My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 868 - : 868, the Mo Family’s Little Princess has always had a strong presence
Chapter 868: 868, the Mo Family’s Little Princess has always had a strong presence
After returning to Lishui Bay Villa, Mo Weiyi didn’t leave her house for a whole day.
It wasn’t until the following evening that she suddenly arrived at the Mo Family’s ancestral home.
“Dad, I want to travel abroad.”
Hearing these words, Mo Yaoxiong was shocked as he looked at her, “Travel abroad?”
Mo Weiyi nodded, her expression and tone both very low, “I’ve been having nightmares every night these past few days, and I haven’t been resting well. The doctor suggested I change my environment to adjust my mood.”
Looking at her swollen eyes, Mo Yaoxiong sighed deeply, “Going on a trip might be good, better than spending your days here in tears all the time. Going out might clear your mind, and it’d be good for the baby inside your belly as well.”
He asked, “Have you decided where to go yet?”
Mo Weiyi answered, “Not yet.”
“Well…” Mo Yaoxiong frowned, “how about waiting a few more days? Wait until Yebai’s injuries are better, and you can go together.”
“No,” Mo Weiyi refused, “I’ve heard that the company’s stock price has been in severe turbulence these days. By the time he recovers, he will probably need to busy himself with restructuring the company…”
“You are pregnant, and I am not comfortable with you traveling alone without someone to take care of you.”
“Rong An will protect me,” Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, “Don’t worry Dad, I’m already past the first three critical months. The doctor says the baby’s condition is very stable.”
“Alright then,” Mo Yaoxiong finally agreed, “Remember to have a good talk with Yebai, and while you’re abroad, be sure to take care of your health. Call me if anything comes up.”
Mo Weiyi nodded.
**
On her way home, halfway there, Mo Weiyi received a call from Xiao Yebai.
She stared at the continuously flashing screen of her phone, her fingers tightening again before pressing “Disconnect.”
She hadn’t visited him at the hospital since the memorial service two days ago.
It seemed that he also knew she was in a bad mood because of her grandfather’s death. Xiao Yebai hadn’t called again or forcibly demanded that she visit the hospital.
Of course, it might also be related to the company’s affairs.
Although she didn’t understand much, she had heard that several long-time shareholders were restless, causing some dispute over stock ownership and looking to nominate new board members…
Soon, her phone rang again.
It was still Xiao Yebai calling.
It must have been that Mo Yaoxiong had told him about her plan to go abroad.
Mo Weiyi immediately pressed “Power Off.”
Rong An glanced at the rear-view mirror.
In the back seat, after turning off her phone, Mo Weiyi began to quietly look out the window.
In the two days since Grandpa Mo passed away, Nancheng City seemed to have entered the rainy season, with continuous drizzle from morning till night.
It was now half-past eight in the evening, and the sky had completely darkened. Through the car window, looking at the pedestrians in the rainy night outside, an eerily bleak mood seemed to envelop her.
In the quiet car, Mo Weiyi suddenly spoke, “Rong An, have you bought the plane tickets?”
“Yes, they’re for tomorrow morning at 11 AM to Hokkaido.”
Rong An was highly efficient. Since she had voiced her thoughts, it took less than two days to prepare all their documents and relevant procedures.
In fact, she had always had a passport, even though she hadn’t traveled abroad much.
The only time she had traveled abroad was when she was fourteen years old when she secretly flew to Seattle alone to find Xiao Yebai…
After marrying Xiao Yebai, she devoted herself entirely to the marriage, not to mention traveling abroad; she rarely even traveled domestically.
Bringing her thoughts back, Mo Weiyi said, “Let’s not go home yet.”
“Princess, where do you want to go?” Rong An asked her.
Mo Weiyi looked out the car window, seemingly contemplating.
But shortly after, she said, “Just drive around slowly, I don’t want to go back just yet.”
“Okay.”
The black Audi began to drive slowly through the streets of Nancheng City until a sudden ringtone broke the silence.
Rong An was about to answer…
“Don’t pick up yet.”
“…Okay.”
The call was from Xiao Yebai.
