Chapter 357: Untitled
Mo Jue looked at Ye Wei intently. Under the sun, a pair of purple eyes was bright and clear as a newborn baby’s. They were pure, thorough, and not stained by the evilness of the world. In addition, he was handsome in appearance. At first sight, they looked really amazing.
Ye Wei had a special appreciation for beauty, but she had seen all kinds of beauties in her life. She had been acting nonchalantly, having her own way all her life, and had never stopped for anyone. Even Su Man, she was only attracted to him for a while. He didn’t make her feel as much as Mo Jue.
What if that guy cheated her feelings?
There was a trace of tyrannical murderous air below Ye Wei’s eyes. She had to take Mo Jue’s life for sure. There was absolutely no doubt about it. Previously at the seaside, she could shoot him without hesitation, right at the heart. Now, there were no reasons why she could not do it. Ye Wei’s actions always showed her ruthlessness, leaving no mercy at all.
“My brother?” Mo Jue looked at Ye Wei, confused. Light bewilderment flashed past his purple eyes. “Wifey, why are you searching for my brother?”
“You know where he is?” Ye Wei wrapped her arms around Mo Jue’s neck. She laughed and danced wildly. “Come, tell your wife. Where is your dear big brother? Your wife has something to talk to him about.”
Mo Jue looked at Ye Wei. Suddenly, he said, “Wifey, I don’t like your smile.”
Ye Wei was stunned. She narrowed her dark jade-like eyes and her gaze was cold instead of being enchanting. At that moment, Ye Wei was elegant, domineering, and gave off an aggressive and dangerous vibe. It seemed like her elegant dominance had filled the air, which stressed people out.
Mo Jue, knowing that he had said the wrong things, hurriedly took Ye Wei’s hand and rubbed his fair, pinkish face on Ye Wei’s shoulder. He was acting exactly like a child and being all affectionate. “Wifey, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Marshmallow has said the wrong thing. Don’t be angry at Marshmallow…”
His purple eyes were foggy, as if in the blink of an eye, his tears would fall down. He looked so pitiful that one would hug him tightly, love him, and not let this beautiful person feel sadness at all.
Ye Wei gazed at Mo Jue deeply. If Mo Jue was really pretending, she wouldn’t believe it even if she was reincarnated. Suddenly, she missed the treacherous, cold, and cruel Mo Jue.
‘This little idiot… When is he going to get better?’
She didn’t dislike the current Mo Jue. It was just that he had become too different from his previous personality. She felt that it was very magical and wanted to meet that Mo Jue again. Otherwise, she would think that the Mo family had triplets instead of twins.
“Wifey, are you really angry?” Seeing that Ye Wei had not responded for a long time, Mo Jue was sad. His nose had turned red and he bit his lips as if he was wronged. He wanted to speak but his words got in the way. The way he looked at Ye Wei was like a puppy that was about to be abandoned by its owner.
Ye Wei’s heart softened. She finally knew why she stopped missing the past Mo Jue. It was because the present Mo Jue had made her at a loss of what to do. As soon as he looked like that, everything seemed to not matter anymore and she couldn’t help but comfort him and feel sorry for him. It was a strange feeling to Ye Wei. She would rather him go back to being the Mo Jue in the past, the Mo Jue who was well-matched in strength with her and had no mercy in fights.
Not the Mo Jue who was as naive and ignorant as a child.
“Why don’t you like your wife’s smile?” Ye Wei was struck by a thought and asked. Her dark eyes were like a wise spring, clear but aggressive. They were tightly locked on the face of Mo Jue.
Mo Jue was flustered and quickly shook his head. He pouted his pinkish lips. “Wifey, I like you. I like everything about you. I don’t dislike your smile.”
“Marshmallow, I hate liars.” Ye Wei’s face sank and looked extremely angry. It was as though a storm was about to break out. She had always smiled enchantingly and looked extremely harmless. However, when her face really sank, she looked very frightening. Her aura would even make Eleven and Mo Ye uncomfortable.
Mo Jue was about to cry. Ye Wei frowned. He opened his arms and embraced Ye Wei in a hurry. His voice sounded like he was about to cry. “Don’t be angry, wifey. Don’t be angry. I’ll say it. I’ll tell you. I don’t want wifey to hate me. Don’t hate me…”
Ye Wei was expressionless and Mo Jue thought about it for a moment. He then said softly, “Your smile is… not sincere.”
He thought about it. He didn’t know how to describe it. He could only say that it didn’t look sincere. Her smile seemed to be deliberate. Sometimes, it was too enchanting and sometimes it looked like it was seductive on purpose. Sometimes, it was too charming and looked like she was scheming. He just hadn’t seen Ye Wei’s sincere smile yet at all.
Even her smile made people feel sorry for her. It was serious and forced. He would rather Ye Wei not smile if she didn’t want to.
Ye Wei looked at Mo Jue and kept quiet. Suddenly, she remembered that Mo Jue used to say something like this. He said that her smile was hypocritical. After he became an idiot, he sugarcoated his words.
‘Not sincere.’
‘Humph!’
