Chapter 1053: Mo Family Princess’s Marriage [End]

So, in this old mansion of the Mo Family, there was only him, Xiao Yebai, who never showed even the slightest change in attitude because of Mo Weiyi’s special treatment.

To all the other servants and bodyguards, such behavior from Xiao Yebai…

Was simply ingratitude!

Being favored by the Little Princess of the Mo Family was something many people longed for in their dreams.

Yet, not only did he not show any appreciation, he even appeared so indifferent…

Because of this, he was ostracized by everyone, and even deliberately tormented behind his back.

Yet, this only made Mo Weiyi care for him even more…

Latter on, Mo Weiyi even got the Old Master’s permission to let him move into the gorgeous and beautiful Princess Castle, and he went from being a mere servant of the Mo Family to suddenly transform his status, becoming the formally adopted son of Mo Yaoxiong.

The benefits became evident immediately.

He was quickly enrolled in the best high school in Nancheng, to continue his unfinished high school education. Mo Yaoxiong also hired the city’s best one-on-one English tutor for him, preparing him for his future studies in a research institution in M Country…

From that moment on, his life’s trajectory began to change.

From a parentless orphan in Tong Village who almost got tricked away by human traffickers, he transformed into the distinguished, brilliant, and privileged Young Master Xiao of the Mo Family in Nancheng.

Young Master Xiao…

All the servants in the Mo Family’s old mansion began to call him by this name.

Although initially uncomfortable with the title, he gradually grew accustomed to it, to the point where…

He could now accept the servants’ respect and service with a natural indifference, as if it were the most expected thing in the world.

Only at certain times…

Like a few hours earlier this evening.

Whenever he caused even the slightest unhappiness to the Little Princess of the Mo Family, the Old Master would instantly let him know with his attitude that everything he owned…

Was nothing but an accessory brought about by Mo Weiyi’s affection for him!

And should Mo Weiyi ever stop liking him, Xiao Yebai was absolutely certain the Old Master would do as he said without a blink, casting him out of the Mo Family and making him lose everything…

The night sky vast and murky.

In the midst of the pouring rain, Xiao Yebai drove quietly, his eyes hidden behind his glasses slightly narrowed, as tranquil as the deep sea, yet seemingly harboring the most insidious surging undercurrents.

**

Past 10 at night, the car slowly drove into the Mo Family’s old mansion.

Having received the message, the other searching vehicles had already returned to their places.

From afar, under the lights in the garage, several servants holding umbrellas could be seen waiting.

Mo Yaoxiong instructed, “When you get inside later, Yiyi, you must explain everything to Grandpa, do you hear?”

Mo Weiyi kept her head down, not answering.

Her fine white fingers clung tightly to a towel, her hair still damp and water dripping from her body, creating a splash…

Plus, her silent and bowed head gave off an utterly dejected vibe.

Mo Yaoxiong shook his head.

This daughter…

He had truly spoiled her rotten!

As the car stopped, Aunt Zhou, the first to hold an umbrella, rushed over, “Princess…”

The car door opened.

Seeing Mo Weiyi drenched like a drowned rat, Aunt Zhou’s eyes widened in shock, “Oh my, Princess… how did you get soaked like this…”

Mo Weiyi still did not speak, simply allowing herself to be pulled out of the car by her.

A gust of cold wind mingled with the night rain came rushing by.

Mo Weiyi shivered uncontrollably from the cold.

Aunt Zhou’s heart ached terribly, hastily wrapping her with the coat in her hand and holding the umbrella firmly overhead, “Hurry, go inside quickly, or you’ll catch a cold.”

The other servants went to hold umbrellas for Mo Yaoxiong and Xiao Yebai.

In the stormy wind and rain, the group made their way grandly towards the villa.

The old mansion was brightly lit, and several villas had their lights on; the Princess Villa was as bright as day. Approaching it, one could see the Old Master standing there, leaning on his cane under the doorway, with the butler holding an umbrella by his side.

