Mo Weiyi grabbed his wrist, “No, I need to go ask that flower shop owner why he allowed a child to deceive me…”
“Forget it.” Xiao Yebai just wheeled his chair towards the side of the road, “Didn’t you say it was only a hundred bucks?”
“Yeah, but just because it’s a hundred bucks doesn’t mean they can deliberately deceive me!”
“They probably saw your fancy dress and, seeing they’d never met you before, got a little greedy.”
“So, it’s my fault again?” Mo Weiyi looked wronged. “Is there something wrong with me dressing pretty? Didn’t I do it just for you?”
“…That’s not what I meant.” Xiao Yebai responded lightly.
Mo Weiyi hummed, upset.
She had only wanted to help but got inexplicably cheated in the process. Despite it not being a significant amount of money, it really affected her mood.
When they got back to the villa, she didn’t have the heart to arrange the flowers. She asked the servant to place them in a vase and then sat on the living room couch in a daze.
Xiao Yebai had gone to his study.
Until her phone suddenly rang.
It was her grandmother, living in the south of the city, who called.
The old lady was not in great health and kept to herself, but she seemed happy and said that she’d got some fresh papayas for her. They should arrive later.
Mo Weiyi reluctantly coughed a few times, glanced at the closed study door, and quietly said, “Grandma, I don’t think that will help.”
Grandma chuckled, “Eating papaya is good for a woman’s body. Your body is too weak, you should nourish it. If you really want to develop your chest, you’ll have to wait until you get pregnant. You will get bigger whether you want to or not.”
Pregnancy.
Pregnancy again.
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips and suddenly thought about the incident in the hospital bathroom a few days ago. It had happened so suddenly that Xiao Yebai didn’t use protection. Afterward, she seemed to forget about taking meds.
Although he had helped her clean up, but… could there be any that slipped away?
Mo Weiyi started to feel a little excited.
If she really could get pregnant and have a baby, she hoped it would be a boy who looks just like Xiaobai.
She would give him a good life from the moment he was born, and the most complete love. He wouldn’t have to go through the hardships that Xiaobai had to suffer before he was fifteen.
“Yiyi.” Grandma’s voice sounded, “There’s one more thing, your aunt came back.”
“Really?” Mo Weiyi arched a delicate eyebrow, not interested.
She and her aunt’s family were not close, mainly because they had emigrated abroad a long time ago.
When her mother passed away, her aunt’s family had come to inquire, but afterward… there was nothing.
“She and Yunyao visited me today.” The old lady chattered on. “She has also had her fair share of struggles over the years, and now she divorced her husband.
In a few days when the weather’s better, I’ll have your father call everyone for a get-together…”
“We’ll see.”
Mo Weiyi was still thinking about getting pregnant. She barely heard what her grandmother was saying.
After finally ending the call, she hung up the phone and immediately yelled, “Xiaobai, Xiaobai!”
The door to the study opened, and Xiao Yebai walked out, “What’s wrong?”
“Heehee.” Mo Weiyi smiled slyly. “Bring me that photo album.”
“What photo album?”
“The photo album I found in your room on my seventeenth birthday. It has pictures of you when you were young and also has pictures of your dad and mom.”
“What do you need that for?” Xiao Yebai asked indifferently.
“Just show it to me.” Mo Weiyi cooed.
She especially wanted to see what Xiaobai looked like when he was young….
“I can’t find it. When I do, I’ll show it to you.” Xiao Yebai’s tone remained the same.
Mo Weiyi pouted, “How can you not find it? Isn’t that a very important thing for you?”
She remembered that when she had peeked at it, she hadn’t been able to see it clearly before Xiao Yebai had snatched it back from her. He had been so upset that he didn’t talk to her for an entire week…
Of course, she was the one who was in the wrong first.
“It might have got lost during the move.” After finishing his sentence, Xiao Yebai asked the servant coming out from the kitchen, “Aunt Jiang, is dinner ready?”
“…” Aunt Jiang was taken aback for a moment. “Almost, there’s only the soup left now. It’ll be ready in a moment.”
“Let’s get ready for dinner.” Xiao Yebai lifted Mo Weiyi up and went into the dining room.
Aunt Jiang glanced at the clock.
