Chapter 916: Mobei Extra 6, Weiyi, my heart is hurting right now… Chapter 916: Mobei Extra 6, Weiyi, my heart is hurting right now… “`
These three words were full of possessiveness.
Zhan Yao, with his fingers stiff in midair, “…”
He was stunned for several seconds.
Then.
“Tsk!” Zhan Yao withdrew his hand and propped up his legs again, “Stingy!”
Who knew if living alone for too long made n more feminine.
Xiao Yebai didn’t use to be so fond of small animals before; how co he now cherishes this dog so much?
He even nad it “Xiaoyi”…
Totally disgusting.
“Woof woof!” As if understanding his thoughts, the Labrador barked at him twice.
Zhan Yao glared at it, then spoke again, “You still haven’t said, what are you going to Kyoto for? Business or pleasure?”
Xiao Yebai, with his head lowered, his well-defined slender fingers petting the dog’s head, “To attend an event.”
“What event?” Zhan Yao pressed on.
Xiao Yebai lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, “None of your business.”
“Damn it, I know it’s none of my business. I’m just curious, okay?”
After all, even though Mo Group had grown so large, Xiao Yebai rarely went on business trips in the past three years.
Besides going to work every day and staying at ho after work, he did travel abroad with him several tis, for the purpose of looking for Little Princess, although they always returned empty-handed…
Seeing Xiao Yebai not responding, Zhan Yao said, “If it’s not important, you’d better not go, because soone on my end has found a clue.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yebai halted in his actions.
He looked up, his eyes not moving as he fixed his gaze on Zhan Yao, his handso features slightly tense, his voice just as tense, “Where is she?”
“Rember the hacker I told you about last ti?”
“Continue.” Xiao Yebai’s voice was cold.
“I’ve found out that he should be a Chinese person because most of the cases he took on in the past were in China, until three years ago when he suddenly shifted his battleground to North Arica. Plus, from specific operational details and habits, it matches very well with that bodyguard of Little Princess.”
“Have you found the exact location?”
“Not yet, but we can confirm it’s in the territory of J Country in North Arica. I ca to tell you the mont I got the news, so…” Zhan Yao spread his hands, “You choose for yourself, do you want to go to Kyoto, or co with to J Country? There aren’t many cases at the office recently, I’m free, and I can go with you.”
Xiao Yebai imdiately grabbed his phone, “Secretary Xu.”
As he told the secretary to cancel the flight over the phone, a smile ford on Zhan Yao’s lips.
Soon, Xiao Yebai hung up the call, “I had the secretary book a ticket to J Country for tonight, co with .”
Zhan Yao was startled by this, “Damn, I didn’t an for you to go tonight, and I still need to take ti off, there’s a case I haven’t wrapped up…”
“If you’re not going, I’ll go alone.”
Zhan Yao: “…”
Really said and done in the sa breath.
He urged, “Can’t you be less hasty? The doctor said your heart condition hasn’t been diagnosed yet. I suggest going back to the hospital for observation for two more days, just in ti for to finish up my work, and we can go together…”
Xiao Yebai interrupted indifferently, “I want to find her imdiately.”
“I know, but what if it’s another wild goose chase?” Zhan Yao felt tired, “We’ve had our share of fruitless trips before, more than once, so don’t be so rushed. If we don’t find her…”
“Impossible.” Xiao Yebai cut him off again, “We’ll find her eventually.”
“But it’s been over three years, you’d better be prepared for not finding her. Ti can change a lot, what if she’s already forgotten you, doesn’t love you anymore, or has married another man…”
“`
Zhan Yao felt that all of this was indeed possible.
After all, the Little Princess was so beautiful, wherever she went, she easily garnered the admiration of n.
Three years was truly enough ti for many possibilities.
Even…
It’s possible that the Little Princess never gave birth to the child at all, given that she was only twenty-one years old when she was pregnant, a divorced woman alone in a foreign country, it was entirely possible that she could have terminated her ex-husband’s pregnancy.
Of course, he hadn’t voiced this speculation.
Silence fell upon the bedroom.
Zhan Yao looked at Xiao Yebai.
The man cast his eyes downward at the Labrador with pure white fur on his lap, not speaking a word.
