Zhan Yao paused, then said, âMaybe itâs an occupational habit, I just went on and looked it up.â
On a whim, Mo Weiyi asked, âSo, did you investigate me too?â
Zhan Yao burst into laughter, âLittle Princess, your life is too innocent.â
Did that mean there was no need to check on her?
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
After a while, she said, âTian Ye is indeed pathetic, but thatâs not a valid excuse to be a mistress.â
âI didnât expect Little Princess to have such a strong moral compass, is it that all females studying law like you have such a clear distinction between love and hate?â Zhan Yao was laughing off the matter.
âI donât know about others, but as for me, if anyone dares to covet my husband, I wonât let her have an easy time.â
Zhan Yao on the other end of the phone felt a sudden chill on his back.
He suddenly felt that the Little Princess, who seemed soft and weak on the surface, might not be as innocent and harmless at heart.
After all, sheâs the daughter of the Mo Family. Back in the day, the old Mr. Mo managed to survive among so many competitors and became the most powerful one.
As the saying goes, âa tiger father has no dog sonsâ.
Although Mo Yaoxiong was a disappointment, could it be inherited every other generation?
Instead, it was Mo Weiyi who took up the mantle of Old Mr. Mo?
Itâs hard to say.
**
After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi came out of the bathroom to see that Xiao Yebai was out of bed and even changed out of his hospital clothes.
âWhy are you changing clothes?â
Xiao Yebai replied calmly, âDidnât you ask me to bring you a gift?â
âAh?â Mo Weiyi stared blankly.
âLetâs go.â Xiao Yebai said, picking up his cellphone from the table.
âWhere to?â
âYou will know once we get there.â
âBut your healthâ¦â
âItâs not a problem.â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
Again, itâs not a problem.
She wasnât at ease, so before leaving, she specifically asked the doctor for advice.
After making sure it was safe to go out, she followed Xiao Yebai out of the hospital with peace of mind.
Rong An was already waiting downstairs. After getting in the car, Xiao Yebai mentioned a place.
âSinuoke Racecourse.â
Mo Weiyi turned her head to look at the elegant and indifferent man, âRacecourse?â
Xiao Yebai nodded.
Going to the racecourse for Valentineâs Day?
Mo Weiyi felt somewhat at a loss.
However, this was the first time Xiao Yebai had taken the initiative to plan a Valentineâs Day activity since they met.
Upon thinking of this, Mo Weiyi suddenly had no complaints. She leaned against the man, rested her cheek on his chest, and said with a soft, coquettish voice, âHave you prepared a surprise for me?â
Xiao Yebai looked at her, his hand touching her dark curly hair, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, âWhat surprise do you want?â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
That sounds like thereâs no surprise.
Forget it!
She half closed her cat-like eyes, âIâm a bit tired, call me when we get there.â
âOkay.â
After the incident last night, despite being a false alarm, since Rong Anâs investigation turned up nothing, Mo Weiyi felt uneasy and had restless thoughts all night.
Living for twenty years, she always found her life very simple. Apart from Xiao Yebai, it seemed that nothing could cause her any worries or anxieties.
Yet, recently as she learned more and more, she suddenly realized that her life was so simple and smooth because many things were hidden from her.
Like last night, it was clearly a premeditated attempt; it couldnât possibly be an accident.
Given this, there could be other moves on the way.
And Mo Weiyi had no idea who she had offended.
This feeling of being in the light while her enemy laid in the dark was utterly unpleasant.
**
Meanwhile.
In an old courtyard in the southern part of the city, Ling Zhizhou questioned the person on the other end of the phone, âWas it you who arranged last nightâs incident?â
âSo what if it was, and what if it wasnât?â
âDidnât I tell you? Youâre not allowed to touch her, this matter has nothing to do with you, neither do I need your help, youâre not allowed to make any moves, do you hear me?â
âHeh.â A ghostly laugh came from the man, âBut the game has already started.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âThe Mo family offended too many people in the past, not just your Ling family. You should learn to use others to your advantage, young man.â The man ended the call after saying that.
Ling Zhizhou squeezed his phone tightly, his handsome face growing stiff.
The man had just sent over a piece of news. Although he finished reading it just as it was deleted, his intention was clear.
He wanted Ling Zhizhou to see what he was capable of.
A few minutes later, Ling Zhizhou dialed Mo Weiyiâs number.
The phone rang a few times before being picked up, and Mo Weiyiâs slightly tired voice came through, âWhatâs up?â
âSister, happy holiday.â Ling Zhizhouâs voice was clear and cheerful.
