Su Wanwan walked out after trying on swimsuits and headed straight to the cashierâs counter. âI want this one. Do you have a size larger in the cup area?â She still found the pink one more appealing.
And the bikini?
She disposed of it and the blue swimsuit directly to the sales clerk. âI donât want these two.â
âOkay, miss.â
Unexpectedly, a womanâs hand stretched over from the side at that moment. She was wearing a silver bracelet, her fingers were lean, her skin was fair, and her nails were painted nude, simple and elegant.
Her voice was equally soft and graceful, âIs this blue swimsuit a medium size?â
Su Wanwan looked up and froze.
It was the same woman who was with Xiao Yebai the other day!
The mistress!
The woman looked at her and smiled, revealing two dimples at the corners of her mouth. âMiss, is this a medium size?â
Su Wanwan nodded subconsciously.
âThank you.â The woman smiled and picked up the swimsuit by her side. âIâll take this one. Charge it to my card.â
âSure, miss.â The sales clerk immediately issued the receipt.
Su Wanwan couldnât help but study her.
The last time she saw her with Xiao Yebai, she was wearing a black knitted sweater and a plaid skirt, exuding a certain charm in her neatness because it was in the club.
Today, she was carrying a beige down jacket, and she was dressed in a beige knitted long dress. The long skirt trailed all the way to her feet, her exquisite curly hair, her elegant makeup, making her look soft and composed.
Regardless, it was clear she belonged to the category of urban white-collar women who were seasoned and mature, even more so than herself and Mo Weiyi.
And it wasnât a maturity like Chu Jingyiâs either.
Chu Jingyiâs age and wealth were evident in her imposing and somewhat arrogant demeanor, even her gaze held a sense of contempt and disdain.
This woman, on the other hand, did not have any of these characteristics, in contrast, she was much more comfortable and approachable.
When she took out a black card from her bag, Su Wanwan was even more astonished.
Up until now, she knew of only one woman who used a black card, Mo Weiyi.
She didnât expect this woman to have one too.
Could it have been given by Xiao Yebai?
Damn!
Upon this realization, Su Wanwan felt her blood boiling.
Xiao Yebai now controls the Mo Group, although she doesnât understand business, Mo Weiyi had mentioned that even Mo Yaoxiong doesnât handle affairs much, and Xiao Yebai now holds all the power in the Mo Family.
So⦠he was using company money to keep a mistress?
Su Wenwen wanted to take a picture with her phone, but it was too conspicuous.
She wanted to confront her, but she had no grounds.
So when the sales clerk brought over the receipt for that woman to sign, Su Wenwen immediately shifted her gaze to it.
Tian Ye?
Was this a name?
âMiss, this is one size bigger in the chest area, miss, miss.â
Su Wanwan hurriedly turned around.
She took the swimsuit, and when she turned back, the woman had already signed, picked up the delicate shopping bag, and gracefully walked away. âMiss, do you want this one?â
âYes.â
âCharge it to your card?â asked the sales clerk again.
Before Su Wenwen could answer, Huo Jingshen elegantly slid a black card onto the counter.
Looking at his graceful rich manâs demeanor, the sales clerk immediately shifted her envious gaze to Su Wanwan.
But Su Wanwan had her eyebrows furrowed, and as soon as she got back in the car, she dialed Mo Weiyiâs number. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWeiyi, what are you doing?â
âStudying.â Mo Weiyi grumbled, and the recitation of English texts could be heard on the phone.
Su Wanwan asked, âDo you know a woman named Tian?â
âNo.â Mo Weiyi denied it bluntly.
âCalled Tian Ye, You really donât know?â
âI donât know, what is it?â
âHas Xiaobai been acting unusually lately?â
âNo.â Mo Weiyiâs voice was sweet and innocent. âIâve been working hard to learn English every day recently, so to not disturb me, he comes home late and even works overtime on the weekends.â
You call that not unusual?
Su Wanwan was speechless, âSo, what time does he usually come home?â
âGenerally after nine, because before nine a tutor comes over for private lessons, and they use his study.â
âOh.â
âWhy are you asking this?â
Su Wanwan decided to be upfront, âI forgot to tell you yesterday, I saw him at the club with a woman alone, and he was speaking to her in a gentle tone, the woman was quite pretty too.â
âAlone?â The pitch of Mo Weiyiâs voice instantly raised. âWhat does she look like, did you take a picture?â
âI donât know, I saw her again at the clothing store just now, and she was using a black card, seems quite wealthy, her signature read Tian Ye, not sure if thatâs her name.â
âI got it.â Mo Weiyi hung up as soon as she finished speaking.
