Chapter 968 - Chapter 968 Mo Bai Fanwai 58 Xiaobai is a clingy spirit One
Chapter 968: Mo Bai Fanwai 58, Xiaobai is a clingy spirit! [One more] Chapter 968: Mo Bai Fanwai 58, Xiaobai is a clingy spirit! [One more] “What’s wrong?” Xiao Yebai stared at her flushed face, “Didn’t you say you were going to be late for work?”
Mo Weiyi hummed, “My legs are weak…”
Xiao Yebai slowly curved his handsome lips upwards, “Then I’ll carry you up.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Seeing his obviously pleased expression and feeling utterly exasperated, she stretched out her hand and pinched his face hard.
“Why are you pinching me?” The man didn’t move away, pressing against her body, and when he spoke, his warm breath sprayed on her face.
Mo Weiyi kept humming, “Why not pinch you? You pinched me yesterday!”
Hearing this, Xiao Yebai’s gaze instantly moved downward, landing on her neck.
During the wild moments in the old house’s bedroom yesterday afternoon, he had left many marks on her.
She had been somewhat out of it from drinking, and he had completely lost control of emotions that had not been vented for three years…
Luckily, the weather had cooled down, and today, Mo Weiyi had specifically worn a small scarf around her neck, which, if not carefully inspected, did not reveal anything.
A slender finger with prominent knuckles suddenly reached out.
Mo Weiyi just felt a coolness around her neck.
Xiao Yebai pulled at the little scarf, his dark eyes on the reddish-purple brand on her fair neck, “This is serious.”
“What else did you expect?” Mo Weiyi quickly removed his hand.
“It’s been so long, why hasn’t it faded yet? Should we go to the hospital to have it checked out?”
After he had taken her three times that previous afternoon, Xiao Yebai hadn’t touched her again when they got home last night because she was too tired.
He hadn’t expected the situation to be so serious.
Mo Weiyi could hardly resist rolling her eyes, “Go to the hospital? So everyone knows how amazing you are?”
“…Then let’s apply some ointment.”
Mo Weiyi pushed him directly, “Enough already, hurry up and move, I need to get off.”
Xiao Yebai: “…”
**
After getting off, Mo Weiyi immediately took out a small mirror to check her appearance.
Not reassured, she also reapplied her lipstick, retied the scarf, and combed through her hair…
Only then did she confidently walk toward the elevator.
…
Once inside the elevator, Mo Weiyi pressed the button for the 10th floor and casually asked him, “Did you set a time with Master?”
“Hmm.” Xiao Yebai nodded, stretching out his finger.
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Glancing at the surveillance camera above, she asked, “What are you doing?”
“Holding your hand,” Xiao Yebai answered without blushing or batting an eye.
Mo Weiyi disdainfully said, “Your hand is too cold…”
Cold and hard, like a cold-blooded animal, and so forceful that she couldn’t let go…
“Hmm.” Xiao Yebai’s expression was unchanged, “Your hand is very warm, just right.”
Her hand was small, soft, and warm, very comfortable to hold in the slightly chilly weather.
With that thought, Xiao Yebai opened his fingers, wove them through her delicate ones, and locked their hands together, palm to palm.
Mo Weiyi felt warmth in her palm and couldn’t help but let out a soft cough.
There were only the two of them in the elevator.
Sealed, quiet, and seemingly flowing with a faint air of flirtation.
Honestly, this feeling was a bit like when they were first struck by love.
Only now the roles had switched.
In the past, it was her, brazenly clinging onto Xiao Yebai, trying every possible way to get close to him.
Now, it was entirely the opposite. Xiao Yebai seemed like a different person; whenever they were alone, he would try to initiate all sorts of physical contact with her…
So the him of now must be like the her back then, loving her desperately, right?
Suddenly, the elevator stopped.
Mo Weiyi’s heart skipped, afraid that the person coming in might be a colleague she knew, and hurriedly pulled her hand back with force.
