Chapter 1894: Chapter 1893: Severing Ties
Mo Xiuchen smiled faintly and said, "I’ve finished dealing with my matters here, I can go back anytime. If it weren’t for Ranran worrying about you and asking me to stay, I would have returned already."
Luo Haofeng detected the complaint in his tone, and his eyes flickered, but he didn’t respond.
After a moment, he asked, "What about Jiang Hui?"
"She’s at the hotel, she’ll be going back with me."
Luo Haofeng sneered, "If Meng Ke finds out that the woman he sent to seduce you not only betrayed him but also revealed their secrets, I wonder if he would regret it deeply."
If it weren’t for this series of events, they truly wouldn’t have realized that Meng Ke was such a deep-minded person.
Meng Ke had always portrayed himself as gentle, honest, and reliable.
Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
Someone who appears good on the outside is not necessarily kind at heart.
Mo Xiuchen sneered, and a hint of coldness flashed in his deep eyes, "Meng Ke also knew there was no absolute certainty."
"I doubt it. Seriously, what woman could resist the charm of you, President Mo? How could Jiang Hui not like you? Since she likes you, seducing you is only natural."
It’s just that Meng Ke didn’t anticipate that Jiang Hui has a bit of sense.
She knows when to choose what’s best for herself instead of going down a dark path.
Mo Xiuchen was indifferent.
There are plenty of women who admire him, but very few who have the guts to seduce him.
Most women still have some sense and know what they should and shouldn’t do, and whether at work or socializing, he always has Wen Ran with him, which serves as a reminder to women with impure intentions not to disgrace themselves.
Mo Xiuchen has never been the kind of man who is tender-hearted towards women; the only one he is tender-hearted towards is his Ranran.
He tossed the newspaper onto the coffee table, reclined his tall figure against the sofa, and said softly, "Ranran and Xiaoxiao should be home by now."
Upon hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s name, Luo Haofeng’s expression slightly changed.
His firm lips pressed together tightly, his eyes turning murky, while his gaze unintentionally fell onto the newspaper on the coffee table.
He didn’t know whether Bai Xiaoxiao had seen that newspaper or how she would feel and what she would think if she did see it.
Seeing through his thoughts, Mo Xiuchen smiled faintly and said in a relaxed manner, "I’ll call Ranran and see if they’ve arrived home."
At that moment, Wen Jin had just parked the car outside Bai Xiaoxiao’s Villa.
Before getting out of the car, Bai Xiaoxiao said to Wen Ran, "Ranran, you and Brother Wen go back first. I’ll call you later."
Although Wen Ran felt a bit uneasy, after all, this was Bai Xiaoxiao’s family matter, and some things aren’t suitable for outsiders to know.
She simply nodded lightly and advised with concern, "If anything comes up, remember to call me."
At this moment, the phone rang. Watching Bai Xiaoxiao get out of the car and enter the villa, Wen Ran pressed the answer button and softly said, "Hello."
"Ranran, are you home yet?"
It was Mo Xiuchen’s warm voice coming through the phone.
Sitting beside her, Ziyi clearly heard his father’s voice too, his bright eyes flickering as he gazed steadily at Wen Ran.
Wen Ran raised her hand, affectionately patted his head, and asked gently, "Ziyi, do you want to talk to your dad?"
"Did Ziyi go to the airport to pick you up?"
Mo Xiuchen asked curiously on the phone, and Wen Ran replied gently, "Yes, my brother and Ziyi came to the airport to pick us up. We just dropped Xiaoxiao home, and we’re about to leave."
Wen Ran was essentially reporting her whereabouts to Mo Xiuchen.
On the other end of the phone, Mo Xiuchen’s brow furrowed with a trace of doubt, "Was it Ah Jin or Ah Kai?"
Actually, he knew the answer himself, with Wen Jin being more likely.
After all, Gu Kai was a family man now, and his rest hours were irregular.
Compared to that, Wen Jin, who didn’t have a girlfriend and was a golden bachelor, didn’t have to deal with women, so he was particularly free on weekends.
Moreover, since Ziyi had an advertisement shoot today, Wen Jin likely accompanied him more.
Wen Ran didn’t answer Mo Xiuchen’s question, but instead asked with concern, "I heard that Luo Haofeng made the news?"
"How did you know? Did you see the newspaper?"
Mo Xiuchen glanced at Luo Haofeng, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him. Upon hearing him speak, the latter’s expression shifted slightly, glancing at him with a hint of tension.
Wen Ran replied softly, "No, I didn’t see it. It’s just that Uncle Bai called just now saying he saw Luo Haofeng in the news, so we sent Xiaoxiao home."
So that’s how it was.
Mo Xiuchen chatted with Wen Ran for a few more moments before hanging up the call.
When Bai Xiaoxiao returned home, her father had also come back.
He was sitting in the living room on the sofa, drinking tea.
Mother Bai was cooking lunch in the kitchen, and upon seeing Bai Xiaoxiao return, Mr. Bai instinctively glanced towards the kitchen, stood up, and gave Bai Xiaoxiao a look.
He signaled her to go to the study upstairs.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, and just then, Mother Bai came out from the kitchen, puzzled, "Xiaoxiao, why did you really come back?"
Earlier, when Mr. Bai said Xiaoxiao had returned, Mother Bai didn’t believe it.
Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao now, she finally believed it to be true and couldn’t help but look at her with a bit more concern and curiosity.
Mother Bai didn’t believe for a second Mr. Bai’s claim that Bai Xiaoxiao came back because she missed them.
Even though Bai Xiaoxiao was smiling, Mother Bai frowned and asked with concern, "Xiaoxiao, did something happen?"
She had just gone to City B yesterday and now was back today.
Unless something happened, how could that be possible?
Bai Xiaoxiao pretended to be cheerful, "Mom, I just missed you guys, and I’m hungry. Can we eat now?"
"Is Luo Haofeng not feeding you or what?"
Mother Bai glared at Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s smile froze a bit when she heard Luo Haofeng’s name, but she quickly smiled normally again.
She pouted her lips and said playfully, "Anyway, I’m just hungry."
Mother Bai was amused by her, "Alright, you’re our little ancestor. If you’re hungry, we eat immediately, but you have to wait a bit longer since one more dish is yet to be done."
"Mom, then hurry up."
Bai Xiaoxiao urged.
Mother Bai chuckled helplessly and turned back to the kitchen.
Mr. Bai had been silently observing the conversation between the mother and daughter. Once Mother Bai returned to the kitchen, he called Bai Xiaoxiao to go upstairs with him.
Bai Xiaoxiao followed behind Mr. Bai and slowly made her way to the study.
"Xiaoxiao, what exactly happened?"
Mr. Bai looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with concern. She didn’t seem well, with an undetectable weariness in her eyes.
Bai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, her emotions churning like the sea, and her hands by her side quietly clenched into fists.
Mr. Bai squinted his eyes, and seeing her not answer, his concern deepened. He called out again, "Xiaoxiao?"
