Chapter 135:135, Weiyi: I always listen to Xiaobai!
Translator: 549690339 I
The elderly master of the Mo family wore a stern expression, emanating a thick warning, “Remember, you’re merely an adopted son of our Mo family. The significance of your existence and your value is to pacify Weiyi. It’s only because she likes you that I allowed her to marry you and let the Mo family trust you. Compared to my granddaughter, the company is just a subsidiary. If my granddaughter isn’t happy, I can strip you of everything you have in an instant!”
Xiao Yebai stood there, handsome and reserved, his brows furrowed in coldness. Even after hearing these words, his expression remained unchanged.
“Remember what I said tonight. If something like today’s incident happens again, even if my granddaughter likes you, I won’t be so polite to you!”
“Father, it’s getting late. Let’s go back”, Mo Yaoxiong timely intervened.
The elder inhaled deeply, with the aid of the servants, he entered the elevator.
When the elevator door closed, the old man’s face still wore a heavy look.
It was clear. Because his beloved granddaughter was frightened and severely injured this time, he was genuinely angry.
Even when he was extremely angry previously, he wouldn’t resort to physical violence.
Mo Yaoxiong exhaled in silence.
Turning around, he looked at the still silent young man before him. His eyes flickered with complex emotions.
It happened swiftly.
Gone in a blink of an eye.
Then, he said, “I already explained the company’s matter tonight to father, but Weiyi was scared. She had to be sedated to sleep. That’s why he’s so angry. You must also know that Weiyi’s mother suddenly went crazy and invaded her room in the middle of the night. Since then, she has been afraid to sleep alone…”
“I apologize, it’s my fault,” Xiao Yebai’s clear, cold voice responded, “Starting tomorrow, I will…”
“No need, you should focus on your work. For the hospital, father has already dispatched Rong An to keep watch. Tomorrow, I will send two more servants here.”
Rong An was one of the bodyguards of the Mo family. He was in charge of Weiyi’s security and was transferred back to the mansion after her marriage, citing the need for privacy.
Xiao Yebai nodded.
With a ‘ding’ sound, the elevator at the other end arrived.
“I’m going ahead. Rest early and don’t forget to attend the press conference tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
Mo Yaoxiong looked at him, his gaze weighted with implications.
In the end, he turned and entered the elevator.
After the elevator door closed, Xiao Yebai still stood there, maintaining his original posture.
The corridor lights swept across his head, casting a shadow against his cold outline.
After an unknown period, he lazily lifted his eyelids and looked at the shattered glasses not far from his feet.
The lens was broken, and a part of the frame was missing.
His thin lips curved mockingly, an undercurrent seemed to churn in his eyes.

Mo Weiyi had a nightmare.
She dreamt her mother, with disheveled hair and a white dress, rushing into her room, clutching her shoulders and screaming, “Weiyi, your father is so cruel, so heartless. He’s a liar, a liar, Weiyi, I will take you away, Weiyi…”
“Mom, don’t, mom…” Weiyi tried desperately to push her away.
She was married now, she had left that old house, so why was her mother still searching for her…
“Weiyi, Weiyi, Weiyi!”
Finally, Weiyi opened her eyes.
Seeing the familiar handsome face, she instantly rushed towards him, “Xiaobai, Xiaobai, I’m scared…”
“It’s okay, I’m here.” Xiao Yebai raised his hand and patted her delicate shoulder.
Weiyi buried her face deeply in his chest, her voice still trembling, “Last night,
I clearly saw her…”
“It was an illusion.” The man’s deep and calm voice carried a strong soothing power, “That wasn’t your mother, just a child who sneaked in because the door to the ward wasn’t closed properly.”
Enveloped by the familiar soothing fragrance, Weiyi was able to quell her anxiety slowly.
Then she looked up at him with innocent and aggrieved eyes, “Were you angry with me yesterday? I called but you didn’t answer, you didn’t come back to accompany me till late, I had left the door open so you could get in.”
“It was my fault yesterday. I should have asked a servant to accompany you.”
Xiao Yebai’s admission of fault made Weiyi even more uncomfortable. Now, she hurriedly explains, “Xiaobai, I didn’t mean to push your sister. I know she had just miscarried and I would never use that much force. She provoked me first and tried to push me, so I…”
“I’m aware, that’s in the past now.” Xiao Yebai’s voice was indifferent.
“So, you’re not blaming me?”
“I am.”
Weiyi was taken aback.
Xiao Yebai said seriously, “Your foot still hasn’t recovered. You shouldn’t have impulsively gone down to confront her.”
“I’m sorry.” Weiyi immediately apologized.
“I bought porridge for her yesterday on my way.”
Looking at his indifferent yet elegant face, Weiyi couldn’t help but muster courage and ask, “And your phone…”
“I didn’t lose my phone, I discovered it later.”
Weiyi felt a ripple of excitement she couldn’t suppress in her heart. She hugged his arm, her voice soft, “Then you’re not allowed to hide anything from me anymore. I thought you lied to me. I was very unhappy yesterday.”
“Okay.” Xiao Yebai responded neutrally, “She won’t bother you again. You also behave well. Don’t go looking for her.”
“Okie dokie.” Weiyi lifted her chin, then snuggled her face into his chest, “I’ll listen to Xiaobai.”
“Good.” Xiao Yebai stroked her soft hair, his thin lips seemingly curved into a faint smile..
