Chapter 979: Mobei Fanwai 69, Xiao Yebai's another appearance in the night [Second update completed] Chapter 979: Mobei Fanwai 69, Xiao Yebai's another appearance in the night [Second update completed] In the closed study.
“It has been found out that the owner of this car is likely renting out the license plate number. The last person who rented it is named Tian Xingwei. I've looked into his network, and he was once at a company where a man named Quan Muze was the legal representative–that is, Ling Zhizhou's distant cousin. It was him who planted a mole in your company three years ago, although that person adamantly refused to admit knowing him.”
Xiao Yebai uttered a “hmm” in response.
“In these past three years, Quan Muze has mostly been active in Nancheng, and now he's running an investment business.”
Seeing that Xiao Yebai didn't speak, Zhan Yao continued, “For the past couple of days at noon, I have had people keeping watch near the law firm. Those guys don't seem to have done anything substantial.”
“If they haven't done anything, let's make them do something.”
“You mean…” draw the snake out of the hole? Zhan Yao immediately asked, “So, what do you plan to do?”
“Have you ever been in love?” Xiao Yebai suddenly changed the subject.
Zhan Yao was stunned, “Been in love?”
“Mhm.”
“What do you mean?” Zhan Yao, the straightforward man, didn't understand right away, “You've run into problems with love again? I was saying, when I called you the other day, I felt something was off with you. That won't do, I must talk to the Little Princess at your place…”
“Do not scare the snake by beating the grass.”
“…Right.” Zhan Yao clicked his tongue. “Those guys have been lingering outside your neighborhood; if I show up, they will probably guess that they've been exposed. What should we do then, my great-nephew still hasn't met his attractive police uncle yet. And you, why not send me a few pictures of the adorable little guy?”
“… Hanging up.” Xiao Yebai finished speaking and hung up the phone directly.
Two seconds later, Zhan Yao's phone received a photo.
It was sent by Xiao Yebai.
And the photo he sent was… his own WeChat avatar, which was a selfie with Mo Weiyi and Little Nuonuo.
In his bachelor apartment, the single dog Zhan Yao instantly cursed out loud, “Fuck!”
**
Xiao Yebai returned to the upstairs bedroom, and it was already 10 p.m.
Only a single desk lamp was left on in the room, and Mo Weiyi lay in bed, appearing to have already fallen asleep.
Xiao Yebai closed the bedroom door and went into the bathroom with a pair of shorts.
After he took a shower and lay down on the large bed, it didn't take long for the woman, who had seemed to be asleep, to roll over into his arms as if guided.
Under the dim light of the bedside lamp, Xiao Yebai looked down at her.
Her distinguished, small oval face, delicate features, and calm sleeping countenance shone. Her black, fluffy curls were slightly messy, half-draped across her face.
Unconsciously, his long fingers lifted, gently brushed her hair aside, and then moved to touch her face.
The Little Princess had been pampered from a young age, acquiring a delicate and pale complexion so fair that the slightest touch left marks, either blue or red.
So whenever he did that kind of thing, he couldn't help leaving his own marks on her body…
Thinking this, his hand involuntarily grew firmer.
Mo Weiyi frowned slightly, made a sound, and buried her face in his chest.
Xiao Yebai loosened his grip, but the corners of his lips gradually formed a smile.
Suddenly, the phone beside him lit up.
Xiao Yebai glanced at it.
After hesitating for only a second, he reached for the phone.
Mo Weiyi's phone had no password at all, and he saw at a glance the WeChat message displayed on the screen.
Baby Wanwan: “[I've thought carefully about the question you asked me today, and I feel that since there is no love left, it's best to part on good terms, so you need to communicate well…]”
The message was long, but only the first two lines were displayed on the screen.
Xiao Yebai just stared at those two lines on his phone screen until the screen automatically dimmed due to inactivity.
In the darkness, he put the phone back where it originally was, then turned off the light and lay down.
**
Mo Weiyi had her eyes closed, and as she turned around, her fingers touched something cold, causing her eyebrows to knit together before she suddenly woke up.
Opening her eyes, the bedroom was pitch black.
She moved her fingers, then groped around the space next to her.
“Xiaobai?”
No one answered.
Mo Weiyi abruptly sat up and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp.