“Wifey, don’t you hate me, okay? I’ve told you the truth.” Mo Jue begged pitifully, holding Ye Wei’s clothes and not letting go. He was afraid that Ye Wei would leave him. He regretted what he had said.
“I don’t hate you,” Ye Wei said and smiled again. It was hard for other people’s words to affect her. She was the Ye Wei who always did things her own way and didn’t care if the others liked it or not. “Marshmallow, come on. Tell me. Where is your brother?”
Mo Jue shook his head, looking puzzled. “I don’t know.”
“Find him.” Ye Wei had a charming smile as she threatened. “Or else, I would not want you anymore.”
“Wifey, don’t be hard on me.” Mo Jue pouted. He looked pure and lovely. Ye Wei couldn’t help but reach out and rub his pinkish cheek. He was so cute that she couldn’t take her hands off him.
“I’m not being hard on you. Isn’t it normal for you to look for your brother?” Ye Wei laughed.
“You wouldn’t want me anymore if I found my brother.” Mo Jue seemed to feel something too and refused to do it no matter what. This time, he was not afraid that he’d make his wife angry. He threw a tantrum and bit his lips innocently as if he was wronged.
Ye Wei smiled faintly. It was indeed Mo Jue. He’s still so sharp and observant even though he had become like that. Or maybe it was true that every side of Mo Jue was sharp and intelligent. It was kind of impressive, but…
“I won’t abandon you.” Ye Wei guaranteed. She embraced Mo Jue, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him. He would definitely not let go of Ye Wei, who had taken the initiative to kiss him. He sucked on her tongue and kissed her endlessly.
Aggressively, impulsively, with treacherous passion like in the past. For a moment, Ye Wei mistakenly thought that Mo Jue had recovered.
Their lips separated and Ye Wei said, “Marshmallow, be good. Find out where your elder brother is and I promise not to abandon you.”
“Really?” Mo Jue hesitated. His expression was obviously saying that ‘Wifey, I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you at all.’
Ye Wei wanted to crack his head open with a slap. He dared to question her words and put on such an expression. Did he think that his life was too long? Instead of hitting him on the back of the head, the hand inexplicably rubbed Mo Jue’s long hair.
She was a little stunned. His hair was extremely soft and smooth like silk. Ye Wei could not help but admire him. ‘This man is really God’s son. He’s unbelievably perfect from head to toe.’
“Really,” Ye Wei said with an enchanting smile that Mo Jue didn’t like. What’s the matter? Why should she please him? She had been smiling like this for more than ten years. It didn’t matter if it was sincere or fake.
“I have one more condition then.” Mo Jue raised his index finger diffidently.
Ye Wei was really a meticulous person. She smiled attractively and cutely. “Say it. What’s the condition?”
“You’ll have to marry me once I find my brother.” Mo Jue’s pair of purple eyes was full of pure happiness and expectations. His face turned red faintly and he looked incredibly beautiful.
Ye Wei had a mesmerizing and gorgeous smile on her face. However, in her heart, she was extremely angry. How she wished she could pounce on him and bite him. ‘Damn it, how dare he bargain with me! Does he not want to live anymore?’
She was losing her patience.
Looking at his expression, Ye Wei wanted to pour cold water on him. However, words got in her way. This feeling was torturous.
Ye Wei lost her cool.
Since Mo Jue became like this, it seemed that she always had the upper hand and was directing Mo Jue on what to do. But in fact, she was the one who was disadvantaged and had been humiliated. This mood that she felt could not be explained in merely a few words.
‘Do I have to be controlled by this little idiot all my life now?’
The more Ye Wei thought about it, the more distorted she was. Anger flashed past her dark eyes. She did not like the feeling of being controlled by others. When one reached the level of Ye Wei, she would not lack fame or wealth. She was always unrestrained and nonchalant. Hence, the fact that she was affected by others emotionally…
She didn’t like it.
“Marshmallow…”
Before she finished, Mo Jue interrupted her words, and his purple eyes shed two tears. “Wifey, don’t you want to marry me? Do you hate me? Why? Why? I don’t want to, I don’t want to…”
Ye Wei was helpless and at a loss for words. She slapped Mo Jue’s face but did not hit him hard. Mo Jue stared at her and his purple eyes teared up immediately. He gave a long sigh and pouted.
“Don’t cry!” Ye Wei shouted. It was obvious that he was going to cry out loud. There were so many people in the castle and she didn’t want Mo Jue to embarrass her. If Chu Li and Bai Ye knew that she couldn’t even take care of the little idiot, Mo Jue, how humiliated would she be?
“If you dare to cry, I’ll throw you out.” Ye Wei threatened. Mo Jue stopped himself from crying.
With tears in his eyes, he complained. “Wifey, you bully me.”
Ye Wei was so angry that she was really going to burst. Why was she stupidly wasting her time with Mo Jue? Was it that difficult to settle him? She didn’t understand how she ended up having to marry him.
‘Was he a real idiot or a fake idiot?’
“Yes, I promise. Hurry up and find your brother.” Ye Wei shouted. She could not do anything else but compromise. Damn it, how frustrating. She wasn’t just angry but very pissed off.