Xiao Yebai: “…”
The elevator doors opened, and sure enough, someone they knew came in.
“Yo, Attorney Mo.”
Mo Weiyi smiled and nodded, “Director Zhang.”
It was the HR from the law firm, nearly forty years old, with an enthusiastic and outgoing personality.
On her first day of work, it had been Director Zhang who had handled her onboarding process.
Director Zhang pressed the elevator button and after glancing at the man next to her, she asked with a smile, “Is Attorney Mo going to lunch alone?”
She didn’t recognize Xiao Yebai, and since she hadn’t seen the two of them talking when she came in, she assumed they were all strangers.
Mo Weiyi blinked her eyes.
For some reason, before she even spoke, she suddenly felt as if a low pressure was brewing beside her…
All she could say was, “I just finished dinner with my husband.”
At these words, Xiao Yebai quickly curled up the corners of his mouth.
Director Zhang, however, was surprised, “Lawyer Mo is married?”
When she joined the company, she remembered that Mo Weiyi’s marital status on the form seemed to be “divorced,” and she had wondered how such a beautiful and young person could be divorced.
So, is she remarried now?
Mo Weiyi nodded.
“What does your husband do?” Since there were no strangers in the elevator, Director Zhang was really curious.
She had no idea that the handsome man in the elevator was Mo Weiyi’s husband.
Mo Weiyi, holding back a laugh, said, “He works in investment.”
“Oh, in investment, huh, that’s a job with a lot of pressure.” Director Zhang began to chat, “My younger brother works in investment as well, and he’s with a big 996 company. His salary is pretty high, but he works night after night without end. He’s only young but has already developed all kinds of health issues, even started balding before forty. You have to pay close attention to that.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Xiao Yebai also: “…”
“By the way, how old is your husband this year?” Director Zhang asked again.
Mo Weiyi cleared her throat, “He’s…”
“I’m not even thirty yet,” Xiao Yebai’s deep and magnetic voice suddenly interrupted.
Mo Weiyi’s eyes widened.
Director Zhang also: “…”
The elevator was filled with a strange awkwardness.
With a “ding,” the elevator reached the seventh floor.
Director Zhang hurriedly said with a smile, “Look at me, my eyesight… Well, anyway… Lawyer Mo, I need to go find the finance department…”
“Alright, goodbye Director Zhang.” Mo Weiyi waved her little hand, her smile serene.
Waiting for the elevator door to close.
“Pfft!” Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Xiao Yebai: “…”
Today she was dressed in a somewhat formal suit, with a bright yellow silk scarf tied around her neck. With each frown and smile, her eyes sparkled, her red lips alluring.
He looked down at her, “Is it that funny?”
Mo Weiyi nodded, unable to contain her amusement, “Shameless, claiming to be under thirty when you’re clearly thirty already.”
Xiao Yebai couldn’t help but draw closer, his high nose nearly touching her cheek, “I’ll turn thirty only after my birthday.”
“What difference does that make? Anyway, you’re still quite old,” she retorted.
At those words, Xiao Yebai’s brow twitched unexpectedly.
Just as he was about to respond, the elevator stopped again.
Mo Weiyi hastily moved to the side.
The elevator doors opened, and a young man in a sharp suit walked in.
He seemed to be from a different floor and didn’t recognize them.
But seeing the exceptionally attractive man and woman in the elevator, he couldn’t help but take another look before turning to face front and pressing the elevator button.
The elevator returned to silence.
Mo Weiyi looked up, quietly watching the numbers change slowly on the elevator display.
A few seconds later, her finger was suddenly grasped by a familiar cool touch.
Xiao Yebai was expressionless, but his hand almost forcefully snatched hers, then held it tight.
Mo Weiyi, keeping the same posture, silently chanted three words in her heart: Clingy spirit!
…
The young man got off on the ninth floor.
When the elevator reached the tenth floor.
The doors opened, and several men in sharp suits were standing at the entrance.
After officially taking over as chairman of Mo Group three years ago, Xiao Yebai had made significant cuts and restructured the entire group from top to bottom.