And from the previous call he had made to Mo Weiyi, more than an hour had passed…
When the phone rang again, Rong An glanced at the caller ID and couldn’t help but remind her, “Princess, it’s Young Master Xiao calling again.”
“Don’t answer.”
Rong An replied, “Okay.”
But glancing at the time, he couldn’t help but remind her, “Princess, it’s almost time for you to go to bed.”
They had already been driving around for more than an hour.
Hearing this, Mo Weiyi finally withdrew her gaze, “Then let’s go back.”
“Okay.”

Forty minutes later, the black Audi slowly drove into Lishui Bay Villa.
After getting out of the car, Rong An held up a black umbrella and raised an arm for her to hold onto as they slowly walked towards the villa.
All the lights were on in the living room.
Indeed.
A black-clad bodyguard was standing at the door, who immediately nodded in greeting upon seeing them, “Princess, Young Master Rong An.”
Once inside the vestibule, Rong An put away the black umbrella and glanced inside.
The bodyguard immediately said, “Young Master Xiao insisted on coming over, so I had no choice but to drive him here.”
Rong An looked at Mo Weiyi.
She was slightly bowing her head, her hands on a nearby cabinet as she took off her black flat leather shoes and then slipped on some indoor slippers.
She was unusually quiet; hearing this, she didn’t show much reaction.
Then Aunt Zhou came out to greet her, “Princess, where on earth have you been so late at night?”
Mo Weiyi didn’t say a word.
Aunt Zhou continued, “Young Master Xiao has been here for over an hour already. He’s really worried about you. Both you and Young Master Rong An didn’t pick up your phones…”
“Aunt Zhou,” Mo Weiyi interrupted her softly, “It’s late. You should go back to your room and rest.”
Aunt Zhou: “…Okay.”
“Rong An,” Mo Weiyi spoke again, “You should go back and rest too, don’t forget that we still have a journey tomorrow morning.”
Rong An: “…”
He looked toward the man sitting on the couch.
Indeed.
The contours of Xiao Yebai’s face, already tight, became even colder at the mention of the word “trip.”
Then, he slowly stood up.
The tall and upright male body clad in blue and white striped patient attire, his features handsome yet slightly pale as he wore no glasses.
His entire presence was enveloped in a somber and serious aura.
Once the miscellaneous personnel in the living room had left,
“Why do you want to go abroad?”
Xiao Yebai’s low, hoarse voice sounded.
Weiyi said, “You must have called the doctor, right?”
Xiao Yebai’s thin lips twitched, and he did not deny, “If you are feeling down and want to travel, that’s fine. But it’s not safe abroad, it would be best to find a place suitable for summer retreat and prenatal care in Nancheng or nearby…”
“The plane tickets and hotel are all booked,” Weiyi interrupted him, “I also consulted the doctor, she said that the climate in Hokkaido is very good, very suitable for prenatal care, and R Country is close to Nancheng, so it’s very convenient to travel back and forth.”
Xiao Yebai’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
Upon receiving news of Weiyi’s travels abroad, he had called the obstetrician responsible for the prenatal care on his way here.
Just as Mo Yaoxiong had said, the doctor also mentioned that the situation of the fetus in her belly was stable, having passed the critical first three months; as long as it wasn’t too exhausting, traveling abroad was feasible.
She even mentioned that possibly because of the sudden death of Old Master Mo, Weiyi had taken a huge blow and was in very poor spirits, even having nightmares at night…
In such a situation, it might be better to change the environment to adjust her mood, which would be good for both her and the child.
“From Nancheng to Hokkaido, it only takes a little over an hour by plane. The public safety there is very good, and there are many Chinese. I just really want to clear my mind, and Dad has already agreed, so what are you worried about?”
Worried about what?
Xiao Yebai looked at her exquisitely cold face, his thin lips parted, “I’m worried.”
“So?” Weiyi looked at a blue-and-white porcelain vase placed on a nearby cabinet.
It seemed that she had personally bought this so-called “house-protecting” vase herself.