When he saw people coming, the butler spoke up promptly, “Old Master, the Princess is back. You can be at ease now.”

Upon hearing this, the Old Master’s long-frozen face finally softened.

However…

As they got closer and saw his drenched granddaughter…

Despite being wrapped in a thick coat, rainwater still dripped ceaselessly along the hem, her hair thoroughly wet, sticking messily to her face, and her complexion pale as paper…

Not to mention her eyes, which clearly had been crying, now red and swollen, devoid of any sparkle.

The Old Master’s cane “thudded” against the floor.

This was a sign he was about to get angry…

The butler dared not speak.

Finally, the group approached, and Mo Yaoxiong spoke first, “Dad, Yiyi has been found. She’s wet from the rain and has chilled to the bone. Let her take a hot bath before we discuss anything else.”

The Old Master’s eyes filled with pity, “Quick, take Yiyi upstairs.”

Aunt Zhou promptly assisted Mo Weiyi inside.

As they entered the living room and just set down the umbrellas…

“Grandpa.”

Mo Weiyi suddenly spoke.

Her voice was clearly trembling, also somewhat hoarse.

Hearing her sound like that, all of the Old Master’s anger dissipated.

“Grandpa is here.”

The butler hastened to help him forward.

“Yiyi, don’t worry. Whoever upset you tonight, your grandpa will not let them off!” the Old Master promised.

Who knew that Mo Weiyi would shake her head, “Grandpa, I don’t want to marry Chu Xiuhuang.”

Hearing this, a slight shock crossed the Old Master’s face, but he immediately nodded, “Alright, that scoundrel upset you tonight, you don’t have to marry if you don’t want to! Grandpa will find you a better suitor later…”

“I don’t want any!” Mo Weiyi interrupted him.

She clutched at the jacket on her body and slowly lifted her head.

Those usually bright and lively beautiful cat-eyes were now dull and lusterless, pitifully pleading, “Grandpa, may I not get married?”

When had the old Master Mo ever seen his granddaughter in such a state of aggrieved compliance?

“What exactly did that Chu boy do to you?” he gripped his dragon-headed cane and gave a direct order, “Shi Kang, take some men to the Chu Family right now and bring that damned boy to me! He must kneel and apologize! Otherwise, I won’t let him off!”

Butler: “Alright …”

“It has nothing to do with him!” Mo Weiyi blurted out urgently.

But when the old patriarch asked her, “Then tell me, who bullied you?”

Mo Weiyi closed her lips, not speaking anymore, only her eyes began to brim with ceaseless tears.

Old Master Mo couldn’t stand to see his precious granddaughter cry.

In fact, Mo Weiyi hadn’t cried often since she was a child.

Even if she did cry, it was because …

Old Master Mo’s eyes, sharp as an eagle’s, instantly turned toward Xiao Yebai with a piercing gaze, “Is it because of you?”

Mo Yaoxiong’s eyes were tense, looking at the man who had been quiet and silent the whole time, and he hurriedly said, “Dad, let’s talk about these matters tomorrow, let Yiyi go upstairs first …”

“I’m asking you a question, what, are you guilty and don’t dare to answer me?” Old Master Mo’s voice suddenly rose, his eyes shining unabashedly.

If it wasn’t because of Chu Xiuhuang, then the only one who could make his granddaughter feel so wronged …

Must be this white-eyed wolf of the Mo Family!

Ever since he stepped into the Mo Family eight years ago, Mo Weiyi had cried over him …

And later on, there were countless times, all because of his indifference and rudeness toward Weiyi.

Therefore, the old patriarch had never had a good impression of this foster son.

If it weren’t for the fact that Weiyi was always overjoyed to see him, he would have long found an excuse to expel him from the family.

“Dad, you’re overthinking it, Yebai has nothing to do with this.” Mo Yaoxiong stepped forward, “Besides, it was Yebai who found Yiyi just now, if he hadn’t discovered her first …”

“You shut up!”

