My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 807: 807, actually Xiao Yebai is not as good as you imagine.

Not long after lunch was finished.

“The young master is back.”

Fu Ziyang walked in with a small backpack, followed by Fu Qi, whom they hadn’t seen for many days.

The old lady doted on this child tremendously, immediately pulling him to sit down, asking if he had eaten and fussing over him with various concerns.

Su Wanwan looked at Fu Qi. “Miss Fu, take a seat.”

Fu Qi pursed her lips, seemingly hesitant.

...

Just then, the door to the study opened, and Huo Jingshen walked out.

Since he was indoors, the man had already taken off his suit jacket and was now wearing a simple white shirt paired with black trousers. The shirt was tucked in neatly, making his appearance crisp and neat, pleasant to the eye.

His gaze fell on Fu Qi, and with a slight nod of his head, he walked over and sat next to Su Wanwan.

One hand rested on his long leg’s knee, while the other was raised and placed on the back of the sofa behind Su Wanwan.

His movements were natural as if he had done this countless times before.

Fu Qi forced herself to look away and found a seat opposite them.

Su Wanwan quickly started playing a game with Fu Ziyang.

It was still “Peace Elite.”

The two, one older and one younger, were concentrating deeply on the game; Su Wanwan was constantly giving commands, and although Fu Ziyang didn’t talk much, he occasionally offered reminders or updates.

As they played, Huo Jingshen simply sat and watched, occasionally picking up his phone to glance at it.

Overall, the atmosphere in the living room was cheerful and harmonious, almost like a joyous gathering across four generations, while Fu Qi felt like an outsider.

Her heart was incredibly bitter.

“Miss Fu?” Grandmother Huo suddenly spoke, “Why not join Wanwan in playing the game?”

Fu Qi replied, “I don’t know how.”

She was not only unskilled, but she also disliked playing games.

Grandmother Huo asked again, “Aren’t you two years older than Wanwan?”

Fu Qi nodded.

“Being young is wonderful,” Grandmother Huo said with a smile. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

“No,” Fu Qi replied quickly, stealing a glance at Huo Jingshen, “I’ve been busy with work lately, not looking for one now.”

“Is that so?” Grandmother Huo expressed disbelief.

She still remembered the last Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner when Fu Qi kept sneaking peeks at Huo Nuanyang.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

A series of footsteps came from the staircase, and Huo Nuanyang came downstairs carrying a military bag.

Dressed in a camouflage combat uniform, his physique was lean and muscular, and the muscles on his wrist carrying the bag were pronounced, exuding a strong masculine charm.

“Miss Fu…”

Yet, Fu Qi suddenly stood up because she saw that Huo Jingshen had leaned his face on Su Wanwan’s shoulder…

“Sorry, I have something else to attend to,” she said without turning her head, practically fleeing.

Su Wanwan looked up, puzzled, “Why did she suddenly leave?”

Grandmother Huo thought to herself, she must have felt shy upon seeing him.

Her three grandsons, not to boast, each had their unique charming qualities.

Take Huo Nuanyang, for instance, though he might not possess the extraordinarily handsome features of Huo Jingshen, he was still strikingly handsome and impressive!

If Nuanyang could really become a pair with Fu Qi, it would be an added bonus of kin on kin…

“Little aunt said she wanted to go watch a movie this afternoon,” Fu Ziyang suddenly explained.

Watch a movie?

Su Wanwan couldn’t resist gossiping, “Who is she with?”

Fu Ziyang tilted his little head and looked at her, “If I say it’s uncle, little aunt, would you be happy?”

Su Wanwan was startled.

This little brat…

**

Around four in the afternoon, Huo Jingshen took his wife home.

Passing by the neighboring door, he noticed two moving company trucks parked by the roadside, and people continuously carrying things inside.

“Did the new residents move in so quickly?”

Su Wanwan remembered a family of three living there previously, who, because their house was close to Villa No. 69, she occasionally saw on the road.

As the car drove closer, she saw a tall man in the yard directing the workers, dressed in a dark striped shirt paired with black trousers, whose back seemed familiar.