In fact, she didn’t understand antiques, nor did she appreciate them, but since this was her and Xiao Yebai’s marital home, she had personally arranged and selected everything, with great care…
Her voice calmly said, “Just because you are worried, I must stay in Nancheng? Must I watch the unpleasant news about the Mo Family on the television every day? Answer calls from company shareholders? And be constantly comforted by a bunch of strangers I don’t know?”
Xiao Yebai’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, and finally, he compromised, “I’ve already talked to Dad. If you really want to go, I’ll send a few people to accompany you.”
“Young Master Rong An alone is enough.”
“That’s not enough,” Xiao Yebai stared at her, “I’m worried.”
“Then do whatever you want.”
Her quick agreement caught Xiao Yebai off guard for a moment.
After she said these things, Weiyi walked away, “It’s getting late, I want to rest now, you better hurry back to the hospital.”
Without waiting for the man to respond, she slowly walked towards the stairs.
Xiao Yebai just stared at her face.
In the entire living room, except for the faint sound of her slippers, it was quiet as if the air had completely stilled.
The Weiyi in front of him, unmade-up, without jewelry, and clad in a pure black dress, her expressionless pale face gave her an entire presence of… an elusive feel.
This would have been absolutely impossible in the past.
Because the Little Princess of the Mo Family had always been very conspicuous.
Since he had entered the Mo Family at the age of fifteen, she had always been above everyone, domineering, especially around him, always chattering and prattling as though she had an endless amount to say.
When did she start to change?
The first change was due to Tian Ye’s appearance, she had a dispute with him, believing he did not have her in his heart, and then she suddenly became quiet and stopped speaking.
The second time was after the last birthday banquet, and it continued up to now.
And with the sudden death of Old Master Mo, she seemed to be completely overwhelmed by it, as if she had become a different person, devoid of her once vibrant and bright aura.
Xiao Yebai suddenly reached out his hand.
Because her arm was grabbed, Mo Weiyi was forced to stop in her tracks.
“Weiyi.”
In the quiet living room, the man called her name softly, his voice carrying a trace of enduring, somewhat familiar emotion.
He asked, “Are you still angry with me?”
As he spoke, he slightly bowed his head, his voice seeming to rise right next to her ear.
Mo Weiyi said, “No.”
“If that’s the case,” Xiao Yebai asked, “why won’t you look at me when you answer?”
“…” Mo Weiyi did not speak.
Xiao Yebai said, “Lift your face.”
“…” Mo Weiyi still did not speak.
She did not lift her face as he had told her to do.
In fact, since she had entered the room, she had not once looked him straight in the eye.
Not just tonight, but these past few days, or to be more precise, since his hospitalization due to his injury, every time Mo Weiyi saw him, she reacted like this…
Looking down, turning her face to the side, or directly looking elsewhere, just not at him.
But when he wasn’t looking at her, she would secretly glance over, as if observing something.
And every time he looked back at her, she would immediately shift her gaze away…
This really did not match the character of the young Mo Family princess.
He could understand that due to his grandfather’s death, she was emotionally downcast, or perhaps she just had no heart to deal with him at all.
But even so, it shouldn’t be like this, as if she saw right through him.
Because even when their conflicts had been most intense, she always chose to show him all her emotions directly.
He still remembered that night in Kyoto, when because he had arranged for her and Ruan Qiyang to meet, it shattered her fantasy about her biological mother, she had outright lashed out at him, even breaking down and crying.
But now…
Xiao Yebai suddenly reached out his hand.
Mo Weiyi just felt her chin tighten, and her face was already being lifted up.
As that handsome male face approached, Mo Weiyi immediately closed her eyes, “Let go of me.”
Xiao Yebai wasn’t about to do anything further, but just said, “I know, grandfather’s passing has hit you hard, but you are pregnant now…”
“Let go of me first,” Mo Weiyi interrupted him with her eyes closed.
Although she was being controlled by him at such a close distance, with their faces nearly inches apart, her whole demeanor was very reclusive, filled with a clear sense of exclusion.
Fingers tensing, Xiao Yebai narrowed his dark eyes, just about to speak again…
“I’m really a bit tired after sitting in the car for so long,” Mo Weiyi said again, “You go back to the hospital first and take care of your injuries; we can talk about the other things later.”