Mo Yaoxiong: “…”

“Xiao Yebai.” Old Master Mo’s voice was oppressively stern, “Answer my question!”

Xiao Yebai looked at the old man in front of him.

On the way back just now, although servants helped to hold an umbrella, the rain was too heavy; his dark T-shirt was soaked a good deal by the rain, showing a dark and dull black color.

His hair was wet, and the handsome features were also dotted with water, and water droplets were sliding down from his chiseled features.

The lenses were slightly foggy, making his expression somewhat hazy and not very clear.

His silence only made Old Master Mo’s anger rise sharply.

“Good.”

“Very good.”

Old Master Mo repeated several times, taking a deep breath, “Shi Kang, bring the family law …”

“Grandpa, no!” Mo Weiyi rushed forward.

Old Master Mo let out a cold laugh, “So it has to do with him, right?”

“No …” Mo Weiyi bit her lip, struggling for words, “I said it has nothing to do with him … Grandpa, what on earth do you want to do …”

Old Master Mo didn’t want to waste any more words, “Take Yiyi upstairs.”

Given the order, Aunt Zhou hurriedly stepped forward, “Princess, you should come upstairs with me …”

“I don’t want to!” Mo Weiyi refused, “Grandpa, I’ve said it has nothing to do with Xiaobai, you can’t punish him, you can’t …”

Old Master Mo remained unmoved, “Take her upstairs!”

“Princess, please come upstairs with me.” Aunt Zhou pleaded earnestly.

The Little Princess was all damp; even her fingers were icy cold, why wouldn’t she think to care for herself? Besides, the family law was about to be implicated, and the old patriarch only does this in a fury, yet the princess is still thinking of protecting Young Master Xiao …

“It’s my fault.”

A low and cold male voice suddenly rang out.

Aunt Zhou was stunned.

Mo Weiyi was also somewhat shocked, looking at Xiao Yebai, wanting to speak, “No … not that, grandpa, I said it has nothing to do with Xiaobai …”

“It’s all my fault.” Xiao Yebai continued.

He raised his hand, his movements indifferent as he took off the glasses on his nose.

He wiped the fogged lenses and then put them back on.

His handsome and indifferent face maintained the usual aloof expression, but the words that followed left everyone utterly shocked.

He said, “Grandpa, I want to marry Weiyi.”

Mo Weiyi: “!!!”

Her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

What did she hear just now?

Xiaobai, what did he say?

He said …

He said he wanted to marry her?

He said it!

He finally said it!

Finally, he uttered the words she had longed to hear!

Old Master Mo was also taken aback, hardly believing his own ears, “What did you say?”

Everyone was looking at Xiao Yebai.

The room fell silent, you could practically hear a pin drop.

With his signature calm voice, Xiao Yebai spoke again: “I’m saying, I want to marry Weiyi.”

Not only that, but after saying this, he looked toward Mo Weiyi.

In her stunned gaze, he asked straightforwardly, “Do you agree?”

Mo Weiyi was still a bit slow to react.

Because it was so unexpected, so surprising, and so shocking!

It wasn’t until Aunt Zhou sneakily nudged her from behind …

Mo Weiyi suddenly came to her senses.

Gazing at the man who was staring at her unblinkingly, her eyes burned, and her voice trembled uncontrollably, “Agree…”

After swallowing, Mo Weiyi’s voice finally regained some normalcy, “I agree with you! I agree to marry you!”

She was truly so happy.

Joy had descended from the heavens, especially at such an unexpected moment…

Having said that, she quickly turned to look at Grandfather Mo, “Grandpa, I want to marry Xiaobai!”

Grandfather Mo felt a buzzing pain in his head.

Before he could speak…

“Grandpa!” Mo Weiyi stepped forward and declared, “Actually, Xiaobai and I have already turned raw rice into cooked rice over a month ago, so it would be best if you agree, but if you don’t…”

She clenched her teeth, “I’ll elope with Xiaobai and get married!”

