âYebai, ha ha ha ha, Iâm dying of laughter. I just staged a robbery scene with my men, and you wonât believe this â the driver was so scared he pissed his pants on the spot, damn ⦠and Little Princessâs young aunty, oh my god, itâs hilarious ⦠sheâs so old and she really thought I was interested in her, ha ha ha haâ¦â
âGet to the point.â Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes.@@novelbin@@
Zhan Yaoâs voice turned serious in an instant, âSheâs not sick, but instead, she isâ¦â
He chuckled, âPregnant.â
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yebaiâs eyes fell into darkness, âPregnant?â
âYes.â Zhan Yao burst into laughter again, âThose two are so damn hilarious, so stupid. A little lie from my boys got us in their car ⦠but the cash they carried was too damn little, only a few hundred yuan, not enough to cover the petrol.â
âConsidering the stupid way you went about it, a few hundred is not bad.â
Zhan Yao: ââ¦â
After a couple of coughs, he quickly said, âJust wanted to get a quick result, didnât really expect to actually get the truth. By the way.â
Zhan Yao reminded, âXu Jing lives in a mansion near the software park. Itâs a bit far from the city center and quite expensive. Yebai, donât you think somethingâs off?â
A slender finger stroked the pen gently, Xiao Yebaiâs brow twitched slightly.
Zhan Yao started to analyse, âIf it were as Mo Yaoxiong said, that Xu Jing is with another man now, then why would the Mo family send so many maids and bodyguards to look after her, keeping everything under wraps, even lying and saying she is sick. The mansion she lives in doesnât come cheap, and Xu Jing quit her job so she wouldnât be able to afford living there. Let me look up whose name that villa is under.â
Xiao Yebai said, âNo need to look up.â
ââ¦â Zhan Yao paused, then quickly understood, âYouâve suspected this all along, havenât you?â
The child Xu Jing is carrying is Mo Yaoxiongâs.
Thatâs why she lives in the mansion, keeping it a secret from everyone, even Mo Yaoxiong helped her lie about everything.
âThe thing I was worried about has finally happened. Over the years, the old man has not given you shares of the Mo family. He must be guarding against you. Yebai, what are you planning to do now?â
Xiao Yebai said casually, âThey cannot have this child.â
âThatâs right. But this, you shouldnât get involved.â Zhan Yao reminded his friend again, âThe old man Mo doesnât trust you, Mo Yaoxiong has been hot and cold with you, probably cautious of you. But the Little Princess, she is truly dedicated to you.â
His voice became serious, âConsidering Little Princessâs temperament, if she finds out her young aunty and dad has been together, with a child on the way, what do you think she would do?â
What would she do?
Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes.
Last time, just because Xu Jing was present when Old man Mo fainted, Mo Weiyi slapped Xu Jing in public.
âWith Little Princessâs fiery temper, no matter what she does, the Mo family wouldnât dare to touch her. Unlike you, it would be a different story.â Zhan Yao ended his analysis, âYou should think it over. I will continue to keep track of Xu Jingâs movements.â
âAlright.â
âOkay, letâs call it a day.â
In his study, Xiao Yebai lifted a half-smoked cigarette to his lips.
The pale smoke diffused in the air, blurring his stunning profile.
After finishing the cigarette, with his fingers extinguishing the ember, the man finally got up and left.
â¦
As soon as Zhan Yao hung up the phone, he rolled down the car window and yelled, âGet in the car.â
The woman who was originally waiting by the roadside quickly ran over.
Once in the driverâs seat, she started the engine while sheepishly asking, âCaptain, are we going home or getting some late-night snacks?â
âGo home.â Zhan Yao closed his eyes wearily.
Fuck it.
He was suddenly called out by that brat for something, had to tail that Audi for more than an hour, performed that bloody act in the middle of nowhere and now the smell of smoke and drink on him made him want to puke.
