The 687th Chapter

noticed that it was intentional and her expression turned serious. Tang Shuwen said apologetically, "Sorry for making you worry."She shook her head, and Tang Shuwen reached out to wipe away her tears,...Chapter 687

Moxiao Bai rushed to the hospital as soon as he returned to Rome. Ji Bing had not yet regained consciousness, and three critical condition notices had already been issued. Mo Chen sent Fengyun to keep watch at the hospital, but even Fengyun was caught off guard when Moxiao Bai suddenly appeared there. He watched in shock as Moxiao Bai rushed all the way to the ICU entrance; Fengyun could not react immediately and hurriedly followed after him. In his anxiety, he asked how Moxiao Bai had returned from Riyadh so urgently without them receiving any prior notice.

Moxiao Bai was most concerned about Ji Bing’s condition and inquired about it from Fengyun. Fengyun explained that Ji Bing had an accident due to drunk driving but fortunately only the car was damaged, with Ji Bing suffering minor fractures and no immediate danger to his life. Mo Chen helped suppress this incident on Ji Bing's behalf, and there were no legal repercussions against Ji Bing. However, Ji Bing’s injuries were severe, preventing him from regaining consciousness.

Moxiao Bai was very worried and sought out Ji Bing’s attending physician who offered some uncertain theories. Frustrated, Moxiao Bai wanted to punch the doctor but fortunately, Ye Wei and Baimei arrived in Rome within a few hours. Seeing them as saviors, Moxiao Bai didn’t have time to ponder over why his sudden departure from Rome was suspicious nor think about why Mo Yao seemed unhappy. He focused solely on Ji Bing’s recovery and pleaded with Baimei to save him.

Baimei thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

With Baimei stepping in, Moxiao Bai felt much more at ease. Ye Wei and the others returned to the villa to rest while Moxiao Bai stayed behind at the hospital waiting for Ji Bing to regain consciousness. Mo Yao did not stay with him but went back to the villa.

Shiyi couldn’t help but remark to Mo Chen, “Why didn’t you tell Brother about this before telling Moxiao Bai”

Mo Chen later felt that his actions were unreliable. However, given Ji Bing’s condition, if he hadn't informed Moxiao Bai beforehand, there would be deeper shadows in Moxiao Bai's heart once he regained full awareness. Mo Chen believed it was important for Moxiao Bai to understand the situation regardless of how difficult it might seem; after all, Moxiao Bai owed Ji Bing a debt. Ji Bing’s accident due to Moxiao Bai’s excessive drinking could have been fatal and would haunt Moxiao Bai's life if he were to lose his life. If they didn't even get to say their last goodbye, Moxiao Bai might never fully recover from the trauma. Therefore, Mo Chen decided to tell Moxiao Bai right away.

Although it might not be appropriate to scrutinize his own behavior, he still felt that this was the best solution.

Three days later, Jì Bīng regained consciousness.

Bái Yè temporarily stayed at Mò Yáo's house. Upon hearing that Jì Bīng had woken up, Xiǎobái immediately rushed to the hospital to see her. At that moment, Jì Bīng was sleeping; she wasn't in any immediate danger but still needed about ten days of recuperation. He hadn't seen Jì Bīng for a year. She looked much more haggard and had lost weight significantly, her chin sharp, with an indescribable frailty. Without the coldness she exuded when awake, she appeared particularly heart-wrenching.

Xiǎobái held Jì Bīng's hand to his lips for a kiss. Upon sensing someone in the病房, Jì Bīng opened her eyes and saw Mò Xiǎobái right away. Her eyes instantly became moist, tears blurring her vision as she cried desperately.

She quietly shed tears, which pained him immensely.

"Jì Bīng, don't cry, I'm back," said Xiǎobái, gently wiping away her tears. Jì Bīng turned her gaze away; her body hurt slightly, and she frowned in distress. Xiǎobái quickly called the doctor to do some checks before he left. It seemed that Jì Bīng didn't want to see Xiǎobái; thinking she was upset, Xiǎobái tried to appease her with sweet words and romantic phrases.

Jì Bīng was someone easy to please if you had the right intentions. Knowing her disposition well, Xiǎobái understood her as he understood himself. He deliberately recounted the most difficult moments of his drug rehabilitation and training, which tugged at Jì Bīng's heartstrings.

"Are you okay" Even though she didn't understand why Xiǎobái wanted to break up, Jì Bīng still inquired about his injuries. He appeared to have recovered; not wanting her to worry, he assured her everything was fine. Knowing that Jì Bīng had softened, he tenderly kissed her forehead and said he missed her...

Ji Bing's tears fell, "You're lying."

Ji Bing said pitifully, "You said you missed me. You’re lying. You also said you wanted to break up with me."

This was what Ji Bing couldn’t bear the most. But Xiao Bai forgot again; she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "When did I say that I never said that."

He felt extremely wronged, but Ji Bing didn’t want to deal with him.

She thought he was being stubborn and unreasonable.

He spoke so earnestly; for months, he hadn't called her once. He had spoken in such a heartless way that she herself couldn’t bring herself to ask if it was true or not, wanting to preserve what little dignity she had left.

However, facts proved that he really was ruthless.

"You got drunk because I said we should break up" Xiao Bai asked. Ji Bing turned away awkwardly. Xiao Bai said, "I swear on my conscience, I never said it. If I did say it, punish me… just disfigure me."

Ji Bing couldn't help but laugh despite his sadness. Disfiguring Mo Baixue was already a significant punishment for him, perhaps the most severe one he could think of at the moment. The scars on his body had finally faded away; for someone who is obsessed with appearance and perfection, looks are extremely important.

Seeing her smile, he felt an overwhelming tenderness towards her and held Ji Bing's hand tightly, saying, "Ji Bing, I don't know why you would think that way. But I want to tell you, I never said anything about breaking up. Don't overthink it; I swear, I really didn't."

Ji Bing was so addicted to his warmth that she asked with a heart full of sorrow, "You really haven't mentioned it"

Baixue nodded seriously. Ji Bing tried to convince himself that he truly hadn’t said anything about breaking up, and thus her months of anguish would be in vain. She hoped the truth was as Baixue had said; maybe he didn’t mention breaking up. But she couldn't forget Baixue's voice, even though it sounded so heavy with sorrow. She bitterly thought that perhaps Baixue was overly concerned about her wellbeing and worried she might do something rash, so he decided not to break up.

Ji Bing wasn’t a woman who would settle for second best; she always wanted to have the whole of Mo Baixue, and such compromise wasn't acceptable. She had once heard Bai Xia say that he liked someone else, and she needed to know who it was.

But as Baixue didn't tell her, her curiosity grew stronger.

Ji Bing held back tears but faced Bai Xia bravely, swallowing any委屈, no matter how big. She couldn’t take the risk of losing him; she couldn't imagine life without him and what she would do then.

Mò Bái Xuě could not bear to see her sad, "Don’t cry, okay"women around him and lost all interest. Now, however, his mind was elsewhere. Ye Feimo mocked himself with a bitter smile; apparently, he wasn't dependent on Warm after all. Apparently...He wasn't as...
