Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1609: 1608 decided on a blind date

“Yes, there is something.”

As soon as he heard Mo Xiuchen was going to hang up, Luo Haofeng immediately panicked.

Mo Xiuchen straightened up from his chair, walked out of the study, and paced to the window. Outside, the moonlight was as radiant as ever.

“Xiuchen, I’ve decided to go on a blind date.”

“A blind date?”

Mo Xiuchen’s slightly raised tone carried a hint of surprise.

Luo Haofeng actually decided to go on a blind date?

He almost thought he misheard. It’s been two or three years since Bai Xiaoxiao broke up with him. They’ve advised him many times, but he was always unwilling to let go.

The last time, when he took Luo Haofeng to the airport, he even said he wanted to wait until Bai Xiaoxiao was happy.

After not seeing each other for a while, why did he suddenly want to go on a blind date?

Various guesses flashed through Mo Xiuchen’s mind, but he dismissed some as impossible.

Ranran also just received Bai Xiaoxiao’s call this afternoon, saying she was returning to the country.

“Yes, didn’t you advise me to let go last time? I decided to give it a try. My mom keeps nagging me every day to get married early and give her a couple of grandchildren to hug, and then I can be free.”

“You’re doing it to continue the family line?”

“Not entirely, also to solve physiological needs. I’m a normal man, isn’t it normal to find a girlfriend?”

Mo Xiuchen didn’t find Luo Haofeng’s self-deprecating words amusing.

He frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then slowly said, “Well, feelings can be cultivated. When you meet an outstanding woman, you can try to get to know her. Maybe you’ll be moved.”

“Yes, that’s what I think too.”

Luo Haofeng chuckled teasingly over the phone as if he wasn’t the one about to go on a blind date.

In fact, he called tonight to find out if Mo Xiuchen knew Bai Xiaoxiao was returning to the country.

He had already received the news but wanted to confirm it again, yet in the end, he still didn’t ask.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Haofeng put down his mobile phone, picked up a cigarette, lit it, and leaned his tall body into the sofa, smoking with no regard for his image.

Learning about Bai Xiaoxiao’s return was a surprise.

The client who visited the company for inspection last time was not only from D Country but also happened to be from the same city as Bai Xiaoxiao, and they even had business dealings with her company.

This morning, Luo Haofeng was on the phone with Stephen when he inadvertently learned that Bai Xiaoxiao was coming back to the country, having handed over her business there to someone else.

He exhaled a heavy puff of smoke. His features, isolated behind the smoke, were as chiseled as ever, lacking the enchanting beauty of the past, replaced with a sternness.

His facial features were more defined and pronounced than two years ago.

Moreover, he himself was calmer and more composed than two years ago.

As he gently closed his narrow, romantic eyes, the image that came to Luo Haofeng’s mind was Bai Xiaoxiao’s delicate and beautiful face.

Every frown and smile was as clear as yesterday.

He heard his heartbeat pause for a moment, and then each beat carried an inexplicable mix of emotions.

This morning, when Luo Haofeng learned that Bai Xiaoxiao was about to return to the country, he was both excited and happy.

But after the excitement and happiness faded, he calmed down and thought carefully about the future.

During the years Bai Xiaoxiao was abroad, he was always reluctant to go on blind dates or interact romantically with other women. His mother, anxious and displeased, tried every possible means.

But he was unyielding.

After all, with Xiaoxiao abroad, he never contacted her, nor feared his mother’s investigations or monitoring.

But now it’s different; Bai Xiaoxiao has returned, and he can’t guarantee that he won’t run into her.

With his mother’s personality, if he happens to meet Xiaoxiao someday, his mother might stir up trouble.

After pondering, he decided on the blind date!

So, tonight Luo Haofeng specially postponed a dinner to go home and have dinner with his mom.

Surprisingly, his father, Luo Rongbin, was also at home.

At the dinner table, Luo Haofeng proactively asked Mother Luo, “Mom, what about those resources you arranged earlier? I have time this weekend; schedule some for me to meet.”

Hearing his words, Mother Luo was so shocked that the food she was picking up fell back onto the plate. She looked at Luo Haofeng, wide-eyed, “Son, what did you just say, did I hear wrong?”

Luo Haofeng smiled faintly and placed the dropped food into her bowl in front of her, “Mom, I figured it out. I’ve decided to meet those exceptionally outstanding women you mentioned before. Of course, if you think it’s unnecessary, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

“It’s necessary, it’s necessary.”

Mother Luo put down her chopsticks and ran out of the dining room.

Father Luo furrowed his brow, puzzled, and looked at Luo Haofeng, “Ah Feng, why are you suddenly willing to go on a blind date?”

“Dad, you should also try to spend more time with my mom, no matter what, she’s been good to you.”

Luo Haofeng’s evasive reply caused Father Luo’s face to darken.

“Let’s set aside the matters between me and your mom for now; are you really going on a blind date?”

Father Luo asked, still somewhat uneasy.

Over the past two years, Mother Luo tried so hard, using every method, yet there was no sign of their son going on a proper blind date.

But tonight, he was the one who brought up the idea of a blind date.

It’s like the sun is rising in the west.

“What’s true or not, our Ah Feng is now the company’s president, he means what he says. Since he mentioned going on a blind date, it must be true.”

Mother Luo returned to the dining table with a folder in her hands, opened it to show Luo Haofeng, “Ah Feng, these are all women you haven’t met yet. I’ve checked them all out; whether it’s family background, education, or character, they are top-notch.”

“Mom, just arrange them in order – two tomorrow, and two on Sunday.”

Luo Haofeng took just a glance, showing no interest in looking further.

Mother Luo’s smile stiffened for a moment but quickly reverted to a bright one, “Alright, I’ll pick the two best ones for you to meet tomorrow.”

“Hmm.”

Luo Haofeng responded listlessly, as if he wasn’t the one who just eagerly said he wanted a blind date.

A hint of suspicion flashed in Mother Luo’s eyes. She wanted to ask something, but fearing Luo Haofeng might become upset and change his mind, she held back.

Deep in thought, a slight pain came from his fingertip, snapping Luo Haofeng back to reality.

The cigarette he was holding had burned down, scorching his finger.

He flicked the cigarette butt into the ashtray, pursed his thin lips slightly, and picked up his phone again.

His long fingers tapped a few times, and a photo of Bai Xiaoxiao appeared on his phone screen. Luo Haofeng stared at the photo, as memories played like a slideshow in his mind.

“Luo Haofeng, I don’t want to be friends with you. In the future, if we meet, please address me as Miss Bai, or Bai Xiaoxiao.”

A sharp pain hit him in the chest.

Luo Haofeng tightened his grip on the phone.

In his ear, Xiaoxiao’s words – whether angry, annoyed, or irritated – seemed carved into his heart.

No way to forget.

The words Bai Xiaoxiao said to him this morning echoed in his mind, “When I go back this time, I’m going to marry Meng Ke. You’re not young anymore; find someone and settle down soon.”

He closed his eyes tightly, writing a message stroke by stroke: I’m going for a blind date tomorrow!
