âMiss Moâ¦â
Her phone rang, Mo Weiyi tookit out and glanced at it, âI have to go, Iâm meeting a friend for dinner.â
After saying this, she turned to leave.
âMiss Mo, Miss Mo, Miss Mo, donât goâ¦â Tian Ye rushed up to her, trying to grab her hand.
Mo Weiyi violently shook him off.
A gust of wind blew past, causing her full, curly hair to flutter wildly in the air, a striking complement to her cold, striking features.
âStop pulling at me and crying! Iâve told you, the thing I hate most is âthe innocentâ. Iâm not falling for your act!â
Tian Ye looked at her, taken aback by her harsh tone.
The two of them had been arguing in front of the teaching building for quite some time, one of them being the campus belle, the other crying non-stop; it had already attracted a good number of students who were watching the spectacle unfold.
Mo Weiyi, no longer willing to engage with her, quickly turned and left.

While having dinner in the cafeteria, Mo Weiyi told her best friend about what had happened.
Su Wanwan picked up a piece of beef and placed it in her mouth, chewing as she spoke, âI was wondering whether or not to tell you about this. I ran into her at the hospital yesterday. She was indeed seeking a psychiatrist and she was crying.â
Mo Weiyi blinked her clear, black and white eyes, âSo⦠that Tian Ye didnât lie to me?â
âProbably not, so are you going to help her?â Su Wanwan asked her.
Mo Weiyi sipped her soup, and replied at a leisurely pace, âNope! I am under no obligation to help her.â
Su Wanwan nodded.
Would Tian Ye easily give up?
She didnât think so.
After a momentâs thought, Su Wanwan asked expectantly, âWhat if she asks Mr. Xiao for help? Do you think he will assist her?â
âAbsolutely not.â Mo Weiyi answered with absolute confidence.
âWhy?â Su Wanwan was curious, âBecause your Mr. Xiao is cold and heartless?â
He had always acted cold towards her after all.
Without exaggerating, Su Wanwan felt that even though she had known Xiao Yebai for ten years, she had never seen him smile at herâ¦
It was really hard for her to imagine him eagerly helping or comforting someone else.
âNo,â Mo Weiyi said with a cheerful smile, âHe knows that if he helps another woman, it will upset me.â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
Alright, thatâs the princess logic for you.
Mo Weiyi was indeed solemn, but when she went home in the afternoon, Aunt Zhou came over in a hur-ry, holding a mobile phone in her hand.
âLittle Princess, Mr. Xiao left his mobile phone at home,â she said.
âJust now?â
Aunt Zhou nodded, âYes, Mr. Xiao came back earlier, changed his clothes and left again. This should be his work mobile phone.â
Mo Weiyi took the black phone and casually asked, âDid he say where he was going?â
âI heard Assistant Zhong say something about Nangong Hospital.â
âNangong Hospital?â
Aunt Zhou nodded, âYes, Assistant Zhong went with him, so they should have gone together.â
Mo Weiyi didnât say anything. She looked at the black business phone in her hand, pondered for a moment, then turned and walked towards the door, âUncle Liu, take me to the hospital.â
In fact, even if Xiao Yebai agreed to help, the most she would do was to feel a little troubled and unhappy, but in the end, she understood.
After all, Tian Ye was his classmate, and from his desperate cries at school that morning, it was clear that he was at his wit's end.
As the saying goes, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, so Mo Weiyi felt that even if she didnât want to help, she wouldnât prevent Xiao Yebai from doing so.
But if Xiao Yebai really did help and chose to hide it from herâ¦
Mo Weiyi found that she just couldnât accept that.
There should be honesty between husband and wife, and she wasnât such a cold-hearted person.
All the way, she was lost in her thoughts, and when she saw the hospital come into view, she finally called Su Wenwen.
âWanwan, do you remember which floor you saw Tian Ye on yesterday?â
Su Wanwan replied, âThe 21st floor, she came in from the 21st floor.â
âOkay, I understand,â she said.
Entering the inpatient department, Mo Weiyi walked into the elevator without any obstacles and directly pressed the button for the 21st floor.
The elevator numbers changed layer by layer, and so did the emotions in her heart.
When the elevator door finally opened, Mo Weiyi looked up to see a familiar man in patient clothes standing outside.
âOh, Little Princess, what a coincidence. Orâ¦â Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows, looking at Mo Weiyi with surprise, âDid you know I was hospitalized, so you came to visit me specifically?â
Mo Weiyi didnât feel like dealing with him and walked in right away.
