Moyao restrained his urge to swear and said coldly, turning away, "It's from a stray cat bite."

Little White scratched his head in confusion. Sensing Moyao was unhappy, he obediently stayed silent on one side, secretly thinking, 'Boss is so fierce today; I feel so pitiful.' Although Moyao had mentally prepared himself that Little White might forget everything later, there was still a faint hope that Little White would remember the moment they just shared.

When he heard Little White ask so innocently about his condition, Moyao felt stifled. In an instant, he wanted to hit someone; however, Little White really was innocent. Seeing Moyao's face worsen, he dared not speak anymore.

"Boss, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable," he suddenly said with a frown. Moyao glanced at him and quickly started the car to head back home. Fortunately, he had been nearby; originally planning to stay out longer, but now it would only take ten minutes if Little White was suffering an episode.

Moyanxue could control his withdrawal symptoms now and wouldn't lose himself completely or injure himself severely. He could endure the discomfort and alleviate it on his own.

Moyao turned to look at him, suppressing his heartache: "We'll be home soon; just hold on a bit longer."

Actually, even after arriving home, he would still have to endure. However, in the detox room, Little White felt safer and more dependent on it. Baiye's presence during detoxification psychologically encouraged Moyanxue greatly.

The car quickly entered Su Family Mansion; Ye Wei and Eleven confirmed that both Little White and Moyao were fine and that Little White hadn't experienced an episode yet. The group was playing cards in the courtyard when Moyao called Baiye over, who took Moyanxue into the detox room with Su Man following.

Mojue said, "This time, the interval between episodes is longer."

Eleven exclaimed, "Moyao, what happened to your lip"

Moyao felt that shielding his lips was overly obvious and calmly replied, "I bit myself while eating."

Aftershadowing his statement, he hurried upstairs to freshen up. Moye frowned, "Then... was it Little White who bit him"

Ye Wei said, "Little White now regards Moyao as a good big brother..."

Eleven puzzledly asked, "Does that mean Moyao forced himself on Little White and got bitten in the process"

Mojue didn't comment on this matter. The more Eleven thought about it, the likelier she felt that Moyao couldn't resist himself and violated Little White, hence getting a bite; otherwise, why would he hurt himself like that, which was highly unlikely.

Moyue expressed his doubts, "There's not just one wound on his lips, right"

The Eleventh was thoroughly curious and her gaze drifted upstairs. Ye Wei’s curiosity was also piqued, "Where did they go for such a long time What did they do Why does it feel like something happened that we don’t know about"

Moyue smiled, "Why do you need to know everything As long as they're fine."

Ye Wei said, "That's not the point. I'm actually curious how they are getting along now."

The Eleventh agreed; she was also curious. Recently, she had felt sorry for Xiao Bai and then felt sorry for Big Brother. These two children hadn’t given anyone a moment’s peace… The Eleventh suggested that Ye Wei ask them, but Ye Wei waved her hand decisively, "Who's son, who asks."

"Then you ask Xiao Bai; Moyao is shy and won't be able to get anything out of him." The Eleventh said. Ye Wei thought about it and laughed like a witch; the two of them were determined to uncover some secret and quickly reached an agreement.

This time, Xiao Bai’s addiction came slowly but left quickly; basically, he wasn’t uncomfortable after just one hour. Su Man had given him serum that needed to be injected every day, which helped with his detoxification and alleviated Xiao Bai's suffering. Sweating profusely, there were some scratches on his wrists, blood stains all over the place. After coming out of the detox room, he went up to take a shower. Moyao and Xiao Bai’s rooms were connected; after Moyao had finished cleaning himself, he was dealing with mafia business in the living room while Ye Wei waited upstairs for Xiao Bai.

After taking his shower, Xiao Bai looked at some bruises on his body curiously, wondering who could have caused them. They seemed to be kiss marks—thinking hard but not coming up with anything, he put on clothes and stopped thinking about it. When he came out, he saw Ye Wei waiting for him.

His fierce mother was leaning against the head of the bed playing games; Xiao Bai smiled and leaned over, "Mommy, Daddy’s going to be jealous."

Ye Wei tapped his head and patted a spot next to her, "Sit down."

Xiao Bai obediently sat down. Ye Wei paused the game and asked, "Where did you go today"

"Just for a drive and to the beach," Xiao Bai said. Ye Wei raised an eyebrow, hesitating, "That’s all you were doing all day long"

"Yes." Xiao Bai nodded. Ye Wei asked, "You didn’t do anything else"

Xiao Bai was even more confused than she was, "Do we have to do something else"

Ye Wei was frustrated, "Boss's lip wound, did you bite him"

Little White immediately widened his eyes in shock, looking like a terrified househusband, "Mommy, why would it be me who bit him Why would I bite Boss If my addiction flares up and I need to bite someone, I'd bite his shoulder or arm; how could it be his mouth Mommy, you are too perverted."

