Chapter 337: 337, Sister Lin
However, she overlooked one thing – Mo Weiyi had never been pregnant. So, when she said all this, it just seemed like she was making a fuss over nothing, trying to gain sympathy…and so, no one took her seriously.
After Qu Yunyao had left, Mo Weiyi immediately called the old house and asked Uncle Shi to arrange for the gifts in the room to be sent to the Lishui Bay Villa. This way, she wouldn’t need to be continuously reminded by Qu Yunyao.
Such a nuisance.
Soon after, Xiao Yebai came back after completing the formalities.
Mo Weiyi walked up to him, hooked her arm through his, looked up at him with her beautiful bright teeth, “Xiaobai, your birthday is coming soon. This time, I want to book the presidential suite from Huashang again. Is that okay?” Xiao Yebai replied in a low voice, “Just arrange it.”
Mo Weiyi was quite pleased and made a reservation for the room on her way there.
Her previous plans had been spoiled due to the unexpected return of Xiao Zhiwei. This time, she was determined to plan well and give Xiaobai a memorable birthday!

When they got back to Lishui Bay, Xiao Yebai changed his clothes and went to the office, while Mo Weiyi took a long, relaxing beauty bath.
By the time she finished her bath, it was almost noon, and there were missed calls from Su Wanwan on her phone.
“Baby Wanwan, I’m at home. I took a sick leave because of the fever.”
“You really are like Sister Lin, if not injured, then sick. You seem to work only three days and rest two days,” Su Wanwan couldn’t help complaining.
“Hehe, I can’t accompany you for lunch today. I will accompany you tomorrow.”
“Okay, take good care of yourself.”
“Hmm.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan went to the canteen alone.
Since Mo Weiyi was not there, she planned on buying food and taking it back to the dormitory. Just as she was about to leave, someone called her
“Wanwan.”
Bai Ruwei was sitting at a table near the aisle, with an empty seat in front of her. “There’s no one here. Come sit here and eat.”
Su Wanwan hesitated for a while, but still walked over.
“Wanwan, I received a call from the Mo family this morning. They said that my application was approved, which I am so grateful for.”
“Why are you thanking me?”
“It must be you who spoke to Miss Mo for me. Wanwan, you’re really a good person. I really don’t know how I should thank you.”
“I didn’t help much besides, this matter somewhat concerns me too.” Su Wanwan felt somewhat awkward.
She always felt that the friendliness that Bai Ruwei showed was rather excessive and forcing.
Bai Ruwei laughed and then said, “Oh, by the way, Wanwan, there is a lecture in the school auditorium this afternoon. Will you attend?”
“What lecture?”
“How To Be an Excellent Woman by a painter— Chu Jingyi, who just returned from abroad.”
Su Wanwan’s face sank, “No.”
An excellent woman?
Someone like her with a deviant worldview and daring to seduce a married man can called an excellent woman?
Bai Ruwei cautiously looked at her, “Wanwan, did I say something wrong?”
“It’s not your fault.” After saying that, Su Wanwan lowered her head and started eating in silence.
Bai Ruwei didn’t dare say anything more.
After they finished eating, Bai Ruwei spoke, “Wanwan, I must go to work now. Some other day, we should go for a meal with Miss Mo.”
“No need.” Su Wanwan immediately declined.
“But I really want to thank you guys. The school fees every semester were too high, now that my request for financial aid has been approved, I can save a lot of money. I would like to treat you guys to a meal.”
“Really no need.” Su Wanwan replied, “I will be busy with my Level-4 English exam soon, and Weiyi doesn’t visit the campus often. It’s hard to find a time when we are all available. You can save the money. Even after graduation, when you start working, you will need to find a place to live. The daily expenses will need money.”
”1 understand.” Bai Ruwei nodded her head, “We will see if there is a chance later. Anyway, I will not forget the help that both of you have given me. In my eyes, you are my benefactors.”
Su Wanwan:”…”
Finally, after bidding Bai Ruwei goodbye, Su Wanwan went back to the dormitory as there were no classes in the afternoon.
Perhaps because of the impending exams, everyone in the class was busy reviewing. Even Lin Qiao wasn’t causing any trouble.
Plus, with Huo Jingshen gone on a business trip and no one to disturb her, Su Wanwan decided not to go home for a whole month!
She took out an English dictionary, laid on the bed, and started to memorize without getting distracted.
