Chapter 1919: Chapter 1918: Keep Pretending!
Luo Haofeng originally wanted to hear something from Gu Kai on the phone, but who knew Gu Kai was deliberately not letting him listen.
He got up and went to the window to answer the call.
Seeing Luo Haofeng staring steadily at Gu Kai by the window, Mo Xiuchen couldn’t help but laugh, “Ah Feng, if I were you, I would just go to the obstetrics department to find Xiaoxiao.”
Why wait here for Ah Kai to call for the result?
“I was exercising near Xiaoxiao’s house this morning, and she was very angry. If I show up in front of her now, I’m afraid she’ll be even angrier.”
Although Luo Haofeng had said yesterday that he would wait for Bai Xiaoxiao, until she let go of the past and was willing to accept him.
But he also didn’t want to push her too hard.
Appearing in front of her once a day is still reasonable, but if he knowingly appears again and again when she’s angry,
wouldn’t that be too much?
Gu Kai finished his call and returned to sit on the sofa.
Seeing that he wasn’t speaking up, Luo Haofeng immediately asked, “Ah Kai, how was it?”
“It’s a girl.”
“However, Xiaoxiao and Ranran have already left the hospital. Why didn’t you run into them when you came out?”
“Did they really leave?”
Luo Haofeng asked incredulously. As soon as he got Mo Xiuchen’s call, he rushed over.
Mo Xiuchen pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed Wen Ran’s number.
Ranran should have called him when she left the hospital. How could she not call him and just left?
As soon as the call connected, Mo Xiuchen keenly heard the familiar ringtone coming from the hallway outside. He smiled happily, “Ranran and the others are here.”
Upon hearing this, a trace of nervousness flashed in Luo Haofeng’s eyes. He immediately stood up from the sofa.
Gu Kai looked at Luo Haofeng’s rather unsettled appearance and laughed mischievously, “Quick, go open the door.”
Luo Haofeng was a bit worried, but considering that Xiaoxiao was carrying their daughter, his worries were quickly replaced by excitement. He quickly walked to the door and opened it to greet them.
Outside the door, Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao, hand in hand, just reached the door.
Upon seeing Luo Haofeng open the door, Bai Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, and then her expression slightly changed. Luo Haofeng spoke first, “Xiaoxiao.”
It’s said that even a smiling face cannot be beaten, let alone in public and in front of Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai. Even if Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t want to see Luo Haofeng, she still saved face for him.
She just intentionally distanced their relationship, nodding lightly like a stranger, “Why are you here?”
Luo Haofeng covered his smile, looking like a kid ready to answer all the questions, “Ah Kai called saying he had something for me, so I came. Xiaoxiao, why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?”
Pretend, just keep pretending.
Bai Xiaoxiao grumbled in her heart.
She’d be a fool to believe it was such a coincidence that Gu Kai needed Luo Haofeng at this exact time.
She turned her eyes, looking at Wen Ran with a questioning gaze.
Wen Ran blinked innocently; it wasn’t me who told him.
“Xiaoxiao, Ranran, why don’t you come in first to talk.” Luo Haofeng immediately stepped aside, gesturing for them to enter.
Wen Ran smiled and said, “Since we’re here, let’s go in.”
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded and followed Wen Ran into the office. On the sofa, Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen were looking at them simultaneously.
“Ranran, I just called to check and thought you had already left.”
Gu Kai explained with a cheerful smile, then turned to Luo Haofeng, “Ah Feng, Xiaoxiao can’t drink coffee, and I don’t have any fruits here. Get her a glass of warm water.”
“No need, I’m not thirsty.”
Bai Xiaoxiao refused without thinking.
Luo Haofeng seemed not to hear her refusal, quickly walking over to pour her water.
Mo Xiuchen pulled Ranran to sit beside him, instructing Luo Haofeng, “Pour a glass of warm water for Ranran too.”
“How was the check-up?”
Mo Xiuchen asked softly.
“She’s a girl,” Wen Ran answered with a playful smile, “She will definitely be as beautiful as Xiaoxiao.”
“Girls are great; they’re cute and sweet, and easier to raise than boys.” Gu Kai’s lips curved into a smile, just like how his Tongtong was, much cuter than that little guy.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face was painted with a layer of smile, the unique gentle maternal love of a soon-to-be mother, “I like girls too.”
Luo Haofeng poured two glasses of water, placing one in front of Wen Ran and handing the other to Bai Xiaoxiao, speaking softly, “Xiaoxiao, have some water.”
“Thank you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked up at him briefly, then quickly averted her gaze.
Luo Haofeng sat down beside her, his long, romantic eyes locked onto hers, “Now that we know it’s a girl, we can start preparing the things.”
Apparently not noticing Bai Xiaoxiao’s slightly stiff smile, Luo Haofeng continued excitedly, “Xiaoxiao, what colors do you like? I’ll modify the children’s room later…”
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t listen any longer, looking up at Luo Haofeng, interrupting him, “You don’t have to worry about these things. I’ll prepare everything the baby needs.”
She originally wanted to say “my baby,” but considering the situation, she held back for fear of embarrassing Luo Haofeng.
Luo Haofeng’s eyes dimmed a little, but soon, his smile returned to his face, “Xiaoxiao, how can I not worry? I’m the baby’s father. I have both the responsibility and obligation.”
He spoke of responsibility and obligation, not rights.
Ultimately, he placed himself in a humble position, because Luo Haofeng knew well that the more he acted like this, the more Xiaoxiao wouldn’t bear to hurt him.
“Now that you know the baby’s gender, and the baby will be born in a few months, it’s time to start preparing what you need.”
Gu Kai, seeing the tense atmosphere, smiled as he tried to ease it.
He glanced at Mo Xiuchen and saw that Mo Xiuchen was just looking tenderly at Wen Ran, not listening to their conversation.
Gu Kai continued, “While Ah Feng is in G City these days, you can check out the children’s beds and such at the mall, hurry up and go.”
He said this as he was urging them away.
Initially, he thought Mo Xiuchen hadn’t been listening to their conversation, but then, after Gu Kai’s words, Mo Xiuchen looked up.
He wholeheartedly agreed with Gu Kai’s words, “Xiaoxiao, since Ah Feng is so free, don’t hold back from him. He was right just now, he is the child’s father, and he has the duty and responsibility to do something for the child. This has nothing to do with your current relationship. Today, whatever you want to buy, let Ah Feng accompany you. Meanwhile, Ranran and I can enjoy our time together.”
“Ranran, I’ll take you out to sea for some fun.”
After Mo Xiuchen finished speaking, regardless of their reactions, he lowered his gaze back to Wen Ran, his tone becoming even more gentle.
Wen Ran asked in surprise, “Out to sea for fun?”
“Yes, it’s rare for those three kids to stay at Ah Mu’s home, so we won’t be bothered today.”
Mo Xiuchen didn’t feel guilty at all for leaving the three kids at Qin Mu’s home, thinking it was perfectly fine for him and Wen Ran to enjoy a romantic day.
Now, he also handed Bai Xiaoxiao to Luo Haofeng.
