My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 755: 755, recalling past events

Mo Weiyi, after taking a shower, came out to find Xiao Yebai reading on the bedside.

The man was wearing a comfortable, casual, dark-colored robe, spectacles perched on the bridge of his nose, his slender fair fingers gripping the book. His appearance was refined and elegant.

Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and sat down at the dressing table, beginning her own skincare routine.

The room was very quiet.

A quietness that felt somewhat eerie.

Mo Weiyi remained silent, and so did Xiao Yebai, as if they had both decided to do so.

...

About half an hour later, Mo Weiyi patted her face and got up, walking over to the bedside.

As she pulled back the thin blanket, she turned off all the lights in the room, leaving only one desk lamp for him.

No sooner had she settled herself down than “pop”, Xiao Yebai reached out to turn off that desk lamp too.

After a rustling sound, a warm, distinctly masculine fragrance unique to Xiao Yebai wafted towards her.

Her soft, gentle voice emerged from the darkness, “I’m a bit tired today.”

Lately… Xiao Yebai has been a bit off.

He had never shown this kind of initiative and passion before.

But Mo Weiyi didn’t want to take the pill, and Doctor Pu had said her health condition might make it hard for her to conceive.

If she truly wants to have a child in the future, she can’t keep relying on such medication and risk potential harm.

Xiao Yebai used to be very careful, always remembering to take precautions every time, and if he happened to forget, he would personally prepare the necessary medication for her the next day.

But not these past few days.

So when Xiao Yebai grabbed her chin and turned her face towards him, Mo Weiyi blurted out, “Can’t you consider me for once? I told you I’m tired today, I don’t want to.”

The man immediately tensed up.

She couldn’t see his expression in the darkness, but Mo Weiyi knew.

It was definitely not a happy one.

The oppressive atmosphere was too obvious, as if the air in the entire room had instantly solidified.

Mo Weiyi blinked, trying to explain, “I don’t want to take the pill. The doctor says it’s bad for my health and will leave after-effects that could affect fertility in the future.”

Upon hearing her words, Xiao Yebai’s voice resonated quietly in the dark, “Don’t you want to get pregnant?”

Mo Weiyi was taken aback.

Yes, she did want to get pregnant, but…

That was all before.

She had even made a bet with Xiao Yebai that she would rank in the top ten in English class just so she could successfully conceive.

But after striving for two months, she ended up in eleventh place.

She felt… somewhat toyed with by fate.

Perhaps for this reason, Mo Weiyi’s feelings towards having a child had waned, especially with all that has happened with Tian Ye, she didn’t have the mindset to consider it anymore.

She said, “I suddenly don’t want to get pregnant anymore.”

“Why?”

“I think you’re right. I’m still young and my studies are important. There’s plenty of time for babies in the future, so I’ll listen to you.”

Xiao Yebai didn’t respond, he merely let go of her and lay down next to her.

Quietness resumed in the bedroom.

Mo Weiyi stared at the pitch-black ceiling, listening to the faint rustling sound of breathing next to her ear, then she abruptly spoke, “Xiaobai.”

“Hmm.”

“Can you tell me about your study abroad experience?”

“What about it?”

The man’s voice was low and flat.

No discernible emotions could be made out.

It was as if nothing had happened just a moment before.

Mo Weiyi proposed, “You studied abroad for five years. Must have had a lot of fun, right? Just tell me a few things at random, I want to hear.”

“It wasn’t fun.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

“Didn’t you have a few schoolmates from Nancheng?” she probed tactfully. “Zhan Yao, Tian Ye, and that… Ye Bei. You all were in the same year. Spending five years together, there must have been some fun moments.”

“There were not.”

Mo Weiyi continued: “…”

“Why do you ask all of a sudden?” Xiao Yebai countered.

Mo Weiyi thought for a moment before responding. “I suddenly remembered when I came to meet you abroad. Do you still remember that?”

“I do.”

Xiao Yebai certainly remembers.

It was his second year of studying abroad in Seattle.

Because he wanted to finish his studies as soon as possible, he immersed himself in his studies in America, not returning home during the first year.

Mo Weiyi managed to obtain his phone number at the American Institute from Old Mr. Mo, but every time she called, Xiao Yebai was either in class, studying, or working part-time.

