Chapter 603: Consideration
Bai Xiaoxiao’s mind pounded again.
She looked at him wide-eyed, she had used force when slapping him just now. At this moment, his handsome left cheek was tinged red, still carrying faint marks of her fingers.
In the past, he was nice to her, he would say some ambiguous words, but there was always a thin film separating them.
Latterly, she distanced herself from him and their relationship gradually faded. Today on the plane, he was warmly chatting with the blonde woman right before her, even though she felt a twinge of discomfort in her heart, she forced herself to act indifferent.
Unexpectedly, he was now saying that he liked her.
She merely felt her heart pause for a moment, then began to beat violently at a speed she could not control. The heavy beats echoed in her ears, making her feel dizzy.
Luo Haofeng’s figure was tall and upright, and he was so close to her. His warm breath fanned all over her face, making her own face even redder and hotter than his, where she had slapped him.
He pressed his thin lips tightly together, his eyes sharp as he looked at her. Before she could speak, he said, “I’ve already decided, I’ll pursue you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao heard her own voice, carrying three parts annoyance, two parts of skepticism, and one part of joy that even she didn’t want to believe. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
His confession was far more comforting than his flirting with another woman in front of her that afternoon.
“I’m not drunk, Xiaoxiao, I know what I am doing. I like you, I really like you. If you don’t believe me, I will prove it.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s body trembled slightly. Her heart seemed to be leaping out of her chest. Clenching her lips tightly, his clearly deep and hoarse yet resolute words, “I like you, I really like you…” kept echoing in her ears.
She suddenly turned around, trying to open the door to let him leave. However, just as she turned around, his large hand grabbed her again, holding onto her wrist and abruptly pulling her into his embrace…
Bai Xiaoxiao’s body stiffened in his arms, she forgot to push him away.
“Xiaoxiao, will you be my girlfriend?”
“Don’t you have a lot of confidants?”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart was racing, her mind in chaos, so much so that faced with his confession, she forgot her mother’s warning, forgot her firm refusal, the words she blurted out were full of bitterness.
Luo Haofeng was at first taken aback, then he smiled with a hooked lip, his eyes bright as he teasingly said: “Xiaoxiao, I’m very happy you are jealous for me.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed, she instinctively rebutted, “Who’s jealous for you? You are drunk, go back where you came from.”
Her mind finally started to function again, she tried to push him towards the door, but Luo Haofeng didn’t cooperate. Her attempt to push his tall frame to the door failed and he stopped her from opening the door.
“Xiaoxiao, you haven’t agreed yet.”
He looked at her with burning eyes and a captivating smile at the corner of his mouth. He wasn’t sure whether she liked him as much as he liked her.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt goosebumps under his stare. He probably wouldn’t leave without an answer. She frowned slightly and said somewhat rigidly, “You have to give me some time to think. I will reply to you in a few days.”
Luo Haofeng narrowed his eyes, he no longer pressed her: “Okay, then I’ll leave. Don’t get too close to Xiao Yuting, he has ulterior motives towards you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t respond to his words, instead, she hurriedly opened the door when he stepped aside, pushing him out and slamming the door shut.
Outside, Haofeng’s voice came through the door, clear and joyful: “Xiaoxiao, I’m going now.”
Back to D country, after Wen Ran finished the call with Bai Xiaoxiao, she stood by the window in a daze for a while. Turning around, she saw Mo Xiuchen sitting on the bed, looking at her tenderly.
Her eyes flashed in surprise, she smiled lightly and walked towards him: “Xiuchen, when did you wake up?”
Mo Xiuchen’s lips curved up lightly, his eyebrows looked tender as he gazed at her, he definitely didn’t just wake up.
As Wen Ran approached the bed, he reached out and held her soft hand. She, moved forward by his grasp, fell into his arms. Mo Xiuchen put his other hand around her waist, his chin lightly resting on her shoulder, his voice sounding softly in her ear: “Ranran, how long have you been awake?”
Wen Ran’s heart missed a beat.
For some reason, his hug stirred an indescribable feeling in her heart. It felt as if her heart was being softly tugged at, causing a slight pain.
She always knew that Mo Xiuchen seemed calm and composed on the surface. These days he never showed any negative emotions towards her, but she knew deep down he was more nervous and worried than her.
With this thought, she tightly hugged him back and softly said: “I just woke up too, I was on a call with Xiaoxiao. I wanted to let you sleep a bit longer, but you woke up unexpectedly.”
Mo Xiuchen pulled back a bit, his gaze deep yet gentle as he looked at her. He lightly laughed, “Ranran, today is the day of your reexamination, how could I possibly sleep in?”
Wen Ran also laughed, and playfully said: “If you hadn’t woken up, I would have gone to the hospital on my own. It’s just down the street, it’s not too far away.”
Because they lived so close to the hospital and her situation was special, she didn’t stay overnight at the hospital. Instead, she came back to the hotel to sleep every night, then she went to the hospital in the morning.
Mo Xiuchen lightly tapped her forehead with his finger, commanding her dominantly: “Ranran, get my clothes for me.”
Wen Ran agreed cheerfully, turned around, and went to get his clothes.
