Chapter 858: 858, [Heading to Kyoto 1] Find soone to follow him
Mo Weiyi, though she had only been hospitalized for a few days, had quite a lot of belongings with her.
By the ti she finally finished packing and returned to the Lishui Bay Villa, it was already past two in the afternoon.
“Aunt Zhou, help pack for my trip tomorrow.”
Aunt Zhou tried to dissuade her, “Princess, you don’t usually travel far, and now you’re…” pregnant.
“With Rong An accompanying , what’s there to worry about?”
“But Master Xiao is very worried about you…”
“Aunt Zhou.” Mo Weiyi looked at her and said solemnly, “Xiao Yebai and I have already signed the divorce papers, we have no relationship now, and he has no say over . Although Grandpa and Dad don’t know about the divorce yet, it wouldn’t be too big of a deal even if they did find out. Do you understand what I an?”
Aunt Zhou nodded, “I understand.”
Mo Weiyi averted her gaze, first carefully reading through all the precautions for pregnant won flying, then she sent out a ssage in her besties group chat.
[Wanwan, Huanhuan, I’m going to Kyoto tomorrow. I’ll bring back gifts for you.]
…
At that ti, at the aquarium.
With both the elderly and children to look after, Su Wanwan and Shi Huan had no ti to check the ssages on their phones.
Not until after finishing the exhibition here, did Nangong Ci imdiately say, “Well, it’s getting late. I should first…”
“Yeah, you go ahead and buy the tickets.”
Nangong Ci’s handso face twitched, “Big Brother, I…”
I clearly ant to say I’m going ho first!
Today there were eight people making up three couples, but he was assigned to take care of Tang Yiwen.
Others were holding hands, walking in pairs.
As for him, despite being handso and dashing, he had to follow an old man in his seventies everywhere. What was this all about?
At this point, Su Wanwan took out her phone and saw the ssage.
She then looked up at everyone, “Does anyone here have contacts in Kyoto?”
“What for?” Huo Jingshen asked.
Su Wanwan said, “Weiyi is going to Kyoto to find soone tomorrow. I’m worried about her; she has never been there before, plus she’s currently pregnant.”
Huo Jingshen nodded.
But he said nothing.
It wasn’t until Chu Xiuhuang spoke up, “Big Brother, isn’t Little Six in Kyoto?”
“Right, Little Six is in Kyoto.” Nangong Ci hurriedly agreed, “Sister-in-law, you just have to let Big Brother call Little Six. He’s quite influential there; just have him arrange for soone to receive the Little Princess. It’ll make things very convenient for her.”
“Who is Little Six?” Su Wanwan was curious.
“Little Six…” Nangong Ci glanced at a certain soone and suddenly broke into a sly smile, “is Big Brother’s youngest uncle.”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
“You have an uncle?” Su Wanwan beca even more curious, “Why haven’t I ever heard you ntion him?”
Not only had Huo Jingshen never ntioned him, but even the Huo Family had never told her.
The elderly Mrs. Huo had given birth to two sons and a daughter, and she had not heard of Mr. Huo having other brothers.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, noncommittal, and remained silent.
Who knew…
“Not just an uncle, but also… hahaha…” Nangong Ci tried to hold back his laughter as he spoke.
“Also what?” Su Wanwan didn’t understand.
“Hahaha…” Nangong Ci continued laughing.
Chu Xiuhuang also curved up the corners of his mouth, “Indeed, I haven’t been in touch with Little Six for a long ti. Big Brother, this is the perfect opportunity.”
Su Wanwan nodded, “Then when we get back, call the uncle for .”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
**
After returning ho that evening and having dinner, Su Wanwan first called Mo Weiyi and then went back to the bedroom.
“Husband, I’ve already talked it over with Weiyi. Now hurry up and call Little Six, quick, quick!”
Huo Jingshen sat on the sofa, his long legs bent, his brows slightly furrowed, “Why… should I help that giant baby?”
Su Wanwan’s hopeful face imdiately drooped, “What do you an?”
Huo Jingshen said, “No.”
Su Wanwan clenched her fists, staring at him for several seconds.
As soon as Huo Jingshen looked up, he saw her angry expression.
Before he could speak again…
“Can’t you show a little compassion?” Su Wanwan was furious, “Weiyi is currently pregnant and traveling around is not very safe for her, plus, she’s going with Rong An. There’s a difference between n and won, and many things are inconvenient! She’s going to find her birth mother this ti. If the address is wrong or sothing, she’ll need help…”
After speaking, she sat down beside him, “I don’t care, you must help her this ti.”
