Chapter 372: A Beauty’s Smile Sways Everyone (Part One)

Men would compare themselves against other men in terms of their caliber, and while Bai Ye was a genius doctor, he still dabbled in viral research, although it was not the deepest. Whatever confounded him would confound many other virologists.

When he claimed 70% confidence, especially when men of their caliber said it, it meant in other words that the situation could be salvaged.

Bai Ye was extremely curious about this person’s actual caliber.

Let alone how the high-velocity magnetic wave gun was an eye-opener.

Su Man was resoundingly famous.

Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya had no opinion on that. Since a trip there did not take much time, not to mention there was a hope of a cure, they could not be even happier. With Ning Ning and Bai Ye’s arrangement, a plane was quickly prepared.

The organization’s affairs would be managed by Claude for the moment, and Bai Ye had the virologists in the research lab to continue research on the virus. Once they had a result, they were to immediately send it over so that Su Man did not have to do repeat work.

When everything was being orderly settled, Ye Wei, Eleven, and Mo Jue were not part of the plans. However, when the plane was about to take off, Ye Wei dragged Mo Jue up the plane. As Eleven and Ye Wei were inseparable, Eleven naturally boarded the plane.

Besides, it was only when Mo Jue was with them that they had the possibility of encountering Mo Ye.

“Auntie, what brings you there?” The young kid was extremely stifled. As it was a public secret that Ye Wei’s old flame was Su Man, wouldn’t bringing along an extremely jealous Mo Jue turn things upside down even more?

He wanted Su Man to focus on curing the virus his daddy and mommy carried in them.

“Why can’t I go? I have not talked to Su Man for a long time,” Ye Wei answered indignantly as she laughed alluringly. If it weren’t for the three men—Bai Ye, Third Young Master Ye, and Mo Jue—on the plane, she would have charmed them all.

Chitchat?

Everybody was skeptical at how titillating a regular conversation would get. Was she simply dreaming of being able to seduce Su Man?

Even though Ye Wei had an extremely gorgeous and yielding Mo Jue with her, her pining for Su Man left everybody baffled. Who was this Su Man that was so awesome to the point he still managed to charm Ye Wei?

Even the young kid, who was above all things, spoke of Su Man with admiration.

When one looked at Mo Jue earlier, he was stone-faced and seemed to be sticking to his guns. On second look, he was hugging Ye Wei tightly and seemed utterly hen-pecked as though he would agree to whatever his wife said.

This change was surely too huge, no?

Third Young Master Ye and Bai Ye gave Ye Wei a thumbs-up and shot Mo Jue a despising look at the same time. Bai Ye said, “Dear Brother Marshmallow, are you jealous?”

As Mo Jue hugged Ye Wei, he nodded vigorously. Based on the expression on his innocent face, he was clearly no longer jealous.

Third Young Master Ye once again shot a despising look. To yield to this degree was really unseen. He did not even yield to Miss Cheng as much. To occasionally keep Miss Cheng in suspense gave Third Young Master Ye quite a kick.

Cheng Anya also gave her a thumbs-up and said, “You sure know how to tame your husband. Do impart a move or two when you can.”

“Sure, that’s no problem. Third brother’s obedience toward you is guaranteed.”

Third Young Master Ye quickly pulled Miss Cheng over and broke into an extremely scheming smile. “Dear Anya, haven’t I been good enough toward you? What kind of ‘husband-taming’ shenanigans are you learning, huh? Tell me what you are unsatisfied with and I’ll immediately correct them.”

The young kid shuddered and went to a side with Bai Ye.

As Eleven raised her eyebrows, Ye Wei smiled and said, “That’s a lot of jealousy at work. Dear brother, what did you have for lunch? There’s no need to be so threatening, and I’m sure third sister-in-law will dote on you even more and be gentler toward you when you are as yielding as Marshmallow.”

Third Young Master Ye shot Ye Wei a judging glance. If he were as innocent as Mo Jue, he could expect Miss Cheng to bully him even more than Ye Wei could. That was something he did not want. Fellow men had to preserve their face.

Besides, he ought to save the effort as he could not feign Mo Jue’s innocent look.

