My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day
Chapter 995 - Chapter 995 Ink White Extra Story 85 Grand Finale 4

Chapter 995: Ink White Extra Story 85, Grand Finale [4] Chapter 995: Ink White Extra Story 85, Grand Finale [4] Since the old master of the Mo Family had passed away, Mo Yaoxiong had quickly gone to the temple to practice asceticism, and Xiao Yebai never lived here, so most of the mansion’s servants and bodyguards were dismissed, and the estate suddenly became much bleaker.

As for that attic from before, it had been demolished two years ago…

Now, Mo Weiyi had finally brought her family back to live there, and Uncle Shi had turned the spot where the attic had been into an orchard and vegetable garden, even hiring a specialist to ensure that there were fresh fruits and vegetables available all year round.

Because little Nuonuo was particularly fond of small animals, in addition to two Labradors, Uncle Shi added many more cats and dogs to the garden… This caused the old mansion to be particularly lively every day; it was not an exaggeration to say it was a flurry of activity.

At this moment, hearing the voices outside, the children’s shouts, occasionally accompanied by the barking of dogs…

Mo Weiyi smiled, stood up, and carried her laptop into the study.

**

Perhaps because her first case had been a divorce lawsuit, Lu Chenyu quickly assigned her another divorce case afterward.

Then it seemed that Mo Weiyi had become the lawyer at Yurui Law Firm specifically dealing with divorce cases.

Initially, Yurui Law Firm had few female lawyers, and now they had one specializing in divorce cases. Her first opposing counsel was He Dazhuang, a famous divorce lawyer from Nancheng…

Anyway, with such publicity, during this month, the door of Yurui Law Firm was always bustling as Mo Weiyi had to meet several clients wanting a divorce each day.

She even wondered whether Lu Chenyu was intentionally training her to specialize in divorce cases, possibly to compete with his own senior?

After all, He Bowen’s law office specialized in divorce cases and had gained quite a reputation in Nancheng over the years, while Yurui focused more on other types of cases.

But to tell the truth, “It’s difficult for an upright official to resolve domestic disputes.”

If possible, Mo Weiyi would prefer to handle a variety of other cases; dealing with too many divorce cases easily cast a shadow over her view of marriage.

This month, she had to listen every day to clients complaining and blaming each other; one time during mediation, the two parties almost came to blows…

Suddenly, her cell phone rang.

Mo Weiyi answered the call, “Ms. Xu…”

“What should I do, Lawyer Mo?” the client cried over the phone, “I just went to pick up my child from school, but the teacher told me that Tangtang had been taken away by his father! I called him, but he didn’t answer; I went to his place, but nobody showed up for a long time! I’m really going crazy! Why is he doing this to me? Tangtang has been raised solely by me since birth; as a father, he has never cared, and now that we are divorcing, he wants to fight for custody, on what grounds? Lawyer Mo, you must help me; I must obtain custody of my child. I can’t be without Tangtang…”

Unlike most of her clients, who were housewives, this time Ms. Xu was a strong woman working as an executive in an advertising company in Nancheng. She woke up early every day to make breakfast for the family, took the child to school, then went to work all day, and picked up the child from school in the evening.

She had a good image, managing her household impeccably and performing excellently at work; yet, a few days ago, she suddenly discovered chat records of her husband’s affair with another woman on his phone…

Mo Weiyi soothed, “First, don’t panic. Mr. Zhou is the biological father of the child, and he surely won’t harm him. Moreover, since you two are not yet divorced, it’s normal for a father to pick up his child…”

“He’s just trying to curry favor with Tangtang! Recently, he’s been buying all sorts of nice things for Tangtang every day with that woman, even coaxing Tangtang to want to live with them! They are doing it on purpose! Tangtang isn’t even seven years old yet, and a child can be easily deceived… Lawyer Mo, what should I do now; you must help me…”

Mo Weiyi, holding her forehead, responded, “Ms. Xu, rest assured, I am your attorney, and I will definitely help you. Please stop crying and listen to me, okay?”

“…”

Two knocks suddenly came on the door of the study.

Mo Weiyi continued speaking to the other end, “At this stage, you must stay calm. I know you’re angry, but when you see the child later, you mustn’t lose your temper, especially not in front of your husband and his lover…”

The door opened.

Xiao Yebai stood at the doorway, dressed in a black suit with his jacket unbuttoned and two buttons of his white shirt undone, his handsome countenance expressionless as he gazed at the passionately speaking woman behind the desk.

It seemed that she heard a sound, Mo Weiyi quickly looked up at him, didn’t show much reaction, then withdrew her gaze and continued to persuasively talk towards her computer.

