Chapter 289 Bai Yan Seeks Mo Xiao's Help
“Mingzhe previously cooperated with the pirate leader Mo Xiao. He was able to escape the Drug organization’s sights with the help of Mo Xiao. If you ask Mo Xiao, you might get some clues.”
Feng Yao told Qin Yeting what he knew.
Qin Yeting's eyes lit up. After thanking him, he hung up the phone and immediately contacted Mo Xiao.
Unfortunately, Qin Yeting was a step too late.
At this moment, Mo Xiao was in the Xia family's back garden, and he had deliberately put his phone on silent so as not to be disturbed.
Opposite Mo Xiao sat his beloved, whom he had been longing for day and night.
He thought he would never get a kind word from Bai Yan again, but to his surprise, Bai Yan contacted him that night.
He was originally negotiating a billion-dollar fishing deal, but he immediately postponed the meeting, boarded a private jet, and traveled from Country A to China without sleep.
Even though he hadn't slept all night and his eyes were bloodshot, Mo Xiao's eyes still held a light, and a hint of caution.
"Have some tea first." Bai Yan handed Mo Xiao an exquisite white porcelain teacup decorated with gold trim.
Mo Xiao excitedly accepted it, reluctant to drink it.
Yanyan hadn't brewed tea for him in a very long time, so he wanted to cherish it.
When Bai Yan saw that Mo Xiao wasn't drinking, she assumed he was afraid she would poison him.
All she could say was, "It's just ordinary tea; I didn't poison it."
Seeing that Bai Yan had misunderstood, Mo Xiao quickly shook his head, gulped down the tea in one go!
However, because he drank too quickly, he choked and started coughing violently.
"Cough—cough cough—"
Seeing this, Bai Yan hurriedly handed Mo Xiao a tissue.
In the chaos, Mo Xiao grabbed Bai Yan's hand.
The white smoke was quickly drawn back, and the person looked frightened.
Mo Xiao quickly waved his hand, indicating that he did not intend to take advantage of the situation.
It took a few minutes for Mo Xiao to return to normal.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
The ruthless pirate captain, in front of the woman he loved, transformed into some kind of timid animal, cautiously explaining...
"I'm not afraid you'll poison me, I just can't bear to drink what you gave me."
"If you really poison me, even with arsenic, I will drink it without hesitation."
Mo Xiao has grown a mouth now; he can not only explain things but also say sweet nothings.
He read the dating guides Xia Yue gave him and even hired a dating expert for guidance. He was determined to win Bai Yan back, so he had to put in real effort.
Moreover, its main selling point is sincerity.
Sincerity is the best weapon.
Bai Yan was caught off guard by Mo Xiao's genuine emotions.
She hadn't expected that Mo Xiao would change so much after just a few months apart.
But soon, the white smoke calmed down again.
A leopard can't change its spots. She had long seen through Mo Xiao's true nature: cold-blooded, ruthless, cruel, and unscrupulous.
He's just acting like this now.
Just like back then, when he was being chased and was down on his luck, she took him in.
Didn't he also play an ordinary person for a while?
But once he regained power, he reverted to his old ways.
She will never be fooled so easily!
Bai Yan forced herself to calm down, ignoring the flirtatious words, and said calmly, "I invited you here today because I want to ask you for a favor."
"You said that as long as it's something you ask me to do, I'll do my best to do it, no matter what, without even flinching!" Mo Xiao promised confidently.
Bai Yan did not relax and continued, "This matter may bring you a lot of trouble, and may even attract difficult enemies."
"For you, I wouldn't even flinch if I had to stand against the whole world, let alone have a few more enemies."
Mo Xiao wasn't speaking sweet words, but rather what was truly in his heart.
Bai Yan felt that Mo Xiao was becoming increasingly glib and slick, a far cry from the decisive and authoritative big shot she knew before.
She was a little unsure whether she should ask Mo Xiao for help.
"Tell me quickly, what do you want me to help you with? I'll make preparations as soon as possible," Mo Xiao urged.
Bai Yan hesitated for a few seconds. The other party had already arrived, and the only person she could find was Mo Xiao. She had no choice but to take a gamble.
Bai Yan said, "I need your help with something about Yueyue."
“I knew it was related to her, otherwise you wouldn’t have come to me.” Mo Xiao smiled faintly, as if he already knew.
Bai Yan nodded slightly and continued to explain his intentions.
She hoped that Mo Xiao could send someone to protect Xia Yue.
Recently, Gu Chen and Qin Yeting have been coming more and more frequently.
Although Xia Yue's bodyguards were skilled, they couldn't withstand the power of the Gu and Qin families, so she had to make preparations early.
Mo Xiao's expression hardened slightly after hearing Bai Yan's request.
It wasn't that he wanted to back out, but Yancheng was Qin Yeting's territory, and it would be difficult for him to forcibly protect Xia Yue here.
Moreover, Qin Yeting and Xia Yue used to have such a good relationship, and now they've suddenly become enemies, which Mo Xiao finds somewhat surreal.
Especially considering that Xia Yue is pregnant with Gu Chen's child, Gu Chen is really too good at stealing someone else's partner.
Speaking of children, Mo Xiao couldn't help but recall that he and Bai Yan once had a child, but unfortunately, he lost it.
Bai Yan's body was also left with a chronic illness because of that incident.
I don't know if he has recovered well.
Bai Yan looked at Mo Xiao's hesitant expression and slightly furrowed brows, and assumed that Mo Xiao did not want to agree to this matter.
She didn't force the other person, but simply said, "Since it's difficult, then let's just forget about it."
“No! How could that be? It’s not difficult! Doctor X has helped me so much, it’s only right that I repay him.” Mo Xiao immediately agreed.
