Mo Weiyiâs heart twitched, and immediately she turned her eyes at him.
The man sat there, his beautiful figure was as still as ever. However, he finally started to speak, âAre you done arguing with me?â
âWhat do you mean, âam I done arguing with youâ?â The icy front on Mo Weiyiâs noble and breathtaking face fell apart instantly, âXiao Yebai, do you even know what you did wrong?â
The man looked at her, as if genuinely clueless.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mo Weiyi angrily withdrew her hand and started to question him, âWhy did you send the maids away?â
Xiao Yebai lifted his thin lips slightly, âThey were too noisy.â
âWhy did you spill the chicken soup Aunt Zhou sent?â
Xiao Yebai responded unperturbedly, âI didnât want to drink it.â
Mo Weiyi took a deep breath and asked her third question, âThen why did you have Zhong Kai buy gifts for me? The jewelry, turtles, puppies you gave me before, did Zhong Kai buy them all?â
Xiao Yebai didnât deny it, âIs there a difference?â
âOf course there is a difference, even though itâs your money, the gifts represent your intentions! I always had to ask you for gifts, then you would ask Zhong Kai to buy them for me. You didnât even want to deliver them personally. Itâs clear that you didnât put your heart into it! Weâve known each other for 10 years, been married for 2, yet you have no idea what I really like. If I donât say it, you always go for jewelry! Xiao Yebai, are you just placating me?â
In the face of her barrage of questions, Xiao Yebai just replied, âI understand now.â
âWhat do you mean by âI understand nowâ?â Mo Weiyi demanded.
Xiao Yebai kept watching her steadily. A hint of irritation flashed through his eyebrows, but he finally said, âThe gifts for you, I will buy them personally from now on.â
Hearing his response, Mo Weiyi, who had felt so stifled, finally pouted her lips in relief.
Immediately following that, âSo why donât you even know what food I like? I admit, I didnât know that your stomach issue was so severe, as a wife, itâs my fault. But you are even worse! In the last class reunion, I asked you to order food for me, and you only ordered broccoli, and all the other dishes were ones I didnât like! Because your classmates were present, I didnât want to create a scene and lose your face, you know?â
This time, Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, âYou like meat, the only vegetable you like is broccoli, isnât that right?â
Mo Weiyi stood there stunned, âYou knew? Then why did youâ¦â
âEating more vegetables is good for your health.â
At his response, Mo Weiyi audibly rolled her eyes.
âAny more questions?â It was Xiao Yebaiâs turn to ask now.
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
Why did she have this feeling again that she was at a loss for no reason?
She bit her lip, and then said, âXiao Yebai, last time I asked you if you liked me, you didnât answer. This time, Iâll rephrase the question.â
Looking at the manâs clear yet indifferent eyes, she asked, word by word, âXiao Yebai, do you actually care about me?â
Before he could answer, Mo Weiyi quickly added, âIf you really donât want to answer or find it too embarrassing to say, this is okay, if you donât care about me, just shake your head.â
Xiao Yebai pursed his thin lips.
He opened his mouth after a long silence, âI am not mute.â
âThen say something.â Mo Weiyi was just frustrated.
Xiao Yebai looked at her, âSo all this indeed started because I didnât say anything?â
Mo Weiyi: ââ¦â
She felt like hitting someone!
How did the conversation circle back to this?
Was it really she who started it?
Fine!
Mo Weiyi only felt weary deep down, âAlright, letâs not talk about it anymore, letâs not say anything, you seem to be recovering well, since you donât need maids, let the nurse take care of you, goodbye!â
Having said that, she turned and walked away.
Xiao Yebai didnât try to stop her.
Mo Weiyi just felt a chill in her heart. She plucked up the courage to believe Zhan Yaoâs words, came to him, only to face this.
But she couldnât let it go.
As she walked, she couldnât help but slow down her steps.
With each step in her high heels, she felt as if she was stepping on her own heart.
When she reached the door, she finally gave up, reaching out to open the door.
Immediately, the noise from outside filled her ears.
Just as Mo Weiyi was about to take a step to leave, she suddenly heard the man speak from behind her.
âYes.â
Mo Weiyi was stunned, her body froze on the spot.
âWeiyi?â The manâs voice sounded again, as if he was afraid she hadnât heard.
Mo Weiyi coughed lightly, turned around, then stiffly walked back over.
Although her heart was blooming with joy, her face remained cold and calm, not showing any signs of happiness.
Looking at her face, Xiao Yebaiâs eyebrows slightly knitted together.
Returning to the bedside table, Mo Weiyi grabbed the bag containing the thermos, unzipped it, took out the thermos and unscrewed the cap.
As she was about to pour out the chicken soup, Xiao Yebai reminded her, âBe careful.â
Mo Weiyiâs fingers paused a moment, then she looked at the man, âAm I that useless?â
Xiao Yebai: ââ¦â
Mo Weiyi carefully poured out a small bowl of chicken soup, holding the bowl she sat at the edge of the bed.
Having had experience in feeding him water yesterday, she was much more skillful this time. Each time drawing up just a half spoonful and delivering it securely got it down his throat.