“Indeed. My thoughts too.” Miss Cheng felt that the statement was extremely reasonable. As she saw Mo Jue like this, she secretly thought that Third Young Master Ye being like Mo Jue would be thrilling.

“Come, be a good boy and show me your smiling face,” Miss Cheng said as she hooked Third Young Master Ye’s chin and openly teased him.

The corners of Third Young Master Ye’s lips twitched.

Her looseness was exactly the same as Ye Wei’s. Birds of the same feather surely flock together. He felt that he had to keep his own wife several arms’ length away from this sister lest she corrupt his wife.

Ye Wei laughed and leaped into Mo Jue’s embrace. Even Eleven could not help but break into a slight smile.

The young kid covered his eyes innocently and said in a childlike manner, “Mommy, why are you so X-rated? It’s not children-friendly. You have to take care of your darling child’s innocent mind too.”

Everybody was stunned into silence.

Innocent?

If he wanted to be innocent, why still dabbled around with the dark side?

Bai Ye broke into a confident smile and succinctly judged the situation. “Women are too terrifying to be around.”

“I feel you.” The young kid tapped Bai Ye’s shoulders hard and expressed his sympathy. “They are indeed too terrifying, and I mourn for your future.”

Bai Ye, Chu Li and company who were long bullied by Ye Wei and Eleven were already mentally prepared, but seeing how Miss Cheng could so evilly tease made them even more certain that women were extremely terrifying.

Bai Ye tapped the young kid’s shoulders in response to express his sympathy. He said, “I mourn for the you in twenty years to come.”

“Save it, that won’t be necessary.” The young kid smiled. As the person who won him over was lost, his heart was a void. As long as Nuo Nuo remained in his heart for the rest of his life, he could do without other women. He didn’t need any to corrupt him.

While Miss Cheng and Third Young Master Ye were joking, they overheard the young kid’s words and felt their hearts hung heavy. They did not know what to tell the young kid and merely looked at him deeply.

The others, who had yet to recall Nuo Nuo, still joked about. Since Third Young Master Ye and they all were family, they were already extremely familiar with each other and Bai Ye doted on the young kid too. While Bai Ye was a cold person, he, however, grew up with Ye Wei, Eleven and company and hence had deep ties with them. They were able to talk to Third Young Master Ye, and the atmosphere still felt warm as if nobody was the slightest worried about the virus.

As everybody present was able to look past their feelings, it was impossible to stoke feelings even if one wanted to.

Eleven was extremely curious and asked, “Dear Marshmallow, why did you allow Wei Wei to go to Riyadh? Aren’t you afraid that Su Man would elope with your wife?”

Ye Wei kicked her. When did that block of ice learn to watch her antics! She deserved a beating! Eleven was in her typical coldness and ignored Ye Wei’s protests. She felt that she had nothing to lose when watching their antics.

Not to mention her curiosity, even Bai Ye, Miss Cheng, Third Young Master Ye, and Little Young Master Ye were extremely curious. Several pairs of eyes were on Mo Jue.

Mo Jue blinked and honestly replied, “My wife said that Su Man is not as good-looking as me. She gave up on Su Man instead of giving up on me. I was the first.”

Everybody was stunned into silence.

Even an ice-cold person like Eleven was also stunned, let alone Cheng Anya and company.

Dear Wei Wei, how could you even say this! You sure are… badass!

“Dear Brother Marshmallow, Wei Wei is lying to you—this, I vouch with my character. Look at how hollow and insincere her words are, not to mention how she gets excited when she hears Su Man’s name. Could you even believe that?” Bai Ye, after many years of oppression, had a golden opportunity to turn the tables, said. He had no qualms watching the world burn.

The young kid was as skeptical.

Mo Jue’s purple eyes were lost for a moment. He looked at how everybody else nodded, then at Ye Wei. As he pulled Ye Wei’s sleeve, he asked, “Wifey, would you lie to me?”

“I would not,” Ye Wei calmly replied.

Mo Jue was content and looked at everybody else with a bragging glance. He said, “Wifey said she would not lie to me. Don’t you dare to drive a wedge between us.”

Eleven’s eyes twitched. How could Ye Wei groom Mo Jue to such an extent? This was extremely rare!

