My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 857 - : 857, I am a child adopted by the Mo Family
Chapter 857: 857, I am a child adopted by the Mo Family
“Yes, a relative just happens to be hospitalized here.”
While speaking, Ling Zhizhou placed the lilies he was holding on the table beside the bed, “Senior, these flowers are for you.”
A rich fragrance instantly assailed her nostrils.
Lilies typically have a strong scent, and since becoming pregnant, Mo Weiyi had not been around such fresh flowers for a long time.
Whether at home or in the hospital room, everything had been replaced with other plants that had a more delicate fragrance.
Smelling that overly pungent aroma at this moment, Mo Weiyi slightly furrowed her brows but still politely expressed her thanks, “Thank you.”
Ling Zhizhou’s fingers lightly pressed on the bouquet as if touching it subtly, then withdrew them and placed his hands behind his back.
“Please, have a seat,” Mo Weiyi said.
“Okay.”
After Ling Zhizhou sat down on the couch, Mo Weiyi added, “There are drinks in the fridge over there. Help yourself to whatever you’d like, don’t be shy.”
“…Oh, okay.”
Ling Zhizhou then stood up again, somewhat uncomfortably walking to the fridge.
Although this hospital wasn’t as upscale as Nangong Hospital, the VIP rooms were still quite luxurious, and the fridge was stuffed full of an array of items.
As he grabbed a drink, Mo Weiyi picked up the remote control and pressed “play.”
The sound from the entertainment news immediately came through the TV.
“Recently, Sister Ruan’s precious daughter, Fang Kaiying, joined a new film. This movie is the domestic debut of the renowned overseas Chinese female director Yan Shunhua. It is reported that Fang Kaiying is taking on the role of a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, a departure from her sweet and compliant roles prior to this. Regarding this, Sister Ruan expressed that this is a recognition of her daughter’s acting skills and is also thankful to the investors and crew for trusting her daughter.”
The shot switched to Ruan Qiyang holding a microphone looking into the camera.
From the background, it seemed she was in a home office, a row of artistic bookshelves behind her. She wore a red outfit, her makeup bright and her smile indulgent.
“Dear Kaiying, this is your first venture onto the big screen. Mom hopes you can remain calm and diligent, learn valuable experiences from your seniors on set…”
“Senior,”
Ling Zhizhou suddenly called out.
Mo Weiyi turned her face to look at him, “What is it?”
“When did you start liking…”
Suddenly, the phone rang, interrupting Ling Zhizhou.
Mo Weiyi picked up the phone, glanced at the screen, immediately turned off the TV, and answered the call, “Zhan Yao.”
Ling Zhizhou heard the name, his expression slightly changing.
“Okay, send me all the details.”
“…”
“Thank you.”
After hanging up, Ling Zhizhou quickly asked, “Senior, do you have a friend coming over?”
Mo Weiyi, still looking at her phone, didn’t lift her head, “No, he’s not coming over.”
Ling Zhizhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the WeChat notification sounded, and Zhan Yao had sent the addresses of Ruan Qiyang’s residence in Kyoto, the old Fang Family mansion, and even the address of the Fang Family media company.
Right after, he sent several more messages:
[Yebai still doesn’t know about this.]
[Little Princess, you’re not really going to Kyoto to recognize your relatives, are you?]
[I think Yebai should know, if you are going, let him accompany you.]
Mo Weiyi replied emotionlessly: [He can’t control me now, there’s no need to let him know.]
Zhan Yao: […]
Without another word, Mo Weiyi sent a message to Rong An, [Accompany me to Kyoto tomorrow, check the flight tickets and let me know once you’ve bought them.]
The hospital room was very quiet.
Ling Zhizhou didn’t speak, just watched her busy herself until Mo Weiyi seemed too impatient to wait and made a call.
“Rong An, didn’t you see the message I sent?”
“…”
“Yes, you will come with me, best if we can leave tomorrow morning.”
“…”
After she hung up the phone, Ling Zhizhou asked nonchalantly, “Senior, aren’t you hospitalized right now? Where are you planning to go?”
Mo Weiyi put down his phone and looked up at him.
His dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if considering something.
Ling Zhizhou just let her gaze fall on him…
Her beautiful cat-like eyes, clear and innocent, especially with the blue and white hospital gown she wore, and her slightly messy, curly, long hair…
She seemed like a naive little girl, but Ling Zhizhou suddenly felt a bit guilty.