“What do you want to tell me?” Xiao Yebai suddenly asked.
The long, curling eyelashes trembled slightly, and Mo Weiyi was silent for several seconds until Xiao Yebai spoke again, “Speak up.”
His voice was gentle, yet it clearly carried an authoritative tone.
The two were very close, and as he spoke, his breath very directly passed on to her
Because he had been recuperating in the hospital, it still carried a faint smell of disinfectant.
Crisp.
But it was also very sobering.
Mo Weiyi, with lowered lashes, slowly explained, “These past few days, Mo Family stocks have fallen a lot, and several shareholders called me—old subordinates of Grandfather—they are not convinced by you and talked to me about issues concerning stock division…”
Xiao Yebai interrupted her, “I will handle these matters, don’t worry.”
“I believe you will handle it well,” Mo Weiyi said, “so I also told them that the shares under my name will be entirely managed by you, and I will not involve myself in the company’s affairs.”
Xiao Yebai: “…”
Such a conversation was somehow too ominous.
Regarding the company affairs, Mo Weiyi seldom interfered before, firstly because she did not understand them, and secondly because she trusted him deeply. Even though she knew he had acquired shares secretly before, it only caused a brief disturbance, and there were no subsequent actions.
And now she was discussing handing over her shares for his management?
“I only wish for the company to avoid chaos and prevent further issues since it was Grandfather’s life’s work,” Mo Weiyi took a deep breath, “so you should focus on recovering properly during this period. The company, and the Mo Family…”
She paused for a moment.
Then continued, “can’t be without you now.”
The air was filled with a death-like silence.
Until the man asked, “And what about you?”
Her lashes flickered quickly.
In a place out of the man’s sight, a faint melancholy emotion rapidly spread across Mo Weiyi’s eyes.
But she quickly said, “Our matters, we’ll discuss them after the company has stabilized.”
The man fell silent once more.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally said, “Okay, then we’ll talk when you come back.”
The current situation was indeed somewhat troubled from within and without.
Due to his severe head injuries, every hospital discharge was quite strenuous, and he could only manage the company remotely these days.
Seeing that he had finally agreed, Mo Weiyi said, “Then you should go back to the hospital first.”
Xiao Yebai nodded, “Okay.”
He loosened his fingers, “Don’t stay there too long. If you don’t come back after a month, I will personally come to find you.”
Mo Weiyi nodded too, “Okay.”
The two seemed to have reached a certain understanding.
As Xiao Yebai turned around, Mo Weiyi stood there, quietly watching him leave.
The man’s figure was tall and straight, even in hospital garb, he emanated an inherent elegance and composure.
Mo Weiyi even pondered, would he still be as elegant and composed when he discovered the whole truth?
Would he be surprised?
Delighted?
Or shocked beyond belief?
But no matter what, it probably had nothing to do with her anymore.
…
Only when the man’s figure had completely vanished and the bodyguard had left with him, leaving the villa’s gate wide open…
Did Mo Weiyi turn around, only then realizing the chill on her face was severe.
She raised her hand and slowly wiped her tears, then she went upstairs.
**
Xiao Yebai sat in the car and then took out his phone.
“Where have you been? I finally got back from a business trip and ran to the hospital to see you first thing, only to find you’ve freaking disappeared so late at night. Don’t you know you have a concussion? What if you bumped your head again and lost your memory?”
“I went home.”
“Home? I just asked the doctor, they said you can’t be discharged yet…”
“I’ll go back soon.”
“…” Zhan Yao was stunned, cursed, “Why are you causing trouble in the middle of the night, why the hell don’t you just stay at home?”
“It’s fine, hanging up now.”
“Wait, wait, wait.” Zhan Yao hurriedly stopped him, “I’ve received news that some of the old man’s old subordinates don’t agree with you, and they are gathering people to propose a new director. I know you hold fifty percent of the shares now, and they are certainly not your match, but I still think you need to appease the Little Princess very well, make sure those people don’t sway her. How are things between you two at the moment? Although she is not the Mo Family’s granddaughter, the old man still loved her dearly, almost leaving her all his property. Under such circumstances, if you don’t show some dedication, and if she really gets swayed and collaborates with outsiders against you, that would be quite troublesome.”
