Chapter 1786: Chapter 1785: Want to Be Closer to You
Luo Haofeng seemed to be somewhat in disbelief.
His narrow eyes filled with romance transitioned from astonishment to delight, undergoing various changes in between.
Then, his handsome face lit up with joy.
He tightened his grip on Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand out of excitement, “Xiaoxiao, we must always be together.”
Although both their mothers strongly opposed, at least, for now, their fathers agreed.
And Father Luo Rongbin strongly supported him.
This gave Luo Haofeng more confidence in their future.
“I hope my mom’s kidnapping case gets resolved soon.” Bai Xiaoxiao’s smile faded as she spoke softly.
As long as the case remains unsolved, her mother’s suspicion towards Wu Jingfang will not dissipate.
Bai Xiaoxiao knew that even if she and Luo Haofeng ended up together, they would still experience a long period of trials.
The grievances between her mom and Luo Haofeng’s mom cannot be resolved in a short time.
Three feet of ice does not form in a single day.
She was not afraid of waiting, as long as the waiting would lead to a good ending.
Perhaps sensing her concern, Luo Haofeng’s eyes flickered with sympathy, “Xiaoxiao, my parents have gone on a trip, so I’ll still be staying in G City for these days.”
Bai Xiaoxiao understood his meaning.
He was telling her that there was progress in his parents’ relationship.
As long as his mom realized his dad had genuinely fallen for her and not thinking about Qiao Xiuyun, the resentment in her heart would slowly be replaced by love.
“How did your mom agree to let you stay?”
“We have to thank Lu Zhiyan, it’s Lu Zhiyan who said I should stay and cooperate with the investigation, to contact them anytime.”
Speaking of this, Luo Haofeng couldn’t help but smile, “My mom didn’t want to stay with my dad, she wanted to go and spend time alone, so she agreed.”
“But with you staying here, I won’t be able to accompany you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao felt guilty as Luo Haofeng stayed in G City for the Spring Festival for her.
But she had to accompany her parents, making even meeting him difficult.
During the Spring Festival, she’d definitely be dragged along to visit relatives.
Luo Haofeng laughed indifferently, “It’s okay, you don’t have to accompany me. I’m staying here to be closer to you, so whenever you miss me, you can see me.”
He didn’t like being separated from her by distance.
Even more, he disliked that when Xiaoxiao needed him, she couldn’t see or find him.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt a burst of warmth and sensation; it’s been a long time since she felt this happiness.
It seemed this feeling hadn’t been there since their breakup.
No matter how good Meng Ke was to her, she never had this feeling.
“Where will you be staying these days?”
“I’ll be staying in my old apartment; I’ve already had someone clean it up.”
“Whenever you want to see me, just give me a call.” He would definitely be there anytime.
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced down at the time, “I have to go back now, and later I have to make a hospital visit.”
“Are you going to see Meng Ke?” Luo Haofeng’s eyes showed a hint of reluctance.
Bai Xiaoxiao said softly, “Yes, regardless if he’s involved in this or not, he’s currently my mom’s savior; I should go to the hospital to see him.”
“Xiaoxiao, try to visit Meng Ke less…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep my distance from him.”
Bai Xiaoxiao knew Luo Haofeng was worried about her because of the coincidence between Qing Yang’s injury and today’s events. If all of this was orchestrated by Meng Ke.
Then he would be terrifying!
Luo Haofeng hesitated for a moment and then kindly said, “Xiaoxiao, Tang Yang has been investigating in Country M; maybe soon there will be news.”
After sending Qing Yang back to the hospital last time, Tang Yang immediately returned to Country M to continue searching for clues.
If there’s any news, he would inform Mo Xiuchen.
Meanwhile, Mo Xiuchen had Qing Feng stationed at the hospital to take care of Qing Yang, waiting for him to wake up and perhaps know the truth.
“I used to think Meng Ke was a very ordinary person. But now, I still hope you minimize your contact with him; maybe I’m judging him unfairly. But yesterday, when you called him, he suddenly turned off his phone, and later, he called you and let you hear him getting beaten on the phone…”
Before Luo Haofeng finished his sentence, Bai Xiaoxiao interrupted him, “Haofeng, I’ll call you immediately if anything happens, and besides, in a place like a hospital, he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.”
Even if this was indeed Meng Ke’s plan to save her mom to win her back.
But if she didn’t intend to reconcile, he wouldn’t dare to force her at the hospital.
**
During dinner time, Bai Xiaoxiao brought a thermos to Kangning Hospital.
In the ward, Madam Meng was accompanying in there; she hadn’t returned in the afternoon.
Seeing her come in, Madam Meng immediately stood up, greeting her with a big smile, “Xiaoxiao, you’re here!”
Bai Xiaoxiao politely smiled, glanced at Meng Ke lying on the hospital bed, and replied warmly, “Auntie, I brought porridge for Meng Ke; I’m not sure if he’s had dinner yet.”
As she spoke, her gaze swept over the thermos on the bedside table.
Meng Ke immediately spoke cheerfully, not hiding his happiness in his tone, “Not yet, Xiaoxiao, what kind of porridge did you bring? Let me see.”
“Xiaoxiao, did you cook the porridge for Meng Ke?”
Madam Meng continued to maintain her smile.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes fluttered, “No, our home’s auntie cooked it. Originally, my mother planned to deliver the porridge personally, but since guests arrived, I had to come instead.”
Listening to Bai Xiaoxiao, Meng Ke’s smile faded slightly, “Xiaoxiao, tell Auntie not to always keep this matter on her mind. She’s an elder, and your mother, saving her was the right thing to do.”
“Yes, Xiaoxiao, please tell your mother-in-law not to be so polite. Although our Meng Ke is injured, there’s no need to think of him as a savior all the time. We’re all family in the future, there’s no need to be so distant.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face slightly changed, “Auntie, Meng Ke and I…”
“Mom, you should go back. Xiaoxiao can keep me company here.”
Before Bai Xiaoxiao could finish, Meng Ke interrupted her.
Up until now, his mom was still unaware of their breakup, and Meng Ke had no intention of letting his mom know.
Because he intended to win back Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows; Meng Ke interrupted her, so she guessed Meng Ke hadn’t told his parents about their breakup.
But this wouldn’t change anything; even if he managed to save her mom, she couldn’t reconcile with him.
Madam Meng was tactful, quickly responding with a smile after hearing her son’s words, “Okay, I’ll go home now, Xiaoxiao, Meng Ke will be your responsibility then.”
“Auntie, Meng Ke has a special nursing assistant with him, he won’t be a bother.”