His hands clenched unconsciously on his lap, and then, he licked his lips and spoke with difficulty, “Senior…”
“I want to go to Kyoto.”
Kyoto?
Ling Zhizhou was a bit surprised, “To Kyoto at this time? For a trip?”
Without waiting for Mo Weiyi’s reply, he quickly continued, “The sun in Kyoto is particularly harsh. If you are going, Senior, you must take care of yourself, especially since you are pregnant now. Be careful on the road.”
Mo Weiyi hooked her red lips and suddenly laughed, “Ling Zhizhou.”
Ling Zhizhou looked at her blankly, “What is it, Senior?”
Mo Weiyi spoke with a smile, “All these years, although I receive many blessings and gifts on my birthday, honestly, I have very few real friends.”
“Especially with so much happening recently, I’ve realized that hardly anyone genuinely cares for me. So,” she said earnestly, “Ling Zhizhou, thank you.”
Ling Zhizhou’s expression was awkward, “Senior, don’t say that, I’ve always considered you a good friend.”
“Mm.” Mo Weiyi seemed in a good mood, “That’s why I’m quite happy now.”
She hadn’t planned on telling anyone about going to Kyoto.
Moreover, Su Wanwan had been facing lots of issues recently and was struggling herself, so Mo Weiyi didn’t want to bother her too much…
However, Ling Zhizhou’s sudden visit gave her an unexpected urge to confide.
But Ling Zhizhou had no idea about her thoughts and wasn’t interested in any beverages. His smile rigid, nerves taut, he found himself glancing at the bouquet on the table from time to time.
Next to it was an alarm clock.
It had been almost 10 minutes since he entered, and the drug should be taking effect soon, right?
“Actually,” Mo Weiyi took a deep breath, “I am going to Kyoto to find my birth mother.”
When he heard this, Ling Zhizhou thought he had misheard.
He shifted his gaze back to Mo Weiyi, “What did you just say?”
“I said that I am actually an adopted child of the Mo Family.”
Ling Zhizhou’s eyes widened abruptly.
He even stood up from the sofa and took a step forward, “Are you joking? How is this possible?”
“I felt exactly how you look now when I first found out . . . I couldn’t believe it,” Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, “But now I have come to terms with it. It’s the truth, so there’s no harm in telling you, after all . . . you might be, aside from Wanwan and Huanhuan, my best friend.”
Ling Zhizhou didn’t respond.
He stared at Mo Weiyi, his face filled with shock.
The summer in Nancheng always arrived particularly early, and the recent days had been scorching hot.
Yet at this moment, he felt a slight chill.
Was the air conditioning set too low?
After what seemed like a long time, he finally found his voice, “Senior, you’re lying to me, aren’t you?”
Mo Weiyi thought Ling Zhizhou’s question was a bit odd.
But . . .
she didn’t think too much about it.
“It’s true, why would I lie to you?”
“But . . . ” Ling Zhizhou’s eyes were full of doubt, “Haven’t you always been the only child of the Mo Family? The Mo Family loves you so much . . . ”
“That was before,” Mo Weiyi sighed softly, “Ever since I discovered I was only adopted, grandfather has been ignoring me for several days.”
As she spoke, she reached up to rub her eyes.
For some reason, she suddenly felt very sleepy, and her whole body felt drowsy . . .
Ling Zhizhou, still on the sofa, hadn’t yet realized something was off.
He kept his head down, brows tightly knit, his mind in utter turmoil.
How could this be?
Mo Weiyi was just an adopted child of the Mo Family?
Why had no one ever mentioned this to him before?
Did Quan Muze know about this?
“Ling Zhizhou…”
“Ling Zhizhou…”
Mo Weiyi called out several times in succession.
Ling Zhizhou finally snapped to attention and hurriedly stood up to come to the bedside.
Glancing at the clock on the nearby table, he asked with concern, “Senior, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”
“I’m a bit sleepy…” Mo Weiyi blinked hard, trying to shake off the drowsiness, “I kind of want to sleep…”
“You should sleep then, I won’t disturb your rest,” Ling Zhizhou said.
“Okay.” Mo Weiyi nodded, flattened the pillow, slid down, and then pulled a thin blanket over herself, “Ling Zhizhou…”
“What is it?”
