Chapter 404: Chapter 403: 403, Xiaobai: Idiot!

“Room number 2209?” Mo Weiyi finished reading the message, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of him.

As if realizing something, Chu Xiuhuang also looked up.

Xiao Yebai was standing at the end of the corridor. His coat was in Zhong Kai’s hands, and he was wearing a meticulous, well-fitted black suit. His glasses gave him a cold and refined look, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.

“Xiaobai.” Mo Weiyi hurried over.

A provocative smile spread on Chu Xiuhuang’s thin lips.

Seeing the evident hostility in the man’s eyes, he laughed and shouted, “Little Princess, if your husband ever gets hooked on another lady, remember to kick him over to me!”

Mo Weiyi:

Goddamn!

She stopped in her tracks and turned back to give him a fierce glare.

Xiao Yebai, on the other hand, remained expressionless, with a fleeting hint of a dark emotion in his eyes.

Chu Xiuhuang laughed heartily as he left.

Mo Weiyi quickly jogged to Xiaobai, wrapping her arm around his and raising her face to appease him, “Xiaobai, don’t get me wrong, he’s just a big mouth, he’s hospitalized recently, his brain is a bit off, so don’t be angry, okay?”

Xiao Yebai didn’t say anything.

“Really, he was beaten up and ended up in hospital, his head was hurt too, so everything he said just now is all nonsense, don’t bother with him.”

Xiao Yebai still didn’t say anything.

Looking at the man’s tense and handsome profile, Mo Weiyi cautiously asked, “Xiaobai, are you angry? But I really just ran into him just now…”

“Does a coincidence need you to look at your phone?” Finally, Xiao Yebai spoke.

Mo Weiyi stammered, “I just asked him to do me a favor…”

“What favor?”

Mo Weiyi felt a bit sheepish.

If Xiaobai found out she came to catch him and…

Xiao Yebai looked at her guilty expression, his thin lips scoffed, “Why aren’t you speaking?”

Mo Weiyi sighed and had no choice but to confess, “Fine, I just asked him to help check on a hospital room.”

“Check what hospital room?” Xiao Yebai continued to probe.

His manner was assertive, direct, and intimidating.

“It’s just…”

Before Mo Weiyi could finish, Xiao Yebai coldly cut her off, “What exactly are you doing at the hospital?”

Zhong Kai standing by shuddered violently.

Holy shit!

A jealous Xiao Yebai’s so terrifying!

I’m really worried about the Little Princess…

But then Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and raised her chin defiantly, retorting, “I haven’t asked you yet. Did you come to play the part of Tian Ye’s boyfriend?”

Even though she’s the one who came to question him at the hospital, why is it that she’s the one being questioned?

Mo Weiyi wasn’t willing to give in.

Behind the lenses, Xiao Yebai’s lovely peach blossom eyes squinted, and then…

He actually walked away?

Watching the man’s upright and aloof figure, Mo Weiyi paused for a moment before rushing to catch up and grabbed his arm, apologizing, “Xiaobai, I was wrong, I didn’t mean to catch you or anything, it’s just that… I was worried about you, Xiaobai…”

Xiao Yebai kept a straight face and kept moving forward.

He had long legs and walked fast, and Mo Weiyi soon found it hard to keep up.

Besides, she was wearing a pair of tall, slender boots with stiletto heels that day. They were beautiful but not very stable.

One moment of inattention and she was suddenly slipping forward.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

“Princess, be careful!” Zhong Kai was so scared his heart almost jumped out, rushing forward.

Next, he saw the usually cold and indifferent Xiao Yebai stop in an instant. With one hand, he grabbed Mo Weiyi’s arm, and with the other, he scooped her into his arms.

Mo Weiyi was clinging to him, startled, her small claws tightly gripping his suit. Her face was pale with fear, “I’m so scared, wuwuwu…”

Xiao Yebai looked down at the pitiful and delicate face in front of him, his thin lips parting to utter two words, “Idiot.”

Idiot?

Mo Weiyi pouted, “Xiaobai, I’m scared to death, and you still scold me!”

Xiao Yebai let her go without expression, and turned to leave.

