Chapter 482: 482, you’re competing with me for a man?

Realising what he was about to do, Mo Weiyi’s heart started to race suddenly.

Although in such matters, Xiao Yebai was always dominant, almost to the point of rudeness.

However, in public, he maintained an image of a well-cultured, rational, and calm Director Xiao.

She always shamelessly leaned on him, but he would never engage in public displays of affection…let alone…

Could it be that he wanted to kiss her now?

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, Mo Weiyi was so nervous that she almost held her breath. Naturally, her eyes landed on his thin lips.

However…

After a moment of waiting, she realized that he had not made any further moves.

Mo Weiyi’s feelings gradually cooled down.

She looked into the pair of peachy eyes behind the glasses; they were black, beautiful, unfathomably deep, resembling two deep oceans. They were so impenetrable that you couldn’t decipher any emotions from them.

Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, unsure whether she was feeling disappointed or something else.

As she straightened up, her clenched fists rose between them, just when she was about to forcefully push him away, he suddenly lowered his head.

Mo Weiyi’s eyes widened in surprise.

…

…

…

Xiao Yebai’s actions were brazen.

Everyone at the scene, no matter the angle, clearly saw the reality of it.

Everyone was stunned by the scene unfolding before them.

The quiet private room felt like a silent romantic drama was playing out.

The lead actor in the silent play was handsome and apathetic, holding the gorgeous and proud leading lady.

Her eyes were closed, cheeks were flushed, and it seemed like she had completely submitted to the man’s arms.

…

The research institution in America was one of the world’s top institutions, with numerous Chinese students, most of whom were exceptional talents from various countries.

So, when Xiao Yebai first entered the school, he was low-profile and always independent. Despite his good looks, he initially went unnoticed.

Until the first annual exam, when he, as a Chinese student, took the first place, leading by a significant margin from the second place. After that, his fame surged, which attracted the attention of many female students who wanted to pursue him.

However, he was like an emotionless being. Regardless of how beautiful, sexy, or passionate the women were, from different countries, with varied family backgrounds, all shapes, sizes, styles, no one could catch his eye.

Because of their close association, Zhan Yao was several times asked if Xiao Yebai was gay.

Otherwise, why would he be so apathetic?

Now, seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman kissing, it was as if ten thousand “what the hell?” raced through his mind.

Gay?

Apathetic?

Isn’t this situation quite passionate?

Perhaps some men just show their passion to the women they genuinely care about.

With a “clink,” Tian Ye dropped his bottle of beer onto the table.

He didn’t know if it slipped or he did it intentionally, but the sound was rather loud.

The quiet room seemed to be awakened, everyone promptly returned to their senses, averting their eyes.

Mo Weiyi also seemed to wake up from a trance.

She opened her eyes and found herself completely in the man’s arms, with Xiao Yebai kissing her.

It was only when their eyes met that she realized; he didn’t close his eyes.

Mo Weiyi suddenly recalled a saying.

When a man kisses a woman with his eyes opened, it means he’s not invested in the kiss.

But she felt dazed during their kiss, lost her senses…

She couldn’t help but feel angry, vigorously pushing him away.

This time, Xiao Yebai didn’t resist, pulling away quickly.

“Cough.” Zhan Yao’s voice echoed in the room, “Yebai, your lips are covered with lipstick.”

“Pfft!” Ye Bei also let out a laugh.

Xiao Yebai sat there, his beautiful features still intact, with not a trace of awkwardness or embarrassment. It was as if the man who passionately kissed her in front of everyone wasn’t him.

Mo Weiyi was furious, but she still took out a tissue and wiped his thin, handsome lips.

Meanwhile, she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eyes.

She saw Tian Ye’s gaze.

Facing Mo Weiyi’s almost imperceptible taunt, Tian Ye finally couldn’t sit still. He elegantly stood up and said, “I’m going to the restroom.”

As soon as she approached the door, Zhan Yao suddenly shouted, “Doesn’t this room have a restroom?”

Tian Ye’s silhouette stiffened for a moment, then casually remarked, “I’m going to get the waiter for more drinks.”

Zhan Yao laughed, “Then I’ll go with you.”

Having said that, he rose and followed her out.

