Chapter 782: 782, let’s go home.
Upon hearing those words, Mo Weiyi bowed her head.
Her long, curled hair cascaded down, almost entirely covering her face, with just the tip of her small, pointed nose showing.
She looked crestfallen, yet her docility was particularly pitiable.
“Shall we go home?” His slender, handsome fingers gently rested on her chin, lifting her face.
The eyes behind his glasses carefully examined her expression. His voice gentle as if to soothe her, “Your makeup is all smudged from the crying.”
Mo Weiyi closed her eyes.
...
She forced herself to suppress the shivers on her skin, the profound revulsion deep within her heart. It took a while before she reluctantly squeezed out a word, “Mhm.”
“Good girl.” Xiao Yebai curled his lips into a smile.
His eyes trailed down as his thumb grazed her red lips.
Her skin was pale, carrying a natural hint of precious fragility. Her face flushed red from crying, and her lips were swollen from being bitten.
They bore the shade of blood, possessing an odd allure.
Finally, he couldn’t resist bending down to kiss her.
Mo Weiyi quickly tried to turn her face away, but this time, he anticipated it. He tightly gripped her chin, pressing his thin lips onto hers, kissing her deeply.

After an unknown period, the door to the hospital room finally opened.
The man standing in the hall immediately looked over.
Xiao Yebai was the first to walk out.
Not much different from earlier, his shirt was unbuttoned, its cuffs rolled up, exhibiting his usual refined elegance.
He held Mo Weiyi’s hand, pulling her out of the hospital room.
Upon seeing Mo Weiyi’s evidently swollen eyes, lips and her tattered evening dress…
Rong An stepped forward, “Princess.”
Mo Weiyi looked at him, her voice a bit hoarse, “Rong An, go handle the discharge process, then follow us with your car.”
Rong An had a complex expression, but still, he nodded in agreement, “Understood, Princess.”
Before leaving, he glanced at Xiao Yebai.
The latter maintained an indifferent expression, not uttering a word, simply holding Mo Weiyi’s hand as they left.

Arriving at the underground car park.
Xiao Yebai just pulled open the car’s passenger door…
“I’ll sit in the back,” Mo Weiyi said, “I’m feeling a bit dizzy.”
Xiao Yebai closed the car door, then went to open the back door, “Is it just dizziness?”
Mo Weiyi merely hummed an acknowledgment, quickly getting in.
As soon as the car door closed, she instinctively reached out to touch her stomach.
By the time Xiao Yebai got into the driver’s seat, Mo Weiyi was already checking her phone.
The car slowly drove out of the hospital’s entrance. Interior silence prevailed.
Mo Weiyi was messaging Su Wanwan.
But after typing a long message, she deleted it all.
After a while, she opened her phone’s browser and typed a few words, “Precautions during early pregnancy.”
Xiao Yebai stopped the car at the red lights.
His dark, cold gaze rose, looking into the rear-view mirror.
In the back seat, Mo Weiyi sat hunched over, holding her phone.
Not knowing what she was so engrossed in, she remained engrossed for nearly a minute of the red light. Xiao Yebai watched her through the mirror the whole time, she didn’t react, simply kept her head down staring at the phone screen.
Just as the lights turned green, Xiao Yebai shifted his gaze away and began to drive out. Then, his phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID displayed on the screen, he squinted his eyes before connecting the call through his Bluetooth headset.
“Yebai, I’ve procured the stillborn fetus Xu Jing gave birth to. Rest assured, the test results will be available in three hours at the latest,” said the voice on the other end.
Xiao Yebai didn’t reply.
“What’s wrong?” Zhan Yao asked him.
His reaction seemed somewhat off.
Xiao Yebai responded blandly, “Nothing.”
“Are you upset with the little princess? Isn’t it because she doesn’t believe that you didn’t sleep with Tian Ye? Or did you never explain?”
Zhan Yao clicked his tongue, “It must be that you didn’t initiate the explanation, Yebai, that’s where you’re wrong. In such matters, involving your own integrity, only your own words can put her at ease. If you don’t say anything, the little princess will think that you have done it with her and her tantrum is justified. How about this, I’ll have Dazhuang immediately send the photos he took to the little princess. Once she sees the photos, she shouldn’t continue to misunderstand you.”
After saying all this, Zhan Yao’s tone became more serious, “However, I must warn you, regarding Xu Jing, it would be best if you pretended to be completely ignorant of the entire issue. If the princess becomes suspicious, just say that I instructed Dazhuang, that I’m the mastermind behind everything.”
Faced with his friend’s earnestness, Xiao Yebai’s response remained cold, “It has nothing to do with you.”
Zhan Yao suddenly sighed, “Actually, I get why the little princess is upset, and I owe her too. Just think about it, having your own father involved with your aunt, and your grandfather, who once doted on you the most, deliberately keeping the truth from you… so, if she gets angry with me, I’ll accept it. However, you absolutely can’t admit that you were involved. She’s already finding it difficult to accept this, if she finds out you also chose to use her, I fear she might lose it. So, the best approach now is for you to not admit to being involved. The little princess will likely only be upset temporarily. She trusts you so much, if you pacify her well, things should return to the way they were after a few days…”
Zhan Yao continued speaking at length, but Xiao Yebai barely responded, just quietly listening.
The call lasted for almost half an hour.
Meanwhile, the woman in the backseat, attentively looking at her phone, seemed to completely ignore his ongoing call.
What do you think?
