Chapter 749: Chapter 748: 748, don't tell Xiaobai

After signing, Lu Chenyu stood up, “Mr. Xiao, it’s a pleasure to cooperate with you.”

Xiao Yebai raised his hand and shook his.

“In that case, we will leave first,” Lu Chenyu said, quickly packing his briefcase.

Go!

Leave quickly!

Hurry up and go!

Xiao Yebai took a look and chose not to comment.

“Zhong Kai, help me see Mr. Lu out.”

“Sure. Mr. Lu, this way please.” Zhong Kai quickly gestured.

Lu Chenyu walked away, his briefcase in his hand.

Hiking up his leg speed.

The others immediately got up to keep up.

Mo Weiyi packed her pen and paper, just stood up, but her wrist was suddenly held by a man.

“What are you doing! The soft voice of a woman suddenly rang out.”

Xiao Yebai: “…”

The others also instantly looked over.

Mo Weiyi stood there, clutching her notebook, looking defensive.

And as for Xiao Yebai, gripping her arm, despite being rebuked, still remained impassive, even casting a casual glance at the onlookers.

Zhong Kai quickly said, “Everyone, please.”

All being elites in their profession and cunning individuals in society, they quickly understood the relationship between the two. After a brief surprise, they hurriedly made their exit.

The last person to leave even kindly closed the door.

Only Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi were left in the meeting room.

“What’s wrong?”

The man took a step forward, his deep voice filled with a magnetic attraction. Because he purposely lowered his voice, it was exceptionally charming.

Mo Weiyi turned her head, huffing in silence.

She was truly angry.

The whole meeting had left her with nowhere to vent, filled with various frustrations and wild thoughts, anger piling up higher and higher.

“Weiyi?” Xiao Yebai’s brow furrowed slightly.

Mo Weiyi took a deep breath, turned her face back, and asked straightforwardly, “I want to ask you, is there anything you’re hiding from me?”

A fleeting emotion flashed through the depths of his dark and deep eyes.

Then he looked at her and did not speak.

Mo Weiyi remained silent too.

Their eyes met in the silence.

Standing very close to each other.

All was quiet in the meeting room.

In the midday sunshine of late April, sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, showing the bright spring landscape outside. Occasional car horns and birdcalls could be heard.

But Mo Weiyi felt her anger slowly coagulate and cool down, finally turning into a wave of coldness.

The more silent he was, the greater the chill.

“Didn’t you hear my question?” She couldn’t help but ask again.

Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, “Why are you suddenly asking this? Did something happen?”

“Just answer me – are you hiding something from me?” Mo Weiyi continued to ask.

She stared at his face unblinkingly, hoping to discover even the slightest hint of guilt or embarrassment.

But no.

Xiao Yebai continued to be his usual elegant and aloof self. His handsome face did not even twitch, and his dreamy, peach-blossom eyes stared at her with a concentration that blackened them like ink, so rich as if they could almost drip.

Usually, this kind of gaze would immerse her and made her feel loved as if she was the only one in his eyes.

But at this moment, she found herself unusually calm.

Finally, Xiao Yebai asked softly, “What do you want to know?”

Mo Weiyi laughed quickly.

He was still in character.

Indeed, always like this.

Indeed, he never deceived her, but was equally never upfront with her.

After their last cold war and knowing that she had a place in his heart, their relationship was back to being as sweet as before, even better than before.

He started to buy her gifts, prepared surprises for her, and took the initiative to be good to her.

Mo Weiyi was willing to forget the unpleasant past, happy to take it slow, and keen to continue being a carefree young girl.

She had been blissful these few days, so much so that she had forgotten about the existence of a person named Tian Ye.

But it was only until she saw Tian Ye in the lobby, who unabashedly handed her the keys, that she realized that this man had been hiding so much from her.

Zhan Yao once said that if Xiao Yebai truly liked Tian Ye, he would have confessed his feelings years ago, and wouldn’t have waited until now. But why did he secretly give Tian Ye a house?

In Nancheng, even a casual villa would cost at least tens of millions.

All that money, given to a woman without a blink, even when refused and attempted to return; he not only didn’t accept it, he actually had his assistant deliver it back?

“Weiyi, what are you thinking about?” Her chin was lifted, and as Xiao Yebai spoke, his familiar cool breath wafted over her.

