Chapter 1854: Chapter 1853: There’s Always Someone to Take the Blame
Wen Ran’s lips twitched slightly, she raised her eyes and looked at Mo Xiuchen lightly, and calmly asked, “Luo Haofeng, it’s right that you prepared gifts that Aunt Qiao and Uncle Bai would like, but when do you plan to marry Xiaoxiao?”
Wen Ran believes that no gift could reassure Father Bai and Mother Bai more than Luo Haofeng giving Bai Xiaoxiao a fulfilling marriage and earning their acceptance.
“Ranran is right, Ah Feng, do your parents agree with you meeting Xiaoxiao’s parents?”
The difficulty facing Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao is not just about pleasing the father-in-law and mother-in-law.
His own parents, too, are like a mountain blocking his path to happiness with Xiaoxiao.
Everyone’s eyes were on him.
Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen already knew about Luo Haofeng’s family situation, but Qin Mu and Wen Jin, as well as Wen Ran, did not.
Seeing Luo Haofeng hesitate a bit, Mo Xiuchen said gently, “Ranran, since Ah Feng is going to see Xiaoxiao’s parents, he’s surely prepared and has plans to marry Xiaoxiao.”
Wen Ran blinked, “I know, my point is, he needs to make Aunt Qiao and Uncle Bai believe he can make Xiaoxiao happy.”
Therefore, Luo Haofeng still needs a date, a specific plan of action.
Especially in a situation where Aunt Qiao doesn’t even dare to believe him.
If Luo Haofeng can’t give Father Bai and Mother Bai a definite time, they will find it hard to accept him.
Wen Ran had met with Qiao Xiuyun a few days ago and talked with her; she knew what Qiao Xiuyun’s biggest concern was.
But Wen Ran did not know that Wu Jingfang had already returned.
And was strongly opposed to Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao being together.
Even though Qin Mu and Wen Jin were not aware, after hearing what Mo Xiuchen said to support Luo Haofeng, they all looked thoughtful.
Luo Haofeng didn’t want Bai Xiaoxiao to know how strongly his mother was opposed.
But he couldn’t hide it from Wen Ran.
Bai Xiaoxiao only had Wen Ran as a good sister, and now Bai Xiaoxiao was pregnant, she needed Wen Ran’s help and care even more.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Haofeng said frankly, “My parents returned to B city yesterday afternoon, and they already know that I am with Xiaoxiao.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao understood a little from Luo Haofeng’s facial expression.
It seemed that his mother wouldn’t agree.
And Bai Xiaoxiao being pregnant at this time meant for Luo Haofeng, they didn’t have much time to win over their parents.
In just eight months, the baby would be arriving with a cry.
They couldn’t possibly let Xiaoxiao have the child out of wedlock.
Wen Ran couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, how troublesome the situation between Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao was.
“Whether they agree or not, I will marry Xiaoxiao.”
Luo Haofeng said firmly, with a handsome face void of a smile, unlike his usual nonchalant self.
Gu Kai frowned slightly and said calmly, “Since you’ve made up your mind, just ignore Aunt Wu for now, and focus on getting Xiaoxiao’s parents to accept you first.”
“…”
A trace of worry flashed through Wen Ran’s eyes, but ultimately she said nothing more.
Mo Xiuchen took note of Wen Ran’s concern, his grip on her hand tightened slightly, signaling her not to worry.
“Xiuchen, Ranran, I am afraid I might get kicked out when I visit Xiaoxiao’s house tomorrow, could you do me a favor?”
Mo Xiuchen let out a small laugh, his long narrow eyes squinted, “You don’t mean to ask Ranran and me to go with you to meet your future in-laws, do you?”
Luo Haofeng smiled a bit awkwardly, needing company to meet his future in-laws was quite unbecoming for a grown man like him.
Moreover, these friends were all troublemakers, and they could mock him for a year.
Wen Ran, however, was kind enough not to mock him and readily agreed, “Sure, I promised Aunt Qiao to visit her house with Ziyi and them when I had the time.”
Seeing Wen Ran agree, Mo Xiuchen no longer refused, “Since Ranran agreed, I shall reluctantly accompany you.”
Luo Haofeng gratefully said, “Thank you, Ranran.”
He didn’t need to thank Mo Xiuchen, but with Wen Ran, Luo Haofeng remained polite.
Wen Ran smiled faintly, “As long as you and Xiaoxiao aren’t married, I won’t have peace of mind; besides, this isn’t the first time I’m doing this kind of thing.”
She meant helping Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao hide their relationship, among other things.
Since she was involved in Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao being together anyway, she might as well help them once more; if Aunt Qiao got angry, at most she would get scolded.
Mo Xiuchen held Wen Ran’s hand and stood up, “If there’s nothing else, let’s go home.”
Even company matters couldn’t be dealt with until midnight.
To help Luo Haofeng get married, none of them had gone home until midnight, which was really quite a fuss.
Seeing Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran get up, the others also rose to their feet.
Wen Jin took the coat from the side and said to Luo Haofeng, “I’ll prepare Aunt Qiao’s gift for you.”
Gu Kai laughed heartily, “Ah Feng, you can rest easy now, not only do you have a gift, but someone willing to take the blame for you.”
He turned to Wen Ran and said, “Ranran, if Aunt Qiao gets angry tomorrow, just say Ah Feng forced you to go, don’t take the blame for him.”
“You live up to being Ranran’s brother,”
Luo Haofeng said through gritted teeth.
Gu Kai raised an eyebrow, “Of course, Ranran and I are siblings by blood, you can’t make her take the blame for you when you get married.”
Mo Xiuchen ignored them and helped Wen Ran put on her coat, saying softly, “Ranran, let’s go home.”
“I’ll go with you guys.”
Mo Xiuchen glanced back, his eyes lightly sweeping over Gu Kai, “Let Ah Jin give you a ride.”
Wen Jin, who was mentioned, frowned, “I’m not going the same way as Ah Kai, his house is close to yours, why don’t you just take him.”
“Let Qing Feng drive for you.”
Mo Xiuchen had previously called Qing Feng to pick them up.
Gu Kai’s mouth twitched, “Ah Jin, I’ll have to trouble you to give me a ride. Although Xiuchen is going a bit overboard, considering he didn’t hurt Ranran’s feelings because of another woman tonight, I’ll let it slide.”
“Another woman?”
Wen Jin looked at Gu Kai puzzledly, could it be that Mo Xiuchen was fooling around again?
“Ah Jin, don’t you know? Xiuchen’s company hired an intern, and I could tell right away tonight that woman had bad intentions towards Xiuchen.”
Wen Jin looked at Mo Xiuchen suspiciously, “You have no problem hiring a woman interested in you?”
Mo Xiuchen’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze steady as he met Wen Jin’s questioning eyes, “I have my reasons.”
Wen Jin couldn’t help but frown, “Then you better not let Ranran get hurt. If she feels uncomfortable, don’t blame us for being harsh with you.”
Gu Kai stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Wen Jin, “Ranran has two brothers, after all.”
