Chapter 538: 538, beauty sleep is more important than a husband
After wiping her fingers, she lifted her head with a sweet and charming smile, “I need to go back for my beauty sleep; what am I going to do if I stop looking good?”
Ye Bei could hardly control his laughter.
Indeed, she was the little princess of the Mo Family. Even though her husband was sick in bed, she still wanted to go back for her beauty sleep.
He added humorously, “A woman’s beauty sleep indeed plays a significant role.”
Xiao Yebai remained silent with a stern face.
However, Mo Weiyi seemed to have struck a chord with Ye Bei, “There’s nothing I can do about it. What if I have to divorce him in the future? Don’t I need to keep my pretty face to attract other men?”
Xiao Yebai’s handsome face darkened instantaneously.
Ye Bei felt a stir in his heart.
Divorce?
Was she talking about…
Divorcing Xiao Yebai?
“Alright, I am heading back first. I will come by tonight to bring you dinner.”
After finishing her words, Mo Weiyi suddenly frowned, “However, considering your current health condition, you can’t really have dinner as usual. I will ask Aunt Zhou to make you some porridge.”
While she was putting on her coat and picking up her handbag, she left without looking back.
Xiao Yebai did not hold her back. The only thing that caught attention was his unapproachable look.
Mo Weiyi, on the other hand, felt extremely jubilant.
Wanwan was right. She had been too proactive! She had been too nice to this introverted man!
That was why he took her for granted and did not appreciate her.
Moving forward, she would continue to be good to him wherever necessary, but she now promised to treat herself even better.
She was no longer going to do everything for him as she did in the past.
Frankly speaking, she twisted and turned in bed the whole night due to weariness and barely slept at all. Now that Xiao Yebai was stable, her body and mind finally relaxed. She was so sleepy that she needed to compensate for lost sleep immediately, especially since there was a guest…
After leaving the ward and waiting for the lift, she suddenly heard the voice of the visitor behind her, “Miss Mo.”
Mo Weiyi turned around, slightly tilting her face, “Mr. Ye?”
Ye Bei approached her with a smile.
He was a particularly handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you could tell his body was muscular, and he had a fair amount of muscle. His facial features were rugged, with slightly thick lips, which made his smile look… kinda slick.
However, because he was Xiao Yebai’s classmate, Mo Weiyi maintained a sweet smile on her face, “Can I assist you with anything?”
Only now did Ye Bei have the chance to take a good look at her.
The last time he saw her, he thought she was a beautiful little princess. However, this time, she seemed more elegant—maybe because of the change in hairstyle—with a touch more womanliness in her eyes.
“Miss Mo, there’s a good musical lately. Would you be interested in going to see it?”
Ye Bei had done his research beforehand. Even though Mo Weiyi majored in law in university, her late mother was a well-known pianist in Nancheng. Therefore, he believed she must have an interest in the music field.
“A musical?” Mo Weiyi looked at him, seemingly surprised.
Ye Bei quickly replied, “Yes, you’ll definitely love it. It’s ‘The Phantom of the Opera’, performed by the original cast from Broadway.”
“How did you know that I would like it?” Mo Weiyi looked even more astonished.
Ye Bei was rather triumphant, but he kept a calm face, “Who doesn’t know that Miss Mo’s mother came from a music family? So, I just ventured a bold guess.”
“Oh,” Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, “How many tickets do you have?”
“Two.”
Mo Weiyi continued to smile, “Are you giving all of them to me?”
Ye Bei paused, then hurriedly said, “May I have the honor to accompany Miss Mo to watch it together? I should add, when I was in America, I frequently watched such performances. Moreover, it’s rare that the original cast is performing this time.”
“You want to watch it with me?” Mo Weiyi touched her hair tips, innocently saying, “I thought you were going to give the tickets to me, so I could watch it with my husband.”
Ye Bei laughed awkwardly, “Yebai is not fully recovered and can’t be discharged from the hospital just yet.”
“But it seems inappropriate for you and me to go together, right?”
“Miss Mo, please do not misunderstand. I genuinely enjoy this performance. Watching it alone is just not fun. Besides, it would be such a waste if I don’t go. However, if I end up going with someone who knows nothing about musicals, we would have nothing to talk about.”
He fully believed his reasoning was sufficient, who would have thought…
“Well, unfortunately, I don’t really understand musicals either.”
“Miss Mo, you must be joking.” Ye Bei evidently didn’t believe her.
