My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day-Chapter 833 - : 833, a kiss, one hundred and fifty thousand
Chapter 833: 833, a kiss, one hundred and fifty thousand
Xiao Yebai finally lowered his finger and looked up at her, “What do you want that for?”
“It’s useful.”
His eyes, dark as ink, exuded a lazy haze from drunkenness, “How is it useful?”
Mo Weiyi was a bit angry, “That’s about my identity, what do you think?”
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
“It’s unnecessary.”
Again, that casual, indifferent tone.
Mo Weiyi was not pleased to hear it.
Xiao Yebai continued, “Your mother told me at the time that the orphanage had no records of your birth parents’ information. She also had people look into it, but there were no results.”
“So I want to check for myself.” Mo Weiyi held his gaze, “Just because others can’t find them doesn’t mean I can’t.”
She was indeed curious about her own background.
It didn’t matter before when she was unaware, but now that she knew, her character wouldn’t allow her to rest without checking.
Even if she was an abandoned baby, she couldn’t possibly have sprung from a rock, right?
Seeing Xiao Yebai just looking at her but saying nothing, Mo Weiyi spoke again, “Please give it back to me.”
“…”
“What are you worried about?” Mo Weiyi suddenly narrowed her beautiful cat eyes, “Are you afraid I’ll find my birth parents? Or have you already found something out? Are they some big shots? Enough to make you, Xiao Yebai, worry like this? So you’re just this narrow-minded. I really misjudged you…”
The next second.
She widened her cat eyes, “What are you doing?”
Xiao Yebai actually stood up, then staggered toward the study.
“Xiao Yebai!” Mo Weiyi stood up with a “whoosh”, infuriated, “Rong An said that when he went upstairs yesterday, he saw Xu Jing’s bag thrown in my bedroom, Aunt Zhou said she didn’t take it, so who else could it be but you? Clearly, you hid it, didn’t you?”
But the man didn’t turn his head and went straight into the study.
As Mo Weiyi was hesitating whether to directly rush in to confront him, Xiao Yebai suddenly came out again.
A waft of alcohol hit her.
Xiao Yebai walked straight up to her, his handsome face expressionless, holding a piece of paper between his slender fingers.
Mo Weiyi quickly reached out to take it.
It was indeed the adoption certificate.
Uh…
Mo Weiyi looked up at him, “I thought you…”
Xiao Yebai, with bloodshot eyes, “Thought I what?”
“…I’m sorry.” Mo Weiyi was a bit embarrassed.
But since she misunderstood him, it was only right to apologize.
Who knew Xiao Yebai quickly said, “No need to apologize.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
“I’m used to it.”
Mo Weiyi again: “……”
Used to what?
Did he mean, he was used to being misunderstood by her?
Listen to that prideful tone, when it was clearly he who obstinately hid it and wouldn’t give it to her, even sneaking it away, if it weren’t for her persistent pressure…
“Is there anything else?” Xiao Yebai’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
Mo Weiyi clenched the paper in her hand.
Forget it.
He was drunk; better to avoid further issues.
She sat back down on the sofa and carefully read through the certificate.
In the end, besides some information Rong An had already found, there wasn’t any other useful information.
And it seemed that the bottom right corner had been burned, missing a piece…
She immediately looked to the side.
Xiao Yebai had already sat back down, removed his glasses, and closed his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed, giving off a sense of discomfort.
After a moment’s thought, Mo Weiyi stood up, went to the maid’s room, and knocked on the door.
It was still early, and Aunt Zhou hadn’t fallen asleep yet. Hearing the knock, she opened the door, “Princess…”
“Please make a sobering tea for Young Master Xiao.”
“All right.”
After giving the instruction, Mo Weiyi turned and walked towards the staircase.
Behind her, a familiar ringtone sounded, followed by Xiao Yebai’s voice.
“President Wu.”
“…”
“If you’re referring to the new energy project in the southern part of the city, I don’t think there’s any need to discuss it any further.”
Still talking about work after drinking so much?
Workaholic!
Mo Weiyi walked up the stairs.
**
After finishing her skincare routine, Auntie Zhou still hadn’t come upstairs.
Mo Weiyi thought she must be downstairs taking care of Xiao Yebai, right?
He did seem to have drunk quite a bit earlier.
After holding back for a while, Mo Weiyi went straight to bed and closed her eyes.
It was almost eleven o’clock, well past the time her biological clock was set for.
As it turned out, once she had figured some things out and her mind was free of distractions, she fell asleep quite quickly indeed.
Mo Weiyi drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
Until she was awakened by the sound of thunder.
A “booming” sound jolted her entire body, and at the same time, suddenly a pair of hands reached out to her.
Mo Weiyi wasn’t fully awake yet and immediately felt herself being pulled into a hard and icy embrace, a surge of intense fear hit her, and she screamed out loud…
“Ahhhhhh…”
She opened her eyes, about to struggle, but the arms around her had already let go.
Then, the switch for the bedside lamp was pressed, and the bedroom was instantly bathed in light.
“It’s me.”
A familiar deep voice sounded above her.