Mo Weiyi returned to the present.

Looking at the stunning outline before her, she took a deep breath, almost asked him something but changed her words at the last moment, “Did you use the cup I bought yesterday?”

Hearing this, Xiao Yebai relaxed slightly, “Yes, I’ve been using it.”

“That’s good.” After Mo Weiyi replied, she returned to silent mode.

Her eyes slightly lowered, revealing her beautifully long and curled eyelashes against the backdrop of her clear, clean cheeks. Her oval face in between his fingers looked especially dainty and exquisite, without any flaws in her perfect features.

His eyes dimmed as his actions have already taken precedence over his thoughts.

Mo Weiyi didn’t resist.

…

After an intimate moment, Xiao Yebai moved away slightly.

He said, “Your lipstick is smudged.”

Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, looking down to find a tissue.

Xiao Yebai extended his arm to slide the tissue box towards him.

His well-defined fingers pulled out a tissue, starting to wipe her lips.

Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but look at his face again.

The man was handsome, looking particularly gentle with glasses on, but because of what just happened… a faint red hue lingered on his lips, making him not so unapproachable, on the contrary, it made him especially sexy.

He was looking at her, his expression serious and focused, the lines on his face had softened a lot compared to before.

Was it because of what she had just asked that made him gentle?

Mo Weiyi’s mind began to wander.

“Done.” After pinching her cheek, Xiao Yebai threw the tissue into the trash bin beside him.

Mo Weiyi turned to leave.

But her wrist was once again held back.

She turned around, her expression was normal, “What’s wrong?”

Behind his glasses, Xiao Yebai’s eyes slightly narrowed, “Did Lu Chenyu upset you again?”

“No.”

Xiao Yebai’s lips curled up as he loosened his fingers, “Go ahead.”

…

Upon opening the door, Zhong Kai was standing right there, waiting.

“Princess.”

Looking at him, Mo Weiyi suddenly said, “Zhong Kai, escort me downstairs.”

“Of course, princess.”

Zhong Kai naturally did as the Little Princess asked.

Watching the two get into the elevator, Xiao Yebai only then turned towards his office.

*

*

Inside the elevator.

Zhong Kai pressed for the first floor, just about to speak.

“Zhong Kai, are you hiding anything from me?”

Zhong Kai was startled, “Princess, what do you mean by that?”@@novelbin@@

Mo Weiyi turned her face, her beautiful eyes staring straight at him, “You answer my question first.”

“No.”

He would rather die than admit it.

“Hmm.” Mo Weiyi raised her red lips, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true.” Zhong Kai looked sincerely at her.

Mo Weiyi smiled, “Then, what about the key you gave to Tian Ye?”

“…” Zhong Kai froze completely.

“Why are you silent? Have you lost your voice? Are you deaf? Or is your tongue tied?” Mo Weiyi interrogated him word by word, with unquestionable authority.

Zhong Kai was already sweating profusely.

“Speak!”

Zhong Kai trembled, hurriedly saying, “Princess, I don’t know much about this matter as well. I did give out the key, but… it was Xiao who instructed me to do so, I don’t know anything else, I didn’t dare to ask.”

“Where did you send it?”

“Tian Ye’s company.”

“When did you send it?”

“Yesterday noon.”

“Who’s the house owner?”

“Yiyun Villa.”

Mo Weiyi squinted her cat-like eyes, “You wouldn’t be lying to me, would you?”

“Princess, I wouldn’t dare.” Zhong Kai was shaking uncontrollably.

Now he understood! She was not as sweet and innocent as she seemed!

The elevator door opened, and Mo Weiyi walked out in her high heels.

Waiting outside was Rong An, who came forward to greet her, “Princess.”

Mo Weiyi stopped, “Zhong Kai.”

“Princess.” Zhong Kai quickly stepped forward.

Mo Weiyi still stood with her back towards him, “Don’t tell Xiaobai about this.”

Her tone was casual, but the threat was implicit.

Zhong Kai could only agree, “Don’t worry, princess. I’ll keep it a secret.”

…

Only after Mo Weiyi and Rong An left did Zhong Kai stand still, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

God.

This married couple, each hiding something from the other… why was he stuck in the middle?
