Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1978: Chapter 1977: Just an Experience

Because I had someone I loved by my side, this Spring Festival passed incredibly quickly.

After going through so many hardships, Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao treasured their current happiness immensely.

Although the two had yet to register their marriage or hold a wedding, they were evidently a loving couple, discussing everything together, with Luo Haofeng always consulting Bai Xiaoxiao.

The Bai Family had become Luo Haofeng’s home, and he spent more time there than at his own house.

Father Luo spent the Spring Festival in G City and returned to City B on the sixth day.

Before leaving, he reminded Luo Haofeng to take good care of Xiaoxiao and his granddaughter Lingling.

Luo Haofeng had wanted his father to stay longer in G City, but Luo Rongbin said he preferred being at his own home.

The day before leaving, Luo Rongbin invited Qiao Xiuyun for a cup of coffee. Qiao Xiuyun wanted Mr. Bai to accompany her, but Mr. Bai said he had plans with friends and told her to go alone.

In the afternoon cafe, looking at the woman he had thought about for decades, Luo Rongbin couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions.

Shed of her youthful beauty, Qiao Xiuyun, who had matured with time into a more charming and elegant woman, still left Luo Rongbin uneasy.

“Xiuyun, I’ve always wanted to apologize to you, but I’ve never had the courage. I’m returning to City B tomorrow, and today I want to formally say I’m sorry…”

Qiao Xiuyun smiled faintly and said lightly, “You have nothing to apologize to me for. Those past experiences are just a part of my life, and it’s because of those experiences that I cherish the happiness I’ve found.”

She truly felt happy.

Although she hadn’t fallen in love with Mr. Bai when she married him, during their countless days together, supporting and caring for each other, Qiao Xiuyun was gradually moved and eventually let go of Luo Rongbin, falling in love with her current husband.

Seeing the gentle happiness in her eyes, Luo Rongbin didn’t know what to say besides offering his blessings.

Understanding his thoughts, Qiao Xiuyun gently said, “Those old matters should have been let go long ago. The most important thing is that Ah Feng and Xiaoxiao can live happily.”

“You’re right, Ah Feng will be staying in G City from now on, which might cause you and President Bai some trouble.”

“There’s no need for such formalities. Ah Feng is my son-in-law now, and both I and Old Bai will treat him like a son.”

Leaving the cafe, Qiao Xiuyun and Luo Rongbin each got into their cars. Luo Rongbin turned back twice, but Qiao Xiuyun didn’t turn back at all.

Inside her car, Qiao Xiuyun deleted Luo Rongbin’s number and dialed Mr. Bai’s number.

On the phone came the babbling sound of Granddaughter Lingling, along with the voices of Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng. Mr. Bai told Qiao Xiuyun that he would be cooking tonight and asked if there was anything special she wanted to eat.

Hearing Mr. Bai’s cheerful voice on the phone, a gentle happiness enveloped Qiao Xiuyun’s face.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Xiao Yuting came to the Bai Family.

Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao were holding their daughter Lingling in the garden, admiring the flowers, when Xiao Yuting rushed in anxiously, asking, “Luo Haofeng, Xiaoxiao, has Siyi called you? Do you know where she went?”

Luo Haofeng was holding his daughter, while Bai Xiaoxiao was holding a petal in her hand. Hearing Xiao Yuting’s question, she was slightly surprised, “No, why?”

“Siyi left a letter and disappeared.”

The anxiety in Xiao Yuting’s heart was unmistakably displayed on his handsome face.

In contrast to his worry, Luo Haofeng remained calm, asking indifferently, “Weren’t you always with her? How could she leave a letter and disappear?”

Agony flashed in Xiao Yuting’s eyes as he replied stiffly, “She told me she wanted to eat some pastries from Southern City Fu Restaurant, so I drove to get them for her, but when I returned, she was gone.”

Qiao Siyi had deliberately sent him away to create an opportunity for her to leave.

Before the year ended, Bai Xiaoxiao met Qiao Siyi, who asked her to help her leave. But as Xiao Yuting was always on guard, closely following Qiao Siyi, she never got the chance and couldn’t reach out to Bai Xiaoxiao again.

Bai Xiaoxiao had heard from her mother, Qiao Xiuyun, that Xiao Yuting’s mother publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Qiao Siyi among their circle of ladies.

Only because of her son’s insistence did she refrain from driving her away.

Seeing Xiao Yuting in his anxious state, Bai Xiaoxiao calmly said, “Since she left, it means she didn’t want to stay here. Even if you find her, she won’t be happy.”

A woman who isn’t liked by her future mother-in-law, how could she be happy staying?

Xiao Yuting’s expression changed as he looked intently at Bai Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, do you know something? Did Siyi tell you anything?”

Bai Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, “I’ve only met Qiao Siyi once; how could I know anything? It’s just that if she was happy being with you, she wouldn’t have left.”

“That’s not true, Siyi is happy being with me, I can feel it. She genuinely wants to be with me.”

Xiao Yuting immediately refuted, thinking that if Qiao Siyi didn’t want to be with him, then why would she have willingly given herself to him last night.

Recalling last night’s tender and passionate moments, Xiao Yuting knew in his heart that Siyi liked him.

He was also aware that his parents didn’t like Siyi, especially his mother.

“Do you really not know? If you know, please tell me. I won’t give up on Siyi; she is my woman now.”

Bai Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

Luo Haofeng calmly said, “We really don’t know. If you truly want to be with Qiao Siyi, maybe you should ask your mother, she might know.”

Qiao Siyi hadn’t sought their help. For someone like her to leave, it surely had something to do with Xiao Yuting’s mother.

Xiao Yuting looked at them closely, then turned and left the Bai Family in a hurry.

Bai Xiaoxiao watched Xiao Yuting’s hurried departure and sighed lightly. Xiao Yuting had genuinely fallen this time, but with his parents’ obstruction, no one knew if he and Qiao Siyi could truly be together.

“Xiaoxiao, are you upset about Qiao Siyi and Xiao Yuting?”

Luo Haofeng, holding their daughter in one arm, gently wrapped an arm around Bai Xiaoxiao’s shoulders, pulling her into his embrace and gazing at her with warm eyes.

Bai Xiaoxiao forced a smile, looking into his handsome face, “Didn’t Qiao Siyi call you?”

“Yes, I had someone help her leave.”

“Then why didn’t you just tell Xiao Yuting? He seemed truly anxious; I’ve never seen him like this.”

Luo Haofeng smiled nonchalantly, “Finding Siyi won’t change anything; she was not a bit happy in his house.”
