Xu Jing laughed gently, “Brother-in-law, don’t set your expectations too high As a parent, what’s better than their child living healthily and peacefu y. eiy is a girl, and moreover, with Yebai by her side, she’s still young…” “She’s twenty years old, one year older than Yunyao, yet lookhow sensible Yunyao is.” Mo Yaoxiong seemed a bit disappointed when he mentioned Qu
Yunyao.
“Yunyao has had a hard life. It’s all my fault for not being able to provide better for her, so she had to mature early…” Xu Jing let out a faint sigh.
“You shouldn’t blame yourself. You can’t force marriage, think about it more open-mindedly.”
“En.”

At noon, Mo Weiyi booked a table at their family’s Dihong Restaurant.
The two left the hospital and drove straight there.
Today was a holiday, and the restaurant was surprisingly busy. Even though the prices were outrageous, many people were eager to get in.
At the entrance of their private room, they unexpectedly ran into an old friend they hadn’t met in a long time.
“Sister Jingyi?” Mo Weiyi was taken aback.
After all, Chu Jingyi had been abroad for many years and didn’t come back often, so it was quite a surprise to see her here.
The weather at the end of September had a chill to it, yet Chu Jingyi was still wearing a sexy, shoulder-baring red gown as if she was waiting for someone.
“Weiyi?” Chu Jingyi was also surprised, she looked at the tall, aloof man . standing by Mo Weiyi’s side, then raised an eyebrow and laughed, “I didn’t expect you two to still be so close.
“We’ve always been quite good.” Mo Weiyi laughed, “Are you waiting for someone?”
Chu Jingyi nodded, then turned her gaze behind them, “They’re here.” “Oh.” A familiar lazy man’s voice was heard. “What a coincidence, to meet the owner and the lady boss.”
It was Chu Xiuhuang.
Seeing him made Mo Weiyi inexplicably nervous, especially with Xiao Yebai by her side.
As expected.
“Little Princess.” Chu Xiuhuang greeted casually, “The thing you did last time, really made my grandpa so happy.”
” Ahuang, what is it?” Chu Jingyi looked at Mo Weiyi.
She was aware of the almost-engagement between her younger brother and Mo
Weiyi two years ago.
She had been planning to come back and celebrate, but suddenly found out she had been jilted, and quickly married Xiao Yebai, the adopted son of the Mo
Family.
Although Xiao Yebai didn’t speak, he also turned his gaze towards Mo Weiyi.
Mo Weiyi quickly retracted her staring gaze, cleverly changed the subject,
“How is Grandpa Chu’s health?”
“He’s fine, since I gave him…” Chu Xiuhuang paused after every word, “a watch.”
Mo Weiyi’s lips twitched a little: “…”
“You mean, the two-million-dollar watch you bought for the grandpa?” Chu
Jingyi asked.
“Yes.” Chu Xiuhuang’s carefree smile and the beautiful, slightly naughty look in his eyes responded, “That watch, I originally wanted to make it a birthday present for CEO Xiao.”
“What’s going on?” Chu Jingyi was confused.
“Alright” Chu Xiuhuang turned around abruptly, “Being a woman and having long hair sometimes makes you a little stupid, but the two of you, you’re both delightfully ditzy.”
Chu Jingyi knitted her brows and quickly followed up.
As for Mo Weiyi, she was irritated and tightened her small fists. This person, really… is… brazen!
What does having long hair have to do with anything!
He was indirectly calling me stupid!
He speaks so ambiguously every time, obviously trying to provoke misunderstandings!
“What happened?” A certain person’s indifferent deep voice suddenly sounded.
Mo Weiyi looked up to see him gazing at her.
The elegant glasses made him look much more refined, but that was just on the surface.
Mo Weiyi immediately tried to please him by clinging onto his arm, “Nothing much, let’s go eat first.”
Xiao Yebai didn’t move, his gaze cold and calm and still on her.
“I’m starving to death, really hungry…” Mo Weiyi softened her voice and acted spoiled, wishing to just gloss over the matter altogether.
No man would like a gift being offered to his woman by another man who had an eye on her. It was a kind of provocation, a blatant slap in the face.
Exactly.
Mo Weiyi thought Chu Xiuhuang was nothing more than shamelessly relentless in his pursuit of her.
Alas, being beautiful was also a burden, unable to shake off all these admirers.
Xiao Yebai casually pulled back his gaze and entered the room.
Mo Weiyi quickly followed in.
They dished up, ate, and then left the restaurant.
Throughout it all, Xiao Yebai spoke very little.
Mo Weiyi didn’t find anything wrong and was actually glad that they didn’t run into the shameless guy when they were leaving.
As soon as they got in the car, she wanted to propose visiting somewhere nearby, but Xiao Yebai was already driving off.
Because she was feeling a bit guilty, Mo Weiyi didn’t ask any further, until the car pulled into Lishui Bay.
Mo Weiyi was surprised, “Xiaobai, why are we back here?”
Xiao Yebai continued to remain silent, got out of the car, and walked straight into the villa.
Mo Weiyi continued to hobble in, leaning on her cane.
When they entered the living room, Xiao Yebai sat on the sofa and began to speakinacalm, cool voice, “Speakup.”
“Huh?”
“Now that we’ve eaten and there’s no one else around, explain the situation earlier.”
Mo Weiyi was taken aback.
She looked at the man’s slightly rigid face, expressionless, as if… he was angry? And he had been angry since the restaurant.
As for why he was angry…
“Xiaobai, are you jealous?”
Realizing this possibility, Mo Weiyi suddenly felt like her heart was being filled with colourful bubbles, it was wonderful and joyful.
This was especially so after she finished speaking, when she saw Xiao Yebai actually turning his face away.
Although he moved quickly, although he was still wearing glasses, although he maintained a poker face without any warmth, Mo Weiyi saw the momentary avoidance in his eyes.
