Waking up the next day, Mo Weiyiâs head was foggy, as if jarred by a nightmare.
She barely made an attempt to sit upright before collapsing back onto the bed.
Wrapping herself tightly in a thin quilt, she just lay there, listening to the sound of water from the bathroom.
After a while, the sound finally stopped, and the tall, aloof man emerged.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xiao Yebai placed his well-defined hand on her forehead to feel her temperature.
As expected.
âSeems like you have a bit of a fever.â
Instantly, Mo Weiyi knitted her delicate face in frustration.
No wonder she felt uncomfortable all over.

She asked, âXiaobai, what time is it?â
Xiao Yebai glanced at the time. âNine twenty.â
Nine twenty already?
Mo Weiyi quickly said, âI want to visit grandpa in hospital.â
âI just spoke to Uncle Shi on the phone, he said grandpa woke up this morning in good spirits and even had a bowl of millet porridge. It should be nothing serious.â
âStill, I want to see him.â Mo Weiyi reaffirmed.
Xiao Yebai looked at her.
Her face was reddened, possibly due to her fever, and she had hardly any energy.
Her thin lips pressed slightly together, he said, âFirst, take some antipyretics.â
âOkay.â Mo Weiyi immediately agreed.
Xiao Yebai quickly got up and left, returning shortly with a glass of water and two small white pills in his hand.
Mo Weiyi gulped down the medicine with his help, took a sip of water, got up and put on some comfortable loose clothes, then went to the bathroom for a quick wash.
When she returned to the bedroom and saw the handsome man before the mirror, she couldnât resist walking over and embracing him from behind.
Having a fever really felt awful, sapping all her strength leaving her feeling dazed.
âI feel sleepyâ¦â
Fastening the buttons on his shirt, Xiao Yebai looked down at the woman clinging to him. He gently stroked her long, soft hair with his well-defined fingers, his voice was soft and low, âThe medicine I gave you is supposed to make you sleepy.â
Mo Weiyi just groaned in response. No wonder she felt so heavy-eyed.
âHow about going to the hospital this afternoon, if you canât hold on?â
Mo Weiyi shook her head, âIâd rather visit the hospital first and come back for a sleep.â
Finishing her phrase, she raised her head, propped her chin on his shoulder, her cat-like eyes twinkling with a mischievous smile, âIn any case, youâre with me. If I happen to fall asleep in a bit, remember to carry your wife back home for bed!â
Xiao Yebai: ââ¦â
It was slightly overcast in Nancheng today, so there was no sun and the temperature was rather cool.
After breakfast, the pair set off for the hospital.
Rong An usually went back to the old house on weekends, so unless his service was required, Xiao Yebai would be the one to drive. Mo Weiyi sat in the passenger seat, looking lifeless.
She didnât even put any makeup on today, just applying lipsticks to make her face look better.
Upon reaching the hospital, they bought a bouquet of flowers and directly headed to Old Mr. Moâs ward.
By coincidence, the ward was on the same floor as Shi Huanâs room, both were top-ranking VIP rooms.
The corridor was very quiet, with only a few nurses bustling about.
Two bodyguards stood at the entrance of Old Mr. Moâs room. Seeing Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi approaching, they greeted, âPrincess, young master Xiao.â
Though Mo Weiyi nodded in recognition, she was stopped as she attempted to go inside.
âIâm sorry, Princess, young master Xiao, you canât go in there right now.â
Mo Weiyi asked, âWhy not?â
Xiao Yebai also frowned.
After exchanging a glance with each other, one bodyguard said, âMr. Mo and Ms. Xu are discussing something inside.â
âMy dad and my aunt?â Mo Weiyiâs pretty brows furrowed slightly, âSo what? Why canât Xiaobai and I go in?â
The bodyguard looked conflicted and said, âItâs Mr. Moâs order, he said that no one was allowed in, anyone.â
Upon hearing this, while Xiao Yebaiâs face was still expressionless, Mo Weiyi could no longer hold in her anger. Her pretty face turned cold instantly and her voice became furious, âWhat does that mean? My grandfather is in the hospital and I, his own granddaughter, am not allowed to see him?â
Having already worried about not seeing her grandpa the previous night and then having nightmares, she dragged her feverish body to visit him today only to be told she wasnât allowed to see him. This was beyond frustrating.
Without another word, she reached out to push the door open.
The two bodyguards were flustered but didnât dare act against the Little Princess of the Mo Family. They desperately tried to block and appease her.
âPrincess, please donât put us in this difficult position.â
âIt truly is the masterâs order, we couldnât have done otherwise.â
âPrincessâ¦â
The commotion quickly reached the ward, and soon after the sound of footsteps, the ward door was opened.
Mo Yaoxiong, leaning on his walking stick, came out.
âWhatâs going on?â
The two bodyguards hastily lowered their heads.
Mo Weiyi asked angrily, âDad, what are you and Auntie doing in there? Why wonât they let me in to see Grandpa?â
Mo Yaoxiong frowned deeply and immediately scolded the bodyguards, âYou bastards! How do you do your jobs?â
The bodyguards: ââ¦â
âAlright, when I said I donât want others to disturb us, I didnât mean her. She can come in.â Mo Yaoxiong added.
Mo Weiyi glared at the two bodyguards and immediately went inside.
Upon entering the room, she immediately rushed to the bedside, âGrandpa, youâre okay, right?â
The old patriarch, half-sat in a hospital gown at the head of the bed, draped in a dark sweater, his aged face slightly pallid, but he seemed spirited.
Especially when he saw his beloved granddaughter, he broke into a happy smile, âYiyi is here.â