Additionally, with the rapid development of Mo Group over the past three years, both high-level executives and basic staff had gone through several changes, so the people who came today did not recognize Mo Weiyi.
“Chairman.” The men greeted him respectfully, “Lawyer Lu said the conference room is ready, we can go in now.”
“Alright,” Xiao Yebai nodded.
As the men were about to depart, they saw their chairman unexpectedly turn to the side, lower his head towards the woman, and speak with a gentle tone, “I’m going to start the meeting.”
Mo Weiyi’s eyes flickered slightly.
Under all eyes, all she could do was nod, “Okay.”
Xiao Yebai slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, then turned and led the way out.
The few people snapped out of it and hurried to follow.
However, their expressions were clearly nothing like the respectful and deferential way they had been before.
**
Mo Weiyi entered the office and sat down at her own seat.
It was already past the start of work, and the entire office area was quiet.
Xia Chuyun, seated nearby, whispered, “It seems like the law firm is hosting some important clients today. When I came in just now, I saw quite a few people waiting in the hallway. Old Wang also told us to tidy up our workstations.”
Mo Weiyi nodded.
As she had only been working for a week, her workstation was still clean and tidy, without many files.
Soon, the door of the office at the end of the hallway opened, and Lu Chenyu, impeccably dressed in a suit, walked out, followed by Assistant Old Wang and several high-ranking partners of the law firm.
Each was properly dressed, exuding authority with every step.
As the group passed through the hallway and then left, nearby lawyers immediately started to gossip.
“Did you see that? That was Zeng Dazhuang!”
“And there was Liu Dashen!”
“Both of those guys are like bigshots, rarely seen by most.”
“I’ve been working here for three years, and today is the first time I’ve seen them!”
“I hear it’s because a big client is planning to invest in our law firm, which is why all these big guns showed up.”
“Looks like Lawyer Lu has latched onto some powerful coattails, huh?”
“Definitely, our benefits are bound to improve a lot!”
“…”
Mo Weiyi was taken aback as she listened.
Suddenly.
Old Wang returned from the direction of the hallway.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Old Wang walked straight up to Mo Weiyi’s desk, “Lawyer Mo, get ready, you’ll join the meeting immediately.”
Mo Weiyi got to her feet hurriedly, “Okay.”
Old Wang glanced at her and said in a low voice, “Relax, you know everyone there.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
**
10 minutes later, Mo Weiyi, carrying her laptop, followed Old Wang into the conference room.
The atmosphere inside was solemn and quiet.
The front screen was displaying documents, and at the very front of the conference table, Xiao Yebai and Lu Chenyu were seated on either side of the table head, flanked by their respective delegates and participants.
As Mo Weiyi walked in, everyone looked up at her.
With various expressions.
Especially those high-ranking executives from the Mo Group who were just in the hallway…
Mo Weiyi composed herself quietly and sat down in her assigned place.
“This is Lawyer Mo Weiyi, who is responsible for handling this partnership,” introduced Lu Chenyu briefly, “Old Wang, let’s get started.”
“Okay,” Old Wang walked over and began to lead the meeting process.
…
The negotiation for the collaboration proceeded very smoothly.
Becoming the point person all of a sudden, Mo Weiyi knew this was Xiao Yebai’s idea. But since she was already in the law firm, she had no choice but to accept the responsibility with a stiff upper lip.
About forty minutes went by, and the meeting concluded on friendly terms.
“Director Xiao, a pleasure doing business,” Lu Chenyu stood up, extending his hand.
Xiao Yebai shook his hand, “The pleasure is all mine.”
“A pleasure doing business,” Lu Chenyu said with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.
Mo Weiyi just breathed a sigh of relief.
“Lawyer Mo, please escort Chairman Xiao out.”
The room fell silent.
Mo Weiyi’s mouth twitched slightly as she could do nothing but stand up, “Okay.”
**
“This way, please, everyone.”
