My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day - Chapter 537
Chapter 537: 537, why can’t you sleep?
With yesterday’s experience of feeding water, Mo Weiyi was much more adept this time. She scooped up less than half a spoon each time and steadily handed it to him to drink.
After quickly finishing a small bowl of chicken soup, she asked, “Do you want more?”
“Hmm,” the man replied with a grunt.
Mo Weiyi stood up once again to fill half a bowl of soup, all the while muttering internally.
He clearly seemed to be starving like a ghost, and yet he refused to drink chicken soup when Uncle Liu offered it. Is this man some sort of masochist, she wondered?
Reflecting on what Zhan Yao and Aunt Zhou had said, Mo Weiyi returned with the chicken soup and sat down next to the bed. She asked him, “Don’t you know that your stomach problem is severe? Why do you still drink alcohol every night?”
Xiao Yebai looked at her, his profound eyes seeming to churn with some sort of emotion.
Just when Mo Weiyi thought he wouldn’t answer, he said, “It helps me sleep.”
Mo Weiyi’s heart pounded wildly like a frightened deer; her voice softened even more. “Why can’t you sleep?” she asked.
Xiao Yebai continued to look at her with deep, lingering eyes.
Although he didn’t respond this time, Mo Weiyi felt that no answer was needed.
She reluctantly pulled her gaze from his mesmerizingly attractive eyes, her heart raced, and her cheeks started to turn a little red. Embarrassed, she stammered, “Your future behavior will determine how everything goes. If you disappoint me, I will still ask for a divorce.”
The man looked at her lovely, flushed face, his low, husky voice grew even softer, almost a whisper between lovers, “What kinds of acts?”
“Husbandly duties. You must be kind to me. If you’re not, I may fall for another man, and stop loving you. Then you will truly lose me, and I will make sure you can never find me again.”
“Are you talking about…” referred Xiao Yebai with narrowed eyes, his handsome face hardened, “Ling Zhizhou?”
Mo Weiyi: “…..”
Why was Ling Zhizhou being brought up again?
As expected, Xiao Yebai said immediately, “Haven’t I told you to stay away from that Ling Zhizhou?”
“Then should you also keep your distance from Tian Ye?” Mo Weiyi quickly retorted.
Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, “I’ve already explained what happened yesterday.”
“I’m talking about the future.”
Regarding yesterday’s matter, Xiao Yebai and Zhan Yao had already made their explanations, yet Mo Weiyi felt that this woman Tian Ye had extraordinarily thick skin, she seemed to know nothing about avoiding suspicion.
Xiao Yebai simply said, “Okay.”
On hearing these two words, Mo Weiyi felt truly at ease.
She held the small spoon, scooped up the soup, and slowly passed it to him.
However, to her surprise, Xiao Yebai didn’t open his mouth.
Just when Mo Weiyi was about to speak, her delicate wrist was held by his bony hand.
She looked up, meeting his intense gaze.
“What… what are you doing?” Mo Weiyi’s voice was soft and slightly flirty.
Xiao Yebai’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his lips parted slightly, “What did you call me just now?”
“What did I call you?” Mo Weiyi feigned ignorance.
Xiao Yebai smiled.
Mo Weiyi’s heart pounded wildly, just like a little rabbit.
…
When Ye Bei arrived at the hospital room, the scene he witnessed was exactly this.
A young and beautiful girl sitting beside the bed, a spoon in hand, attempting to deliver it to the thin lips of the man lying in the bed, but her hand was held by the man’s.
Both locking eyes, their faces were incredibly close.
It seemed like she was just trying to feed him, but in reality, it looked more like… they were flirting!
Since the door was left open, he caught sight of them as he walked by.
But he stood at the door for several seconds, and they didn’t even notice….
Knock Knock Knock! Ye Bei lifted his hand and rapped hard on the doorframe.
As a result….
Ah!
Startled by the sudden noise, soup splashed out of Mo Weiyi’s spoon and landed on Xiao Yebai’s legs.
The room was heated so the man was wearing only a simple hospital gown. The small spoonful of soup, although not much, wet his gown.
Mo completedly dropped the bowl and spoon in her frenzy to clean up, grabbing tissue from nearby to wipe it up.
She was so immersed that she didn’t even notice that the person knocking had walked in, or that the place she was wiping was the man’s leg, dangerously close to a sensitive area.
Seeing this, Ye Bei couldn’t help but clear his throat, “ahem ahem.”