Huo Jingshen remained unmoved, “What does her business have to do with ?”
Let alone him having to contact that Little Six for help.
Although called an uncle, Little Six was in fact quite a few years younger than him.
But because he was a late-life child born to the second Mrs. Ming in her forties, his seniority was a full generation above theirs, so as a child, he often took advantage of his status and bullied them, along with Gu Huai’an.
Even though they were of similar age, to tell the truth, they hardly played together.
Moreover, Huo Jingshen went abroad at an early age, and not long after, Ming Jinmo followed to study abroad. Like him, he stayed overseas for many years. Upon their return, he didn’t go back to Nancheng but instead chose to stay in Kyoto. As a result, their relationship grew even more distant.
“Can’t you show a little compassion?” Su Wanwan vehently patted his shoulder.
“My shoulder hasn’t recovered yet.” Huo Jingshen caught her small hand, “It hurts.”
“You know pain?” Su Wanwan pulled her hand away, “Weiyi is now hurting a hundred tis more than you! A thousand tis! Ten thousand tis!”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Whether that giant baby was in pain or not, what did it have to do with him?
But seeing the little girl so agitated, he wisely chose not to speak again.
Otherwise, he would only add fuel to the fire, causing the relationship between the couple, which had just begun to improve, to collapse once more.
It wasn’t worth affecting the relationship between husband and wife because of an outsider.
He glanced at the ti and got up from the sofa, “I’ll go downstairs and handle…”
“Husband.”
Su Wanwan suddenly stood up and grabbed his arm.
Huo Jingshen’s brow twitched.
The little girl’s voice beca soft and cooing, and she even proactively snuggled into his arms, wrapping her arms around his waist and looking up.
“Husband.”
With another soft entreaty, she then pressed her lips heavily upon his own.
The little girl’s lips were very soft, warm and cool.
When touched, they felt moist, but quickly pulled away, leaving behind a lingering ticklish sensation.
Huo Jingshen’s heart stirred, his arms already tightened around her, and then he sat back down directly.
“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
Su Wanwan, held in his arms, sat on his lap, “Then will you help Weiyi or not? Hubby, hubby, please help her, okay…”
As she spoke, she deliberately pursed her lips, her watery phoenix eyes staring at him, captivating and bewitching.
Calling him ‘hubby’ over and over again was especially sweet and nagging.
Huo Jingshen had no temper against her teasing.
No matter how tough he was, she wore him down, and he lowered his head and bit her lips directly, “Be good, say a few more sweet words.”
Su Wanwan was speechless, but could only wrap her arms around his neck and begin to flatter, “Hubby, how co you’re so handso, such a high nose, it could be a slide, your eyes are so beautiful, shining like the stars in the sky…”
There was no other way, this was the only trick to deal with him.
As for Huo Jingshen: “…”
Su Wanwan, suppressing her revulsion, had praised him to the skies with all sorts of flattery, then finally asked, “I said so many nice things, are you going to agree or not?”
Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, “Since hubby is so great, does baby love ?”
Su Wanwan nodded, “Love! Baby loves you to death!”
Ugh…
“So baby loves that much? But this morning, I clearly rember you telling your master that I’m old, saying I’m not in good health, that I’ll beco a cranky old man before you…”
“No way.” Su Wanwan internally complained, but on the outside stayed sweetly affectionate, “Hubby, you’re just thirty-one, perfectly pri. I read online that n in their twenties are too immature, n in their forties are too old-fashioned, only n around thirty are just the perfect pri age!”
“Is that so?” Huo Jingshen was pleased, his eyes drooping to look at her, his voice lowered, husky and enticing as he said, “Since that’s the case, baby, call ‘brother’ and let hear it.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
The shaless guy! He’s practically old enough to be an uncle, yet he wants her to call him ‘brother’?
“Hmm?”
As Huo Jingshen’s handso brows lifted, Su Wanwan imdiately called out sweetly, “Brother!”
The man imdiately began to laugh.
His low laughter was like the playing of cello strings, the warm breath fanning out beside her ear, causing confusion.
Su Wanwan was also impressed.
Just calling him “brother” and he’s this happy?
Childish!
Next.
“Call it a couple more tis for to hear.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Nima!
She has to call him again?
She closed her eyes, enduring the urge to speak.
“Say ‘brother’ a couple more tis, and I’ll pamper you right away.”
As soon as she heard these suggestive words, Su Wanwan couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up with a “swoosh”, “You lecher!”
