Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1948: 1947 Better Than Self-Deception

The air in the delivery room suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Perhaps it was because of Luo Haofeng’s presence, Bai Xiaoxiao even felt that the upcoming pain had lessened a bit.

“Are you sure you can keep standing?”

After the intense pain passed, she began to worry about Luo Haofeng’s leg again.

She didn’t know exactly how badly he was injured, although Wen Ran had mentioned it, she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.

And after so long, his leg still had a limp.

Bai Xiaoxiao saw it with her eyes and felt it in her heart.

Luo Haofeng smiled and shook his head, “I’m fine. My leg doesn’t hurt, and I’ll stay with you all the way.”

Bai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips tightly; her watery eyes gazed at him. After a few seconds of silence, she asked softly, “Was the last injury very serious?”

Hearing this, Luo Haofeng’s eyes flickered slightly, and he replied gently, “Not serious.”

“Xiao Yuting told me that you and Qiao Siyi are getting married on New Year’s Day.” Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t know why, in the throes of labor pain, she was talking about Qiao Siyi with Luo Haofeng.

Yet, she wanted to speak.

Luo Haofeng’s handsome face stiffened slightly, and he gently called out, “Xiaoxiao.”

This call of “Xiaoxiao” was mixed with deep guilt and suppressed pain.

A twinge of pain touched Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart, but instead, a faint smile appeared on her lips, weak and bitter, “I wish you both happiness.”

“Xiaoxiao.”

Luo Haofeng couldn’t say anything else, only calling her name.

Each call of “Xiaoxiao” carried a different meaning he wanted to express.

Without him saying it, Bai Xiaoxiao understood it all.

“Haofeng, I genuinely wish you and Qiao Siyi well; I know you feel sorry for me…”

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t finish her sentence as another wave of pain swept over her; she instinctively bit her lips, her face filled with agony.

Luo Haofeng felt a pang in his heart and hurriedly held her hand tightly.

Bai Xiaoxiao was in such pain that sweat covered her head, and her clothes were soaked.

“Xiaoxiao.”

“…”

Bai Xiaoxiao was in too much pain to speak, desperately holding back the urge to cry.

“I’ll have the doctor give you a pain relief injection.”

“No, no need.”

Bai Xiaoxiao painfully shook her head; she didn’t want the pain relief injection. She had already consulted when she had her last prenatal checkup.

The effectiveness of the painkillers varies from person to person, and receiving one could bring different levels of risk to the mother post-delivery.

Actually, none of these were the most important reasons; the most important thing was she didn’t want Luo Haofeng to leave.

She would rather bear a bit more pain, so he would stay worriedly by her side. Seeing him worried and anxious, Bai Xiaoxiao felt that this pain was worth it.

At this moment, she suddenly let go.

Let go of all the grudges, no longer avoiding him because he’s Wu Jingfang’s son, or because of the harm Wu Jingfang caused her mother back then.

“Haofeng, when the baby is born, you can name her.”

After a complex change in his eyes, Luo Haofeng repressed a certain joy in his heart and gently agreed, “Alright, I’ll name our daughter.”

Outside the delivery room, Wen Ran was sitting with Qiao Xiuyun.

The obstetrics and gynecology director just told them that Luo Haofeng was inside with Bai Xiaoxiao, making Wen Ran feel at ease.

“Aunt Qiao, don’t worry.”

After the obstetrics and gynecology director went in, Wen Ran softly comforted Qiao Xiuyun again.

Qiao Xiuyun, lost in thought, didn’t hear Wen Ran’s words.

Meanwhile, Mo Xiuchen had gone to his office with Gu Kai. The two sat on a leather sofa, with Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao’s phones on the coffee table.

A nurse had just brought them over.

Since Luo Haofeng went into the delivery room with Bai Xiaoxiao, he handed their phones to Gu Kai.

Gu Kai casually picked up Luo Haofeng’s phone and chuckled, “Ah Feng’s phone is turned off; is he afraid Qiao Siyi will call him?”

“You saw how nervous he was about Bai Xiaoxiao earlier. Even if he marries Qiao Siyi, it would only cause the three of them pain.”

Mo Xiuchen said indifferently, not optimistic about Luo Haofeng and Qiao Siyi.

They had known Luo Haofeng not just for a day or two, not just a year or two, but for ten to twenty years.

How could they not understand Luo Haofeng? Maybe he used to indulge in the world, but he wasn’t someone who would settle for less.

His relationship with Bai Xiaoxiao, with its on-again-off-again nature, had only grown deeper over the years. Mo Xiuchen recalled seeing Luo Haofeng in tears after breaking up with Bai Xiaoxiao at the hospital last time.

It made him think of himself; when Ranran wanted to divorce him, he was so heartbroken.

Luo Haofeng’s love for Bai Xiaoxiao was likely no less than his love for Ranran.

Such a deep love rooted in his bones, how could he possibly forget, how could he let go, and be happy with another woman?

“I’ll turn his phone on.”

Gu Kai pondered for a moment, his finger on the power button, looking at Mo Xiuchen with a questioning gaze.

Mo Xiuchen raised his eyebrows, not objecting.

As soon as the phone turned on, countless alert sounds began.

A dozen calls and three messages, all from Qiao Siyi.

Gu Kai didn’t read the message content; he just stared at the ten missed calls, his handsome brows tightly furrowed, “If Qiao Siyi finds out Ah Feng is with Bai Xiaoxiao for the delivery, I wonder if she’ll be angry, disappointed, or decide to break up with him.”

Mo Xiuchen sneered, “Qiao Siyi isn’t unaware that the person Ah Feng loves is Bai Xiaoxiao, and she surely knows he stayed in G City for Bai Xiaoxiao.”

“Knowing in her heart is one thing, but having it verified is another.”

Gu Kai spoke nonchalantly, considering that day, Ah Feng said he was in G City for a business trip. Qiao Siyi believed him and wouldn’t overthink it.

Plotting something mischievous in his mind, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated.

Gu Kai was startled, then his eyes lit up, and he smiled, “Another call?”

Mo Xiuchen lazily said, “Didn’t you want her to know? Although the truth might be a bit harsh for Qiao Siyi, knowing it clearly is better than deceiving herself.”

At least they hadn’t married yet, and if Qiao Siyi could think it through and let go, Luo Haofeng had ways to compensate her.

In Mo Xiuchen’s view, it’s much better for her than holding onto a man who doesn’t love her for a lifetime.

Gu Kai’s long fingers pressed the answer key, and a faint ‘hello’ escaped his lips.

Upon hearing a voice that wasn’t Luo Haofeng’s, Qiao Siyi on the other end immediately asked, “Who are you, and why do you have Haofeng’s phone?”

“I’m Gu Kai.”

Gu Kai answered briefly; his deep, calm voice made Qiao Siyi even more worried as a bad premonition surged in her heart, “Doctor Gu, where is Haofeng? Why are you answering his phone? Did something happen to him?”

“Don’t worry; Ah Feng hasn’t had an accident. It’s because Xiaoxiao is having the baby, and he’s with her.” Hearing him say this, Mo Xiuchen glanced at him from the opposite sofa, stood up, and went to pour himself a drink.
