Ye Wei returned to the room, got changed, and freshened up before going to sleep. Mo Jue’s purple eyes were focused on her. He made no effort to hide his doubts and was waiting for Ye Wei to ask him about it. When she did, he would then go with the flow and float his doubts. Mo Jue prepared all his questions but did not expect Ye Wei to be so stoic, treating him as though he was not there. She had her medicine and went to bed just like that.
Mo Jue could not help but roll around before asking, “Wei Wei, are you not telling me something?”
“No! Is there something about me that you don’t know? I’m afraid that you’ve even looked up the age when I first wetted my bed!” Ye Wei smiled gorgeously and patted his face. “Be good and go to sleep, okay?”
“No! You are definitely hiding something from me. What kind of mime were you playing with Beauty Mom? Is Beauty Mom’s twin sister your master?” Mo Jue lay down and looked at her steely.
Ye Wei rolled her eyes at him and said, “I just recognized the wrong person. Why are you just as stubborn as she is?”
“I don’t buy that!”
“Boss, I am not expecting you to buy that, okay? Is believing or not any of my concern? Sleep time, sleep time! I am sleepy!” Ye Wei deliberately yawned to show how sleepy she was.
Mo Jue’s gaze was much more solemn. He stared at Ye Wei intensely and said, “Wei Wei, you were clearly lying. Beauty Mom hasn’t known you for long, and neither does she know of you fidgeting. Don’t you realize that you subconsciously fidget whenever you lie?”
Ye Wei was at a loss for words.
What kind of small actions was she unaware of? F***!
“Gorgeous Mo Jue, are you watching me 24/7? You’re so twisted that I’m utterly terrified!” Ye Wei acted as though she were about to scream. F*** that Beauty Mom! How could he know what she didn’t know?
“That’s because I care about all your emotions.”
“Dear, please do not care about me so intensely as it’s so pressurizing for me. It seems like I’ll need to look as stoic as Eleven so that you won’t see anything.” Ye Wei pouted. How could anyone study someone to such a level where everything had some sort of significance to it? That was nothing short of twisted.
“Wei Wei, you can tell me. I promise I will not tell Beauty Mom anything.” Mo Jue cajoled her as he was really curious.
If he did not raise it, Ye Wei would not feel angry. Once he mentioned this, Ye Wei broke into a false smile and said, “I was asking you whether you wanted a sister-in-law or wife earlier, yet you shirked the question by going to the toilet. So let me tell you now, fat hope!”
“I…”
“Don’t explain. I am more interested in the outcome rather than the process. Whatever you have done stays, and I can’t be bothered with how you feel. Therefore, please do not expect me to tell you any secrets. If you had decisively said that you wanted a wife earlier, I would have told you, but… Anyway, go to sleep!” Ye Wei laughed when she saw Mo Jue’s face became even glummer.
“Wei Wei…”
“What Wei Wei, seriously! You’re getting really noisy, so stop calling my name or get off my bed and sleep on the floor,” Ye Wei said as she coldly stared at Mo Jue. Mo Jue stared back at her while gritting his teeth.
…
On the other side, Eleven returned to her room and called Mo Ye. The first call was not picked up. She called again in ten minutes, and he picked up the call.
“Mo Ye, do you know that your mother is in Riyadh?” Eleven lay prone on the bed, reading a magazine while talking to Mo Ye over the phone. She was planning to coax him into coming over.
Mo Ye’s deep laughter came from the cell phone. “Little Jue just called, and Su Man left a message. How could I not know…”
“Su Man left you a message?” Eleven was a little taken aback as she murmured. “What did he say?”
“He wants me to return to acknowledge my heritage!”
Eleven was speechless.
F***! She originally thought Su Man would suggest visiting one’s grave! Eleven gently laughed as she flipped the page of the magazine. “So, are you coming over? Honestly, you acknowledging your heritage is quite shocking to me,” she smiled and said.
“I am allowing my emotions to settle,” Mo Ye plainly said. Mo Jue called him first to tell him that Beauty Mom was at Su Man’s place in Riyadh, and he felt weird as to why Beauty Mom would have gone there.
Mo Jue’s next statement shocked him. He said, “Bro, we have to call Su Man uncle.”
He almost dropped his phone. Anybody who didn’t have a strong heart would certainly have a heart attack. Thankfully, he was all-along healthy. Otherwise, that would have shocked him silly. When he was checking in on Mo Jue’s condition in detail, the system reminded him that he had a new message. The message, at a glance, was from Su Man.
Mo Ye felt his eyes twitch. He did not know how to respond to it.
“It’s actually pretty good. You’re part of the family after all.” Eleven smiled with some anticipation. “Do come over. It’s been a long time since Mo Jue and you reunited with your mother. Chances are you miss that gathering really much too. She will be here for a while as well.”
“Wherever my mother is, she won’t remain for long. I’m guessing that she will leave when I go over,” Mo Ye said.
“No!” Eleven immediately replied to him. She slowly said, “Absolutely not.”
“How do you know?”
“I just know it, okay? For all you know, she may just reside here. Your mother has gotten into a contest with Wei Wei, and they are trying to out-compete each other as we speak,” Eleven smiled and said. “Come over for the spectacle. It will be very fun.”
“Eleven, I’ve realized that you spending even a short time with Ye Wei makes you evil.” His innocent Eleven.
“Is it?” Eleven maintained her cool style. “Aren’t I just telling you the truth?”
“Have you had fun these few days?” Mo Ye smiled as he asked. He could not hide his adoration and doting of her in his tone.
Eleven nodded and said, “Mo Ye, Mo Jue used to be able to play mahjong, right?”
“No. What’s up?”
“He is so scheming! Wei Wei and I taught him mahjong, and he won all of our money in no time. How dare he disrespect his master!” Eleven accused him in a cold tone. Her heart still ached at the tens of thousands she had lost.
Mo Ye broke into hearty laughter. This lass was so adorable…
“What are you laughing about?”
“Nothing! You two are foolish enough to allow a greenhorn to win all your money?”
“He’s just too terrifying. Chances are he’s laid a spell on us.”
“All of you must have been in cahoots and fleeced him.”
“No!” Eleven seriously replied. She thought and said, “Do you know how to play mahjong?”
“I don’t!”
Eleven pondered. “Wei Wei said that men who don’t know how to play mahjong are not real men, so learn how to play mahjong well before you come over.”
Mo Ye was rendered speechless.
