Xiao Yebai didn’t say anything; he just walked towards the sickroom.
Zhan Yao quickly stepped forward, blocking his path, “Yebai, is the Little Princess alright?”
Xiao Yebai gave him a bland look.
Zhan Yao laughed awkwardly, “That bodyguard of the Little Princess is really remarkable, he broke Tian Ye’s ribs with one kick, and her lower back is severely swollen, almost damaging her organs. The doctor said the attack was too savager. If Tian Ye wishes, she could charge him with intentional assault…”
“Are you pleading on her behalf…” Xiao Yebai’s tone was flat, “or warning me?”
Zhan Yao laughed, not denying, “I just feel that Tian Ye had a really bad night, after all, we are acquaintances, her only fault was liking you too much, but now she’s badly injured and taken by the man she despised most, and ultimately, if the Little Princess hadn’t first given her that aphrodisiac, Tian Ye would not have intentionally told the Little Princess those misleading words…”
He choked on the rest of the words under the man’s gaze.
Damn, what’s up with this guy’s attitude?
“When will the test results come out?” Xiao Yebai asked in a flat tone.
“It will take another hour and a half,” Zhan Yao replied.
“Then go wait in the lab.” Xiao Yebai instructed and walked around him towards the sickroom.
Zhan Yao was just about able to control his facial muscles.
Was he being directly asked to roll?
The night was dark and windy, a single man and a single woman, especially Tian Ye, was seriously injured, weak, and helpless…
“Yebai.”
As expected, he couldn’t hold back; Zhan Yao reluctantly reminded, “Though I also believe that Tian Ye had a rough time, after tonight’s events, the one who probably needs your comfort the most is not Tian Ye, but the Little Princess. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”
Xiao Yebai halted for a moment.
The next second, he pushed the door open and walked in.
**
In the sickroom.
The IV drip was working drop by drop, the woman on the bed was bound with a complex waist brace, her brows knitted together, and her face was pale.
But when she heard the door opening.
“Yebai!”
Tian Ye, whose expression had been gloomy, lit up instantly; she tried to get up but it roused her waist injury, making her hiss with pain.
Xiao Yebai closed the door, then stood over her towering at the bedside.
Tian Ye bit her lip, waiting for the pain to subside.
Looking at the man’s cold face, she asked softly, “I’m a bit thirsty, Yebai, can you pour me a glass of water?”
Xiao Yebai stood still, his face exceptionally cold, his voice indifferent, “Fifteen years ago at Jiaozhi train station, a significant human trafficking case took place.”
Tian Ye widened her eyes slightly, “What are you talking about?”
What about fifteen years ago?
What’s Jiaozhi train station?
What the hell does human trafficking mean?
Xiao Yebai uttered indifferently, “You don’t remember.”
A sentence without a subject only added to the mystery.
Tian Ye didn’t understand at all, she looked at Xiao Yebai, wanting to talk about tonight’s incident, “Yebai, it was Mo Weiyi who captured me and took me to that room, she also fed me the aphrodisiac, then she sent you in, all of this was arranged and planned by her, why did she do all this, don’t you understand until now?”
The man’s expression remained cold and indifferent.
She couldn’t figure out his thoughts, but was certain that his mood could not have been good after tonight’s incident.
She knew Xiao Yebai all too well, due to his unique upbringing, he was smart, powerful, and meticulous. At his core, he was tremendously arrogant, and although he had a strong sense of self-esteem, he also carried an incredibly sensitive inferiority complex.
It might sound harsh, but he was nothing more than a pet bought by the Mo Family for 5 million yuan as a gift for their Little Princess.
Over the years, the reason he received the best education in the Mo Family, and was addressed as Master Xiao, and even managed to achieve his current position in the Mo Family, all of this was based on Mo Weiyi’s unique infatuation with him.
But this kind of infatuation ultimately was a fleeting illusion.
No matter how much you like something, after a decade of infatuation, once the passion has subsided, it’s no longer fresh.
Just tonight, Mo Weiyi’s behavior made it clear that she was ready to let go of Xiao Yebai, in her eyes, he was ultimately just a broken toy.