Just as she wanted a better look, the car quickly passed by.

She exclaimed, “Why are you driving so fast?”

Huo Jingshen glanced at her, “Didn’t you say you wanted to hurry home to study?”

Otherwise, why would he have scrambled to buy her study materials, and just happened to run into Chu Jingyi and made such a scene?

Su Wanwan explained, “I just saw that man inside seemed quite familiar…”

“Man?”

“It’s the chairman’s friend, kind of an elder, the one who drove me home last time, I think his last name was… Gu?”

“Is that so?” Huo Jingshen was noncommittal, “Do you need your husband to take you next door to welcome the new neighbors?”

Su Wanwan refused, “No need.”

Tianquan Royal Court is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Nancheng, where, apart from familiar acquaintances, other neighbors are quite cold and distant.

Being overly enthusiastic might even make people think you have ulterior motives.

Besides, regarding the previous family of three, he never took the initiative to take her over to meet them…

**

The next day was Monday.

In the morning, Su Wanwan went back to school for some business, and in the afternoon, she came to work at the company.

As the afternoon neared its end and she was busy, a message from Yan Shunhua suddenly popped up on WeChat.

[Wanwan, wait for me after work.]

…

Su Wanwan thought she must have been remiss in some part of her work to be personally sought by the chairman; she was definitely going to be working overtime tonight.

Just as she was about to send a message to Huo Jingshen, footsteps approached.

Looking up, she saw Yan Shunhua had already come out of his office, carrying a bag.

“Wanwan, I’m ready.”

Su Wanwan quickly stood up.

Efficiently shutting down her computer and gathering her belongings, she carried her bag and followed Yan Shunhua out of the company.

In the elevator, Yan Shunhua smiled and said, “My car is restricted today, and since it happens to be on your way, do you mind giving me a ride?”

“Of course not.”

Yan Shunhua’s smile widened, “Aren’t you going to ask where I’m going?”

“Chairman, where are you going?” Su Wanwan complied smoothly.

She assumed it was either some club or restaurant.

The selection for the latest script was pretty much settled, and next they needed to discuss ongoing work with a few investors and collaborators.

“Who would’ve thought that Yan Shunhua would say, ‘I just moved into a new house these past few days, at… Tianquan Royal Court.'”

Su Wanwan: “…”

…

When they drove into Imperial Court Villa and finally stopped in front of Villa No. 68, Su Wanwan was somewhat shocked, “Chairman, this is your new house?”

“Yes,” Yan Shunhua unbuckled his seatbelt, “Which number do you live in?”

Su Wanwan pointed ahead, “Number 69, we are neighbors.”

“Really?” Yan Shunhua’s eyes lit up, “That’s really a coincidence, Gu Shaoting recommended this house to me. It’s close to the company and the price wasn’t expensive, so I let him finalize it for me. I just moved in last night, I didn’t expect to be neighbors with you.”

Su Wanwan chuckled.

A villa worth tens of millions and he calls it inexpensive, and to buy and move in so quickly… The man she saw last night must have been Gu Shaoting, right?

Indeed, being wealthy means doing whatever you want.

“There are some places that still need to be sorted out, give me a few days, then, I would like to invite you and Mr. Huo to come over for a visit, okay?”

Looking at Yan Shunhua’s eager gaze, Su Wanwan nodded, “Sure.”

…

After Yan Shunhua got out of the car, he waved to Su Wanwan inside the car.

Not until the red car slowly drove away and entered the yard of Villa No. 69, disappearing from sight, did he turn around, push open the garden gate, and walk in.

Inside the living room, a maid was tidying up.

Because both moving out and in were done in a rush, many things were still not organized, and it was quite a mess.

Yan Shunhua gave a few quick instructions and then went upstairs, entering the north-facing bedroom.

He pulled back the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window and stood there, eyes gazing at the building opposite.

Actually, he couldn’t see anything at all.

Although they were neighbors, the villas were spaced far apart from each other, ensuring plenty of privacy between residents.

Yet, Yan Shunhua still stood there, watching the opposite side, a faint smile lingering on his lips until a ringtone from a cell phone rang.

