Through a blurred vision, Xiao Yebaiâs voice rose again, slow and steady, âWhat are you crying for?â
ââ¦â Mo Weiyi bit her lips, remaining silent.
The man raised his finger and gently wiped it under her eyelids, cleaning away her tears, one by one.
âIâm asking you a question, Weiyi. What are you crying for?â
ââ¦â Mo Weiyi still did not speak.
Xiao Yebai grasped her face with both hands, lifting it upwards, âDonât cry.â
Mo Weiyi looked at him, tears falling heavily from her eyes, rolling down her cheeks and landing on his fingertips.
Hot and heavy.
Silent weeping, like pear blossoms in the rain, most lethal.
âWhat on earth do you want me to do?â The manâs tone turned helpless.
In memory, this was the second time Mo Weiyi cried so heartrendingly.
The first was when Xu Xian left.
âWeiyi, why are you crying? Tell me, okay?â Saying this, Xiao Yebai took her into his embrace.
His warm and familiar hold seemed to cause Mo Weiyiâs breakdown to further intensify.
She lowered her head, her face buried deep in his chest, her arms wrapped tight around him, her whole body trembling as she cried.
Donât know how long it took, she finally seemed to have cried enough and moved away from him.
âAre you going to divorce me?â Mo Weiyi stared at him, her voice hoarse from crying, âAre you going to leave the Mo Family?â
âItâs not me.â Xiao Yebai squinted, appearing to scrutinize, but his tone was still calm, âItâs you. The decision-making power for all of this lies with you.â
âWith me?â Mo Weiyi repeated, stunned.
âInitially, you stormed into my room, onto my bed and laid claim on me, wanting to marry me. Thatâs why I married into the Mo Family, became the CEO of the Mo Family, and have everything I have today. Now all it takes is one word from you, and Iâll lose everything immediately, do you understand?â Xiao Yebai spoke seriously.
There was no hint of self-mockery.
Mo Weiyiâs white teeth bit hard onto her lip and her fingers clenched tightly.
She wanted to say that she did all those things before because she loved him and wanted to be with him, and it was never because of anything else.
As for all that he has now, he obtained them through his own capabilities.
Why does he have to say that itâs all because of her?
Just because she took a liking to him, he had everything, and now, just because she doesnât want them anymore, can he instantly become penniless?
Is this how he sees her?
Whatâs detestable is that she couldnât be as ruthless as himâ¦
âTake your time to consider. I wonât pressure you.â After saying this, Xiao Yebai turned and left.
His figure was upright, cold, and proud. In his solitude, there was a trace of ruthlessness.
Mo Weiyi stood there blankly, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.
**
That night.
There were two blankets on the large bed, the heating was on, Aunt Zhou went to bed early and quickly fell asleep. Mo Weiyi, however, tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
When she finally did fall asleep, she started having nightmares non-stop.
Once, it was about Xiao Yebai divorcing her.
Next, it was about Xiao Yebai returning to Tongcheng.
Then, it was about Xiao Yebai and Tian Ye being together.
There was also one where Xiao Yebai was baking scolded by the older shareholders in the board meeting.
The final scene was when Xiao Yebai went abroad, she chased the car, running non-stopâ¦
While it was around four or five in the morning, Mo Weiyi at last fell into a drowsy sleep.
â¦
When she woke up, it was due to her phone ringing.
Picking up the phone, Su Wanwanâs energetic voice was heard, âWeiyi, what are you doing?â
âWhat happened?â
Hearing Mo Weiyiâs obviously sleepy voice, Su Wanwan clicked her tongue, âWow, itâs already afternoon and youâre still sleeping. Tell me, what were you doing last night? Were you and Mr. Xiao he-he-heâ¦â
Su Wanwan rarely teased about such matters, Mo Weiyi didnât join in the joking, but instead felt gloomy.
She lay in bed, watching the sunlight filter in through the gap in the curtains. Her voice sounded distant as she said, âWanwan, I donât know what to do.â
âWhat happened? What do you mean what to do?â
Mo Weiyi then recounted the conversation she had with her husband the day before.
âDamn, did Xiao Yebai really say that?â
âYes.â
âHeâs a scum! Thatâs right, you were the one who liked him, chased him, initiated intimacy with him, and then told your grandpa that you have been had. But he agreed to the marriage himself, didnât he? Since you are now married, he should regard you as his wife. Moreover, you have been so good to him all these years. No matter how cold he was to you, you were always there for him! This scum, doesnât he have a heart? Or is his heart icy? Now he even dares to say such things? I feel heâs nothing more than an ungrateful wretch!â
After Su Wanwan tiraded for a long while, her tone shifted, âWhy doesnât he care at all about the position of the CEO of the Mo Family?â
Mo Weiyi didnât say a word.
Does Xiao Yebai simply not care about the position of the Mo Familyâs CEO?
He doesnât seem to care about anything, including her, his own wife.
He made it very clear yesterday; one word from her, and he will abandon everything immediately and be free of her.
With his abilities, building another business empire would be a piece of cake for him, possibly only taking a few years.
Maybe thatâs where his confidence comes from?
Indeed, in love, the one who falls first is always the most desolate.
Su Wanwan sighed deeply, âWeiyi, it seems that he really doesnât love you.â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
Reminded of the reality, she felt like tearing up again.
