Chapter 1017 - Chapter 1017 Mo Family Princesss Marriage 19

Chapter 1017: Mo Family Princess’s Marriage [19] Chapter 1017: Mo Family Princess’s Marriage [19] Xiao Yebai opened the door and upon seeing Mo Yaoxiong outside, he greeted him politely, “Dad, are you looking for me?”

Mo Yaoxiong nodded and entered the room.

Xiao Yebai’s computer was still on, displaying a variety of complex spreadsheets.

“Still researching that Dong Cheng case?” Mo Yaoxiong frowned.

Xiao Yebai had joined the investment department of Mo Group. In recent years, due to the rarity of shareholders with expertise in this area, the company had made bold strides but had also accumulated many abandoned investment cases.

Dong Cheng was one of them.

The board of directors were all pessimistic about this project, and several years had passed since, with no other companies showing interest either.

And in the investment industry, time is money…

“You’ve just joined the company. Focus on your primary duties for now. Leave this case be,” Mo Yaoxiong instructed.

Xiao Yebai nodded, “I’m just doing some research on the side.”

Mo Yaoxiong nodded.

After making inquiries about some recent work issues…

In fact, these were all questions he had asked before.

Xiao Yebai answered each one until Mo Yaoxiong got to the point, “You started working at the company as soon as you returned from M Country and have been very busy every day. I never had the chance to ask about your situation over there.”

Xiao Yebai said, “Academic records are all available on the institute’s official website.”

Mo Yaoxiong: “I mean besides academics.”

Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow.

Besides academics, that would mean…

“Your personal life, and…” Mo Yaoxiong made it clear, “Your romantic life.”

Xiao Yebai’s expression remained calm, “Everything’s pretty good.”

Mo Yaoxiong: “…”

He nodded and asked more directly, “Have you had a girlfriend in M Country during these years?”

Xiao Yebai’s tone was cool, “No.””Is it because you haven’t met someone you like, or… is there another reason?”

Xiao Yebai didn’t speak.

Mo Yaoxiong raised an eyebrow, “Don’t want to say?”

“No,” Xiao Yebai replied indifferently, “Women are too much trouble.”

And he…

Disliked seeking troubles for himself.

“Then what do you think about…” Mo Yaoxiong changed the subject, “Chu Xiuhuang as a person?”

Xiao Yebai maintained his detached tone, “I don’t know much about Mr. Chu.”

Mo Yaoxiong nodded, “I think Chu Xiuhuang is not bad, be it in terms of looks, family background, or personal abilities. Among the young elites of Nancheng, he stands out as one of the best. Although Weiyi doesn’t like him at the moment, I believe feelings can be cultivated. What do you think?”

Xiao Yebai nodded, “Yes.”

“You think so too?” Mo Yaoxiong smiled, apparently quite satisfied, “That’s good.”

Xiao Yebai squinted his eyes.

For a moment, he felt there was something off in their conversation…

But the thought passed in a flash, and Mo Yaoxiong had already turned around, “Take a good rest these two days, go to bed early tonight. I’m heading back.”

Xiao Yebai: “… Okay.”

**

The next day.

When Mo Weiyi came downstairs, she was surprised to see Mo Yaoxiong sitting at the dining table. “Dad, what brings you here?”

Mo Yaoxiong choked a little, “I’ve been away on a business trip for so long, aren’t you happy that I came over today especially to have breakfast with you?”

Mo Weiyi pouted, “What’s there to be happy about? You’re not Xiaobai.”

Mo Yaoxiong again: “…”

Maintaining a stern face, he waited for Mo Weiyi to sit down at the dining table before ordering, “Aunt Zhou, go call Yebai to come for breakfast.”

“Yes, sir.”

Mo Weiyi then opened her eyes wide in surprise, “Xiaobai is not going to the office today?”

Mo Yaoxiong huffed, “Why would I lie to you?”

Soon, the room door opened, and a refined man dressed in dark casual attire came out.

