Chapter 534: Chapter 533: 533, did I say I was going to the hospital to see him?

Mo Weiyi was quiet all the way home.

Rong An kept glancing at the rearview mirror as she focused on the road.

When they arrived at the Lishui Bay Villa, Mo Weiyi instructed the servants to take her suitcase to the guest room.

It was very late. As she entered the bathroom and took off her coat, she noticed that her neck was splattered with blood, so was her white undershirt.

The sight was horrifying.

Looking at the blood, Mo Weiyi seemed to relive the moment when the man pressed her against the door.

His gaze was deep and stormy, a clear sign of his anger.

Mo Weiyi didn’t understand. If he were so ready for her to talk to his grandfather about divorce, why would he get so angry when she brought it up? Angry enough to cough up blood?

**

The next morning.

Aunt Zhou was preparing the thermos.

Upon seeing Mo Weiyi descend the stairs, she immediately said, “Princess, I’ve asked the doctor. Master Xiao needs to fast for the next few days, so I made some chicken soup for you to bring him.”

Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, “Me, take it to him?”

“Yes.”

“Did I say I was going to the hospital to see him?” Mo Weiyi turned around and stretched, “The sun’s rather nice today, Aunt Zhou. Please move my lounge chair to the balcony. I want to read there.”

“…Alright,” Aunt Zhou could only agree.

The chicken soup was sent to the hospital by the driver instead.

In the hospital room, Zhan Yao asked Xiao Yebai, “Are you okay? I heard from the doctor that you coughed up blood again last night?”

“I won’t die.” The man’s voice was cold, and his face even colder.

It was already quite cold in Nancheng today, but Zhan Yao felt the hospital room was even colder, as if it were a freezer. The cold wind sent chills down his spine.

After a few coughs, Zhan Yao walked around the room.

This was no doubt a high-end VIP room, more luxurious than his own home, opulent to the extreme. However…

Why was the room so empty, without even a single bouquet of flowers?

Zhan Yao couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you here all by yourself? Where’s your little princess? Why isn’t there even a single maid? I mean, come on, the CEO of the Mo Family, shouldn’t be this pitiful when he’s sick, right?”

Xiao Yebai answered coldly, “Didn’t you say she couldn’t come because she’s in the countryside?”

Zhan Yao coughed, “Alright, alright, I deliberately lied to you yesterday. I heard from Tian Ye that the little princess did come last night. Where is she now…?”

“Dare to mention Tian Ye?”

An icy shiver ran down Zhan Yao’s spine, “What happened?”

Xiao Yebai squinted his black pupils and turned his face toward the window.

“Don’t tell me, you had a falling out with the little princess over Tian Ye?”

Xiao Yebai remained silent.

But the answer was crystal clear.

Zhan Yao slapped his thigh, “Damn it, then I’m to blame. I thought I could bring Tian Ye to the hospital to provoke the little princess a bit, let her know you’re still popular with the ladies, and make her realize she should treasure you. Now I got it!”

He pointed at Xiao Yebai, “Given your taciturn nature, you certainly didn’t explain, did you? So the little princess misunderstood that you and Tian Ye were having an affair, didn’t she? Damn it, you just had to shoot yourself in the foot, playing mute all day; who are you trying to impress? The little princess is your wife. Do you really need to treat her with such aloofness?”

Zhan Yao did all the talking while Xiao Yebai remained expressionless.

It was past nine, and no one from the Mo Family came to visit, not even anything to eat… Zhan Yao felt sorry for him, took out his phone and said, “Well then, you rest up. I’m gonna step out.”

…

Outside the hospital room, Zhan Yao dialed Mo Weiyi directly, “Little princess, are you at Lishui Bay?”

“What is it?”

“Nothing much, see you later.” Zhan Yao hung up after saying this.

Mo Weiyi put down her phone and resumed her reading.

The wind was strong today; the sky of Nancheng was blown to a clear blue, free of any clouds.

The large glass window kept the chilly wind outside while the warm winter sun streamed in, scattering patches of light on the floor.

Lying on the chaise lounge, covered in soft, heavy blankets, she grew drowsy after a while of reading.

That was until her phone rang again.

Mo Weiyi picked up the call, slightly annoyed.

Ling Zhizhou?

“Hello.”

“Senior sister, I have arrived at Xu Garden Village. Where are you?”

“Huh?” Mo Weiyi frowned, “But I returned home yesterday.”

“Really?” Ling Zhizhou’s voice was clearly disappointed, “That’s too bad. I told you yesterday that I was coming to see you in these two days.”

“I apologize, my husband was suddenly hospitalized, so…”

“Is Master Xiao okay?” Ling Zhizhou immediately asked.

“Nothing serious.” Mo Weiyi didn’t want to dwell on it, “I’m a little busy right now, let’s meet up next time when I’m free.”

“Okay, senior sister, take care of yourself.”

“Mhm.”

In an old-style courtyard in Xu Garden Village.

After hanging up, Ling Zhizhou’s handsome face darkened.

His fingers clutched the phone tightly, his backhand turned dark from the cold, while his knuckles were turning white from the force.

After a while, a chilly voice broke the silence, “What, another failure?”

Ling Zhizhou whirled around, “Are you stalking me?”

The man in black smirked, “Zhizhou, how many times have I told you, you’re not cut out for this.”
