Chapter 1963: Chapter 1962: I Don’t Want You to Suffer Again
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the handsome face of Luo Haofeng in the mirror, his smiling eyes and brows, and a layer of warmth unconsciously flooded her heart.
Her water-like eyes unknowingly softened.
“Okay.”
Not rejecting Luo Haofeng’s thoughtfulness, Bai Xiaoxiao smiled at the mirror.
Enjoying his service.
After all, it wasn’t Luo Haofeng’s first time combing her hair. He gently held a strand of her long hair with one hand, while the other large hand held an exquisitely small comb.
The comb teeth gently glided through her black, smooth hair with practiced ease, each stroke filled with his deep affection for her.
The air in the bedroom was tinged with a faint happiness.
The mirror reflected a happy scene of the two, and not far behind them, a soft laugh came from the baby crib.
The little mouth grinning, melting hearts with its cuteness.
Bai Xiaoxiao happened to see that scene, and a gentle smile immediately touched her eyes, “Lingling laughed.”
The smile on Luo Haofeng’s lips deepened, and his hands continued to comb her hair, speaking irrelevantly, “I wish I could have married you home sooner.”
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at him coquettishly through the mirror.
“Once the Spring Festival is over, the weather will warm up.”
The implication being that her father’s request for them to marry when flowers are blooming was soon to be fulfilled.
Luo Haofeng bent down slightly, resting both hands on her shoulders, gazing deeply at the woman in the mirror, “Xiaoxiao, I want to marry you home right away.”
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled warmly, “My dad wants Lingling’s last name to be Bai, you really have no objection?”
“No objection at all.”
Luo Haofeng answered without hesitation.
No matter what Lingling’s last name is, she is his daughter.
He is already very content now.
In this lifetime, all he seeks is Xiaoxiao.
Until now, Luo Haofeng understood even more why Mo Xiuchen would compete with three children for his wife.
It’s not that he doesn’t love their children, but rather that he wouldn’t neglect the woman he loves most because of the children.
Luo Haofeng didn’t mind at all that their daughter has the last name Bai.
Bai Family only has Xiaoxiao as a girl, so it’s reasonable for the child to take her name.
Besides, Luo Haofeng felt guilty for not taking care of Xiaoxiao during her pregnancy, so how could he possibly have any objection?
“You’re not thinking of letting the next child take your name, are you?”
Bai Xiaoxiao blinked, asking curiously.
Luo Haofeng chuckled, gently stroking her hair with one big hand, softly saying, “Xiaoxiao, I don’t want any more children, just Lingling is enough.”
“You really don’t want more kids?”
With slight disbelief, Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him.
Both of them were only children, and now that Lingling carries her last name Bai, wouldn’t he want to have another one to carry his last name?
Luo Haofeng answered seriously, “I really don’t want more; having experienced those few hours of childbirth agony with you, I hate myself for letting you endure such pain.”
At the time, he regretted letting Xiaoxiao get pregnant.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart warmed.
She suddenly recalled his low murmurs that night in the hospital room.
She couldn’t help but turn her face, gazing at him from just a short distance, her hands encircling his neck, “Haofeng, that’s something every woman goes through.”
“But I don’t want you to go through it again.”
Luo Haofeng lowered his head, tenderly kissing her forehead, eyelids, cheeks, finally reaching her rosy lips.
Footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Luo Haofeng’s lips released Bai Xiaoxiao’s lips after lingering for a second, as a knocking sounded at the door.
It was followed by Mother Bai’s voice, “Xiaoxiao, I brought up some fruit for you, would you like to eat?”
“Mom, Lingling’s asleep, I was planning to take Xiaoxiao for a walk.”
At some point, Luo Haofeng started addressing Bai’s parents as Dad and Mom instead of Uncle and Aunt.
Both Mother Bai and Mr. Bai had no objections to this change, happily accepting it.
During Xiaoxiao’s postpartum period, Luo Haofeng practically treated this place as his own home.
He only returned home to sleep at night.
Mother Bai laughed hearing Luo Haofeng, “Alright then, take Xiaoxiao for a walk. I’ll look after Lingling.”
Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao’s daughter took the last name Bai, named Qingling.
The difference in name from Qin Mu’s daughter was just one character, and if you ignored the family name, they’d seem like sisters.
Bai Xiaoxiao walked over from the dressing table, taking a piece of fruit from the tray in Mother Bai’s hand to feed to Luo Haofeng, only for him to grab her hand with a smile and feed the fruit back to her.
“Xiaoxiao, you eat.”
Mother Bai watched them, smiling and urging, “If you’re going out for a walk, hurry up. I’ll eat this fruit myself.”
Hand in hand, Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao walked out of the villa, immediately basked in the bright sunlight. Although it was winter, the weather had been clear for the past few days, with temperatures gradually rising. With such bright sunshine, it wasn’t very cold at all.
Still, Luo Haofeng worriedly asked, “Xiaoxiao, are you cold?”
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, “Not cold.”
“Should we walk around here, or drive out somewhere?”
Luo Haofeng asked for her opinion.
“Let’s just walk outside, head towards the park. It’s so nice to breathe fresh air after being cooped up at home for a month.”
Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, surrounded by the faint scent of flowers and fresh air.
Compared to her confinement period, this was truly delightful.
Luo Haofeng’s smile was filled with pampering, his palm turning to interlock their fingers, “Then let’s walk around here. If you get tired, we can come back.”
“When will you return to City B?”
Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng strolled leisurely on the asphalt road outside the villa. This villa area boasted beautiful scenery and an excellent environment.
She tilted her small face slightly to look at Luo Haofeng walking beside her, sunlight filtering through the branches, casting dappled light on his handsome face, making his striking features even more three-dimensional and deep.
Especially with that smile and relaxed brows, he looked indescribably handsome and charming.
Luo Haofeng considered for a moment, then answered gently, “I was just about to talk to you about this.”
“Tell me, I’m listening.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s tone was light and playful.
Luo Haofeng smiled softly, his long fingers brushing past her ear, his broad palm gently caressing her soft hair with affection.
“I need to return next week and then come back to spend the Spring Festival with you.”
“You’re not spending the Spring Festival back home?”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him slightly surprised. She thought Luo Haofeng was going to City B for the Spring Festival.
Now that Wu Jingfang was in prison and only his father was left at home, shouldn’t he be spending the Spring Festival with his father?
Luo Haofeng noticed Bai Xiaoxiao’s thoughts and gently explained, “I’m not spending the Spring Festival in City B. I’m coming back here to spend it with you and Lingling. In addition to that, I want to invite my dad to come to G City for the Spring Festival, and perhaps, formally meet your parents.”
