"Why on earth..."
"Since the little princess doesn't want to speak up, I will send you one type of flower each day, until I find the one you like." After pausing, he continues, "Little princess, you need to know, you are the first woman in this world that has made me send 999 roses consecutively for two days."
The call ended abruptly.
Mo Weiyi stared at the phone.
Is this guy a Virgo?
Such an obsession with numbers.
Could he possibly keep track of how many girlfriends he's had?
"Young Master Xiao."
Rong An's voice suddenly rang out.
Mo Weiyi immediately became flustered. Damn!
Why did Xiaobai return at this moment?
Could he possibly be this unlucky?
Upon seeing the remarkable sight of the room filled with fresh flowers once again, Xiao Yebai's face instantly turned cold.
Quite evidently.
A visibly cold aura was spreading...
Especially because the weather was getting colder, he wore a pitch-black suit today, meticulously dressed down to his pant legs that were also radiating a cold glow.
"Err, Xiaobai, these flowers..."
Xiao Yebai didn't utter a word and just turned around and left.
Mo Weiyi furrowed her brows, quickly called out to Rong An, "Hurry up, Rong An, take these flowers downstairs!"
Rong An's poker face twitched a couple of times, and he promptly got to work.
Because he was handed the roses yesterday afternoon to give to the floors below, many nurses would shoot him flirtatious glances whenever they'd pass by in the corridor...
Indeed, simply absurd!

About half an hour later, just as Mo Weiyi was figuring out how to explain the situation over the phone, Xiao Yebai came back, followed by the head physician.
"Miss Mo's left foot has minor burns, but the main issue is the broken toe on her right foot, which needs to be immobilized for about six weeks. After being discharged from the hospital, make sure someone is around at all times to avoid happening of any accidents like last time. I've already stated all the other precautions, if you have any problems, come to the hospital promptly..."
Mo Weiyi was taken aback.
Was she being discharged?
Rong An had just finished moving the flowers and had come back.
"Rong An, bring the car around." Xiao Yebai instructed as he tossed the car keys to Rong An. "Aunty Jiang, could you tidy up the room and ask old Liu to bring the car here."
As for him, he picked up a coat, wrapped it around Mo Weiyi, carried her in his arms and proceeded towards the exit.
"Xiaobai," Mo Weiyi questioned him, "why the sudden discharge?"
"The hospital is inconvenient," Xiao Yebai said indifferently.
Inconvenient?
Mo Weiyi blinked.
For some unknown reason, she remembered yesterday evening in the bathroom...
She buried her face in his chest.
Oh, this was so embarrassing. So Xiaobai wanted to be discharged because of that!

Once they reached the car, Xiao Yebai's phone suddenly rang.
I will be there right away...you guys go directly upstairs...okay."
A few vague sentences. Mo Weiyi presumed it was a work call because as soon as he hung up he commanded, "Rong An, drive back to Lishui Bay." "Alright."
Xiao Yebai looked at Mo Weiyi, "I'll join you after wrapping up the work."
"Okay," Mo Weiyi willingly agreed.
It could be her imagination, but ever since the night they were scared by the child, Xiaobai had been noticeably more caring towards her. He would leave work on time and would even come to accompany her for lunch. When Xiao Yebai left, Rong An drove back to Lishui Bay.
Mo Weiyi, having nothing else to do, started a conversation with the bodyguard. "Rong An, are you tired?"
"Not tired."
But you've been with me all these two days, and it seems you didn't sleep at night, are you sure you're not tired?" "Not tired."
If you're tired, I can hire a substitute driver, or ask the family driver to come and pick us up."
"Not tired."
Mo Weiyi:"..."
Alright then.

Hospital, 21st floor.
Xiao Yebai heard a commotion while he was walking down the corridor. The door was open, so he walked there and knocked lightly on the door.
Everyone in the sick room turned to look.
"You all leave first," Xiao Yebai said impassively.
The doctors and nurses breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly filed out.
"Brother, why did you tell mom and dad that I was hospitalized?" Xiao Zhiwei asked in a hoarse voice.
"We can't believe you were hospitalized and didn't tell us, do you realize how worried your father and I have been?" Xiao Zhiwei's mother scolded her in a motherly tone.
"Don't play the sympathy card!" Xiao Zhiwei interrupted angrily, "You're worried that I might run away, aren't you?"
"What nonsense is that!" Her father warned her, before turning to Xiao Yebai, "Yebai, I knew you wouldn't ignore our family's Weiwei. After all, your aunt and I raised you for eight years. You're much more respectful than Weiwei, you know gratitude..."
"Brother!" Xiao Zhiwei interrupted, "What did I do wrong, why do you despise me so much? Why do you go back on your word!"
Weiwei, her mother scolded, "speak properly to your brother."
"Shut up!" Xiao Zhiwei trembled, "Brother, don't you know that four years ago they forced me to marry that old man...'
"What do you mean 'old man1?" Her mother interjected.
"If I hadn't escaped then, that pervert would've tortured me to death long ago!"
"What nonsensical things are you saying..."
That's enough!" A chilled voice from the man overwhelmed the sickroom.
He looked at the three people in front of him, "Medical fees, hospital fees, everything has been pre-paid. The person, I'll hand over to you now."
Hearing these words, Xiao Zhiwei screamed hysterically, "I don't want to! Brother, didn't you promise me? Why? Why would you go back on your word!"
