Chapter 709: 709, is Xiaobai jealous?

“Watching a movie?”

“Yeah, it hasn’t started yet.”

Xiao Yebai asked, “When does it end?”

“Three hours later.”

“Call me when it’s over, I will come and pick you up.”

“Really?” Mo Weiyi’s eyes brightened.

Was Xiaobai actually going to pick her up?

“Um.” Xiao Yebai responded indifferently, “You watch it, I’ll continue working.”

“Okay, I love you.”

Xiao Yebai: “…”

Mo Weiyi was overjoyed. After hanging up, she grinned and said, “Xiaobai said he’s going to pick me up later. Rong An must have talked to him, he’s worried about me.”

Before Su Wanwan could reply, the sounds of incoming calls and messages began once again.

One after another, nonstop.

“Maybe I should turn off the phone.” Mo Weiyi admitted, lowering her head and turning off the device before she could tease any further.

It was really scary!

Was live streaming this popular now?

Finally, after checking tickets, they entered the theater and took their seats.

The lights dimmed, and the movie officially started.

“Wanwan, can you help me, please.”

“Sure.” Su Wanwan took the bottle of mineral water, vigorously twisted off the cap, and then handed it back to Mo Weiyi.

The whole process was done smoothly and naturally.

Just as Mo Weiyi took a sip of water, a man’s voice sounded next to her.

“Excuse me, is this seat taken?”

“Excuse me, is this seat taken?”

Mo Weiyi looked up, “No.”

The man had a short haircut and was dressed in black. Due to the dim lighting in the theater, his appearance was hard to make out.

Mo Weiyi didn’t think much of it.

They bought their tickets late so their seats were slightly toward the back. Additionally, the seats located near the edges were vacant because of their poor visibility of the screen. The rest of the auditorium was almost full.

After saying that, Mo Weiyi turned her attention back to the movie and the man sat down next to her.

The movie lasted three hours, filled with thrilling plot twists and dramatic scenes that kept the audience on the edge of their seats.

Mo Weiyi and Su Wanwan chatted, snacked, and drank while watching the movie.

When it finally ended, Su Wanwan stretched, “Should we just head home?”

Mo Weiyi immediately nodded, “Sure.”

Initially, they planned on grabbing some afternoon tea, but it was already four o’clock when they finished watching the movie. Sitting for over three hours had made them somewhat tired and achy.

As they stood up to leave, the man sitting inside also got up.

There were too many people waiting for the lift, so they decided to take the escalator down instead, floor by floor.

They browsed the mall on each floor, whenever they spotted a pretty dress they would go in and check it out.

She had already messaged Xiao Yebai, it would take at least half an hour for him to drive over from the Mo residence. They might as well go shopping while they waited.

Lingering and shopping along the way, Mo Weiyi and Su Wanwan were completely unaware that a man was discreetly following them.

Upon reaching the underground parking lot, Mo Weiyi checked the time and said, “Xiaobai will be here soon, Wanwan. You can go.”

“I’d rather wait with you.” Su Wanwan insisted.

“No need.”

Just as she finished speaking, she saw a black Bentley approaching from the other side, “Look, he is here.”

After glancing at the car, Su Wanwan conceded, “Alright, I’ll head off then.”

“Goodbye.”

Su Wanwan quickly got into her car and drove off, the black Bentley also drove up. However, it wasn’t Xiao Yebai’s car, despite being the same model.

Mo Weiyi took out her phone to continue texting.

[Where are you, Xiaobai?]

Xiao Yebai replied with a few words, [10 minutes.]

[Okay.]

Just as Mo Weiyi finished sending the message, she decided to check her WeChat Moments.

While eating hotpot at lunchtime, she had taken some pictures and posted them on Moments. She had turned off her phone while watching the movie, so there were already quite a few likes and comments by now, though they were all from people she didn’t personally know.

But when she saw a picture of a cake Lu Chenyu had just posted…

Mo Weiyi pursed her lips in annoyance.