Wanting to leave, she was quickly caught by Huo Jingshen and sat back on his lap.
“What? You want to run away after teasing?”
Su Wanwan struggled desperately, “If you’re not helping, then forget it, you’re so annoying, all day long you just know how to sweet-talk …”
“I’m not sweet-talking.” Huo Jingshen said, lifting her up in his arms, “Be good, brother will pamper you now.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Soone help, there’s lechery abound!
**
Su Wanwan swore that she would never take the initiative to tease Huo Jingshen again!
Her fair shoulders and the back of her neck were exposed, the beautiful butterfly bones slightly protruding, still bearing the marks he’d left…
Vulnerable and pitiful.
Yet still damn tempting.
“Why don’t you beco a gigolo!” Su Wanwan cursed, unable to suppress her anger.
Having cried and shouted for half a day, her voice was slightly hoarse.
Utterly wronged.
She just wanted to help a good friend, how did she end up like this?
Huo Jingshen kissed her reddened ears, the scorching breath swirling about her ear, his voice hoarse and magnetic, “Wasn’t it you who seduced first? Hmm?”
Seeing that he was about to take action again…
“I was wrong, okay, I’ll never tease you again…”
“Too late.” Huo Jingshen was unmoved.
Su Wanwan pouted her lips, “You don’t love at all, you just know how to sweet-talk every day, you won’t even help my best friend, you are nothing but a beast… no, worse than a beast!”
“Say it again.”
“You don’t love at all, you’re just lusting after my body! You’re lascivious! You’re cheap! You’re shaless!”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Where in the world did she learn these online terms?
**
Fortunately.
After a satisfying al, Huo Jingshen still kept his promise, quickly agreeing to ask Uncle Six for help.
Su Wanwan was still not reassured, “Call him here, I want to listen.”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
“Hurry up!”
Huo Jingshen had no choice, at that mont feeling content…
Fine then.
He took out his phone and started calling soone.
As soon as it connected, Su Wanwan imdiately pressed the “speaker” button.
Then a young man’s voice ca through the phone, “Hmm? What made you think to call ?”
Listening to this… annoying voice, Huo Jingshen’s eyebrows involuntarily jerked violently twice.
Su Wanwan was also surprised.
Isn’t that Uncle Six?
Why does his voice sound so young?
It sounds like he’s only in his twenties…
Huo Jingshen said, “My wife’s friend is going to Kyoto tomorrow to find soone, and she might need your help to take care of her.”
“Your wife’s friend?” The young man let out a low chuckle, “Male or female?”
“Female.”
“Female?” the man clicked his tongue, “Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? What if I end up taking care of her in bed…”
“The lady is pregnant,” Huo Jingshen interrupted with irritation.
Su Wanwan also slightly twitched her mouth, this person… why doesn’t he talk like an elder at all? Totally unsteady!
“That’s even more inappropriate, you know, here in Kyoto, my every move is being watched by the dia all the ti. What if I get photographed and it gets spread online saying I knocked up a woman, it wouldn’t look too good.
Su Wanwan again: “…”
Huo Jingshen then pinched the bridge of his nose, “She is my wife’s best friend, as for the specifics, I’ll send you a WeChat later.”
After finishing, he also glanced at Su Wanwan, “It’s urgent, so I owe you a favor this ti.”
“All right, it’s rare for you to ask for help.”
Hearing that Uncle Six finally agreed, Su Wanwan finally let go of a weight in her heart.
Huo Jingshen also responded, “I know you hold grudges, better jot it down in your little notebook quick.”
This ti it was the person on the other end of the phone who went: “…”
After hanging up the phone, Huo Jingshen started sending a WeChat ssage to Ming Jinmo.
Su Wanwan repeated the details to him.
By the ti Huo Jingshen finished sending the WeChat ssage.
Ming Jinmo: [What a coincidence, Gu Qi sent a ssage just now, guess what.]
Huo Jingshen: [?]
Ming Jinmo: [Gu Qi says Miss Mo is his friend’s wife and also asked to look after her.]
Huo Jingshen: […]
Ming Jinmo: [Your wife and Gu Qi’s friend wouldn’t happen to be enemies, would they?]
Huo Jingshen again: […]
Next to him, Su Wanwan asked, “How’s it going? Is everything settled?”
Huo Jingshen quickly sent a few words over, “Hmm,” he grunted.
But Su Wanwan couldn’t help but worry, “How old is your Uncle Six this year? Is he married?”
“Well, he’s not married yet.”
As for his age, let’s not talk about that now.