The young kid broke into an extremely happy smile.

As fellow men, Bai Ye admired Mo Jue that tad more.

Third Young Master Ye collapsed into laughter on Cheng Anya’s shoulders. He was too cute.

Miss Cheng remained extremely calm. When Mo Jue warned them against driving a wedge, his expression was over-the-top innocent like a rabbit.

“Wei Wei, that was a masterstroke of yours,” Cheng Anya said.

“Third sister-in-law, that’s an overstatement.”

As the two women looked at each other and burst into laughter, Miss Cheng took a glance at Third Young Master Ye. A chill ran down Third Young Master Ye’s back and he felt unusually conflicted. His dear Anya had several mean jokes of her own. Having her eyes on him meant that he was absolutely dead meat.

“Dear Anya, stop imagining those weird images. I am not like him.” Third Young Master Ye immediately clarified.

Though Mo Jue embodied the classic hen-pecked man, he was no men’s role model.

Ye Wei smiled and said, “Third brother, our Mo Jue is way more innocent than you and we could really use his innocence that bit more. He is innocent, be it in his character or looks.”

That was an absolute truth.

Miss Cheng broke into an even gentler smile. “Your brother has no idea what innocence is.”

The young kid also chimed in and said, “Mommy, if you are feeling unsatisfied, you can also try to get involved. Su Man is not too bad. He is gorgeous.”

“Watch out before I kill you.” If Third Young Master Ye could hit somebody, he would have dope-slapped the young kid. Ye Wei wanted to say that Beautiful Su belonged to her, but she cleverly kept it to herself on account of Mo Jue’s innocent face.

As he saw his fellow men who were oppressed, Bai Ye emoted about how being single was good—all things were bright and beautiful.

“Wifey, what are you talking about?” Mo Jue innocently asked.

Cheng Anya suddenly said, “Wei Wei, I suddenly agree with what you said. Mo Jue definitely looks better than Su Man, and somebody with such looks should top the world.”

As there could only be one person who topped the world, she had never seen anyone as beautiful as Mo Jue. If he were a woman, he would give people the impression that he was a beauty incarnate. His clear purple eyes were even more charming.

Even if he were as innocent as a slate, he could not stand up to that gorgeous smile of hers.

Ye Wei did not express her opinion but merely chuckled.

“Dear Anya, how dare you praise other men. Are you tired of living?” Third Young Master Ye squinted and reached out to mess with his hair. He was in jealousy mode.

Miss Cheng tapped his head and ruefully said, “Ah Chen, we must be honest.”

‘You are definitely nowhere like Mo Jue. Just admit it.’

The young kid stroked his chin, deep in thought. He said, “I am curious as to how Su Man looks like. Auntie, is he really that gorgeous?”

“Ask Eleven.” Ye Wei waved her hand confidently. She was keeping silent as long as Mo Jue was around.

Eleven looked at Mo Jue and made a very politically correct reply. “To each their own.”

“Then, he should be a beauty incarnate.” The young kid laughed.

Cheng Anya suddenly saw the jade pendant on the young kid. She was extremely curious and asked, “Ning Ning, what are you wearing? Is it a jade pendant?”

Wasn’t that something that girls typically wore? Her son was not one who would normally wear these things.

The young kid showed a smile while his hurt quickly flashed past and he quickly returned to normal. He was about to answer when Mo Jue helped him answer the question. “It belongs to Nuo Nuo.”

The atmosphere felt a bit heavy.

Ye Wei and company actually knew what happened while Cheng Anya and Third Young Master Ye did not.

The young kid put back the jade pendant which he accidentally revealed back in and seemed calm. One could see the slightest sadness and desperation in him. It was many years later that Cheng Anya realized when she recalled the scene.

There was a calm that was akin to stagnant water.

“It looks really good,” Cheng Anya flatly said as Third Young Master Ye held her hand tightly.

The young kid broke into a smile. He said, “Yes, I think it looks pretty good too.”

As he saw them happily talking to each other, he really missed Nuo Nuo and had sleepless nights for fear of dreaming of her when he fell asleep. He would only jolt awake to grasp at the regret in the air and remained awake.