What kind of master was this!

He didn’t even like her Moments posts, did he?

Since they added each other on WeChat, every time he posted a news link she would always like it!

Ever heard of reciprocation?

Well, forget it.

If she ever liked another post of his, she was a pig!

Just as Mo Weiyi was engrossed in her phone, a car’s headlights suddenly illuminated in front of her.

The light was blinding. She squinted instinctively.

She lifted her hand to shield her eyes, but before she could react, a white sedan was hurtling towards her.

The shrill screeching of tires echoed around them, and the car’s bright headlights bore straight into her eyes.

Her mind went blank. Mo Weiyi stood rooted to the spot, her pupils expanding in surprise as the car hurtled closer.

Just when disaster was about to strike, someone pulled her arm with a forceful tug.

Due to the sudden shift in gravity, she fell harshly to the ground.

At the same time, with a “whoosh” the white sedan sped past her and drove away from the parking lot.

“Miss, are you okay?” A deep male voice asked.

Mo Weiyi was still in shock, her heart racing, and she could feel cold sweat dripping down her back.

“Miss? Miss?”

A big hand waved in front of her for a few moments.

Mo Weiyi finally regained her senses, her face still pallid. She was clearly frightened.

“You must be scared. Are you hurt?” The man asked again.

Mo Weiyi shook her head and attempted to rise, but a sharp pain shot through her ankle.

“Shi!”

“Be careful!” The man steadied her shoulders.

A strange male scent filled her nose, mingling with the aroma of a man’s perfume.

It was not unpleasant.

But it made Mo Weiyi uncomfortable.

She moved back, bearing the pain in her ankle, “I’m alright.”

The man continued to support her shoulder, “Did you twist your ankle?”

He immediately apologized, “I am sorry, there was a sudden incident just now, it was only to save you.”

Hearing this, Mo Weiyi could only give thanks, “Thank you.”

“No need to thank me; it’s fortunate you’re alright.”

Mo Weiyi looked at him and suddenly asked, “Have I seen you somewhere before?”

The man had a cropped haircut, wore a simple black and white suit, his eyes were slim and his features were thin. He looked vaguely familiar.

The man smiled and said, “Maybe I just have a common face.”

“No,” Mo Weiyi insisted, trying to remember, “I’ve definitely seen you before.”

But she just couldn’t remember where.

“That’s why I said I have a common face. We’ve seen each other several times, but you still don’t remember me.”

Mo Weiyi was taken aback, “Have we really met before?”

“I tried to add you on WeChat and you told me I was too old-fashioned. Remember now?”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

“Later, your bodyguard smashed my phone.”

Mo Weiyi suddenly realized, “I remember now.”

It was the man she had met in the restaurant. No wonder he looked familiar.

“What are you doing here?”

The man raised an eyebrow and explained, “I had plans to watch a movie with friends and just happened to see you here. I was actually on my way to greet you, but ended up saving the damsel in distress instead.”

Mo Weiyi nodded, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, but you seem to have twisted your ankle. Do you want me to take you to the hospital?” As he spoke, he held her a bit tighter.

Only then did Mo Weiyi realize that he was still supporting her, one hand on her shoulder, the other holding her right arm.

Truth be told, their proximity was quite intimate.

She quickly said, “No need, I…”

Without thinking, she tried to take a step back, only to twist her left ankle again.

The pain made her turn pale immediately.

At the same time, she felt an unusual current in the air next to her.

Her left arm was firmly grasped, and then she was pulled into a familiar embrace.

The hold was very tight.

Mo Weiyi could almost feel the pain around her waist.

But that familiar scent comforted her, and her voice instantly softened, “Xiaobai, you’re here.”

Xiao Yebai was hugging her waist, looked down at her and then turned to the man.

His gaze was icy, sending a chilling message that made one feel fearful.

The man hurriedly let go of his hold, apologizing with a smile, “I’m sorry, the lady was nearly hit by a car just now. I only helped her out.”