Mo Weiyi took her eyes back and sweetly continued to wipe the man’s lips.

Trying to steal my man?

Hmm.

I’ll make your life miserable!

In the corridor, Zhan Yao caught up with her, “So, are you upset?”

Tian Ye gave him a cold glance, “I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

“Haha, you’re so smart, how could you not know what I’m saying?” Zhan Yao took out a lighter and a cigarette, lighting a stick for himself while walking.

Tian Ye didn’t say anything, just kept walking, until she came to the public women’s restroom. She stopped and looked at Zhan Yao, “Are you going to follow me in there too?”

Zhan Yao took a puff of his thin cigarette, looked at her with scrutiny on his fair handsome face, “Tian Ye, don’t blame me for not warning you. You’ve seen the relationship between Yebai and the Little Princess just now. Do you think there’s still a chance for you?”

“Are you done?” Tian Ye coldly looked at him.

Unmoved, Zhan Yao continued, “Forget about them having feelings for each other, even if they don’t, do you think that Yebai, with his special status, would abandon the Little Princess to be with you?”

Fear finally flickered across Tian Ye’s beautiful face.

Then, she suddenly responded, “It’s precisely because of his special status that there’s no love between them. Yebai doesn’t even like her. He was forced to marry her by the Mo Family.”

Zhan Yao chuckled lightly, “After almost seven years of acquaintance, Tian Ye, I never expected that you are so good at deceiving yourself.”

He fiercely sucked the last bit of the cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and ground it with his leather shoe, “Given that guy’s personality, do you think he would agree to marry her if he wasn’t truly in love with her?”

“…”

“Furthermore.” Zhan Yao raised an eyebrow suggestively, “Whether it’s beauty, power, or status, do you think you can offer him more than the Little Princess?”

Having said that, he left without waiting for her reply.

Tian Ye stood there for a while, her fingernails digging deeply into her palm, almost breaking the skin.

By the time Zhan Yao returned to the private room, the waiter had already served the food.

Mo Weiyi ate a few bites of broccoli, half a plate of pasta, then put down her cutlery.

“Little Princess, can you drink?” Zhan Yao shook a bottle of beer at her.

“Sure.” Mo Weiyi picked up a new bottle of beer, clinked it against his, and brought it to her lips.

She thought Xiao Yebai would stop her, after all, every time she wanted to drink, he usually found some excuse to stop her?

But now, he was drinking his beer as if he hadn’t even noticed her actions.

Feeling slighted, Mo Weiyi picked up her bottle and chugged down the beer.

Zhan Yao across from her was almost dumbstruck.

Good heavens, a real tough lady!

Until Mo Weiyi…

“Cough cough cough!”

Zhan Yao quickly interjected, “That’s enough, you’ve made your point.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Awkward!

She felt so embarrassed.

The truth was that she really couldn’t hold her liquor very well.

As she put down the bottle, Ye Bei leaned over, “Miss Mo, let me toast you.”

Mo Weiyi gave him a sweet smile, “Sure.”

She lightly touched his bottle with hers and quickly finished off the rest of the half bottle of beer.

Ye Bei’s eyes were filled with undisguised amazement and admiration, “Miss Mo, I didn’t expect you to hold your liquor so well, and moreover, you’re even more beautiful than you are in the photos in the newspapers and magazines.”

Mo Weiyi looked at him, her cheeks flushed, “Are you saying I’m not photogenic?”

Ye Bei was startled, hastily denying, “No, no, you are very beautiful in the photos, but in reality, you’re even more approachable.”

“Approachable? What kind of adjective is that?” Mo Weiyi wrinkled her delicate brows, “Are you saying I’m ordinary looking, and couldn’t think of a good adjective to compliment me, so you used the word ‘approachable’?”

Ye Bei was left speechless, stuttering on his words.

“Enough, enough.” Zhan Yao impatiently pushed him aside, “Just go take care of your own girlfriend, if you don’t know how to compliment, then don’t.”

His girlfriend was already puffing her cheeks up angrily. Ever since this Mo Weiyi arrived, Ye Bei had been hell-bent on gravitating towards her, even after embarrassing himself he still wouldn’t come back to be with her.