Mo Weiyi continued to smile, “Didn’t you know? The thing I hate the most is the piano.”
“Why?”
“Because, ever since I was a child, my mother forced me to play the piano every day. I didn’t have a talent for music. Each practice was incredibly difficult, yet I couldn’t play any better. My mother was extremely strict, scolding me for every little thing and constantly comparing me to my cousin. Those years have cast a dark shadow over my childhood and as a result, I deeply despise the piano.”
Having said that, the elevator arrived just in time and Mo Weiyi headed straight in, “Mr. Ye, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Ok.” Ye Bei could only watch helplessly as the elevator closed.
A miscalculation indeed.
It seems that he would have to reassess her likes and dislikes.

On the other side, after Mo Yaoxiong finished his call with Mo Weiyi, he instructed his driver to take him to a small residential area near the city’s fourth ring road.
After parking the car, Mo Yaoxiong instructed, “Xiaoli, wait for me here.”
“Ok.”
Watching Mo Yaoxiong get out of the car and walk into the building, Xiaoli shook his head quietly.
What’s going on, with a brother-in-law meeting his younger sister-in-law in private!
However…
As a servant, there’s nothing he can do but grumble to himself about his master’s affairs.
**
Mo Yaoxiong quickly reached a door upstairs, knocked twice, and the door opened.
Xu Jing, dressed in a graceful skirt, smiled at him, “Brother-in-law, you’re here.”
Mo Yaoxiong stepped in.
“Brother-in-law, these are new slippers I’ve just bought.”
Mo Yaoxiong looked at the woman’s appeasing smile, sighed internally, but still changed into the slippers and sat down.
A strong aroma of food quickly wafted over.
Sure enough, Xu Jing quickly said, “Brother-in-law, why not have lunch here while you’re at it? I’ve prepared everything.”
“No need, I’m just here to talk and then I’ll leave.”
“Brother-in-law, nobody is at home. Ever since Yunyao went to Italy, I’ve been alone in the house without anyone to talk to. I’ve already cooked, I won’t be able to finish it all.”
Mo Yaoxiong looked at her, “Xu Jing, the main reason I came today is to ask about Yunyao.”
“Brother-in-law, go ahead.”
“Why did you tell Weiyi that Yunyao likes Yebai?”
Xu Jing was startled, and quickly apologized, “Brother-in-law, I’m sorry, I… I thought she knew about it, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Weiyi, that child, has always been possessive since she was young. Ever since Yebai came to our home, she’s been smitten with him. A few years ago, when Yebai’s sister ran to our house, the two of them nearly had a fight in the old house. My father has always yielded to Weiyi, being born late in his life, she is his precious granddaughter, and years of overindulgence have made Weiyi increasingly arrogant. Yesterday, after learning about this, she immediately caused a ruckus in the hospital with Yebai. They both wanted a divorce, and it nearly ended in death…”
“What did you say?” Xu Jing’s face grew into even more panic, “Brother-in-law, I really didn’t do it on purpose, you must believe me. I’ll call Weiyi right now to explain. I really didn’t know it would get out of hand, I seriously thought she knew.”
“Okay.” Mo Yaoxiong frowned, “You didn’t know, that’s fine. But next time, try not to talk about these things in front of her, understood?”
Xu Jing nodded appropriately, “I understand.”
Mo Yaoxiong stood up to leave.
“Brother-in-law, have something to eat before you go. I deliberately bought extra food. There’s no fridge at home. If you don’t eat, I really can’t finish it all and it would be a waste.”
Unable to refuse her enthusiasm, Mo Yaoxiong eventually sat at the dining table.
Soon, Xu Jing had brought all the dishes.
Four dishes and a soup.
Especially the soup, it was a slow-cooked old duck soup, evidently, a lot of effort was put into it.
After taking a sip of the soup, Mo Yaoxiong turned slightly emotional.
As Xu Jing watched his face, she quietly asked, “How’s the taste?”
“Good.”
“Compared to before?”
At those words, Mo Yaoxiong was taken aback.
“I’m sorry, brother-in-law, I misspoke.” Xu Jing quickly apologized again.
Seeing Xu Jing’s cautious demeanor, Mo Yaoxiong softly sighed inside, “Xu Jing, I am sorry for what happened in the past, but even now, even though Xu Xian has been gone for four years, you are Xu Xian’s sister, I am your brother-in-law. This relationship will not change.”
