes showed slight astonishment.

Luo Haofeng gave her a reassuring smile.

After hanging up the phone, he said softly, “I’ll take you home.”

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, and Luo Haofeng wanted to spend more time with her, and she wanted more time with him too.

Even if it was just a few minutes.

At Yi Pin Xuan, Xiao Yuting hung up the phone, feeling slightly annoyed.

Knowing Xiaoxiao went to see Luo Haofeng was one thing, but being instructed by Luo Haofeng was another.

Mo Xiuchen observed Xiao Yuting’s expression and smiled, “Since President Xiao agrees, we’ll have further discussions at work.”

Mentioning business immediately dispelled the dissatisfaction from Xiao Yuting’s face.

With a big smile, he said, “Okay, I’ll come find Mo General tomorrow.”

Mo Xiuchen stood up and went downstairs with Xiao Yuting, exchanging farewells before heading to their respective homes.

Over on the other side, Luo Haofeng drove his Maserati to take Bai Xiaoxiao home.

The car moved slowly along the way; even though it was late at night, the Lantern Festival kept the atmosphere lively.

In the passenger seat, Bai Xiaoxiao’s gaze remained on the man driving beside her.

From his handsome profile to his fingers wrapped around the steering wheel, everything made her feel a softness in her heart.

Luo Haofeng occasionally glanced at her, his eyes gentle and doting.

As they neared home, Bai Xiaoxiao finally asked, “Are you coming next week?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Haofeng turned to look at her, a gentle smile appearing on his lips, “There’s work next week, yes.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s brows brightened into a radiant smile at this.

Though they lived far apart, they met more frequently than some couples living in the same city.

“Right, there’s one thing I need to tell you.”

“What is it, Xiaoxiao, please say.”

Bai Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together, “Xiao Yuting might have a way to make Xu Wanfei reveal who instructed her.”

Luo Haofeng’s long eyes narrowed suddenly, “What terms did Xiao Yuting propose to you?”
