As soon as he heard that Xiao Yebai was back, Mo Weiyi lost interest in anyone e se and immediately got up, leaning on his crutch, “Xiaobai.”
Xiao Yebai walked in.
He was wearing a handmade black suit, underneath, a spotless white shirt and a neatly tied dark tie. The spectacles on his handsome face added to his charm…
At first glance, he was scholarly and steady, with an inherent indifference and aloofness.
Even the gauze on his forehead couldn’t hide the fact that he was a handsome man.
Qu Yunyao’s eyes were shining as she watched him, her cheeks flushing pink. “What happened? Yiyi’s foot is injured, and now Yebai… his forehead is also injured?” Xu Jing asked.
The Mo family patriarch gave an embarrassed cough and left without saying a word, leaning on his crutch.
Xiao Yebai nodded slightly at the two guests, didn’t say anything, and helped Mo Weiyi to follow.
Xu Jing stood there, feeling slightly awkward.
“Mom,” Qu Yunyao asked quietly, “Does Yiyi not like us being here?”
“Don’t be silly.”
I m not being silly, when I greeted her just now, she ignored me.” Qu Yunyao pouted, looking anxious, “Mom, does Yiyi not like me?”
“That’s not true.” Xu Jing comforted her daughter, “Yiyi has been spoiled since she was little, that’s just her personality. You need to gets along well with her and not overthink things, okay?”
“Okay.”

The long dining table covered with a clean tablecloth was already laden with exquisite dishes.
The Mo family patriarch sat at the head of the table, with Ms. Xu and Mo Yaoxiong sitting on either side.
MO Weiyi and Xiao Yebai sat next to Mo Yaoxiong, while Xu Jing and Qu Yunyao sat across from them.
During the meal, except for Xu Jing who was trying to make conversation the others didn’t talk much.
Qu Yunyao sat across from Xiao Yebai. When she saw Mo Weiyi get up and put a piece of beef into his plate…
Under the table, she suddenly lifted her foot and gently hooked it forward.
Xiao Yebai paused noticeably in his movement.
Qu Yunyao looked at him.
Mo Weiyi also looked at him, “What’s wrong, Xiaobai?”
The man raised his eyes slightly, his black eyes behind the glasses were cold and calm, “Nothing.”
“Ah, I forgot you don’t like coriander, give it all to me.” Mo Weiyi said, taking
all the coriander from the piece of beef back to her own bowl.
“What a coincidence, my Yunyao also doesn’t like coriander.” Xu Jing said with a smile.
“Really?” Mo Weiyi glanced at Qu Yunyao, “Actually, I didn’t like it before either But after staying in a dormitory, my best friend introduced me to it and now I love it all. Especially coriander, it’s so tasty, you guys are missing out.” “Yiyi was too picky when she was younger.” Ms. Xu laughed, “It’s better now that she loves everything and doesn’t gain weight no matter how much she eats.”
Qu Yunyao hooked her lips up slightly and lowered her head.

After dinner, everyone returned to the living room.
Grandma, it s getting late, why don’t you stay here tonight and I’ll have the
driver take you home tomorrow.” Mo Weiyi suggested.
“No, no, no, I’m not used to sleeping here.” Ms. Xu waved her hands.
“But I haven’t seen Grandma in so long.” Mo Weiyi pleaded while holding Ms.
Xu’s hand, “Grandma, please stay with me tonight, would that be ok?”
Ms. Xu touched her hair and smiled with affection, “Is it me you want to stay with you, or is it… Yebai?”
Mo Weiyi’s pretty face turned bright red all of a sudden, she glanced shyly at
Xiao Yebai beside her and then whispered, “Can I have both?”
Her words made Ms. Xu burst into laughter, “Alright, then I’ll stay with Yiyi tonight and leave tomorrow.”
“Ms. Zhou.” Mo Weiyi immediately called out to the maid, “Could you please get someone to clean up Grandma’s room for me.”
“Certainly, Princess.”
Mo Weiyi was happy.
First half of the night with Grandma, second half of the night with Xiaobai…
Suddenly, the sound of a cell phone ringing startled them, Xiao Yebai stood up
“I need to take this call.”
“Sure.”
Qu Yunyao sat there, her gaze fixed on the man’s retreating back.
He had taken off his suit jacket, and from the back, he looked striking in his simple white shirt and black dress pants. His height, long legs, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and scholarly demeanor were captivating.
From the brief glance years ago to now, this man had undoubtedly become more mature and captivating.
A charm distinct from the boys at her school.
After a while, Qu Yunyao stood up, “Mom, I need to use the restroom.”
Mo Yaoxiong spoke up, “Ms. Zhou, please show our guest to the restroom.”
“Of course, Miss, please follow me.”
Qu Yunyao followed Ms. Zhou out of the living room, they walked down the long corridor and finally pushed open a door, “Miss, here is the bathroom.”
“Thank you, Ms. Zhou.”
“You’re welcome.”
Qu Yunyao pushed the door open and walked in.
A light scent of lemon wafted out. The bathroom was spotless, with a sofa, flowers, potted plants, and various decorations. Every detail showcased the Mo family’s wealth.
Famous paintings hung on the walls, and various international luxury skincare products sat on the bathroom counter.
Among them, a half-used bottle of perfume caught her eye. Qu Yunyao had
seen it on TikTok, it cost over 20,000 RMB.
Using such expensive perfume in the bathroom?
Qu Yunyao couldn’t help but marvel as she looked around.
We’re both daughters of the Xu family, so why is there such a big difference in our marriages?