She was the only one on the large bed, the bedroom was very quiet, and Little Nuonuo was still sound asleep in the adjacent child's bed, but the man who was supposed to be lying next to her was nowhere to be seen.
Mo Weiyi suddenly felt a wave of panic.
Recently, Xiao Yebai had been responsible for driving her to and fro every morning and evening, which naturally shortened his own commuting time. It was not unusual for him to go to the study to work on company matters after coming home, so it wasn't the first time he hadn't come upstairs after she had fallen asleep the night before.
But this was the first time since moving back in, she woke up in the middle of the night to find herself alone on the large bed…
She checked the time, 1:30 AM.
Mo Weiyi threw off the blankets and got out of bed.
She first checked the bathroom–no one there.
Then she opened the door leading to the dressing room–again, no one there.
Mo Weiyi's hands and feet were gradually growing cold.
She returned to the side of the large bed, intending to grab her phone to make a call, when she noticed Xiao Yebai's phone on the nightstand.
That meant he must have come back earlier.
Mo Weiyi's lips tightened as she turned around, immediately opened the bedroom door, and walked straight out.
She was about to go downstairs to look for someone when, upon stepping out, she saw light spilling from the next room's semi-closed door.
Mo Weiyi turned and went over,
The door was ajar and swung open with a push.
Upon seeing the man lying on his side on the bed with his back to her, Mo Weiyi let out a huge sigh of relief.
This was the second time she had seen Xiao Yebai's other side during the night.
If it weren't for Xiao Yebai himself asking her, she would have thought that the week spent sleeping in the same bed had truly brought his condition under control.
So he hadn't recovered at all.
That meant, just as Su Wanwan had said, every night he would still wake up from nightmares and then continue to wander about alone.
Should she feel relieved that she was just lying in the next room, so he didn't go out alone in the car again?
But since she was just in the next room, hadn't he said that as long as he held her, he wouldn't have nightmares? Why would he go sleep alone in the bed in the next room?
In the quiet depths of the night, Mo Weiyi sat at the edge of the large bed, gazing at the man's peacefully sleeping handsome face while pondering the answer…
Until about half an hour later, with her legs and feet numb, Mo Weiyi had to stand up, “Xiaobai?”
The man had his eyes closed and did not react.
“Xiaobai?” Mo Weiyi reached out and pushed his shoulder.
Still no response.
She increased her strength, pushing continually and forcefully.
Finally, the man's eyelids twitched, and then he opened his eyes.
When he saw Mo Weiyi, clad in her pajamas, standing by the bed, a momentary bewilderment flashed through Xiao Yebai's dark eyes, and quickly, he sat up and asked, “What's wrong?”
Mo Weiyi looked at him, “Did you have a nightmare again?”
Xiao Yebai seemed to come to his senses and took in his surroundings, then furrowed his brows slightly.
Mo Weiyi's heart softened immediately, and she reached out to hug his shoulder, “What time did you come home last night?”
“After ten.”
“I was too busy yesterday during the day, didn't rest at noon, so I fell asleep waiting for you last night…” Mo Weiyi said apologetically, “These past few nights, have you been having nightmares again?”
“Your hands are so cold.” Instead of answering her question, Xiao Yebai lifted her onto the bed and pulled the quilt over her chilled body.
Mo Weiyi continued to question him, “I'm asking you, did you have a nightmare just now?”
Xiao Yebai's voice was deep, “I don't remember.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
As expected.
Just as she had suspected, his condition seemed to have worsened.
“Then, every morning when you wake up and find yourself not in the master bedroom's bed, why don't you ever tell me?”
Xiao Yebai continued in a deep voice, “Afraid it would worry you.”
“You're my husband, and if you don't share things with me, that will only make me worry more!”
“…Sorry.”
Mo Weiyi leaned her face on his shoulder, “The weekend is almost here, let me accompany you to the doctor then.”
“Okay.”
“But with this kind of situation, wouldn't it be better to consult a few different hospitals? I feel like Dr. Liu… doesn't seem very reliable.”
Xiao Yebai was quiet for a few seconds before agreeing, “Okay.”
His gentle and obedient manner made Mo Weiyi's heart melt again. She lifted her face and gently kissed his chin, “Let's go back to sleep, or else Nuonuo will wake up crying again tomorrow.”
