Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1650: Chapter 1649: Her Wrist Was Seized by a Large Hand

Feeling the faint sadness in Bai Xiaoxiao’s smile, Luo Haofeng’s heart tightened slightly.

A trace of distress quickly spread from his heart.

He stared at Bai Xiaoxiao’s insincere smile, and Bo Yi’s lips instinctively pressed together.

“Xiaoxiao.”

When he spoke again, Luo Haofeng’s voice carried an extra touch of deepness and compassion.

The sunflower seeds in Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand fell onto the table. She looked up at Luo Haofeng.

“Are Qin Mu’s parents pressuring you to marry him?”

Luo Haofeng didn’t know why he asked.

But he just didn’t want Xiaoxiao to be even slightly unwilling or unhappy.

He broke up with Bai Xiaoxiao back then because of his mother…

He couldn’t bring Xiaoxiao happiness, but he hoped she would be happy.

However, today, seeing Qin Mu’s cousin Li Shi Yao show up at Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran’s house, and say those things right in front of him, made Luo Haofeng uncomfortable.

Facing Luo Haofeng’s concerned gaze, Bai Xiaoxiao forced a light smile and said in a pretend carefree manner, “No, his parents treat me well. You heard it today; his mother invited me to their house tomorrow.”

“Xiaoxiao.”

Luo Haofeng’s tone was somewhat hesitant.

There were things he wanted to say.

But he was afraid that saying them would make Xiaoxiao angry.

Bai Xiaoxiao also seemed to detect a strange emotion in Luo Haofeng’s voice, her heartbeat unconsciously quickening.

Afraid he might say certain things.

“Here, eat.”

She handed him the peeled sunflower seeds, and Luo Haofeng sighed inwardly, curled his lips into a smile, and took them.

“Xiaoxiao, if, and I’m just saying if.”

Luo Haofeng ate the seeds and continued his earlier conversation.

Bai Xiaoxiao blinked, her watery eyes fixed on him.

“If you’re not happy with Qin Mu, don’t force yourself, okay?”

The smile tugging at Luo Haofeng’s lips was a bit forced, as if his words were a curse condemning Xiaoxiao to unhappiness.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression froze slightly.

She pursed her lips, not immediately responding to Luo Haofeng.

“Xiaoxiao, it’s not that I don’t wish you happiness, I just fear you might be forcing yourself. Qin Mu treats you well, but marriage is a lifelong matter; it shouldn’t be settled for.”

“What about you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao replied with a question instead.

Her gaze on Luo Haofeng moved from initial bewildered astonishment to a mixture of questioning and displeasure.

She didn’t understand why she felt that kind of anger.

But when Luo Haofeng said those words, she indeed felt angry, not only angry but also wronged.

Since she couldn’t be with him, why was he still concerned about her, causing her every resolution to erase him from her heart to end in failure?

Luo Haofeng hadn’t expected Bai Xiaoxiao would question him back.

He was momentarily stunned.

His long, romantic eyes blinked, and he responded without hesitation, “As long as you’re happy, I’ll get married.”

As long as you’re happy, I’ll get married!

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in shock.

She stared at Luo Haofeng in disbelief; deep down, she knew his feelings for her.

But she couldn’t believe he’d say something like that.

He had always been single, unwilling to start a new relationship because she hadn’t found happiness yet.

For no reason, her nose tingled.

Bai Xiaoxiao stood up abruptly.

“Xiaoxiao.”

As she turned, not taking a step, a firm hand clasped her wrist.

Luo Haofeng’s voice, carrying a hint of nervousness, sounded low beside her.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s body stiffened.

The spot where he grasped her wrist felt like an electric current coursed through, an unfamiliar, complex sensation rushed to her heart.

She stood there.

Her eyes complex as she looked at Luo Haofeng.

Lightly pressing her lips, her emotions subtly revealed.

Luo Haofeng looked at such Bai Xiaoxiao, his mood fluctuating along.

The grip on her wrist didn’t loosen a bit, as though afraid she’d escape if he let go.

The eye contact seemed to freeze time for a moment.

Even the air stopped flowing.

A breeze blew by, carrying a faint floral fragrance; in this autumn afternoon, sunlight refracted through the tree canopy, shining on the two people, one standing and one sitting, beneath the tree.

The atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.

After a long while, Luo Haofeng softly said, “I don’t mean anything else, just hoping for your happiness. Xiaoxiao, you said that if we can’t be lovers, we can still be friends, right?”

Bai Xiaoxiao diverted her gaze from his handsome face, looking up at the sky.

“Sit down.”

Luo Haofeng’s tone was something Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t refuse.

She pursed her lips, her voice slightly stiff, “Let go of me; I’m not going.”

“Okay.”

The words ‘not going’ immediately dissipated Luo Haofeng’s worry like clouds, bringing a charming smile to his handsome face.

Such a smile had rarely appeared on Luo Haofeng’s face since their breakup.

Yet when facing Bai Xiaoxiao, he couldn’t help but smile.

It felt like she was a key, only with her he would smile like this.

Bai Xiaoxiao set aside the discomfort in her heart, whispering, “Qin Mu treats me well, and his family treats me kindly too. You really don’t have to worry. We’ve discussed it; I’ve just returned to the country, and after a few months of getting to know each other better, I’ll marry him.”

Luo Haofeng’s smile froze suddenly.

“As long as you’re happy, I will bless you both.”

After a moment, the smile returned to his face, even more radiant than before, but Bai Xiaoxiao felt that the smile had lost the genuineness it had before.

“Thank you, and don’t be too picky. I also wish you find happiness.”

Bai Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

From the direction of the living room, Mo Xiuchen’s voice came, “Ah Kai, I’ll get the car, you carry Yiyi to the door.”

Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng turned their heads simultaneously, seeing Gu Kai carrying Bai Yiyi out from the living room, Yiyi wrapping her arms around his neck, biting her lips, a face of restrained pain.

“Yiyi is going into labor.”

Bai Xiaoxiao said, getting up to run toward them.

Wen Ran followed behind Mo Xiuchen, coming out together with Wen Jin, Jing Xiaocha, Gu Yan, and others.

For now, Qin Mu and An Lin were not seen, probably because An Lin was inconvenient, and Qin Mu stayed behind to take care of her.

“Xiaoxiao, Yiyi is about to give birth, I need to make a trip to the hospital, An Lin and Ah Mu are still here, you guys don’t need to follow, stay and help me watch over those little ones.”

“Xiaocha, you stay too.”

Hearing this, Wen Jin turned and instructed Jing Xiaocha as well.

Jing Xiaocha quickly nodded, “Okay, Brother Wen.”

“Alright, go to the hospital then.” Several little ones also ran out following them, and behind them were Qin Mu and An Lin, along with Nanny Zhang and others.

“Remember to call back later.”

Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at the little ones running up from behind, then reminded Wen Ran.

Wen Ran agreed, seeing Mo Xiuchen drive the car out, she hurriedly ran forward to open the car door, allowing Gu Kai to carry Bai Yiyi into the car.
