Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1952: Chapter 1951: A Brilliant Move

Gu Kai’s office.

Luo Haofeng, who had just filmed a scene again, sat on the sofa and listened to Gu Kai’s reprimand, “Do you plan to never let your leg heal? Under such circumstances, you actually stood in the delivery room for several hours…”

Mo Xiuchen, Qin Mu, and Wen Jin were sitting on another sofa, leisurely sipping coffee, watching Luo Haofeng with calm expressions.

“I know my own leg, and I am aware that standing for several hours won’t cripple me.”

Luo Haofeng quietly defended himself.

In such circumstances, even if it meant ruining his leg, he couldn’t leave Xiaoxiao alone in the delivery room to suffer and fear by herself.

On the contrary, he was very happy today.

Because Xiaoxiao was also concerned about him, not only cared for him but also willing to have him accompany her.

Especially during the several hours when Xiaoxiao was giving birth, she needed him.

Gu Kai sneered, “You know about your leg, but do you know Qiao Siyi called you many times?”

At the mention of Qiao Siyi, Luo Haofeng’s mind, which was filled with Bai Xiaoxiao and their newborn baby daughter, slightly stiffened, and a trace of coldness rose between his originally soft brows.

“I know, she called while I was bringing Xiaoxiao to the hospital.”

Once he finished speaking, a hint of doubt flashed in Luo Haofeng’s eyes while looking at Gu Kai, “Ah Kai, how do you know?”

Gu Kai threw his phone to him, “I’ve already returned Xiaoxiao’s phone to her parents. Earlier, I was bored, so I turned on your phone and happened to answer a call from Qiao Siyi to you.”

Gu Kai spoke casually, showing no guilt for looking through his phone or answering his call without permission.

Luo Haofeng took the phone and checked the call record, “What did you say to her?”

Gu Kai intentionally furrowed his brows, pondering his answer, “Qiao Siyi asked where you went? Why your phone was with me? I just told her you were in the delivery room accompanying Bai Xiaoxiao giving birth, and then she hung up.”

Qin Mu and Wen Jin’s corners of their mouths twitched slightly, Mo Xiuchen merely glanced slightly, leaning his tall figure into the sofa, “Ah Feng, if you’re worried about Qiao Siyi, just give her a call to explain.”

Luo Haofeng’s expression changed, coldly saying, “Back then, I only told her I would take care of her for a lifetime and marry her to give her the courage to undergo surgery and amputate her leg, to live on. Now she can be discharged, no longer finds life difficult and despairing as at first.”

Mo Xiuchen raised his brows, lifting the coffee in front of him to take a sip.

In Qin Mu and Wen Jin’s eyes, a hint of astonishment flashed, while Gu Kai’s lips curved into a playful smile.

“I fear it’s not just that?”

He asked meaningfully, analyzing Luo Haofeng’s thoughts, “Back then, you not only wanted to give Qiao Siyi the courage to live but also wanted to force Bai Xiaoxiao, make her let go of the past, and accept you, right?”

None of them were foolish, if Luo Haofeng could accompany Bai Xiaoxiao for hours in the delivery room, it meant Bai Xiaoxiao had let go of the past and accepted him.

If Bai Xiaoxiao were as resolute as at the start, even if she were giving birth, she wouldn’t have allowed Luo Haofeng to stay by her side.

Being seen through by Gu Kai didn’t make Luo Haofeng feel embarrassed, he merely frowned slightly, what needed to be resolved now was the situation with Qiao Siyi.

The decision made back then was out of necessity, on one hand, Qiao Siyi was adamant against amputating her leg, on the other, her mother threatened him by saying if he didn’t agree to marry her daughter, she’d let the world know he was irresponsible.

He wasn’t afraid of the world calling him irresponsible, but he had to consider the company.

Moreover, Xiaoxiao’s intentions were uncertain, making him unaware of how long he’d have to wait. After weighing all options, he decided to take a gamble.

If the outcome met his expectations, not only would Qiao Siyi live, but Bai Xiaoxiao would also let go of the past.

“Even though this move is risky, it might be a good play for breaking the deadlock between you and Bai Xiaoxiao.”

Qin Mu said thoughtfully, “But the key now is Qiao Siyi. If she doesn’t let go and becomes desperate, what then?”

“Isn’t there still Xiao Yuting?”

Mo Xiuchen curled his lips, speaking indifferently.

Wen Jin looked surprised, glancing at Mo Xiuchen, “Is this your idea?”

Mo Xiuchen shook his head, “Don’t blame me, I didn’t suggest such a scheme to Ah Feng, it was merely my guess about his intentions at the time.”

After all, having been friends for decades, Mo Xiuchen understood Luo Haofeng.

He didn’t want to stalemate with Xiaoxiao for a lifetime, but if things stayed as they were, given Bai Xiaoxiao’s stubborn nature, who knows when things would change.

Isn’t there a saying, only after losing does one realize to cherish?

As the group was talking, Luo Haofeng’s phone rang again.

Upon hearing the ringtone, the four men beside him all looked at Luo Haofeng, who furrowed his brow slightly, speaking blandly, “It’s Xiao Yuting.”

Mo Xiuchen uninterestingly pursed his lips, stood up, “I’ll go see Ranran.”

Watching Mo Xiuchen’s elegant strides exiting the office, Gu Kai moved over to sit where Mo Xiuchen had been sitting, lowering his voice to speak to Wen Jin beside him, “I heard recently Ziyi and Xiuchen have been fighting over Ranran more fiercely. Ah Jin, your move is really sharp.”

Wen Jin touched his nose, looking innocently at Gu Kai, “What does this have to do with me?”

Gu Kai snorted, giving a look that seemed to say you can’t fool me.

Wen Jin rolled his eyes at him, “If Ziyi truly fights over Ranran with him, it can only mean that Xiuchen is too over the top.”

Acting as though Ranran is solely his, hogging her all day, not allowing anyone else to approach.

Gu Kai laughed in great agreement, “Indeed, indeed, Xiuchen is really too much, fighting over a mom with such a small child. If I didn’t know him, I’d suspect him of being a stepdad.”

Listening to Gu Kai and Wen Jin’s conversation, Qin Mu’s lips drew into a subtle curve, Xiuchen has always been the public enemy.

Beside him, Luo Haofeng listened as Xiao Yuting questioned over the phone, “Luo Haofeng, now that you’re Qiao Siyi’s boyfriend, how can you accompany Bai Xiaoxiao to the delivery room? Have you considered Qiao Siyi’s feelings?”

“You said before that you wanted Qiao Siyi to live. Now, I have made her live, and I’ve given you the opportunity. Why aren’t you staying in City B with her, but instead, you’ve come back?”

Luo Haofeng’s tone was cool.

On the other end, Xiao Yuting’s heart burned with anger, “Luo Haofeng, how can you be like this?”

“How I am, do you think I don’t know about you forcing a kiss on Qiao Siyi?” Luo Haofeng’s expression turned serious, his originally cool tone now tinged with slight anger.

“You, how do you know?”

“There’s an old saying, one shouldn’t do something they want anyone knowing about. Xiao Yuting, since you kissed Qiao Siyi, if you can’t make her accept you, don’t come questioning me about being heartless and unjust.”