He had expressed these emotions too young and early, and they were deeply etched in his heart.

As time passed, these memories became even clearer. The etched memories were gradually sealed and could not be removed. These memories would follow him for the rest of his life, and he would guard them without regret.

Bai Ye tapped the young kid’s shoulders and everybody fell silent. It was Third Young Master Ye who tapped the table and said, “Didn’t I get you to bring an idiot home earlier? If you run into a tough nut, stay as far as you can. Now, look at how you’ve gotten into trouble.”

Miss Cheng went silent.

Bai Ye laughed. This lesson was a tad too early.

The young kid put his hands together, forming a seemingly worshipping pose. He said, “Oh all-powerful and all-able daddy, your darling child will follow your teachings to the last word and not make the same mistake again.”

Everybody broke into laughter.

As the atmosphere livened up, Cheng Anya laughed and did not say anything else. Her heart was extremely aching. As she saw how he was forcing a smile, her heart wrenched.

As they laughed and joked, they reached Riyadh. The plane landed on a private parking apron. The garden was extremely spacious like an oasis. There were date palm trees that were widely spaced out and a dense patch of palm trees. There was an intricate fountain in the middle of the courtyard and various flowers and plants in the typically lush courtyard. While the mansion seemed slightly old, they emanated a heavy sense of history. Gorgeous crystal lamps in the shape of lotus petals hung above the winding corridors, with vines covering the walls. Greenery was all around the place.

The maidservants who welcomed them were adorned in plain black robes that covered their heads. It was how typical Arabian women dressed. The maidservants led them to the hall.

Ye Wei happily waved at them and sent them into fits of laughter. One of them replied in English,” Master ought to have a headache this time.”

Although summer in Riyadh was scorching hot, the great hall was cool. Bai Ye keenly observed that the walls were sculpted from ice jade. While there was no observable difference, the walls were ice-cold to the touch. This was a special design that was in place to reduce the summer heat.

It was out of the box.

“All the walls are sculpted from ice-jade. Boy, they are rich,” Ye Wei and Eleven used to stay here for a very long time and were extremely familiar with the place. Ye Wei helped herself to the fruits on the table to quench her thirst.

Summer in Riyadh was unbearably hot. Once they alighted from the plane, the heat leaped at them and parched their mouths.

Not too long later, the maidservants served iced beverages and fruit desserts. As they were also very familiar with Ye Wei and Eleven’s preferences, they even thoughtfully prepared two glasses of blue-green fruit beverages for them.

Ye Wei said in Arabic, “I didn’t expect Sister Dana to still remember my favorite beverages. I’m really touched.”

Dana smiled and said, “Master is receiving Her Highness The Seventh Princess. He will be over here in a moment.”

“Is she good-looking?” Ye Wei was clearly gossiping. If she made a visit, she was definitely throwing herself into his arms. Ye Wei witnessed something even more shocking last year.

Dana’s wide eyes were full of laughter. She said, “Not as good-looking as you.”

Ye Wei was pleased.

Sister Dana was really too generous.

Bai Ye shook his head and jabbed her shoulder. He said, “Does anybody else in your family understand Arabic?”

One had to calm the harem before hitting on somebody.

Lest the harem revolt.

Ye Wei had forgotten that and told Mo Jue in Arabic, “Dear Marshmallow, my drink tastes terrible. Let’s exchange.”

Mo Jue obediently swapped his drink with Ye Wei. Ye Wei suddenly stopped him and said, “That won’t be necessary. I am feeling extremely thirsty all of a sudden.”

Since people could understand her, Ye Wei was feeling conflicted.

The young kid smiled and explained what happened to Cheng Anya. Save her, everybody else understood Arabic. Cheng Anya was not as badass as them. She only understood English, Japanese, and French.

Not too long later, somebody outside shouted ‘master’. A tall and svelte figure, with his back against the sun and donning a white robe, strode into the crowd. He had a mild yet gentle halo around him.

He emanated holiness that could not be desecrated.

Cheng Anya’s first impression was that he was indeed Beautiful Su!

There was only a single thought on everybody’s minds.

A beauty’s smile sways everyone.
