Initially, she wanted to style her hair into a bun, but her hands were simply too clumsy, failing even after much attempt. In the end, she could only tie it into a ponytail and insert a hairpin.
“Hmm.” Xiao Yebai responded, “I need to head back to the office first.”
“You didn’t even look!” Mo Weiyi pouted unhappily, “Also, it’s almost time for lunch, you can go after eating.”
“I have a luncheon meeting.”
Speaking of the luncheon, Mo Weiyi thought of the matter regarding the Qi Family.
“Xiaobai, did your father speak to you about the Qi family’s matter?”
“Yes.”
“How are you handling it? Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. After all, this matter came about because of me.”
Mo Weiyi was very self-aware; had she been more patient yesterday, they might not have ended up in such a big mess.
But if she truly had been patient then, then she wouldn’t be Mo Weiyi anymore.
Xiao Yebai glanced at her, a calm expression on his handsome face, “No need, I’ll handle it at the hospital in the afternoon.”
Hearing his tone, Mo Weiyi felt relieved.
From their first meeting until now, Xiaobai has been the man she trusted most.
No matter how serious the situation, as long as Xiaobai was there, he would always have a perfect solution in the end.
Mo Weiyi stood on tip-toes, a sweet smile spread across her face, “Then, do you think…”
She tilted her head, letting him once again notice the hairpin in her hair, “Is it pretty?”
“Pretty.”
“What’s pretty?” Mo Weiyi prompted.
Xiao Yebai looked at her, a slight smile played on his lips, “You are pretty.”
Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but laugh, but softly pressed on, “Beside me, what else?”
Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow:”…”
Mo Weiyi:
After a standoff, Mo Weiyi finally gave up, “I was asking you, do I look good with this hairpin?”
He really didn’t understand courtship!
Xiaobai was great in all aspects, except he was too dense when it came to matters between men and women!
Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but lament in her mind.
Meanwhile, as if just noticing the hairpin, Xiao Yebai reached out to touch it lightly with his slender, pale fingers.
Mo Weiyi leaned against his broad chest, drawing circles on his dark shirt, her voice lazy and teasing, “How did you think of giving me a hairpin?”
Xiao Yebai’s voice was deep and indifferent, “I gave this to you?”
“This hairpin, didn’t you give it to me?” Mo Weiyi felt sweet inside, “Seriously, why did you place it in the old house? If I didn’t find it, were you not planning to tell me?”
Xiao Yebai paused, then reached up to remove the hairpin.
Instantly, Mo Weiyi’s thick curls fell loose, spreading over the two of them.
Xiao Yebai held the hairpin in his elegant fingers, his eyes narrowing slightly behind his glasses.
“What’s wrong?” Mo Weiyi looked at him, puzzled.
“Nothing.” Xiao Yebai slipped the hairpin into his trouser pocket, speaking calmly, “It’s just that this hairpin was placed in the wrong place.”
“Misplaced?”
“Yes.” Xiao Yebai gave a wry smile, “Are you going to school this afternoon?”
“I think I don’t have any classes, why?”
Xiao Yebai said, “I have some matters to handle. When I’m done, I’ll come and pick you up at home.”
“Alright.”
Mo Weiyi instantly agreed happily when Xiaobai took the initiative to pick her up.
As Xiao Yebai turned to leave, he looked back at her, “Don’t mention the hairpin to anyone for now.”
Mo Weiyi was confused, but still nodded, “Alright.”
Xiaobai must be embarrassed!
Only after Xiao Yebai left did Mo Weiyi realize, why did he take the hairpin as well?
**
Xiao Yebai left the villa and headed to an office building just behind the courtyard.
He stayed there for about half an hour before driving away.
While on the road, he received a call from Mo Yaoxiong.
“Yebai, has the Qi family sent you a legal notice?”
“I haven’t arrived at the office yet.”
Mo Yaoxiong recounted the situation, then concluded, “The Qi Family is in the land development business. If we want to work on the development project in the western city, we must cooperate with them. We’ve already pretty much finalized the deal, we just need to sign the contract. But with this sudden incident, it seems they want to break the contract. Additionally, I’ve heard that… Huangyou are also in contact with them regarding this matter.” “I’m aware.”
“Do you have any good solutions?” Mo Yaoxiong asked, “Huangyou never dealt with land development before but since Huo Yuan became the president, their collaboration has enhanced and their competition with us has increasingly been on a similar level. Though the Chu Family has never been involved in the business sector, Chu Xiuhuang is an ambitious man and the Chu and Huo Families have always had a good private relationship.”