Mo Weiyi, in her high heels, led the way with a series of gestures.
They finally entered the elevator.
“Thank you for your trouble, Lawyer Mo,” Xiao Yebai said, looking down at her with dark eyes that seemed like they could pull her in.
“…You’re welcome,” Mo Weiyi cleared her throat, averted her gaze, but then realized…
“Aren’t you coming in?”
The several executives, in crisp suits, each holding a briefcase, stood outside the elevator as if they were being punished.
Xiao Yebai looked up.
With just a glance…
“No, no, we’ll wait for the next one.” The people hurriedly waved their hands in rejection and thoughtfully pressed the elevator button.
Once the elevator doors closed, they eagerly started gossiping.
“Does the chairman know this lawyer from Mo Group?”
“Definitely knows, and their relationship might even be deep!”
“No wonder he’s collaborating with this law firm! That explains it!”
“Didn’t the chairman already have a girlfriend? What’s her name… Fang Kaiying, right?”
“I still root for the lawyer from Mo Group! Super pretty, and isn’t a lawyer better than a female star?”
“How gentle the chairman was just now, and he even smiled…”
“Exactly! I’ve been with Mo Family for two years and it’s the first time I’ve seen the chairman smile!”
“…”
**
Inside the elevator, Mo Weiyi turned to look at the man, “Was it you who told Master to let me take on this joint case?”
Xiao Yebai denied, “He proposed it on his own initiative.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Lu Chenyu knew about their relationship, so his suggestion naturally made sense, but she still didn’t believe he hadn’t done anything.
“Couldn’t you have asked him to change the lawyer?”
“Why would we change?” Xiao Yebai countered.
Mo Weiyi explained, “After all, our relationship is special. What do you think Master will think of me?”
“Your Master will think that you brought him a big deal and earned a significant amount of investment fees.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Shameless!
“Why do you care so much about his opinion?” Xiao Yebai suddenly asked.
“Because he’s my master,” Mo Weiyi replied quickly.
Xiao Yebai raised his eyebrows slightly, “He has been quite helpful to you over these years.”
“Of course.” Mo Weiyi was indeed grateful to Lu Chenyu. Though he was exceedingly picky and critical when she was interning, he ended up helping her a lot afterwards.
“I owe a lot to Master. Without his help back then… I don’t even know what I’d be like now.”
B2 floor arrived quickly.
Mo Weiyi stepped out of the elevator, “Okay, this is as far as you go.”
Xiao Yebai asked, “You’re not going to walk me to my car?”
Mo Weiyi was speechless, “It’s so close, can’t you just walk there yourself?”
Seeing him standing still, unwilling to move…
Mo Weiyi relented, “Master asked me to see you off, this far should be enough, right? I have to go back and write the letter of intent for the cooperation we just discussed.”
Repeatedly calling him “Master”…
Xiao Yebai looked down at her delicate and pretty face, his complexion slowly becoming more stern, “Do you always listen to your Master like this?”
“What’s wrong?” Mo Weiyi finally picked up on something amiss.
The expression on Xiao Yebai’s face continued to tense.
Then, a phone rang abruptly.
Mo Weiyi picked up her phone and hastily answered the call, “Master.”
“I forgot to tell you, you need to go conduct a site investigation of Mo Group this afternoon.”
Mo Weiyi was stunned, “Master, there’s no need for a site investigation, is there?”
They had collaborated before without it, and besides, if there was anything unclear, she could just ask Xiao Yebai later…
“You don’t need to come back this afternoon.” After saying that, the call was disconnected.
Mo Weiyi: “…”
She raised her head, “Did you tell Master to have me inspect your company?”
Xiao Yebai chuckled lowly, “You were present the whole meeting, did you hear me say anything?”
Mo Weiyi again: “…”
He hadn’t said anything, but…
“Perhaps your Master really wants to please me.” Xiao Yebai spoke, then took her small hand, “Come to the company with me, and do a thorough inspection.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Spoken as if it were true.
