Chapter 697

Tianyu truly held no selfish intentions towards Wen Qing whatsoever; he went all out in teaching her.Everything that he knew, he taught to Wen Qing. He was strict and severe, but what he offered her...Chapter 697

Moxiao Bai twitched at the corner of his mouth. Ye Feimo felt that what he said was quite reasonable, and nodded with a rather self-satisfied air, sincerely suggesting to Moxiao Bai, who wished he could punch him flat, "I won't run away from this marriage; such a low-level game, who would play it."

Ye Feimo raised one finger and shook it, smiling brightly. "Brother, don't be too absolute about things. If you manage to get married tomorrow, cousin will give you anything as a gift; if not, just drink down the can, little cousin gives whoever he wants to, and you'll acknowledge it, okay"

Moxiao Bai felt his hair stand on end and looked at Ye Feimo with wide eyes. Unable to hold back anymore, he stomped his foot. "Why hasn't Little Aunt dismissed you yet You have such an evil taste; how can you torment your adorable little brother like this"

Moxiao Bai called him by the same title as Ye Feimo did.

Ye Feimo smiled and said, "You lack courage. Didn't you guarantee that you wouldn’t do such things Not daring to take such a bet, you are indeed weak; truly, very weak." Moxiao Bai looked miserable, and Ye Feimo looked down on him, deeply expressing how the level of brother and senior was not comparable at all, which wasn't fun. Thus, he turned around and went upstairs.

When Moxiao Bai passed through Mo Yue's study, the light in there was still on. When he pushed open the door to take a look, he suddenly felt choked up, with an uncomfortable feeling surging forth. The study seemed like it had caught fire, everywhere filled with smoke, white茫茫一片。莫遙一人坐在椅子上，神情恍惚地抽著煙，窗戶也關得緊緊的。通風不良，所以屋內全是煙味，不知道的人還以為失火了。

That day in the garden when Mo Yue was smoking, Moxiao Bai didn’t feel anything unusual. The smoke dispersed in the garden wasn’t strong at all; he later smoked a whole pack himself and thus got hooked on it. These days, his craving for cigarettes had flared up again, almost getting slapped by Baimo. He couldn’t touch this stuff; now that his heart was heavily addicted to it, smoking felt worse than taking drugs, making him easily fall back into addiction. Now that he smelled the cigarette smoke again, he felt uncomfortable.

Moyao saw Xiao Bai come in and hurriedly shouted, "Get out!"

Xiao Bai seemed to not have heard him and leaned against the door panting. Moyao quickly opened the window for ventilation, grabbed Xiao Bai's collar, and threw him outside. Xiao Bai felt uncomfortable and was sweating, as the feeling of a drug craving came back. Since Moyao had locked himself in the room, Xiao Bai came out too. He held onto Moyao’s shoulder and said, "Bear with it; you'll feel better soon."

Xiao Bai took deep breaths. Moyao stepped back a few steps because he smelled strongly of smoke, which would make Xiao Bai uncomfortable. Xiao Bai looked at him and asked, "Lately, you've been smoking so much, there's no need to damage your lungs like this."

Moyao didn't respond. After Xiao Bai’s craving subsided, Moyao seemed more relaxed. He said, "Go back and rest first; don’t worry about me."

Xiao Bai remembered Ye Feimo's words: that Moyao loved him. It felt like something was stuck in his throat. He only looked deeply at Moyao. Moyao said, "Leave then. What are you still staying for You have a wedding tomorrow; go get some rest."

"What about you" Xiao Bai sensed that Moyao wasn't in the best mood but didn’t know why. Still, he hoped Moyao would rest early and not overwork himself. However, these words sounded different to Moyao.

Moyao said coolly, "Don’t worry; I won’t be late tomorrow."

Xiao Bai was speechless and turned to leave. After a few steps, he saw Moyao had already entered the study. Xiao Bai stopped and turned back to follow him in. Moyao looked at him with bewilderment.

The smell of smoke in the study had become faint, but Xiao Bai didn't feel uncomfortable. He asked Mo Yao, "Boss, I've been feeling quite anxious lately. Are you avoiding me"

"No." Mo Yao replied. How could he be avoiding Mo Xiao

"How can that be You weren’t like this before," Mo Xiao complained, feeling aggrieved. He felt that Mo Yao was treating him coldly and wasn't as caring and affectionate toward him as before. When he heard these words, Mo Yao smiled slightly and asked Mo Xiao in return, "Do you remember how I used to treat you"

Mo Xiao angrily glared at Mo Yao; how could he forget There might have been details that slipped his mind, but he always knew that Mo Yao had treated him well. Lately, their gazes hardly met, and it was clear that Mo Yao was distant toward him. What did he do wrong

"Forget it," Mo Yao said with a sigh, "I thought you were just pre-wedding anxious. Go back to bed."

Mo Xiao stood there unwillingly, his eyes cold as they met Mo Yao's gaze. "I’m not anxious about getting married. I just feel that your attitude toward me is strange; it’s like I’ve got some contagious disease. Did I do something you hate"

"Your marriage makes me quite unhappy," Mo Yao replied calmly, looking at Mo Xiao. "Would you not get married if given the choice"

Mo Xiao was momentarily stunned; he hadn't expected Mo Yao to say this. Mo Yao seemed to have anticipated his reaction and smiled slightly, pressing his lips together. "Since I don’t like it but you still insist on doing it anyway, does my mood matter to you"

"Why" Moxiao Bai asked.

Moyao said, "There's no reason. I just don't like it. I'm very busy tonight because there are some issues with Feis' contract that need to be addressed until late. Smoking is merely to keep me awake; you're overthinking this. Go back and rest, do not bother me anymore or else let Mo Chen be your best man tomorrow."

Moxiao Bai was at a loss for words, wanting to ask many questions but hesitated to look at Moyao's expression.

He tossed and turned all night without sleeping. The next morning, Shiyi told him that Moyao had something important to attend to before returning in time for the wedding ceremony. Moxiao Bai nodded; Ye Feimo, Kara, Mo Chen, and he went together to the photography studio for makeup and attire changes.

Only Ji Bing came alone, with Fengyun taking care of him as they also headed to the photography studio for their makeup sessions. The ritual was not too formal; Moxiao Bai and Ji Bing dressed up and proceeded directly to the hall where Ye Wei, Mo Jue, Shiyi, Young Master Ye Three, Mo Ye, Cheng Anya, among others had already arrived early at the church.

The priest was waiting there long before them.

Moxiao Bai waited anxiously in the photography studio, feeling an ominous sense today as if something significant would happen. Wuzhuang said he was suffering from pre-wedding jitters, but Moxiao Bai did not pay attention. He kept checking his watch every so often and continuously had twitching eyelids and cold sweats.

Mo Chen mentioned, "Boss talked about business with Feis last night; today they have an appointment at the pier where Boss has a shipment of military supplies bound for Rome hoping to secure some favor. He left early this morning for the pier."l, unless someone doesn’t want to remain in this circle anymore."That’s right, no one dares to bully Ye Ershao’s woman!" Tang Shuwen said with a light laugh, though not too loudly as there were only t...