Who knew his arm would be grabbed again by those two little claws, accompanied by her soft voice, “Xiaobai, please walk with me, this tile is too slippery, I’m afraid I’ll fall.”

Xiao Yebai’s facial features remained tense, but he didn’t shake her off this time.

Behind them, Zhong Kai wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly followed them.

Once in the elevator, he had just pressed the button for the ground floor when he heard Mo Weiyi’s gentle voice again, “Xiaobai, you haven’t told me, were you helping Tian Ye just now?”

Xiao Yebai replied indifferently, “Who told you?”

“So you really did go?” Mo Weiyi huffed, sounding annoyed, “She came to find me at school today and told me to call you to the hospital to play the part of her boyfriend and persuade her mother to accept the surgery. I didn’t agree, and she called me heartless and even scolded me for being ruthless!”

“She begged me to find you and I told her you definitely wouldn’t agree to help. I didn’t expect you…” Mo Weiyi hung her head, feeling a bit upset again.

She’s not such a cold and ruthless woman. Although she didn’t want to help, if the woman stubbornly refused to have surgery and it was a matter of life and death, she might have…

“Princess, you misunderstand,” Zhong Kai couldn’t help but want to explain for his CEO, “Xiao Yebai didn’t pretend to be Miss Tian’s boyfriend. Earlier, we…”

Xiao Yebai just looked at him silently.

Zhong Kai quickly shut his mouth.

Damn!

Xiao Yebai is absolutely devastating. Every time he stared at you with those eyes, one can’t help but submit.

“Did you say Xiaobai didn’t pretend?” Mo Weiyi asked.

Zhong Kai kept his mouth shut, not daring to speak.

“Hurry up and say it!” Mo Weiyi glared at him, “If you don’t speak up, I’m going to fire you!”

Zhong Kai felt his scalp tingle and had no choice but to force out an explanation, “Xiao Yebai told me to pretend to be Ye Bei. Miss Tian’s mother is a little delirious and easy to fool, so she already believes it and her mood has stabilized. The doctor said she would be prepared for the operation in the next few days, Princess, rest assured.”

The elevator doors opened.

Xiao Yebai walked out without saying a word.

Mo Weiyi, however, praised him with a smile, “Zhong Kai, you did well, I’ll ask Xiaobai to give you a raise.”

“Thankyou, Princess!” Zhong Kai was overjoyed.

His choice was definitely right. As long as he pleased the princess, what was there to fear in the future?

Mo Weiyi had already caught up with Xiao Yebai and was clinging onto his arm again, her entire being leaning onto him.

She tilted her face, her eyes filled with a charming and pleased smile, “Xiaobai, why are you so reserved? You never tell me anything, made me worry for so long, okay, I’d say we’re even this time, you don’t be mad at me, and I won’t be mad at you…”

“I’m not mad.” Xiao Yebai flatly interrupted her.

“Alright, Xiaobai is not mad.” Mo Weiyi followed his words, but she couldn’t help but stick out her tongue after finishing.

Still not mad?

That little mouth of hers was pursed into a straight line.

Such a introverted temper!

**

Meanwhile, Chu Xiuhuang returned to his luxurious hospital room.

He took out his mobile phone and scrolled through it and then turned on the TV for a while.

Damn.

Pretending to be sick is really boring!

Can only move around inside the hospital, not even a person to talk to.

Checking the time, he decided to call Shi Huan.

But damn her! This woman dared to not answer his phone call!

With dissatisfaction in his eyes, Chu Xiuhuang hit redial and began to call relentlessly.

Finally, she picked up.

Before Chu Xiuhuang could speak, Shi Huan’s impatient voice came through, “Mr. Chu, could you stop pushing me? I just picked up my kid.”

“What kid?”

“My younger sister.”

“Since when did you have a younger sister?” Chu Xiuhuang’s eyebrows furrowed.

He remembered that Shi Huan was the youngest daughter of the Shi Family, and the least favored. After all, compared to her dazzlingly beautiful sister, Shi Huan was like a dull invisible person.

“My uncle’s daughter.”

“Your uncle.” Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, “That… convicted drug dealer?”

“…” Shi Huan was silent.

“When did he get married and have a child?”

Shi Huan was silent again:”…”

“Which good woman was so unlucky to be targeted by him?”

