Chapter 971 970 thats not simple
Chapter 971: 970, that’s not simple. Chapter 971: 970, that’s not simple. “Xiaoxiao, I really miss you. I suddenly regret letting you go abroad for two years…”
After Luo Haofeng finished speaking, he took Bai Xiaoxiao out to eat.
After the meal, without any explanation, he made Bai Xiaoxiao sit on the living room sofa. He washed the dishes before returning to the living room and sitting down next to her, asking with concern,
“Xiaoxiao, what happened with the robbery you encountered?”
Bai Xiaoxiao replied nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. Just that night, when I was coming from outside, two hoodlums sprang out in the alley. Later, a girl and her friend came by, and they left.”
“It’s indeed unsafe for you as a girl by yourself. How about this, I’ll find two bodyguards to protect you.”
Luo Haofeng furrowed his brow and thought for a few seconds before suggesting his idea.
Without a second thought, Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, “No need. I’ve decided to learn some self-defense technique to protect myself. I’ll sign up this weekend, so I won’t have to rely on others if something like this happens again.”
“Learning those can be very tough,” Luo Haofeng said, not wanting her to suffer, yet he thought Bai Xiaoxiao’s idea was good. A single girl out and about, knowing some moves for self-defense, could always protect herself.
And it was more convenient than relying on bodyguards.
Obviously, this only applied to encounters with hoodlums and the like.
Bai Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and smiled confidently, “I’m not afraid of hardship. Besides studying, I don’t have anything else to do. Eudora works part-time and studies hard. She works at the restaurant near the karate dojo and secretly learns from there.”
“Is Eudora the girl who happened to pass by and saved you?”
Luo Haofeng asked, puzzled.
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, that’s her English name. Her Chinese name is Miqin. She looks a bit like Ranran, just with a colder temperament.”
“Are you missing Ranran so much that you think every girl with an Eastern face resembles her?” Luo Haofeng teased.
People who look alike are rare in the world, not nonexistent, but not so easily encountered either.
In his opinion, it must be Xiaoxiao missing Wen Ran so much that she sees a tiny similarity in another girl and then exaggerates that resemblance, feeling they look alike.
“How could that be, you think my eyes are bad?”
Bai Xiaoxiao glared at him, and Luo Haofeng shook his head with a smile, “No, Xiaoxiao, I didn’t mean that.”
“When are you heading back?” Bai Xiaoxiao’s thoughts jumped so quickly that Luo Haofeng, sick with a cold, couldn’t quite keep up. It took him a moment to respond, “I’ll probably stay here for two or three more days. Once I see that you’re okay, I’ll be at ease. I’ll accompany you to sign up at the dojo tomorrow, then I’ll go back.”
“Mhm, that’s enough. If you can see Eudora tomorrow, you’ll know whether what I said is true.”
Luo Haofeng understood in hindsight that her questioning about his return was so that he could meet Eudora and see if she really resembled Wen Ran.

Weekend
Mo Xiuchen played golf with a client, and Wen Ran stayed home because a good friend was visiting.
After finishing breakfast, Mo Xiuchen gave instructions before leaving. She then went back upstairs to rest, and about an hour later, there was a knock at the door.
“Madam, Mrs. Chen and Zhou Lin are here with their children to visit you. They are in the living room downstairs.”
Opening the door, Nanny Zhang immediately reported to her.
Wen Ran paused, nodded, and said, “I got it, you go down first, I’ll be right down.”
After she spoke, she returned to the couch to pick up her phone and went downstairs.
In the living room downstairs, sure enough, Li Qian and Zhou Lin were there, each holding their son and daughter. Tiantian, now six months old, was even cuter than before. Upon seeing Wen Ran, she grinned and excitedly smiled. Being held by Zhou Lin, she waved her little hands, babbling at Wen Ran with her baby talk.
Beside her, Li Qian’s son Dou Dou saw this and grinned too, mimicking Tiantian’s gestures, happily bouncing on his mother’s lap.
“Ranran, Mo Xiuchen called and said that you were home alone. He asked us to bring over the two little ones to keep you company,” Li Qian said with a smile, while Zhou Lin added, “Mo Xiuchen is really a rare find of a good man. Ranran, if you’re not feeling well, don’t hold them.”
“It wasn’t Mo Xiuchen who said this, was it?”
Wen Ran looked at Zhou Lin in astonishment; they brought Tiantian and Dou Dou to keep her company but told her not to hold them.
Li Qian stared at Wen Ran with a curious eye and laughed, “Yes, it’s true. It was Mo Xiuchen who told us. Ranran, don’t tell me, are you pregnant?”
Mo Xiuchen had instructed them over the phone not to let Ranran hold Dou Dou or Tiantian, saying she was not feeling well.
They had just been discussing and guessing if Ranran might be pregnant.
Wen Ran said dejectedly, “If only I were, but unfortunately, it’s my monthly visitor.”
“Pff!”
Zhou Lin couldn’t help but snicker, “Mo Xiuchen was unclear, and we thought you were pregnant. Turns out it’s your monthly visitor. But, Ranran, you’ve gained weight recently, your health seems better. You should start getting busy with making babies soon.”
Wen Ran looked at the little darlings in their arms, feeling the itch to have one immediately, but without Mo Xiuchen’s agreement, what could she do?
Seeing her frustration, Li Qian said laughingly, “Won’t have a baby because Mo Xiuchen is not willing?”
“Mhm, Mo Xiuchen said to wait till after the Spring Festival, to consider having kids next year. I also feel that my health has improved.”
“It’s not like he’s the one getting pregnant. You want to get pregnant, isn’t it simple?” Zhou Lin winked at her.
