Chapter 696: Chapter 695: 695, Proud Little Princess

When Mo Weiyi was lying in the hospital bed receiving an intravenous drip, Xiao Yebai held her mobile phone and called her master to ask for a leave.

…

At that time, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.

The homebody, Lu Chenyu, was sitting in the living room playing Honor of Kings when a notification suddenly popped up on the screen…

“Incoming call from Mo Weiyi”.

Naturally, Lu Chenyu impatiently rejected the call.

He was in the middle of a game!

And both teams had lost all three lanes, with only one crystal left, it was the most critical moment!

However, just when he was about to pursue a weak enemy, Mo Weiyi’s call came through again.

Lu Chenyu rejected it again, and in the game’s voice chat, one teammate asked, “Why didn’t you finish off that enemy Yu Ji? She had barely any health left.”

Without missing a beat, Lu Chenyu responded, “Some idiot keeps calling me.”

Teammate: “…Okay.”

Indeed, it was very disruptive to get interrupted by annoying calls while playing a game!

Soon, another intense group fight broke out. Zhang Fei was taking damage in the front line, and the other teammates were also keeping up, but, after a mutual exchange of skills, all teammates were wiped out.

There were three enemies left, all with low health.

And Lu Chenyu’s Achang was just the assassin to finish off those with low health!

It was his time!

He’s coming to the stage now!

Lu Chenyu targeted all three enemies with his hero’s ultimate ability, only to remain dumbfounded when…

Mo Weiyi’s call came in again!

As he quickly hung up and switched back to the game, the screen went black, and his hero, Achang, had died.

All of his team was wiped out, the crystal was soon destroyed, and they lost the match.

Lu Chenyu: “…”

Mo Weiyi’s call came in again!

“Why are you calling me? You called four times in a row! Do you have any idea I almost died?”

Before Xiao Yebai could speak, Lu Chenyu quickly questioned again, “You better give me a good reason! Right now! Immediately! If I’m not satisfied, don’t bother coming to work tomorrow!”

“…” There was silence on the other end of the call.

Lu Chenyu coughed lightly, about to scold again.

“Do you need me to call an ambulance?” A very cold, deep male voice resonated in the earpiece.

Lu Chenyu felt a jolt.

Wait!

Who is this…?

He quickly changed his tone, “Oh, it’s Mr. Xiao. What can I do for you?”

His tone was completely opposite to the previous anger, it became… extremely respectful?

Xiao Yebai said blandly, “I’m sorry, Weiyi suddenly got a fever and isn’t feeling well. She wants to take a sick leave for a day.”

“Alright.” Lu Chenyu agreed very quickly, “But isn’t a one-day sick leave too short? Will a week be enough?”

Xiao Yebai: “…”

“A fever isn’t a small illness. I’ve checked the weather forecast. The temperature difference in Nancheng is quite drastic these days, you need to take care of your health. If one week isn’t enough, take two weeks, if two weeks aren’t enough, take one month. Take your time to recuperate, take care of your health.”

“No need.” Xiao Yebai replied in his usual cold tone, “One day is sufficient.”

“Mr. Xiao, you don’t have to be so polite.” Lu Chenyu chuckled.

…

Hospital.

When Xiao Yebai returned to the ward, Mo Weiyi immediately asked him, “Did you manage to get the leave? Did my master scold me?”

“No, he told you to rest well.”

“Really?” Mo Weiyi looked at him suspiciously.

He didn’t scold her?

On the contrary, he told her to rest well?

Is he that kind?

“Yes.” Xiao Yebai’s face and tone were very calm, not like he was lying.

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Why does she find it unbelievable?

She didn’t do her homework and asked for leave, but Lu Chenyu didn’t scold her? Is it raining blood from the sky?

In reality.

Mo Weiyi requesting leave did indeed make Lu Chenyu very happy.

The next morning.

When he got to the law firm, he intentionally paused when passing by the assistant’s office and glanced inside.

Seeing Mo Weiyi’s empty seat, he felt a surge of happiness.

The plague has finally not come to work.

He could talk less today.

“Mr. Lu, do you have any instructions?” Old Wang had already stood up.

Lu Chenyu looked at him, his thin lips curving up in satisfaction, “No.”

After speaking, he left in high spirits, leaving Old Wang standing there, feeling at a loss.

Oh my gosh!

Did Lawyer Lu just smile at him?

It was simply too shocking!

Having been an assistant for five years, this was the first time he saw the normally expressionless Lawyer Lu smile!

…

Lu Chenyu even called his close friend to report the news, “The Little Princess didn’t come to work today.”