The call connected, and a tender, coquettish voice of a little girl came through, “Mommy, I miss you.”

“Mommy misses you too,” Yan Shunhua paused, then said, “Wanwan.”

“Mommy, when are you coming back?” the girl named Wanwan asked on the other end.

“It might… be a while.”

“But I miss you. I haven’t seen you for months, and the summer break is about to start. Can I come to China to see you?”

“No, it’s not safe for you to come alone. Be a good girl and listen to your uncle. Mommy will come back to you as soon as she’s done.”

“But I miss you…” Wanwan continued, incessantly cooing and wheedling.

As for the villa across the street.

Huo Jingshen hadn’t gotten off work yet, so Su Wanwan could only call her best friend to gossip.

“Weiyi, don’t you think the Chairman and I are so destined? Moreover, she’s really nice, beautiful and gentle. By the way, have you seen the jade pig bracelet she gave me last time?”

But Mo Weiyi said, “No reason for generosity without a cause, it’s either a crook or a thief.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

“Don’t you think she’s being a bit too nice to you? She’s neither kin nor kith, why give you such an expensive gift…”

“That’s because she wants to collaborate with Gu Huai’an, and Gu Huai’an roped in Huo Yuan Group. I was there that day, and my husband said she did it just to curry favor…”

“A favor costing eleven million, one hundred and eleven thousand is a bit expensive.”

Su Wanwan suddenly asked, “Are you scared by Xiao Yebai’s tricks? When did you start finding this amount of money expensive?”

… No response.

Su Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh, “So, have you been to the hospital these days?”

“No.”

“You have some nerve.” Su Wanwan was quite surprised. “He didn’t call you to go see him? Really that compliant?”

Mo Weiyi replied with an indifferent tone, “Auntie Zhou delivers his meals three times daily, and whenever she returns, she talks nonstop about his condition next to me. Whether I visit him or not, what difference does it make?”

“Well, if you feel like seeing him, go ahead. If you’re afraid, take me with you, I’ll accompany you.”

“Alright, it’s time for me to take my herbal medicine, let’s not talk anymore.”

“…Oh.”

**

Lishui Bay Villa.

After Mo Weiyi hung up the phone, she slowly sipped the hot herbal medicine prepared by Auntie Zhou, one sip at a time.

The medicine was prescribed by Doctor Pu to stabilize the pregnancy, to be taken twice daily, morning and evening.

It was unbearably bitter.

After finally finishing it, Auntie Zhou immediately handed her a cup of honey water.

Mo Weiyi sat on the sofa, took a few sips, and then continued binge-watching her show.

Her beautiful cat-like eyes quietly stared at the TV screen, only slowly blinking after a long while.

The episode ended quickly, followed by the ending theme song.

In the past, she would have already grabbed the remote control to skip to the next episode, but now she showed no reaction at all.

It was clear her mind was elsewhere

When it was time, Auntie Zhou came out with a meal box in hand. “Princess, dinner is ready and on the table. Make sure to eat it while it’s hot. I’m going to the hospital now to deliver a dinner to Mr. Xiao.”

“Understood.”

Auntie Zhou added, “Assistant Zhong just called; the lunch he delivered wasn’t really eaten. Since you can only eat liquid food now, having such a poor appetite isn’t good…”

“Auntie Zhou, you should head to the hospital,” Mo Weiyi suddenly spoke, “After delivering the dinner, come back earlier. I want to sleep early today.”

“…Understood.”

The cellphone on the coffee table suddenly rang.

Auntie Zhou paused.

The call was from Mo Yaoxiong. Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and answered the phone, “Dad.”

“Weiyi, what’s going on? Why is Yebai suddenly injured and in the hospital?” Mo Yaoxiong sounded accusatory. “Such a significant issue arose, and why did you two hide it from me? If I hadn’t asked Zhong Kai, I wouldn’t have known that Yebai has been in the hospital for two days now!”

Mo Yaoxiong was very angry. “I am already at the hospital now. I just talked with the doctor, who mentioned the chest injury is quite deep. Tell me, what exactly happened?”

