But compared to these, Mo Li still felt that living here was a thousand times more comfortable than when she was by Ye Xiaotian's side .
Byron was really a caring gentleman . He did not speak harshly at all and was especially nice to her parents . Mr . and Mrs . Mo were extremely satisfied with this son-in-law who was about their age .
Other than paying her greetings to Byron's parents daily, Mo Li basically never left the house .
As Byron was already 40 years old, his parents repeatedly urged Mo Li to have children earlier . Mo Li nodded in agreement — replying that she had such an intention too, but her physical condition was not too good and her body needed to be nursed first before she could bear children .
Byron's parents then gave her many tonics for nourishment . To them, although this daughter-in-law had a family background that wasn't too satisfactory, she was rather fine in other ways .
“I've an engagement at six today, I'll be back at eight sharp . ”
Mo Li passed the suit over to him and replied gently, “Alright . If the food at dinner isn't good, I'll make you something to eat when you come back . ”
Byron gave her a peck on her forehead . “Thanks, dear . ”
Wearing a smile, Mo Li walked him to his car . Just as she came back to the room, her phone began ringing .
There were only a handful of people who knew her new number .
“Hello . ”
The other end was completely silent, nobody replied . She took a look at the screen and repeated, “Hello? If you're not speaking, I'm hanging up . ”
“Listening to your voice, you seem to be enjoying your newly married life . ” Ye Xiaotian's voice sounded from the other end . Every bit of it jarred on her nerves .
“You really have your ways . ” Mo Li instantly ended the line .
She then changed her phone settings to only allow contacts from her phonebook to call her .
Ye Xiaotian's repeated attempts to call her were to no avail . It was the same even when he used a different phone number . He stared at the phone, unable to recover himself for a long while .
Placing his phone on the bedside table, Ye Xiaotian's head was in a mess the whole day . From the day she left until now, she had left a mark on his heart which he could feel everyday . Day after day, it only got worse .
He wanted to kiss and hug her, to feel the warmth of her body on his . He wanted all of these so badly .
He had originally thought she was just an insignificant woman to her . A woman he, Ye Xiaotian, could easily find loads of others as replacement for . But now, he'd realized it wasn't that case .
Mo Li… Mo Li! His thoughts were full of longing for her .
His phone started to vibrate . He picked it up again . It was a call from Bai Ranran .
“Hello…”
“Xiaotian, I feel like eating Cheng Bei House's dumplings . Can you buy them for me?”
“Sure . ”
Bai Ranran's requests, as long as it was something within his means, he would never reject .
He drove all the way to Cheng Bei just to buy a bowl of dumplings to deliver to her . Seeing her face lit up with happiness, he stood there slightly out of sorts . At that moment, it seemed as if he saw another face through hers .
“Xiaotian . ”
“Mmm . Why, is it not nice?”
“Why did you let the shop put vinegar in it? You know I don't like vinegar, right?” Her brows tightened in a huge frown .
“I felt it would be better if you added some . ”
Bai Ranran did not say anything further and continued gulping in small bites . “Xiaotian, why have you been out of sorts lately? Is it because Mo Li got married, so you're feeling upset?”
“Who said that?” he replied coldly . “Why should I feel upset over her?”
Hearing his reply, Bai Ranran finally said, “That's just what I thought . Hearing you say this, I can rest assured then . ”
The doctor came over holding the blood pack . “Ms . Bai, didn't I instruct you to only eat after the blood transfusion?”
“I'm hungry . ” Bai RanRan grinned . “Then let me rest a while after my meal before I do the transfusion . ”
The doctor then responded, “Alright, I'll come back in a while then . ”
Ye Xiaotian pulled the covers for her . “I'll come and see you tomorrow . ”
Bai Ranran reached out to pull his arm . “Xiaotian, can't you stay with me for a while more?”
“I've some matters to settle . I'll come and see you tomorrow . Rest well . ” He turned and left .
Bai Ranran suddenly threw the bowl of dumplings on the table, the soup spilling out a little . Her eyes glistened with slight dissatisfaction . As a woman, she believed her instinct was the most accurate and her heart was the most sensitive . Ever since Mo Li left, it was obvious that he was not himself . It was evident, since she had heard the two of them had an unusual relationship . Considering that Mo Li had been supplying blood to her, as well as Xiaotian's denial, she did not think further .
Now, it seemed, Mo Li was indeed special to him .
About half an hour later…
The door was pushed open . Bai Ranran looked on fixedly, and Sun Weiwei came with a fruit basket .
Towards this Godsister of Ye Xiaotian, Bai Ranran had never felt fond .
“What are you here for?”
“To see you, of course . ” Sun Weiwei placed the fruit basket on the table . “How have you been lately?”
“It's none of your business . ” Bai Ranran laid down . She couldn't be bothered to hold a conversation with her .
“Sister Ranran, how could you say that? I'm just concerned about you . ” Sun Weiwei flashed a sweet smile . “Oh, Sister Ranran, don't pull a long face . Brother Xiaotian hasn't been in a good mood lately . If he's given you the cold shoulder, I'll help you to talk to him about it . ”
Bai Ranran could not listen any longer . “You're just a mere Godsister, who do you think you are? Who asked you to help me talk to him?”
Sun Weiwei's face turned ugly slightly . “Brother Xiaotian said you have no one to talk to, he asked me to come and keep you company . ”
“No need . ” Bai Ranran's tone was cold and indifferent .
Sun Weiwei was already cursing inside by now . If Ye Xiaotian hadn't called her especially, she would never have came to see this sickly face .
“In that case, I won't stay here to be snubbed . ” She turned and left in a huff .
The moment the door was closed shut, Bai Ranran grunted, “Annoying vixen . ”
Compared to a mild and gentle blood donor like Mo Li, she hated someone like Sun Weiwei more . She was a female actress with nothing but a superb body and sharp face .
Sun Weiwei got onto her nanny van, her voice dripping with sarcasm . “Might as well drop dead from her illness . What a wretched thing, she thinks she's a queen . ”
Her assistant enquired, “Sister Weiwei, what's wrong?”
“Nothing much . I'm just curious about what illness this sickly thing has . How mysterious . ”
“You can just ask Young Master Ye and you'll know . ”
“I've asked that before, he told me not to probe into it . ” Sun Weiwei lowered her head and picked into her nails . “It must be something serious . If not, after so long, why does she still have to go to the hospital every few days?”
“Sister Weiwei, there's a dinner engagement tonight to discuss about the new show . Sister Huang instructed you to attend it dressed nicely, she said it's a major production . ”
“Got it . I'll have to drink and entertain a bunch of ugly men again . ” Sun Weiwei said pensively, “When I become a rich man's wife, I'll be like An Xiaoning . Do you think I'll still need to earn money through acting? I'll stay at home to count my money everyday . ”
“Then next time when we're working for commercials, you should put in more effort when you see unmarried businessmen, Sister Weiwei . ”
“Bullshit . How many of them are still unmarried? And the married ones are only those old fogies . That woman Mo Li has a good life, she could become a princess consort by finding a divorced businessman who's also a member of royalty overseas . That's because Mo Li's mother worked for Long Tianze's family . Given Long Tianze's close relationship with Jin Qingyan, she could easily get Jin Qingyan to pull strings for her . Without that, she couldn't have possibly gotten married!”
