Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1956: Chapter 1955: Let Me Stay by Your Side

Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, looking at her father in surprise.

She wasn’t a fool; was her dad leaving the hospital room with her mom to let Luo Haofeng stay with her?

Earlier, it was her dad who called Luo Haofeng away; what did the two of them talk about?

What kind of agreement did they reach?

With a mind full of doubts, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t have time to stop them before Mr. Bai had already taken Mother Bai out of the hospital room, leaving Luo Haofeng to sit on the edge of the bed, looking at her with gentle eyes.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaoxiao felt like the air in the room had become thin.

She felt a bit uncomfortable, not daring to meet Luo Haofeng’s gaze, so she lowered her eyes and looked at the quilt in front of her.

Luo Haofeng reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt for her, softly asking, “Xiaoxiao, are you cold?”

“…”

Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head.

The next second, under the quilt, her hand was suddenly grasped by a warm, large hand. The familiar warmth seeped through her skin, reaching straight to her heart in an instant.

Her heartbeat skipped uncontrollably.

Her previously downcast eyes suddenly lifted, looking in surprise at the man sitting on the edge of the bed.

Her gaze met his deep and fiery eyes, the rolling emotions of love displayed openly in front of her.

Bai Xiaoxiao only felt her heartbeat go chaotic.

Even though tonight in the delivery room, he had held her hand for hours, and he had witnessed the scene of her giving birth.

However, at this moment, she felt even more uncomfortable than in the delivery room.

Instinctively, she wanted to withdraw her hand.

However, Luo Haofeng held it tightly, tightly enough that she couldn’t pull it out.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him with complex eyes, “Luo Haofeng, let go of me.”

“Xiaoxiao, let’s talk.”

Luo Haofeng gazed at her with tenderness and deep affection, leaning slightly towards her. His breath sprayed over her nose, making it impossible for Bai Xiaoxiao to think clearly.

“Let go of my hand first.”

“Earlier in the delivery room, I was holding your hand the same way.”

Luo Haofeng softly stated the fact.

Bai Xiaoxiao felt her face flush, once again avoiding his gaze, “The circumstances were different back then.”

“Xiaoxiao, you don’t hate me anymore, do you?”

Luo Haofeng changed the subject. If one listened carefully, one could detect a slight, barely perceptible emotion in his voice.

Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, not looking into his eyes, “I don’t hate you, so you don’t need to feel guilty. The reason I asked you to stay with me in the delivery room tonight was just so you could see your daughter being born.”

Fulfilling a father’s responsibility and not wanting to deprive him of the rights of being a father.

Luo Haofeng’s heart first felt a bit happy, then he spoke excitedly, “Xiaoxiao, as long as you don’t hate me anymore, can we be as good as before?”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed, looking at him with a trace of disbelief, “Luo Haofeng, you are with Qiao Siyi now, she is your responsibility.”

Luo Haofeng shook his head, replying without hesitation, “Aside from you and our daughter, no one has ever been my responsibility.”

“But she is now your girlfriend.”

“Xiaoxiao, that’s just a temporary solution. At the beginning, I just wanted to keep Qiao Siyi alive, and I know Xiao Yuting has always liked Qiao Siyi, so Qiao Siyi doesn’t need me now.”

“But Qiao Siyi truly loves you.”

Bai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, her voice carrying a hint of stiffness.

Even though she and Luo Haofeng had broken up and had no relationship anymore, talking to him about his current girlfriend, discussing that woman’s feelings for him, caused Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart to ache intermittently.

“Xiaoxiao, the only person I love is you. There’s never been anything with Qiao Siyi. If she loves me, that’s her business. I’ve already talked to your father and will handle the situation with Qiao Siyi.”

“…”

He tightened his grip slightly on Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand, “Xiaoxiao, give me a little time.”

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t know how to respond.

She didn’t understand what thoughts Luo Haofeng had when he agreed to break up with her to take care of Qiao Siyi back then.

She thought they were truly over.

Even after Luo Haofeng broke up with her and got together with Qiao Siyi, she realized her own heart, understanding that Luo Haofeng was more important than those grievances.

Bai Xiaoxiao hadn’t considered taking Luo Haofeng back.

She couldn’t be that selfish.

Even when Xiao Yuting made that proposal, she sternly refused.

“Xiaoxiao, I don’t need you to agree to be with me right now. You just need to get well during your confinement and not reject my company.”

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly withdrew her hand from his grasp, gently covering her abdomen, and her brows furrowed with it.

Luo Haofeng’s expression tightened, “Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, just a stomachache.”

Luo Haofeng became even more nervous, “How can it hurt even after giving birth? Xiaoxiao, hold on, I’ll call the doctor.”

He said and got up to rush out.

“Haofeng.”

Bai Xiaoxiao was startled, hastily calling out to Luo Haofeng, who was about to run out.

Luo Haofeng’s body stiffened because of her soft call of ‘Haofeng.’ Just a moment ago, she had been addressing him by his full name.

He returned to the bedside, looking at Bai Xiaoxiao with concern, “Xiaoxiao, does it hurt a lot?”

“Don’t call the doctor. It’s normal postpartum lochia.”

Bai Xiaoxiao felt a bit awkward saying those last three words.

Luo Haofeng was still a man. The professional terminology was unfamiliar to him, leaving him bewildered as he looked at Bai Xiaoxiao.

“Is it normal?”

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, “It’s normal, something every woman experiences after giving birth.”

She didn’t want to discuss such matters with Luo Haofeng, but because of his overwhelming concern, he seemed determined to ask until he understood, “How long does this last? Can’t you take some medicine for it?”

“It’s not that painful; I don’t need medicine.”

Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head. She never liked taking medicine unless absolutely necessary.

“You’ve been in pain for several hours tonight, and now you still have to wait. How long more?”

Luo Haofeng’s brows furrowed deeply. After accompanying her through hours in the delivery room, seeing Xiaoxiao still enduring pain, Luo Haofeng couldn’t help but regret letting Xiaoxiao get pregnant in the first place.

“I wouldn’t have had a child if I’d known earlier.”

He mumbled.

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t catch what he said and questioned with a puzzled “Huh?”

Luo Haofeng smiled slightly, “I said, we’ll only have this one child; no more after this.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered, avoiding his gaze.

But she couldn’t deny that deep down she hoped Luo Haofeng would stay with her.

If they truly could be together again, she would certainly cherish it.

However, until Luo Haofeng clarified things with Qiao Siyi, Bai Xiaoxiao could only wait, unable to selfishly hurt another innocent woman for her own sake.
