Chapter 1893 - 1892: Do I Still Have a Chance?
Chapter 1893: Chapter 1892: Do I Still Have a Chance?
Initially, Wen Jin planned to invite Bai Xiaoxiao and Wen Ran, along with Ziyi, for lunch.
But Bai Xiaoxiao received a call from Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai asked worriedly over the phone, "Xiaoxiao, I saw Luo Haofeng’s statement in the newspaper, what’s this about him cutting ties with his mother?"
Bai Xiaoxiao was startled.
Her expression changed slightly, as she wasn’t aware of Luo Haofeng severing ties with his mother.
Recalling what Meng Ke told her yesterday afternoon, Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart suddenly sank.
Did Luo Haofeng decide to sever ties with his mother because she found out about the past, or was it because her knowledge of this matter was related to Wu Jingfang?
Seeing the slight change in Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression, Wen Ran couldn’t help but show concern, looking at her with a caring gaze.
Bai Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together and softly answered, "Dad, I don’t know either."
"You don’t know? Aren’t you with Luo Haofeng?"
"I’m not with him. I’ve returned to G City and will be home shortly."
"You’ve returned... Alright then, let’s talk when you get home." Mr. Bai realized that Bai Xiaoxiao’s words last night weren’t a joke, but something had happened, so he didn’t press further.
He wasn’t at home at the moment anyway.
After the call, Bai Xiaoxiao told Wen Ran, "Ranran, my dad called saying that Luo Haofeng announced cutting ties with his mother. It’s hard to explain on the phone, so I need to go home now."
"Alright then, go home first."
Wen Ran instructed Wen Jin, who was driving, to take Bai Xiaoxiao home.
"Xiaoxiao, don’t worry."
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao tightly furrow her brows, Wen Ran gently held her hand, comforting her.
Bai Xiaoxiao gave a self-deprecating smile, turning her gaze to meet Wen Ran’s concerned eyes, "I’m fine, his matters have nothing to do with me anymore."
There’s no longer any connection between them now, whatever he does has nothing to do with her.
Understanding that she was only saying that, Wen Ran knew Bai Xiaoxiao must be feeling upset, but didn’t know what else to say at the moment.
In reality, when someone is upset, no amount of comforting words can help, so Wen Ran remained silent, just gently holding her hand.
The warmth from her palm was transmitted to Bai Xiaoxiao’s, making her feel the care from her.
Ziyi, though young, was an understanding child. Seeing his godmother in a bad mood, he refrained from finding topics to talk about and sat quietly beside her.
Wen Ran thought of what Mo Xiuchen told her last night, that Luo Haofeng would indeed sever ties with his mother, Wu Jingfang.
Although previously, Luo Haofeng held a glimmer of hope that his father could quell Wu Jingfang’s resentment, leading Xiaoxiao to discover those harsh truths.
However, Wen Ran had no reason to blame Luo Haofeng, as those matters weren’t related to him.
No matter how malicious Wu Jingfang was, to Luo Haofeng, she was the person who gave birth to and raised him, his blood-related mother, leaving no choice.
And early that morning, she had accompanied Bai Xiaoxiao to the airport, not knowing about Luo Haofeng’s announcement.
At that moment, the Luo house was surrounded by reporters.
Luo Haofeng, however, sat on the living room sofa of his villa with Mo Xiuchen. He was smoking, while Mo Xiuchen was inhaling secondhand smoke.
The corner of his mouth still bore a bruise from Mo Xiuchen’s punch yesterday, though it didn’t hinder his smoking, only marred his handsome face slightly.
"My dad said they’ll arrive tonight."
Luo Haofeng’s voice lacked its former clear joy, instead having an undertone of deep despondency.
His whole demeanor was lackluster.
Mo Xiuchen, without asking, knew that he probably hadn’t slept well last night. He reached for the newspaper on the coffee table, his eyes fixated on its content, his handsome brows furrowed tightly.
"What does Uncle Luo plan to do after bringing her back?"
"I don’t know, my dad said I don’t need to worry about it."
Luo Haofeng’s mouth curved into a bitter smile, which suited him as he had no intention of getting involved.
Call it cold or heartless, his heart had already died.
So now he disregards mother-son ties, and no matter what his father does, he won’t interfere anymore.
"And you? What’s your plan?"
Mo Xiuchen believed that today’s Luo Haofeng was much calmer than the one from last night. It wasn’t possible for him not to have any plans for his and Bai Xiaoxiao’s future.
Not holding even a glimmer of hope.
It’s known that Bai Xiaoxiao is carrying Luo Haofeng’s child, and since he’s severed mother-son ties, he probably wouldn’t stay in City B for long.
Indeed, Luo Haofeng said lightly, "I plan to go to G City within three months, and in the future, I’ll settle in G City."
He knew that Bai Xiaoxiao wouldn’t forgive him anytime soon, and perhaps, Bai Xiaoxiao would never want to see him again.
But he wanted to see her.
Aside from going to her city, Luo Haofeng couldn’t think of another way.
Now, there’s simply no room for him to choose.
No matter how much Xiaoxiao doesn’t want to see him, he desires to be closer to her. She and the baby in her womb are Luo Haofeng’s biggest concerns and responsibilities in this lifetime.
He wants to protect them.
He’s truly given up hope, even if Xiaoxiao were to marry another man with his child, he would accept it.
Mo Xiuchen nodded, "That’s good too. Being closer means there will always be a chance."
Luo Haofeng laughed bitterly, "Xiuchen, do you think I still have a chance?"
"Not everyone is like your mother, unable to dissolve the resentment in their heart. Whatever decision Xiaoxiao is making now is just a decision for now."
Mo Xiuchen was well-acquainted with such matters, having ample experience.
Just like Ranran in the past, didn’t she insist on divorcing him with much determination?
Later, didn’t he use methods to make Ranran agree to stay by his side?
As the saying goes, there’s nothing impossible as long as one is determined. As long as Luo Haofeng is willing to wait indefinitely, willing to give selflessly without complaints, Bai Xiaoxiao will eventually be moved.
Moreover, there’s a child between them.
"You know, Xiaoxiao isn’t a heartless person. Once enough time passes and she lets go of her inner knots, she will accept you again."
In the depths of Luo Haofeng’s desolate eyes flickered a glimmer of light. Even knowing he shouldn’t hope, Mo Xiuchen’s words undeniably gave him hope.
Even if there’s only a one percent chance, he’s willing to spend a lifetime waiting.
Thinking of this, a hint of determination peeled off from his dejected demeanor, "Xiuchen, I trust your words."
Mo Xiuchen raised an eyebrow, proudly saying, "Of course, and remember, when have I ever deceived you?"
"Have you resolved your affairs here? When will you return?"
Luo Haofeng thought for a moment, asking him a serious question.
