My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 507: 507, the princess said she wants to sleep in the second bedroom

Chapter 507: the princess said she wants to sleep in the second bedroom

The villa was neatly cleaned, same as when she last left it. Her traces were everywhere, including the youthful yet heavy Japanese cartoons on the walls.

Walking up the stairs, at the corner, she looked up and saw her wedding photos with Xiao Yebai on the wall.

She’s the one who had insisted the housemaid hang them on the wall.

There seemed to be no issue before, but now she realized that in every wedding photo, she was laughing happily while the man beside her was always indifferent.

She remembered how they rescheduled the wedding photo shoot several times.

At that time, he had just started working at Mo Family. His work was busy, and he faced many criticisms and censures from outside, so she would always accommodate his schedule.

Finally, they managed to find a day for the wedding photo shoot. Yet at the studio, despite the photographer’s persuasion, he wouldn’t smile. Initially, they were supposed to have seven or eight photo shoots, but they ran out of time and had to cancel all the outdoor shoots; they only managed to carry out three indoor shoots.

Despite this, she felt so happy being immersed in the joy of her wedding. As soon as she received the framed wedding photos, she immediately adorned the entire villa with them….

Mo Weiyi slowly walked upstairs and arrived at the master bedroom.

She opened the door, stood at the doorway, and gazed at the room’s layout without moving for a long time.

Only when Aunt Zhou came upstairs with a suitcase did she gave a command: “Aunt Zhou, help me drag the suitcase to the second bedroom.”

“Alright.”

Aunt Zhou did not think much about it and turned away. Then, she heard Mo Weiyi speak again: “Help me clean up the second bedroom while you’re at it.”

Aunt Zhou immediately turned around and looked at her, “Princess, what is…”

“I want to sleep in a different room.”

“But Master Xiao said…”

“Never mind what he said.” Mo Weiyi said lightly.

However, Aunt Zhou was flustered. “Princess, have you not reconciled with Master Xiao yet?”

Mo Weiyi had previously been carried home drunk by Xiao Yebai. Aunt Zhou had thought that they had already made up, and yet…

“Princess, did Master Xiao do something wrong? I can go and tell the old master…”

“No,” Mo Weiyi abruptly interrupted her.

“…”

“Aunt Zhou, please just help me clean up the second room, don’t mind the other things, and don’t tell my grandfather. Okay?”

“Alright then.” Aunt Zhou had no choice but to agree.

Once Aunt Zhou he had finished tidying up the bedding and such, Mo Weiyi quickly brought over her dolls and gave an order, “Bring over the clothes from the master bedroom as well.”

“Alright, Princess.”

After Mo Weiyi finished speaking, she went to take a bath.

By the time Aunt Zhou had finished tidying up the second bedroom, Mo Weiyi had just finished her bath, and promptly went to bed immediately.

“Princess, it’s almost time for dinner…”

“I’ve been busy with exams for the past few days and am extremely tired. I will eat after I wake up.”

Aunt Zhou: “Alright.”

A week of high-intensity final exams, during which she was consumed by countless English words and laws, left Mo Weiyi drained and desperately needing sufficient rest.

**

Aunt Zhou went downstairs and after giving it some thought, she gathered up her nerve and dialed Xiao Yebai’s number.

It took many rings for the call to be answered; a clean and deep voice came through, “Aunt Zhou.”

“Master Xiao, the Princess is home.”

“Hmm.” The man’s voice was indifferent, absent of any strong emotion.

Aunt Zhou frowned, “Master Xiao, the Princess said earlier that she wants to sleep in the second bedroom and has already moved her things there. I couldn’t stop her.”

“Aunt Zhou, I’m in a meeting.”

Aunt Zhou beseeched him, “But Master Xiao, I’ve watched the Princess grow up from a child. She may be a bit childish, but her intentions are pure and she’s easy to placate. If she did something wrong and upset you, you should forgive her more and take the initiative to appease her…”

“We’ll talk later.”

“Master Xiao…”

Before she could finish, the call was cut off.

Aunt Zhou was incredibly worried.

One was coming home to the villa for vacation but chose to sleep in the second bedroom; the other, whose wife just returned home, was still in the office having a meeting.

What kind of situation was this?

**

Mo Weiyi had a long sleep.

The curtains in the room were closed, and a soft yellow wall lamp was switched on. The dim light provided a peaceful atmosphere, lulling her into a deep sleep.

When she finally woke up, she opened her eyes to see a dark figure sitting at the edge of the bed.

“Ah!”