Until she received a call again.
This time it was Zhao Qianqian.
“Wanwan, there is a lecture by a beautiful female painter this afternoon. Do you want to come with me?”
“No!”
Come and listen for a while. If it’s boring, we can leave…”
“No need! If you want, you can go yourself. Goodbye!” After saying that, Su Wanwan hung up the phone.
Why is everyone suddenly interested in that lecture?
Was she expected to sit there listening to that woman talk and even applaud? No way.
Suddenly, Zhao Qianqian called again, “Wow! I know this beautiful lady, she is your uncle’s friend!”
Su Wanwan was startled, “My uncle?”
“Yes, do you remember when we met your uncle at the entrance of the eSports Bar called Hero, it’s the same gentleman, Huo Jing. He was with this lady at that time.”
Su Wanwan:”…”
Zhao Qianqian was quite excited, “Do you think, should I ask her what exactly
is her relationship with Huo Jing? Maybe…”
“You dare!”
Su Wanwan abruptly sat up from the bed, “Zhao Qianqian, if you dare to bring up Huo Jing… President Huo, I will never speak to you again!”
“Why are you so upset? There’s a Q&A session later, it would be wrong not to ask, who told you not to come?”
“Don’t you dare ask that question, do you hear me!”
“Why?”
“Just because!”
Zhao Qianqian:
So bossy, huh?
“Did you hear me?”
Zhao Qianqian coughed twice, “Yes, I got it.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan felt more and more irritated.
That damn Huo scum!
He’s not even in the country, yet he left a huge mess just to piss her off.
Zhao Qianqian wouldn’t dare ask the question now, would she?
What if she still mentions her name…
Oh My God!
Wouldn’t their relationship be exposed then?
Su Wanwan felt a bit frustrated.
She couldn’t help but open WeChat and clicked on the chat window with Huo Jingshen.
Since he announced he was going on a business trip, they hadn’t been in contact. The last text message was sent a few days ago.
She originally planned to send a message scolding him. Yet, the screen suddenly lit up and then…
“Huo Jingshen is requesting a video call with you.”
God damn it!
Su Wanwan’s already large eyes widened even more.
A video call?
She was lying on the bed, disheveled, and the room was a mess.
Su Wanwan hurriedly got up, scrambling around. She wanted to tidy things up before accepting the call, but before she was half done, the call had already been disconnected.
Then, Huo Jingshen sent a message.
Only one symbol.
[?]
Ahem.
Su Wanwan had to type and ask him, [What’s up?]
Huo Jingshen replied instantly, [Missed my baby, want to see my baby.]
Su Wanwan:
It’s only been one day since he left on his business trip!
[Inconvenient?]
Su Wanwan replied, [Yes, I’m in class right now.]
Huo Jingshen sent a default WeChat smiley emoji, then…
[Baby you are naughty again, you don’t have class this afternoon.]
Damn it!
Su Wanwan widened her eyes again, can this guy see into the future?
How did he know that she didn’t have class this afternoon?
[Give you one minute, find a place where you can video call.] Huo Jingshen’s message came again.
Su Wanwan, speechless, [Isn’t chatting like this the same?]
[Not the same, hubby wants to see his baby.]
Su Wanwan thought about it, touched up her hair, took a selfie with her phone, and then sent it over.
[There you go, beast!]

United Kingdom, London.
Huo Jingshen was about to make another video call when he saw a selfie from Su Wanwan.
From the background, it should have been taken in her dormitory.
Her black hair wasn’t tied up and her wavy curls were just right, setting off her delicate and marked face.
She didn’t wear makeup, but her beautiful phoenix eyes looking at the camera seemed like they were looking at him, filled with amorous feelings, and a beauty mark at the end of her eye adding a flirtatious touch, her direct gaze…his.
Looking downward, she was wearing a black knitted base shirt, its body-hugging V-neck design revealing her slender neck. Under the contrast of her black hair and black shirt, her delicate and slender clavicles were as tempting as white porcelain.
Huo Jingshen’s dark eyes darkened at an extraordinary speed.
She’s simply a temptress!
Just looking at this selfie, he already felt a bit…

Then, Su Wanwan received a message.
[Baby, take another one.]
Su Wanwan rolled her eyes and took another selfie and sent it over.
Who knew…
[Baby, take another one.]
Su Wanwan thought he didn’t like the photo, so she purposely stood at the window, fixed her angle, smiled, took another selfie, and sent it over.
She considered it perfect..