Once Xiao Yebai sat down at the dining table, Mo Yaoxiong spoke again, “Weiyi, hurry up with breakfast. Afterward, Yebai will take you to school.”

Mo Weiyi’s face practically lit up, “Okay!”

Xiao Yebai sat there, subtly knitting his brows but said nothing.

“Hurry up and eat, don’t be late,” Mo Yaoxiong tapped the table.

Mo Weiyi busily nodded and started drinking her milk.

Xiao Yebai picked up the bamboo chopsticks and began to eat quietly.

When Aunt Zhou brought the last dish to the table, Mo Yaoxiong ordered, “Bring today’s newspaper.”

“Right away, sir.”

Aunt Zhou quickly went over to fetch a thick stack of the “South City Morning News.”

Mo Yaoxiong thus ate and flipped through the newspaper.

There was a momentary silence at the dining table.

When Mo Weiyi finally finished her breakfast, she immediately got up, “Xiaobai, I’ll go upstairs to get my backpack, wait for me, okay?”

She hurried up the stairs with a rapid “clatter.”

Once her figure disappeared, Xiao Yebai put down his bowl and chopsticks, “I have an appointment with a friend at 9 AM.”

Mo Yaoxiong looked up, “The one who called you yesterday?”

Xiao Yebai didn’t hide it, “Yes.”

“It won’t be a problem,” Mo Yaoxiong’s gaze returned to the newspaper as he spoke leisurely, “After dropping off Weiyi at school, you can go to your meeting. It won’t take long.”

Xiao Yebai sat there, silent for a long while.

Until Mo Weiyi’s voice came from upstairs again, “Xiaobai, Xiaobai, I’m ready!”

She came bounding down from the second floor with her backpack.

Once at the table, she dropped her bag with a thud, caught her breath, and said, “All set, let’s go!”

Mo Yaoxiong frowned, “Why the rush?”

Mo Weiyi swallowed, “I was worried Xiaobai might leave.”

Mo Yaoxiong: “…”

Xiao Yebai stood up, “I’ll go change my clothes.”

“Great!” Mo Weiyi watched him get up and head to his room with a beaming smile.

It wasn’t until the table was abruptly smacked,

That Mo Weiyi snapped back to attention, only to see Mo Yaoxiong staring at her with a deeply furrowed brow.

“Weiyi, did you meet with Chu Xiuhuang again yesterday?”

Mo Weiyi was startled, “Dad, how did you know…”

“Slam!”

Mo Yaoxiong pushed the newspaper forward, “Didn’t you say you didn’t like him? Why are you still meeting with him privately and even got snapped by journalists published in the newspaper?”

Mo Weiyi was surprised, “What do you mean?”

“See for yourself!”

Mo Weiyi hurried forward.

The unfolded newspaper, on the entertainment section headline written in large Song typeface, read: [Young Master Chu’s Movie Theater Date with Little Princess, a Possible Good Match Between the Chu and Mo Families!]

Below were even a few photos, exactly the shots from yesterday when she was talking with Chu Xiuhuang in the movie theater.

But at that time…

Mo Weiyi had had no idea there were journalists secretly taking pictures!

What’s more, a private meeting?

She quickly explained, “Dad, the newspaper is all nonsense. Didn’t I tell you yesterday? The school gave us half a day off, and the teacher organized us to watch a movie. Who knew I’d run into Young Master Chu? They must have been secretly taking photos of him. You know what he’s like, always surrounded by so much gossip news, there must be paparazzi following him…”

Mo Yaoxiong didn’t believe it, “You said the same thing last time that you had nothing to do with him, and yet a few days later they came to our door to propose marriage. And now again you’re…”

“Everything I’m saying is true! If you don’t believe me, call the teacher. Why would I lie to you?” Mo Weiyi was on the verge of tears, “Besides, I only like Xiaobai, how could I possibly have a date with another man?”

Noise came from behind.

Mo Yaoxiong put away the newspaper directly, “Yebai still doesn’t know about this. Explain it to him yourself in the car later.”