Xiao Yebai: “……”

Grandfather Mo, on the other hand, clutched his chest, looking as if he had been struck a heavy blow.

The butler hurriedly came forward in fear, “Old Master! Princess, the Old Master’s health isn’t good, please don’t stimulate him anymore…”

Mo Yaoxiong also said, “Yiyi, Grandpa has high blood pressure and heart disease, can you talk things out properly?”

Knowing full well that the person Grandfather cherished the most was his only granddaughter, whom he had pampered and raised as the apple of his eye since she was little, she now went behind his back and did such outrageous things with a man…

Especially with Xiao Yebai, the man he liked the least…

Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, “Either way, I want to marry Xiaobai! Other than Xiaobai, I won’t marry anyone…”

“You’re causing trouble!” Grandfather Mo sternly interrupted, shaking as he pointed outside, “Now, everyone in Nancheng knows that my granddaughter is going to marry the Chu Family’s son, the wedding date has been set, the venue chosen, even the invitations… they were printed today, and now you suddenly retract, how do you expect the Chu Family to view me? How do you expect others to see the Mo Family?”

“What others think is their business, not mine!” Mo Weiyi persisted with her disregard for consequences.

“You…”

“Grandpa, please just agree with me…” Mo Weiyi pleaded, unable to refrain from glancing at Xiao Yebai.

The man’s face was still that cold, unfeeling facade.

His tall, upright figure also remained motionless.

Truth be told, this Xiao Yebai…

She really feared he would suddenly have a change of heart!

“Grandpa, just changing the groom to Xiaobai at the wedding would be fine, anyway all the wedding dresses and formalwear, all of that was chosen by him, I did it on purpose…” Mo Weiyi clung to her grandfather’s arm, almost crying in urgency, “Grandpa, you knew it from the start, Xiaobai said as long as I got into Nancheng University, he would marry me, now he’s finally agreed, if you go back on your word, you should have disagreed from the beginning…”

Grandfather Mo was speechless, “Everything has already been settled with the Chu Family, and now you…”

“I said it! I never wanted to marry Chu Xiuhuang!” Mo Weiyi exclaimed with a shocking revelation, “And Chu Xiuhuang doesn’t like me either, today when trying on the wedding dress, he left by himself in the afternoon, deliberately not accompanying me, he said himself that he wanted to call off the wedding, we were just using each other from the start…”

“Is that true?” Grandfather Mo fumed, “I just asked you whether it was that Chu boy who bullied you, and you did not say anything, it turns out…”

“It doesn’t matter anymore!” Mo Weiyi insisted, pulling on him, “Anyway, we don’t like each other, and we definitely won’t be happy married, I want to marry Xiaobai, I like him, I love him! Dad, please help me persuade Grandpa!”

Mo Yaoxiong’s eyelids twitched furiously.

He would never have imagined that tonight’s events would unfold to this point…

Having already given up hope on this matter, he had been wholeheartedly preparing for his daughter’s wedding recently, but who knew…

“Dad…” Mo Weiyi looked at him, her eyes brimming with tears, “Haven’t you always wanted me to marry Xiaobai? You can’t refuse to help me now!”

Mo Yaoxiong coughed softly, only able to step forward, “Dad, since the two kids have feelings for each other, and…since they have already been intimate, I think…why not just let them be together?”

The old master of the Mo Family glared at him fiercely, “Did you know about this all along?”

Mo Yaoxiong felt wronged, “I only found out just now…”

“Humph,” the old master of the Mo Family snorted coldly, “With so many bodyguards and servants at home, and under your watch, such a thing still happened! It seems you all don’t want your jobs, do you!”

Zhou Auntie hung her head guiltily.

The living room fell deathly silent.

