Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1954: Chapter 1953: I Love Xiaoxiao

In the café across from Kangning Hospital.

Mr. Bai and Luo Haofeng sat by the window, turning their heads to see the hospital across the way.

The air was filled with a faint scent of coffee, accompanied by the gentle and melodious sound of music, yet the atmosphere between Mr. Bai and Luo Haofeng was serious.

“I’ve heard that you’re with your secretary.”

Mr. Bai gazed with deep eyes at Luo Haofeng, who was seated opposite, surrounded by an oppressive and somber aura.

Luo Haofeng’s expression stiffened slightly, but he did not avoid Mr. Bai’s sharp gaze.

After a moment of internal contemplation, he humbly explained, “Uncle, back then, it was because Qiao Siyi couldn’t initially accept the harsh reality of me having to amputate a leg, and she was too emotionally agitated. I was with her temporarily to persuade her to undergo the surgery, to keep her alive.”

“But you have already set a wedding date.”

Mr. Bai looked at Luo Haofeng with a gloomy face.

Xiaoxiao indeed likes Luo Haofeng, but Luo Haofeng is now with another woman, and they’re soon to be married, which is undeniably true.

“Uncle, though Qiao Siyi and I have set a wedding date, it doesn’t mean I will definitely marry her. Actually, Xiao Yuting has always liked Qiao Siyi, and maybe the two of them will end up together.”

“Xiao Yuting?”

Mr. Bai raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Luo Haofeng nodded, explaining gently, “Yes, Xiao Yuting has always liked Qiao Siyi. At that time, Qiao Siyi attempted suicide because of the amputation. Xiao Yuting called Xiaoxiao to help persuade her to live. In such circumstances, I had no choice but to agree to take care of her.”

“So what now? Are you going to break up with Qiao Siyi, or is it because you’re the father of Xiaoxiao’s child and feel guilty for being with another woman, prompting you to stay with her in the delivery room?”

Mr. Bai did not soften his demeanor due to Luo Haofeng’s explanation; he remained very serious throughout.

This concerns his daughter’s happiness, and he could not allow Luo Haofeng to keep one foot in both camps.

If Luo Haofeng planned to continue with Qiao Siyi, or even marry her, then he would no longer be allowed in Xiaoxiao’s life.

With Qiao Xiuyun’s past experiences, Mr. Bai did not want to take any risks, or let Xiaoxiao become the object of any other woman’s jealousy.

Hearing this, Luo Haofeng grew a little impatient; he suddenly stood up from his chair, looking seriously at Mr. Bai, “Uncle, I came to G City this time for Xiaoxiao. I’m not accompanying her in the delivery room out of guilt.”

He took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and continued, “I love Xiaoxiao. From the beginning to the end, Xiaoxiao has always been the one I love.”

“But you indeed promised another woman you would take care of her for life. Luo Haofeng, you’ve hurt my daughter more than once. Do you think you can just turn back whenever you wish?”

Mr. Bai’s expression changed, his voice suddenly tinged with anger.

Luo Haofeng frowned, his thin lips tightly pressed together, but his tone remained firm under Mr. Bai’s anger, “I admit, breaking up with Xiaoxiao to take care of Qiao Siyi hurt her. But Xiaoxiao couldn’t let go of the past and was unwilling to accept me. I had no choice.”

“Didn’t you say you’d be willing to wait for Xiaoxiao, even a lifetime?”

Mr. Bai looked at him coldly.

Luo Haofeng nodded, “I am not afraid of waiting for Xiaoxiao a lifetime. I just don’t want her to suffer in pain forever. During those months when she refused to accept me, she was not better off than I was.”

“So when Qiao Siyi, unable to face losing a leg, threatened suicide, and Xiao Yuting pressured me to take responsibility for her, plus her mother threatened me, I agreed to be responsible for Qiao Siyi to prevent the company from being affected.”

“But I hoped Xiaoxiao, through this matter with Qiao Siyi, could let go of the past and see her true heart.”

“…”

Mr. Bai did not immediately respond, just looking deeply at Luo Haofeng, seemingly assessing the truth in his words.

Did he truly think that back then, or was it a current pretext?

Luo Haofeng faced Mr. Bai’s scrutiny with calm honesty.

The air between them paused for a moment.

After a full minute, Mr. Bai finally spoke in a low voice, “So what’s the result? Has Xiaoxiao realized her heart, or has she agreed to be with you?”

Luo Haofeng showed a faint bitter smile, “Xiaoxiao hasn’t agreed to be with me, but I feel she has let go of the past. So, I won’t give up on Xiaoxiao. I’ll handle things with Qiao Siyi.”

“Aren’t you afraid she’ll attempt suicide again?”

Mr. Bai sneered coldly, not believing Luo Haofeng could so easily brush off Qiao Siyi.

Luo Haofeng’s expression didn’t change, his tone only slightly indifferent, “If she tries to commit suicide again, that’s Xiao Yuting’s concern.”

Mr. Bai was slightly stunned, not missing the hint of indifference in Luo Haofeng’s demeanor.

He certainly felt no sympathy for Qiao Siyi, as his concern was for his daughter’s happiness. Whatever happened between Luo Haofeng and Qiao Siyi was their business.

“Until you resolve things with Qiao Siyi, I won’t agree to you and Xiaoxiao being together.”

This outcome was within Luo Haofeng’s expectations; he accepted it calmly, “Uncle, rest assured, I will handle the situation with Qiao Siyi. In fact, even if you agree, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t agree.”

He had known Xiaoxiao long enough to understand her nature thoroughly.

As long as his ties with Qiao Siyi weren’t severed, how could Xiaoxiao entangle with him?

Her allowing him in the delivery room today was a matter of special circumstances.

Reflecting on this, Luo Haofeng felt a slight pain in his heart, thinking of the hours of agony Xiaoxiao endured in the delivery room, and his heart ached immensely.

He gently pressed his thin lips together, softly speaking, “Uncle, Xiao Yuting has already rushed to B City. I said I would give him one night to persuade Qiao Siyi. Tomorrow, I will call her about the breakup. Tonight, I want to stay with Xiaoxiao at the hospital, and I hope you and Auntie agree.”

“…”

Mr. Bai squinted his eyes; the aura around him was icy.

Luo Haofeng looked at him sincerely, “Uncle, please believe me. I won’t hurt Xiaoxiao, and she needs me with her now.”

“Her mother can be with her.”

“It’s not the same, Uncle. After tonight, the hours I spent with Xiaoxiao, her attitude towards me has improved significantly. I don’t want to fall short. I hope Xiaoxiao can genuinely let go of the past and live happily.”

Mr. Bai gazed at Luo Haofeng’s determined expression, unsure where he got the confidence and such judgment, but in the end, he nodded silently.