“Mr. Chu.” Shi Huan interrupted him, “Enough, I have to drive the kid home.”

“Alright.” Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, “Come to the hospital as soon as you send the child off. I’ve been starving for half a day, remember to buy me dinner, you know what I like to eat anyway.”

“Got it.”

**

Shi Huan hung up the call and drove the car out with a frown.

Since Chu Xiuhuang was hospitalized yesterday, she had been taking care of him in the hospital, not even being able to go to the company.

Was she going to spend the next few months like this?

“Huanhuan, are we not going to Pizza Hut?” Shi Luoluo’s voice suddenly came in.

She was leaning against the car window, watching the passing Pizza Hut, her beautiful eyes full of reluctance.

Shi Huan responded, “When we get home, Aunt Wang will make you something delicious.”

“But you promised to let me eat it once a week.” Shi Luoluo pursed her little lips, seemingly a bit greedy.

“Your mother doesn’t allow you to eat these things, from now on, you can have it once a month.”

Unable to see the Pizza Hut anymore, Shi Luoluo withdrew her gaze, twisting her fingers anxiously.

Soon, the Cayenne drove into a somewhat old residential area.

Shi Huan took the child into a one-bedroom house. Upon opening the door, the sound of cooking and the rich aroma of food were already wafting from the kitchen.

Just as Shi Luoluo had put on her little slippers…

“Auntie Wang, I’m heading out. You remember to lock the door from the outside when you leave after cooking.”

“Okay, I know.”

“Huanhuan, where are you going?” Shi Luoluo immediately grabbed her clothes, her eyes full of anxiety.

“lam going to the hospital, I will be back tonight to accompany you.”

“But I’m scared being alone.”

“Don’t be scared, if you’re scared, call me, okay? Be good.” Shi Huan patted her little head, closed the door, and left.

Shi Luoluo pouted her mouth.

As far as she could remember, her parents seldom spent time with her.

Even her favorite Huanhuan was always busy.

Poor kid.

**

Buying and waiting for the food took quite a while. By the time Shi Huan arrived at the hospital, it was already past six in the evening.

As soon as she got out of the car, a familiar figure appeared from a red Mercedes in front of her.

It was Chu Jingyi.

There was another woman with her, both of them chatting and laughing. As they entered the staircase, the lighting swept over them, highlighting their delicate make-up and enticing figures, exuding the temperament of mature urban women.

Shi Huan stood for a while, making sure that the two women had entered the elevator, before she made her way over.

When she reached upstairs, as expected, she heard women’s voices coming from inside the room.

The door was not even closed properly.

“Ahuang, this is the Selina I mentioned to you last time. She’s a graduate from Harvard in America and has worked as an administrative secretary in Silicon Valley for five years. She is really good at brand PR, business partnerships, and market investment.”

“Doing what?” Chu Xiuhuang’s frivolous voice chimed in.

“Of course, to be your secretary. You see, your company is growing well now, and as your secretary, she naturally represents the image of your company. I know Shi Huan has been your secretary for five years, and you might be used to her way of working, but sometimes you need to look at the overall professionalism. Look at her appearance and dressing…”

“What about it?” Chu Xiuhuang interrupted, laughing lightly, “Does my secretary have a problem? Is there a problem with her look and dress?”

“Whether there’s a problem or not, you should know. The Shi Family is on its last legs now, you’ve done enough for them. I am only saying this for your own good…”

Chu Xiuhuang cut her off again, “Then you better spare the kindness for me, you’d do better to put that effort on to your son, and your ex-husband.”

“You…”

Knock Knock Knock.

All three turned around.

Shi Huan was standing at the door, expressionless. She lowered her left hand knocking on the door, the right hand holding a takeout bag, which contained at least seven to eight food boxes.

Chu Xiuhuang immediately said, “Alright, young master needs to eat. Sister, you can take this s… s what now?”

Selina awkwardly added, “Mr. Chu, I am Selina.”

“Selina, you can leave with my sister, and close the door on your way out. I don’t like to have outsiders around while I eat, I’m naturally shy.”

Selina:

Chu Jingyi: “…”

Shi Huan’s lips twitched slightly.
