Her body shivered, shaking with rage: “You… are you insane?!”
“Am I insane?” Huo Jingshen’s voice was low, but firm.
Su Wanwan felt suddenly petrified by his intense gaze, “I…I didn’t do it on purpose. Who knew you…”
Meaning, it’s all your fault!
“Oh?”
Huo Jingshen lifted his attractive lips.
In the dim light, his handsome profile appeared somewhat wickedly charming: “Then, tell me who I should blame?”
Su Wanwan’s face paled. She felt as if her perceptions were about to shatter.
Why on earth was she discussing this topic on the balcony with him?
“Aaaargh! I want a divorce!” Su Wanwan screamed in desperation.
What kind of man had she married?
She! Wanted! A! Divorce!

Lishui Bay Villa.
After Mo Weiyi had finished taking a shower, he opened his newly delivered phone and the first thing he did was add Huo Jingshen on WeChat.
But he didn’t get a response for a long time.
With no other option, he ended up calling Su Wanwan.
The call got through quickly.
Mo Weiyi leaned back, comfortably reclining on his sofa, “Baby Wanwan, what are you doing?”
“I’m busy”. Su Wanwan panted slightly, “Gotta hang up now, we’ll talk later.”
Mo Weiyi blinked his clear cat-like eyes. Considering how Huo Jingshen’s WeChat hadn’t responded for a while now, could it be possible that…?
“Holy crap, are you doing ‘naughty things’ with Mr. Huo right now?”
“Cough cough! Cough!” Su Wanwan choked out, “Are you nuts? I’m looking for something in the garage! Can you stop with the nonsense?”
“Garage, huh?” Mo Weiyi crooked his face, making a startling statement, “So you can do it in the garage too?”
This location…
Hmm, she and Xiaobai haven’t tried that yet!
“Mo Xiaose! Can you be serious?” Su Wanwan explained incredulously, “My cousin said she lost a red earring in the car, she called several times insisting that I find it. I’ve turned over the entire garage now and can’t find anything. I’m about to die from the heat…”
“Wait. You’re saying Qiao Zixin lost her earring in Mr. Huo’s car?” Mo Weiyi interrupted her abruptly.
“Yes.”
“When did this happen?”
“Just last night, she suddenly asked me for dinner. After dinner, it was raining, so she got a ride with us. Now she’s saying her earring got lost in the car”. Su Wanwan sounded extremely annoyed, “Right now, she’s looking for me to find it. Even though I keep telling her I haven’t found it, she won’t listen. It’s so annoying.”
Mo Weiyi:”…”
After ending the call, she got up, found the red earring from her bag.
This earring is from a classic Australian jewelry brand. Even though it’s not a top-tier luxury item, considering Qiao Zixin’s income and consumption level, it should be considered a high-end product.
Did she need to wear such an expensive piece of jewelry when inviting her cousin for a meal?
Was she flaunting her wealth or did she have ulterior motives?
And she also ‘accidentally’ lost it?
Conveniently, it just happened to fall in Mr. Huo’s car?
Tsk tsk tsk. No matter how one looked at this situation, it felt like a deliberate scheme to create an opportunity to meet with Mr. Huo.
With these thoughts, Mo Weiyi put the earring back in her bag and went to her dressing table.
So when Xiao Yebai entered the room, he saw her rummaging through her drawers.
“Xiaobai, have you seen my pair of red Shinore earrings?”
“No.”
“That’s strange, I clearly put it here, how come it’s gone?”
The pair of earrings was a birthday gift from her father, Mo Yaoxiong, on her eighteenth birthday.
Although they were worth nearly 100,000, because of their flashy color, which didn’t go well with most outfits, she hardly ever wore them. They were kept in the drawer, along with the original packaging.
But now, though the outer box was still there, the earrings inside were gone. Where could they have gone?
Xiao Yebai sat down by the sofa, picking up an iPad beside him.
“I can’t find them, this is so strange, how did they disappear?” Mo Weiyi mumbled while continuing to search. Eventually, after turning the entire dressing table inside out, she gave up despondently.
Soon enough, she found another pair of pink earrings to replace the previous ones.
After wearing the matching necklace, bracelet and diamond ring, she turned around, glimmering all over, and asked, “Xiaobai, Xiaobai, do I look good like this?”
Xiao Yebai was engrossed in the iPad, seemingly didn’t hear her interest and did not respond.
“Xiaobai!” Mo Weiyi pouted and took his iPad away, placing it aside.
Xiao Yebai barely opened his eyes.
At home, he didn’t wear his plain glasses. His black shirt unbuttoned, revealing his delicate and firm collarbone.
Under the light, the man’s skin was as white as jade, but because of his dark attire, he gave off a cold and indifferent aura.
For a moment, there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
But when Mo Weiyi looked closely, his eyes appeared clear and soft as if void of any emotion.
Xiao Yebai looked at the charming little face in front of him. Without makeup, it was still delicately radiant. With thin lips, he said nonchalantly, “Pretty.”
Though it was half-hearted, Mo Weiyi accepted his compliment, walked back to her dressing table and started removing her jewelry.
She came back after a few minutes.
She sat right down on the couch, hugging the man’s neck, “Xiaobai, do you know what’s the day after tomorrow?”
