âGoodbye, big sis.â Little Luoluo waves her small hand.
Despite the unshed tears still welling in her eyes, she puckers her mouth and smiles like a blooming sunflower.
Itâs somewhat absurd.
But also incredibly cute.
Mo Weiyi canât help but laugh again.
As the elevator door closes, she turns and heads to the coffee shop, pulling out her phone to call Shi Huan on the way.
The call gets through quickly.
âHuanhuan, what are you doing?â
Shi Huan on the other end is taken aback.
If it werenât for hearing Mo Weiyiâs voice, heâd suspect this was something Chu Xiuhuang would say.
Why do these two talk with the same tone?
Such a pair made in heaven, yet they canât be together, what a pity.
âHuanhuan?â Mo Weiyi furrows her delicate eyebrows, âHello? Can you hear me? Hello?â
âIâm here.â Shi Huan hastily responds, âWhatâs wrong?â
âWhere are you? I just saw your little sister in the elevator, she was crying so pitifully.â
âWhat did you say, is Luoluo still crying?â
âWhat happened?â
âItâs nothing, she probably just got frightened.â Shi Huan makes light of it.
He assumes the poor girl might have been scared by seeing Lady Shi slap her in the hospital room.
âOne half-sugar latte, thank you.â
After giving her order to the waiter, Mo Weiyi continues speaking on the phone, âThatâs good then. The lady with her, must be her mother, right? And the young-looking man is your uncle? He looks very young.â
âYes.â
âWhy do I feel like Little Luoluo looks more like you and not so much like her mother?â
The womanâs face seems to be a bit square-like, whereas Luoluo has an oval face, quite like Shi Huanâs.
Shi Huan chuckles but doesnât put much thought into it.
The two continue to chat aimlessly for a few minutes, Mo Weiyi doing most of the talking while Shi Huan doesnât say much.
When her coffee is ready, Mo Weiyi hangs up the phone and carries her coffee upstairs.

In the VIP ward on the 20th floor at this moment.
âTian Ye likes you, I refuse to believe you havenât noticed.â Ye Bei stands in front of the patientâs bed, speaking with a tone of certainty.
Xiao Yebai sits there, exuding aloof indifference that seems to seep from his bones. He doesnât react to Ye Beiâs words.
Ye Bei has long become accustomed to this attitude of his, moreover knowing the severity of his stomach bleeding.
Eating only liquid meals and with a poor digestion, although his complexion looks good, he must be terribly weak, hence his silence is understandable.
So he continues, âYebai, you are really good at toying with womenâs feelings, huh? Neither rejecting nor acknowledging, nor taking a stance, yet you manage to have Tian Ye willingly revolving around you daily.â
âI am asking you, seeing Tian Ye like this, donât you feel a sense of accomplishment? Does it feel good?â
âActually, I figured it out long ago. Back when Tian Ye and I were dating, she never told me about her family situation. At first, I assumed it was just her personality, but later, I understood that she never considered me as an intimate partner.â
âOn the contrary, you, knew about this! You even accompanied Tian Ye to meet her mother! The matter with her house, you helped to resolve it, right? Also, her motherâs surgery was accomplished with your help, wasnât it?â
âHmm, coming here personally with an assistant to arrange her surgery, assigning a vice dean to perform the procedure, especially instructing to take good care of her. Even now that she has been discharged, thereâs a doctor specifically assigned to visit her.â
âYebai, if you really love Tian Ye, I wouldnât care, since Tian Ye and I are already separated. Whoever she chooses is her freedom.â
Having said all that, he looks at the man on the bed, âTell me, in one sentence, do you like Tian Ye or not?â
Xiao Yebai doesnât even look at him directly, only finally speaking up, âYou can leave now.â
âHuh.â Ye Bei canât help but laugh, âWhy are you always like this? Do you just not like talking? Iâm really curious, was our little princess attracted to you because of this attitude?â
âThey say women are truly pathetic, especially those like the little princess, who have everything from birth. Conquest is what they love most, especially of things they canât and donât have.â
âSo, you being like this, itâs no wonder she likes you. You maintain a cold face all day, making her think that you donât like her, thereby making her continuously pursue you, trying to please you in every way. In the bedroom, does she like to take the initiative⦠ah!â
Before Ye Bei has finished speaking, a gusty slap abruptly strikes his face.
He didnât even see it coming and only feels a sudden sharp pain at the corner of his mouth. Immediately afterward, thanks to gravity, he quickly slumps sideways, until he finally falls onto the sofa.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With half of his body on the sofa and the other half still on the ground.
An extreme picture of humiliation.
As the shock subsides, extreme rage and embarrassment fill Ye Beiâs face.
He swiftly gets up from the ground, glaring at the man who seemed cold just a moment ago but is now the perpetrator of the assault, âDamn, how dare you hit me?â
Xiao Yebaiâs thin lips form a straight line, his sight falls on Ye Beiâs infuriated face. His handsome features, calm composure remains unfaltering, even his voice remains unchanged.
âGet out.â He says.
Direct and decisive.
Calm but cold.
Oozing with undisguised contempt and disdain.
That feeling, it actually makes Ye Bei appear like an absurdly overactive clown.
Ye Bei can only feel anger and humiliation, âXiao Yebai, did I hit a nerve? Are you getting angry because I said something true?â
