Chapter 543: 543, call me Xiaobai.
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.
“Ah!”
Mo Weiyi nearly fell over.
She quickly braced herself with both hands, looking somewhat startled and pale, “Can’t 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 shouldn’t get agitated; you must mind your emotions…”
…
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!
“No touching allowed.”
The man narrowed his eyes, a suppressed resonant low voice reverberating. “Weiyi.”
“What?”
“Call me.”
“Call you what?”
“What did you use to call me?”
“Xiaobai?”
“Mm.”
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, “But I don’t want to call you Xiaobai anymore.”
“Why?”
Xiao Yebai stared at her with his dark, deep eyes.
This eye contact made Mo Weiyi’s heart begin to race again. She whined somewhat petulantly, “You don’t call me ‘wife’.”
Xiao Yebai indeed hardly ever called her ‘wife’, typically addressing her as “Weiyi”, and when he was angry, he would call her by her full name “Mo Weiyi”.
After a long pause, the man spoke softly, “‘Weiyi’ sounds better.”
“Does ‘Xiaobai’ sound good?”
The man glanced at her, his lips curling into a faint smile. “I’ve become accustomed to it.”
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 ‘Xiaobai’ 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 ‘Yebai’.
As for the servants, they referred to him as “Young Master Xiao”.
Therefore, the nickname “Xiaobai” was something only she, Mo Weiyi, could use.
“All right then.”
She curled up her lips and slowly revealed a sweet smile, her voice soft as she called, “Xiaobai.”
Hearing his familiar name, a weight seemed to be lifted from the depths of the man’s dark, deep eyes, his facial expression softened considerably.
Then he said, “Feed me some more porridge.”
Mo Weiyi:”…Okay.”

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 husband’s 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.
“Thank you, Mr. Huo,” Mo Weiyi said with a sweet smile, then glanced at her own husband, “I’m sorry, he’s quite unwell and can’t talk much. Please feel at home.”
It wasn’t that he was intentionally being rude-
Xiao Yebai: “…”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Huo Jingshen chuckled, “It must be hard on Miss Mo.”
“Oh, it’s not a big deal.” Mo Weiyi had Aunt Zhou take the gifts away and gestured for the pair to sit down.
Su Wanwan looked at the TV, “Wow, are you also into this show?”
“Yeah, I saw it recommended on a public account. The show was addictive once I started watching.”
“Yeah, I really can’t stand that scum in there. He’s always flirting with his female classmate.”
“That kind of woman is a green tea bitch!”
“The man isn’t much better either!”
“It takes two to tango!”
“…”
The two women excitedly chatted about the plot, while the two men remained silent.
A while later, Huo Jingshen got up, “Babe, I need to go to the office. Call the driver later to come pick you up.”
“Mr. Huo, I’ll take Wanwan home later.” Mo Weiyi immediately said.
Huo Jingshen gave the man on the bed a look, “Doesn’t Miss Mo need to stay here with President Xiao?”
“No need, I’ve got to go home and sleep for beauty rest at noon.” Mo Weiyi said this in a clear and straightforward manner.
Xiao Yebai: “…”
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
All of a sudden, he felt a bit of sympathy for a certain patient.
He looked at the time, “Babe, I’m leaving first.”
“Okay, go.” Su Wanwan sat there, immersing herself in the TV screen. She didn’t 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, “Get up, see your husband off.”
“Hey, why are you so annoying? Don’t stop me from watching my show, eh, why are you pulling me…”
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, “Ms. Su and her husband’s relationship seems to be very good.”
“…”