Mo Weiyi was shocked and screamed, yet her mouth was swiftly covered by a man’s large palm.

A familiar male fragrance quickly filled her nostrils.

Mo Weiyi blinked, her entire body gradually settling.

Then, her hand abruptly moved, pulling the other hand down, she asked somewhat indignantly, “Are you trying to scare me to death? Who allowed you into my room? Who invited you to sit on my bed?”

The room was dimly lit, with the only source of illumination, a wall lamp, being on the opposite side of a large bed.

A man sat sideways by the bed, appearing condescending from above. Because his back was to the light, his facial expression and emotions remained hidden.

But, after hearing her words, he did not respond.

On the contrary, due to Mo Weiyi facing the light source, he could see her clearly.

She was wearing a pure white nightgown and sitting halfway on the head of the bed. Her shoulder-length, honey-colored curly hair looked quite exquisite, although it was particularly fluffy and a bit messy from sleep, covering her fair and slightly flushed face.

The sweet facade of the person before him unintentionally exuded a sense of innocent allure.

Finally, Xiao Yebai gave a low and calm response, “Why did you suddenly decide to cut your hair?”

Ever since she was 15 years old, when she first came to the Xiao Family, Mo Weiyi, then 10, had always kept her hair waist-length.

After she had started high school, she decided to get her hair permed into large waves. Doing it consistently over the many years made it a part of her definitive image.

No one cherished their hair more than her. She always took good care of her hair. The previous hairstyle, like it was customized for her, gave her a strong princess vibe.

But now, she had chopped it to shoulder length with curls.

Though it still looked pretty, something seemed…

Off.

Mo Weiyi lifted her little chin, “I just wanted to cut it. Why does it need to have a reason?”

“Why did you want to cut it?”

Mo Weiyi did not want to answer that question, “I need to get up now, could you please move aside.”

Xiao Yebai still remained motionless.

Mo Weiyi decided to lift her blanket and get off the bed from the other side.

She turned on the lights, approached the wardrobe to pick out clothes. She was about to change her pajamas when she suddenly seemed to realize something, stopping her movement.

Then, unable to help herself, she turned and asked, “Aren’t you going to go out?”

Under the bright light, Xiao Yebai sat on the edge of the bed in the same position.

The man’s handsome and three-dimensional facial contours, wearing elegant flat glasses, impeccably dressed in a shirt and trouser ensemble covered by a dark brown cashmere sweater.

He carried an inscrutable aura of being a gentleman.

If it had been before, Mo Weiyi would’ve already thrown herself onto him.

But now, she wore a cold expression, her exquisite features still dainty but devoid of any emotion.

Seeing him silent, she turned her back and pretended that he did not exist.

Around the house, she always sought comfort, wearing loose, casual clothes without layering. She did the same for sleeping.

…

Xiao Yebai narrowed his eyes, looking at the woman’s silhouette. His hands, which had been resting at his sides, gradually clenched into fists.

After quickly changing into a sweater and grabbing a pair of casual pants, Mo Weiyi stood in front of the mirror for a glance and then headed onwards.

Without a single backward glance.

Upon reaching downstairs, Aunt Zhou immediately approached her, “Princess, Young Master Xiao, he…”

“Aunt Zhou, is the rib soup ready? I am hungry.”

“Oh, it’s ready. Princess, let me serve it for you.” After speaking, Aunt Zhou glanced at the stairs.

She had thought that upon coming home, Young Master Xiao would instantly go upstairs to appease Mo Weiyi, yet it was still the princess who came down alone.

After pouring the soup and arranging all the other dishes on the dining table, Aunt Zhou exited the dining room only to see Xiao Yebai descending the staircase.

She immediately hurried over to him, “Young Master Xiao, dinner is ready.”

“Mm,” was all Xiao Yebai said, his voice flat as he headed for the dining room.

Aunt Zhou hurried to the kitchen for another set of tableware.

Upon reaching the dining room, she looked over and probably thought…

Umm…

Mo Weiyi was elegantly sipping the soup from her bowl, while Xiao Yebai sat across from her, visibly emotionless, silently watching her.

The atmosphere wasn’t just slightly awkward.

After a moment, Aunt Zhou decided to leave the room.

It was not her place, as a servant, to get involved with a couple’s business.

…

The dining room was quiet again. After finishing two bowls of soup and gnawing a few pieces of rib, Mo Weiyi finally felt full. She put down her chopsticks and got up to leave without uttering a single word.

From beginning to end, she did not glance at Xiao Yebai even once.