He hung up after a few short sentences.

From the moment Mo Weiyi saw Xiao Yebai at the Mo family when she was ten years old, she liked to cling to him every day.

Except for class time, the two were pretty much always together.

But since he went to study in America, she couldn’t see him, and even calling him was like this. How could Mo Weiyi bear this?

So, in the second year, she made arrangements early. She secretly took her household registration, let Rong An take her to apply for a U.S. visa, bought a plane ticket, and even had Su Wanwan and Rong An help her keep it a secret. Finally, she got on a plane to Seattle.

She was only fourteen that year.

And it was her first time going abroad.

Alone.

Xiao Yebai still remembers, it was a late September day, right after dinner, when his phone suddenly rang.

As soon as he answered, a series of standard American English, a rough voice on the other end asked, “Excuse me, is this Mr. Xiao Yebai? We’re calling from the 89th police station in ** district. Do you recognize a little girl named Mo Weiyi?”

Xiao Yebai was taken aback.

“Sir? Mr. Xiao?”

“I’m here.”

“Do you know a little girl named Mo Weiyi? She says you’re her boyfriend, I was wondering…”

“I know her.” Xiao Yebai interrupted, “Tell me your exact address.”

“Alright, ** district, ** Road, 89th police station.”

…

It was cold in Seattle in September. Xiao Yebai took a taxi, and when he arrived at the police station, it was already past eight in the evening.

Since the Mo family hadn’t called, he guessed that Mo Weiyi must have sneaked over on her own.

Something he hadn’t seen coming at all. @@novelbin@@

Mo Weiyi, pampered since childhood, had been kidnapped when she was very young. With the Mo family being involved in underworld dealings and with many enemies, she always had to be accompanied by a large number of bodyguards and servants whenever she went out to prevent any accidents.

And if the Mo family learned she had sneaked to Seattle, the only one they would blame was Xiao Yebai.

…

The streetlights were lonely.

Xiao Yebai entered the police station and spotted Mo Weiyi in the office.

A fourteen-year-old girl, as she was a late bloomer, her height was just over 1.3 meters, making her look like a ten-year-old child.

She was still wearing her high school uniform. A white shirt, navy blue knitted vest, and red checkered skirt, revealing her straight legs covered in white socks.

At nineteen, Xiao Yebai was already 1.88 meters tall.

So, when Mo Weiyi rushed into his arms, she was only up to his waist, like a… dwarf.

She raised her head.

Her lovely face was smeared with dust. She frowned, pursed her lips, and her whole being looked utterly wronged. “Yebai, why are you only coming now?”

Foreigners were open-minded, and the police officers, unfazed by the young couple, didn’t find anything strange about this scene.

But Xiao Yebai immediately pulled her away from his side. “How did you get here?”

Mo Weiyi quickly clung back to him. Her soft little hands held on to his sleeves, her young voice innocent and naive. “I missed you, so I came to find you.”

The nineteen-year-old boy’s expressions plainly showed his irritation. “Does your family know?”

“They don’t.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yebai’s brow furrowed tighter.

He lowered his head, pulled out his phone from his pocket, ready to call home.

“Yebai, don’t make the call!”

His finger was tightly gripped. “I sneaked over, if my mother finds out, she’ll kill me.”

The Mo family loved this little princess dearly. The one she feared the most was her strict mother, Xu Xian.

“If anything happens to you, she’ll blame me.”

“But nothing happened to me! Just that my wallet got stolen.” Mo Weiyi was a bit guilty.

She was really careful already. She followed the route Rong An planned for her – once she got off the plane, she took a taxi to find Yebai.

But when she wanted to pay her fare, she noticed that someone had sliced her backpack open and both her phone and wallet were gone.

Luckily, she remembered Xiao Yebai’s phone number by heart. Thanks to her good looks, the police officers were patient with her. They got Xiao Yebai to come pick her up using the phone number she provided!

At this moment, looking at Xiao Yebai’s handsome and refined appearance, even though he showed signs of irritation, Mo Weiyi’s happiness outweighed everything else. She didn’t know if it was because they hadn’t seen each other for a year, but she felt that Yebai had grown taller and looked handsome and charming, even with his poker face.