Xiao Yebai quietly waited for him to finish talking, “She won’t.”
“What do you mean? Have you made up already?”
“Not yet.”
“Damn, then where is your confidence coming from? After all, you are still the Mo Family’s son-in-law, and if things with the Little Princess get too ugly and word gets out, it wouldn’t sound good, and it would also affect your work in the company. You get what I’m saying?”
“She doesn’t quite understand the company’s operations,” Xiao Yebai replied, his tone flat, “Also, she asked me to help manage the shares.”
“I see,” Zhan Yao clicked his tongue, “That’s good then, it seems the Little Princess still trusts you quite a lot. It’s understandable, now that her grandfather has passed away and left her so much money, and since she’s carrying your child, you are the only support she has…”
After hanging up the phone, in the quiet of the car, the man slowly recalled the conversation they had had in the living room.
His lips suddenly curled up a bit.
Let it be then.
There will be time in the future, everything else can be discussed later.
But at that moment, Xiao Yebai couldn’t possibly have imagined that the “future” Mo Weiyi spoke of…
would actually span a whole three years!
**
The next day, during breakfast, the bodyguard arranged by Xiao Yebai came over.
Mo Weiyi didn’t say much.
After breakfast, the suitcases were brought down.
Aunt Zhou was worried and insisted on going to the airport with him.
Mo Weiyi agreed to it.
Just as they began checking in and going through security, Aunt Zhou suddenly started to tear up, “Princess, are you sure you don’t want me to go with you? Or else… once you settle down, I could buy a plane ticket and come meet you…”
“There’s no need, Aunt Zhou.” Wearing sunglasses, Mo Weiyi remained calm compared to her agitation, “I know you’ve always cared for me as if I were your own daughter, but I’m just going on a trip, I’m not leaving forever. Besides, Rong An is with me, what’s there to worry about?”
Aunt Zhou wiped her tears and could only look towards Rong An, “Young Master Rong An, I’m leaving the Princess in your care. Take good care of her when you’re abroad.”
Rong An: “…I will.”
As the announcement sounded over the PA system, Mo Weiyi went through the security check.
Everything went smoothly.
Once through security, the group entered the VIP lounge.
Mo Weiyi glanced at the few bodyguards in black sitting opposite him, took out his phone from his bag, and made a call to Su Wanwan.
**
Imperial Court Villa.
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan sat on the bedroom sofa, pouting and sulking.
It wasn’t until the door was pushed open and Huo Jingshen walked in.
Seeing the little girl looking all puffed up, he raised an eyebrow, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Su Wanwan immediately lifted her head, her tone sharp as she shouted at him, “Weiyi left for abroad today!”
The big baby went abroad?
“What did she go abroad for?”
“She said she was going to Hokkaido for a trip! But! She only told me now when she’s boarding the plane!” Su Wanwan was very angry and her eyes reddened as she spoke.
Huo Jingshen could only walk over, sat beside her, and then scooped her up to sit on his lap, “Hmm, she definitely did wrong with this.”
“Right!” Su Wanwan immediately began to complain, “I tell her everything right away every time, and she just sneaks off alone without even telling me, it’s just too much…”
“Indeed, it’s too much.” Huo Jingshen continued to scold, “Pregnant and still messing around all day! Irresponsible! Don’t you learn from her!”
“You’re not allowed to say that about her!”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Su Wanwan strived to defend her friend, “Actually, I can understand her, after all, so many things have happened in the Mo Family recently, she’d get sick if she keeps stewing at home every day, it’s good for her to go out and relax.”
Huo Jingshen was non-committal, “Alright then.”
Perhaps because Tang Yiwen has been staying at home recently, suddenly there was an additional person in the house, and an elder at that…
Downstairs, Huo Jingshen had to be somewhat more considerate.