There was a clear note of excitement in his voice.

Chu Xiuhuang naturally caught onto it, “Oh, so the Little Princess finally couldn’t hold up?”

Just as he was about to congratulate his friend….

“No.”

Lu Chenyu sighed deeply, “Xiao called me last night, said she had a fever. Although I suspect she was lying, she probably just didn’t want to work.”

“Hmm.” Chu Xiuhuang agreed, “Once she gets away with it once, there’s always a second time. Today she has a fever, tomorrow she needs to go back to school, the day after the pipes at her house burst, and the next she’ll have a wedding to attend…”

“So I gave her a week off.” Lu Chenyu added, “To save her the trouble of making up excuses.”

Chu Xiuhuang: “…..”.

This master is really too thoughtful!

**

As expected, at around eight o’clock the next morning, Lu Chenyu received another call from Mo Weiyi.

“Master, good morning.”

That moment, Lu Chenyu was in the kitchen making a healthy breakfast for himself, one hand holding a sharp kitchen knife and the other holding his phone, “What’s up?”

“I suddenly received a call from the class leader, saying that everyone has to go back to school today to discuss some event, so I need to take another day off.”

“Okay.” Lu Chenyu agreed very readily.

Mo Weiyi was somewhat nervous, “Master, I’m sorry for taking two days off in a row, but rest assured, I’ll immediately send you the homework you assigned me when I get back to the law firm.”

“No rush.”

“Then… goodbye, Master?”

“Goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chenyu cheerfully cut his toast in half.

**

Nancheng University.

Having just recovered from a major illness and not having returned to school for a long time, Mo Weiyi was in a good mood today.

After meeting with professors and classmates in the morning, she called Su Wanwan to have lunch together at noon.

When the time came, Mo Weiyi arrived at the cafeteria, and from a distance, she saw another girl standing next to Su Wanwan.

“Wanwan.”

Bai Ruwei pleaded, “I’m really helpless, can’t you help me persuade Zhexi?”

“How can I persuade him? That’s between you two.”

Su Wanwan felt helpless.

As soon as she got back to Nancheng yesterday, she received a call from Bai Ruwei, who said that Huo Zhexi suddenly moved out of his home and rented a house to live with her!

Bai Ruwei asked her to persuade Huo Zhexi not to let personal feelings affect his relationship with his parents, claiming she couldn’t convince him herself.

“But Zhexi doesn’t listen to me at all. Besides you, I don’t know anyone else from the Huo Family. Wanwan, I beg you, can you help convince him? I really don’t want Mr. and Mrs. Huo to think it was my idea, I really didn’t.”

Su Wanwan looked at Bai Ruwei, “I really can’t help with this. First of all, I don’t like meddling in other people’s affairs, and as a younger generation, it’s not my place to intervene. Second.”

She said, word for word, “I’m really busy. I just got back from my internship yesterday, and now I have to edit footage, write copy, and string together voice-overs every day. I have to complete a finished program in 10 days. After that, I have to prepare my graduation thesis and the continuation of my internship at the TV station. You should be quite busy too, right? Have you figured out the direction of your graduation thesis? Have you found an internship? Have you decided where you’re going to work in the future?”

Bai Ruwei was somewhat stunned.

“Wanwan.” Mo Weiyi’s voice rang out in time.

Su Wanwan immediately said, “My friend is here, we’re going to eat, see you.”

**

Once they got upstairs in the cafeteria and settled down, Mo Weiyi asked her curiously, “What did Bai Ruwei want with you?”

“She’s dating Huo Zhexi, and Zhexi even moved out of his family’s house to live with her.”

“Really?” Mo Weiyi widened her eyes, “Wow, it looks like they’re really in love!”

Su Wanwan: “…..”.

She wasn’t sure if they were really in love, but one thing was certain: Mingzhu must be furious!

But regarding this matter, Su Wanwan really didn’t want to get involved. She picked up the menu to order, enjoying her moment of peace, until they were interrupted again.

“Wow, what a coincidence?”

Mo Weiyi looked up, “Ling Zhizhou?”

Ling Zhizhou had already walked over and politely greeted her, “Hello, senior Su.”

Su Wanwan nodded at him then continued ordering.

The two of them began chatting.

“Senior, I heard you’re interning at Yurui Law Firm?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve heard the law firm is very famous and their requirements are particularly strict. It’s very difficult for ordinary people to get in.”

“It’s been alright?”

Su Wanwan immediately glanced at Mo Weiyi.

That girl, getting all smug?