Su Wanwan:ââ¦â
**
Mo Familyâs villa.
Mo Weiyi couldnât concentrate on her studies anymore.
Was there another woman around Xiaobai?
And a private meeting at a club?
Who talked oh-so-gently?
What was her name⦠Tian Ye?
What the hell!
She immediately grabbed her phone.
But no information about a woman named Tian Ye could be found on Baidu, Weibo, Zhihuâ¦
It was now half past three in the afternoon, and Xiaobai had mentioned earlier that he had a social engagement in the afternoon.
Without further hesitation, Mo Weiyi directly dialed Xiao Yebaiâs cell phone.
The call went through, rang for a long time, before finally, a manâs clean and pleasant voice came through, âWeiyi.â
There seemed to be other people talking in the background.
Immediately sensitive, Mo Weiyi asked, âXiaobai, where are you now?â
âIâm socializing.â
âWhen will it be over?â
âAround five.â
âAfter youâre done, why donât come home and have dinner with me?â
âDoesnât the teacher have to make up the class?â
âThat wonât interfere with our dinner together, you come back and keep me company later, Iâll have Aunt Zhou make some dishes you love.â
âOkay.â Xiao Yebai agreed.
**
At six-thirty in the evening, Mo Weiyi sat cross-legged on the couch with a thick book, âNew Horizon College English,â on her lap, but she had barely turned a page since sat down.
When she heard the engine sound coming from outside, she instantly threw the book aside, âXiaobai.â
Soon, Xiao Yebai walked in from outside.
He was wearing a thick coat, unbuttoned, revealing a dark woolen sweater underneath, and wearing a matching dark scarf around his neck. He looked sharp and cool, with a lingering chill on him as if he had just come in from the cold outside.
âXiaobai, let me help you,â Mo Weiyi offered to help him take off his coat.
Xiao Yebai glanced at her, took off his coat and scarf, and put them in her hands.
Mo Weiyi turned and took them to the couch.
She sat there, carefully examining the scarf and coatâ¦
âWhat are you doing?â Xiao Yebai asked in a deep voice.
âLooking for a womanâs hair!â
Xiao Yebai:
None!
Mo Weiyi sniffed the clothes again.
Except for a hint of tobacco and alcohol, no other smells, fragrances or anything⦠Nothing at all!
Tossing away the clothes, Mo Weiyi stood up and looked at him, âWho is Tian Ye?â
Xiao Yebai stood there, expressionless.
A sudden sense of panic rose in Mo Weiyiâs heart. She looked at the manâs handsome, serene profile under the lights, his black and white cat-like eyes blinked, about to speakâ¦
âSheâs a classmate from the American Institute.â
âA classmate?â
âYes,â Xiao Yebai lowered his head, behind the glasses, his eyes were downcast, his voice slightly downcast, âRecently returned to the country for career development.â
Mo Weiyi immediately pouted her lips, âSo you also have female classmates.â
This man, who always acted like a loner and rarely had friends, and never had any female friends, suddenly introduced a female classmate from America?
Really strange!
Xiao Yebai lazily lifted his eyelids and gave her a nonchalant glance, âSimilar to your male classmate named Ling Zhizhou.â
Upon hearing this, Mo Weiyi objected, âHow can it be the same? Ling Zhizhou is my junior!â
Since they met at an exam venue that day and added each other on WeChat, Ling Zhizhou had been striking up conversations with her quite frequently.
Earlier such one morning, Xiao Yebai happened to be present when Ling Zhizhou sent her a WeChat message. As soon as she opened the voice message, he heard it.
He didnât react at the time, but surprisingly, he remembered it.
Petty!
Mo Weiyi added, âHe is two years younger than me.â
Being from the same department and having spent over two years in college, Ling Zhizhou was the first male student not to judge her based on her identity. He was clean-cut and gentlemanly in appearance which didnât disgust her, so she did not resist his approach.
Lately, she was putting in extra efforts to learn English, and most of the conversations with him were about English study.
Fearing Xiao Yebai might not believe her, she quickly picked up her phone again, âTake a look for yourself, I am just asking him questions about English.â
Xiao Yebai glanced indifferently at the screen, and his thin lips curled upwards.
A slight curve, like a smirk.
Mo Weiyi pressed him, âWhat about you, why did you go to the club alone with her?â
