Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1827: Chapter 1826: Why Not Just Have a Baby Directly

Wen Ran’s lips twitched slightly. Although she was used to Mo Xiuchen prioritizing romantic relationships over friendships, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of sympathy for Luo Haofeng.

But her eyebrows and eyes were full of laughter.

“Xiuchen, if you do this, Luo Haofeng will be sad.”

Mo Xiuchen raised an unconcerned eyebrow, “He’s getting married, so he can’t let you get scolded along with him.”

Wen Ran couldn’t hold back her laughter and teased, “Alright, alright, when Luo Haofeng and Xiaoxiao get married, we’ll just ask him for compensation then.”

Mo Xiuchen slightly raised his handsome eyebrows, thinking that Ranran was on the same page as him.

After Wen Ran left, Mo Xiuchen returned to his desk, took out his phone, and called Luo Haofeng.

“Did you and Bai Xiaoxiao get up to something again? As soon as she left today, Aunt Qiao came looking for Ranran.”

Listening to Mo Xiuchen’s questioning tone, Luo Haofeng on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then awkwardly laughed and responded, “Seems like Xiaoxiao told a lie.”

“A lie?”

Mo Xiuchen narrowed his deep eyes, his handsome brows slightly furrowing, “Could it be Bai Xiaoxiao said she’s pregnant?”

Having guessed correctly, Luo Haofeng had to admit, “Xiuchen, you’re too sharp.”

No wonder Qiao Xiuyun came looking for Ranran today.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it must have been Bai Xiaoxiao who told Mother Bai last night.

Mo Xiuchen knew Luo Haofeng had gone to great lengths to procure an expensive set of jewelry for Bai Xiaoxiao to give to Qiao Xiuyun.

“You guys lie without letting us know, what if Ranran says something wrong?”

Mo Xiuchen only expressed his dissatisfaction, indeed it was trouble caused by Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao.

“Xiaoxiao only said it last night, and she went abroad for a business trip this morning, so she didn’t have time to tell you guys.”

“…” No skills in lying.

Look at him and Ranran, they just went ahead and had girl and boy twins.

Luo Haofeng didn’t know Mo Xiuchen was thinking this about him, “Xiuchen, why don’t you call Ranran and let her know.”

As soon as Wen Ran entered the café, she saw Qiao Xiuyun sitting by the window.

She smiled slightly and walked over to her briskly.

“Aunt Qiao, there was a bit of traffic on the road, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Qiao Xiuyun shook her head and smiled, pointing to the seat opposite her, “Ranran, sit down and let’s talk.”

Wen Ran sat down and ordered a glass of plain water. After the waiter left, she softly explained, “Aunt Qiao, I’ve been on medication lately.”

Qiao Xiuyun suddenly understood, “Is your health improving?”

“Much better.” Wen Ran nodded with a smile.

After a few moments of concern, Qiao Xiuyun turned the conversation to the main topic, her smile fading, “Ranran, I asked you out today because there’s something I want to ask you.”

“Aunt Qiao, please go ahead.”

Wen Ran gently stroked her slender, fair fingers across the glass, looking at Qiao Xiuyun with gentle eyes.

“When did you know about Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng being together?”

Wen Ran’s heart trembled slightly, and her smile was replaced by a bit of apology. She couldn’t say she didn’t know.

Even if she did, Qiao Xiuyun wouldn’t believe her.

At this point, when she previously said Xiaoxiao went to the countryside villa with them, Qiao Xiuyun likely suspected she was covering for her.

“Aunt Qiao, I’m sorry!”

Wen Ran apologized earnestly, Qiao Xiuyun’s expression changed slightly.

She was quite angry inside, but with Wen Ran’s proactive apology, it was hard for her to blame her further.

“Ranran, you know about the grudges between me and Wu Jingfang. How could you let Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng be together?”

Wen Ran looked full of apology, “Aunt Qiao, we were wrong to keep it from you, but watching Xiaoxiao feeling as miserable as I was back then makes me feel terrible.”

Saying this, Wen Ran’s eyes showed a layer of sadness.

Qiao Xiuyun was startled and, for a moment, found herself speechless while looking at Wen Ran.

She understood what Wen Ran meant by those words, about how devastated she was when Mo Xiuchen left back then.

Even as an outsider, they all felt heartbroken during that time.

“Aunt Qiao, I know there are many grudges between you and Wu Jingfang, and I’m aware of the wrongs that woman has done to you, but that’s her, not Luo Haofeng.”

“…” But Luo Haofeng is that woman’s son!

Qiao Xiuyun’s expression became increasingly displeased.

“Back then, with my brother and Yiyi, I thought they couldn’t be together either.”

Wen Ran suddenly mentioned Gu Kai and Bai Yiyi, causing Qiao Xiuyun’s expression to change.

Although not closely acquainted with this group of young people, Qiao Xiuyun knew something about their grudges and emotions.

“Yiyi’s father was a mortal enemy to our family, causing harm not only to me but also leading to my mother’s death and nearly harming Xiuchen as well. With so many grudges, even if my brother and Yiyi loved each other and had even one Tongtong…”

“…”

Seeing Qiao Xiuyun’s continued silence, Wen Ran gently said, “Aunt Qiao, haven’t you always hoped Xiaoxiao could be happy?”

“Of course I want her to be happy, but can she be happy with Luo Haofeng?”

Qiao Xiuyun asked harshly, certain that Wu Jingfang would never agree.

The thought of her beloved Xiaoxiao having to beg Wu Jingfang, possibly facing humiliation from her, made Qiao Xiuyun furious.

Her daughter, cherished like a princess, wasn’t meant to endure another woman’s wrath.

“Aunt Qiao, Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng truly love each other. The fact that they could reunite after years apart shows Luo Haofeng can make Xiaoxiao happy.”

“…” I’m not talking about Luo Haofeng, I’m talking about his mother!

Wen Ran smiled slightly, “According to Luo Haofeng, his parents’ relationship has improved a lot recently. They even plan to travel around the world soon. Once Wu Jingfang resolves her issues, she won’t hold grudges against Xiaoxiao anymore.”

Qiao Xiuyun snorted coldly.

Wu Jingfang, that venomous woman, can she truly not resent Xiaoxiao?

“Aunt Qiao, how about this: if Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng can get his parents’ approval, you no longer oppose them, alright?”

Qiao Xiuyun’s expression stiffened as she hesitated over Wen Ran’s words.

She suddenly remembered her original reason for meeting Wen Ran today, but instead got led astray by this young girl’s words.

Thinking about Xiaoxiao’s pregnancy, Qiao Xiuyun felt a pang of depression, and her expression involuntarily turned slightly angry, “Ranran, first tell me, is Xiaoxiao really pregnant?”

Wen Ran widened her eyes in shock, “Aunt Qiao, you…”

“Xiaoxiao has already told me she is pregnant with Luo Haofeng’s child. I originally planned to confront Luo Haofeng, but after thinking it over, I decided to ask you first. You are Xiaoxiao’s best friend; you must know her situation.”

Wen Ran was about to speak when Qiao Xiuyun added, “Ranran, you’ve helped Xiaoxiao deceive me several times already. I hope you won’t do it again.”

“Aunt Qiao, I was also surprised when I found out Xiaoxiao was pregnant, but since she is, the child can’t grow up without a father, right?”