Su Wanwan continued to ask, “Still not married at his age? What if he takes a fancy to Weiyi’s beauty…”
“Absolutely not,” Huo Jingshen cut her off abruptly.
“Why not? Weiyi is so pretty, and your Uncle Six talks in such a sleazy way at his old age, I always feel like he’s not a good person.”
Huo Jingshen nodded, “Yeah, he’s indeed not a good person.”
“Ah, but what if he really loses control…”
“Don’t worry,” Huo Jingshen reassured her, “Although he’s not much of a gentleman in private, he is quite reliable when it cos to work and it’s even less likely for him to be attracted to that giant baby.”
“Why not?” Su Wanwan beca even more curious.
Huo Jingshen curved his lips into a smile, “Because he… is cursed with a ‘lone star,’ disastrous for both wives and children.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
**
The next day at noon.
At twelve o’clock, the plane arrived at the capital airport in Kyoto.
As soon as she got off the plane, Mo Weiyi received a call from a stranger.
“Hello, may I speak to Miss Mo Weiyi?”
“This is she.”
“Hello, I’m Ma Bi, assistant to Uncle Six…”
Mo Weiyi’s eyelids twitched.
Ma Bi?
“We’re already at the airport, once you co out, look for soone holding a ‘Mo’ sign, that’s .”
“Got it,” Mo Weiyi hurriedly acknowledged.
After hanging up the phone, she let out a sigh of relief.
Thanks to Su Wanwan, they were able to ask President Huo to trouble an elder in Kyoto to help out.
It’s said that this Uncle Six is quite a prominent figure in Kyoto, currently a big shot in the Kyoto business circle, doing very well for himself.
Originally, she had asked Rong An to book a plane ticket and hotel last night, but after a call from President Huo, Uncle Six had arranged for a place to stay, which just happened to be in the sa district as Ruan Qiyang.
This made things much easier.
…
Assistant Ma Bi was a typical Kyoto man, young and dressed in a shirt and pants with a tie. However, his large build and rough features hardly made him look like an assistant.
Especially the two people he brought with him, both over a ter eighty tall, wearing sunglasses and black clothes, they stood out in the crowd like nacing spirits…
“We’ve been waiting here for quite a while,” Ma Bi’s voice was loud, and he spoke with a distinct Kyoto accent, “Just give your luggage to them, this way please.”
“Thank you,” Mo Weiyi answered politely with a nod of thanks.
“No need to be so polite, Uncle Six said that it’s only right for an elder to take care of the younger ones.”
Mo Weiyi thanked him again, “Thanks to Uncle Six.”
…
Kyoto people are naturally enthusiastic.
Along the way, Ma Bi kept actively trying to make conversation, but…
After a few words, he realized…
These two are so taciturn!
Mo Weiyi, as a wealthy young lady and currently pregnant, seed understandably uninterested in chatting due to the tiring journey.
But as for this Rong An…
Why is he so unsmiling and silent?
If not for knowing beforehand that he was Miss Mo’s bodyguard, Ma Bi might have mistaken him for a noble son with a high-born, chilly aura.
Oh well, let it be.
Ma Bi stopped talking and focused on driving.
**
Upon arriving at Jinxiu Garden, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.
After settling into their room, Ma Bi took out two access cards and handed over the car keys, “The Sixth Master said you two should just stay here for the ti being. If you need anything, ask the servants here, or you can call directly.”
Having finished giving instructions, he added, “I have already found out Ruan Qiyang’s schedule for the next few days. She seems to have a magazine shoot today and may not return ho until late. If you want to et her, I suggest visiting tomorrow morning.”
“Thank you, Assistant Ma.”
Mo Weiyi hadn’t expected the Sixth Master to even take care of these details.
Worthy of being President Huo’s elder, his efficiency in handling matters was indeed high.
But later on, he’d find that this so-called Sixth Master was actually just a 27-year-old young man, which ca as a great shock to Mo Weiyi.
Of course, all this would co later.
…
anwhile, at Mo Group.
President’s office.
“Did the Little Princess really go to Kyoto?”
The handso and tall man sat behind his black desk, looking at the person who had co in, and took off his rimless glasses. “Wasn’t it the address you found for her?”
“…” Zhan Yao curled his lips, “Yes, I did find the address for her, but you know my status—I couldn’t not find it. And the Little Princess already trusts very little. I can’t just lie and say I couldn’t find it, right? In fact, I even delayed for a day before giving her the address… ”
“So you went behind my back and secretly found it for her?”
