Chapter 728: 727 might really be breaking up
Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict
When Wen Ran woke up the next morning, she saw the message Mo Xiuchen had sent the night before.
It was merely the same two characters as hers, even possibly copied from her message. But upon seeing these two characters, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.
Though the messages seemed meaningless on the surface.
In her heart, they reminded her of their loving texts during their days of love, and Wen Ranâs mood was great for the entire day.
Qing Feng, Qing Yang, and Little Liu continued to plant the fruit trees they hadnât finished planting yesterday.
Wen Ran picked some peaches from a nearby orchard in the morning.
In the afternoon, she picked some grapes and plums. She sat in the yard, reading a book and eating fruit, in a very leisurely mood.
When Qing Feng and the others saw her swollen eyes in the morning, they were worried, but seeing her bright smile all day without a hint of sadness, they set their concerns aside.
After sunset, Wen Ran watered the flowers she had planted yesterday and personally cooked dinner.
That night, after taking a bath, she was thinking about calling Bai Xiaoxiao.
Just as she was about to ask about the situation on Bai Xiaoxiaoâs side, her phone rang a second earlier, the caller was Bai Xiaoxiaoâs mother.
A sense of surprise flashed through Wen Ranâs mind as she stared at the phone screen for a few seconds.
She then pressed the answer button, her voice soft and cheerful, âHello, Aunt Qiao.â
âRanran, whereâs Xiaoxiao?â
On the phone, Mother Baiâs voice came through.
Unlike her usual gentleness, it was filled with suppressed anger.
When Wen Ran heard it, her heart skipped a beat.
Her brain worked quickly as she wondered what Aunt Qiao meant by this.
Did she know Bai Xiaoxiao had gone to Luo Haofengâs house and came to reprimand her, or had she heard some rumors?
Or did she suspect something and call to test her?
With her mind racing, she laughed and said, âAunt Qiao, Xiaoxiao is taking a bath, sheâll beâ¦â
âRanran, I have always trusted you, I didnât expect, even you would lie and deceive me, Xiaoxiao isnât with you at all, how long do you plan to cover up for her?â
Mother Bai interrupted Wen Ran.
Her face changed slightly and she quietly swore to herself.
Given how sure Aunt Qiao was that Xiaoxiao wasnât with her, Xiaoxiao must have gotten caught.
âAunt Qiao, donât be angry, Iâm the one who is wrong, I want to apologize to you.â
Before figuring out the exact situation, Wen Ran didnât dare to say that Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng were sincerely in love, asking Mother Bai not to break them up and so on.
Luo Haofeng is not from G City, although not as far as Qin Muâs house, itâs still a city away.
Moreover, it was her who asked Bai Xiaoxiao to come to the countryside with her.
Aunt Qiao already knew the truth so quickly, and given the anger in her voice, itâs very likely that she knew that Bai Xiaoxiao went to Luo Haofengâs house.
âRanran, you donât need to apologize, I know you and Xiaoxiao are like sisters, no matter what she asks for your help, you will always help.â
Listening to Mother Baiâs words, Wen Ran was taken aback, not understanding her meaning.
Maybe, Aunt Qiao is not angry anymore.
She didnât dare to make a sound, but just quietly listened.
Mother Qiao paused, then sighed softly and said in a resigned tone: âRanran, Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng canât be together.â
Wen Ran pursed her lips and cautiously asked, âAunt Qiao, Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng are in love. If youâre against their relationship because of Luo Haofengâs past, I promise you that he will not hurt Xiaoxiao.â
âRanran, do you think that Aunt Qiao is unreasonable?â
âOf course not.â
Wen Ran forced a smile, even though the other party couldnât see it.
Mother Bai also laughed, but even across the phone, Wen Ran could hear the bitterness in her laugh.
She was silent for a while before revealing the reason for always opposing Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofengâs relationship: âLuo Haofengâs parentsâ¦.â
After hearing her words, Wen Ran was stunned for a moment, then she hesitated and called out:
âAunt Qiaoâ¦..â
âRanran, I know Xiaoxiao visited Luo Haofengâs parents today, his mother called me.â
Wen Ran still hadnât recovered from the shock of her previous words,
when she heard that Luo Haofengâs mother had called her.
She didnât even have time to think and instinctively realized that Luo Haofengâs mother would not have said anything nice on the phone.
Concernedly she asked, âAunt Qiao, did Luo Haofengâs parents do anything to make Xiaoxiao uncomfortable?â
âHmm.â
Mother Baiâs voice revealed a complex emotion, even seemed somewhat stiff.
âRanran, Xiaoxiao has a personality that she wonât turn back until she hits the south wall. The more I oppose her being with Luo Haofeng, the more rebel she becomes, insisting on being with him. Now, even Luo Haofengâs mother saw her, itâs a good thing. After she comes back, you persuade her for me.â
âOkay, I will call Xiaoxiao right away.â
Wen Ran was worried. Although Aunt Qiao said Luo Haofengâs mother didnât make Xiaoxiao uncomfortable, she couldnât feel at ease knowing about their relationship.
She rubbed her forehead with a sigh of headache.
Why were their elder generationsâ relationships so complex, filled with so many grudges and feuds?
Her parents and Fu Jingyi were like that, as were Mo Xiuchenâs father and Xiao Wenqing, who also had an old romance with Wu Tianyi.
And now, even between Aunt Qiao and Luo Haofengâs parents, things were complicated and tangled.
Suddenly, she felt so tired.
Mother Bai must be tired too, she didnât say much else.
After reminding her to make sure Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng broke up, she hung up the phone.
Wen Ran calmed her emotions, then immediately dialed Bai Xiaoxiaoâs number.
After a few rings, Bai Xiaoxiaoâs voice came through the dark night, âHello, Ranran.â
âXiaoxiao, where are you now?â
Wen Ran tried to make her voice sound calm and normal.
âIâm in a hotel, Ranran, I think, Luo Haofengâs parents donât like me.â
Before Wen Ran could ask, Bai Xiaoxiao took the initiative to say.
Ignoring the complex emotions in her heart, Wen Ran gently asked, âWhy donât they like you, did Luo Haofengâs parents show you any displeasure?â
âItâs even more uncomfortable than them directly showing displeasure⦠Ranran, I think, Luo Haofeng and I might really have to break up.â
Bai Xiaoxiaoâs voice was tainted with a hint of heartbreaking sadness, she didnât understand why dating could be so difficult.
Her requirements were not high, she just wanted to find someone she liked, and who liked her in return.
Maybe her thought was too simple.
She had always thought she was pretty, and her family was not poor either, she should be a good match for Luo Haofeng.
However, today, after meeting his parents, especially his motherâs attitude towards her, she felt extremely upset.
âXiaoxiao, what happened?â
Hearing Bai Xiaoxiaoâs distressed voice, Wen Ran felt a tightening in her heart and asked anxiously.
Bai Xiaoxiao gave a bitter laugh, and when her voice came again,
it was barely audible, saying, âRanran, perhaps your previous presumption is correct.â