Mo Weiyi seemed stunned, her wide, clear eyes gazing at the man who, for some reason, was in her room.
“How did you get here?”
Xiao Yebai looked at her, and because she had struggled, the loose neckline of her nightgown had slipped to the side, revealing a large expanse of her fair and smooth neck and shoulder lines, and a distinct collarbone…
Perhaps realizing his overt gaze, Mo Weiyi quickly reached out to grasp her neckline, “I’m asking you a question, are you deaf?”
“I’m sorry,” Xiao Yebai’s gaze had already returned to normal, his eyes now calm and composed with a hint of apology, “I walked into the wrong room.”
“Walked into the wrong room?” Mo Weiyi looked at him incredulously.
“Yes.” Xiao Yebai said, unabashed, “I just went down to the study to deal with something, might’ve still been a bit dizzy, so I didn’t pay attention and entered the wrong room.”
That seemed to be a sufficient explanation.
In fact, he had indeed been drunk tonight.
After saying so, Xiao Yebai moved away from the bed, his tall and imposing figure now stood at the bedside.
Mo Weiyi glared at him, “In that case, please refrain from entering my room in the middle of the night in the future. If this happens again, I’ll have to move back to…”
She wanted to say she would move back to the old house.
But as the words reached her lips, she suddenly remembered she was no longer a daughter of the Mo Family, and aside from here, it seemed she had nowhere else to move…
Biting her lip, she said, “I’ll just move out!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yebai’s brows and eyes narrowed slightly, “Move out?”
“Yes!”
“Move to where?”
Mo Weiyi said, “That’s none of your business.”
Xiao Yebai was standing by the bed, but at her words, he suddenly lifted one long leg onto the bed.
Mo Weiyi was startled and hurriedly scooted backward.
But the man’s movements were too fast, and he leaned in directly, propping his hands on either side of her body, the corner of his sharp mouth curving slightly, “Have you forgotten that our divorce agreement has three main terms?”
As he spoke with a smile, Mo Weiyi knew that this sort of smile was often a harbinger of his anger.
“You were the first to breach the contract.”
“How did I breach the contract?” Xiao Yebai looked down on her imperiously, his dense black eyes scanning over her beautiful features one by one.
“How many times have you entered my room without permission?” Mo Weiyi refused to concede, “Also, don’t you think you’re too close to me right now?”
Hearing this, the curve of Xiao Yebai’s mouth deepened, he lowered his body, his prominent nose almost touching Mo Weiyi’s face.
“Does this count as a breach?” He lowered his voice, resonating it as if in an echo around her ear, “Then yesterday, when you charged over a million on my card, what was that about?”
Mo Weiyi instantly became frustrated with embarrassment, “I’ve already told you, I took the wrong card, and I’ve already returned two hundred thousand to you…”
“Then I just walked into the wrong door.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
She gritted her teeth, “I will repay the rest of the money tomorrow!”
Xiao Yebai didn’t say anything, but suddenly lifted his finger, grazing her cheek.
Mo Weiyi indeed had a very beautiful face, with perfectly proportioned features and divinely gifted delicacy. Her appearance was so perfect that it could be used directly as a model for a beauty clinic.
As the Little Princess of the Mo Family, raised in luxury and comfort, the most outstanding attribute was her delicate and fair skin. Even at such a close distance, there were no imperfections to be seen.
From childhood to adulthood, she had always been the center of attention. While at school, she was approached more than once on the streets, and even scouted to join the entertainment industry multiple times…
Mo Weiyi felt increasingly uneasy under his gaze.
After all, they were on the large bed in the bedroom, he loomed over her, and they were so close…
Without any reason, a thought entered her mind.
Almost simultaneously, Xiao Yebai said, “I don’t want your money.”
Mo Weiyi, with her shoulders hunched, said nothing.
So what then?
Not the money?
Then what did he want?
A physical… repayment?
Xiao Yebai grasped her chin, “I want you…”
As his words fell, his thin lips pressed down upon hers.
Mo Weiyi never imagined that he would actually kiss her.
Her first reaction was that he was still not sober.
To her surprise, Xiao Yebai was already kissing her deeply and fervently…
With a relentless momentum.
“Mmm…”
As soon as Mo Weiyi regained her composure, she began to struggle desperately.
But just as she placed her hands on his shoulders and before she could push him away, his large hand caught hers, intertwining their fingers and pinning them above her head on the pillow.
Her body was also heavily pressed down by him, leaving her no chance to escape.
…
The long-lost sweetness almost caused the man to lose control.
Mo Weiyi seemed to realize that she could not win the struggle, and futile resistance would only make her uncomfortable.
So, when she stopped resisting, Xiao Yebai let himself go, deepening the kiss even more.
But it only lasted for a few seconds.
Mo Weiyi lay there, her beautiful eyes staring straight at him, then a mocking voice rang out, “Are you frustrated?”
Xiao Yebai did not speak.
