Chapter 448: Chapter 447: 447, call the scumbag

“I can’t help it, she doesn’t dare to sleep alone, I have to stay with her.” Su Wanwan explained.

“If you sleep with her, then who will sleep with me?” Huo Jingshen’s tone was no good.

He was eagerly waiting for his wife to come home, but she went downstairs to sleep with that ugly girl?

“You can sleep by yourself!” Su Wanwan said in a matter-of-fact tone, “Haven’t you been sleeping alone recently?”

“Why would I sleep alone?” Huo Jingshen held her, “Who is to blame for this, huh?”

Ever since Su Wanwan started preparing for the exams, she’s hardly been home. Once in a blue moon, they’d have a meal together, exchange a few endearments, but time spent together was extremely limited.

To tell the truth, it was a bit difficult to endure.

Su Wanwan knew he was disgruntled, but… “She really is scared to sleep alone, just tonight, just for one night, I promise, is that okay?”

“If she can’t sleep alone, then let her go find her own husband.” Huo Jingshen remained unmoved.

As soon as that scumbag was mentioned, Su Wanwan’s face changed, “No way! That Xiao Yebai is a jerk!”

“Call that jerk!”

“I won’t!”

Huo Jingshen squinted, “Every time Xiao Yebai screws up, your best friend takes a drink, and then comes to sleep with you? Are you planning on turning your husband into a monk?”

“What nonsense are you talking?” Su Wanwan looked at him in shock, “Weiyi is my best friend, she’s already so distressed, and you’re still taking advantage of it, can’t you be a bit sympathetic?”

Huo Jingshen’s face darkened, “Why don’t you have some sympathy for your husband?”

Su Wanwan pushed him away, “Alright already, just for tonight, isn’t that okay?”

With that, she quickly picked up her pajamas, glanced at the vanity, and left with a bunch of bottles and jars.

When Xiao Yebai returned to the Lishui Bay Villa, it was approximately seven in the evening.

Entering the villa, he did not hear the familiar calling.

He glanced at the entryway, where a pair of pink slippers were neatly arranged.

The man froze for several seconds before removing his coat and changing into the slippers.

He stepped into the living room, looking at the empty space, his expression faltered momentarily.

The whole villa was eerily quiet.

He stood there quietly, silent, like a statue.

Until the study door suddenly opened.

Xiao Yebai, as if switched on, instantly reined in his emotions and looked up.

But it was not Mo Weiyi who appeared.

“Mr. Xiao.”

Chen Jin looked at him, clearly seeing the momentary chill in the man’s eyes.

Was it disappointment?

During this time she was tutoring here, she had learned Xiao Yebai’s name and even looked him up online.

She was instantly introduced to a new world.

She thought Xiao Yebai was outstanding and was supporting a beauty like Mo Weiyi, but surprisingly, Mo Weiyi turned out to be the cherished Little Princess of the Mo Family, a prominent family in Nancheng. As for Xiao Yebai, he was just their adopted son, only becoming CEO of Mo Group two years ago when he married Mo Weiyi, gaining his current status and power.

To put it bluntly, he was a breadwinner.

Although she believed this term was inappropriate to use for Xiao Yebai, everything about him was natural, from his looks to his temperament.

As such, Chen Jin felt differently towards him.

If she just admired him before, then now, she feels much more sympathetic towards him.

It turns out they are of the same kind.

However, he’s much luckier than her, adopted by the Mo Family, favored by their Little Princess, and accepted by high society—

“Where’s Weiyi?” Xiao Yebai’s deep voice interrupted Chen Jin’s thoughts.

Her face was still slightly red, she tried to maintain her composure and said, “I just arrived, Aunt Zhou said she was going to call Miss Mo.”

As soon as her voice fell, Aunt Zhou’s anxious voice arose, “Young Master Xiao, you’re finally back. What should we do? We can’t reach the princess.”

Xiao Yebai’s tone was calm, “Where did she go?”

“I don’t know, she didn’t return after class ended. Liu just said he didn’t pick up the princess from school and is still waiting at the school gate. I’ve tried calling her several times but there’s no answer.” Aunt Zhou was panicking, “Young Master Xiao, nothing happened to the princess right? What should we do, should we inform the old man…. ”

“No need.” Xiao Yebai cut her off in a cold voice, leaning slightly, he looked at Chen Jin, “You can go home now.”

“…” Chen Jin was stunned for a moment, hurriedly nodding her head, “Okay.”

She entered the study room to gather her belongings, listening to the movements outside.

Did Miss Mo and Mr. Xiao have a quarrel?

But…

They were so affectionate with one another, they would actually have a fight?

…

“Hello, the number you have dialed is switched off, please try again later.” The mechanical voice of a woman came from the receiver.

Xiao Yebai put down the phone.

Aunt Zhou asked worriedly, “Young Master Xiao, what do we do, the princess…”

“It’s nothing.” Xiao Yebai’s voice was calm, “She should be back soon.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Huh?”

“Let Liu come back.”

“Oh.”

Aunt Zhou was confused, but since Young Master Xiao had said so, she could only do as he instructed.

Having said that, Xiao Yebai turned and went upstairs.

…

After taking a shower, Xiao Yebai looked around the bedroom, his gaze slowly sweeping across.

The villa had been a wedding gift from Mo Yaoxiong to his daughter and son-in-law two years ago. At the beginning, he had just taken the role of CEO and was extremely busy with work; therefore, the entire villa’s decoration style was decided by Mo Weiyi.
