Bai Ren curled the corners of his mouth, showing no intention of refusing at all, and readily said, “All right, then I’ll have to trouble Little Mo from now on.”
Mo Yi’s expression grew serious as he nodded, clearly already having made up his mind.
He had never had any so-called relatives or friends, in either of his two lifetimes, and only Bai Ren could be considered someone he had grown close to. No matter what, Bai Ren was different to him.
He liked staying by his side, and if possible, he did not want to be separated from him. Since that was the case, then Bai Ren’s later half of life would be handed over to him to take care of!
He had great strength, and he was not afraid of trouble. He believed he could take good care of Bai Ren.
“Little Mo, I’m a little tired. You’ve already waited outside for me for so long before, go rest first. I have a few work matters I need to explain to Zhu Xiuya, and after I’m done, I’ll rest too.”
Hearing this, Mo Yi hesitated a little. He did not really want to leave Bai Ren’s side, but seeing the insistence in the other man’s eyes, he still obediently left.
However, he refused to go back to the hotel, and instead chose the empty hospital room nearby. He also told Bai Ren that if anything happened, he could shout for him right away.
Bai Ren watched Mo Yi turn back every few steps, practically treating himself like his personal bodyguard, and the smile in his eyes could not be concealed. Only after seeing the boy leave the hospital room did he turn around and look at Zhu Xiuya, saying, “Let word get out that I can’t stand up, and let the Bai family know.”
Bai Ren looked at his freshly operated-on leg, his eyes deep.
This injury might even count as an opportunity for him.
Before this, he had returned to the Bai family. Although Bai Yucheng trusted him very much, the woman beside him named Ye Shishuang was a trouble.
This woman seemed especially sharp and had been constantly reminding Bai Yucheng to be on guard against him. Although Bai Yucheng’s attitude toward him had not changed, privately, Ye Shishuang still made it difficult for him to make any moves in Shengheng Group.
Now they knew that both his legs had been broken, and the official reason was still that it was for Shengheng, for the Bai family. This would definitely make Bai Yucheng feel guilty toward him.
And who would go out of their way to be on guard against someone who could not even walk?
Besides, he did not reject the matter of sitting in a wheelchair, and right now there was even a considerate little fool willing to take the initiative to come to him, so why not?
Zhu Xiuya nodded at the words, asked no more questions, and after briefly discussing some recent work matters with Bai Ren, she left.
For the next entire month, Bai Ren stayed in Shencheng to recuperate. Mo Yi worked hard to learn nursing knowledge and very quickly got the hang of it. His care for Bai Ren could be said to be meticulous.
Even for just a glass of water, Mo Yi would personally pour it, blow it until it was the right temperature, and then hand it to Bai Ren.
As for them, the only time the matter of feeding ever came up was at mealtimes, and it was Bai Ren who did it.
For some reason, Bai Ren had never properly taught Mo Yi how to use utensils, and he even deliberately did not let him practice, saying that he liked feeding him, saying that it made him feel happy.
Mo Yi was very obedient to Bai Ren. If he was told not to learn, then he really did not learn, so by now he still ate rather clumsily.
He could still use a spoon well enough, but chopsticks were still just two wooden sticks that did not really listen to him.
However, he also enjoyed being fed by the other man, and it made him feel that Bai Ren and he were very close.
In daily life, Bai Ren still handled many work matters, and Mo Yi would quietly stay beside him, wearing his headphones and watching the various films, dramas, and variety shows Zhu Xiuya had downloaded for him on the tablet.
When 005 saw this, it reacted and also started showing Mo Yi some enlightenment reading materials, teaching him to read and recognize characters.
Mo Yi studied very earnestly, not only because he wanted to look more like an ordinary person, but also because he wanted to take better care of Bai Ren. He could not possibly go out to buy things without even being able to recognize shop signs and menus.
And then he discovered that he actually had an almost photographic memory. So he was this smart!
He had never come into contact with any of this before, but once he learned, he picked it up immediately and was even filled with excitement. Through these methods, he also came to understand this world more and more.