Mo Weiyi said, “Since you’re already at the hospital, why not ask him directly?”

“Would I be calling you if I could get it out of him?” Mo Yaoxiong raised his voice, “It was Yebai who asked me to ask you.”

Mo Weiyi chuckled softly, “He asked you to ask me?”

“What else?” Mo Yaoxiong questioned again, “What exactly did you do to Yebai?”

Mo Weiyi leaned back, raised her head to look at the crystal lamp overhead, and suddenly felt like laughing.

So, Yebai was betting on her not revealing his secretive stock transactions.

Because the Mo Family was Grandfather Mo’s life’s work, and if grandfather knew about it, with his current health, he surely couldn’t withstand such a blow…

On the phone, Mo Yaoxiong’s voice grew increasingly anxious and irritated, “Why aren’t you speaking? What exactly happened? Tell me the truth, did you and Yebai have a conflict? Did you two argue? Did it get physical?”

“If we really had gotten physical, shouldn’t you first ask if the child in my stomach is alright?”

Mo Yaoxiong was stunned.

Then he immediately asked, “Your child is okay, right?”

“…” Mo Weiyi lowered her voice and directly asked him, “Do you still remember the USB drive you gave me?”

“Come to the hospital first.” Mo Yaoxiong’s response was ambiguous, “We’ll talk when you get here.”

**

In the end, Mo Weiyi chose to go to the hospital.

A bodyguard drove, and accompanying her was Aunt Zhou, who brought some prepared nutritious porridge.

Half an hour later, at the hospital ward.

It was time for the doctors to change shifts, and the man in the bed was undergoing a routine check-up.

Upon hearing a sound, he immediately turned his face toward it.

Mo Weiyi gave him a measured look without a sideward glance, then calmly shifted her gaze away.

Mo Yaoxiong ordered the servant, “After the check-up, you feed Yebai first. Weiyi and I need to have a word.”

“Okay.”

“Weiyi, come with me.”

Mo Weiyi followed him out.

The man’s gaze tracked her figure like a shadow, until the doctor’s voice interrupted, “Give me your hand, I need to check your temperature.”

Xiao Yebai pulled his gaze back and raised his hand, while his lips slightly curled up.

**

In the staircase, Mo Yaoxiong got straight to the point, “Tell me, what exactly happened to his injuries?”

Mo Weiyi simply said, “He hurt himself by accident.”

“By accident?” Mo Yaoxiong clearly didn’t believe it, “He accidentally cut his own hand, stabbed a hole in his chest, and injured his forehead too?”

Mo Weiyi played with the ends of her curly hair, “If you don’t believe me, why bother asking?”

This indifferent attitude visibly upset Mo Yaoxiong, “Weiyi, when will you ever be sensible?”

Mo Weiyi shifted her gaze away, silent.

“Your grandfather is still lying in the ICU, his heart has always been weak. Over the years, he’s undergone many surgeries, big and small. Although this time it was successful, his age is against him, the doctor said his bodily functions have deteriorated severely, now he can only recover slowly and must not be subjected to any stimulation. Do you know what this means?”

Mo Yaoxiong became emotional, “I’ll just tell you directly, Yebai is now the pillar of the Mo Family. The incident during the anniversary caused a huge drop in the company’s share prices. If it weren’t for Yebai’s efforts, the losses would’ve been unimaginable. We now have an important collaboration with the Zhou Family, I’m not asking you to contribute to the family, but can you at least not be capricious and make things difficult for Yebai now?”

Mo Weiyi finally spoke, “Dad, I didn’t come here to be lectured by you today. I want to know about the USB.”

Mo Yaoxiong’s demeanor turned stern, “What about the USB?”

“Why did that USB end up in Xiao Yebai’s hands? Why are all those early investment companies now owned by him, the shares also in his hands, and he even said it was you who told him to do this, is he lying?”

“Why would you think so?” Mo Yaoxiong countered, “How much do you understand about business affairs? Are you arguing with Yebai over this?”

He explained, “It was me who asked him to buy back those companies. Though they are registered under his name for now, as long as they are under the Mo Family’s name, there won’t be an issue.”

