My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 473: 473, Aloof Xiaobai

The slender, boned fingers extinguished the cigarette butt into a nearby trash can. Xiao Yebai said, “No problem, it’s conveniently on my way.”

Rong An: “…”

Nancheng University is in the South Fifth Ring, while Jinmao Building is in the North Fourth Ring. Leaving the old house is literally going in the opposite direction. Which part of this is supposed to be convenient?

However, Xiao Yebai was already heading over. As a subordinate, he wasn’t in a position to say much, so he got in the car.

The black Audi slowly left the garage and drove away from the old house along the avenue.

On the way, both men were silent until they were through the gate when Rong An’s mobile phone suddenly rang.

After glancing at the screen, Rong An subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror.

The man seated in the back had been looking out of the window since he got into the car, his handsome, refined profile serene and quiet.

Rong An answered the call. After giving it some thought, he turned on the speakerphone, “Princess.”

Mo Weiyi’s clear, sweet voice immediately filled the car. “Rong An, have you decided on the restaurant yet?”

Before Rong An could respond, she continued, “The French restaurant on the fifth floor of the Jinmao Building is pretty decent. Why don’t we go there? I haven’t been there for a long time.”

“Alright, princess.”

“How long until you reach?” Mo Weiyi asked.

Rong An glanced at the rearview mirror, hesitated and said, “Twenty minutes.”

“Alright, I will wait for you at the university gate.”

After hanging up, Rong An asked for permission, “Master Xiao, may I pick up the princess first?”

Xiao Yebai’s response was a nonchalant “Mm”.

The car was quiet once again.

Rong An drove all the way to Nancheng University.

From a distance, he could see Mo Weiyi waiting by the roadside at the university gate.

She was dressed in a thick cream-colored coat, a black and white beret on her head. A pair of vintage sunglasses was perched on her petite nose. Her honey-colored curls danced in the wind, her lips seductively red.

As the car stopped, Mo Weiyi walked directly to the back seat. But as soon as she opened the door, she froze on the spot.

Rong An quickly explained, “Master Xiao asked me to give him a lift to the Jinmao Building.”

Although the explanation seemed superfluous.

With so many luxury cars and chauffeurs at the Mo Family’s disposal, it was not hard to see what was going on.

Mo Weiyi’s grip on the door handle whitened slightly due to the force she was exerting.

She looked at the man.

He was sitting in the inner seat at the back, his long and straight legs crossed leisurely. His handsome face was cold and ruthless, and those pitch-black eyes were calmly looking at her.

Mo Weiyi was grateful that she was wearing sunglasses.

After a brief pause, instead of retreating to the passenger seat in the front, which would be too obvious and cowardly, she stepped into the car and sat down.

After closing the car door, she remained composed, her voice calm and waveless, “Rong An, I don’t want to go to Jinmao anymore. Let’s go to Michelin on Sea Road instead.”

Rong An said, “Okay.”

Xiao Yebai squinted slightly.

However…

He didn’t say anything.

Rong An started the car and drove off.

After Mo Weiyi sat for a while, she felt the atmosphere in the car was awkwardly stiff.

Even though there were three people in the car, none of them spoke.

Well, nevermind.

She simply took out her phone and sent a message to the group, [Baby Wanwan, have you eaten yet?]

Su Wanwan: [Secretary Shi just said the traffic was bad, we are waiting for her.]

Mo Weiyi: [What? Secretary Shi too? How many people are you dining with?]

The following was an emoticon of Quan Lu’er crying.

How heartbreaking, there are only three people in the group chat, but these two left her alone to have dinner together!

Su Wanwan: [I also only found out when I got here, there are four people in total as far as I know.]

Mo Weiyi: [I want to join you next time!]

Su Wanwan: [Sure.]

Just after Mo Weiyi sent an emoticon, Su Wanwan sent another message, [They have arrived, gotta go.]

Mo Weiyi: “…”

She put down her phone and focused her gaze out of the window.

But no matter how much she tried to ignore it, the familiar masculine scent by her side still made its way into her nostrils with each breath.

Mo Weiyi bit her lip, feeling mentally drained.

She never anticipated their situation to have ended up like this.

At first, she simply felt hurt by his attitude that day and didn’t want to be the one apologizing and seeking for his approval again.

But after the misunderstanding was cleared, it seemed as if… He had become even more indifferent due to her aloofness.

Now, it seemed like they were both competing to see who could be more indifferent towards the other.

They could even act like complete strangers while sitting in the same car…

Mo Weiyi just had scattered thoughts while incessantly biting her lip. Only after realizing that she almost wiped off her lipstick did she lowered her head to look for the lipstick and compact mirror in her bag.

Unfortunately, the car suddenly made a left turn at that moment.

The compact mirror and lipstick in Mo Weiyi’s hand flew out instantly, dropping under the seat.

She bent down, her hand fumbling under the seat cushion.

Despite her futile attempts to find what she was looking for, she felt a man’s hand grab hers suddenly.

It was warm, strong, and familiar.

Mo Weiyi felt her heart skip a beat and immediately tried to pull her hand back.

But the man’s hand tightened its grip, making it impossible for her to break free.

After struggling for a while, Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but look up at the man.

Xiao Yebai was sitting expressionlessly, his dark, deep eyes staring at her with a calm, detached look. It was as if he had done nothing at all.

But he was still holding her hand.

Mo Weiyi asked directly, “What are you trying to do?”

A female’s obviously accusing voice broke the silence in the car. Rong An furrowed his brows and quickly glanced at the rear-view mirror.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Yebai’s cool and deep voice slowly sounded, “You touched my leg.”

Mo Weiyi widened her eyes in shock, “What nonsense are you spouting? When did I touch your leg? I was picking up something!”

Xiao Yebai didn’t say a word. His handsome face remained calm as he released her hand, sat up straight, and adjusted his lapels.

From start to finish, he moved gracefully, unhurriedly, and calmly.

On the other hand, she was the one who seemed too reactive and flustered.

Mo Weiyi was left stunned.

She never realized before that he could be so… shameless.

“Princess, is everything alright?” Rong An’s voice broke her thoughts.

Mo Weiyi turned her gaze away, huffily replying, “Nothing’s wrong!”

As if it wasn’t!
