You could get a massage, skin care, and a beauty treatment all in one place.
It also happens to be Mo Weiyiâs favorite spot.
But to her surprise, when she reported the location, Mo Weiyi responded, âCan we choose another place?â
âWhy change locations?â Su Wanwan asked in the group chat.
Mo Weiyi sent a blushing face, one of the standard emojis available on WeChat.
Su Wanwan didnât understand at all, âWhat does that mean?â
Mo Weiyi then sent another standard WeChat emoji, a face with sweat.
Su Wanwan found this even more puzzling.
What was going on with her?
She always liked to use those cute Korean child-like emojis, things like Quan Luâer, Song Minguo and so forthâ¦
Why was she suddenly acting like Huo Jingshen, sending the default WeChat emojis?
After a good while, Mo Weiyi finally sent a message, âIâll come see you guys in the afternoon.â
âAlright.â

Back at the old Moâs house.
After sending the WeChat message, Mo Weiyi logged out of her account.
The moment she put the black business phone away, a manâs large hand grabbed her small one.
Mo Weiyiâs heart skipped a beat.
The man had fair skin, distinct knuckles, slender and elegant handsâhis large hand could almost completely envelop her small one.
This action seemed a lot like the most intimate, most affectionate gesture between lovers.
â¦
â¦
â¦
Mo Weiyi thought, werenât they supposed to be cold towards each other? How did things escalate to this point?
âWeiyi.â
The manâs voice brought Mo Weiyi back to reality.
âDo you know who I am?â he asked.
Moving her lips, Mo Weiyi remained silent.
Xiao Yebaiâs face suddenly darkened.
It was like this again.
Lately, she hadnât called him âXiaobaiâ, even in front of elders.
âMo Weiyi.â
His voice, angry and authoritative, was barely above a whisper, âSay my name.â
Mo Weiyi kept silent.
She had no idea why, but she just didnât feel like complying.
âMo Weiyi? Donât you want to go out today?â
Finally, Mo Weiyi opened her eyes.
Because she knew.
He was really capable of doing it.
Even though he maintained the well-educated gentleman image, she felt that only these instances revealed his true self.
âWhy do you want me to call your name?â Mo Weiyi looked at him, her heart trembling slightly.
Xiao Yebai curled his lips, a wicked smile on his handsome face.
He said, âI want to hear it.â
Only she would call him Xiaobai.
No matter the past or present, others would call him Yebai, Xiao Yebai, Mr. Xiao, CEO Xiaoâ¦
Only Mo Weiyi, she would always sweetly call him Xiaobai.
Mo Weiyi blinked her eyes, asking again, âBut why do you want to hear it?â
Xiao Yebaiâs dark eyes slightly shifted, a faint smile still clinging to his mouth, âIâm used to it.â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
Used to it?
Indeed.
He was used to having her cling to him, used to hearing her call him Xiaobai. It had only been a few days of not hearing it; was he so unable to handle it?
Getting used to things is wonderful.
But also terrifying.
Terrifying to the pointâ¦
That Xiao Yebai, a rational and calm man, could suddenly lose his composure.
âBe a good girl, say my name,â Xiao Yebai spoke up again.
He was eagerly waiting to hear those familiar two characters from Mo Weiyiâs mouth.
Whoâd have thoughtâ¦
Mo Weiyi opened her mouth, but said instead, âI donât want to.â
Hearing this, Xiao Yebaiâs black eyes narrowed seriously, he asked lowly, âWhy not?â
âNo reason, I just donât want to,â Mo Weiyi turned her face away, her eyes half-closed, her tone tired, âIâve been calling it for ten years, Iâm tired.â
