"Four years ago, Manbai had only been married to you for a year. She was writing 'depressing' articles... that's when she had paranoia, which is why she started writing them. It lasted for two years until she divorced you. That was two years ago, when Mobai changed her name to Yibai..."

Rong Ning carefully explained the names Mo Bai and Yi Bai: "Isn't Mo Bai just you and her? Yi Bai... that has too many meanings, I don't quite understand it. Now that you mention it, isn't that just Man Bai?!"

Xiao Mo was filled with mixed feelings of joy and worry. He was afraid to see her, but he longed to see her even more. He had been looking for her for two years, no, it was two years, four months and seven days.

He remembers it perfectly clearly.

——

Rong Ning and Xiao Mo met at the dessert shop at nine o'clock as agreed. They arrived at eight-thirty, and this was the first time they had waited for someone.

Why choose a dessert shop? It's Xiao Mo's habit, because... Man Bai likes it.

Xiao Mo's hands were icy cold. Rong Ning suddenly grabbed his hand: "Mo Mo, take it easy."

He was reminding him not to get agitated, as they had no idea how badly Manbai's paranoia had progressed.

8:58.

The door to the dessert shop opened, and Moxi walked in. Standing at 1.88 meters tall, he seemed to have an aura about him. Today, he was wearing a peacock blue shirt in a court style, which made his skin look even whiter.

As soon as he entered, all eyes were on him, especially on his pursed lips, which exuded an air of noble elegance.

Moxi looked at Xiao Mo and Rong Ning and walked towards them.

Sit down opposite them.

"Yi, Yi Bai?" Rong Ning was completely stunned when she saw this man.

Xiao Mo was filled with disappointment. It wasn't her, it really wasn't her...

He was immersed in pain, and being given hope only to be disappointed again was like falling from the peak.

"No," Moxi asked the waiter for a milk tea and added two servings of tapioca pearls.

Rong Ning looked at the milk tea in front of him. Did this man like milk tea?

"You're not Yi Bai?"

“She’s not fit to come out and meet people; she’s not in good health,” Moxi said, taking a sip of her milk tea and gazing elegantly out the window.

"Then what is your relationship with Yi Bai?" Xiao Mo seemed to have a glimmer of hope again.

Moxi looked at them: "Childhood sweethearts."

Seeing their silence, Moxi suddenly laughed and said, "I really didn't know it was you guys."

"You know us?" Rong Ning asked, her eyes wide.

“I know you two, Xiao Mo, the boss of XM, and his childhood friend Rong Ning. I don’t think anyone in City C doesn’t know you, right?” Mo Xi said with a smile.

“Your tone doesn’t sound like it’s because of this.” Xiao Mo could clearly sense the hostility the man in front of him was towards him.

“You’re hostile towards me?” Xiao Mo looked at him with half-closed eyes.

"Really?" Moxi smiled as always. "Then let's talk about work."

"I want to see Yi Bai, or perhaps Man Bai?" Xiao Mo was not inferior in terms of aura, and he smiled.

Moxi nodded, stood up, and extended his hand to Xiao Mo: "Hello, Feng Yuanche."

"!!!" Rong Ning was even more surprised. That multinational CEO, a bigwig in the financial world!

Xiao Mo also stood up, and although reluctant, she still grasped his hand: "Xiao Mo."

Unexpectedly, Moxi replied directly, "I know, then I should politely call you 'ex-husband brother'."

Rong Ning: "Ex-ex-husband?"

Even Xiao Mo was stunned. Ex-husband?

"You're Manman's ex-husband. You're a bit older than me, so I should at least call you 'brother,' hence the nickname 'ex-husband brother.'"
