Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1797: Chapter 1796: Quiet Embrace

On New Year’s Day, after having breakfast at Wen Ran’s home, Bai Xiaoxiao returned home.

It wasn’t until the evening of the third day of the New Year that she found time to meet Luo Haofeng.

“Tomorrow, Brother Wen and Mo Xiuchen are inviting my dad for dinner. Are you going too?”

The two hadn’t seen each other for two days, and when they met, they first engaged in a passionate kiss, then sat on the sofa to talk earnestly.

Luo Haofeng smiled with his lips, wrapped Bai Xiaoxiao’s shoulder with his long arm, holding her tightly in his embrace, with the subtle fragrance of her body lingering around his nose, feeling exceptionally good.

Even his voice was clear and cheerful, “Xiaoxiao, you’re really smart. Originally, I wanted to invite your father myself, but I was afraid he wouldn’t agree, so I had to ask Mo Xiuchen and Ah Jin to do it.”

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, expressing concern, “Is that okay? Although my dad said he doesn’t oppose me being with you, he hasn’t agreed either.”

She was worried that her dad would make things difficult for Luo Haofeng.

Luo Haofeng felt a warm feeling pass through his heart, ready for anything when meeting her father.

The grip on her shoulder tightened slightly, pulling her body closer to his, and he softly said, “Xiaoxiao, for the future of the two of us, even if your father makes things difficult for me, I won’t back down.”

He paused slightly, seeing the worry on Bai Xiaoxiao’s face deepen, and gently reassured, “Don’t worry, your father loves you so much. Since he said he won’t stop us from being together, he won’t put me in a difficult position.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s furrowed brow slowly relaxed, and she looked up at Luo Haofeng, “Since you’ve decided, I can’t stop you from going. I have to trust you.”

Luo Haofeng smiled and gently kissed her forehead, “Xiaoxiao, we will be together forever.”

The current difficulties are just a test of their love.

He believed that once they overcame these difficulties, they would be able to stay together forever without sneaking around like they had to now.

Bai Xiaoxiao felt touched, pressing her small face into his embrace, and tightly hugging his lean waist.

Luo Haofeng’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, his other arm slowly wrapping around Bai Xiaoxiao’s waist, and both remained silent, embracing each other quietly.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was warm and tranquil.

The aura around them was filled with the scent of sweet happiness.

After quietly embracing for a while, Luo Haofeng lowered his head again and gently kissed Bai Xiaoxiao’s fair forehead, from her forehead to her eyebrows, and eyes, cheeks, finally, lingering over her lips.

…

Just as things were getting out of control, a sharp phone ringtone interrupted the intimacy in the living room.

Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng separated, her face flushed, as she lowered her head to take out her phone. Upon seeing the caller ID, her eyes cleared from the daze caused by the passionate kiss.

Luo Haofeng also saw the caller ID on his screen, his brow wrinkled slightly, but he didn’t speak.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked up at him and softly said, “It’s Meng Ke calling.”

Luo Haofeng merely gave a light smile and did not prevent her from answering the call.

Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, calming her mood, and with delicate fingers pressed the answer key, her voice returning to calm and indifferent, “Hello.”

“Xiaoxiao, it’s me. I hope I didn’t disturb your rest?”

Meng Ke’s gentle voice came through, polite and warm as ever through the night and airwaves.

“No, I haven’t rested yet. What about you? Is your injury feeling better?”

She hadn’t visited the hospital in the past few days, originally planning to go see him tomorrow, but Meng Ke’s call came tonight.

Apparently, he had waited two days and lost patience.

Indeed, he had been hurt saving her mother, and Bai Xiaoxiao hadn’t visited him; leaving him alone in the hospital during New Year’s was a bit heartless on her part.

However, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but harbor doubts about Meng Ke.

As Lu Zhiyan’s investigation increasingly pointed evidence towards Wu Jingfang, their suspicions of Meng Ke deepened.

It’s heard that Xu Wanqi finally went to the hospital to see Meng Ke this afternoon.

“The injury is in a place that moves a lot, it won’t heal in two or three days. Xiaoxiao, have you been very busy these days?”

Bai Xiaoxiao complained, “Yes, these days my parents have me visiting relatives, my legs are about to break, so busy I haven’t been able to visit the hospital to see you. I’m really sorry.”

Separated by the phone, Meng Ke couldn’t see her expression but heard the apology in her words.

He chuckled lightly on the other end, instead comforting her, “Once these two days are over and you finish visiting relatives, it’ll be fine. I don’t mind, the hospital has a special nursing assistant looking after me. I worry about you overexerting yourself.”

“Visiting relatives is just visiting, not really tiring. Has anyone other than the special nursing assistant been with you at the hospital?”

“Yes, Yao Yao came to see me, and Xu Wanqi too.”

Meng Ke hesitated slightly when mentioning Xu Wanqi.

After a couple of seconds, he asked, “Xiaoxiao, can you come to the hospital tomorrow?”

“I was planning on visiting you tomorrow anyway. How about I bring you breakfast tomorrow morning? What would you like to eat for breakfast?”

“Anything, as long as you come.”

He just wanted to see her; what he ate wasn’t important.

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed, “How can it be anything? You’re a patient, tell me what you’d like to eat.”

“Xiaoxiao, I want to be discharged tomorrow.”

“Discharged? You’ve only been hospitalized for a few days. The injury is so severe, you can’t be discharged! No, you need to stay a few more days.”

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, immediately objecting.

“Being alone in the hospital is boring. I might as well be discharged. Xiaoxiao, do you remember? Last New Year I went to D Country to find you, and that was the happiest New Year I’ve ever had.”

Meng Ke’s words carried a sense of nostalgia.

Which reminded Bai Xiaoxiao of how he accompanied her abroad during last year’s New Year.

“Meng Ke, your injury is serious, you really can’t be discharged now. It’s late, get some rest, we’ll see tomorrow when I come, okay?”

Bai Xiaoxiao felt a complex emotion brewing inside, no matter what kind of person Meng Ke was, he had indeed been kind to her before.

Meng Ke replied gently, “Alright, I’ll rest first, and we’ll talk tomorrow when you come. You should also rest early, don’t stay up too late; it’s bad for a girl’s skin.”

After hanging up, Bai Xiaoxiao noticed Luo Haofeng had been watching her all along, and she smiled softly, saying gently, “Meng Ke said on the phone just now that he wants to be discharged tomorrow.”

Luo Haofeng’s brow furrowed slightly, pondering for a moment before saying, “It’s only been a few days, why he’s in such a hurry to be discharged? He’s probably saying this deliberately, to make you feel guilty and visit him at the hospital!”
