Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1911: Chapter 1910: Can We Talk?

Bai Xiaoxiao returned home, and just after exchanging a few words with her mother, Mother Bai, the maid came in to say that Luo Haofeng was outside.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression slightly changed.

Mother Bai’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and she said gently, "Xiaoxiao, you and Luo Haofeng have been broken up for so long, this is his first time coming to our house. If you don’t want to see him, just go upstairs first."

The implication was that since he had found his way to their home, they couldn’t just leave him outside.

Bai Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then nodded softly, "Then I’ll head upstairs first."

She didn’t want to see Luo Haofeng; she didn’t want to see him before, and she definitely didn’t want to see him today.

Seeing Bai Xiaoxiao go upstairs, Mother Bai instructed the maid to invite Luo Haofeng in.

Before coming, Mo Xiuchen had reminded Luo Haofeng, so he didn’t come empty-handed but rather brought gifts.

As soon as he entered, he politely greeted Mother Bai, "Auntie..."

Mother Bai had the maid take the gift from Luo Haofeng’s hands, saying courteously, "You shouldn’t have brought gifts. Whenever you want to come, just come by yourself."

"It’s nothing valuable."

As Luo Haofeng spoke, he glanced toward the second floor and said solemnly, "I came today to apologize to you and Uncle."

Mother Bai sighed softly and gestured for him to sit, to which Luo Haofeng complied by sitting down on the sofa.

"That’s the grudge of our previous generation, it’s not your fault, so you don’t need to say you’re here to apologize."

Mother Bai paused for a moment.

Once the maid had placed the teacup in front of Luo Haofeng and left, she continued, "The reason why I stopped you from being with Xiaoxiao years ago was out of fear that one day Xiaoxiao would learn the truth."

Mother Bai knew her daughter; if Xiaoxiao knew the truth, she definitely wouldn’t be with Luo Haofeng.

And indeed, she did not want Xiaoxiao to know about something she had never been able to accept herself.

Luo Haofeng looked at Mother Bai with a face full of regret, "I understand, Auntie, you’re thinking of Xiaoxiao’s best interests. It’s my fault for not handling things well. Now that Xiaoxiao insists on breaking up with me, can you help persuade her?"

"Xiaoxiao is very stubborn. If she weren’t, how could she have stayed with you despite both her father and I being against it?"

Seeing the disappointment in Luo Haofeng’s eyes, Mother Bai felt a pang of sympathy.

"You don’t need to be too upset. Xiaoxiao just can’t accept that matter, it’s not that she doesn’t love you, and she certainly doesn’t hate you."

Perhaps it was that word "love" that stirred Luo Haofeng.

A glimmer of light slowly emerged in his eyes, which were filled with loss.

It was as if the clouds had parted and he had seen the sun. He recalled the message Xiaoxiao sent him in the middle of the night last night.

Although every word was filled with coldness and finality.

But Xiaoxiao was caring for him, not wanting him to stay below her window until dawn, which was why she drove him away.

Hadn’t he known this all along? Xiaoxiao never hated him; she just couldn’t face it.

Thinking of this, a long-missing warmth finally emerged on his handsome features, "Auntie, I will wait for Xiaoxiao for as long as it takes, until she is willing to see me again."

What he actually wanted to say was that he knew Xiaoxiao wanted to come back to him.

"And your parents?"

Mother Bai didn’t initially know that Luo Haofeng had severed ties with his mother, but now she knew.

Mentioning his parents, the warmth on Luo Haofeng’s face faded again.

He hesitated, unsure if he should tell Mother Bai about Wu Jingfang calling Xiaoxiao.

After a moment of hesitation, he finally replied, "My mom did more than one bad thing back then. My dad gathered evidence of her crimes, and soon she will face legal consequences."

Mother Bai was momentarily taken aback, and then a look of realization appeared on her face.

Regarding Wu Jingfang’s fate, she didn’t feel sorry for her at all.

There was nothing wrong with Wu Jingfang loving Luo Rongbin, but she shouldn’t have hurt innocent people in the name of love.

Luo Rongbin was handsome when he was young and the women who liked him were not limited to just Qiao Xiuyun and Wu Jingfang.

If Wu Jingfang could destroy Qiao Xiuyun with such ruthless means, she certainly wouldn’t have shown mercy to other women who approached Luo Rongbin.

"Do you want to go upstairs to see Xiaoxiao?"

After chatting with Luo Haofeng for a while, Mother Bai asked gently.

An expression of joy flashed across Luo Haofeng’s face, "Can I go see Xiaoxiao?"

Of course, he wanted to see Xiaoxiao; if he didn’t, why would he come here?

Just that earlier, without Mother Bai mentioning it, he felt awkward to bring it up himself.

Seeing the hopeful and slightly nervous look on Luo Haofeng’s face, Mother Bai’s heart softened, and a slight smile appeared on her face, "Of course you can go see Xiaoxiao, but before Xiaoxiao accepts you again, you’ll need to be more understanding of her."

Luo Haofeng immediately nodded, "Don’t worry, Auntie. I won’t make Xiaoxiao angry."

"Go upstairs on your own then, I have something to attend to outside, and your uncle will be back later. If you’re not in a hurry, stay and have dinner with us."

As Mother Bai spoke, she stood up, and Luo Haofeng followed suit.

He knew Mother Bai was giving him a chance to be alone with Xiaoxiao, and he was very grateful for that, "Thank you, Auntie."

With that, he bowed to Mother Bai before turning to head upstairs.

In the room upstairs, Bai Xiaoxiao was holding a cushion, curled up on the sofa.

Her gaze was fixed on an unknown spot in the room, her thoughts wandering to who knows where.

The footsteps in the hallway went unnoticed by her until a knock on the door pulled her out of her muddled thoughts.

The knock was gentle, but in Bai Xiaoxiao’s ears, it felt like a heavy hammer striking her heart.

Her heart trembled.

Her previously unfocused gaze quickly sharpened and directed towards the door.

Through the door, she couldn’t see who was standing outside.

Yet her heartbeat was growing increasingly chaotic, as if the person’s presence outside the door was seeping through the cracks, making her feel uneasy.

Bai Xiaoxiao stared intently at the door, remaining silent.

Though she didn’t speak, the person outside didn’t maintain silence for long. His deep, hoarse voice came through the door, "Xiaoxiao, can we talk?"

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face slightly changed.

Her clear eyes were involuntarily painted with complex emotions.

She didn’t know why, but Luo Haofeng’s voice, gentle with a hint of pleading, two parts apology, and an unnamable emotion, seemed like an invisible hand that suddenly grasped her heart.

She just felt a pang in her chest, and her lips instinctively pressed tightly together.

Luo Haofeng was never the type of man who was gentle and refined; he was always domineering. From initially clashing with her to later when they were dating, Luo Haofeng always had a dominant side.

It was ingrained in him, but now, he was humbly asking her for...