Xiao Yebai looked down at her, his tone as subdued as ever yet filled with an unparalleled gentleness, “Okay.”
They returned to the big bed in the master bedroom.
Almost as soon as she got into bed, Mo Weiyi hugged him and fell asleep with her face resting on his chest.
She clearly didn't dwell too much on the matter.
However, the man holding her remained with his eyes open in the darkness, unable to find sleep for a long time.
**
The next morning.
After communicating with Mrs. Xu on the phone, Mo Weiyi glanced at the time and called Su Wanwan.
“Hello…”
Hearing her soft and enchanting voice, Mo Weiyi couldn't help but frown, “Are you a pig? It's already 10 o'clock and you're not up yet?”
“You're one to talk?” Su Wanwan immediately protested, “I texted you at 10 o'clock last night. Why didn't you reply? Are you the pig for sleeping so early?”
Mo Weiyi: “Cough cough.”
She had vented to her last night about a new divorce case she had taken on, in which neither party was willing to give in. What could have been a settled divorce had escalated to a court battle, with neither side heeding any persuasion.
“Sigh, ever since I found out I'm carrying twins, now I can't go out and hang out with you guys. My grandmother has brought over the housemaids to take care of me, and my mom has even moved in these past few days claiming she needs to be by my side. The most outrageous one is my husband; he's actually stopped going to work and is working from home every day! I protested to granddad, and guess what he said? He actually said the company's performance could take a back seat as the child is more important. Now, I'm being watched by four people, not allowed to play with my phone, not allowed to play video games, and not allowed to eat takeout… Life is so boring ah ah ah ah ah…”
“They all care about you. You're still in a dangerous period. It will be better after the first three months,” Mo Weiyi consoled her, “After all, what you're carrying is the Huo Family's first great-grandchild. Huo Jing is such an elderly man, it's not easy for him to have a child…”
“What do you mean 'elderly'? He's only four years older than your Xiao Yebai!”
“Five years!”
“It's plainly four years! Isn't your Xiao Yebai turning 30 in November? My husband just celebrated his 34th birthday in September!”
“Alright then.” Mo Weiyi rubbed her temples, “It's most important that the pregnant woman is happy.”
“That's more like it.” Su Wanwan sounded very pleased, “Oh right, last time I forgot to ask about Xiao Yebai's follow-up examination results.”
At the mention of this, Mo Weiyi couldn't help but sigh, “Xiaobai's condition seems to have gotten worse.”
After listening to her description, Su Wanwan was puzzled, “That shouldn't be the case, you've already moved back in with him with Nuonuo, why would he still get up in the middle of the night to go to the next room to sleep?”
“I don't know either, I plan to ask the doctor again this weekend. If it doesn't work, I want to try several different hospitals.”
“Have you seen a psychologist?” Su Wanwan suddenly asked, “My sister-in-law was cured by a psychologist before.”
“You mean Ziyang's mother?”
“Yeah, she suffered a severe brain injury back then. Not only did she lose her memory, but her IQ also regressed to that of a few years old child, which is much more serious than Xiao Yebai's condition. She got better with the help of a psychologist, so Xiao Yebai's case should be no issue.”
Mo Weiyi hastily asked, “Do you have the contact of that psychologist? Send it to me.”
“I don't know her, but I heard it from my husband. Let me ask him for you now, and I'll get back to you.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, it didn't take long for her WeChat to chime.
Huo Jingshen: [PickingNose.jpg]
Mo Weiyi: “???”
What kind of expression is that.
Huo Jingshen: [Are you sure you want a recommendation for a psychologist?]
Mo Weiyi: [Yes.]
Huo Jingshen: [It seems like your man doesn't like psychologists.]
Mo Weiyi immediately typed, [Did you discuss psychologists with him?]
Huo Jingshen sent a WeChat contact card, [Her name is Mango, and I've already said hello for you.]
Mo Weiyi: [Thank you, Chairman Huo!]
After sending these words, she exited the chat to add the contact immediately.
But when she came back, she saw Chairman Huo had sent a message, [If you really want to thank me, stop tempting my wife to run around outside!]
Mo Weiyi: “……”
Forget it.
She is a fairy, and fairies must not get angry. Considering he helped her get in touch with such an outstanding psychologist, she'll let it slide this time…