“Dad, are you confused? He now holds more than half of the Mo Family’s shares; he could use these to directly take over the entire company!”

“You’re overthinking it; Yebai would never do such a thing,” he added, “If he wanted to, he could have done it long ago. Why wait until now? And to be discovered by you?”

“I also found out through others’ investigations, Dad, you trust him too much!”

Many emotions flitted across Mo Yaoxiong’s face, then he said, “You don’t understand these matters, you don’t need to get involved.”

Mo Weiyi scoffed.

Now she fully understood.

This matter probably started with Dad’s intention of having Xiao Yebai use some tactics to acquire the companies, but he never anticipated it would backfire, and now Xiao Yebai holds more than fifty percent of the shares, yet Mo Yaoxiong still thinks it’s no problem?!

No wonder Grandpa has always been reluctant to let him take over the company…

“Dad, I have only one request, don’t talk to Grandpa about this matter yet.”

“Your grandfather certainly won’t find out,” Mo Yaoxiong replied before changing the subject, “Weiyi, don’t forget you are pregnant. The only thing you should do is take good care of your pregnancy and live well with Yebai. If not for yourself, think about the child in your womb. Even for the sake of the Mo Family, you can’t divorce now. Weiyi, do you understand what I mean?”

Mo Weiyi certainly understood.

But…

She didn’t want to understand.

If things were like before when she knew nothing, that would be great.

Why had so many things recently gradually made her aware?

She suddenly felt that being naive and ignorant of worldly matters like before was pretty good.

Ignorance is bliss.

That way she wouldn’t have so many scruples and worries now…

“Stop overthinking,” Mo Yaoxiong advised his daughter, “Yebai is very capable at his job and treats you well; he has served the company faithfully for many years and has never been involved in any scandal. He personally promised your mother back then that no matter what happened, he would always treat you well. He said the same to your grandfather. Isn’t that enough? With such a good husband, you should know to cherish him…”

“Actually, Xiao Yebai isn’t as good as you think,” she said.

Mo Yaoxiong felt his daughter was being obstinate, “What about him is not good?”

Mo Weiyi thought there were too many bad things about him.

He had deliberately bought over more than half of the company’s shares!

He even threatened her with these, saying that once they divorced, he would leave her grandfather with nothing!

He had even used this to scheme against you…

But in the end, Mo Weiyi only said, “He treats me poorly.”

Hearing this, Mo Yaoxiong sighed deeply, “Weiyi, I remember more than half a year ago, you also fought with him about a divorce. The things I said then, I don’t want to repeat them again.”

“You don’t need to say it; I don’t want to hear it either.”

Mo Yaoxiong looked at his daughter with earnestness, “Marriage and love are different. Marriage involves more responsibilities, especially now that you are pregnant. Even if you make a fuss, Yebai won’t divorce you, do you understand?”

Mo Weiyi thought about what the old Mr. Mo had told her in the hospital room a few days ago.

And she thought of the similar words Mo Yaoxiong had said more than half a year ago.

At that time, she didn’t quite understand.

But now, or rather these past few days, she suddenly understood.

Mo Weiyi nodded, “I understand.”

Mo Yaoxiong thought she had taken it in and breathed a sigh of relief, “Go back, and later have a good talk with Yebai; he is a patient now, don’t be upset with him anymore, okay?”

Mo Weiyi didn’t speak, and just quietly followed him back to the hospital room.

**

The conversation had lasted too long, and the doctor and nurse had already left.

Seeing Mo Weiyi return, the man who was eating porridge said, “Aunt Zhou, I’m done eating.”

The man was wearing a hospital gown, the unbuttoned collar revealing overly pale skin.

A pair of peach blossom eyes stared intently at the woman who entered, and perhaps from lack of sleep, there were a hint of redness in the corners.

The whole person had a kind of… almost sickly beauty.

“Yebai, you should just focus on recovering here in the hospital, let the others handle the company affairs,” she said.

“Okay,” he responded softly.

Mo Weiyi sat down on the couch, listening to Mo Yaoxiong as he continued to prattle on with arrangements.