“Really?” Mo Jue’s eyes brightened and he wiped off his tears with the back of his hand. He rushed over, hugged Ye Wei, and kissed her without a care in the world. He was so excited and expressed his joy. “Wifey, I’ll find him for you immediately.”
Ye Wei was distorted calmly!
Bai Ye took Ning Ning to the Colosseum of ancient Rome. Because of his special identity, he had the best position at the grandstand when he got there. There happened to be a performance by gladiators and lions and they could see the fight clearly from where they were standing.
The whole Colosseum was full of people. Bai Ye said, “Ning Ning, did you hear the roar of the beast? This is the unique sound that could only be heard in the Colosseum in ancient Rome. Listen to it. Do you feel your blood boiling with passion now?”
From what Bai Ye knew, there would be a simulated naval battle that day. It was very impressive and he had seen it several times before. It had left a great impression on him. Most people actually went there for the naval battle that day. Since it was still not time yet, they went to watch the performance.
Bai Ye pointed to the field even though he knew that Ning Ning could not see it. “Ning Ning, look over there. There is a water pipeline, which will lead the water in and form a man-made lake. The soldiers will perform a naval battle on it. It’s brilliant. It doesn’t matter if you can’t see it. It’s great to hear it as well. Listen to the sonorous and loud scream. It’s even more wonderful if you could see it with your own eyes. Humans are bloodthirsty in nature. The more bloody and cruel the scene is, the more excited they are.”
“Baby, don’t you feel anything?” Bai Ye asked with a smile.
The young kid was still expressionless and indifferent. It seemed that he didn’t care about any scenes or sounds. Bai Ye knew that maybe he could hear it, and maybe he could not.
When he refused to see the world, he might also refuse to listen. For the first time, he had encountered such a condition that was hard to deal with. Although it was because of his deep mental burden, it was an illness nonetheless, a very extreme illness.
Ning Ning was not a weak person. Instead, he was very strong, steady, intelligent, and had the courage of a general. Such a person should stand at the top of the world all his life and should not be defeated.
But he was almost destroyed. Not because he was not strong enough, but because his life was too smooth-sailing.
Because he was domineering in the field of computing, no one could beat him. Because he had such a powerful backer, he had been carefree. As long as he wanted, he could control anything and everything.
It was easy for him to buy a country as well. This kind of Ning Ning was the Ning Ning who had not suffered setbacks, one who had always been standing at the top of the world.
He was different from them. They had suffered countless torments, frustrations, and setbacks before they became what they were now. When Chu Li, Jason, and he were of Ning Ning’s age, they had already faced many deaths and had to make lots of life and death choices. It was bloody and they had fought all the way to have what they had now. They were invincible from head to toe.
But Ning Ning was different.
He had always existed like a god, thinking that he could keep all the people and things he loved by his side. Once he failed to do so, he would be pulled down from the altar. He would not be able to accept it and feel guilty.
If a person’s life is too smooth-sailing, he couldn’t be called a big shot. Even if he was talented, he would not be able to move on.
This time, it was considered a test for him.
“Baby, as long as you can make it through, you will never lose again.” Bai Ye earnestly inculcated him. “Listen to this. You might not be able to hear the voice of the gladiators below, but when they first trained, they were very scared too. Not everyone has the courage to face such a fierce lion that has been starved for a few days at first. But now, they could put on a brilliant show in front of so many people with the lion. Why? Because they had suffered setbacks again and again until they felt like they were dying. However, they stood back up again and again.”
The wind blew gently. The performance had reached its peak and the roars filled the whole arena as if it would shake the place. The blazing sounds were so loud that it pierced through the sky. The wind was full of a passionate and bloody aura.
“As for the lion, it was born to be very strong. For a performance, the lion undoubtedly had the most advantage. It’s smart, agile, fast, and had sharp claws and teeth. As compared to human beings, it had too many inborn advantages. But why was he defeated? Such a fierce beast should not be defeated by gladiators, shouldn’t it?”
“Baby, do you want to be the lion or the gladiator?” Bai Ye asked with a smile and rubbed his delicate fair face with his long fingers. Ning Ning’s face was a little cold due to the wind. Bai Ye then raised his chin.
He said softly, “Come, let’s see whether you can see it or not.”
Bai Ye was not a gentle person. On the contrary, he was the most indifferent person among the terrorists. He had a gentle appearance and looked like a modest man who was as warm as jade, but his back view had always looked cool, unrestrained, reckless, and arrogant. His gaze was always cold, and it seemed like no one could walk into his heart, except for the terrorists whom he was closest to.
Like Chu Li, he had too much expectation and love for Ning Ning, so he had to work harder to make him stronger and more badass. This was the only way that he could remain at the top of the world without fear.
“Ning Ning, losing is not scary. There are memories that can be remembered in the heart forever. Losing is a kind of growth. If you haven’t lost something special in your life, how can you feel the preciousness of your gains?” Bai Ye’s voice was soft and gentle.
Ning Ning’s face was still expressionless and his dark eyes were still covered with a light layer of red. He was stupefied and watched the crazy fighting that happened below. Mad screams had filled the surroundings…