But Chu Xiuhuang followed her, shamelessly saying, âLittle Princess, arenât you a bit ungrateful? I remember the last time you were hospitalized, I continuously sent roses, 999 a day, for several days straight. Now that Iâm hospitalized, canât you even express a little bit of concern with a small flower?â Mo Weiyi abruptly stopped, âWhy does a grown man still want flowers? Isnât that gross?â
Chu Xiuhuang wasnât angry at all. He raised his eyebrows and his thin lips curved into a wicked smile, âIsnât it said that fresh flowers go with handsome men? How is that disgusting? Donât you young ladies like beautiful men like me?â
Mo Weiyi shivered all over and rolled her eyes. She walked up to a room and knocked on the door.
She opened it and quickly apologized, âSorry, wrong room.â
Chu Xiuhuang jokingly asked, âLittle Princess, are you looking for your love rival?â
Mo Weiyi ignored him and quickly came to the second door, knocked, peeked in and said, âSorry, wrong person.â
âLittle Princess, youâll be reported for disturbing the peace like this.â
Mo Weiyi continued to ignore him and knocked on a third door. She opened it to find the room empty.
âLittle Princessâ¦â
âCanât you stop bothering me?!â Mo Weiyi couldnât help but vent her frustration.
Damn.
Her heart was already full of trouble, and now she encountered an even more annoying man.
âNot at all,â Chu Xiuhuang smiled mischievously, âIâm all alone in the ward and bored. Youâre looking for your love rival, right? I can accompany you. And later, I can help you teach her a lesson, should we disfigure her, or break her bones?â
Mo Weiyi stared at him, speechless, âArenât you injured?â
âIs the Little Princess actually worried about me?â
âNo.â Mo Weiyi quickly denied it, âI just want to know who beat you up. I want to send them a banner as a tribute, since theyâve removed a menace to the public, they must be praised!â
Chu Xiuhuangâs smile gradually stiffened, âLittle Princess, do you really wish that I got beaten up so bad?â
Mo Weiyi snorted and walked ahead haughtily, âYou, a playboy who harasses a different woman every month, should stay in the hospital a bit longer, so that the women of Nancheng can be safe.â
âNot at all, not at all, without me, Chu Xiuhuang, playing the hero, it would be a big loss for the women of Nancheng. They will regret not having received jewelry from me.â
Mo Weiyi thought of the news story from yesterday.
It claimed that he bought up all the jewelry on display at the entire banquet.
Indeed, a fool and his money are easily parted!
Once again, she pushed open a door, peeked inside, and quickly apologized, âSorry, wrong room.â
Before she could move on, Chu Xiuhuang grabbed her wrist.
Though she quickly shook him off.
âStop running around like a headless fly. There are just over twenty rooms on this floor; when will you find what youâre looking for?â
âThatâs none of your business.â
âTell me what your love rival looks like, whatâs their name, and Iâll help you ask around.â Chu Xiuhuang took out his phone as he spoke, âI can ask someone to help you find out, wouldnât that be better?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mo Weiyi hesitated for a moment, âSheâs probably in her fifties, has a heart condition, and seems to have a mental illness. I donât know her surname.â âIn her fifties?â Chu Xiuhuang clucked his tongue in amazement, âLooks like your husband has quite an interesting taste?â
Mo Weiyi couldnât help but roll her eyes, âStop talking nonsense and quickly ask.â
Chu Xiuhuangâs mouth twitched, âYou are the second woman in this world who dares to oppose me!â
The first one was that damned personal secretary!
Soon, Nangong Ci sent a message. As Mo Weiyi was reading it, two men walked out of the furthest room down the corridor.
âBoss Xiao, itâs Princessâ¦â Zhong Kaiâs words were cut short by the sudden coldness on Xiao Yebaiâs face.
He was looking at the picturesque scene in front of him.
Chu Xiuhuang, in his patient gown, still retained his seductive and beautiful charm despite not having made any effort. Instead, there was an added hint of debauched freedom.
Mo Weiyi, who stood by his side, only reached his shoulders and was looking at her phone.
The man was tall, handsome, and wickedly charming.
The woman was tall, beautiful, and sweet.
What a strangely perfect match!
Zhong Kai sneakily glanced at the man beside him and felt a jolt in his heart.
Although Boss Xiao always appeared cold and emotionless, Zhong Kai knew that he had a strong possessive desire towards the Princess. After all, he demanded that even her tutors must be female.
âRoom 2209?â After reading the message, Mo Weiyi looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in front of her.