Ling Zhizhou’s voice was faint, somewhat hard to hear clearly.
In fact, Mo Weiyi’s eyelids were now too heavy to keep open. Lying there, overwhelmed by sleepiness, she said, “When you leave, remember to close the door…”
The young man just stood by the bed motionless, watching her until she finished speaking then immediately closed her eyes.
The hands by his side were tightly clenched into fists.
After a long time, he quietly responded, “Okay.”
The hospital room was very quiet.
Ling Zhizhou tried calling out a few times, “Senior? Senior? Senior?”
Mo Weiyi did not react at all, her eyes closed as she lay there, as if she had completely lost consciousness.
The drug had already taken effect.
All he needed to do now was take her away to avenge his sister, allowing his parents to rest in peace below the springs…
But Ling Zhizhou’s expression was extremely conflicted, he continued standing by the bedside, hesitating to make a move.
After an unknown amount of time, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated…
It was as if he finally snapped out of it, he immediately grabbed the bunch of lilies from the table and turned to leave quickly.
**
Once outside in the corridor, Ling Zhizhou did not take the elevator but instead turned towards the emergency exit.
Opening the door and walking down a flight of stairs, there stood a man and a woman in the corner.
Seeing him approaching alone with the bouquet of lilies in his hands…
Agui frowned instantly, “What happened?”
Ling Zhizhou handed her the flowers.
Agui took them and pulled out a box of medication that had already been opened, looking even more puzzled, “What does this mean? Did you have guests? Were you unable to succeed?”
Ling Zhizhou remained silent.
Agui’s frown tightened even further.
Since Mo Weiyi was admitted to this hospital, she had been under observation for several days.
Xiao Yebai generally would visit in the afternoon or after finishing work, but he usually couldn’t stay long, quickly leaving each time.
The servant taking care of Mo Weiyi would stay overnight in the hospital room, but in the morning, afternoon, and evening, she would regularly go home to prepare meals and then bring them back, taking about an hour each time.
Thus, the window for action was very limited, and today was the best opportunity.
A spy embedded in the Mo Group had already sent a notification that Xiao Yebai and leaders from the city investment bureau had an important dinner meeting today and he could not come to the hospital.
The bodyguard named Rong An had also been dispatched to Nancheng Hospital.
As for the servant, she had already left the hospital at 10 o’clock…
Other than an unexpected visitor, Agui couldn’t think of any other reason for the failure.
Ling Zhizhou finally spoke up, but he said…
“Let’s withdraw.”
“What?” Agui’s expression changed.
The other person was also surprised, “Why withdraw?”
Ling Zhizhou said, “I’ll explain later.”
As he tried to leave, Agui grabbed him abruptly.
“What exactly happened? If you don’t explain clearly, I can’t report back to Young Master Quan.”
Ling Zhizhou suddenly pushed her away, his handsome face full of struggle and contortion, “I will speak to him myself.”
Agui: “…”
**
The three of them hurriedly descended the stairs, eventually leaving through the back door on the ground floor.
As the black sedan drove away from the hospital, Agui immediately took out her phone and called Quan Muze, then quickly said, “Mr. Ling, Mr. Quan has some questions for you.”
Ling Zhizhou looked up and reached for the phone.
“What’s going on with you?” on the phone, the man’s voice was slightly frivolous.
“…” Ling Zhizhou didn’t speak.
“I remember telling you before, if you really fell for her and can’t bear to hurt her, preferring to disappoint your parents underground and Lingling lying in the hospital bed, I wouldn’t force you,” Quan Muze’s tone shifted, “But this time you assured me yourself that you would bring Mo Weiyi here. What now? Having regrets? Going soft? I’ve prepared everything, and you’re pulling out at the last minute? Hah.”
He scoffed coldly, “Interesting.”
Ling Zhizhou gritted his teeth and finally spoke, “I haven’t gone soft.”
“Then where the hell is he!”
Suddenly, the sound of glass shattering resounded through the phone.
The man’s tone became chilly and oppressive, “Agui tells me you didn’t bring anyone out at all! Speak up, what exactly happened!”
Ling Zhizhou said, “She is not the child of the Mo Family.”
“What did you say?”
“Just now, she personally told me she was adopted by the Mo Family. So… I think there’s a rightful target for debts and grievances. We should go directly after the Mo Family members for revenge, instead of…”
“You actually believe such nonsense?” Quan Muze interrupted him.
