Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1799: Chapter 1798: Luo Haofeng Meets His Future Father-in-law

Suburban Villa

Mo Xiuchen watched Luo Haofeng looking into the mirror repeatedly, his meticulously groomed appearance resembling that of an ancient minister meeting the emperor.

He chuckled and said, “Ah Feng, stop grooming yourself. If you continue, Uncle Bai will only think you’re too flashy and insincere.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Haofeng, who was focused on the mirror, turned around and frowned at Mo Xiuchen, who was lounging elegantly in a nearby chair.

Annoyed, he said, “Xiuchen, can’t you say something nice to boost my confidence?”

Mo Xiuchen laughed dismissively, “Aren’t you always overflowing with confidence? Do you really need someone else to boost it?”

“How can an ordinary day compare to today? Today I’m meeting Xiaoxiao’s dad, my future father-in-law.”

Luo Haofeng retorted discontentedly.

His words amused Mo Xiuchen.

Mo Xiuchen’s smile gradually spread across his handsome face, eventually lighting up his entire expression.

To Luo Haofeng, it was tempting to punch that handsome face.

“Ah Feng, it’s not like you haven’t seen Uncle Bai before; there’s really no need for such extravagance.”

As he finished speaking, footsteps sounded in the hallway outside.

Soon, Wen Jin’s tall figure appeared at the door, leaning lazily against the frame with no intent to enter.

“Ah Feng, are you ready? Can we go now?”

Luo Haofeng nodded, gestured for Mo Xiuchen to move along, and strode toward Wen Jin, “We’ve been waiting for you this whole time.”

Wen Jin scoffed, squinting as he surveyed Luo Haofeng from head to toe, “Ah Feng, are you meeting Uncle Bai today or planning to hold the wedding with Xiaoxiao?”

Luo Haofeng rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows like a proud peacock, “You’re just jealous of my looks, I know.”

Wen Jin twitched his mouth.

Mo Xiuchen laughed heartily, rising leisurely from his chair and strolling to the door, “Ah Feng, both Ah Jin and I are jealous of your looks, so we’ve decided not to go with you.”

Following Mo Xiuchen’s comment, Wen Jin laughed as well.

Luo Haofeng’s expression changed, “Xiuchen, I wasn’t talking about you.”

“You didn’t mention me, but you mentioned Ah Jin. Remember, Ah Jin is Ranran’s brother, and Ranran is more important to me than myself. You actually dared to say her brother is jealous of you, implying that Ah Jin isn’t as good as you, thus Ranran isn’t either. The woman I love isn’t good enough, so that means I’m inferior to you…”

“Xiuchen, I was wrong, okay?”

Luo Haofeng quickly raised his hands in surrender.

If Mo Xiuchen kept twisting things, Luo Haofeng was going to get dizzy.

“Looks like you’re in a good mood today.”

Wen Jin glanced at Mo Xiuchen and casually remarked.

Mo Xiuchen raised an eyebrow, “Of course, I’m in a good mood every day.”

With that, he bumped Luo Haofeng to the side with his arm and strode out of the room and down the stairs.

In the living room downstairs, Wen Ran was playing with three children.

Mo Xiuchen walked to the sofa and sat next to Wen Ran; Momo and Xinxin immediately ran over to him.

“Ranran, do you want to come along?”

“I’ll pass, you guys go ahead. I’ll stay home with these little ones.”

Wen Ran shook her head with a smile.

Ziyi looked up from his snacks, “Mom, you should go. We’ll go play with Tongtong later; you don’t need to keep us company.”

Wen Ran chuckled, “Ziyi, you don’t need me to keep you company, but Momo and Xinxin do!”

“Alright, then you stay with them. I’ll join Ah Jin and Ah Feng to meet Uncle Bai. We won’t be home for lunch today.”

Wen Ran nodded with a smile, “You all go ahead.”

“Ranran, if anything happens, remember to call me.”

Mo Xiuchen reminded her as if Wen Ran were a child, unable to be without him for a minute.

They had arranged to meet Mr. Bai at the Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, in a private room reserved for them on the third floor.

Unexpectedly, when Mo Xiuchen, Luo Haofeng, and Wen Jin arrived at Yi Pin Xuan, Mr. Bai wasn’t alone in the private room; there was also Xiao Yuting.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Bai smiled and explained, “I happened to bump into Yuting when I left home, so I brought him along.”

Xiao Yuting chimed in, smiling, “Mo General, President Wen, I hope you don’t mind me tagging along.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Haofeng.

The reason he didn’t mention Luo Haofeng’s name was because he felt that Luo Haofeng was as redundant as he was.

When he ran into Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai mentioned that Mo Xiuchen and Wen Jin were treating him to lunch, but there was no mention of Luo Haofeng.

When he saw Luo Haofeng earlier, Mr. Bai’s face had slightly darkened, even if just for a fleeting moment, but Xiao Yuting noticed it.

Mo Xiuchen smiled nonchalantly, “Of course we don’t mind, but President Xiao, how is it that someone as busy as you has so much free time?”

Xiao Yuting laughed, “Mo General, you’re kidding. No matter how busy I am, I’m no busier than you.”

He then looked at Luo Haofeng again, asking provocatively, “President Luo, are you here alone or having a vacation with your girlfriend?”

Upon hearing him mention Luo Haofeng’s girlfriend, Mr. Bai’s expression darkened further, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Luo Haofeng remained calm and unperturbed, showing no change in expression.

He merely cast a mild glance at Xiao Yuting before respectfully looking at Mr. Bai, bowing humbly, “Sir, the truth is, I asked Xiuchen and Ah Jin to help arrange this meeting with you.”

Mr. Bai squinted his eyes but merely stared at Luo Haofeng, not responding.

Xiao Yuting smirked, watching the exchange unfold. He knew there were issues between Luo Haofeng and Xiaoxiao; he had found out during a business trip in B City.

He kept it to himself because Luo Haofeng had compensated him to stay quiet.

But deep down, he liked Bai Xiaoxiao, and even though he held his tongue, it didn’t sit well with him.

Especially around Luo Haofeng, he couldn’t help but act like a prickly hedgehog.

Luo Haofeng smiled slightly and spoke politely, “Sir, please have a seat, and I’ll explain everything to you.”

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Jin also invited Mr. Bai to sit down.

Mr. Bai gave Luo Haofeng a cursory glance before sitting down.

Being a seasoned merchant, he was adept at concealing his emotions, leaving Luo Haofeng somewhat tense.

All of this stemmed from Mr. Bai being Bai Xiaoxiao’s father; whether he and Xiaoxiao could be happily together hinged on Mr. Bai.

Mo Xiuchen, Wen Jin, and Xiao Yuting also took their seats.

Luo Haofeng alone remained standing, not planning to sit down. He took a deep breath to steady himself before speaking again, “Sir, from the day I fell for Xiaoxiao, I’ve never had feelings for any other woman.”

“The girlfriend mentioned by President Xiao was just helping me put on an act; we aren’t actually dating.”