After finally appeasing Mrs. Xu, she put down her phone, then shook her head and continued to furiously type on the keyboard.

Xiao Yebai: “…”

A second later, he directly got up and walked over to her.

Arriving behind her, he glanced at the densely packed Word document on the screen and said in a low voice, “Weiyi, I’m back.”

“I know,” Mo Weiyi’s voice was very light, her slender and agile fingers did not stop moving.

So Xiao Yebai bent down, hugged her from behind the chair back, kissed her cheek, didn’t move away, and his hands naturally slid down, encircling her soft, slender waist.

It was early November in Nancheng and already very cold, but because they were at home, the heating was on. Mo Weiyi was only wearing a thin pink cardigan, which was very loose. Her fluffy black curly hair was also tied up in a bun, exposing her pale and delicate neck.

At this moment, the man’s warm breath came close, almost touching her ear, his voice so low it was intoxicating, “It’s been a month, aren’t you going to talk to me?”

“…” Mo Weiyi already smelled a strong scent of cigarettes, mixed with a faint aroma of alcohol…

Xiao Yebai had left at noon today, saying he had an important social engagement to attend.

It was apparently important enough for drinking and smoking…

Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, unable to help herself, she said, “Don’t touch me, you reek of smell…”

“I don’t stink.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Initially, she really didn’t want to deal with him, especially since she hadn’t finished with the litigation materials.

Until his lips landed again on her neck…

“Can you not disturb me here at work?” Mo Weiyi bowed her head, reaching out to pull on the arms around her waist, “Let go of me!”

Instead of letting go, Xiao Yebai tightened his hold even more, “What work? You’re this busy even on the weekend?”

“You’re also busy going off to socialize!” she blurted out.

A low laugh quickly sounded at her neck, bringing with it waves of ticklishness.

His voice was low, his lips close to her delicate white skin, kissing and ambiguously saying, “If you had told me not to go, I definitely wouldn’t have gone.”

Mo Weiyi couldn’t be bothered with him, “Can you not lean so close to me…”

“I just drank, and I feel a bit dizzy.”

“If you’re dizzy, go sleep upstairs!” Mo Weiyi immediately slapped his hand.

Apparently, Xiao Yebai was even more encouraged, his lips moving downwards, pulling aside the collar of her cardigan, his firm teeth directly biting onto the white bra strap underneath.

“Can you not mess around?” Mo Weiyi swore her tone was very cold, even… somewhat angry.

But her voice was soft and delicate, somehow, when she said this, it sounded almost like she was cooing…

Sure enough, Xiao Yebai let out a low chuckle again, “Beg me.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

“I beg your pardon!” she exclaimed.

She felt annoyed and embarrassed, trying hard to pull his arms away but to no avail.

Suddenly, a chill ran down her shoulders, then was replaced by the man’s warm, thin lips…

In fact, during this period, Mo Weiyi really had been deliberately ignoring him.

Moreover, since the incident with Fang Kaiying a month ago, the two of them hadn’t been intimate.

Firstly, they were both busy with work, and secondly, there was a toddler over two years old involved. Xiao Yebai seemed to have noticed her mood and had been pretty well-behaved during this period.

But now, perhaps because of the alcohol, emboldened by the saying “Liquor emboldens the spirit,” he made his move right there in the study…

When his hand made its way under the hem of her robe, starting to roam freely…

Mo Weiyi clenched her teeth and fiercely pinched the flesh on his arm with her fingernails.

“Hiss–”

The man let out a low hiss of pain, “Are you trying to murder your own husband?”

Mo Weiyi kept her pretty little face cold, “I already told you I’m working!”

“But I miss you,” Xiao Yebai said, blowing hot air seductively into her now-flushed ear.

He really felt like he had been put in the cold palace during these days, though he could lie in the same bed with her every night, Mo Weiyi was truly indifferent to him…

If he didn’t initiate conversation, she would never speak to him voluntarily.

Not to mention at night – by 10 p.m., she would take Little Nuonuo to bed, who had once again claimed the middle of the big bed, so although he lay in the same bed as her, there was hardly any chance for intimacy.

Now, taking advantage of his inebriation, he finally got to touch her soft body up close, and Xiao Yebai was somewhat excited, “Weiyi…”

He said, “I love you.”

His voice was very gentle, like a soft murmur, and while keeping her whole body controlled in his arms, Mo Weiyi felt the spacious office chair almost wasn’t enough to sit in…

Before she knew it, she found herself sitting on his lap, her ears burning hot, and soon that heat slid down from her ears, sweeping across her neck, shoulders, collarbone…

Finally, Mo Weiyi abruptly grabbed his hand, “I have my first court appearance tomorrow!”

