Chapter 1034: Mo Family Princess’s Marriage [36] Chapter 1034: Mo Family Princess’s Marriage [36] Mo Weiyi took a car back to the old mansion; it was just past 10 in the morning.

She was a bit anxious.

Worried that Xiao Yebai had already left.

After all, ever since his first project had been successful, he had quickly been promoted within the company. His days had become even busier. On weekdays, they hardly had chances to meet, and weekends were even more tied up with outings and social engagements.

After parking the car, she pushed open the door, got out with her backpack, and dashed into the villa.

The driver, Old Li, was startled and advised her, “Princess, take it easy…”

Mo Weiyi rushed breathlessly to the villa and just happened to hear voices coming from inside.

Her eyes lit up, “Xiaobai!”

Mo Yaoxiong was in the living room talking to Xiao Yebai about work when her sudden shout startled him and caused Xiao Yebai to purse his thin lips tightly.

By the time Mo Weiyi cheerfully burst into the living room, Mo Yaoxiong’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed, “Yiyi, why are you back?”

After saying this, he glanced at his wristwatch, looking very dissatisfied.

Mo Weiyi had already run up to Xiao Yebai, her big eyes fixed on the man’s indifferent face, “Xiaobai, so you were at home. That’s great, I thought you had to go out for social engagements again today…”

“Yiyi,” Mo Yaoxiong interrupted her, “tomorrow is the entrance exam for high school, why aren’t you at school reviewing properly instead of running home?”

Mo Weiyi pouted unhappily and could only explain, “Today, the teacher gave us a day off, and said we should rest up and adjust our mindset so that we won’t be nervous for the exam tomorrow.”

Mo Yaoxiong: “Really?”

“What do you mean by that? If you don’t trust me, you can call the school yourself.” Having said this, Mo Weiyi was already no longer intent on dealing with him, “Xiaobai.”

She looked at the handsome and refined face of the man, “Tomorrow I have my high school entrance exam!”

Quick, wish me success in the entrance exam, cheer me on, let me get accepted to Nancheng University.

However, Xiao Yebai didn’t even look at her; he just stood up, “Regarding the question from earlier, I’ve considered it. I can take the risk, and I insist on investing in this case.”

These words were clearly directed at Mo Yaoxiong.

Upon hearing them, Mo Yaoxiong furrowed his brows, “Yebai, I know you have insights into the internet sector, but the shareholders have their reasons for worry. Since everyone is against it, there’s no need to insist…”

“There is a need,” Xiao Yebai said in a tone as calm as his attitude was firm, “I will take full responsibility for all consequences.”

Mo Weiyi blinked, looking back and forth between Xiao Yebai and Mo Yaoxiong.

Listening to their conversation, which was akin to a riddle to her, she didn’t quite understand, but she could vaguely discern that Xiaobai wanted to stick to his decision, although it appeared that the company’s shareholders disagreed, and her father seemed to be advising him to abandon the idea…

She couldn’t help speaking out, “Dad, just agree with Xiaobai. He will definitely make it a success, just like last time. You have to trust him.”

Her train of thought interrupted, Mo Yaoxiong wore a displeased look, “Children shouldn’t interrupt when adults are talking.”

“What children? I’m already eighteen years old, I’m an adult…”

“Enough,” Mo Yaoxiong said impatiently, “since you have the day off, go upstairs and do your homework properly. The entrance exam is tomorrow and you’re still this relaxed…”

“I’m not relaxed; this is called maintaining a proper balance,” Mo Weiyi retorted.

Mo Yaoxiong didn’t bother to argue with her any longer, his gaze returning to Xiao Yebai’s face, “I need to think about this matter further. Moreover, I need to notify your grandfather. After all, this investment is substantial, and many shareholders will certainly have opinions. They have been with your grandfather for many years, and their advice has always been heeded on major investments. This all needs careful consideration.”

Xiao Yebai nodded, “I understand.”

His expression remained impassive.

Even if refused, his face was as unfazed as ever.

Naturally, Mo Weiyi couldn’t detect any discontent in him. Once their conversation concluded, she immediately spoke, “Xiaobai, you haven’t talked to me yet.”

Thinking that after the entrance exam, this perfect man before her would become her husband…

So for tomorrow’s exam, she felt nothing but excitement and anticipation; no semblance of nervousness.

In contrast to her joy, the man’s features remained unfathomably calm, and behind his glasses, his dark eyes were opaque like a deep abyss, his voice as cold as ever, “Say what?”

“Anything is fine,” Mo Weiyi said coyly, “as long as… as long as it’s from you, I like it.”

Xiao Yebai: “…”

His brows seemed to twitch ever so slightly.

Because of the glasses, Mo Weiyi couldn’t see too clearly. She curved her lips up into a bashful smile, “Xiaobai, you haven’t forgotten our bet, have you? You said… as long as I could get into Nancheng University on my own efforts, then you would… would… with me…”

After all, she was a young girl experiencing the first flutters of romance.

Especially when they were face to face like this.

Even though Xiao Yebai’s expression hadn’t changed from beginning to end, Mo Weiyi became more and more embarrassed as she spoke, until she couldn’t help but lower her head, her fair fingers tugging at the straps of her backpack in front of her, repeatedly pulling at them.

She was the picture of coyness.

It was almost too much for Mo Yaoxiong to bear watching from the side.

The room fell into a lull.

Just as Mo Yaoxiong was about to clear his throat and speak…

“Given that,” Xiao Yebai’s deep voice broke the silence, “I’ll step out now. Discuss it with grandfather later and let me know the outcome.”

