Chapter 1908: Chapter 1907: Let Them Marry You to Me
This time, it was Xiao Yuting’s turn to be surprised.
He stared wide-eyed at Bai Xiaoxiao, incredulously asking, “Xiaoxiao, are you joking with me?”
She and Luo Haofeng were so close, how could they possibly break up?
Hadn’t Luo Haofeng already met her parents, and they were discussing wedding plans?
“Why would I lie to you?”
Bai Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in annoyance, picked up the water cup in front of her, and took a sip, ignoring him.
Xiao Yuting watched her for a long moment, making sure Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t lying. Still unwilling to give up, he said, “Xiaoxiao, I don’t know why you and Luo Haofeng broke up, but he truly cares for you. Even now, if you bring it up with him, he will definitely agree.”
“Xiao Yuting, don’t make things difficult for Xiaoxiao.”
Wen Ran spoke calmly, “Xiaoxiao is in a bad mood right now. If you really like Qiao Siyi, why don’t you just go to City B to find her?”
“If I could see Qiao Siyi in City B, why would I come looking for Xiaoxiao?” Xiao Yuting replied irritably.
“Why can’t you see her?”
“She took a leave of absence and went somewhere unknown. I just returned from City B.”
So that’s how it is.
It seems Xiao Yuting is convinced that only Bai Xiaoxiao can help persuade Luo Haofeng to have Qiao Siyi come on her own volition.
“So, Xiaoxiao, you have to help me.”
Xiao Yuting had decided to pester relentlessly until Xiaoxiao agreed to his request.
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, feeling speechless, “I told you I can’t help you.”
As she finished speaking, Xiao Yuting suddenly sat up straight, “Fine, I won’t pursue Qiao Siyi anymore. Since you and Luo Haofeng broke up, I’ll go tell your parents to marry you off to me.”
Threat.
This was an outright threat.
Xiao Yuting showed no sign of apology and even raised his eyebrow arrogantly, as if he would really do it if Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t agree.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression changed slightly. Normally, she would have lashed out.
But today, she didn’t. She just rolled her eyes at Xiao Yuting, finding him very annoying.
Xiao Yuting said smugly, “Xiaoxiao, in your parents’ eyes, I’m the best choice right now. If you don’t want to marry me, then help me.”
“Do you really like Qiao Siyi?”
“Of course I do.”
Being doubted, Xiao Yuting seemed as if his dignity was insulted, and his expression immediately darkened.
“I can’t promise anything, but I can give him a call and ask him in a bit.”
“You must make him send Qiao Siyi to handle the matters in G City.”
Xiao Yuting wasn’t looking for uncertainty; he wanted an absolute guarantee that Luo Haofeng would send Qiao Siyi to G City.
“Call Luo Haofeng right now.”
“I said I’d call, and I will. If you don’t believe me, then find someone else,” Bai Xiaoxiao said coldly, pausing, and then added, “Say whatever you want to my parents, see if they agree to your demands.”
Xiao Yuting, seeing Bai Xiaoxiao’s anger, immediately smiled apologetically, “Xiaoxiao, I was just kidding, I wouldn’t do such a thing.”
Bai Xiaoxiao curled her lips, thinking he would indeed do such a thing.
Xiao Yuting took his leave, and Bai Xiaoxiao said to Wen Ran, “Ranran, call Mo Xiuchen and ask him to talk to Luo Haofeng.”
Last night, she had sent Luo Haofeng a message, telling him not to contact her or seek her out anymore.
She couldn’t go back on that and call him again after making such a decision.
Wen Ran nodded understandingly, took out her phone, and dialed Mo Xiuchen’s number.
Even though Mo Xiuchen hadn’t called her, he answered her call quickly in a deep, gentle voice, “Ranran, have you had lunch yet?”
“I’ve already eaten. How are Ziyi and the others doing with their horseback riding lessons?”
“They are doing really well. They are so eager to learn that none of us have had lunch yet. I wanted to call you, but haven’t had the time.”
Wen Ran couldn’t help but laugh, “You must be working hard.”
Mo Xiuchen chuckled on the other end, “Ranran, where are you now? Do you want to come over to the riding field to play?”
Since Bai Xiaoxiao was pregnant, it wasn’t convenient for her to ride a horse.
But Ranran could.
“We’re at a café right now. There’s something I need to tell you.” Wen Ran glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao sitting across from her and spoke with a gentle smile.
“Ranran, what is it?”
Wen Ran organized her thoughts before saying, “Xiao Yuting seems to have developed feelings for Luo Haofeng’s secretary. He just came to Xiaoxiao, asking her to call Luo Haofeng and have Qiao Siyi sent to G City for business.”
“Is that so?”
Mo Xiuchen’s voice carried a hint of surprise.
Since breaking up with Bai Xiaoxiao a few years ago, Xiao Yuting hadn’t been involved in any more scandals.
He basically hadn’t dated anyone else.
Wasn’t he still pursuing Xiaoxiao recently? Now how come he’s suddenly interested in Ah Feng’s secretary?
Mo Xiuchen had met Luo Haofeng’s secretary, a woman with commendable looks and presence.
“It’s true. Xiao Yuting even threatened Xiaoxiao, saying if she wouldn’t help him, he’d tell Aunt Qiao and Uncle Bai to arrange for him to marry Xiaoxiao.”
Wen Ran stood up and walked a few steps away, “Xiuchen, you should just tell Luo Haofeng that it’s Xiaoxiao’s wish for him to send Qiao Siyi to G City on a business trip.”
“Why doesn’t she call Ah Feng herself?”
“Given the current situation between Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng, how could she possibly call him?” If not for being so pestered by Xiao Yuting, Bai Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have agreed to it at all.
Mo Xiuchen was silent for two seconds on the other end before responding in a gentle tone, “Ah Feng will definitely agree.”
“If he knows it’s Xiaoxiao’s idea, he’ll certainly agree.”
“Alright, I’ll tell him later. You can assure Xiaoxiao.”
“Are you really not coming to the riding field? Tongtong wants to talk to you.”
In the background of the call, Tongtong’s voice could be faintly heard.
Wen Ran asked Mo Xiuchen to hand the phone over to Tongtong. Over the call, Tongtong excitedly told her, “Auntie, Ziyi and I both learned how to ride horses, and Momo and Xinxin are almost there too…”
Wen Ran complimented them a few times and reminded them to be safe and to listen.
Tongtong obediently agreed to everything before returning the phone to Mo Xiuchen. The two exchanged a few more words before ending the call.
Returning to her seat, Wen Ran smiled and said, “Xiaoxiao, Xiuchen told you not to worry; Luo Haofeng will agree.”
“Mo Xiuchen and he are as close as brothers, so of course Luo Haofeng will listen to him.”
“It doesn’t matter who he listens to, as long as Xiao Yuting stops bothering you.”
Wen Ran didn’t tell Bai Xiaoxiao that Mo Xiuchen made the proposal to Luo Haofeng under her name.
Bai Xiaoxiao sighed lightly, and when she spoke again, there was a trace of frustration in her voice, “If it weren’t for Xiao Yuting’s threats, I really wouldn’t have agreed to help him.”
Even though Xiao Yuting had turned over a new leaf in recent years, with his previous philandering ways, who knows if he’s truly sincere about Qiao Siyi or just momentarily infatuated?
Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t very familiar with Qiao Siyi, but since she’s Luo Haofeng’s secretary, she hoped that she wouldn’t get hurt.
That’s the so-called love by association.