Mo Weiyi scoffed and continued, “You’re so busy with work every day, coming back so late at night, even if you want to take over the Mo Family, you should have had enough by now, right? There’s no need to be so desperate. Everything in excess is damaging; repressing your urges for too long can lead to sickness. It’s lucky that you only mistook me for someone else tonight. If you randomly vented on a stranger on the main road and ended up in the news, you wouldn’t be able to salvage anything.”
“I didn’t mistake you for anyone else,” Xiao Yebai said, lifting the tip of his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth.
His appearance was seductive, sexy, and alluring.
Then he continued, “I wanted to kiss you just now.”
Mo Weiyi watched him.
Two seconds later, she got up and lifted her hand straight up.
With a “smack,” she slapped him.
The air was filled with a brief silence.
Mo Weiyi was stunned for a moment.
She didn’t expect… that he would actually not dodge it.
Had he drunk so much that his reactions had dulled?
But the slap was already delivered…
“So are you awake now?” Mo Weiyi immediately said, “If you’re sober, please get out!”
Xiao Yebai slowly turned his face back, his slender fingers touching the side that got slapped, “We were even just now, a kiss for one hundred and fifty thousand.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
“But now you’ve slapped me again,” Xiao Yebai said, his hand resting on her cheek, “So should I just take you right now?”
Mo Weiyi’s pupils shrank in fear, and she began to struggle as if she had been electrocuted, “Get off! Don’t touch me! Xiao Yebai, get off…”
Her limbs were quickly restrained by him.
All she could do was twist desperately, trying to break free, while the man let out a low grunt, “Stop moving!”
Mo Weiyi initially wanted to keep struggling until…
She didn’t dare to move anymore.
Lying there in total stillness, her body taut, she was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, terrified he would lose control and take her then and there…
It took her a while before she could grit her teeth and spit out two words, “Shameless!”
Xiao Yebai looked down at her beautiful, flushed cheeks.
His breath was scorching, his voice hoarse, “This isn’t my fault, I’m a very normal man.”
Mo Weiyi: “…”
Of course, she knew he was a very normal man, which was why, even though he did not love her, he was always enthusiastic about that aspect of their marriage, always wanting her fiercely, so fiercely… that at one point she had thought he had feelings for her as well.
She stopped talking.
The man on top of her didn’t move either.
A few minutes later, it seemed as if Xiao Yebai had calmed himself down, he let go of her and then got out of bed.
“I’ll go call Auntie Zhou for you.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
…
Once Auntie Zhou came upstairs.
Xiao Yebai stood in the corridor, watching her push open the master bedroom’s door and go in.
After the door closed, he turned around and went to push open the neighboring guest bedroom’s door.
He didn’t turn on the light. In the darkness, he walked to the side of the large bed, took off his shoes, lay down, and then closed his eyes.
The pitter-patter of rain outside the window seeped into his ears, imparting a sense of tranquility.
Behavioral psychology research indicates that repetition over twenty-one days can form a habit, and ninety days’ repetition can form a stable habit.
He thought he was almost used to it; indeed, in the past few days, he really hadn’t been having much trouble sleeping.
Furthermore, the company had a lot of things going on lately, he was busy, and there were quite a few social engagements. Every night he came home exhausted, with no time to think about anything else.
Had he not been drunk tonight, he wouldn’t have accidentally entered the wrong room…
But it was just an accident.
Listening to the rain outside, Xiao Yebai closed his eyes, slowly cultivating sleepiness.
**
The next morning.
Mo Weiyi got up early and went downstairs.
“Princess,” Rong An, dressed in black, stood up from the couch.
Mo Weiyi handed him the adoption certificate, “This is the original.”
Rong An glanced at it and said, “The information on this is similar to what I found.”
Mo Weiyi naturally knew that too.
Other than the orphanage’s name and the director’s signature, there was nothing else on there.
“How about this, we’ll go and talk to the director first, see if we can get some useful information.”
Mo Weiyi nodded, “Okay.”
That was the only option.
At that moment, Auntie Zhou’s voice rang out, “Princess, breakfast is ready.”
Mo Weiyi glanced over.
The dining table was already set with an array of breakfast options, both Chinese and Western.
She immediately asked, “Rong An, have you had breakfast yet?”
“I have.”
“Then join me for a bit more.” Mo Weiyi’s words had just fallen when footsteps came from the staircase.
Rong An looked towards the man coming downstairs, “Young Master Xiao.”
Xiao Yebai nodded slightly, without speaking.
Wearing a deep gray shirt, glasses on, his eyes behind the lenses showed clear signs of redness.
It seemed he had not slept well.
Mo Weiyi quickly averted her gaze, “Let’s go.”
“But…”
Rong An was about to refuse when suddenly two soft little hands appeared on his arm.
In a moment of surprise, Mo Weiyi had already pulled him towards the dining room.
Xiao Yebai was already seated at one end of the dining table; hearing movement, he lifted his eyelids.
He just watched as Mo Weiyi led Rong An in, then they both sat opposite him.
The dining table was one of those spacious rectangular Western tables, broad enough that two people sitting together wouldn’t seem crowded.
But Xiao Yebai still took an extra moment to look.
Then, he withdrew his gaze and quietly began eating breakfast.