“There’s no reason for her to lie to me.”
Mo Weiyi’s expression just now genuinely didn’t seem like she was lying.
Even if she was lying, it was unlikely she would use her own lineage.
Moreover, at that moment, she was already somewhat unconscious due to the effects of medication. During such an uncontrollable state of mind, how could she possibly think of lying to him?
“I believe her because she has indeed been very strange recently.”
“Hah, you’re clearly just too soft-hearted to act, don’t look for other excuses. Ling Zhizhou, I’ve really seen through you! You’re just like your father, inherently weak! Always so timid and incapable! I shouldn’t have sent you in the first place. Now you’ve alerted them, if it gets investigated I won’t help you again…”
Suddenly, the rear car window was violently rolled down.
Immediately afterward, Ling Zhizhou smashed it with force.
The black phone was thrown out the window.
Agui in the front seat: “…”
That was her phone!!!

Huashang Hotel.
Xiao Yebai drank quite a bit.
Coming out of the men’s restroom, it was clear to see his brow furrowed, his cold, white handsome face slightly flushed, and his eyes behind his glasses filled with blood.
“Mr. Xiao? Are you alright?”
Xiao Yebai lifted his head.
The one who followed him was the head of the corporate business department, Director Xu.
At this moment, he looked somewhat worriedly at his clearly intoxicated boss, “Mr. Xiao, when we get back to the private room, should I say hello to Director Liu’s secretary to end it early and send you home to rest…
“No need.”
“But, I saw you just drank a lot…” His next words were swallowed back under the man’s cold gaze.
Visit fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm for the best novel reading experi𝒆nce.
No choice but to continue returning to the private room.
Honestly, having worked at the Mo Group for four or five years, he watched it grow from an ordinary investment company into a leader in the investment field today.
As the head of the business department, he was long accustomed to Mr. Xiao’s workaholic pace and his approach of welcoming all comers at social events.
However, as a subordinate, he was somewhat aware of the gossip about his boss.
It was said that due to gastric bleeding, he had visited the hospital twice recently, and logically, he should be cautious about moderate drinking, but now…
Is it worth the struggle?
Even yesterday, he suddenly convened a meeting with all senior executives of the company to establish a “new five-year” plan and then announced to the outside world: Mo Group is officially commencing its plan to explore overseas markets.
The Mo Group mainly focuses on investments, and over the years, the projects they have invested in span various industries and sectors, making it a leading giant in the domestic investment field.
The company has already developed very rapidly, especially since it recently signed a formal strategic cooperation agreement with the Zhou Family.
In Nancheng, Zhou Family emphasized the industrial economy, and Mo Family, having been involved in Zhou Family’s plans for the next few years, saw a bright financial future ahead, needing only to maintain good relationships and wait for the annual dividends to earn money.
Announcing a move into the overseas market at this time?
It’s not necessarily a bad idea, but from his perspective, shouldn’t there be more focus on family?
Recently in Nancheng’s business circles, anyone who paid attention to business news knew that the old Mr. Mo had been frequently rushed to the hospital, his days were numbered, Chairman Mo Yaoxiong had neither real authority nor capacity, having ceded all control to President Xiao several years ago, and Mo Family’s only Little Princess was currently pregnant and awaiting childbirth.
Pregnant women are emotionally unstable and often become overly sentimental. If President Xiao was wise, he would have spent more time at home with his wife, fostering marital affection, which would also benefit him when he formally took over the company, rather than working and networking tirelessly every day…
However, these remarks could only be discussed privately by some senior executives during leisurely conversations; in front of President Xiao, no one dared raise any doubts.
Moreover, in the realm of business investments, President Xiao was seen as a barometer; he was always perceptive, cool-headed, and keen…
Suddenly, a cellphone ringtone blared.
President Xu came to his senses and quickly reminded him, “President Xiao, your phone is ringing.”
Xiao Yebai stopped walking, pulled out his phone to look, and then answered, “Aunt Zhou.”
The man leaned against the wall in the corridor with his eyes half-closed, his eyebrows knotted, his eyes hazy and dispersed from drunkenness.
Whatever was said on the other end of the phone suddenly deepened his furrowed brow, but the eyes behind the glasses regained clarity instantly, his voice calm, “Have you called the doctor? Is everyone all right?”
