Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1937: Chapter 1936: Where Is All This Fairness Supposed to Come From?

Ever since Luo Haofeng got together with Qiao Siyi, Bai Xiaoxiao really had no idea of his whereabouts anymore.

Recently, although she hadn’t met Luo Haofeng, she would occasionally hear news about him from Wen Ran.

But now, Wen Ran never mentions Luo Haofeng in front of Bai Xiaoxiao.

Whether in sadness or happiness, the days pass just the same.

And with each passing day, Bai Xiaoxiao’s body becomes increasingly heavy, though thankfully this season isn’t very cold.

Although Bai Xiaoxiao doesn’t have to work every day, she arranges her time to be quite fulfilling, especially since her mother, Mother Bai, is there with her.

Sometimes she goes to play with Wen Ran and Bai Yiyi’s children, and unconsciously, the due date draws nearer.

At noon, Bai Xiaoxiao was sitting on the couch in the living room, eating fruit and chatting with Wen Ran.

Mother Bai, who returned from grocery shopping, asked as soon as she entered, "Xiaoxiao, what’s going on with Luo Haofeng?"

Bai Xiaoxiao was holding a small piece of apple, about to feed it to her mouth, and with Mother Bai’s words, she trembled, nearly dropping the apple to the floor.

Wen Ran was also startled and turned to look at Mother Bai walking in from the hallway.

Mother Bai handed her bag to the housekeeper and quickly came to the couch, staring at Bai Xiaoxiao and Wen Ran, "Xiaoxiao, Ranran, I just met Xiao Yuting’s mother, Ji Yunzhu, and she told me that Luo Haofeng is with his secretary Qiao Siyi."

Wen Ran’s heart skipped a beat, and her expression subtly changed.

Bai Xiaoxiao just lightly pressed her lips together, her hand holding the apple froze.

The atmosphere in the living room was momentarily stagnant.

Mother Bai’s question was too sudden, even though Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao had always known, they never planned to tell Mother Bai.

For a moment, they didn’t know how to explain.

Mother Bai saw both Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao silent, growing more anxious, "Xiaoxiao, how could Luo Haofeng be with his secretary, didn’t you say last time that he was fine?"

"Aunt Qiao, please don’t worry, this matter is a bit complicated."

Wen Ran saw Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turn slightly pale, and her heart tightened as she spoke warmly.

Mother Bai frowned deeply, how could she not be anxious.

Xiaoxiao was carrying Luo Haofeng’s child, if it wasn’t for what happened back then, they would already be married by now.

And Luo Haofeng himself said, he understood Xiaoxiao and would wait for the day she let go of the past and agreed to be with him.

And now soon after, he is with another woman.

What about Xiaoxiao then.

Mother Bai sat on another couch, no longer questioning Bai Xiaoxiao, but asked Wen Ran, "Ranran, tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Wen Ran softly explained, "Not long ago, Luo Haofeng’s company had a trip, and during climbing, an accident happened, Luo Haofeng and Qiao Siyi, his secretary, both fell off a cliff. Because of him, Qiao Siyi lost a leg, so for responsibility’s sake, Luo Haofeng is with Qiao Siyi."

Upon hearing Wen Ran’s explanation, Mother Bai’s expression shifted continuously.

She really couldn’t accept this result, Luo Haofeng being with another woman just like that.

"Even if that woman, Qiao Siyi, lost a leg because of him, he doesn’t have to be with her, can’t they arrange other compensation?"

Mother Bai asked with some anger, "Didn’t they say Xiao Yuting still likes that Qiao Siyi, could it be that Qiao Siyi always liked Luo Haofeng?"

Wen Ran’s eyes flickered.

Qiao Xiuyun has guessed too correctly.

"Mom, Luo Haofeng and I broke up a long time ago. Whoever he is with is his freedom, you don’t need to worry about this."

The previously quiet Bai Xiaoxiao spoke up, her tone indifferent, without any trace of emotion.

Mother Bai was choked by her words, "Do you really intend to let your child go a lifetime without a father?"

"Mom, who says I can’t marry someone else besides Luo Haofeng."

"You speak so well, show me then."

Mother Bai glared at Bai Xiaoxiao angrily, it used to be only Luo Haofeng waiting for Bai Xiaoxiao, hoping that one day Xiaoxiao would come to her senses and change her mind.

But now Luo Haofeng has turned around to be with someone else, then Xiaoxiao can find someone to take care of her too.

If Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t love Luo Haofeng so deeply, regardless of both her’s and Mr. Bai’s objections to being with Luo Haofeng, and secretly having his child.

Mother Bai would think, that Xiaoxiao breaking up with Luo Haofeng now is for the best.

For two people with such resentments to be together, without deep, searing emotions, how can life be happy.

Bai Xiaoxiao perfunctorily smiled, "Fine, I’ll go on blind dates after I give birth."

"Xiaoxiao, how about I call Luo Haofeng and ask..."

Mother Bai worriedly looked at her daughter, hesitatingly asked.

It was only when Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned paler upon mentioning Luo Haofeng earlier, she didn’t seem sad afterward.

But Mother Bai knew, Bai Xiaoxiao must be feeling hurt inside.

She remembered how distracted Bai Xiaoxiao was those days, and it seemed it was because of Luo Haofeng.

Yet her words were cut off by Bai Xiaoxiao, "Mom, why call him? Are you going to break him and Qiao Siyi apart?"

"He said he would take responsibility for you, take care of you for a lifetime."

Mother Bai’s tone was stiffer, she couldn’t dream that such a thing would happen.

"Mom, I’ve already said, I’m the one who broke up with him, I’m the one who let him go find another woman, I don’t want him to wait for a lifetime, that’s not fair to him."

Bai Xiaoxiao’s lips pressed into a faint stubborn line.

"What is fair? He loves you, he’s willing to wait for you, why talk about fairness. Although past generation’s grudges shouldn’t be borne by the next but what Wu Jingfang did back in the day, can simply ’fairness’ explain it all..."

The more Mother Bai thought about it, the angrier she became, even if Xiaoxiao was the one to initiate the breakup, Xiaoxiao’s situation is special, how could Luo Haofeng just move on with another woman without telling her and Xiaoxiao’s father.

Bai Xiaoxiao stood up, sat by Mother Bai, gently held her hand, softened her voice, "Mom, I can be happy without him, really. Aren’t these days a good proof of that? I said, as long as I have you and dad, and the baby in my belly, it’s enough."

Mother Bai’s face stiffened, Bai Xiaoxiao’s words moved her deeply.

"Mom, I know you’re worried about me, but there’s really no need. If he’s an irresponsible man, I wouldn’t have liked him then. Qiao Siyi lost a leg because of him, it’s only normal he looks after Qiao Siyi."

In the end, Mother Bai was convinced by Bai Xiaoxiao, let out a soft sigh, "Since you say so, I won’t interfere."