Some things were best left unsaid.
Xiao Yebai’s lips formed a thin smirk, “I’m going to the hospital this afternoon.” **
After Xiao Yebai left, Mo Weiyi returned to the hall to talk to the old master, Mo.
When Mo Weiyi was still a baby, the old lady, Mo, passed away. Despite having no memories of her grandmother, she always noticed that there was no one by the old master’s side, implying that the couple must’ve had great affection for each other.
Today was his wife’s death anniversary, and the old master was feeling low. After a brief chat, he said he wanted to rest and skipped lunch.
After her afternoon nap, Mo Weiyi got out of bed, intending to go to the villa at the back to check on Rong An’s condition.
She’s been in recuperation for over half a month now, and it’s unclear how she’s doing.
Just as she was passing the north villa, Qu Yunyao’s voice sounded, “Sister Yiyi.”
Mo Weiyi stood and looked at her.
Qu Yunyao came out of the villa, wearing a white dress that reached the floor, lending her an air of artistry. It was a summer outfit, unsuitable for this chilly weather but she had thick fur coat over it.
The mix was indeed bizarre!
The always fashion-conscious Mo Weiyi could hardly accept it.
Seeing Mo Weiyi’s gaze fixed on her, the smirk in Qu Yunyao’s eyes deepened and she proudly declared, “This coat was given to me by my boyfriend.”
“I see,” Mo Weiyi replied, raising her graceful, red lips. “It seems you two are in a good relationship.”
Qu Yunyao blushed and giggled, “The weather changing so unpredictably and I’ve not been feeling well, he’s worried about my health, and so…”
Mo Weiyi interrupted, “Excuse me, I need to go as there is something else.”
She was tired of dealing with this cousin.
Before, she had felt sorry for her being a poor, motherless girl. But after her melodramatic charade last time, and the feigned innocence and regret afterwards, she found her too fake.
“Wait, Sister Yiyi, wait.” Qu Yunyao hastily caught up to her, reaching out to grasp her clothes.
“What now?” Mo Weiyi was clearly exasperated.
Qu Yunyao looked at her, puzzled.
When she went to give away the painting last time, she had left a hairpin on their bed. Just now, she saw both Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai entering the room; they ought to have noticed the hairpin by now, right?
Why was there still no reaction?
The Magnolia hairpin wasn’t expensive and on one glance, it didn’t match Mo Weiyi’s luxurious style at all.
Didn’t she suspect anything?
“Yunyao?” Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, “Any other matters?”
Qu Yunyao had no choice but to say, “The weather’s been getting colder, Sister Yiyi, take care of your health and don’t fall ill like last time.”
Mo Weiyi gave her a helpless look,
Then, she turned around and left.
Watching Mo Weiyi’s aristocratic departure, Qu Yunyao clenched her fists with a bitter smile in her eyes, increasing with each layer.
Upon returning to her room, she received a call from Xu Rui, aggravating her mood.
“Yunyao, when are you going to tell Xiao Yebai that you’re pregnant?”
“Why are you in such a hurry? I’m not even stable yet…”
“It’s almost been two months.” Xu Rui interrupted her, “The pictures and chat logs are all ready, and it’s undeniable that he violated you. What are you afraid of?”
Qu Yunyao couldn’t bring herself to respond.
She was afraid of Xiao Yebai denying it all as it’s a fabricated accusation.
That’s why she could only take action against Mo Weiyi, wanting to instill doubts about Xiao Yebai in Mo Weiyi’s mind, plant seeds of distrust, so when the incident takes place, they can be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Who knew that Mo Weiyi would be as dull as a cow!
She had given countless hints and suggestions, but Mo Weiyi still remained clueless.
Was it because she believed Xiao Yebai too much?
Believing that he wouldn’t betray her?
Qu Yunyao felt desperate in her heart, but also felt a kind of inefficacy.
“Yunyao? Are you even listening to me?”
“I heard you.” Qu Yunyao thought for a moment, “They seldom return to the old house to stay, so it’s difficult to find an opportunity. I want Mo Weiyi to see me lying on Xiao Yebai’s bed in person, the shock of which would leave them speechless!”
“Great, I’ll send those pictures and chat logs to you, keep them safe.”
“Ok.”
Soon, a message from Xu Rui arrived on WeChat..