Actually, Mo Yaoxiong had always been quite satisfied with this foster son.

It was only tonight that Mo Weiyi realized that this satisfaction… seemed even more tolerant than she had thought before.

“I need to go back to dad’s side; can’t leave it unattended,” Mo Yaoxiong said, holding his car keys and looking at his daughter, “Weiyi, stay here and accompany Yebai for a while before you go back.”

“…”

“Weiyi!” Mo Yaoxiong clicked his tongue, “Did you hear what I said?”

Mo Weiyi snapped back to reality.

The man in the hospital bed had been watching the silently composed woman the whole time since she entered the room, until she said one word—”Okay.”

He lowered his head, a glimmer of a smile flashing across his eyes in an instant.

Thus, Mo Yaoxiong left pleased, and Aunt Zhou also found an excuse to leave.

The door to the room was closed once again.

Mo Weiyi spoke directly, “You’ve been hinting through everyone for me to come to the hospital to see you, and now that I’m here, just say whatever you want to say.”

The man in the hospital bed was first silent, then he said, “Were you frightened by me yesterday?”

“Not really.” Mo Weiyi’s tone remained unchanged, “When I think about the things you’ve done, I don’t find it terrifying at all; it’s just getting hurt and bleeding, which might just be your usual methods.”

The man looked at her calm eyes, and his formerly gentle voice distinctly cooled, “Methods?”

Mo Weiyi nodded, “But it’s your own body, you can do as you like with it, it has nothing to do with me.”

“It does matter.” Xiao Yebai took over her words, “You once said that I’m yours for a lifetime. Therefore, my body is not my own, it’s also yours.”

Mo Weiyi ultimately couldn’t suppress the flicker of movement in her heart, her fingers also suddenly tightened.

But quickly, she turned her face to look at the fresly blooming kikyo flowers brought by visitors in the vase beside her, eyes steadfast, still speaking coldly, “Do you have anything else to say?”

The hospital room fell into a prolonged silence.

The man didn’t speak, and Mo Weiyi didn’t turn her face to look at him either.

After about ten seconds, she spoke again, “Since you have nothing to say, then I will.”

Xiao Yebai seemed to remind her, “I’ve said that there are some things I do not want to hear again.”

“Oh, you mean divorce?” Mo Weiyi curved her red lips, “Because of this, you’ve brought yourself to the brink of death, and now I see clearly, it seems you will never agree to a divorce.”

The man’s deep black eyes were fixed intently on her face, his gaze focused and scrutinizing, “I have already warned all the law firms in Nancheng, no one will take your divorce case.”

“Impressive.” Mo Weiyi’s red lips formed a deeper curve, “Did you also cancel the cooperation with my master?”

Xiao Yebai did not deny it.

After all, he had never tried to hide that he had done so.

“So be it then.” Mo Weiyi said, picking up her small bag and standing up from the couch, “I understand what you mean.”

Xiao Yebai watched her, “Understood, then what?”

“I have a prenatal checkup at the hospital tomorrow, I want to go back early to sleep, and,” Mo Weiyi slightly furrowed her brow, “since my father has already sent a maid to take care of you, from now on don’t have Aunt Zhou cook and deliver meals for you, and don’t make this pregnant woman run back and forth.”

Her tone and manner were very normal, just like an ordinary conversation.

Xiao Yebai, however, continued to focus intently on her face, seemingly trying to read some different emotion there.

Then he said, “As long as you behave, I will quickly recover and leave the hospital to accompany you.”

Mo Weiyi said nothing, as if agreeing.

When Aunt Zhou returned, Xiao Yebai instructed, “Aunt Zhou, no need to bring meals for the next few days, stay home and rest well with the princess, and accompany her for the prenatal checkup.”

“Yes, Young Master Xiao.”

As the two of them left the hospital room together, Xiao Yebai faintly curled his lips, then picked up the phone, methodically made arrangements, and said, “Send a few more people to guard the villa, follow her to the hospital tomorrow, and report to me immediately if anything happens.”

**

The next day, Mo Weiyi went for her prenatal checkup at the hospital.

