Chapter 123:123, who are you trying to flirt with your rustic pickup lines?

Chu Xiuhuang.
Heir to the Chu family, famously renegade bad boy of Nancheng.
He runs casinos, clubs, venture capital firms; he parties, drinks, and womanizes.
It’s said that he changes girlfriends monthly, and the queue of women he’s slept with could circle Nancheng several times over.
At twenty-nine, he possesses a face as handsome as any movie star’s. His facial features are delicately beautiful, yet they don’t make him seem effeminate.
On the contrary, one look would tell you he’s not to be messed with.
The high society of Nancheng is well-aware of a so-called “Crown Prince’s
Party”, comprised of notorious young masters from the wealthiest families.
The most arrogant and domineering among them is Chu Xiuhuang.
He loves stirring up trouble, and he’s fearless in his exploits. In Nancheng, his name is synonymous with scandal.
He had been seen from afar, standing in front of Mo Weiyi’s wheelchair, nonchalantly and casually as if they were old friends catching up.
Hmph.
Xiao Yebai’s black eyes gradually turned icy.
For the first time, he witnessed Mo Weiyi enjoying the company of another
man.
If he recalls correctly, two years ago, she almost became engaged to this man. The media described them as a “match made in heaven”.
Chu Xiuhuang was watching him, and found something interesting…
Amusement spread in his eyes. Could it be that he detected a flicker of…
hostility in the eyes of this icy man?
With a raise of his eyebrows and a deliberately gentle tone full of suggestive warmth, Chu Xiuhuang said, “Ah, little princess, since your husband came to pick you up, I, the third wheel, shall take my leave now. We can continue our discussion about breast augmentation next time.”
Having said that, he turned and swaggered away.
For Mo Weiyi, this left her feeling like she might be killed by him.
Looking at Xiao Yebai’s cold demeanor, she tried to explain, “Xiaobai, please don’t misunderstand, I was just…”
“No need to explain,” Xiaobai interrupted coldly.
Mo Weiyi was speechless.
“Aunt Jiang, wheel the princess back to her room,” ordered Xiao Yebai.
Aunt Jiang hurried over and handed Mo Weiyi a drink.
Mo Weiyi felt her mood change.
Was Xiaobai angry?
But she was still furious herself!
He lied to her about losing his cellphone and didn’t join her at their hotel that night. Instead, he spent the whole evening in the hospital with Xiao Zhiwei.
Mo Weiyi considered herself reasonable and understanding. If Xiao Yebai had told her about Xiao Zhiwei, even with her dislike for Zhiwei, she wouldn’t have forced him to spend their anniversary with her in the hotel.
Instead of explaining Zhiwei’s situation, he lied to her about losing his cellphone. What was his intention? Did he value his sister more than his wife?
Or does he think she, Mo Weiyi, was that domineering and heartless?
The angrier she became, the more silent she grew.
Aunt Jiang, pushing the wheelchair, didn’t dare to speak.
The three of them awkwardly entered the elevator, then returned to the hospital room.
Xiao Yebai bent down and wordlessly lifted her onto the hospital bed.
Upon seeing his face so close, Mo Weiyi remembered when she used to think his aloofness was cool, reserved, and untouchable, making her want to pounce on him. But now…
She scoffed internally, took out her cellphone, and dialed a number after climbing onto the bed.
After connecting the call, she deliberately sweetened her voice to ask, “Baby, how are you?”
As expected, Xiao Yebai glanced at her.
His gaze was still cold and indifferent.
On the phone, Su Wanwan replied, “Just finished the admission procedures.”
“Why so late, darling? It’s almost noon, is it hot out there?”
Su Wanwan’s voice grew dubious, “Mo Xiaose, are you on some kind of drug?” Still maintaining her provocative tone, Mo Weiyi responded, “Just be careful, darling. Once I’ve healed, I’ll come stay with you, and we can sleep together.” After saying this, she glanced at Xiao Yebai, only to see him picking up his phone.
“Darling, are you coming to the hospital to see me this afternoon?” Mo Weiyi asked.
“As soon as I’m settled, I will. What kind of fruits should I bring?”
“No need, darling. As long as you come to see me, I’ll be happy. Love you, baby.”
On her end of the call, Su Wanwan couldn’t hide her look of utter bewilderment.
What was wrong with Mo Xiaose? Did she lose her mind when she fell? Her nauseatingly sweet tone was giving her goosebumps…
“How much longer?”
Huo Jingshen’s voice suddenly rang out.
He had been busy all morning taking the two “royalties” to finalise their school registration. His phone hadn’t stopped ringing all morning; every so often, he had to pick up a call.
Su Wanwan said, “You can go to the company if you have something to do.”
She remembered him saying that he had a meeting at eleven. Being the head of such a large company as Huo Yuan, it was hard on him. After dropping off Fu Ziyang, he had come to escort her as well.
Huo Jingshen glanced at the line in front of them.
Besides her, all the others were freshmen preparing to receive their housing necessities.
“I’ll finish queuing once I get my things,” hinted Su Wanwan.
“No rush,” replied Huo Jingshen, the corners of his lips lifting slightly, “You’re my wife. Being with you is more important than attending a meeting with a bunch of old men.”
The girls in front of them instantly turned around upon hearing his words. “Cough, cough.” Embarrassed, Su Wanwan choked.
Smelly man! Who is he flirting with cheesy lines like that?
About half an hour later, finally, it was Su Wanwan’s turn.
In an attempt to annoy Fu Qi, she had gone out of her way to dress up for the day. In contrast to the freshmen girls around her, she wore a knee-length red floral dress, revealing her slender arms and attractive white legs..