A month was neither long nor short, but it was enough for Mo Yi and Bai Ren to become more familiar with each other.
Even Bai Ren was a little surprised. He had thought this had only been a passing interest in a little pet, but now he found himself liking him more and more.
After so much time, Zhu Xiuya had long since found out Mo Yi’s identity.
The boy had not lied to him, his name really was Mo Yi, and he was a child of the Mo family in Jincheng.
The older generation of the Mo family had also once been quite prominent, but later gradually declined and became an obscure little family, though that was still much better than an ordinary household.
According to the information he found, the current head of the Mo family was already advanced in years. In his entire life, he had only one daughter in poor health. He took in a live-in son-in-law named Jin Sui, and not long after the child was born, the daughter died.
This child took the Mo family surname, but was soon found to have some intellectual problems. By the time he was five or six, he still could not really speak. It was said that he was already eighteen now, and still never went out the door, not even able to recognize people.
The Mo old master’s son-in-law was not some easy character either. Not long after his wife died, he married a woman from the Mo family’s collateral branch, Mo Tinglian, and had children with her.
He paid no attention to the child from his first wife at all, and in the entire family, only the Mo old master treated Mo Yi well.
Now, the Mo old master was already old, and the matter of the family business was all being controlled by that Jin Sui.
Some time ago, after the Mo old master finished his physical examination, he seemed to want to make a will. As a result, very quickly, Mo Yi disappeared, and the Mo old master also fell seriously ill, was admitted to the hospital, and soon died.
The oddity in this was obvious with just a bit of thought.
If there was no trace of Jin Sui’s family in it, Bai Ren would not believe it.
Looking at it this way, Mo Yi really was not someone sent by people with ulterior motives.
A strange sense of relief loosened in his heart. Looking at the boy beside him seriously watching cartoons on the tablet, this really was a little fool!
However, the little fool actually was not that foolish. He seemed to be very different from what the资料 showed, a little fellow with ability and likability.
Bai Ren did not care how many secrets Mo Yi still had. The month he spent with him was the most comfortable time he had ever had.
Since the original family did not want him, then he would kindly take him in.
Bai Ren happily made his decision, picked up a strawberry, and fed it to Mo Yi’s mouth. Watching the boy bite down and eat it without any defense, he curled his lips.
Mo Yi saw Bai Ren smile and smiled too, feeling that this person was really good to him!
He now had delicious food to eat and a comfortable place to live. He had also learned how to use the tools in the bathroom, and every day he made himself clean and tidy.
After his black, thick hair had been trimmed, he became even more handsome, and more and more like a normal, ordinary human being.
Mo Yi felt that being able to have a life like this now was something he had never even dared to imagine before.
All of this was thanks to Bai Ren!
If possible, he hoped they could keep living like this forever.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for them to stay holed up in this small city forever. Bai Ren still had many things to do. After relaxing for a month, he still decided to take Mo Yi back to Jincheng.
After telling Mo Yi about their itinerary, the boy started busily saying he would help him pack his luggage. Although in the end he only piled the things together in a jumble and left Zhu Xiuya to sort them out, Bai Ren still felt satisfied and praised Mo Yi again and again.
As for the matter of identity, he had already helped Mo Yi solve it simply. He did not plan to let Mo Yi get entangled with the Mo family anymore. From now on, the little fool would belong only to him.
Thinking of this, after Mo Yi finished being busy, Bai Ren called him over and gave him a card.
“Take it, this is my supplementary card. If you want to buy anything in the future, you can swipe this card.”
Mo Yi, who had just watched a domineering CEO movie the night before, brightened up, and fragments from the movie flashed through his mind again.
A certain sharply dressed, arrogant and overbearing CEO had thrown a card at the down-to-earth female lead and loudly said, “Take it, this is my supplementary card, swipe it however you want. As my woman, you can’t be this shabby!”
So this was the legendary supplementary card!
But if Bai Ren gave him a supplementary card, was Bai Ren also a domineering CEO? Then was he his woman?
After thinking about it, Mo Yi felt that something was not right again. He was male, that much was beyond question. So, he was Bai Ren’s, man?