“When have I ever gone behind your back?”
Zhan Yao felt wronged, “Besides, if I really went behind your back, would you know about it now?”
Having finished speaking, he sat down on the chair opposite, “Why are you so calm about this?”
Your wife has run away, and you still co to work?
Just like a robot…
The robot spoke in his clean and low voice, indifferently, “Do you think I could have stopped her?”
Zhan Yao nodded.
Indeed.
Although he hadn’t known Mo Weiyi for long, he had so understanding of the Little Princess’s character.
She might look quite innocent, but she also had a rebellious side, especially when it ca to things she was determined about—she would insist on trying even if she hit a wall.
Moreover, concerning the matter about Ruan Qiyang, since she had already found out the person’s whereabouts, there was no way she wouldn’t go to confront them in person.
“Actually, it’s good for her to make the trip. If she were really prevented from going, with her character, the thought would linger in her mind all day and night, which isn’t good for her health,” Zhan Yao said.
“Did you find out anything about the matter you were looking into?”
“Oh.” When they got to the main topic, Zhan Yao passed a folder over, “I’ve checked the hospital surveillance videos, but didn’t find any suspicious persons. As for the other thing you asked to look into…”
He frowned, “I rember I had already looked into this for you before, do you still have questions?”
Xiao Yebai took the folder, opened it, and carefully reviewed the information inside.
“Have soone follow him in the next few days,” he commanded.
“Follow him?” Zhan Yao didn’t understand, “Ling Zhizhou is just a simple college student, his parents died in a car accident a few years ago. He attends college relying on work-study funds, and every day apart from working, he’s studying… Alright, alright, I got it.”
As if I owe you!
Xiao Yebai put the folder down, “You can leave now.”
Zhan Yao: “…”
Damn it!
“You tell to leave without even offering a glass of water?!”
Xiao Yebai reached out to pull open a drawer, placed the docunts inside, and locked it.
Then he lifted his head, picked up the rimless glasses from the desk, and rested them on the bridge of his nose.
Instantly, he regained his usual clean and tidy scholarly appearance.
Following that,
“You can go to the pantry and drink so water before you leave, don’t disturb my work here.”
Zhan Yao once again: “……”
Once Zhan Yao left, Xiao Yebai didn’t continue working but took out his phone instead.
He opened the recent calls log.
From top to bottom, almost all were related to work.
His slender, bone-like fingers swiped the screen, scrolling down, stopping on a particular na.
But after only a few seconds of pause, he opened the contact list, quickly found Rong An’s phone number, and dialed out.
The phone rang a few tis before being answered.
“Xiao Young Master.”
Xiao Yebai asked, “Have you reached your lodging?”
“We have already arrived,” Rong An reported. “The trip was very safe, and after settling down, the princess went to take a nap. Assistant Ma ntioned that Ruan Qiyang has a photo shoot today, so we can’t visit until tomorrow morning.”
Behind the glasses, his dark pupils slightly narrowed, “Call if sothing happens.”
“Of course.”
Xiao Yebai pursed his thin lips and hung up the phone.
**
Kyoto, Jinxiu Garden.
Mo Weiyi was a bit uncomfortable with new beds.
An old habit from her youth, it wasn’t sothing she could change overnight.
Even though she was exhausted, lying on the comfortable, soft bed, she had her eyes closed but just couldn’t fall asleep.
She got up, walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, and pulled open the curtains to look outside.
Jinxiu Garden was considered a wealthy area in Kyoto. The property she was staying at belonged to the Sixth Master who typically did not reside here but used it mostly for entertaining guests.
So the environnt was elegant, with complete anities, and it was clear from the exquisite and valuable items in the room that a lot of effort had been put into it.
And the villa itself was built like a resort.
Gardens, artificial lakes, and a golf course that stretched out as far as the eye could see…
The distance between each villa was quite vast. She had asked the servants—there were only 20 households living here, and essentially everyone was rich or noble.
Moreover, Kyoto was different from Nancheng.
Nancheng was an economic hub, and even the so-called “Four Grand Aristocratic Families” often had no connections to the political scene.
But Kyoto was different. Here, almost everyone you run into might have an extraordinary background.
Those who stand out in Kyoto are never ordinary people.
The status of the Fang Family in Kyoto was sowhat like the status of the Gu Family in Nancheng in the entire dia industry; thus, for Ruan Qiyang to marry into the Fang Family as a daughter-in-law, she must be relying on more than just her beauty.
Mo Weiyi, looking at the scenery outside the window, had an indescribable expression on her face.