Then, Mo Weiyi’s busy small hand was held by the man’s big hand, at the same time, his other hand pulled the nearby blanket to cover him.
“No need to wipe it.” The man stated calmly.
“…Oh.”
Mo Weiyi hadn’t realized anything amiss yet.
She blushed, tossed a tissue into the nearby trash can, then turned around to greet the newcomer, “Hello.”
“Miss Mo, hello.” Ye Bei finally walked over with a smile.
He held a gift box in his hand, probably filled with nutrition products, and cradled a large bouquet of lilies in his arm. He asked warmly, “Yebai, how is your health? I heard from Zhan Yao that you were seriously ill. I was so scared that I dashed over to see you during my lunch break.”
Xiao Yebai’s tone remained flat, “I won’t die.”
Ye Bei laughed rather awkwardly.
The reason he came today was also because he heard from Zhan Yao that Xiao Yebai was seriously ill. If that was the case, Mo Weiyi, as his wife, would surely be taking care of him in the ward.
And indeed, he saw her as soon as he entered.
However, his relationship with Xiao Yebai was mediocre at best.
There were many Chinese students at that American Institute, and there was an internal forum for communication. Among his peers, there were only four of them who were Chinese, so not long after their entrance, the four of them were urged to participate in regular organized gatherings.
However, Xiao Yebai never attended these meetings.
It was during this time that he met Tian Ye and fell in love.
Compared to foreign women, Ye Bei preferred Chinese women for their delicate, fair, and intricate appearance.
Therefore, his years of getting along with Tian Ye were harmonious until his parents in Nancheng found out about his girlfriend, and they went to investigate Tian Ye’s background.
Under the interference of his parents, he proposed the breakup with Tian Ye.
He didn’t notice anything wrong at the time. It wasn’t until he returned to China a while back that he discovered that Tian Ye had been interested in Xiao Yebai for a long time.
No wonder she was so decisive when they broke up.
After all, Ye Bei thought he was a top-tier choice for women in terms of wealth, appearance, and knowledge. His family, the Ye family, was also prominent in Nancheng. It was surprising that Tian Ye was able to give up on him so easily. Her ambition was not small at all.
However…
Ye Bei looked at Mo Weiyi.
Having such a sweet and beautiful wife like her, coupled with Mo Weiyi’s background, would Xiao Yebai be stupid enough to give up Mo Weiyi and get together with Tian Ye?
Of course, the answer was an obvious no.
Ye Bei immediately put on what he thought was a charming smile, “Miss Mo, why not have a maid or a caregiver help you?”
Mo Weiyi glanced at him, “He finds it annoying.”
Ye Bei continued to smile, “You two have a really good relationship.”
Mo Weiyi also smiled, “You and your girlfriend also have a good relationship.”
She still remembered the last gathering when the two of them went straight into the restroom and didn’t come out.
Ye Bei was taken aback, “Are you talking about Linlin from last time?”
He immediately stated, “We have broken up.”
“Broken up?” Mo Weiyi frowned.
It seemed like it hadn’t even been a month since the last class reunion. They had broken up already?
“Little girl, always nagging, excessively emotional, no shared topics.” Ye Bei had a nonchalant attitude.
Mo Weiyi nodded, “Let me go wash the dishes, you two chat.”
“Miss Mo, do you need my help?” Ye Bei offered enthusiastically.
Xiao Yebai gave him a glance.
Mo Weiyi naturally declined, “No need, it’s just washing dishes.”
When she went into the bathroom, Ye Bei slowly looked away, but as soon as he did, he found himself met with a pair of icy eyes.
Ye Bei was taken aback, quickly putting a smile on his face, “Yebai, has Tian Ye come to see you?”
Xiao Yebai gave a flat response, “Yes.”
“That’s good.” Ye Bei laughed.
There was nothing else to say.
No one spoke. The atmosphere in the ward was painfully awkward.
Fortunately, Mo Weiyi returned quickly.
She placed the small bowl back on the table, “It’s getting late, I should get going.”
At her words, Ye Bei was startled, while Xiao Yebai’s expression turned frosty.
“What are you doing?”
Mo Weiyi pulled out a tissue to wipe her precious little hands, softly grumbling with a hint of disgust, “I forgot to bring hand cream.”
The smell of detergent lingered.
After wiping her fingers, she looked up, flashing a charming and gorgeous smile, “I’m going home to take a nap. If I don’t, I won’t be pretty anymore, what to do then?”