Ye Wei tried to read a hint of deception on Little White's face but knew he was incapable of fooling her with lies. However, she also knew that this time, he truly didn't know and was genuinely confused.

Ye Wei shrugged her shoulders, "You've been together with him all day, you left him okay but now there’s a wound. Who did it"

"I slept for a while and don’t know anything about it; Boss said he was bitten by a stray cat. Of course, that's not true, how could a stray cat bite him" Little White stated the truth. Ye Wei gave up completely, patting her son’s shoulder sympathetically before leaving wordlessly.

Mosai called out, "Mommy, what does this mean"

Ye Wei turned around, "Go to sleep, Silly Egg."

Mosai felt wronged.

With her most acute intuition, Ye Wei judged that there must be something going on between the two of them. Besides Little White, no one else could bite Mo Yao's lip; Ye Wei thought to herself, did Little White’s lying skills improve so much that she couldn't tell

This was unlikely.

Eleven asked about Ye Wei's situation, and she shrugged her shoulders and recounted what Little White had said. Both of them were confused. Mo Yue and Mo Jue didn’t care about these kinds of things regarding their sons; they always ignored such matters. Mo Yao dealt with some Black Hand Party issues when he received an email from Bai Liu.

Mo Yao's face fell immediately upon reading the email. He did not hate or blame Bai Liu, but he felt uncomfortable being deceived and disagreed with how she acted. No matter his intentions to be an undercover agent and gather intelligence, he would never deceive someone with genuine emotions.

He wouldn’t hold Little White’s resentment against Bai Liu; ultimately, it was his fault for everything that happened. If not for his relationship with Bai Liu, if not for agreeing to let her live in their home, and if not for bringing her to Berlin, Little White would have never had to go through all of this. It was his mistake, and he wouldn’t blame others.

Now that Bai Liu reached out to him again, what could she possibly want

Mo Yao opened the email.

Moyao, whether you believe it or not, meeting you was a trap I set, but falling in love with you was an unexpected twist. Perhaps now you won't believe any of this, but I still want to tell you that I genuinely like you. You may disdain me or even hate me, yet I wish for you to know that I have never betrayed my feelings.

Best regards.

The letter was quite simple. Moyao clicked on the reply button but didn't know what to say to Bai Liu. He had once thought of spending his life with Bai Liu, tried to love someone else again, and imagined many scenarios with Bai Liu over these years. Besides Xiao Bai, Bai Liu was the first man he wanted to try out as a partner. He wasn’t particularly in love with Bai Liu; it just felt right. A person can't live alone on an island forever; there must be someone to accompany them. Bai Liu would have made for a wonderful companion.

After this experience, he no longer harbored the same thoughts as before. He only wanted Xiao Bai, even if Xiao Bai didn’t want him or if he had to spend his life with her, he wouldn't complain. Once Moyao made up his mind, he wouldn't hesitate. Even though Xiao Bai wasn’t captured because of Bai Liu this time, just thinking about the kiss in the forest and Xiao Bai saying she should have kissed him then in Berlin, he knew he was hopelessly smitten.

Unable to extricate himself from such feelings,

he wouldn't waste another person’s time.

In this life, he only wanted Xiao Bai.

Moyao remembered that he still owed Bai Liu a response and typed out one sentence.

Closing the webpage, Moyao's mood gradually calmed down. He was someone who started what they began to finish. He gave Bai Liu his answer, and perhaps in the future, their paths might cross again. Whether friend or foe would depend on their individual choices then. As for matters of the heart, he wouldn't give him any further response.

Bai Liu looked at Moyao's email; Moyao was even more direct and straightforward: I love Ye Yan. Just four words gave him a clear reply. Bai Liu’s usually gentle face remained calm as ever, his expression serene like moonlight on the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

This outcome was what he had anticipated from the start, so he mentally prepared himself to accept it. Love requires courage; back then when he pursued Moyao, it was with courage because Moyao gave him hope at that time. He even thought about how if Moyao loved him too and wanted him, he could give up his career.

He had many thoughts like this, but a spy falling in love with the enemy is a tragedy. Yet logically, what needed to be done for the anti-terrorist cause, he never neglected it. So Bai Liu knew that romance wouldn't be everything in his life.

Now that Moyao has clearly stated his stance—choosing Ye Yan—Bai Liu shouldn’t continue to pester him further. He wasn’t someone who would cling stubbornly; rather, he was always calm and composed. This outcome wasn’t what he sought, but it was what Moyao gave him.