Now that the toy has fallen out of favour, being abandoned, he must not be able to accept it in his heart.
The more indifferent and unfeeling the man appears on the surface, the more sensitive and caring he usually is deep down.
“Yebai, you shouldn’t tolerate Mo Weiyi anymore, she could gift you to me today, and gift you to another woman tomorrow, she doesn’t love you at all, she just sees you as a toy! But you are different in my heart,” Tian Ye said with an excited tone, “You are talented and capable, I believe even if you were to leave the Mo family, you would quickly rise again, building your own business empire… Do you remember, when you graduated and returned to China, how many Wall Street investors invited you to stay and collaborate with them?”
Looking at the man’s still indifferent expression, Tian Ye’s voice gradually softened, “Yebai, don’t you trust in your own abilities?”
Xiao Yebai finally reacted.
“Tian Ye, you really don’t understand me at all.” He raised his lean bony hand and took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
“Do you know why I helped arrange for your mother to be hospitalized and helped you find a new place to live?”
A pair of dark, cold peach blossom eyes, without the cover of their glasses, were very beautiful, but also very cold.
Frosty cold.
Absolutely void of any warmth.
Just like tonight in the suite, when she was tormented by the drug and felt so awful, she pleaded with him, begging him to save her…
His gaze at that time was just like this.
Tian Ye felt lost and confused, even a little uneasy.
She opened her mouth and after a long pause, she finally asked, “Why?”
“Fifteen years ago, your mother unintentionally saved my life. Even though she’s lost many memories due to her mental illness, I still remember. That’s why in the research institute, you were the only woman allowed around me. All this time, you might have assumed it was because you once helped me. But it was not.”
When Xiao Yebai said this, his tone remained even, but Tian Ye’s face turned deathly pale instantly.
It felt as if her heart had been hollowed out all of a sudden, and she herself was falling into the abyss…
As a woman, how could she not sense whether a man truly harbors certain feelings for her?
But because she was the only woman who could approach him in the research institute, and because there was an incident in their second year when some foreigners bullied Xiao Yebai and she immediately called the dean’s office…
This was why for all these years, she had been deceiving herself by saying Xiao Yebai treated her differently than he did other women. They shared memories unknown to any other woman, even Mo Weiyi…
Tian Ye looked at him, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
The man’s voice echoed again, icy and heterogenous. “I knew about the problem with your house, that you had nowhere to live, and I knew that you were in a restless mood, so I lent you Yiyun Villa to live in. Later, you gave the key to the villa to Weiyi and deliberately left only the key to the study, with the intention of letting her discover the photos you left behind and sow doubt in her mind about me.”
He knew?
He actually knew everything?
Tian Ye couldn’t keep a straight face anymore.
In this moment, she realized that she’d been nothing more than a fool!
All her tricks and thoughts had been seen through by this man, or more accurately, had been intentionally orchestrated by him, all for…
“Tonight, I arranged for Ye Bei in advance, and also for Zhan Yao to take her to the suite.”
With that sentence from Xiao Yebai, all of Tian Ye’s suspicions were confirmed.
Tian Ye’s pupils constricted sharply, she looked at the man in front of her motionlessly, as if she had never known him.
A bloody red slowly tinted the bottom of her eyes, harsh and aching.
“The cost of your mother’s treatment and hospitalization is a lifelong guarantee. If you are willing, you can arrange for your mother to receive regular treatment or be hospitalized. In addition, your mother has an elderly care insurance policy, which can ensure her livelihood in her old age.”
Xiao Yebai had a clear and deep voice, very attractive. A little bit of tenderness would make any woman instantly captivated and softened.
But from the moment he entered the room, all his words were laid out matter-of-factly, as if reciting a pre-memorized script, without any ups and downs or emotions. His voice was cold yet ruthless, unfeeling and indifferent…
Tian Ye, in the end, couldn’t hold back her tears, “So everything was arranged by you… I was just a pawn, and what about Mo Weiyi? Was she too? That’s why you don’t love her, you never loved her…”
Xiao Yebai said nothing more.
He put on his glasses, turned, and opened the door.
What do you think?
