Chapter 602: 601 Confession
“Ranran, how could you think it was Luo Haofeng? It’s not like he’s the only one who would know.”
Bai Xiaoxiao asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Wen Ran chuckled lightly, the morning sunlight coming in through the transparent window, lighting up her clear and fair cheeks. She looked radiant and beautiful beyond words.
“I was guessing. Who else besides Luo Haofeng would be that much into gossip? Surely it wouldn’t be my two brothers or Qin Mu.”
Although Luo Haofeng’s relationship with Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t at its best right now, he still kept her informed, particularly about matters concerning her.
Bai Xiaoxiao laughed out loud, saying with a triumphant tone, “Ranran, you’re wrong this time. It wasn’t Luo Haofeng who told me, but Qin Mu. He’s the one that you’ve always considered to be least likely to gossip. He informed me that you were having a second check-up today and said that you might be back in a couple of days.”
“Besides, I found out another good news. You and Mo Xiuchen are planning to renew your wedding vows, right?”
By the end of her sentence, there was an undeniable excitement in Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice, a sense of superiority. Even without seeing her at this moment, from her words alone, Wen Ran could feel her triumph.
Wen Ran was somewhat surprised. In her eyes, Qin Mu wasn’t the type to talk much. In fact, he was even cold, colder than Mo Xiuchen. Why would he be the one to inform Bai Xiaoxiao?
“Ranran, you must be very curious. I’ll kindly let you know. I happened to meet Qin Mu on the airplane. He was heading back to A City, and I, coincidentally, was heading to A City for a business trip. And that’s when he told me about your latest condition.”
“You went to A City on a business trip? You went back to work so soon?”
Wen Ran asked with amazement, “Has Bai Xiaoxiao’s leg fully healed?” She only realized her voice had unconsciously risen several decibels after she finished her sentence. She immediately turned her gaze towards the large bed in the distance. Luckily, Mo Xiuchen was not woken up by her.
Bai Xiaoxiao shifted slightly, leaning comfortably in the leather sofa, her head tilted, her phone sandwiched between her head and shoulder. Laughing, she said, “Yeah, with you not being in G City, I was bored to death. The company happened to be busy during this period, so I went back to work. And then, I came to A City for a business trip.”
“The wedding news, did Qin Mu tell you too?”
Wen Ran asked, feeling somewhat surprised. She had just discussed with Mo Xiuchen the night before about trying a wedding dress. Did Mo Xiuchen already tell Qin Mu and the others?
Bai Xiaoxiao sounded very pleased: “Ranran, your brother told me about your wedding ceremony. I had a call with him. I’ve prepared a gift for you. Even though you and Mo Xiuchen have been married for a long time, you’ve never had a wedding ceremony. I didn’t send a gift before, but I’m going to represent this time.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, the doorbell rang.
“Xiaoxiao, aren’t you on a business trip alone? Who’s looking for you?”
“Not alone, I have colleagues with me. Ranran, I have to go now. When you are about to come back, let me know in advance. I’ll pick you up from the airport. Bye!”
After Bai Xiaoxiao finished speaking, without waiting for Wen Ran to ask again, she hung up the phone, jumped off the sofa and went to open the door.
She assumed it was the room service, but when she opened the door, what came into her sight was a handsome face showing a hint of ruthlessness. When she met his long, dark eyes, Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed slightly, and she asked with an unpleasant tone: “Why is it you?”
Luo Haofeng stood at the entrance, casually dressed, his tall physique majestic. His peach-blossom eyes intensely stared at Bai Xiaoxiao inside the door. A corner of his lips lifted, and he said, “Xiaoxiao, I have something to tell you. Let’s find a place to talk.”
“Sorry, but I don’t have time.”
Bai Xiaoxiao replied in a detached tone. Wasn’t he getting along well with that blonde woman on the plane? As soon as the plane landed, they were acting like a couple in love. Where’s that woman now? Why didn’t he accompany her instead of coming to bother her with his nonsense?
Having said that, she was about to close the door.
“Xiaoxiao!”
Seeing she was about to shut the door, Luo Haofeng swiftly moved inside, grabbed her wrist, and stared at her intently with his fiery eyes.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale, and she stared back at him coldly, “Luo Haofeng, what are you doing? Let go of me.”
“I won’t let go.”
Luo Haofeng’s eyes darkened, and his grip on her wrist only tightened. He forced Bai Xiaoxiao to step back two steps, advanced himself, and slammed the door shut with his foot.
“Xiaoxiao, do you plan to treat me as a stranger for your whole life?”
Being so close, when he spoke, the smell of alcohol overwhelmed Bai Xiaoxiao’s nose. Because he was standing outside earlier, the smell wasn’t too obvious. But now that he was up close, looking down at her, trapping her in his gaze, Bai Xiaoxiao could clearly smell his alcohol-laden breath mixed with his distinctive masculine scent. It left her heart skipping a beat.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying. Luo Haofeng, if you’re drunk, go home and sleep. Don’t come here to make a scene.”
Bai Xiaoxiao struggled to pull her hand free, her thoughts all over the place. She had no idea how Luo Haofeng knew where she was staying or how he found where she was.
Luo Haofeng sneered, his gripping force abruptly tightened. The next second, Bai Xiaoxiao lost her balance and fell into his arms. His other hand swiftly circled around her slender waist. He spun her around, pinned her against the wall behind her with lightning speed, bent down and… kissed her deeply.
“Mm… Luo Haofeng… let go of me…”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s mind resounded with a roar, as if she had been struck by lightning. After an initial moment of rigidity, she struggled angrily and tried to push him off. However, she was far from his match in terms of strength.
He was rough, passionate, and chewed angrily at her lips. He invaded her lips and snuck in when she winced in pain, brazenly took over her mouth, seeming to want to take everything from her, including her breath.
Driven by a mix of embarrassment, anger, and resentment, Bai Xiaoxiao braced herself and bit him hard. She heard Luo Haofeng let out a muffled grunt, causing him to pause in kissing her. She took the opportunity to push him away with all her might.
The next moment, she lifted her hand and slapped Luo Haofeng hard across his attractive face. Luo Haofeng’s head slightly tilted to one side. The heat in his peach-blossom eyes cooled down instantly.
“Luo Haofeng, get out of here right now.”
Bai Xiaoxiao pointed furiously at the door, her chest heaving with her anger.
His kiss just now was a humiliation to her; even if she had a little bit of liking towards him, she wouldn’t allow him to humiliate her like this.
Luo Haofeng had some drinks originally, intending to pluck up courage and act mad to find her. But unexpectedly, although he did manage to kiss her, he ended up getting slapped by her. The hot pain on the left side of his cheek was a constant reminder that this woman before him wasn’t someone he could just kiss whenever he felt like it.
“Xiaoxiao, I came here today to tell you that I like you. I’ve had enough of your deliberate indifference towards me, enough of you avoiding me at all costs because your mom doesn’t like me. Today, let’s settle everything at once.”
