As the golden sunlight spread across the land, the rays gradually slanted with the passage of time, passing through layers of curtains, and finally fell on one corner of the bed.
On the violet carved lavish bed, Mo Weiyiâs exquisitely arched eyebrows wrinkled and his closed catlike eyes slowly opened.
There was a moment of blankness in his mind.
His consciousness slowly returned.
Recently, both he and Xiaobai were busy with work and studies. They didnât have much time together. He wasnât sure why they were unusually passionate yesterdayâ¦
Mo Weiyi wanted to rise, but he felt sore all over. After rolling around in the blanket for a while, he finally manage to get up with difficulty.
âXiaobai, Xiaobai?â
Mo Weiyi ruffled his hair and turned to look at the bedside table.
Upon seeing the time shown on the alarm clock, he nearly lost it.
Half past nine?
He urgently threw off the blanket.
This is bad, he had English class at nine in the morning.
The professor mentioned last time that he would take attendance and check homework today. Those who are late would lose points!
He overslept, to think that his love life would lead him astray!
Mo Weiyi didnât have time to wonder why his three to four daily morning alarms didnât ring. He quickly washed up, dressed, and hurried downstairs. âAunt Zhou, is Uncle Liu here? Askhim to take me to school quickly!â âAlright.â Aunt Zhou said smilingly, âBreakfast is ready⦠Princess? Princess?â The princess ran off?
She would even skip breakfast to go to school?
Aunt Zhou was once again⦠surprised by Mo Weiyiâs behavior.

In the car, after hastily applying makeup, Mo Weiyi finally arrived at the school past ten.
When he reached the classroom, the second class had already begun.
He realized that the teacher for today wasnât the usual professor, but a stern, nitpicking professor from the English department.
Mo Weiyi thought he was doomed. He wasnât just going to lose points, he was probably going to have a hard time during the exam tooâ¦
As expected, when he saw someone arrive late, the old professor furrowed his brows and angrily said, âWhat time is it now?â
With a loud âbang1, he slammed a duster onto the table, making the entire classroom shake three times.
âIs this how you law students attend classes? Arriving late, skipping classes, and turning in late⦠The second class is already ending, what are you doing here?â
Then, pulling out a small notebook and pen, he asked, âWhatâs your name?â
He was in real trouble, about to get named and lose points⦠Mo Weiyi sighed inwardly, and reluctantly told him, âMo Weiyi.â
âWhat? Speak up, after being late, what else are you ashamed of!â
Thereforeâ¦
âMo Weiyi!â
The old professorâs hand shook, he adjusted his glasses, put down his pen, muttered, âUnbelievable! Come in and start studying!â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
Everyone: ââ¦â

After class, the old professor was about to leave.
âTeacher, wait a moment.â
The old professorâs legs trembled in fear.
Was getting away with tardiness and missing the first class not enough, now she wanted to bother him?
Mo Weiyi walked up to him, innocently asked: âTeacher, I missed the first class today and missed out on the earlier part of the lecture, could you explain it to me once more?â
Old professor: ââ¦â
Had Mo Weiyi changed his ways?
He was actually proactively asking questions?
âTeacher?â A confused look enveloped Mo Weiyiâs delicate face.
The old professor finally recovered, âAlright.â