Adding on that it rained a bit in Nancheng these past few days, weather cool, he spent basically all day accompanying the old man outside, sometimes coming home after dinner at eight or nine, making their intimate moments really limited!
So at this moment, taking advantage of the old man’s absence, just the two of them alone together, and the little girl sitting so obediently and softly in his arms…
“Wife.” Huo Jingshen lowered his head.
Before they even touched, he was pushed away by Su Wanwan, “It’s too hot!”
“Hot? What’s hot?”
Su Wanwan awkwardly, “It’s a hot day, can’t you restrain yourself a bit…” Don’t be so clingy!
“Because of your master, I’ve already been very restrained.”
Su Wanwan felt awkward, “He’s going back in a few days, just bear with it a little longer…”
“How many more days?” Huo Jingshen pressed down his temper, “Alright then, baby needs to kiss me first.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
“Good girl, listen.” Huo Jingshen pinched her waist, “Kiss your husband first.”
“Why are you so clingy!” Su Wanwan couldn’t help it anymore, “Your shoulder wound is already healed, right? You should be going to work, right? Alright, just go to the office today, I can accompany the master by myself, you don’t need to!”
Annoyed?
Huo Jingshen, who was just teasing her, heard this word, and his joyful face suddenly turned dark, “Is it that only if I’m like Xiao Yebai, you women would like it?”
Su Wanwan: “…”
She looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her, and for a moment, she almost wanted to laugh.
But…
Never mind.
Su Wanwan lifted her head and pecked his thin lips with a “mwah”.
Caught off guard, Huo Jingshen was a bit surprised.
Then Su Wanwan, looking at his handsome features, kissed him again impulsively.
Just like that, one after another, without any rhythm…
As if bewitched…
Until Huo Jingshen swiftly tightened his arms around her waist, unapologetically taking over, sealing her lips with a firm kiss.
With his superior kissing skills, kissing her like that, Su Wanwan didn’t even notice when he had picked her up, and then she ended up…sitting face-to-face on his lap.
By the time the kiss ended, she was completely dazed, panting and leaning back in his embrace, her little face flushed red.
Huo Jingshen lowered his head, his thin lips still rubbing against her forehead, “Why are you suddenly so passionate?”
Su Wanwan took a while to catch her breath before saying, “I just feel… Weiyi is so pitiful.”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
So?
Feeling pity for Weiyi?
And you initiated a kiss?
Su Wanwan suddenly nestled her face in his chest, and her arms reached back to hug his waist tightly, “Husband.”
The little girl’s voice was soft and delicate, calling him “husband” in such a tender way that it made Huo Jingshen’s heart melt completely.
He hugged her soft body back, his voice involuntarily tender, “What’s up? Hmm?”
“I want to tell you something.” Su Wanwan continued softly.
“What is it?”
Su Wanwan said, “Actually… Weiyi and Xiao Yebai have already divorced.”
“Is that so?” Huo Jingshen was genuinely unaware of this.
Because the news of Weiyi and Xiao Yebai’s divorce had not been announced publicly, and…
He was somewhat surprised.
Xiao Yebai even agreed to the divorce?
Discarding the wife?
And even the child in her womb?
“Yeah, they signed the divorce papers over a month ago, because the old man had been seriously ill and hospitalized, so they agreed not to announce it publicly. Now that the old man has passed away, I guess it will be made public soon,” Su Wanwan sighed, “I really didn’t think it would come to this… ”
“Love is a matter where one hand can’t clap alone, they both have responsibilities, you’re just an outsider, worrying is pointless.” Huo Jingshen analytically reasoned.
Su Wanwan: “…”
The emotional mood instantly disappeared.
Originally, she was just speaking out of feeling, thinking that without comparison there is no harm.
Compared to Weiyi, her current life was truly blissful.
And compared to Xiao Yebai, Huo Jingshen was simply the epitome of a good man, especially being so clingy and nice to her…
Who knew…
Talking to a brick wall!
Su Wanwan suddenly got up, “I’m not talking to you anymore! Cold-blooded animal! You have no empathy at all!”
With that, she turned around wearing her slippers and walked out, “You go to work by yourself, I am going to play with the master.”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
