Chapter 1855: Chapter 1854: How Sincere Is He?
The next morning, Bai Xiaoxiao got up early.
Even though she slept late last night, she was in great spirits.
As soon as she went downstairs, she went straight to the kitchen and hugged Mother Bai from behind, who was busy, whining she said, “Mom, thank you for your hard work.”
Mother Bai turned around to look at her, her eyebrows soft with motherly love, “It’s good that you know I’m working hard. Why did you get up so early this morning after coming back so late last night? Didn’t I say you don’t need to go to work at the company today?”
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled brightly and deliberately rubbed her head against her mom, pouting slightly, “I’m hungry and can’t sleep.”
Mother Bai gave her a reproachful look, “Go outside and wait for a few more minutes, it’s almost ready.”
“Where’s Dad?”
“He should be watering the flowers in the garden.”
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly and said cheerfully, “Mom, I’m going to find Dad.”
Just as she was about to leave, Mother Bai picked up a dumpling and fed it to her mouth, “Weren’t you hungry? Eat a dumpling first.”
Bai Xiaoxiao giggled and ate the dumpling fed by Mother Bai, “Thanks, Mom.”
She turned and ran to the garden to find her dad.
Mr. Bai had already finished watering the flowers and was sitting at a small table, drinking tea.
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao come out, he waved at her with a smile, “Xiaoxiao, why are you up so early?”
“Dad, I have something to tell you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao sat down on the chair next to Mr. Bai, unlike in the kitchen, she didn’t act spoiled; her expression was serious when she spoke.
Mr. Bai chuckled, looking at Bai Xiaoxiao with affectionate eyes, “Is it because of Luo Haofeng again?”
A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes before she understood, her father was quite perceptive, he knew she snuck out so late last night to meet Luo Haofeng.
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and lowered her voice, “Dad, Luo Haofeng said he wants to visit you and Mom today.”
Mr. Bai’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, deep and contemplative eyes reflecting a moment of thought, “Xiaoxiao, tell Dad, are you really pregnant?”
Bai Xiaoxiao averted her gaze, avoiding Mr. Bai’s eyes.
Mr. Bai understood, his voice slightly heavier, “In this case, he should come to see us.”
Last time Bai Xiaoxiao told Qiao Xiuyun she was pregnant, Mr. Bai knew it was false.
But last night, Xiaoxiao suddenly ran to the bathroom to vomit, and Luo Haofeng rushed to G City overnight.
And decided to visit today, aside from Bai Xiaoxiao actually being pregnant, Mr. Bai couldn’t think of any other reason for Luo Haofeng’s urgency.
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her head again, looking at Mr. Bai, a bit worried, and asked, “Dad, do you think my mom will kick Luo Haofeng out when he comes home?”
“What if your mom really kicks him out?”
Mr. Bai responded with a question instead of answering.
Although he didn’t oppose Xiaoxiao being with Luo Haofeng, he couldn’t make an enemy of his own wife for Luo Haofeng either.
If such a situation really happened, Mr. Bai would undoubtedly, without hesitation, stand on Mother Bai’s side and help her chase Luo Haofeng out.
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned in distress, “I just want Dad to help me.”
As she spoke, Bai Xiaoxiao grabbed Mr. Bai’s arms and shook them.
Mr. Bai helplessly smiled, “I’ll help you when I should, but whether Luo Haofeng will be kicked out or not depends on how sincere he is.”
“If he wasn’t sincere, why would he come to the house, Dad, you know Luo Haofeng is truly sincere towards me.”
Bai Xiaoxiao unhesitatingly defended Luo Haofeng.
“You haven’t even married Luo Haofeng yet, and you’re already speaking for him; truly, a daughter grows up and can’t be kept from leaving.”
This time, Mr. Bai felt a bit melancholic.
The daughter he has pampered like a treasure since childhood gets snatched away by another man in the blink of an eye.
Don’t even mention how uncomfortable he felt inside.
Bai Xiaoxiao coquettishly coaxed Mr. Bai again, “Dad, I’m not taking his side, I’m just speaking the truth; would you rather I miss out on a man who’s good to me and marry someone who’s not?”
“…”
You heartless one, if I didn’t want you to marry someone good, would I even agree to Luo Haofeng?
“So, Dad, you have to help me later.”
“How are you planning to tell your mom?”
Mr. Bai frowned as he looked at Bai Xiaoxiao.
“I’ll tell Mom during breakfast.”
Bai Xiaoxiao laughed slyly, trying to win favor, “Dad, could you not go to the company today?”
Mr. Bai scoffed, “If I go to the company, who’ll help you speak?”
After thinking for a few seconds, he lightly said, “Later, you don’t need to tell your mom, I’ll do it.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes brightened, “Dad, you’re the best!”
Mr. Bai was still amused by her, “Don’t say I’m good so early. If your mom doesn’t agree today, you mustn’t argue with her, okay?”
“I know, I’m not a child anymore; I won’t argue with Mom.”
“Good to know, this matter has reached this point and needs resolution.”
Mr. Bai sighed, let Bai Xiaoxiao’s hands off his arms, stood up, and walked towards the living room.
Bai Xiaoxiao stood by the small table in the garden, watching her father enter the living room before pulling out her phone and dialing Luo Haofeng’s number.
After two rings, Luo Haofeng’s voice came through, “Xiaoxiao.”
“I just spoke to my dad. You can come today, but don’t come too early; my mom doesn’t know yet.”
“You only told your dad?”
“My dad said he would tell my mom.”
Bai Xiaoxiao replied truthfully.
“Okay, I’ll be at your house around ten o’clock. Mo Xiuchen and Ranran agreed too; they’ll bring the three little kids along.”
“Why do I hear a car? Where are you going so early?”
On the phone, the sound of a car horn made Bai Xiaoxiao frown slightly.
Luo Haofeng laughed twice on the other end, “I’m going to Ah Jin’s place for something; later, I’ll come over with Mo Xiuchen and the others.”
Bai Xiaoxiao stayed in the garden for a few more minutes, giving time for her dad to speak to her mom.
Ten minutes later, Bai Xiaoxiao went into the living room, noticing clearly that her mother was cold towards her.
Oh, it wasn’t just cold, when she saw her coming in, she gave her a stern glare.
Bai Xiaoxiao innocently blinked and didn’t feel wronged or unhappy because of Mother Bai’s glare, instead enthusiastically helped out, “Mom, I’ll take that.”
“Don’t touch it carelessly; be careful not to burn yourself.”
Mother Bai said, moving away with the porridge in hand.
Bai Xiaoxiao cheekily smiled, “Mom, your porridge smells better and better.”
“Stop flattering me.”
Mother Bai was not at all indulgent, carrying the porridge straight into the dining room.
Bai Xiaoxiao followed into the dining room, pulling out a chair and sitting down, then heard Mother Bai ask, “When did Luo Haofeng come to G City?”
“Last night.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, but she replied obediently.
Mother Bai’s face darkened, Bai Xiaoxiao thought she was going to get angry about sneaking out to see Luo Haofeng last night, but Mother Bai asked, “Did his parents agree for him to visit us?”