Mo Weiyi laughed on the other end, âAre you referring to the Spring Festival, or Valentineâs Day?â
âBoth.â
âHappy holidays to you too.â
Ling Zhizhou laughed, and asked casually, âSenior, are you okay? A classmate sent me a post earlier, and only then did I find out you had some trouble last night.â
âItâs okay, those were all speculations made by the reporters.â
âOh, thatâs good. I was quite worried about you after I saw it, so I called to ask. I hope Xiao didnât misunderstand?â
âHe wouldnât.â
Ling Zhizhou nodded, âOh right, the final exam results are out, Senior, have you checked your grade yet?â
âI didnât know, are they out already? In that case, Iâll check later.â
âOkay, remember to tell me once youâve checked.â
âSure.â
**
In the car, Mo Weiyi hung up the call, and instantly logged into Nancheng Universityâs exam system on his phone.
He was so nervous that he even entered the password incorrectly.
After hardly inputting the correct password, they entered a tunnel, and the signal became poor.
Such a nuisance.
Finally, when the car left the tunnel, Mo Weiyi quickly lowered the car window in excitement.
His continuous movements caught Xiao Yebaiâs attention, âWhat are you doing?â
Mo Weiyi didnât look back, âThe final exam results are out, Iâm checking my grades.â
The manâs eyebrows twitched slightly.
He watched as Mo Weiyi gripped his phone towards the window with an especially nervous look.
As time ticked away, finally, Mo Weiyi put down his phone and turned to look at him.
Xiao Yebai slightly raised an eyebrow, âWhat happened?â
As expected, Mo Weiyi pouted, with a wronged expression, âI didnât do well.â
Xiao Yebaiâs lips curled up, âWhat rank?â
Mo Weiyi replied, âThe tenthâ¦â
Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow.
ââ¦one.â
Xiao Yebai: ââ¦â
Tenthâ¦one?
Mo Weiyi was truly frustrated.
She had really tried her best, so why was her English grade ranked eleventh in the class?
There were only thirty students in the Law program, so ranking tenth was not difficult.
During the last two months, she had literally spent every day cramming her English textbook.
Especially during the last month, due to the cold war between her and Xiao Yebai, she had almost spent every waking hour memorizing those few questions.
And yet, she finished eleventh.
Just one rank short!
It couldnât be more dramatic than this.
Xiao Yebai seemed to be comforting her, âTry harder next time.â
Mo Weiyi did not answer.
Especially when she asked Su Wanwan and found out that she was ranked third in the class.
Wellâ¦
Mo Weiyi felt the blow was too heavy!
It wasnât until the car stopped in front of the Sinuoke Racecourse in the outskirts of Nancheng that Mo Weiyiâs mood improved slightly, watching the blue sky and white clouds outside.
Oh well, sheâll try harder next time.
**
After getting off the car, and entering, Xiao Yebai directly took her small hand.
There seemed to be few couples coming to the racecourse to celebrate Valentineâs Day.
Moreover, the temperature in Nancheng was a bit low today, so there were even fewer customers.
But this also made their trip easier since both of them were half-famous in Nancheng because of their good looks.
Mo Weiyi was looking around while walking.
This was her first time coming to such a place, and she found it quite novel.
After passing through a tall stone gate, there was an endless, neatly trimmed lawn.
Despite it being the cold winter month of February, the lawn was still lush green. The strong scent of fresh grass mixed with the blue sky and white clouds, conveying a sense of desolate beauty.
Xiao Yebai led her all the way forward, eventually arriving at the in-built mall inside.
He lowered his head to look at the girl beside him, âBuy clothes.â
âHorse riding clothes?â Mo Weiyiâs eyes lit up.
âYes.â
âThen, should we get matching ones?â Mo Weiyi immediately proposed.
After all, itâs Valentineâs Day, there should be some sense of occasion.
Xiao Yebai looked at her radiant face, nodded, and let her choose.
Mo Weiyi ran around, finally choosing a pair of black and red-coloured matching horse riding outfits.
The menswear was naturally predominantly black, and the womenâs mainly red, but the design was exactly the same. After seeing buyersâ reviews, Mo Weiyi felt that they would look even better in them.
After paying with her card, Mo Weiyi, clutching her clothes, looked at him coyly, âBut I donât know how to ride a horse. Will you teach me later?â
âDidnât you just ride a couple of days ago?â
Upon his remark, Mo Weiyi was in confusion, âWhen did I?â
The man didnât answer.