Mo Weiyi nodded quickly.

Got it!

I need to explain first, so Xiaobai won’t misunderstand when he sees the newspaper.

…

Xiao Yebai came out of his room.

He had changed into clothes, a white shirt paired with black suit pants, holding a black suit jacket, wearing rimless glasses.

Although he didn’t have to go to work, he still dressed in office attire, scholarly and handsome.

Mo Weiyi quickly slung on her backpack, waved her small hand, and hurried to follow.

…

They reached the garage.

The driver, Uncle Liu, was already waiting by the car, “Young Master Xiao, princess.”

Xiao Yebai went over, pulled open the passenger door directly.

Mo Weiyi quickly spoke up, “Xiaobai, I want to sit in the back!”

Xiao Yebai didn’t even look at her, bending over to get in.

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Speechless!

She had thought Xiaobai was going to open the car door for her. Unexpectedly, he just wanted to sit in the front…

Uncle Liu opened the back door, “Princess, please get in.”

Mo Weiyi got into the car reluctantly.

The car slowly headed towards the Mo Family’s main gate.

After getting in the car, Xiao Yebai took out his phone to look at it.

Mo Weiyi was pondering how to talk about the newspaper, when she heard the phone ring at the front.

Xiao Yebai answered the call, “What’s up?”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Is he that busy?

Early in the morning at eight something and there’s already a call?

She could only wait until he finished the call to speak…

Meanwhile, on the phone, a young man’s teasing voice asked, “Why weren’t you answering my calls yesterday, and suddenly you say you want to meet? What happened?”

Xiao Yebai said, “In forty minutes, we’ll talk then.”

“Indeed, I have something to tell you,” the man laughed. “Have you seen today’s newspaper?”

Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow, “What about it?”

“It’s about you,” the man teased. “You’ll know once you take a look for yourself.”

Xiao Yebai responded.

Just when he was about to hang up, the man added, “It’s not the finance section, but the entertainment section. ‘South City Morning News’.”

“Got it.”

Xiao Yebai hung up, started operating his phone, and opened the official website page of the “South City Morning News.”

Mo Weiyi, having finally waited for him to finish his work call, spoke up urgently, “Xiaobai, I need to tell you something.”

Xiao Yebai, looking down at his phone, didn’t respond.

Mo Weiyi frowned, “Then… I’ll wait until you’re not busy.”

She sat there obediently, waiting and waiting, eyes fixed on the front.

Finally, Xiao Yebai put down his phone, lifted his head and looked out the side window.

Mo Weiyi hurried to speak, “Xiaobai, about yesterday in the movie theater with Chu Xiuhuang…”

“I’m not interested in your affairs,” Xiao Yebai interrupted coldly.

Mo Weiyi hadn’t expected that merely mentioning Chu Xiuhuang would elicit such a drastic reaction from Xiao Yebai…

Was he being overly jealous?

“Xiaobai…” Mo Weiyi softened her voice, “I just wanted to tell you, our class organized a trip to the movies yesterday, and I happened to run into Chu Xiuhuang there, but I ignored him completely. We have nothing going on. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Finally, she had made it clear!

Mo Weiyi sighed in relief.

But…

Why isn’t Xiaobai speaking?

She leaned forward to get a closer look at his profile, trying to discern his expression…

But Xiao Yebai was like a statue without emotion, maintaining his original posture, looking outside the window until the car arrived at the school gate.

Uncle Liu: “Princess, we’ve arrived at the school.”

Mo Weiyi: “… Oh.”

Before getting out of the car, she cast one more glance at Xiao Yebai.

He had already shifted his gaze back to his phone; the rimless glasses made him appear particularly aloof and refined under his short black hair.

Mo Weiyi felt relieved.

She had made everything clear just now; he must have heard it, so this calm demeanor was just him pretending, right?

Such a tsundere man…

With a stealthy chuckle, she pushed open the car door, “Xiaobai, I’m off to class, see you tonight!”