“Grandpa, be angry at me if you want, it has nothing to do with them! It was my decision not to tell anyone!” Mo Weiyi’s fair face was resolute, “It’s indeed my fault! Because that night, it was me who took the initiative, I was the one who seduced Xiaobai, that’s why he couldn’t resist and went to bed with me…”

“Shut your mouth!” the old master of the Mo Family interrupted, his face red with embarrassment.

Mo Weiyi pursed her lips.

She didn’t feel there was anything to be ashamed of and continued, “Anyway, I’m putting my foot down, I want to marry Xiaobai, and I won’t accept anyone else but Xiaobai… Achoo!”

The old master of the Mo Family’s mouth twitched nonstop, and his temples throbbed violently.

“Alright, Grandfather, you know everything now, Yiyi, go upstairs and take a hot shower, don’t catch a cold or get a fever,” Mo Yaoxiong hurriedly interjected.

Mo Weiyi stood there, pondering for a moment, “Grandpa, the wedding is in 10 days, you can’t punish Xiaobai, otherwise just wait for me to elope with him and leave your wedding with a gaping hole!”

Having dropped this harsh ultimatum, she turned and followed the servants upstairs.

As the sound of her footsteps gradually faded, the large living room was left in silence, with the servants and bodyguards standing solemnly on either side, none daring to speak.

The old master of the Mo Family leaned on his cane, his face darkened with age, his eyes fixed intently on Xiao Yebai’s face.

He could never have anticipated, despite all his vigilance, that this adopted son… would actually dare to have that kind of relationship with Yiyi!

And to do it behind his back…

Bypassing all the servants of the old mansion!

Rage, reluctance, and a sense of betrayal, a complex and turbulent mix, stirred relentlessly in his heart.

Time passed, but for how long, he didn’t know…

“Shi Kang, take everyone out,” the old master of the Mo Family ordered in a deep voice.

“Yes, Old Master,” he replied.

All the servants and bodyguards were quickly dispersed.

Then…

“Yaoxiong, you go back first as well,” he said.

Mo Yaoxiong hesitated.

After glancing at Xiao Yebai, he nodded, “Dad, it’s getting late, after you finish talking… you should rest early as well.”

The old master of the Mo Family said nothing.

…

After Mo Yaoxiong left, only two people remained in the vast living room.

The old master of the Mo Family looked at the stern and upright young man in front of him, and finally spoke, “I want you to promise me three things.”

Xiao Yebai’s expression did not change, even upon hearing these words… It was clear that the old man had started to relent.

He spoke in a low voice, “You say.”

**

Second floor.

After taking a hot bath, Mo Weiyi, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, came out, and Aunt Zhou hurriedly presented her with steaming ginger soup.

“Princess, quickly drink this bowl of ginger soup, so you won’t catch a cold…”

“Aunt Zhou, how are things downstairs?” Mo Weiyi took the ginger soup, looking worriedly at her.

“Just now the old master had a couple of words alone with Young Master Xiao, and now everyone downstairs has dispersed…” Aunt Zhou said with a smile as she took the hairdryer, “Princess, the old master cherishes you so much, rest assured, he definitely has agreed.”

This was, of course, within Mo Weiyi’s expectations.

Grandfather treasured her the most; whatever she wanted to do, even if he was angry, he would ultimately concede.

Mo Weiyi smiled, already somewhat impatient.

After gulping down several mouthfuls of ginger soup, she immediately stood up, “There, I’ve finished the ginger soup; I’m going downstairs to find Xiaobai now.”

“Princess, your hair is still wet…”

Aunt Zhou called out.

But the young lady, wearing slippers, ran exceptionally fast, quickly flinging open the door and running downstairs, heading straight for someone’s room.

…

First floor.

Reaching Xiao Yebai’s door, Mo Weiyi stopped, panting.

Thinking of the sentence Xiao Yebai just said in public… “I want to marry the princess.”

Mo Weiyi: “Pfft–”

She covered her little mouth, trying hard to hold back.

But the happiness in her heart was irrepressible.

Xiaobai finally said it!