Mo Yaoxiong hurriedly replied, “Alright, then you go ahead with your work.”

Xiao Yebai nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Mo Weiyi hurriedly asked, “Xiaobai, where are you going?”

Her instinct was to chase after him, but she was stopped by Mo Yaoxiong yelling, “Yiyi, come here!”

Reluctant, Mo Weiyi took a step forward and grabbed Xiao Yebai’s arm, her tone urgent, “Xiaobai, don’t go just yet, you haven’t even spoken to me.”

“Yiyi, didn’t you hear me speak?” Mo Yaoxiong, increasing his tone, said, “Look at yourself, 18 years old, an adult, and you’re still tugging and pulling like this. What sort of behavior is that?”

Mo Weiyi turned around, pouting and glaring at him.

Mo Yaoxiong: “…”

Before he could speak, Mo Weiyi turned back, “Tomorrow is my college entrance exam. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have studied so hard this year. Xiaobai, can’t you at least encourage me? If you don’t encourage me and I lose confidence in my exam, then I might not get into Nancheng University…”

She tilted her head up, her large eyes clear and brimming with tears, and with her naturally soft and sweet voice mixed with a young girl’s coquettish tone, she sounded somewhat pitiable.

Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes slightly but said nothing.

However, Mo Yaoxiong behind her found it hard to bear.

Because he felt that, no matter how hard she tried, getting into Nancheng University wouldn’t be that easy.

But at the moment, he slowly began to speak, “Yebai, give Yiyi a bit of encouragement.”

As if receiving a task, Xiao Yebai, upon hearing it, opened his thin lips: “Good luck.”

Mo Weiyi: “????”

Her mouth twitched slightly, and she quickly expressed her dissatisfaction, “What’s that? I asked you to encourage me, and you just say good luck and that’s it? There’s no sincerity at all, too perfunctory…”

“Enough already.” Mo Yaoxiong waved, “Yebai, go ahead, don’t be late.”

Xiao Yebai nodded, exerted a little strength, and easily pulled his arm out of Mo Weiyi’s grasp, then turned and left.

His swift departure left Mo Weiyi pouting.

Mo Yaoxiong glanced at the time, about to get up…

“Dad.”

Mo Yaoxiong looked up.

Mo Weiyi, looking at him, challenged, “Do you not want me to marry Xiaobai?”

Mo Yaoxiong with a bewildered face, said, “What are you talking about now?”

Mo Weiyi huffed, “Regardless, even if you don’t hope for it, there’s nothing you can do. I’m taking my college entrance exam tomorrow, and once I get into Nancheng University, Xiaobai will marry me. Just in time for my birthday party, I will announce our marriage to everyone! Then, neither you nor Grandpa, nor anyone, can stop us!”

Mo Yaoxiong asked, “You’re that confident you can get into Nancheng University?”

“Of course.” Mo Weiyi pointed to her eyes, “I’ve worked so hard this year, especially this last month, getting up early and staying up late, I even got dark circles… How could I possibly not get in?”

This was the first time in her life she had worked so hard, and she had dedicated over eight months to it…

And it was all for Xiaobai!

Tomorrow, she was determined to succeed!

She believed she absolutely could!

Mo Yaoxiong nodded, “It’s good that you’re confident.”

Although he did not believe she could really make it.

He knew his daughter best. From childhood, she had never been particularly intelligent, nor did she possess the talent for academics or the perseverance to handle hardship.

Although in recent months, Mo Weiyi had indeed seemed quite serious, he even sought several renowned teachers from Nancheng City to help her, hoping… that once the college entrance exams were over, the results wouldn’t be too bad, at least she could get into a real university on her own merits, so the Mo Family wouldn’t lose too much face…

“Dad.” Mo Weiyi’s eyes shimmered, “Where did Xiaobai go?”

Mo Yaoxiong snapped back to reality, “Oh, he’s out for a business dinner.”

“Why is he attending dinners every day? Dad, can’t you help him out somehow? Every time Xiaobai returns from those dinners, it’s really late, and he’s so drunk that he’s unconscious. Over time, it’s bad for his health…”

After listening quietly, Mo Yaoxiong asked, “You’ve seen him like that?”

Mo Weiyi did not deny, “He lives right below me; of course, I’ve seen.”

Even though it was only once…

But one could imagine, Xiaobai’s daily business dinners were nothing but drinking and negotiating.

Being a newcomer in the company and so young, he was likely being taken advantage of and coerced into drinking by all those seasoned players in the business world…

Pitiful!

Thinking about it, Mo Weiyi said, “What was Xiaobai working on just now? Shall I talk to Grandpa? You know, as the chairman, if Grandpa agrees, those uncles and aunts will surely agree as well…”

“These are not your concerns.” Mo Yaoxiong interrupted, “Go upstairs and do your homework.”

“I have the college entrance exam tomorrow, what homework is there? Besides, after the exam, I’m going to marry Xiaobai and then he’ll be my husband. Since we’ll be family, of course, as his wife, I should care about his career…”

The young girl spoke earnestly, and Mo Yaoxiong couldn’t help but laugh, “We can talk about that after your exams.”

Mo Weiyi cocked her head and thought for a moment, “That’s true.”

At the moment, her status wasn’t proper, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to approach Grandpa. Just like every time before, it would ultimately lead to Grandpa’s dissatisfaction with Xiaobai.

So she would endure for a few more days…

In the meantime, Xiaobai would have to suffer just a bit longer…