Her robe had already been pulled down quite a bit, revealing her pale, delicate beautiful shoulders, and Xiao Yebai’s entire face was buried in them. Hearing her words, he stopped moving.

Mo Weiyi said nothing, just shifted her shoulders a bit.

When the man finally moved his face away, she stood up, reached up to adjust her collar, “This case is very important to me. It’s my first time in court and I don’t want to lose, so I must finish these papers right away. Please leave.”

“…”

The study was filled with enduring silence.

Until Xiao Yebai got up from his seat.

Due to the previous struggle, his white shirt under the coat was a bit wrinkled, and his brows were furrowed into a “Chuan” character.

Mo Weiyi quickly sat back down, her hands on the keyboard.

The man said nothing, but he did not leave either. The smell of smoke and alcohol still lingered around, and she seemed to still feel the warm, strong touch on her body…

Until…

“Do you not love me anymore?”

Mo Weiyi’s fingers paused.

She sighed deeply, “I…”

“I’m going on a business trip tomorrow morning,” Xiao Yebai suddenly interrupted her, “to Haicheng, for a week.”

To Haicheng on a business trip?

And for a week?

The next second.

“Will you come with me on the trip, please?”

Mo Weiyi refused quickly, “I just told you I have a court appearance tomorrow, I’m not free.”

“If you’re worried about Nuonuo, we can take Nuonuo with us,” Xiao Yebai seemed to be talking to himself, much like he had already made arrangements, “The weather in Haicheng is warm now, suitable for taking children there, and we could take him to visit Disney and many amusement parks…”

“I said I’m not free!” Mo Weiyi finally couldn’t help interrupting him.

Xiao Yebai looked at her, “I’ll talk to Lu Chenyu, ask him to change lawyers for you, give you a week off.”

“…” Mo Weiyi closed her eyes.

She was enduring.

Seeing Xiao Yebai actually pull out his phone, dial a number, and start speaking on the other end, “Lawyer Lu…”

Mo Weiyi quickly stood up, reached out her hand, snatched his phone away, and then pressed “end call.”

Looking up again, Mo Weiyi’s delicate features bore a clear coldness, “Xiao Yebai, do you know why I’ve been ignoring you this month?”

Xiao Yebai said, “You’re angry with me.”

“So, why can’t you change your stubborn bad habits? You want me to accompany you on a business trip, and I just have to, right? Don’t I have my own life? Don’t I have work to do? Your business trip needs my company; does that mean my work is unimportant in comparison with yours? Why are you always so selfish, handling everything as you wish, making plans as you want, always finalizing or completing them before telling me, never consulting me about my opinion! I’m really fed up with you!”

Perhaps because of the week-long cold war, and seeing her explode so rarely, Xiao Yebai watched her quietly, just waiting for her to finish speaking…

In his dark eyes, subtle emotions flickered.

But soon, the man’s voice continued calmly, “I remember when we first got married, every time I went on a business trip, you always clung to me wanting to come along, but I never agreed, so this time I wanted to take you with me.”

“The past is the past, and now is now,” Mo Weiyi felt it was simply impossible to communicate with him, “Xiao Yebai, I’m different now. I’m not that naive girl who only had eyes for you. I have my own work now, I’m busy, and I really don’t have the time to accompany you on any trip! Are you happy with this answer? I’m really tired, I don’t want to talk right now, I have to work, please leave!”

After saying all this, she sat back down and continued working.

The sound of rapid typing soon filled the study again.

Xiao Yebai stood there, his deep eyes turbulent with various emotions, morphing ceaselessly. Finally, he spoke softly, “You’re busy, I’ll go pack.”

After saying this, he slowly walked away.

Mo Weiyi kept her head down, her little face expressionless, until the sound of the door closing reached her ears, she stopped her actions and then looked up at the closed door.

She stared at it for several seconds.

Then, as if she realized something, she shook her head and told herself, “If I don’t teach him a lesson, he will never realize what his actual problems are!”

**

Xiao Yebai went to the bedroom on the second floor, closed the door, and slowly began unbuttoning his suit jacket with his slender fingers.

Suddenly, his phone rang. The man took out his phone from the pocket of his suit jacket.

“Chairman.”

Over the phone, Zhong Kai spoke with utmost respect, “Tomorrow morning, your and the princess’s tickets to fly to Haicheng are all booked, the hotel rooms there have also been arranged, and I have communicated your requirements to the hotel management. They will arrange everything as per your instructions. Also, the gown you ordered for the princess is ready; it will be delivered to the room the evening before your birthday…”

Xiao Yebai said nothing, put down the phone, and disconnected the call.

