Eleven’s hands felt numb because of how Birmingham was shaking her hands. She could not help but take back her hands. She really had no idea how to deal with such a shameless person. It would be better if she did not know him. Anyone would be terrified of her if she stared at them coldly. But Birmingham was not afraid of her and even kept pestering her. She must have done something last time that made him feel that she was easy to bully.
She really had no idea how to deal with him. His personality was so straightforward that she was afraid of meeting such people again because she knew she would always lose.
Mo Jue looked at Ye Wei coldly. He did not care about Eleven and only cared about his Wei Wei. There was no way she could leave him. If not, he would definitely fly into a rage. Birmingham received the threatening and sinister warning from Mo Jue, so he tried all he could to make Eleven stay.
Mo Jue’s Knights of the Apocalypse were shocked by his hooligan manner. Although he was usually like this, his shamelessness had reached a new level today. The only thing he did not do was to kneel down and cry while begging Eleven.
Eleven could not help but ask Ye Wei for help, and Ye Wei laughed. “Birmingham, your big boss should be the one asking her to stay. You should be shouting beside Big Boss Mo’s bed that his wife is going to get married and give birth and that he should wake up and be the nanny. I promise you that Big Boss Mo will definitely wake up.”
Birmingham, “…”
Everybody, “…”
Once she said that, Birmingham’s voice suddenly stopped. ‘Miss Ye, you’re really extreme.’
Cloud could not help but laugh. Mo Jue glared at him. She immediately acted serious, as if it was their illusion that she was laughing just now. But Cloud acted until she was internally injured.
Birmingham did not dare to compete with Ye Wei in terms of eloquence as he would definitely lose. Therefore, he was smart to act as if he was wronged in front of Eleven, as if a dog waiting for his owner to dote on him.
He looked very funny.
A smile flashed past Eleven’s cold eyes.
Ye Wei said, “Gorgeous Mo Jue, go away if you don’t want to fight.”
“You really want to leave?”
Ye Wei nodded and did not want to talk anymore. Eleven said calmly, “You guys can have a talk. I will wait for you outside.”
When Eleven walked past Mo Jue, her snow-liked gaze landed on him gently, and Mo Jue looked at her coldly too. Both of them understood each other’s meaning and Mo Jue clearly expressed that he did not allow Ye Wei to leave. Eleven also clearly expressed that he could not stop Ye Wei if she wanted to leave.
Eleven walked out of the hall calmly and Mo Jue’s purple gaze looked more sinister than before. He knew that Eleven’s stance was strong and he could not stop her. If Ye Wei insisted on going, then he really could not stop her.
Even if he teamed up with Mo Ye, they still would not be able to win against Eleven, much less if it was him alone.
Cloud looked at Mo Jue’s Knights of the Apocalypse, and they all left, leaving Ye Wei and Mo Jue alone. Ye Wei was all smiles and did not seem nervous. She quietly waited for Mo Jue to walk nearer.
He stared at her in a sinister manner. It was already four in the morning and the sky was getting bright. It was the time where people were sleeping soundly. After Eleven and the rest went out, the vast hall was very quiet. There was only the sound of the electronic instrument, and Mo Jue’s footsteps could be heard clearly.
As he got closer, the eerie aura became heavier. It was as if someone had stepped on his bottom line, and he was restraining himself.
Ye Wei felt strange in her heart. It seemed that this was the first time he got really angry. He had never been so angry before even on the island where she tried hard to make him angry.
That gaze made her feel scared.
“I want to leave,” Ye Wei calmly said first. “I have been too tired lately. Mo Jue, give me some time to relax.”
Mo Jue’s eyes became more sinister as he gritted his teeth. Too tired and wanted to leave? Were these her thoughts? Did he make her feel tired? Why? He had already tried his best to listen to her and satisfy her, but why did she still want to leave her?
He did not understand what he had to do to make Ye Wei stay by his side forever.
He had a strong feeling that she would never come back once she left. He did not want to bet on this possibility.
He suddenly grabbed tightly onto her wrist. Mo Jue’s eyes were like a scary ghost and he said furiously, “Wei Wei, have you ever thought that I will be tired too? You can go and come back as you wish, but have you thought about me?”