Um, she recalled Mr. Xiao had just mentioned to have dinner later when he entered the house, and now…
**
After dinner, Mo Weiyi returned to the living room. She wanted to read a book, but she couldn’t find it anywhere.
“Aunt Jiang!” Mo Weiyi called out, “Where’s the book I left on the couch?”
“It might have been picked up by Mr. Xiao and put in the study.” Aunt Jiang rushed out of the kitchen, her hands still wet. “Princess, let me get it for you.”
“Forget it, you keep doing the dishes. I’ll go myself.”
Xiao Yebai was outside on the balcony by the floor-to-ceiling windows, making a phone call.
Mo Weiyi got up, leaning on her crutch, hobbling into the study.
The study was usually used by Xiao Yebai. It had a simple black-and-white-grey design, with two walls filled with bookshelves filled with all sorts of books. The books on the higher shelves could only be reached with a ladder.
But most of these books had already been read by Xiao Yebai!
While marveling at her husband’s extensive knowledge and unforgettable memory, Mo Weiyi ventured towards the bookshelf near the desk.
The shelves here were filled with novels, comics, and art books, the only things she’d usually read from these shelves, because… she didn’t understand the rest!
She took the half-read detective novel and glanced around, noticing a retro plastic photo album on the top shelf next to her.
Huh, wasn’t that Xiaobai’s photo album?
Silly Xiaobai, too busy with work to remember where he had left his photo album.
She walked over, leaning on her crutch, and reached up to grab it with her left hand.
The shelf was a little high, out of her reach.
Just as Mo Weiyi was on her tiptoes, stretching her left foot in an attempt to touch the album, a voice suddenly interjected…
“What are you doing?”
The sudden cold voice made her skin crawl. Her foot wobbled, and she lost balance in an instant.
“Ah!”
The pain she imagined didn’t come. After her scream, her crutch fell to the ground, and she, fell into a familiar embrace.
Due to gravity, Xiao Yebai’s body moved backward, slamming hard into the bookcase behind him.
There was a loud “bang”, accompanied by the man’s muffled groan.
Mo Weiyi was still in shock, her first instinct was to clutch tight his arm.
“Are you okay?” Xiao Yebai asked in a low voice.
Mo Weiyi shook her head blankly.
She was somewhat stunned.
It was quite clear that he had rushed to catch her. If not, with her current condition, she might have hurt herself even more…
Mo Weiyi suddenly became deeply moved and heartbroken.
Xiaobai had risked his own body to save her. She heard him collide with the bookcase just now. The impact must’ve been painful.
She glanced back and saw a corner of the bookcase protruding, right at his waist level.
“Xiaobai, did you injure your waist?” Mo Weiyi asked in a hurry.
Before Xiao Yebai could answer, Mo Weiyi was already panicking and calling for help. “Aunt Jiang, Aunt Jiang, come quick, please!”
The maid hurried into the study, “Princess, what happened?”
“Xiaobai injured his waist. Call an ambulance, dial 120!”
Xiao Yebai:”…”
Aunt Jiang was also shocked.
120?
Princess, are you sure?
“No need.” Xiao Yebai finally spoke in a low voice, “It’s not necessary.”
“But you hurt your waist.” Mo Weiyi’s face full of worry, “Isn’t it said the waist is essential for men?”
Xiao Yebai again:
Aunt Jiang: “Cough, cough, cough.”
Expecting the young couple to discuss something inappropriate, she hurriedly suggested, “I’ll find some medicinal oil for injuries, it will be much better if we rub some on Sir Xiao.”
When Aunt Jiang left, Xiao Yebai in a calm voice said, “You’ve hurt your foot, don’t wander around. If you need something, let the maid assist you when I’m not around.”
Mo Weiyi nodded quickly.
At the moment, she had completely forgotten the detective novel and the photo album when she leaned on her crutch and hurriedly said, “Xiaobai, turn around. I need to check you first.”
“I said, I’m fine.”
“No, I need to see.”
How could he always be okay after everything, and endure so much pain?
Seeing her insistence, Xiao Yebai’s eyebrows moved slightly, and he turned around.
Mo Weiyi quickly pulled out his shirt from his suit pants and nudged it further, revealing the man’s robust back.
However, she couldn’t make out if anything was wrong.
She glanced at the man, then cautiously reached out her small hand to test, asking, “Xiaobai, does it hurt here? How about here? And here?”
