After all the fuss, when they returned to the old house at night, it was just before dinner and Mo Weiyi had also changed into new clothes.

She was wearing a high-collared dress that fastened at the neck with a vintage European court style. Along with orange lipstick and a small exquisite lamb-skin handbag, she looked especially elegant and vibrant.

Entering the dining room, she unexpectedly saw Qu Yunyao sitting there.

Mo Yaoxiong explained, “Yunyao heard about your aunt’s sudden car accident, so she came straight back.”

“I see.” Mo Weiyi responded neutrally, took off her scarf, and sat down at the table.

Xiao Yebai took a seat next to her.

Qu Yunyao’s eyes fixated on Mo Weiyi’s neck.

She scrutinized closely, and the slender white neck clearly bore a strawberry birthmark that was brightly red, almost purplish.

It was hidden under the high collar. But it was obvious that the unhidden parts were more shockingly intimate.

She hardly expected the seemingly refined Xiao Yebai to be so assertive.

Just as expected, all men do turn into beasts behind the scene.

Qu Yunyao’s thoughts drifted. Taken aback, she quickly picked up her wine glass and took a large gulp.

“Yunyao, take it easy on the drinks.” Mo Weiyi’s voice suddenly broke in, “Don’t go as far as you did last time in Haicheng, drinking till you blush.”

Qu Yunyao paused, then immediately replied with a smile, “Alright.”

Halfway through the family dinner, a phone rang outside.

Xiao Yebai immediately stood up, “I’m going to take a call.”

It wasn’t long before he returned.

Mo Weiyi didn’t think much of it. However, after dinner, once Elder Mo left the room, Xiao Yebai said, “Weiyi, I have to make a quick trip out.”

“Huh? This late, and you’re going out?” Mo Weiyi was immediately displeased.

Mo Yaoxiong also asked, “Where to?”

“A friend just returned to the country.” Xiao Yebai replied indifferently.

Mo Yaoxiong nodded, “Come back early.”

Mo Weiyi pouted, “So you do have friends?”

Apart from her, Xiao Yebai has always been a lone wolf with his cold personality. She never expected him to have friends.

He never told her.

Xiao Yebai looked at her, his eyes filled with a teasing sparkle, “A male friend.”

Mo Weiyi:”…”

Did she ask if his friend was male or female?

Nevertheless, she couldn’t deny that knowing this without having to ask was reassuring.

“Alright.” Mo Weiyi could only agree, “Come back early, the house is too big. I’m scared to sleep alone.”

Qu Yunyao, who was still sitting there, quietly lifted her eyes to glance at her upon hearing this.

Xiao Yebai: “Alright.”

He left shortly after and Mo Weiyi went to the living room, and watched TV with Elder Mo.

By the time it was past nine at night and Xiao Yebai hadn’t returned, Elder Mo went back to his room to rest. Mo Weiyi looked at the time and also went back to the Southern Mansion.

As soon as she entered, she turned on all the lights on the first floor. She didn’t go upstairs and chose to sit on the living room couch instead. She turned on the giant TV, set the volume to max, and watched while waiting.

About half an hour later, Mo Weiyi couldn’t contain herself anymore and silently entered Xiao Yebai’s number.

The call connected quickly and on the other end, Xiao Yebai said, “Can you let Aunt Zhou accompany you for a while? It’s still half an hour before I can get back.”

“Alright then.” Mo Weiyi squeezed her hand, “You come back soon.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up, Mo Weiyi was about to call Aunt Zhou when suddenly the mansion’s front door was knocked.

The “boom, boom, boom” of the three knocks in the quiet of the deep night sounded a bit creepy.

“Who is it?” Mo Weiyi stood up, looking at the door.

There was no response.

Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, raised her voice, and asked again, “Who is it?”

The “boom, boom, boom” came again.

“Who is it!” Mo Weiyi was getting scared.

Even though this was her own house.

But still, no one answered. Then, the front door was knocked “boom boom boom” three more times.

Mo Weiyi immediately dialed Mo Yaoxiong’s number.

Due to the Southern Mansion being uninhabited for years, and the housekeeper only cleaning during the day, Mo Weiyi didn’t like having housekeepers living there, especially with Xiao Yebai around.

But right now, she was truly frightened..