“What do you mean I can go and come back as I wish? When have I done that? Don’t talk about the past as I don’t remember anything. I’m tired and want to take a break, but you don’t allow me to! Do you want to lock me up forever?” Ye Wei laughed, but her tone did not sound like she was laughing at all.
Mo Jue gritted his teeth as he stared at her. He really wanted to strangle her to death. In this way, there wouldn’t be a person called Ye Wei in this world that could torture him.
She made him feel afraid of losing her, always worried about losing her, thinking about her, and doing all means to make her stay.
He was tired too.
But she did not care.
Ye Wei really wanted to slap this idiot awake. Did he have to act like he wanted to eat someone? It was not as if she was not going to come back! She could not help but say, “Mo Jue, you’re not the only one in my world. I still have my family and friends. The tension between the Top Terrorist Organization and the Mafia is so bad right now, and I am already trying my best to not be in contact with them so that you won’t be attacked. For the sake of whom do I not care about them anymore? Now that I am tired, I can’t even have the freedom to go out? Don’t talk about us being a couple. Even if we are married, can’t I go out with my friends to play? Do I have to be with you for 365 days a year? Can you be fairer?”
“Where do you want to go? I’ll follow you,” Mo Jue said solemnly.
Ye Wei shook her hands. “Damn, why don’t you understand me? Do you think I’m your belonging? Can’t I have some freedom? Mo Jue, can you respect my wish?”
“I want to go with you!”
“Scram!” Ye Wei scolded him and closed her eyes to calm herself down. “Why should I let you follow me? What a joke! You have your own friends and your own time, so why do you have to follow me?”
“I don’t!” Mo Jue said solemnly. “I am always with you other than when I’m working.”
He did not mind being with Ye Wei for the whole day if he did not have to work.
Ye Wei was startled and thought about it, and it was indeed true. He did not have any friends and Mo Ye was his only family member. He had given all his time to her. Her anger suddenly disappeared.
This fellow really did not think like normal people. He did not care about how other couples were like together. He only thought of how he treated her like the only one and she had to treat him like he was her only one too. He wanted her to treat him like how he treated her.
This kind of thought made her unable to get angry.
“I don’t want to talk to you. The more we talk, the more you don’t understand me.” Ye Wei sighed and walked past him. But Mo Jue held onto her arms tightly and gritted his teeth to ask, “Is it because of Daiya?”
Ye Wei was startled. Since when was he so smart? It was not exactly because of Daiya. She would be too amateur to leave just because of a woman. Daiya was just a small part of the reason. There were many other things that made her tired. But it was a miracle for Mo Jue to be able to think of it.
“No!”
“Nonsense. Birmingham said it is,” Mo Jue said solemnly. “I only talk about work with her and nothing else. You can ignore all the gossips. If you don’t like it, I can announce to everyone that I’m married and have a wife.”
In his heart, Ye Wei was his only wife and nobody could change this fact.
“You must be crazy to believe Birmingham’s words!” Ye Wei thinned her lips. She felt that he was cute, but she was also angry. Mo Jue was such an arrogant person, yet he asked Birmingham about his relationship issues and this made her pity him. She even thought of how uncomfortable he must have been and how awkward his expressions must have been. She was touched by how such an arrogant person would do this for her.
But she was also angry at how he could not understand her.
“Then, why do you have to leave me?” Mo Jue was angry and suddenly shouted.
Ye Wei really wanted to kick him. “Since when did I say that I want to leave you? I only want to take a break! I will still come back to you, so don’t be so unsatisfied.”
Mo Jue was lost for words.
Ye Wei could not help but roll her eyes and sigh. She admitted that she did it on purpose because he really made her angry. She said lightly, “Wait for me for a while. I will come back.”
“You’re lying!” Mo Jue stared at her angrily and said in a sulky manner. “You are never coming back once you leave.”
“Who told you that?”
“I don’t need anyone to tell me. I just know. Wei Wei, can you not leave? I will accompany you if you want.” He was even more worried if she was with Eleven because Eleven had always been more important than him in Wei Wei’s heart. If she went with Eleven and missed her past carefree life, she really would not come back.
“Mo Jue, I swear that I will come back. I also swear that I will not be in contact with the people in the Top Terrorist Organization. Is that enough?” Ye Wei said patiently and hesitated for a while before saying, “If you don’t want me to really be tired of this life and really leave you, you’d better let me go for a while.”
