The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 523: chat for tea

Mo Xiaobai shrugged, indicating that his words were absolutely true. Wen Nuan was genuinely stunned. She thought Mo Xiaobai was joking, but it turned out to be true. Ye Feimo really was upstairs from her. That was Xiao Hei’s voice...

For the first time, she hated how short the distance between the two floors was; he heard Mo Xiaobai’s voice the moment he called.

Compared to Wen Nuan’s embarrassment, Ye Feimo was more furious. That little rascal, Mo Xiaobai! He had already warned him not to talk nonsense and not to tell Wen Nuan anything. He didn’t want Wen Nuan to know he was in America.

She had said such harsh words to him, and the moment she got into trouble, he rushed over, only to end up in such a sorry state. How could he bear it? He didn’t want Wen Nuan to know how pathetic he was, nor did he want her to know how foolish he had been.

What could be more tragic for a man who had been abandoned than loving the woman who abandoned him?

He didn’t want Wen Nuan to pity him, didn’t want her to feel burdened, and didn’t want to talk to her or see her. Knowing that Wen Nuan was safe, he wanted to leave America as soon as he recovered and never do such a foolish thing again.

Even without him, Wen Nuan had someone she could trust and rely on. Du Di could handle everything for her; to Wen Nuan, he was dispensable, truly unimportant.

Therefore, he no longer needed to rush in so eagerly, making himself feel so pathetic.

Mo Xiaobai’s thoughts were completely opposite. He and Wen Nuan were always avoiding certain issues. Communication is essential between people; remaining silent and presumptuous is not the best way to communicate.

He worried about Wen Nuan, cared for her, and loved her. Letting her know wasn’t shameful or disgraceful. If Wen Nuan knew, she would only rethink their relationship, worry about his health, and understand that they both loved each other and had sacrificed for one another—why fear the other knowing?

Ye Feimo was stubborn, so Mo Xiaobai acted as a peacemaker.

He genuinely hoped that Ye Feimo and Wen Nuan could return to their former happy state.

Family harmony was the most important thing.

This family seems to have a troubled love life. Ye Feimo’s life isn’t going well, his sister’s isn’t going well, and he’s not going well either. Everyone has their own troubles, but for two people to be together is no simple matter.

"Little cousin-in-law," Mo Xiaobai said with a slight smile, "in a movie I once starred in, I asked my leading lady if I only had one day to live. She answered yes, even if it was just for an hour. At least while alive, one has no regrets. I think my little cousin thinks the same way. When you left, did you think about what would happen if his stomach cancer couldn’t be cured? Would you let him leave this world with regrets?" He added, "Think about it carefully. He’s upstairs. I don’t think the doctor will approve his discharge within five days."

In other words, if Wen Nuan wanted to see Ye Feimo, she could just go upstairs.

They were separated only by a ceiling, upstairs and downstairs. Mo Xiaobai said, "Your cousin once knocked down the ceiling for you. I think you should also have the courage to break down the ceiling between you two."

After saying that, he left the warm ward. Du Di and his men stood far away, not listening to their conversation. Du Di also knew about Ye Yan and Wu Shuang’s relationship and nodded. Mo Xiaobai and Du Di weren’t familiar with each other and didn’t talk much before going upstairs. Wen

Nuan lay in bed, her heart pounding. Upstairs and downstairs, it was indeed just a wall separating them, but it wasn’t that simple. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She had finally taken a step forward, and now she had to turn back?

If it happened again, could she afford to gamble?

She had made up her mind to leave, and only a few months later, she already regretted it?

Fei Mo...

Du Di didn’t disturb her. Wen Nuan closed her eyes, her mind filled with thoughts of Ye Fei Mo.

...

As soon as Mo Xiaobai entered, Ye Feimo narrowed his eyes dangerously. He hurriedly waved his hand, "Cousin, cousin, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. It’s no big deal. What’s done is done, why be afraid of people finding out? Your wife will be heartbroken if she finds out."

"Get out!" Ye Feimo uttered a single word hoarsely. His voice wasn’t much better than Wen Nuan’s, even lower and hoarse, quite unpleasant to hear. Mo Xiaobai missed his cousin’s magnetic voice.

"Getting angry out of embarrassment?" Mo Xiaobai raised an eyebrow. He wasn’t one to listen to reason. "Hey, your wife isn’t doing very well. I thought you wanted to hear it." Ye Feimo was

furious, but he managed to suppress his temper. Mo Xiaobai knew exactly how to hit his nerve. Wen Nuan wasn’t doing well? How was she not doing well? Was it serious? Even men couldn’t withstand the FBI’s brutal methods. She was so delicate, she definitely couldn’t handle it. Had she developed some kind of health problem?

Ye Feimo was feeling uneasy, kept in suspense by Mo Xiaobai, but he wouldn’t say anything. Ye Feimo’s face turned cold. "What’s wrong with her?"

"Didn’t you tell me to get lost?" Mo Xiaobai looked at her little cousin with a wronged expression. "You really hurt me. I gave up such a lucrative advertising deal to come and save the day, and even came to break down the barriers between you, but you don’t appreciate it. Little cousin, you can’t be like this. You’re making me very sad."

She said she was sad, but there was no trace of sadness on her face. Ye Feimo couldn’t take it anymore. "Mo Yeyan!"

Seeing that he was truly angry, Mo Xiaobai stopped playing around. "Her neck injury is quite serious; she might need half a month of rest. The other injuries are all external. The FBI’s secret interrogation was truly inhuman; they used iron chains to hang her up and down, showing no mercy whatsoever."

Ye Feimo’s face turned very ugly upon hearing this. He had seen Du Di carrying her out, but he couldn’t see her face and didn’t know how badly she was injured. When he woke up, Mo Xiaobai was there. He asked about Wen Nuan’s condition, but Mo Xiaobai said Wen Nuan hadn’t woken up yet. He was extremely worried upon hearing this; just from hearing it, he knew she was seriously injured. If he could get out of bed, he would have gone to ask the doctor himself.

Hearing Xiaobai’s words, he even felt like killing those investigators.

Mo Xiaobai, noticing his murderous intent, couldn’t help but say, "Little cousin, impulsiveness is the devil. Things will be fine once this is over. You don’t want Wen Nuan to be called in for a chat by the FBI again, do you?"

This wasn’t a chat for tea; a chat for tea was considered polite, at least allowing for questioning in a bright office.

A chat for water was happening in a basement interrogation room.

Ye Feimo rolled his eyes at Mo Xiaobai. Did he really need to remind him of this?
