Because she was still on intravenous drip, she could only use one hand, which was very inconvenient.
The man furrowed his deep brows, showing a fleeting trace of impatience. He grabbed her hand and pulled it suddenly.
âAh!â
Mo Weiyi nearly fell over.
She quickly braced herself with both hands, looking somewhat startled and pale, âCanât you be more careful? What will you do if I put more pressure on you and it results in stomach bleeding? The doctor already said you shouldnât get agitated; you must mind your emotionsâ¦â
â¦
When it came to matters between men and women, Xiao Yebai was always assertive.
This was completely contrary to his outwardly appearance of a gentlemanly figure, always well-dressed and courteous.
In other words⦠he was a quietly debauched gentleman!
âNo touching allowed.â
The man narrowed his eyes, a suppressed resonant low voice reverberating. âWeiyi.â
âWhat?â
âCall me.â
âCall you what?â
âWhat did you use to call me?â
âXiaobai?â
âMm.â
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, âBut I donât want to call you Xiaobai anymore.â
âWhy?â
Xiao Yebai stared at her with his dark, deep eyes.
This eye contact made Mo Weiyiâs heart begin to race again. She whined somewhat petulantly, âYou donât call me âwifeâ.â
Xiao Yebai indeed hardly ever called her âwifeâ, typically addressing her as âWeiyiâ, and when he was angry, he would call her by her full name âMo Weiyiâ.
After a long pause, the man spoke softly, ââWeiyiâ sounds better.â
âDoes âXiaobaiâ sound good?â
The man glanced at her, his lips curling into a faint smile. âIâve become accustomed to it.â
Accustomed to it?
Mo Weiyi remembered that when he first entered the Mo family, he seemed to dislike the nickname Xiaobai.
But at that time, she thought the nickname âXiaobaiâ was easy to remember, and it rolled off the tongue, so she kept on using it.
Back then, she imperiously demanded that everyone in the Mo family, including Mr. Mo and Mo Yaoxiong, Xu Xian, could only call him âYebaiâ.
As for the servants, they referred to him as âYoung Master Xiaoâ.
Therefore, the nickname âXiaobaiâ was something only she, Mo Weiyi, could use.
âAll right then.â
She curled up her lips and slowly revealed a sweet smile, her voice soft as she called, âXiaobai.â
Hearing his familiar name, a weight seemed to be lifted from the depths of the manâs dark, deep eyes, his facial expression softened considerably.
Then he said, âFeed me some more porridge.â
Mo Weiyi:ââ¦Okay.â

When Su Wanwan and Huo Jingshen arrived at the hospital room, Aunt Zhou was tidying up the place. A currently popular romance TV drama was playing on the TV.
Mo Weiyi was engrossed in watching it, as for Xiao Yebai, when he saw someone enter, his gaze swept over them pretty indifferently and gave a slight nod.
It was his form of greeting.
Su Wanwan felt a gust of cold wind pass by and quickly grabbed onto her husbandâs sturdy arm.
This Xiao Yebai was really too cold. She really did not know how Mo Xiaose got along with him privately.
Huo Jingshen brought the fruit basket and roses.
All of which were carefully selected by Su Wanwan.
âThank you, Mr. Huo,â Mo Weiyi said with a sweet smile, then glanced at her own husband, âIâm sorry, heâs quite unwell and canât talk much. Please feel at home.â
It wasnât that he was intentionally being rude-
Xiao Yebai: ââ¦â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
Huo Jingshen chuckled, âIt must be hard on Miss Mo.â
âOh, itâs not a big deal.â Mo Weiyi had Aunt Zhou take the gifts away and gestured for the pair to sit down.
Su Wanwan looked at the TV, âWow, are you also into this show?â
âYeah, I saw it recommended on a public account. The show was addictive once I started watching.â
âYeah, I really canât stand that scum in there. Heâs always flirting with his female classmate.â
âThat kind of woman is a green tea bitch!â
âThe man isnât much better either!â
âIt takes two to tango!â
ââ¦â
The two women excitedly chatted about the plot, while the two men remained silent.
A while later, Huo Jingshen got up, âBabe, I need to go to the office. Call the driver later to come pick you up.â
âMr. Huo, Iâll take Wanwan home later.â Mo Weiyi immediately said.
Huo Jingshen gave the man on the bed a look, âDoesnât Miss Mo need to stay here with President Xiao?â
âNo need, Iâve got to go home and sleep for beauty rest at noon.â Mo Weiyi said this in a clear and straightforward manner.
Xiao Yebai: ââ¦â
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
All of a sudden, he felt a bit of sympathy for a certain patient.
He looked at the time, âBabe, Iâm leaving first.â
âOkay, go.â Su Wanwan sat there, immersing herself in the TV screen. She didnât even turn her head and had an impatient tone as if shooing away a fly.
Huo Jingshen frowned, reaching out to pull the little girl up, âGet up, see your husband off.â
âHey, why are you so annoying? Donât stop me from watching my show, eh, why are you pulling meâ¦â
Su Wanwan continued to grumble, but she was still dragged away.
The room door closed, and with roses in hand, Aunt Zhou said in a seemingly casual manner, âMs. Su and her husbandâs relationship seems to be very good.â
ââ¦â
