Chapter 489: Chapter 488: 488, Is Xiao Yebai made of iceberg?

Xiao Yebai immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed Mo Weiyi’s arm, and pulled hard.

“Ah!” Mo Weiyi winced in pain as he was yanked towards him.

The man’s gaze was icy cold, “We have something to discuss, Miss Su.”

“Got it.”

As soon as Su Wanwan said this subconsciously, she felt slightly taken aback.

So, she instantly blurted out, “You jerk! If you dare to hurt Weiyi, I will not let you go! You better not bully Weiyi, you hear me?”

With that, she didn’t wait for his response, turned around, and sprinted away.

She even considerately closed the door behind her.

Xiao Yebai: “….”

**

Back in her dormitory, Su Wanwan touched her pounding heart.

My god, is Xiao Yebai really made of ice?

Couldn’t he at least give her a smile?

After knowing him for ten years, does he not understand basic human courtesy?

Her husband is so much better!

So, when Huo Jingshen’s call came through, she immediately answered, cooing sweetly, “Honey.”

“…”

There was a pause on the other end, then, “What is it, spent all your living allowance already?”

Su Wanwan rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Every time she affectionately called him husband, he would come up with a comment like this. Did he think she was some sort of gold-digger?

“Yeah, I’m out of money. Send me a red packet.”

Huo Jingshen chuckled softly, “How much?”

“10,000 would be just enough, 100,000 won’t be too much.” Su Wanwan instantly responded.

Yum, that sounds delicious.

Who knew…

“Nope.”

Su Wanwan’s face fell instantly, “Stingy!”

Forgot to mention, her husband was perfect in every way, except when it came to money he was incredibly tight-fisted!

The next second.

“10,000 if you come out for dinner with me.”

“Sure!” Su Wanwan agreed immediately as she was incredibly hungry.

“I’m at the school gate, come over.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

What the hell, at the school gate?

Was he doing this on purpose?

But thinking about those two next door…

Nevermind.

Just go out for dinner with someone, hoping the situation next door would end in one or two hours. Maybe she would have to sleep alone tonight.

With that thought, Su Wanwan quickly put down her bag, walked over to the mirror, and took a look at herself.

Her eyebrows were as delicate as a painting, her skin was fair and glowing, her long, seaweed-like hair was black and thick, she truly was a beauty!

Su Wanwan grinned at herself as she dabbed on her lip gloss, then grabbed her keys and phone and headed out to meet her date.

**

Meanwhile, the room next door to hers was enveloped in silence.

Xiao Yebai locked the door, turned around, and found that Mo Weiyi was looking at him with intense focus, “What are you doing here?”

Xiao Yebai’s lips pulled into a thin line, “I came to take you home.”

“I said before that I won’t return home before my exams.”

“Why not?” Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, “A Cold War?”

He remembered quite clearly what Su Wanwan had told him on the phone last night.

They had agreed on a Cold War?

Hmm.

Mo Weiyi nodded, “Yes, I need some time to myself.”

“What do you need time for?”

“Because I suddenly realized, I don’t know if there’s a place for me, your wife, in your heart.”

“What do you mean?”

Looking at his taut face, Mo Weiyi chuckled slightly, “You still don’t understand?”

She took a deep breath, and slowly said, “You know that I never take off my wedding ring. You don’t remember our wedding anniversary. Every time there’s a holiday, I’m the one who gives you gifts. If I don’t remind you, you’ll forget to give me a gift.

We’ve known each other for ten years, and have been married for two. But you don’t even know what my favorite dish is. Whenever we have a disagreement, I’m always the one who apologizes first, and makes it up to you. This time I didn’t, and you didn’t come looking for me. If I hadn’t moved out to the dormitory, would you have pretended as if nothing had happened?

Other than when we’re making love, I really can’t see your passion for me. What’s the difference between how you treat me and how you treat other women?

Xiao Yebai, do you really consider me your wife?”

The man’s face grew cold, his jaw clenched, his lips pressed into an unyielding line, those eyes of his staring straight at her, yet he said nothing.

Mo Weiyi decided to be straightforward, “The last time you visited, I asked you why you came. You didn’t tell me your reasons then. So tonight, can you tell me why you came? Could it be…”

She laughed at herself, “You want to take me back for your favorite activity again?”

“So, in your heart, you have so many complaints against me.” Xiao Yebai finally spoke.

Hearing this, Mo Weiyi’s self-deprecating laughter grew louder.

She looked at the man before her. Outwardly, he was always impeccably dressed, cold, and aristocratic.

Regardless of the season, he always wore clothes of various dark hues. When it was cold, he would add dark clothes on top.

She used to think that made him look sophisticated, even sexless. Flirting with him gave her a sense of achievement.

But now it seemed that it was just because he was cold by nature, no warmth, no emotion.

“Xiao Yebai, do you like me?” Mo Weiyi blurted out.

The man looked at her, his eyes behind the plain glasses narrowing almost imperceptibly.

Mo Weiyi stayed silent.

Holding her breath, waiting for his answer.

But…

As time passed, he remained silent, and the tension and anticipation in her heart slowly cooled down.

Until it finally settled into a silent calm.