…

“Dudu dudu–”

On the other end, Zhong Kai thought it was a bad signal and hurriedly redialed.

However.

[I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off.]

Zhong Kai: “…”

Had he arranged something poorly?

What’s going on…

**

The next morning.

At the dining table, Mo Yaoxiong was feeding his grandson breakfast while occasionally glancing at the young couple.

It was obvious that the two were at odds again.

From the moment they sat down, other than Nuonuo’s babbling, Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai hadn’t spoken a single word. It really was…

Until Xiao Yebai put down his cutlery, “I’ll be on a business trip for a few days and won’t be home.”

“Where to?”

The question came from Mo Yaoxiong.

Mo Weiyi, slowly drinking her soy milk, showed little reaction.

Xiao Yebai looked at her and said in a subdued voice, “There has been a problem with the branch in Haicheng recently, and I need to go there.”

Haicheng was one of Mo Group’s most crucial branches, but indeed, it was quite a distance from Nancheng…

Mo Yaoxiong asked, “How long will you be gone?”

“A week.”

Not so much that Xiao Yebai was responding to Mo Yaoxiong as he was to Mo Weiyi, because he was looking at Mo Weiyi as he answered.

“The climate there is still okay, but the temperature varies a lot between morning and evening. Bring a few extra jackets, and take good care of yourself while you’re out,” Mo Yaoxiong said, glancing at the clock, “It’s not even eight yet, Weiyi, why don’t you drive Yebai to the airport?”

Before he could finish, a ringtone sounded.

The previously aloof woman drinking soy milk immediately put down her utensils and picked up her phone, her face breaking into a smile, “Ms. Xu, what can I do for you?”

It was clearly a call from a client.

“Ms. Xu, don’t cry, take it slowly…”

…”

Whatever was said on the other end of the phone made Mo Weiyi frown and say immediately, “I’m heading over now, just tell me the name and address of the hospital.”

Upon hearing this, everyone at the dining table, except for the barely three-year-old Nuonuo, frowned.

Especially Xiao Yebai, whose thin lips were pressed into a straight line, casting a somewhat oppressive atmosphere over the entire dining room.

Mo Weiyi noted down the address, “Alright, I know. Don’t be afraid, I’ll be there shortly.”

She hung up the phone, and immediately grabbed a paper towel, dabbing as she said, “I need to go to the hospital now.”

“What happened?” Xiao Yebai asked.

“My client was beaten by her husband,” Mo Weiyi stated simply, then turned and left the dining room.

Mo Yaoxiong, feeling helpless, still wanted to suggest she take Yebai to the airport…

**

Mo Weiyi quickly changed her clothes and went downstairs.

Mo Yaoxiong, worried, said, “Let Rong An go with you.”

Mo Weiyi did not refuse, “Okay.”

After hearing Ms. Xu crying over the phone, it seemed the injury was quite serious. Her husband being burly and tough, indeed a man was needed at the scene.

Mo Yaoxiong immediately called Rong An.

After Mo Weiyi left, he put down his phone, looking at Xiao Yebai’s gloomy expression and couldn’t help advising, “With Rong An there, you can rest easy…”

Xiao Yebai did not speak, simply turned and went upstairs.

Mo Yaoxiong: “…”

Soon after, Xiao Yebai came down again carrying his suitcase.

Mo Yaoxiong hurriedly called out, “Nuonuo, come here and say goodbye to Daddy.”

The little guy, having just eaten, was now in the spacious living room riding his beloved rocking horse. Hearing this, he nonchalantly lifted his small hand and waved, “Daddy bye!”

Xiao Yebai walked over and gently touched his son’s soft black hair.

Though still silent, his expression was tender, and he even curled the corner of his mouth into a slight smile.

Not until the man carrying the suitcase left did the large living room suddenly become quiet.

And it seemed Nuonuo finally realized something was amiss.

Before, Dad used to head straight to work, but today he took such a big suitcase, and he didn’t even hug him…

Little Baozi looked perplexed, first glancing at the door and then at Grandpa. He extended his little finger and pointed, “Daddy… left, where’s Mommy?”

Mo Yaoxiong said, “Dad and Mom both went to work; they’ll be back in the evening.”

“…” Little Nuonuo seemed to half understand.

Is that so?

**

So when Mo Weiyi came home in the evening,

Little Nuonuo, in a babyish voice, asked, “Mommy, where’s Daddy?”

Mo Weiyi raised an eyebrow, “Dad went on a business trip.”

“On a trip?”