Twenty minutes later, the classroom was empty.
Mo Weiyi finally understood, âThankyou, teacher, I get it now.â
The old professor wiped the sweat from his forehead, finally able to leave.
Reallyâ¦
Why was she making her English studies so complicated?
Wasnât it better to be the little princess of the Mo family?
His lecture had exhausted him!
His mouth was so dry!
Mo Weiyi packed up her books, prepared to go to the canteen to find Su Wanwan. Just as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she heard a voice behind her.
âMiss Mo.â
Mo Weiyi stopped and turned around.
As expected, it was Tian Ye.
She was dressed genteelly in a long skirt with a wine-red coat draped over her shoulders, her shoulder-length curly hair neatly styled, making her look warm and intellectual.
âWhat are you doing here?â Mo Weiyi asked with a cold face.
Tian Ye stared at the beautiful young girl in front of her and spoke softly, âMiss Mo, it was wrong of me during the incident at the restaurant. I apologize.â
âSo, you came to apologize?â Mo Weiyi held her books tighter, âTell me, what did you do wrong?â
Tian Ye was taken aback.
The little girl in front of her, with obvious confidence and arrogance in her delicate eyes and eyebrows, spoke with her little chin lifted, giving her a superior air.
Although she was five years younger than Tian Ye, her behavior was like that of a proud little princess.
And she, without realizing it, was at a disadvantage.
However, Tian Ye knew she was wrong and took a step ahead to explain, âMiss Mo, Yebai and I are really just classmates. My ex-boyfriendâs name is Ye Bei. We dated for five years. I stayed in America for two years for him. We almost got married until I found out he was cheating on me⦠After that, I came back home.â
âSo, you intentionally said Yebai was your boyfriend?â
âNo, I didnât do it on purpose. Once when I was on the phone, my mother heard me call Yebai. She mistook it for Ye Bei. Coincidentally, it was her birthday yesterday, and she asked him to come to join us for dinner. I didnât dare tell her Ye Bei cheated on me because her heart is very weak and she has been suffering from severe depressionâ¦â
Mo Weiyi finally got it, she lifted her chin higher, âSo why are you looking for me now?â
âMiss Mo, I know this is a lot to ask, butâ¦â Tian Ye bit her lip, finding it very hard to speak, âMy mother felt uncomfortable in her heart after returning home last night. The doctors said she needed a heart transplant immediately, but she refused. Could you ask Yebai to pay her a visit, pretending for a momentâ¦â
âNo!â Mo Weiyi rejected her without hesitation.
âMiss Mo, canât you help me even if I beg?â
Tian Yeâs eyes reddened. She looked pitiful as she sobbed, âMy mom divorced my dad when I was ten because my dad had another family with a different woman. That woman came to our house with her son, which made my mom furious. They started fighting. When my dad came, he hit my mom without saying a word⦠My momâs foot was injured at that time.
Later, when I went abroad, she lived alone in China with no friends or relatives. Life was tough for her. Now, all I want is for her to live her remaining years in peace. If Yebai can persuade her to have the heart transplant surgery, Iâm ready to do whatever you askâ¦â
âWhy didnât you go to Yebai directly?â Mo Weiyi sneered, âOr⦠did you already try that?â
Tian Ye quickly denied it, âNo, I didnât.â
âWhy not?â
âHe definitely wouldnât agree.â
Upon hearing that, Mo Weiyi couldnât help but laugh, âIf you already knew he wouldnât agree, then why come looking for me?â
âMiss Mo, you are his wife. I believe that as long as you say something, he will listen and do it.â
Mo Weiyi laughed tilted her head, âYeah, I also think so.â
Tian Ye: ââ¦â
The next second.
âBut I wonât persuade him to do such a thing. I am not a saint. Why would I let my husband fake being another womanâs boyfriend? Only an idiot would do such a thing!â Mo Weiyi was very blunt.
âMiss Mo.â Tian Yeâs tears finally fell, âAs I have said, Yebai and I are really just friends. I wonât have any improper thoughts. I beg you, can you help my mother? We just need to pretend for a moment and persuade my mother to undergo the surgery. Are you really going to watch her die? Is your heart really that coldâ¦â
âShut up!â Mo Weiyiâs face darkened sharply, âMiss Tian, since you and Xiaobai were classmates at the American Institute, you must be an intellectual, right? Are intellectuals these days so fond of moral blackmail? If I donât save your mother, am I heartless? The fact is, my husband has been used by you, and I, as his wife, am the victim. Do you think I should still send him to be used by you again, and with a smile?â
âMiss Mo,â¦â
âLet me tell you, even if I donât save her, no one can blame me. First, if I let Xiaobai pretend to be your boyfriend, I will be very unhappy. Why should I make myself distressed just to do something good? Second, I remember your mother tried to hit me last time, calling me a mistress. If Xiaobai hadnât protected me, my face might have been scratched. Would I let Xiaobai meet such a dangerous person? What if she suddenly went crazy again and hurt Xiaobai?â
âMy mother is bedridden now, sheâs very weak. How could she possibly hit youâ¦â
Mo Weiyi chuckled coldly, âWhat if she does? I initially thought your mother looked kind and gentle. Who knew she would suddenly go crazy, almost attacking me!â