She knew it; how could Xiaobai possibly not like her? The coldness from before must have been an act, right? After pretending for so long, he couldn’t hold back tonight when he saw me getting rained on! Did it tug at his heartstrings? Couldn’t help it, could he? If she had known this would soften Xiaobai’s heart and get his agreement, she would have used this ploy days ago. She wouldn’t have had so many depressing days…

After some psychological bolstering, Mo Weiyi sweetly smiled.

Thank goodness it’s all clear skies after the rain now.

Xiaobai is finally going to marry me, and he’ll be my boyfriend…

No, that’s not right!

He will be my husband!

She raised her little hand and gently knocked on the door.

Waiting until she heard the man’s low and pleasant voice from inside, “Come in.”

Mo Weiyi, grasping the doorknob, swiftly pushed open the door and entered.

The room was lit, and Xiao Yebai was sitting on the sofa.

“What are you doing, Xiaobai?” Mo Weiyi asked, her voice was sweet and her eyes full of tender affection, nearly dripping with tenderness…

Xiao Yebai casually glanced at her while setting aside the book in his hand, “Reading for a bit.”

Still reading at this hour! Mo Weiyi felt a tinge of displeasure but didn’t dwell on it much and said “Oh” before closing the door, pinched the hem of her pajamas, coughed twice, and walked towards him with coy steps.

As she approached the front of the sofa, she looked at the man under the light, with glasses making him look especially refined and handsome…

“Xiaobai, you just said…” she swallowed, “you said you want to marry me, is that true?”

Xiao Yebai’s gaze was calm, “Mm.”

Mo Weiyi had to suppress a laugh again.

Although she also knew that Xiaobai would do whatever he promised…

And just now, in front of Grandfather Mo, he was the one who suggested it…

She tried to hold back, “So, in your heart… you have me in there too, right? You like me too, don’t you?”

Xiao Yebai looked at her, still with that casual demeanor, and hearing her question, he just slightly curled his lips and counter-asked, “What do you think?”

The man was already extraordinarily handsome, and at this moment, with that teasing smile and tone…

It was as flirtatious as something one would say in the midst of lover’s banter…

Mo Weiyi’s heart bubbled with pink joy, and she finally couldn’t help herself. She sat down beside him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Leaning in close.

Nuzzling her face against him.

She closed her eyes happily, inhaling the clean, fragrant scent of the man, cooing sweetly and gently, “I just knew you liked me, or else the other night you wouldn’t have…”

She paused, taking several seconds before spitting out two words: “Tease!”

Xiao Yebai remained silent.

The room quieted down.

After a while, he slightly lowered his head.

With her eyes closed, Mo Weiyi’s lips sweetly curved upwards, her dainty cheeks were flushed and clear, showcasing the charming naivety and innocence of a young girl.

As she had just bathed, she wore her pajamas, and her hair was not completely dry yet, quickly dampening his body and feeling somewhat cool.

Xiao Yebai subconsciously raised his hand…

In the next second.

Mo Weiyi directly pulled his arm around her shoulders and giggled, “Xiaobai, will you come with me to try on wedding dresses again tomorrow?”

Xiao Yebai’s handsome face showed little expression, “What about the Chu Family…”

“You don’t have to worry!” Mo Weiyi, fearing he might have concerns, said, “Grandfather and father will handle these matters; Grandfather Chu has a good relationship with our family, he probably won’t be angry, and Chu Xiuhuang most certainly won’t be mad.”

Xiao Yebai did not speak again.

Mo Weiyi lifted her face, eyes curving into a smile, shining brightly and sweetly.

Staring at the increasingly distinguished features of the man under the light, she blurted out, “Xiaobai, I love you!”

After confessing, she seemed a bit embarrassed, lowering her head and burying her flushed face in his chest, letting out a burst of shy laughter.

Xiao Yebai still looked unflappable, but after hearing the confession, he faintly responded, “Mm.”

Let it be so.