“That’s right.”

Little Nuonuo didn’t understand, “Will Daddy come back?”

“He’ll be back in a few days,” Mo Weiyi finished speaking. “Dad, come and play with Nuonuo for a bit; I need to get busy with some work.”

Mo Yaoxiong came over, unable to help but ask, “Why is your work so busy?”

“No helping it, being a lawyer is like this.”

A call from a client, and you have to relieve their worries, not to mention that this divorce case is trickier than all previous ones, involving the custody of the child.

Originally, the court hearing was scheduled for today, but in the morning she went to the hospital. Mrs. Xu, having had a conflict with her husband, was pushed and fell against a glass, falling down and slashing her whole hand and bleeding profusely, with the child frightened to the point of loud crying…

It’s truly exhausting!

“It’s fine to like your job, but since you’re home now, relax a bit, spend more time with the kids,” Mo Yaoxiong urged. “By the way, did Yebai send you a message today?”

Mo Weiyi nodded, “Yeah, he messaged me when he arrived in Haicheng this afternoon.”

He had actually called first.

But at that time she was negotiating with He Bowen in the conference room. When it ended and she saw the message, she just sent a “good” in reply.

After that, Xiao Yebai did not send any more messages.

Probably he was busy.

“That’s good,” Mo Yaoxiong nodded.

**

Mrs. Xu’s hand injury was quite severe, she was under observation in the hospital for a few days and finally could be discharged. She directly sought Mo Weiyi, firmly refusing mediation.

Hence, during the week of Xiao Yebai’s business trip, Mo Weiyi was busy with the case.

Until the new week arrived.

At the breakfast table, Mo Yaoxiong seemed casually to ask, “Isn’t Yebai coming back today?”

Mo Weiyi nodded, “He said he would arrive in Nancheng at 12 noon.”

Last night, Xiao Yebai sent her a WeChat message saying he would catch a plane early today to come back, with a landing time of noon twelve o’clock.

Mo Yaoxiong nodded, “Today happens to be his birthday. You go to the airport to pick him up first, then go to the hotel.”

Mo Weiyi pursed her red lips, “But I need to appear in court this morning.”

“Once the court is finished, head over there; the timing should work out.”

Mo Weiyi took a sip of soy milk, “Someone else can pick him up, I don’t need to go right?”

Hearing this, there was some disappointment on Mo Yaoxiong’s face.

However, spouses’ issues weren’t something he wanted to meddle in too much, “Then, alright, I’ll have Rong An go pick him up. Shi Bo reserved a private room at Mingdu Hotel. Once your court case is over, head straight there. Thirty is a significant birthday, can’t be taken lightly.”

“He doesn’t even like celebrating birthdays.”

“What did you say?”

Mo Weiyi coughed twice, “Nothing.”

Honestly, since he came to the Mo Family, Xiao Yebai seemed disinterested in celebrating birthdays.

Mo Weiyi remembered the first birthday he celebrated was initiated by Mo Yaoxiong; at that time, a birthday cake was especially ordered, but throughout, that man maintained a cold face, and even when she gave him a gift, barely any emotion showed.

Later, every year when his birthday came, Mo Weiyi would start brainstorming months in advance over what gift to give him. To make each time a different surprise, she even took classes to learn many things she would never normally touch, continuing until three years ago, when she left…

Indeed.

“By the way, what birthday gift did you prepare for Yebai this time?” Mo Yaoxiong asked.

Mo Weiyi took a tissue and wiped her son’s mouth, “Dad, we’ve been married so long, these formalities aren’t necessary, right? Besides, he lacks nothing…”

“You, my child,” Mo Yaoxiong sighed with some helplessness, “I remember in the past you always carefully picked something special for him…”

“But he never liked what I gave.”

“Daddy!”

Hearing her son suddenly call out, Mo Weiyi smiled at him, and although her tone remained indifferent, she said, “Since he never liked my gifts, why would I bother so much?”

Besides, she had been really busy recently and was still upset, so she couldn’t be as delightfully engaged in preparing birthday gifts for him as before…

And she just wasn’t in the mood.

“Yebai is the type whose actions are warm, though he appears cold. He has actually kept all the gifts you gave him well preserved…”

“It’s too late now,” Mo Weiyi suddenly stood up. “I need to get to the courthouse. Baby, come give Mommy a kiss, wish Mommy good luck in winning the case today, okay?”

Little Nuonuo lifted his little face and planted a “smack” on hers.

He waved his little hands, obedient and cute.

Mo Weiyi left, feeling completely satisfied.

As for Mo Yaoxiong, he shook his head, quite helplessly.
