Chapter 611: 610 I promise you

In the evening, everyone was celebrating the birthday of Qin Mu’s mother.

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran had specifically gone to buy gifts. Bai Xiaoxiao’s gift was bought by Luo Haofeng. He said that she just had to tag along with him and enjoy free food and drinks.

When Qin Mu heard Luo Haofeng’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Bai Xiaoxiao, just listen to Ah Feng. If you were to buy another gift, I would think that you were only invited because of the gift.”

Luo Haofeng gave Qin Mu an approving look, as if they were good buddies. He always cooperated with him tacitly at critical moments, like when they made Xiao Yuting leave the hospital in rage, or when they were on the plane to A City, when Ah Mu knew that he didn’t like Xiao Yuting without him having to express it, so he insisted on swapping seats and not swapping back.

“Xiaoxiao, you don’t have to buy anything,” he added.

Wen Ran laughed as well and snatched the gift Xiaoxiao had selected from her hands. Handing it to Qin Mu, who was standing next to them, he returned it to the shelf.

Qin Mu’s mother was quite enthusiastic. She had a kind and affable smile. Upon seeing Bai Xiaoxiao and Wen Ran, she seemed very pleased and immediately began small talk.

She had known early on that Wen Ran was Mo Xiuchen’s wife, so she asked Bai Xiaoxiao if she had a boyfriend. She was thinking that if Xiaoxiao did not have a boyfriend, she could introduce her son Ah Mu to her. However, before she had even finished speaking, Luo Haofeng interjected, “Aunt Qin, Xiaoxiao is my girlfriend.”

“Haha!” Luo Haofeng’s comment drew laughter from everyone. Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned as red as a tomato as she glared at Luo Haofeng.

With thick skin, he advanced two steps towards her without any change in his expression. Before everyone in the room, he reached out and held Bai Xiaoxiao’s hand. Staring at her intently, he said, “Xiaoxiao, I was going to wait for you to consider my proposal before responding, but when Aunt Qin just asked if you had a boyfriend, I panicked and blurted it out. Don’t be angry, after all, you will be mine sooner or later. Announcing it a little earlier doesn’t make a difference.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face was already flushed due to Luo Haofeng’s previous statement. Luo Haofeng’s shamelessness had now reached a new level. He said all those words in front of everyone with a straight face, while her face was almost on fire.

“Haha, Xiaoxiao, although I like you very much, Ah Feng is too smart. He was afraid that if he confessed too late, I would introduce you to my Ah Mu. Now since he has confessed his love to you in front of us, I will also support him. Ah Feng, Ah Mu, Xiuchen, and Ah Kai are like brothers. I can’t say they’re the best men in the world, but they are certainly one in a thousand. If you are with him, you will not regret it. He wouldn’t dare to bully you. If he does, I’ll stand up for you,” Aunt Qin said.

“Xiaoxiao, see, Aunt Qin can vouch that I’m a good man. You should accept me!” Luo Haofeng said, looking tenderly at Bai Xiaoxiao. He held her hand firmly, but not hard enough to hurt her.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s mind was somewhat muddled. Plenty of eyes were on her, and Luo Haofeng was staring at her intently. The warmth from his palm was transferring right into her heart.

The hand that he was holding was already sweating, all damp.

Bai Xiaoxiao had been confessed to before in her twenty-three years of life. She was beautiful and came from a wealthy family, so she was pursued by countless men both during her school days and after graduating from university.

She had seen all kinds of romantic confessions, but none of the men’s confessions made her heart race or feel as panicky as Luo Haofeng’s words.

At the end of the day, it was because this man made her heart flutter.

Wen Ran watched quietly from the side without saying anything, just smiling. By her side, Mo Xiuchen, who was originally sitting with Qin Mu, came over and pulled Wen Ran to his side. He used his big hand to adjust a strand of hair that was bothering her and placed it behind her ear.

Then, he leaned over and whispered something in her ear that only the two of them could hear, “Ranran, do you think Bai Xiaoxiao will agree to Ah Feng?”

His low voice, close to her ear, and the warm breath brushing her earlobe gave her a tingling sensation. This startled Wen Ran and made her fair cheeks turn slightly pink.

She glanced around subconsciously and saw that everyone was watching Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng, paying no attention to her and Mo Xiuchen. She looked into his deep eyes and whispered, “I don’t know.”

“Then, how about we make a bet? I bet that Bai Xiaoxiao will accept,” Mo Xiuchen suggested with a seductive smile. His breath continued drilling into her eardrum, striking her heart.

Wen Ran looked at Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng who were still exchanging glances. She blinked and then said, “I also bet that Xiaoxiao will accept.”

Before Mo Xiuchen had a chance to respond, Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice resounded across a few steps away, “Alright, I accept you!”

Immediately, the room was filled with applause.

A gleam of joy blossomed in Luo Haofeng’s eyes. In the next second, he pulled Bai Xiaoxiao into his arms. Leaning down, he placed his other hand on the back of her head and kissed her.

This time, there were cheers, whistles, and laughter. Everyone in the room witnessed their love.

Mo Xiuchen only glanced at Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao before dropping his gaze and looking at the woman next to him with a gentle gaze. Wen Ran was also looking at him.

As their eyes locked, a myriad of emotions and words seemed to have melted into that gentle gaze, clearly understood by each other.

Qin Mu was sitting next to Mo Xiuchen, watching Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao from the corner of his eye. In the corner of his gaze, he could see Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran’s intimate gaze towards each other.

He lowered his gaze, a hint of melancholy flashed past but was immediately hidden behind his thick eyelash. When he lifted his gaze, a faint smile was tugged at the corner of his lips, which was a blessing for them.

“Ah Mu, Xiuchen and Ah Feng have both found their lifetime partners, so when are you going to bring home my daughter-in-law?” asked Mother Qin.

When Luo Haofeng let go of Bai Xiaoxiao, Mother Qin started to question her son. She looked at Qin Mu sternly, diverging from her kindness and gentleness just a moment ago.

Qin Mu’s mouth twitched slightly as he responded nonchalantly. “Mom, don’t worry, I’ll definitely find you someone better.”

“Someone better? Are your eyes growing on top of your head? Since you don’t even know what kind of girlfriend you should look for, I’ll set some criteria now. The type of girlfriend you should look for should be just like Ranran and Xiaoxiao.”

At these words, Qin Mu’s expressions underwent a subtle change, but it was fleeting. He quickly lowered his head to cough lightly, and nobody noticed the unusual expression that momentarily flashed across his face, except for Mo Xiuchen who caught a glimpse of it in the corner of his eye.

Luo Haofeng started laughing and pulled Bai Xiaoxiao into his arms. “Ah Mu, you should speed up too!” he said.

“What does that mean? Does Ah Mu already have a girl he likes?” Mother Qin inquired, her eyes lighting up as she stared at Qin Mu.