âBut Captain, Iâm hungry. Can we get some late-night snacks first?â
âGu Dazhuang!â Zhan Yao turned his head suddenly and harshly berated the woman driving the car. âEating, eating, eating! Is that all you do all day? And what was that rotten idea earlier? I almost lost my virtue to that old woman! That hag could be my mother, yet you made me sacrifice myself like that! If this happens again, go fuck off!â
With the smell of perfume in his nostrils, he rolled down the car window immediately.
Still not satisfied, he took out his lighter and cigarette and started smoking.
After a few deep puffs, he finally managed to get rid of the womanâs fragrance.
The woman called âGu Dazhuangâ had taken off her mask and cap at this point, revealing a charming little face.
After taking a glance at Zhan Yao, she stuck out her tongue and focused on driving the car.
Forget it.
It seemed like the boss was in a bad mood. It would be best not to provoke him for now.
â¦
Mansion One.
Within the villa, Xu Jing was somewhat shaken. After taking a bath, she went to bed.
Xiaoli was in the living room answering the phone.
Mo Yaoxiong asked him, âDid you get a good look at what those two people looked like?â
âThey both wore masks. The woman was quite pretty, and the man was very tall. Both of them were quite young. The man was holding a knife, and the woman seemed to have a gun in her hand.â
âA gun? Are you sure?â
China is a lawful society. How could ordinary people casually carry guns?
Xiaoli frowned and changed his statement, âIâm only suspicious. The thing was cold and hard, pressed against the back of my neck. It could have been⦠a metal rod?â
Mo Yaoxiong: ââ¦â
âMiss Xu was quite frightened. I didnât dare to call the police. After those two left, I immediately drove her back.â
Mo Yaoxiong asked again, âDid you get a clear look at the plate number of their car?â
âThe intersection did not have any lights, and the situation was too urgent. After hearing that Miss Xu was pregnant, they immediately took the money and left. Miss Xu was terrified, and I didnât have time to look closely.â
âWas it just the four of you at the scene?â
âYes, this road seldom has other people, and it was around nine oâclock in the evening.â Xiaoli swallowed, âSir, I suspect these two might have been acting on impulse. They left after taking the cash and didnât even dare to take the bank card.â
âHmm.â Mo Yaoxiong finally seemed to be reassured, âKeep an eye on Xu Jing these days. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the villa!â
âOkay, I got it.â
â¦
The old Mo family residence.
Mo Yaoxiong hung up the phone, his face tightened.
Because Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi were both present tonight, to avoid arousing suspicions, he could only let Xiaoli drive Xu Jing home alone without assigning a bodyguard, and they happened to run into two robbers?
Something felt off to him, but he couldnât figure out what was wrong.
All signs seemed to indicate that this was just an ordinary robbery. After all, neither Xu Jing nor Xiaoli were hurt, and not much money was lost, butâ¦
Was it really that simple?
After pondering, Mo Yaoxiong picked up the phone and dialed Mo Weiyiâs number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
âWeiyi.â
âDad, itâs me.â
The low, calm voice made Mo Yaoxiong pause, âYebai, where is Weiyi?â
âShe drank too much tonight and is already asleep.â Xiao Yebaiâs voice was calm. âDad, did you need something from Weiyi?â
Mo Yaoxiong could only say, âNo, I just wanted to make sure you both got home safely. Itâs pretty late, and I was a bit worried. As long as you two are fine.â
âWe are fine.â Xiao Yebai laughed lightly, âDad, you should rest earlier.â
âAlright, you should also rest early.â
â¦
Lishui Bay Villa.
The bedroom on the second floor.
Xiao Yebai hung up the phone and went to the side of the bed.
Having made her drink tonight, she started feeling sleepy on the way home. Upon arriving home, she fell asleep the moment her head touched the pillow.
Her eyes were closed, her lashes were curled and long. Her cheeks, rosy against her fair skin, appeared especially delicate and pretty under the light.
Xiao Yebai sat on the edge of the bed, raising his handâ¦
âWeiyi.â
ââ¦â Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, lifted her hand and cast off whatever was disturbing her sleep.
âGoing to sleep without taking a bath?â Xiao Yebai asked.
Mo Weiyi didnât say a word, turned her cheek and slept peacefullyâ¦
