Chapter 1909: Chapter 1908: Thick-Skinned Enough
In the club next to the equestrian center.
Gu Kai and Wen Jin took on the responsibility of looking after the four children. After eating, they took the kids out to play.
Mo Xiuchen sipped his tea and leisurely said, “Ah Feng, does Xiao Yuting like your secretary Qiao Siyi?”
Luo Haofeng was lost in thought, and upon hearing Mo Xiuchen’s words, he didn’t react immediately.
He stared blankly at him for a few seconds, then shook his head, “I don’t know, why are you asking?”
Mo Xiuchen raised a handsome eyebrow, scrutinizing Luo Haofeng, “Did Xiao Yuting call you about something related to Qiao Siyi? Or did he say he wants Qiao Siyi to come to G City?”
“Xiao Yuting did call me once, just this morning, saying that there were some issues with our cooperation and mentioned that Qiao Siyi solved it last time and specifically asked for her to handle it this time too.”
Luo Haofeng recalled while explaining.
“Did you refuse him?”
“Of course I refused. Qiao Siyi applied for a few days off, and I’m in G City now, yet he insists only on Qiao Siyi. He’s just looking for trouble.”
Luo Haofeng spoke dismissively.
Mo Xiuchen snorted, a meaningful smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, “No wonder he approached Xiaoxiao to have Xiaoxiao call you to bring Qiao Siyi here.”
Luo Haofeng’s eyes flashed with surprise, thoughts turning quickly, suddenly realizing, “Could it be that Xiao Yuting is interested in something other than wine and really wants to see Qiao Siyi?”
Why doesn’t he just say it straight? Why beat around the bush.
He’s sitting here dignifiedly as a president, yet Xiao Yuting specifically asks for Qiao Siyi to handle it. If Luo Haofeng agreed, it would be ridiculous.
Besides, he also needs an excuse to stay in G City.
This way, Xiaoxiao also couldn’t drive him away.
Mo Xiuchen lowered his eyes, his gaze resting on the liquid in the cup, speaking unhurriedly, “Xiao Yuting just went to Xiaoxiao, asked her to call you, and it seems Xiaoxiao was unwilling, so he threatened Xiaoxiao.”
“He dared to threaten Xiaoxiao, then I definitely can’t let Qiao Siyi come to G City.”
Upon hearing that Xiao Yuting threatened Bai Xiaoxiao, Luo Haofeng immediately disagreed.
Xiao Yuting has a favor to ask, yet he’s this arrogant.
Mo Xiuchen looked at Luo Haofeng’s somber handsome face and kindly reminded, “You better agree to Xiao Yuting’s request. If you intentionally make it difficult for him, he might go and plead with Xiaoxiao’s parents to marry Xiaoxiao to him.”
“Who does he think he is, just because he says he wants to marry Xiaoxiao, does he think Xiaoxiao’s parents will agree?”
Luo Haofeng snorted coldly.
“You never know, Xiao Yuting knows everything about the Bai Family, grew up with them. After experiencing Meng Ke’s treachery, and Xiaoxiao broke up with you because of what happened back then. If Xiao Yuting doesn’t care that the child in Xiaoxiao’s belly isn’t his and insists on marrying Xiaoxiao…”
“Damn it.”
Luo Haofeng gritted his teeth.
In contrast to his anger, Mo Xiuchen remained calm and composed, “It’s just a phone call, right? Make a call to have Qiao Siyi come, if Xiao Yuting likes Qiao Siyi, then let him have a go.”
“With you and Xiaoxiao’s current situation, Xiao Yuting getting involved isn’t really a good thing.”
Although Luo Haofeng was annoyed by Xiao Yuting’s threat, considering his current situation with Xiaoxiao, he reluctantly took out his phone.
However, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Bo Yi’s lips curved slightly; if Xiao Yuting wanted to poach his corner, tempt his secretary, he’d let him know his secretary isn’t that easy to get.
Luo Haofeng was very efficient, making a call and within a few words instructed Qiao Siyi to hurry to G City.
But Qiao Siyi seemed unwilling.
You could hear Luo Haofeng saying, “If Xiao Yuting makes things difficult on purpose this time, just come over, I won’t let him bully you here.”
Mo Xiuchen squinted slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, gracefully sipping water.
“How many days are you planning to stay in G City?”
Seeing Luo Haofeng hang up, Mo Xiuchen asked lazily.
His tall figure leaned back into the chair, long legs stretched leisurely, his handsome features marked by a trace of indolence.
Yet it didn’t detract from his noble temperament at all.
Luo Haofeng placed the phone on the table, furrowing his brows in thought, before answering, “I want to stay a few more days, but I’m afraid it might not be allowed.”
What he meant by “not allowed” referred to Bai Xiaoxiao possibly driving him away.
Even though he and Bai Xiaoxiao are broken up now, staying in G City no matter how long, has nothing to do with Bai Xiaoxiao.
But Luo Haofeng stayed in G City to see Bai Xiaoxiao, naturally intending to appear in front of her intentionally or unintentionally.
If he hovered in front of her, Bai Xiaoxiao would certainly be displeased.
Seeing the self-mocking hint at the corner of his mouth, Mo Xiuchen chuckled unkindly, “As long as you’re thick-skinned enough, you can stay here forever.”
Luo Haofeng’s lips twitched, I’m not thick-skinned, I’m trying to win back Xiaoxiao’s heart.
Mo Xiuchen raised his eyebrows indifferently, what’s the difference between the two.
While the two were chatting, Mo Xiuchen’s phone rang.
The caller was Lu Zhiyan, and since it concerned Luo Haofeng, Mo Xiuchen directly put it on speakerphone, hearing Lu Zhiyan’s words over the phone as well.
The matter was handled smoothly.
After hanging up, Mo Xiuchen said lightly, “Now you don’t have to worry.”
“Xiuchen, thank you.”
Luo Haofeng’s face showed a moved expression.
Mo Xiuchen snorted, “I’m just repaying you a favor. You and Ah Mu have helped me for so many years, me helping you with this is nothing.”
He was a man of deep feelings and righteousness, never forgetting how Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu helped him back then.
Therefore, no matter what Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu needed him to do, Mo Xiuchen would do it without hesitation.
Saying this, Luo Haofeng felt a bit embarrassed, “Actually, when I joined the company with you, it was to train myself, I didn’t really help you much.”
Mo Xiuchen gave him a cold glance, “Then just remember my favor, and when I need you to repay it someday, double it back to me.”
“…”
Luo Haofeng was about to say something, when Mo Xiuchen’s phone rang again.
“Why so many calls?”
Luo Haofeng complained unhappily.
In return, Mo Xiuchen gave him an icy look, because this time the call was from Wen Ran.
Without Mo Xiuchen needing to say anything, from the sudden gentleness in his demeanor when he saw the call, Luo Haofeng had his answer, his eyes flashing, not daring to complain further.
“Hello, Ranran.”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes were gentle, his tone soft and harmonious.
The aura surrounding him softened at that moment.
Luo Haofeng, afraid of being a third wheel, stood up and left the private room tactfully.
Yet as he opened the door to the private room, stepping out, he heard Mo Xiuchen’s voice tinged with a trace of doubt from behind, causing him to pause and immediately turn his head to see.
