Mo Weiyi took a deep breath, âI need some time to calm down.â
Xiao Yebai looked down at her with a calm gaze. After a few seconds, he sarcastically said, âTaking it out on the boys on the sports field?â
Mo Weiyi frowned, âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â
Xiao Yebaiâs eyes were dark, though his facial expressions remained unwavering.
âLing Zhizhou is my junior. Heâs a freshman, two years younger than me. Weâre just friends, and weâve only just met. Unlike you.â Mo Weiyi suddenly smiled cynically, âI havenât asked Ling Zhizhou to get my clothes for me.â
The manâs figure suddenly tightened, his voice cold and low, âMo Weiyi, I have explained this matter.â
Since their marriage, he rarely called her by her full name.
The last time seemed to be about Xiao Zhiwei.
This time, it was about Tian Ye.
Mo Weiyi suddenly felt suffocated, and words poured out from her lips.
âYes, youâve explained, but only after I forced you to. When I think about your attitude at that time, I feel uncomfortable, and I canât be happy. I think I need to calm down. For now, I will stay at school. Donât come looking for me again, because I wonât come home even if you do.â
With that, she turned and left.
This time, Xiao Yebai didnât stop her.
Mo Weiyi kept walking forward, step by step.
After what felt like countless steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around.
The school gate was empty.
The manâs figure had already disappeared.
Mo Weiyi smiled bitterly, then turned around and continued heading for the dormitory.
**
Lishui Bay Villa.
After receiving a call from Mo Weiyi, Aunt Zhou came to the second-floor dressing room to pack up clothes.
Just after she had picked out a few items of clothing, footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs.
Aunt Zhou quickly stood up and left the dressing room, âYoung master Xiao.â
Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes.
Aunt Zhou quickly returned to pulling the suitcase out, unnecessarily explaining, âYoung master Xiao, these are preparations that the princess asked me to make. She said she would be jogging every morning, so I prepared someâ¦â
âThereâs no need to report these minor matters to me.â Xiao Yebai interrupted coldly, and went toward his bedroom.
Aunt Zhou couldnât help but speak again, âYoung master Xiao.â
Xiao Yebai stopped in his tracks, his black eyes looking at her sternly.
Aunt Zhouâs heart was in a panic, but she still summoned the courage to ask, âIs the princess coming home tonight?â
Xiao Yebai didnât say a word.
âYoung master Xiao, didnât you say yesterday that the princess would be home tonight?â Aunt Zhou looked innocent, âIf the princess is coming home tonight, Iâll call Chef Chen, and let herâ¦â
âNo need.â Xiao Yebai interrupted again, his handsome face cold as he said in a low voice, âLet her stay as long as she wants.â
âHuh?â
Before Aunt Zhou could react, Xiao Yebai entered the bedroom and shut the door behind him.
Things have gotten really bad.
Aunt Zhou was at a loss.
Were the young couple really planning to separate?
**
In the afternoon, Aunt Zhou, bringing the suitcase, drove to Nancheng University.
While there, she helped clean up the dorm room.
After finishing everything, Aunt Zhou stepped out of the bathroom, looking at the little princess lying on the bed reading a book, she cautiously asked, âPrincess, did you quarrel with young master Xiao?â
Mo Weiyi squinted her beautiful cat eyes, her tone languid, âNo.â
Because Xiao Yebai would never argue with her.
Before or after their marriage, his attitude towards her remained indifferent and distant.
Except for his enthusiasm and dedication in bed, he hardly ever spoke to her in other matters. So how could he quarrel with her?
Mo Weiyi would actually like if he could argue with her, maybe then he could express his true feelings.
âPrincess, should I tell the old masterâ¦â
âNo.â Mo Weiyi interrupted sharply.
This was just between the two of them, but if her grandfather were to find out and get involved, it would end up like when they were young. She would be forced to give in under pressure.
Mo Weiyi didnât want this.
âAunt Zhou, I just want to focus on studying for my final exams, so I moved to the dormitory to live with Wanwan for a while. Donât overthink it, and donât tell my grandfather, understand?â
âOkay.â Aunt Zhou could only agree.
â¦
Not long after Aunt Zhou left, Su Wanwan also returned.
Mo Weiyi hurried to the neighboring dormitory, âBaby Wanwan, accompany me out for dinner.â
âI need to go back to the manor.â
âHuh?â Mo Weiyi wrinkled his little face, âWonât you accompany me to dinner then?â
âGrandmother asked me to come home for dinner.â
Today is the weekend, and Grandmother Huo had called specifically to say that she had caught several fresh carp from the Chu familyâs fish pond next door, and asked her to come and taste it.
