Chapter 1801: Chapter 1800: Mr. Bai’s Idea
The atmosphere in the private room shifted markedly because of Mr. Bai’s words.
It was no longer as oppressive as before.
Luo Haofeng’s captivating eyes looked brightly at Mr. Bai, waiting for him to reveal his idea.
Mr. Bai seemed deliberately to be teasing Luo Haofeng.
The more eager he was, the more composed Mr. Bai was, calm and unhurried.
A full half-minute passed.
Only then did Mr. Bai slowly speak, “Xiaoxiao’s mother is very fond of Ziyi and Momo, the girl and boy twins. She often used to urge Xiaoxiao to marry early and have children soon.”
Luo Haofeng’s expression was richly varied.
From expectation, to astonishment, and then joy.
He still tried his best to keep calm on the surface, not letting Mr. Bai make fun of him, but inside, his emotions were endlessly fluctuating.
Within him, it was like a stormy sea.
He never dreamed that Mr. Bai’s idea would be this.
Although his words were only half-spoken, how could such a clever man as Luo Haofeng not grasp Mr. Bai’s meaning?
“Uncle, you mean, if Xiaoxiao and I have a child, Aunt will accept me, right?”
If that’s the case, then he must hurry up and have a child with Xiaoxiao.
“If you and Xiaoxiao have a child, her mother will be moved to some extent. And if you two can have twins as smart and adorable as Ziyi and Momo, the chances of her agreeing are even greater.”
“Thank you, Uncle.”
Luo Haofeng gratefully bowed again to Mr. Bai.
“You and Xiaoxiao?”
Mr. Bai’s expression changed in an instant; one moment he was advising him, the next, he was looking sternly at Luo Haofeng.
Luo Haofeng was startled and hurried to explain, “Uncle, please don’t misunderstand.”
“Misunderstanding doesn’t matter. The important thing is, since you are so determined to be with my Xiaoxiao, you must fulfill your earlier promise and not do anything to hurt her.”
“Uncle, I will certainly do that.”
“Let Ah Jin and the others come over now.” Mr. Bai motioned for him not to stand there like that.
Back when Luo Haofeng was working at Haochen Group, Mr. Bai had treated him as a distinguished guest.
If this young man hadn’t fallen for his daughter Xiaoxiao, Mr. Bai might not have spoken to him in such a tone.
However, after discussing with Luo Haofeng, Mr. Bai was still satisfied with him.
If he weren’t Wu Jingfang’s son, Mr. Bai would certainly have allowed him to marry Xiaoxiao immediately.

Kangning Hospital
At eleven-thirty, Bai Xiaoxiao helped Meng Ke back into the ward from sunbathing.
Just as Li Shi Yao brought lunch for Meng Ke.
“Shi Yao, take care of your cousin here. I have things to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Bai Xiaoxiao instructed Li Shi Yao, just as Meng Ke came out of the bathroom.
Hearing her words, he slightly frowned, “Xiaoxiao, aren’t you staying to have lunch here? I specifically asked Yao Yao to bring two servings.”
“Yes, Sister Xiaoxiao, stay and eat with your cousin. He’s been thinking about you every day. Now that you’re finally here, don’t leave.”
Li Shi Yao echoed.
Bai Xiaoxiao apologized, “I really have something to do. If I have time in the afternoon, I’ll come back.”
“Sister Xiaoxiao, make sure you come in the afternoon.”
Li Shi Yao glanced at Meng Ke, and receiving the message in his eyes, she immediately asked Bai Xiaoxiao for a promise.
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, “If I have time, I’ll definitely come.”
“Sister Xiaoxiao, if you don’t come in the afternoon, I won’t let you leave.” Li Shi Yao pouted, stepping forward to grab Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face showed a hint of awkwardness.
Just then, her phone rang.
Li Shi Yao had to release her and let her answer the call.
Seeing the caller ID, Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes slightly changed, a trace of worry flashing through her heart, unsure if her father’s call was for good or bad.
But she still quickly pressed the receive button and greeted, “Dad.”
“Xiaoxiao, where are you now?”
Her father’s voice came through the call, carrying the affectionate tone of a father.
Bai Xiaoxiao listened to her father’s gentle tone, and her worries immediately eased. Her eyes blossomed with a bright smile, “Dad, I’m still at Kangning Hospital.”
“Why are you still there? Hurry over to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion.”
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled in response, softly accepting, “Dad, I’ll be there shortly.”
After hanging up, she again spoke to Meng Ke and Li Shi Yao, “I really have to go, Shi Yao, take good care of your cousin, and call a doctor or nurse if anything comes up.”
“Xiaoxiao, will you come in the afternoon?”
Meng Ke looked at her intently, unwilling for her to leave now.
Especially knowing that Luo Haofeng was in G City, every time Meng Ke thought of Bai Xiaoxiao leaving, potentially meeting Luo Haofeng, jealousy surged in his heart.
He wished to forcibly keep her by his side.
But he knew now was not the time.
He planned to make Bai Xiaoxiao willingly return to him, forgetting about Luo Haofeng.
“If I have time this afternoon, I’ll come over. Eat well, rest well, and wait for the doctor’s permission to be discharged.”
After leaving the ward, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t take the elevator downstairs but went to Gu Kai’s office to find him.
Gu Kai was preparing to leave work.
Seeing her, he curved his lips into a smile, “Xiaoxiao, do you need something from me?”
“I told Meng Ke this morning that Qing Yang woke up today, and he then sent me away…”
Before she could finish, Gu Kai smiled and explained, “After you left the ward, Meng Ke took his phone to the bathroom, probably to make a call.”
“Who did he call then? So, Qing Yang’s injury is really connected to him?”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed as she looked at Gu Kai with surprise.
Gu Kai’s smile vanished from his lips, Mo Yu’s eyes flashed with a trace of mockery. “Regardless of whom he called, the fact that he immediately reached out to the outside world upon hearing Qing Yang woke up indicates he can’t dissociate himself from Qing Yang’s injury.”
“…”
Bai Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together and didn’t speak.
She was contemplating, if the person responsible for Qing Yang’s injury was Meng Ke.
Then he might be the mastermind behind the kidnapping conspiracy.
And it was a coincidence that her mother was kidnapped, and at any cost, he injured himself to save her mother, thereby making her indebted.
“Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking?”
Gu Kai squinted his eyes, scrutinizing the musing Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, “It’s nothing, I will leave now.”
“Are you going to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion?”
Gu Kai caught up, asking cheerfully.
Bai Xiaoxiao turned her head in surprise, “How did you know?”
“Ah Feng came to the hospital to find me this morning, so I know. Go ahead, I am going to find Ah Mu to inform Tang Yang.”
It now appears Qing Yang was harmed by Meng Ke.
This suggests that Meng Ke has issues, highly likely connected to the case Tang Yang is investigating; things seem to be getting more complicated.
Leaving the hospital, Gu Kai instructed Bai Xiaoxiao again, “Xiaoxiao, Meng Ke mentioned being discharged. If he is discharged, don’t associate with him anymore. Even if he invites you in the future, it’s best not to agree.”