With bodyguards and Aunt Zhou accompanying her, it went smoothly and safely.

Over the next few days, she stayed inside the villa, going to bed early and waking up early, eating on time, taking medication to stabilize the pregnancy, and spending the rest of the time watching TV series.

When the new week arrived, she changed into outdoor clothing and went downstairs after breakfast.

“Princess, isn’t the prenatal checkup scheduled for the afternoon?” Aunt Zhou asked.

“I need to go to the school in the morning, I have some matters to handle.”

“Then I will inform Young Master Xiao.”

“Mm.” Mo Weiyi responded casually, her face showing no sign of resistance.

It was as if she had already gotten used to it.

…

After Aunt Zhou had finished making the notification call, she accompanied Weiyi out of the house.

Previously, only one bodyguard had followed her to prenatal checks, but when they heard they were going to the school today, four or five of them immediately stood up to accompany her.

Weiyi didn’t say anything.

Thinking she was unhappy, Aunt Zhou gently persuaded her, “Princess, Mr. Xiao is just concerned about you; after all, you are pregnant now, and there are so many people in the school. What if you get bumped or hurt…”

“Why are you so worried?” Weiyi didn’t take it seriously, “I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for a week, and Dr. Pu has said the baby is stable now.”

“But still…”

“Alright then, let’s take two cars,” Weiyi replied impatiently.

Aunt Zhou busied herself helping her into the car.

Mr. Xiao would be discharged from the hospital in two more days. In these days, the princess had been very well-behaved, never venturing out needlessly. Whenever she met friends, it was always at home…but vigilance could still not be relaxed.

The cars, one in front of the other, drove out of the villa. Weiyi sat in the front car; besides Aunt Zhou, there were two other bodyguards, one driving and one sitting in the passenger seat.

They kept an eye on the rearview mirror all the way, fully alert.

Upon reaching the school gate, Weiyi called out, “Stop the car.”

The bodyguard stopped the vehicle.

When Su Wanwan looked up from the sidewalk, she cursed under her breath and hurried forward to hold Weiyi’s arm.

Seeing the five black-clad, sunglasses-wearing bodyguards who immediately followed, she asked in a low voice, “Do you really need to be this extravagant?”

It was just a thesis guidance class today after all.

The scene felt like something out of a movie…

Thus, Weiyi commanded, “Stay further back.”

The five bodyguards, obedient, stood still and waited until the two of them had walked several steps before following at a safe distance.

Su Wanwan felt really awkward.

While Weiyi had often traveled with bodyguards before, it was usually just Rong An, and since Rong An always kept a poker face and was quite good-looking, most people took him for Weiyi’s friend without an introduction.

But now, with these five hulky bodyguards bursting out of their suit seams and constantly scanning the surroundings, they almost bore a “keep away” sign on their faces…

Since Xiao Yebai had already made the pregnancy public during a press conference, some gossipy students were aware, and given that Weiyi was also the campus beauty, her rare appearance at school was quite a novelty. So along the way, students and even teachers turned their heads to look, some taking photos with their phones and murmuring…

Su Wanwan wondered, why bother? Isn’t it better to rest at home and take care of the pregnancy?

Finally reaching the classroom, Su Wanwan exhaled in relief, “What on earth made you come to the school? You really are exhausting!”

Looking at the bodyguards who were still on high alert in the corridor, Weiyi curved her lips, “It’s fun.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Fun my ass!

**

Meanwhile, in the hospital room.

Xiao Yebai received a report call from the bodyguards.

Zhong Kai kept watching his boss until the call was finally over, then he spoke, “Mr. Xiao…”

“Wait a second,” Xiao Yebai interrupted him.

“Sure,” Zhong Kai sat there, watching as Xiao Yebai scrolled the computer screen with his uninjured left hand.

No one knew what he saw, but a smile lingered on his lips, and he seemed in very good spirits, even a rare hint of tenderness appearing on his typically cold face…

During these days, he had visited the hospital every day to accompany his boss with work matters. He hadn’t seen the Little Princess visiting, nor had he seen them talking on the phone…

Could it be they had made up?