After a few seconds, he began speaking indifferently, “It doesn’t matter.”
Zhan Yao frowned, “What do you an?”
Xiao Yebai’s fingers, distinct with their knuckles, lifted the Labrador and placed it on the floor, watching as it slowly trotted away, his voice low and resolute, “As long as I find her, I have my ways of making her stay by my side.”
“You’re quite confident?” Zhan Yao couldn’t help but chuckle, “You couldn’t make her stay three years ago, what makes you sure you can now?”
Xiao Yebai gave him a lukewarm glance.
Zhan Yao inexplicably read into it a sense of… “you’re teaching how to do my job.”
…
No matter how much Zhan Yao tried to persuade him, Xiao Yebai only agreed to set off in two days, but he didn’t return to the hospital.
Zhan Yao, feeling uneasy, went downstairs, summoned a servant, and only left after giving multiple instructions.
One hour later.
Aunt Zhou saw that the soup was ready and turned off the heat, then she went upstairs to call for lunch.
At the bedroom door on the second floor, she gently tapped on the door, “Young Master Xiao, it’s twelve o’clock, ti to co down for lunch.”
No one responded.
She pressed her ear against the door to listen.
Not feeling reassured, she reached for the doorknob.
To her surprise, the door wasn’t locked.
When she pushed open the bedroom door, Aunt Zhou saw Xiao Yebai lying on his side, eyes closed as if asleep.
Next to him, the white Labrador lay on the carpet, lifting its head upon hearing her and gazing at her with shiny black eyes.
Eyes t.
Several seconds later, Aunt Zhou quietly closed the door and went back downstairs.
**
In his dream, Xiao Yebai found himself in the Mo Family’s old mansion, in the servants’ quarters.
Because on his first day there, he had accidentally pushed the Mo Family’s Little Princess to the ground. Although she wasn’t hurt, the fall was painful and she cried fiercely.
Old Master Mo was unforgiving, striking him several tis with his cane on the spot before taking Weiyi back to their quarters.
And the culprit, Xiao Yebai, was taken back here by Uncle Shi to face family discipline.
In his early years, Old Master Mo mingled with the underworld, living a life on the edge of the knife, and brought with him a heavy streetwise attitude, fond of establishing various rules.
As the number of the Mo Family’s servants and bodyguards grew, these household disciplines were formally established, without exception, anyone who made a mistake had to endure fifty lashes.
The lash was made of a nylon material, and the mont that first strike landed, Xiao Yebai’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat, his body tensing like a tightened string.
Uncle Shi’s face was expressionless, “Do you realize your mistake?”
He too had been mingling in society with Old Master Mo since his youth, being a trained fighter. And with no restraint in his blows, ordinary people simply couldn’t withstand them.
But Xiao Yebai, aside from grunting when hit, did not admit his mistakes, nor cry out in pain, and most certainly did not beg for rcy…
Several boys who looked to be in their teens were peeking outside the room.
All dressed in the Mo Family’s uniform servant attire.
“What are you looking at?”
At the sound of the voice, the boys turned and imdiately called out, “Young Master Rong An.”
Among the group of servants and bodyguards at the Mo Family, Rong An was the most handso, and was the most beloved by the Little Princess, so everyone treated him with great respect.
They eagerly related the events to him.
Nothing more than that a newcor has arrived at the household today, but he was so audacious as to make the Little Princess cry, so he is being punished right now.
“Young Master Rong An, I think he looks soft and fragile, just like a woman, nothing compared to how handso you are,” one of them said.
“Exactly! And the Little Princess even said she wants him as a boyfriend!”
“He deserves the beating!”
“Let him be arrogant again after this!”
“I was asking him to change clothes just now; he wouldn’t even speak to …”
A stream of complaints filled their words.
Rong An looked towards the room.
Xiao Yebai, with his back towards the outside, was standing there being punished. Because of the punishnt, his upper clothing had been removed, revealing his slim and pale upper body.
Just after receiving a lash, a red mark on the back of his shoulder blade was especially clear, shocking to behold…
“But this brat really can endure!”
“Not crying or screaming…”
“He’s even a year younger than . Would it kill him to beg for rcy instead of being so stubborn?”
