Translator: 549690339

Except for Mo Family’s patriarch’s traditional Chinese courtyard house, all the other villas in the old house are of various western styles, each with three floors, spacious and open. And it was the deep chill of midnight…

Finally, the call connected, Mo Weiyi said, “Dad, you need to send someone here asap. Someone is knocking on my door and they’re not answering back.

I’m scared.”

Mo Yaoxiong said, “Are you sure you heard correctly?

“Absolutely, the door was knocked several times. No matter how I asked, there was no reply. Please, hurry, I’m scared without Xiaobai.”

“Alright, I’m on my way now.”

Just as she hung up, the knocking began again.

Still ‘knock, knock, knock,’ three times.

After a while, ‘knock, knock, knock,’ another three times.

It felt intentional.

Mo Weiyi moved with her crutch, cranked up the volume of the television, then huddled on the sofa, hands cupping her ears tightly.

After what seemed like an eternity, the cellphone on the coffee table suddenly illuminated.

It was a call from Mo Yaoxiong.

“Weiyi, are you inside? Why aren’t you opening the door?”

Mo Weiyi quickly got up and unlocked the door, “Dad.”

Mo Yaoxiong, adorned in dark blue checkered pajamas, had shortness of breath, evidently hurried over without delay. Behind him, there followed Aunt Zhou, Rong An, and another bodyguard.

“What’s going on?” he asked.

Mo Weiyi replied hastily, “Someone was persistently knocking on the door earlier.”

Mo Yaoxiong said, “Let me get this right; why didn’t you open the door when 1 was knocking?”

“I was scared and had turned the TV volume all the way up earlier, I didn’t hear

the knock.”

Mo Yaoxiong furrowed his brows.

Then, he sighed, “So, were you actually not hearing any knocking earlier, but

your fear made you think that someone was knocking?”

“NO.” Mo Weiyi shook her head fervently, “I swear I heard it, Dad! You should instruct them to search the vicinity, that person must still be close.”

Mo Yaoxiong looked wordlessly at his daughter.

After all, this was the Mo residence. Apart from servants, they also had bodyguards, so how could outsiders intrude?

■Weiyi, I didn’t spot anything unusual in the surrounding area when I came over…”

“Ahhhhh!” Mo Weiyi suddenly screamed, pointing behind him with wild eyes.

Everyone jumped in fright, then…

“Sister Yiyi, what’s wrong?” Qu Yunyao’s innocent and perplexed voice rang out.

Mo Yaoxiong quickly turned behind.

He saw Qu Yunyao in a white nightgown that reached her feet, a part of her loose black hair cascading down her shoulders, combining with her pale skin… in the middle of the night, it was indeed a little scary if one happened to glance at her unknowingly.

Mo Weiyi pointed at Qu Yunyao with trembling fingers, her eyes filled with terror, she couldn’t utter a word for a while.

“I’m sorry, I came out as I heard some noise. Did I frighten you, Sister Yiyi?” Qu Yunyao seemed really worried.

Mo Yaoxiong quickly said, “It’s okay, Weiyi is just easily frightened, perhaps the wind rustled the branches earlier, and she mistook it for knocking.

“Oh I see.”

However, Mo Weiyi suddenly asked, “Were you the one striking up tricks earlier? Were you the one knocking on my door?”

Qu Yunyao gaped, “Sister Yiyi, what are you talking about?”

“Was it you just now? Were you knocking on my door to scare me deliberately?”

Mo Weiyi gazed at Qu Yunyao, infuriated.

Who else could it be, except for her in this old villa?

Moreover, she appeared just when Weiyi was asking for a search around the villa?

“No, Sister Yiyi, it was not me,” Qu Yunyao turned red and hurriedly tried to explain, ”1 only came when I heard the sound.”

“What’s going on, Weiyi?” Mo Yaoxiong was also a bit facetious, “What are you trying to do, causing trouble in the middle of the night? What reason would Yunyao have to scare you out of the blue?

“I swear, sister Yiyi, I did not do anything. Since my mother is not here, I was scared to sleep alone, so I was in the living room, reading scripts. I only came when I heard the sound.”

“Afraid to sleep alone? So, you and your boyfriend have already slept together?” Mo Weiyi bluntly asked.

Qu Yunyao suddenly turned even redder, as though she hit the spot.

However, this further exacerbated Mo Yaoxiong’s anger, “Weiyi, where are your manners?”

Mo Weiyi continued to question, “Then tell me, why are you dressed in this all-white outfit?”

“All of my nightgowns are like this.” Qu Yunyao appeared more aggrieved.

“You clearly did it on purpose! If I hadn’t asked Dad to come here, would you have continued to intimidate me wearing this white dress? Knowing fully well that Xiaobai isn’t here, and I can’t sleep alone…”

“Have you had enough?!” Mo Yaoxiong’s roar cut off Mo Weiyi’s words,

“Yunyao, go back to bed.”

“Alright, uncle.”

“Dad, I truly heard knocking!” Mo Weiyi stamped her foot in exasperation.

Mo Yaoxiong glanced at her impatiently and flatly said, “Alright, let’s disperse.” The servants and bodyguards looked at each other and then followed him in leaving.

Aunt Zhou gazed at Mo Weiyi, “Princess…

Mo Weiyi sharply turned, hobbled up the stairs with her crutch.

Outside the villa, Qu Yunyao lowered her head. Shyly apologizing, “I am sorry, uncle. I shouldn’t have caused all this commotion.”

“I should be the one saying sorry. Weiyi is this way because I spoiled her,” Mo Yaoxiong sighed.

“No, it’s not, it’s all my fault. But I really didn’t want to scare sister Yiyi.” Finished, Qu Yunyao started to sob, “I think, sister Yiyi doesn’t like me, uncle, maybe… I should move out and live elsewhere..”