She had indeed not returned to the compound for a while, so Su Wenwen found it hard to refuse.
Mo Weiyi pouted, âWhen will you come back then?â
âIâll be back after dinner.â
âAlright then.â Mo Weiyi finally felt relieved.
After Su Wanwan changed her clothes and left, Mo Weiyi returned to his dormitory to continue reading.
Not long after, his cellphone suddenly rang.
It turned out to be from Rong An, whom he hadnât been in contact with for a while.
As soon as the call connected, Rong An said, âPrincess, my injuries have healed, and the old master has ordered me to return.â
âBut I live on campus now.â
These days, Mo Weiyi had been living quite peacefully and didnât really need a bodyguard, besides, the last one had been sent back to the old house by him a long time ago.
Rong An immediately said, âIâll come to the campus and find you right now.â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
He originally wanted to refuse, but since Wanwan had gone back to the compound, there was no one to have dinner with himâ¦
âThen you come and have dinner with me.â
âAlright, Iâll be there soon.â
**
On the other hand, Su Wanwan took a taxi directly back to the compound.
As soon as Grandmother Huo saw her return alone, she naturally complained about her grandson, âWhy did you let her come back alone? Whatâs wrong with Ashen? He doesnât know how to cherish his wife, I need to give him a piece of my mind!â
Su Wanwan explained cheerfully, âGrandmother, itâs more convenient for me to come directly from school, so I didnât ask him to pick me up.â
In fact, she didnât inform Huo Jingshen at all.
She hadnât forgotten about the incident a few days ago when he secretly let Xiao Yebai take Mo Weiyi away behind her back.
Traitors must be punished!
Grandmother Huo laughed, âThe meal will be ready in a moment, have some strawberries first. They were just delivered this morning by Wang Zhengwei from next door, theyâre very sweet.â
âAlright.â Su Wanwan sat on the sofa.
As she watched the entertainment news on TV, she picked up a large strawberry and took a bite.
Um, it is indeed very sweet.
Before she had finished eating one, a sound of footsteps rang out.
Immediately after.
âMiss Su.â
Su Wanwanâs face sank.
Chu Jingyi?
Why does she encounter her every time she comes to the old house?
Like a lingering ghost.
Grandmother Huo also heard the voice and came out of the kitchen. Seeing Chu Jingyi, she hurriedly looked at her granddaughter-in-law on the sofa.
She couldnât help muttering in her heart, ordinarily she doesnât make such frequent visits, why does Chu Jingyi show up every time her granddaughter-in-law comes back? Is there an inside informant?
âGrandmother Huo.â Chu Jingyi was very enthusiastic, âOh, there are guests today. Thatâs great, my grandfather asked me to bring some crabs to supplement your meal.â
âSheâs your sister-in-law, not a guest.â Grandmother Huo firmed her face and spoke sternly.
Sister-in-law?
The smile on Chu Jingyiâs lips froze.
This yellow-haired girl was a full ten years younger than her and still a student. She hadnât even stepped into society yet and sheâs supposed to call her sister-in-law?
Grandmother Huo said seriously, âOf course, Ashen is the oldest among your generation, and all of you call him elder brother. So, naturally, Wenwen is your elder sister-in-law. Remember, donât address her as Miss Su anymore, remember to call her sister-in-law.â
Su Wenwen had already come over by this time. She smiled and locked arms with the old lady, âGrandma, it turns out my status is so high?â
âOf course, youâre our Huo familyâs eldest daughter-in-law. In the future, when you have a child, youâll be our Huo familyâs â¦â
âIs Jingshen here?â Chu Jingyi abruptly interrupted.
Grandmother Huo frowned, âWhat do you need with Ashen?â
Chu Jingyiâs red lips curved into a smile, âNothing much, I just have something I want to give him. Since heâs not here, Iâll find another opportunity to give it to him. Goodbye, Grandmother Huo.â
Without waiting for Grandmother Huo to reply, she turned around and left.
Grandmother Huo frowned deeply.
This Chu Jingyi, sheâs becoming less cute than when she was a child.
Seeing the slight discomfort on Su Wenwenâs face, she quickly explained, âWanwan, donât overthink it, she rarely comes over usually.â
In front of her elders, Su Wanwan, naturally wouldnât appear petty. She resumed her sweet smile, âGrandmother, I really didnât overthink, donât worry.â
Grandmother Huo didnât want to dwell on this topic anymore. She glanced at the TV and remarked, âOh, this actress looks quite familiar.â