President Xu immediately perked up his ears.
A doctor?
Could it be that Old Mr. Mo had some trouble?
Indeed.
“Have the doctor check immediately, I’ll be right there.”
After speaking, Xiao Yebai hung up the phone.
President Xu asked anxiously, “President Xiao, what happened?”
Xiao Yebai frowned in thought
After about five seconds, he lifted his head and calmly instructed, “There’s a problem at home, I need to leave first.”
“Ah? But…”
Before President Xu could finish, Xiao Yebai had already left.
President Xu stood there, speechless.
It seemed likely that Old Mr. Mo had encountered an issue, but leaving without a word… wasn’t that a bit inappropriate?
**
Half an hour later, Xiao Yebai had arrived at the hospital.
Upon entering the ward, he saw doctors, nurses, and several people gathered around the bedside.
Aunt Zhou hurried over, “Young Master Xiao, you’re finally here…”
“What happened?”
Hearing his voice, the doctors and nurses all turned to look at him.
The man wore a neatly ironed dark shirt and trousers, with sophisticated black-framed glasses. He looked impeccable but reeked of alcohol, his sleeves half rolled up, clearly having come directly from a drinking session.
The doctor hurriedly explained, “We’re still unclear about the specific cause, and since the patient is pregnant, we daren’t administer medication without family consent… But I’ve just done a preliminary check on her, and so far, there’s no sign of any danger, it might… just be a temporary faint.”
Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, “My wife is hospitalized here, why would she faint for no reason? And it was a maid who found her first, what were you doctors and nurses doing?”
A nurse couldn’t help but explain, “Mrs. Xiao told us she wanted to watch a movie and asked us not to disturb her…”
“Enough,” the doctor interrupted her, then began to apologize, “I’m sorry, this is a lapse in our duty. President Xiao, rest assured, I’ve already sent someone to check the surveillance footage, we’ll get to the bottom of this.”
Aunt Zhou also said, “Young Master Xiao, I went back to cook at 10 o’clock and only discovered the princess had fainted when I came over. She wouldn’t wake up no matter how I called, and I was really worried, so I called you.”
Xiao Yebai walked over.
The doctors and nurses quickly made space for him to reach the bedside.
Mo Weiyi lay on the hospital bed, her eyes closed, appearing to be asleep.
With so many people talking here, the room all in disarray, she still didn’t show any reaction.
“President Xiao,” the doctor cautiously asked, “If you agree, I can use medicine to wake her up right away.”
His slender, bony fingers cautiously explored under Mo Weiyi’s nose.
Then, Xiao Yebai methodically arranged, “Aunt Zhou, you stay here and watch over Weiyi.”
“Okay,” Aunt Zhou hurriedly agreed.
“Doctor Wang, lead me to the surveillance room.”
“Okay,” Doctor Wang could only agree, “President Xiao, this way please.”
**
Half an hour later.
Repair workers were called over by an emergency phone call, and several ladders were set up in the corridor of the 22nd floor of the inpatient section.
After inspection, the technician quickly concluded, “The data cables of these surveillance cameras have all been cut.”
“…” Dr. Wang’s face changed instantly.
He had just taken Xiao Yebai to the surveillance room and realized that the surveillance on the 22nd-floor corridor had been down for over an hour.
The staff responsible for surveillance honestly admitted that they had already called for repairs, but since it usually took the technicians several hours to arrive, they hadn’t paid much attention to it, not expecting…
On the corridor, the atmosphere was tense.
Xiao Yebai stood there, squinting towards the end of the corridor with tightly pursed lips, seemingly deep in thought, and didn’t say a word for a long time.
Nobody else dared to speak.
This situation wasn’t that serious, but since Mo Weiyi still hadn’t awakened, if President Xiao decided to carry out a thorough investigation, no one in the hospital would be able to escape…
“Mr. Xiao.”
Zhou Auntie suddenly rushed out of the ward, “The princess, she’s awake!”
The man’s tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and then he walked toward the ward.
A group of people stood there, exchanging looks.
So what was the situation now?
Was the crisis averted?
**
Room 2202.
Mo Weiyi sat on the hospital bed, slightly frowning, her face blank, seemingly still a bit groggy.
Not until the tall and stern man entered the room…
did she immediately avert her gaze, “Aunt Zhou, I’m hungry.”
