Chapter 739: Chapter 738: 738, Zhan Yao’s Dark Past

Her delicate eyelashes fluttered as the cat-like eyes slowly opened.

“Xiaobai?” Her voice was soft and gentle, tinged with sleepiness, “What are you doing?”

Xiao Yebai’s voice was deep and beguiling as he asked, “Awake?”

“So sleepy… I want to sleep more…” Mo Weiyi mumbled drowsily.

“Sleep?”

“…”

Before Mo Weiyi could say more, the man’s voice murmured in a low, tantalizing whisper, “Are you sure you want to sleep?”

The end of his sentence rose in a slightly lazy manner, carrying a hint of carelessness, but it had the richness of a vintage wine that tingled the ears and numbed the heart.

Half-closing her eyes, Mo Weiyi wondered why his voice seemed to intoxicate her even more.

“Speak.” Xiao Yebai stared at her.

As if zapped, Mo Weiyi opened her mouth and replied, “Yes…”@@novelbin@@

The man’s lips curved in a light smile, “Weiyi.”

“Hmm…”

“Do you like me?”

She obediently responded, “Yes, I like you.”

Xiao Yebai asked further, “Do you love me?”

“Yes.”

“Say you love me.”

“I love you.”

“Say it all together.”

“I love you.”

Mo Weiyi could only reply one by one as he prompted.

Being extremely tired and drunk, her mind wasn’t clear, and she answered whatever he threw at her.

Finally, Xiao Yebai let her be. Mo Weiyi closed her eyes contentedly, her long eyelashes casting two shadows on her cheeks as she quickly drifted into sleep.

The man continued to gaze at her serene sleeping face.

His eyes, deep and intense, gradually filled with complex emotions.

The next day.

When Mo Weiyi woke up, she felt a throbbing hangover headache.

Ziaobai had unexpectedly agreed to drink with her during dinner last night.

She couldn’t handle alcohol well and had felt tipsy on the drive home. She fell asleep as soon as she got to bed and remembered last night’s incidents vividly.

Turning over with a hum, Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but curl a smile on her lips.

This rotten Xiaobai!

So naughty!

She deliberately checked the trash can and the bathroom once she got up.

As presumed, no incriminating evidence appeared.

But she didn’t feel as desperate to get pregnant as before.

What she wanted now was to spend more time in the law firm, get her diploma, and leave the matter of having children to fate.

If she was pregnant, she would have the baby.

If she wasn’t, she wouldn’t mind.

After all, she and Xiaobai were both young, and they could think of having kids anytime.

Mo Weiyi went to the sink, took out her electric toothbrush, squeezed some toothpaste, but her eyes froze on the mirror reflection.

Bruises in various shades of red and purple.

Touches of pain lingered when she probed them with her hand.

Upon a closer examination, she finally realized…

That was just about enough!

Mo Weiyi inwardly criticized.

This Xiaobai, looking quite formal on the outside but harboring such preferences privately!

Why did he like biting people, just like a puppy?

Back in her bedroom, her phone suddenly rang.

Mo Weiyi walked over and picked up the phone, “Dad.”

“Weiyi, just got up?” Mo Yaoxiong asked.

Mo Weiyi glanced at the time. It was already 10 a.m. Ahem.

“Yes, I… overdid it last night.” That’s the only way to explain it.

Mo Yaoxiong didn’t say much, “Have some hangover tea, you’ll feel better.”

“Okay.”

“Alright, no other issues then, goodbye.”

“…Okay.”

The call was hung up.

Mo Weiyi frowned, looking puzzled.

Did he call just to ask if she had hangover tea?

…

At a high-end restaurant downtown.

At noon, there were many customers coming and going, but the door to the innermost private room remained closed, with no waitstaff going in or out.

Until the door was knocked twice.

Zhan Yao tilted his head.

The woman beside him quickly got up to open the door.

Xiao Yebai stood outside, dressed in a black suit, wearing rimless glasses. His handsome face, calm and indifferent, showed no particular reaction to seeing her.

“Come in quickly, I’ve ordered the meals, been waiting for you forever.” Zhan Yao called out.

The woman quickly moved aside, letting Xiao Yebai in.

“Gu Dazhuang, close the door.” Zhan Yao commanded, rising to pull out a chair.

Xiao Yebai sat down, glancing briefly around the table.

The table was a mess.

Clearly, the meal had been devoured.

“Cough cough.” Zhan Yao coughed twice, “You were the one who said you would treat, so you’ll pay the bill later!”

Xiao Yebai turned to look at “Gu Dazhuang”.

Zhan Yao explained, “Her name is Gu Dazhuang, she’s my confidante.”

Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow, “You have confidantes?”

“What do you mean? I’m the team leader now.” Zhan Yao felt it necessary for this brat to understand him, “Remember the time I got injured? I was awarded first class merit. Coincidentally, the previous team leader wasn’t in good health and retired after accomplishing his mission, so I took over…”

“Are you talking about…” Xiao Yebai interrupted him calmly, “The time you took a bullet to your buttocks?”

“Damn it! You…”

Before he could finish, the woman beside him burst into laughter, quickly covering her mouth and saying apologetically, “I didn’t mean to laugh, Sir.”

But it was just too funny.

Who dared to mention it in front of him usually?

Everyone in the team knew about the embarrassing incident of him getting shot in a certain part of his body. It was simply Zhan Yao’s dark secret.

Zhan Yao, a scowl etched on his handsome face, waved a hand, “Go out, no coming in without my orders!”

If she stayed any longer, who knew what embarrassing stories she might bring up.

“Yes.” Gu Dazhuang turned and hurried out, even thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

Zhan Yao heaved a sigh of relief, about to offer the tablet for him to order…

“Tell me the investigation results.”

Zhan Yao could only put the tablet down silently, “As you guessed, old man Mo bought a villa in Complex 1 half a month ago, the day after he was hospitalized. These are the photos my subordinates took.”

Xiao Yebai took the leather envelope and pulled out the photographs.

All were taken secretly, with Xu Jing as the main subject.

He took a look through a few then put them back.

“Have you decided what to do?” Zhan Yao asked.

Xiao Yebai remained silent, his face calm.

Zhan Yao advised, “Our Little Princess may have a fiery temper, but she trusts you the most. Plus, she’s indeed quite naive. I think, the best thing might be to find a way to encourage her to… abort the child.”

Xiao Yebai suddenly looked up at him.

His eyes were dark and piercing.

Like a flash of cold light, Zhan Yao’s heart shuddered. He hurriedly explained, “I know it sounds ruthless, but it really is the best solution. Even if the old man still wants grandchildren, if his granddaughter, unknowingly, terminates the pregnancy, he would at most chide her before letting it go. Mo Yaoxiong would never harm his own daughter. After all, if they didn’t care about her feelings, they wouldn’t have chosen to hide such a scandal.”

After hearing this, Xiao Yebai still remained silent.