“Xiaobai.” Mo Weiyi clung to Xiao Yebai’s arm, lamenting, “I was scared to death. I was almost hit by a car just now. He rescued me…”

She pouted, looking pitiful.

Xiao Yebai frowned, “Were you injured?”

“Yes, I twisted my ankle.”

Xiao Yebai began to inspect her body, “Any other injuries?”

“No.” As Mo Weiyi looked at his handsome face and obvious concern, she felt a warmth in her heart.

“Did you see the car’s number plate?”

Mo Weiyi shook her head, “I was too scared. I didn’t have the presence of mind to look at the number plate.”

Xiao Yebai blinked, “Weren’t you with Miss Su? Where is she now?”

Speaking of which, Mo Weiyi felt more guilty, “I thought you were here already, so I let Wanwan go home first.”

“So she left you alone here?”

“I told her to go, it’s not her fault.” Mo Weiyi quickly vouched for her friend, “But could you look into who that car belonged to? I’m angry! I was almost hit by that car!”

Almost hit?

Xiao Yebai didn’t respond immediately, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

…

The man had a mild air about him in his glasses with his dark shirt, trousers, and meticulously tied tie. Although he presented as a gentleman, he could not hide his inherent coldness.

The woman, held firmly in his arms, was wearing a bright yellow, soft dress that contrasted with his indifference. But the trust and love clearly reflected in her eyes towards him brought an undefined sense of harmony to them.

The man glanced at them and then spoke, “Since your friend is here, I will be on my way.”

Mo Weiyi quickly said, “Thank you for your help just now.”

However…

“Please wait a moment.”

Mo Weiyi was surprised.

As was the man who turned towards Xiao Yebai.

Xiao Yebai spoke calmly, “You mentioned earlier that you saved my wife?”

“It was the least I could do.”

“Despite being the least you could do, as a husband, I still need to express my gratitude to you,” Xiao Yebai’s tone remained cool while thanking him, “Would you mind leaving me your contact information?”

The man looked at him, an elegant smirk on his lips that was provocative, “Your wife is very beautiful. I guess anyone would step up to help her.”

Having finished his sentence, he turned around, “I should get going. My friend must be anxiously waiting for me.”

Xiao Yebai watched the man as he walked away, his dark eyes narrowing slightly behind his glasses.

Mo Weiyi, meanwhile, was carefully watching him.

Uhh, was Xiaobai jealous?

Surely not?

He was just a stranger.

Before she could think more deeply, she felt a tightening around her waist as Xiao Yebai lifted her into his arms.

Mo Weiyi quickly raised her hands to wrap around his neck.

Inhaling his familiar scent and being close enough to see his clean complexion and pursed lips,

“Xiaobai, I swear there’s nothing between him and me, don’t misunderstand,” came her immediate clarification.

Xiao Yebai looked down at her, “Mm.”

Mo Weiyi looked at his handsome, sensual face, her lips curling into a small smile.

…

After getting into the car, Xiao Yebai leaned over to fasten her seat belt, “Wait here for me.”

“Okay.” Mo Weiyi obediently agreed.

Sitting in the passenger seat, she watched him make a phone call outside the car.

Soon, two men who looked like security guards approached.

Xiao Yebai spoke to them for a moment before picking up his cellphone again.

Then Mo Weiyi’s phone rang.

“Xiaobai.”

“Wait for me in the car. I have to go to the security office.”

“Okay.”

With a sprained ankle, all Mo Weiyi could do was sit in the car and wait.

She looked down at her foot. Because she had been wearing high heels, she had sprained her left ankle quite badly, the area around it was already red and swollen.

Even a slight movement caused her intense pain.

Mo Weiyi scrunched her face, troubled. Was she going to have to take time off work again?

She groaned inwardly. Taking time off every few days made her feel guilty, especially considering Lu Chenyu’s expressionless face and sarcastic remarks…

Mo Weiyi was exasperated.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Her phone rang again. On checking, it was a call from Lu Chenyu.