Aunt Zhou hurried in to prepare.
She took the food out of the warming box and placed each item on the small table.
“Princess, are you all right?”
“I’m fine.”
“But earlier, no matter how much we called, we couldn’t wake you up; it was really scary.”
Pushing the table in front of Mo Weiyi, Aunt Zhou added, “Mr. Xiao was especially worried about you. He came right away as soon as he received the call.”
“Aunt Zhou, feed me please.”
Aunt Zhou glanced at Xiao Yebai, then could only nod, “…Okay.”
She sat down beside the bed and just as she picked up the utensils…
“Wait.” Xiao Yebai’s deep voice suddenly sounded.
Aunt Zhou stopped her movements.
Mo Weiyi, just as she was about to open her mouth, was interrupted, showing some discontent.
“What do you want?”
Xiao Yebai said, “I have something to ask you…”
“I want to eat first!” Mo Weiyi interrupted him.
“Ask after you eat.” Xiao Yebai was assertive in his tone.
Mo Weiyi bit her lip, “Why won’t you let me eat? I’m hungry…”
“Aunt Zhou, please step outside.”
Aunt Zhou immediately stood up, “Okay.”
Mo Weiyi became frantic, “Aunt Zhou, you mustn’t leave!”
Aunt Zhou, caught in a dilemma, responded, “Princess, Mr. Xiao is just concerned about you… I’ll step outside for now,”
and after saying that, she hurried out and even shut the door behind her.
Mo Weiyi glared fiercely with her beautiful cat-like eyes at the man standing in front of the hospital bed, “Xiao Yebai, are you insane? Isn’t your company busy? Hurry back and attend to your business!”
“I’m asking you,” Xiao Yebai quickly questioned her, “Who visited the ward earlier?”
“No one,” Mo Weiyi answered even more swiftly.
Xiao Yebai: “…”
There was a brief silence in the hospital room.
“Are you done asking? If so, please leave quickly, I need to eat!”
“Mo Weiyi.” Xiao Yebai looked at her, “You just fainted out of nowhere…”
“I was just tired.” Mo Weiyi interrupted him again, “Can’t you stop making a big deal out of it?”
“Aunt Zhou said she couldn’t wake you up.”
Mo Weiyi clenched her fingers, “What are you trying to say exactly?”
“Who drank the beverage on the coffee table?”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Watching her rapidly changing expressions, Xiao Yebai stressed his tone, “You had better tell the truth, or I will have the doctor come over to examine you…”
“Are you annoying!” Mo Weiyi suddenly slapped the mattress, “I’ve said I was too tired, is it not okay that I slept deeply?”
Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes, “Mo Weiyi…”
“Aunt Zhou! Aunt Zhou!”
The door was opened, and Aunt Zhou entered, “Princess, what’s wrong?”
Mo Weiyi shouted forcefully, “I want to eat!”
Aunt Zhou: “…”
She looked at Xiao Yebai, and could only cautiously say, “Young Master Xiao, maybe let the princess eat first. It’s already past twelve, if she doesn’t eat now, the food will get cold…”
Xiao Yebai left with a cold face.
“Crazy.”
Hearing these three words, the man who had reached the doorway suddenly stopped, then turned around.
Mo Weiyi was not the least bit intimidated, “Aunt Zhou, hurry and feed me.”
Aunt Zhou, “…okay.”
Just as she picked up the chopsticks…
The door was knocked.
“Princess, Young Master Xiao.”
It was Rong An.
Xiao Yebai turned his gaze back to Rong An, “Rong An, stay here these next few days, don’t leave her side.”
Rong An nodded, “Okay.”
But Mo Weiyi spoke again, “Rong An is my bodyguard. What right do you have to order him around?”
Rong An: “…”
Xiao Yebai’s expression turned stern, “If anything happens to you, he’ll be the first to be punished.”
“Punished?” Mo Weiyi laughed, “Who would punish him? Are you talking about… Grandpa?”
Before Xiao Yebai could speak.
“Grandpa won’t even see me now. You bringing this up is somewhat ridiculous, don’t you think?” Then, Mo Wei deliberately asked, “Rong An, are the tickets ready?”
Rong An: “Booked, tomorrow morning at nine o’clock. We should arrive in Kyoto around twelve-thirty.”
