My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day - Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051: Mo Family Princess’s Marriage [53]

It was already afternoon.

The bridal shop provided catering, but the male lead had left, and now the female lead too…

An employee stepped forward, “Excuse me, sir, when will Miss Mo return?”

Xiao Yebai, “I don’t know.”

The employee was at a loss for words, “Then…could you call Miss Mo? She still has two dresses left to try on…”

Xiao Yebai raised his left hand and glanced at the time on his watch.

After a moment, he said, “She should be back soon.”

The Little Princess of the Mo Family had loved beauty since a young age; how could she not care about something as significant as her wedding dress?

The employees exchanged glances and could only give up. “Alright then, we’ll just have to wait for Miss Mo to come back.”

They neatly packed away the main wedding gown, the white dress, and that red cheongsam, then left the VIP room.

The whole room quieted down.

Xiao Yebai sat there, flipping through a magazine without a twitch in his brow.

Time ticked by second by second.

After flipping through several magazines, he drank two cups of black coffee.

Lights in the VIP room were on, bright and warm, with a faint fragrance in the air and soft music flowing slowly.

An employee brought in new magazines.

Xiao Yebai glanced at them, then raised his left hand again.

It was already three o’clock in the afternoon.

Two hours had passed since Mo Weiyi had left.

He picked up his phone.

Actually…

The phone had been sitting on the table the whole time, constantly receiving messages and calls.

But they were all work-related.

Mo Weiyi had not called.

The man’s brow furrowed unconsciously.

Very soon.

Fleeting.

Perhaps…

Mo Weiyi might have gone to see Chu Xiuhuang.

Apart from that…

There seemed to be no other explanation.

Until…

The door to the VIP room was opened again; the employee who had served Mo Weiyi earlier walked in, “Sir.”

Xiao Yebai looked up.

“It’s like this,” the employee pointed outside, “it’s raining heavily outside, and I think Miss Mo and Mr. Chu might not come back. May I ask if you…”

Xiao Yebai put down the magazine in his hand and stood up with his phone, “Did Miss Mo call you?”

“No,” the employee explained, “but when she left just now, she left the tiara and the Traditional Chinese Wedding Dress outside, so she probably won’t be coming back.”

Xiao Yebai, “…”

A few seconds later, he nodded, “I understand.”

**

As he left the VIP room, Xiao Yebai had just reached the outside when a voice called out from behind.

“Sir, please wait a moment.”

The employee hurried over, carrying a red Hermes tote bag, “This belongs to Miss Mo, for you.”

Xiao Yebai took the tote bag, “Thank you.”

“No problem…”

After the employee left, Xiao Yebai directly dialed a number.

It was soon answered, and the voice of the housekeeper, Aunt Zhou, came through, “This is the Mo Family, may I ask…”

“Has the princess returned?” Xiao Yebai calmly interrupted.

“Oh, it’s Young Master Xiao,” Aunt Zhou hurriedly said, “The princess hasn’t come back yet. Wasn’t she with you today at the store for the wedding dress fitting? Did you finish so soon?”

Xiao Yebai furrowed his brow, “She didn’t return?”

“No,” Aunt Zhou felt something was amiss, “Young Master Xiao, weren’t you with the princess? Then…”

A loud thunder rumbled through the phone.

“The princess must be with the future son-in-law then,” Aunt Zhou said, “It’s raining heavily outside now, Young Master Xiao, drive slowly and be careful…”

“Got it.” Xiao Yebai hung up the phone.

In the hallway, the man stood in his white shirt and black trousers, stark and resolute, his beautiful features tense and his expression grim…

His whole demeanor emitted an intimidating and chilling aura.

Due to the sudden heavy rain, the mall’s shoppers seemed to be affected, hurrying along without paying any attention.

A few seconds later, Xiao Yebai turned and walked toward the elevator.

The mall’s elevator had a transparent four-sided design, and as it rapidly descended along the stairs, he inadvertently kept looking outside…

The elevator soon reached the B2 basement parking.

The door opened, and Xiao Yebai walked out alone, heading towards his parking spot.

In contrast to the bustling activity above, the underground parking was quiet and empty, with hardly any people around except for the occasional uniformed security passing by.

Finally reaching his parking spot.

The black Audi was quietly parked there, with no one else around.

Xiao Yebai suddenly curled his lips.

The fleeting smile seemed somewhat mocking.

The next second.

He opened the car door, tossing the tote bag inside.

…

The Audi left the parking lot, and as expected, it was raining heavily outside.

The wipers started working rapidly, Xiao Yebai watched the slowly moving traffic ahead, his slender fingers gripping the steering wheel, driving back expressionlessly.

Until…

A ringtone suddenly went off.

Xiao Yebai slightly turned his head.

The phone screen displayed an unknown number.

He answered the call, “Hello.”

“President Xiao.”

The familiar voice made Xiao Yebai’s pupils slightly shake, “Mr. Chu.”

“Yo, seems like you still recognize my voice well.”

Compared to Chu Xiuhuang’s nonchalant tone, Xiao Yebai remained cold, “Is there something?”

“Don’t worry, it’s not about the case,” Chu Xiuhuang chuckled twice, “Here’s the thing, something urgent came up at my company, so I had to go back to handle it earlier. The Little Princess seemed to be upset with me, she’s not answering my calls…”

Xiao Yebai quietly waited for him to finish, “So?”

What does that have to do with me?

“I tried calling her, but her phone was turned off,” Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue, “The rain is quite heavy now, be careful when you drive her back later, drive slowly.”

“…” Xiao Yebai didn’t respond.

Chu Xiuhuang seemed to sense something was amiss, “She’s with you, right?”