“Exactly, Uncle Shi is the most softhearted…”
“Stop crowding around,” Rong An interjected. “Be careful or Uncle Shi might drag you in and give each of you ten lashes.”
Hearing these words, the boys didn’t dare to speak further and hurried off.
Rong An stood there, hearing Uncle Shi’s voice rise from inside.
“Do you realize your mistake?”
“…” Xiao Yebai did not speak.
With a “smack”, the second lash ca down.
Rong An frowned and turned away.
…
Not even ten minutes had passed.
“Stop! Uncle Shi, stop! Stop right now!” Weiyi, in her red princess dress, ran into the room gasping for breath.
Behind her, Rong An stood at the door.
Inside the room, Uncle Shi had only delivered a few lashes and wasn’t yet finished. He swung the whip in surprise at her arrival. “Little Princess, what are you doing here…”
“Who told you to hit him!” Weiyi moved to grab the whip from his hand.
Uncle Shi, afraid that the rough whip would hurt the Little Princess’s delicate hands, hastily threw the whip aside. “I’m not beating anyone! I’ve stopped.”
Weiyi glared at him furiously. “Without my orders, you aren’t allowed to touch him! Did you hear that? He’s mine!”
“Understood, Uncle Shi hears you,” Uncle Shi said sheepishly, but at that mont, he could only comply with every demand.
Weiyi huffed arrogantly and hurried to Xiao Yebai’s side.
The Xiaobai who had earlier been as fresh as a breeze under the bright moon, now looked like he’d been fished out of water, his face covered in cold sweat and his hair drenched, his handso features twisted with pain.
Weiyi asked timidly, “Xiaobai, does it hurt a lot?”
Xiao Yebai did not speak, just looked at her coldly.
What kind of look was that?
The ten-year-old Weiyi, not understanding, was so frightened by his icy and startling gaze that she abruptly took a large step back.
Xiao Yebai clenched his teeth and turned to ask, “Is it over?”
Uncle Shi, speechless, looked at the stubborn boy before him. “Aren’t you going to thank the Little Princess? If she didn’t fancy you, you’d be getting a full fifty lashes. I barely got a few lashes in and you couldn’t take it, let alone the remaining dozens of lashes – I don’t know if you’d still be alive to endure them!”
“I pushed her on purpose.”
Uncle Shi was startled. “You said what?”
“Because I don’t like her.” Xiao Yebai maintained an expressionless face, obviously in pain with sweat streaming down his face.
“… You brat!” Uncle Shi, having disciplined so many servants and bodyguards, had never seen anyone so arrogant, one who dared not take the Little Princess seriously?
He turned abruptly and strode over, picking up the whip once more.
But Weiyi suddenly rushed forward, standing in front of Xiao Yebai with her arms outspread, “You’re not allowed to hit him! I forbid it!”
“Little Princess…”
“Without my permission, none of you are allowed to touch him, or even have the right to! Did you hear ?” Having spoken, Weiyi pulled Xiao Yebai by the hand and rushed outside.
…
Xiao Yebai’s eyes snapped open as he lay on the couch, his body stiff.
It was only when he heard the low whimpering of an animal that he turned his head.
He saw a Labrador lying on the carpet.
He then sat up from the couch.
It was already dusk outside, the red setting sun’s remaining light stread through the glass at an angle, casting long shadows over the carpet.
Xiao Yebai lowered his head to look at his hands.
It was as if he could still feel the soft warmth of the ten-year-old girl’s fingers holding his from his dream.
The sound of her crying and shouting continuously echoed in his ears…
“Xiaobai will feel pain!”
“You’re not allowed to hit him! I forbid it!”
“Without my command, none of you are allowed to touch him! Or even have the right to! Did you hear ?”
“…”
The once Weiyi would panic whenever he was hurt, shed tears, say she would protect him and forbid anyone from hurting him.
But what about now?
In early September, Nancheng’s weather was slightly cool, nearing 10 degrees in the early morning and evening, yet his clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat.
Xiao Yebai raised his hand and pressed it against his left chest.
Weiyi…
My heart hurts now…
Every ti I think of you, dream of you, my heart aches terribly.
But where are you now?