As expected, Xiao Yebai asked, “You are going to Kyoto?”
Mo Weiyi nodded, “Yes, what about it?”
“Mo Weiyi, must you be dissatisfied until you see the Huang He?”
“What does it have to do with you?” Mo Weiyi held her chin high, “Besides, whether I see the Huang He or not, what concern is it of yours? What right do you have to tell me anything?”
After saying this.
“Aunt Zhou, see the guest out!”
Aunt Zhou, holding the bowls and chopsticks, looked helplessly at the two of them.
“Aunt Zhou?” Mo Weiyi urged, “Didn’t you hear me tell you to see the guest out?”
Aunt Zhou had no choice but to put down the bowls and chopsticks again, just as she stood up…
“Rong An.” Xiao Yebai’s voice deepened, “Come out with me for a moment.”
Little did he know…
“Don’t go!”
Rong An: “…”
Xiao Yebai didn’t insist any longer. He looked at the woman who had always been contradicting him, “Mo Weiyi, do you really have to oppose me in everything?”
“Yes!” Mo Weiyi looked at him intently, her voice strong and resolute.
“You really want to go to Kyoto?”
“Yes!” Mo Weiyi continued.
“Fine.” Xiao Yebai nodded.
Having said that, he turned around and left.
The door was violently slammed shut.
It made a loud “bang”.
It was as if he was deliberately showing how angry he was.
Even if Mo Weiyi was mentally prepared, the sound still caught her off guard…
She touched her chest, but couldn’t help but curse, “Crazy!”
“Princess, what exactly happened?” Rong An asked.
Although there had been ongoing disputes over the divorce since the birthday banquet, hadn’t the signing of the divorce papers ended everything between the princess and Young Master Xiao permanently?
Lately, Mo Weiyi hadn’t been losing her temper at Xiao Yebai willy-nilly, and Xiao Yebai had reverted to his usual cold and ruthless demeanor.
Their recent interactions had been calm, even under the same roof they coexisted without issue, so why today?
Mo Weiyi said, “He had a meltdown; just ignore him.”
Rong An: “…”
Alright then.
**
After lunch, Mo Weiyi instructed, “Aunt Zhou, please help me with the discharge procedures.”
“Okay.”
Aunt Zhou was somewhat surprised.
Actually, the princess’s health was no longer a big concern, and in her view, the insistence on staying in the hospital was just to avoid Young Master Xiao.
But Young Master Xiao cared so much about the princess; knowing that she was in trouble, he came over reeking of alcohol…
After Aunt Zhou left, Mo Weiyi took out her phone, opened her contacts, scrolled down, and found the name “Ling Zhizhou.”
After hesitating for a moment, she pressed “Call”.
“Beep… beep… beep…”
The phone rang for a long time without an answer.
Mo Weiyi’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and just as she decided to give up, the call suddenly connected.
“Hello.”
Ling Zhizhou’s voice came through clearly.
Mo Weiyi inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, “Ling Zhizhou?”
“Senior sister, it’s me, what’s up?” Ling Zhizhou’s voice was normal, as always pleasant and clear.
Mo Weiyi asked him, “When you came to see me just now, did I suddenly fall asleep?”
“Yes, you were probably too tired, I saw you sleeping, so I left on my own.”
“Is that so?”
Her gaze swept indistinctly across the table nearby, “But didn’t you say you brought flowers for me? Why are the flowers gone?”
“A nurse came in earlier, saying that you are pregnant now, and it’s not good for you to smell such strong fragrances. I was worried it might affect your health, so I took the flowers away,” Ling Zhizhou chuckled, “It’s my fault, I didn’t know there were so many precautions when a woman is pregnant. Next time, I’ll bring you fruit instead.”
Mo Weiyi nodded, “No need, I’m being discharged today.”
“That soon? It seems your health is really no big concern, congratulations.”
…
After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi sat there, tilting her head, deeply furrowing her brows for a long time.
She felt like something wasn’t quite right.
Ling Zhizhou hadn’t been there long, but she felt unusually sleepy, and then fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
When she woke up, Ling Zhizhou had already left, and no one knew he had come to visit her, especially since the lilies were also taken away.
But she also knew that Xiao Yebai disliked Ling Zhizhou, almost irrationally so… thus she still didn’t mention anything about it.
After all, she was alright now, wasn’t she?
