Chapter 448: 448, Xiaobai VS Boss Huo

Back then, right after she got admitted to Nancheng University, Su Wanwan went to study abroad in Los Angeles, and Mo Weiyi spent the entire summer break here, supervising the decoration details.

So, the entire villa was decorated according to her preferences, including the furniture and decoration, all in her style.

The colors were all bright, leaning towards a tender pink hue, it looked very cozy and also unmistakably youthful.

Xiao Yebai dried his hair, sat down on the sofa, and picked up his tablet.

After reviewing a few reports, he picked up his phone and dialed a number again.

“I’m sorry, but the phone you dialed is off.” Same mechanical female voice responding.

And it was already nine o’clock at night.

A subtle emotion began to brew beneath the man’s profound eyes.

He put his phone down and picked up the tablet beside him again.

As the time ticked away second by second, it was quiet inside the room.

Less than a minute later, he suddenly got up, grabbed his car keys, and left with large strides.

Upon entering the Mo Family’s old house, Shi Bo was startled.

“Young Master Xiao? How come you are back so late?”

Xiao Yebai asked, “Has Weiyi returned?”

“No.” Shi Bo was even more scared. He looked at the man’s calm and handsome face, “Did something happen to the princess? She hasn’t returned yet, should I arrange people immediately…”

“No need.” Xiao Yebai’s tone was calm. “Do not disturb the old master.”

“But the princess…”

“I am going to find her now.”

“Oh…”

Watching the man hurriedly leave, Shi Bo’s eyebrows inadvertently knitted into a frown.

The princess hasn’t returned home at such a late hour? Are they having a disagreement?

…

Xiao Yebai had just opened the car door when a voice suddenly rang out behind him.

“Yebai.”

Xiao Yebai turned around.

Under the streetlight, Xu Jing, who was wearing a white cotton outfit, seemed rather uneasy as she looked at him, “Can I have a word with you?”

“Afraid it’s not convenient.” His voice was low and cold.

Yet Xu Jing took a step forward, “I’m sorry, I just found out too.”

“Found out what?”

“I never expected that Yunyao would harbor such feelings for you.”

“What do you mean?” Xiao Yebai’s reaction was as if he had no idea.

But Xu Jing felt that he was just pretending.

Even though the old master Mo said the same thing, if a woman harbors such feelings for a man, how can he be completely unaware?

She hadn’t had much interaction with Xiao Yebai, but she knew that with his exceptional intelligence and profound thinking, for such a young man to excel in the Mo Family and have many elders pledge allegiance to him within two years of taking up the position, he was more than just highly intelligent, he was scary.

Xu Jing felt panicked inside, yet her face remained sincere, “In any case, this is Yunyao’s delusion. She had thoughts that she shouldn’t have, which is bound to lead to no good. She has received her lesson and won’t stay in Nancheng anymore. As her mother, I feel guilty and came specifically to apologize to you.”

“Are you done?” Xiao Yebai looked at her.

Xu Jing nodded.

Xiao Yebai didn’t say another word, opened the car door, and quickly drove away.

In the night, Xu Jing stood there for a long time before she finally left slowly.

Imperial Court Villa

After Su Wanwan came out of the shower and was applying her toner, her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the name on the screen – “Scumbag Xiaobai”.

Su Wanwan puckered her lips, her teeth itching in irritation.

mmp.

What on earth is the time?

The wife has been missing for half a day, and now he just realized to call and ask?

She had saved Xiao Yebai’s number several years ago under Mo Weiyi’s insistence, claiming that as best friends, she must have her boyfriend’s number in case of emergencies.

Over the years, while she has frequently called him due to issues with Mo Weiyi, Xiao Yebai has never called her once.

In other words, this was the first time she received a call from him in those years.

Wow, such a novelty.

She glanced at Mo Weiyi. She was lying on the bed, eyes closed, her cheeks red. After drinking honey water, she had fallen asleep.

So, Su Wanwan promptly silenced her phone and set it aside.

She would not answer!

Let it worry you!

The screen lit up then went dark, dark then light.

Su Wanwan even found her charger and plugged it in.

It’s just that half an hour later, the screen did not light up again.

Hehe.

Su Wanwan muttered to herself with sarcasm, seems like a man’s patience was just that.

She lay on the bed, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

After a day of classes, shopping, and a visit to the club, Su Wanwan fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

And she slept soundly.

After an unknown length of time, it seemed like there was some noise. Su Wanwan wanted to open her eyes in hazy confusion, but it felt like her ears were covered, and thatnoise disappeared.

She turned her head and snuggled into a familiar warm embrace, and fell back into a deep sleep.

…

The violet down comforter was pulled back, Huo Jingshen covered Su Wanwan’s ears, narrowed his eyes, and watched the cold, silent man wrap Mo Weiyi, who was only wearing a thin nightdress, in his jacket, and simply lifted her up in his arms.

His movements were not gentle, but because Mo Weiyi was already drunk and asleep, she mumbled a few words with her face scrunched up, then buried herself in his chest without responding.

“Thank you.”

Hearing this, Huo Jingshen’s thin lips curled up, “Likewise.”

Xiao Yebai: “…”

He nodded slightly, quickly picked up the unconscious woman, and left.
