CH 104

Meanwhile, Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen were called into a room by Old Master Xia.

There was a small wooden box that didn’t look extraordinary placed on the desk in front of Old Master Xia. He was caressing the box gently as he stared at Xia Weilan. He said kindly, “My child, it’s your birthday today. Grandpa had been thinking of what to get you for your birthday. After much thinking, I’ve decided to give this to you today.”

When Xia Weilan heard his words, she took a step forward and Old Master Xia passed the small wooden box to her.

She touched the small wooden box. Nevertheless, for Old Master Xia to give her a present in such a manner, the gift must be something priceless.

“Grandpa, this is?” Xia Weilan looked at the Old Master in a puzzle.

“This is the secret treasure map of the Xia Family. Nobody knew for how many generations it had been passed down. Although no one had been able to unlock the secret behind this treasure map, it was already meaningful enough for it to be able to pass down from one generation to another. Furthermore, the Xia Family waisn’t short of money nowadays.”

“Yes.” Xia Weilan felt a warm sensation rushing through her heart. She opened the box and took out the square canvas that was covered with drawings and a key.

Mo Beichen also fixed his stare on the things that she held in her hand. The both were able to see the drawings clearly but they were unable to figure out the meaning behind it.

“Ahem, since youngsters like you are smarter, perhaps you might be able to figure out some clues.”

Old Master Xia stood up and said, “Alright, we’ve been here for a long time. It’s time for us to go out. It’s your birthday today. Nothing’s more important than you enjoying yourself.”

As soon as Old Master Xia finished his words, he opened the door and walked out.

Xia Weilan exchanged glances with Mo Beichen. She carefully put aside the treasure map and followed behind Old Master Xia.

Being the birthday girl, Xia Weilan received a lot of attention. Regardless if it was out of sincerity or just an act to curry favour with her, everyone put on a smiling face and kept toasting to her.

With Mo Beichen around, Xia Weilan didn’t drink as much due to Mo Beichen drinking on her behalf.

But even so, Xia Weilan’s drinking capability was already pushed to the limit.

By the time Mo Beichen pulled Xia Weilan who appeared to look normal to a corner, he realized that something was wrong with her when she placed a finger to tilt his chin.

“Hey handsome. You’re really good looking!”

Xia Weilan’s eyes were crystal clear but her ears were already scarlet red.

Mo Beichen locked her wristed and called her, “Xia Weilan!”

“Xia Weilan?” She seemed surprised. But all of a sudden, she giggled and leaned closer to him. She placed her lips close to his ear and whispered into his ear, “Call me Beauty!”

Mo Beichen suddenly felt a jolt of pain shooting up from his ear. It was Xia Weilan who bited his ear mercilessly.

“Ouch!” Mo Beichen pushed her and his eyes turned dull.

“Xia Weilan, are you really fond of biting others whenever you’re drunk?”

But all he got was the devious and satisfied smile from the girl in front of her.

Mo Beichen put on a stern face. He knew that whatever he said now wouldn’t make any sense to Xia Weilan now. He immediately dragged her out from the restaurant and shoved her into the car.

" "

“Hello, Aunt Tian. Prepare some hot soup for a hangover. I need it in ten minutes.” Mo Beichen said in a stern voice.

Mo Beichen’s ear was stained with droplets of blood and his wound was still causing him some pain. But he simply ignored it and focused on getting Xia Weilan home.

When they were back at Fairview Imperial Court, Aunt Tian quickly took out the bowl of soup. The moment she saw them, she couldn’t help but wonder who was the one who needed the soup, because both of them appeared to be fine.

“Hello young lady, how are you?” Xia Weilan suddenly beckoned toward Aunt Tian.

Aunt Tian felt her heart skip a beat as she knew who was the one that was drunk.

Mo Beichen took the soup and passed it to Xia Weilan who appeared to look fine. “Finish it!”

Xia Weilan was very cooperative. She finished the entire bowl of soup and extended her hand toward Mo Beichen after she’s done. “It’s so tasty, I still want some more.”

Mo Beichen stared at her calmly and dragged her upstairs.

“Well…” Aunt Tian watched as Xia Weilan disappeared upstairs. She was a bit worried and started to wonder how much did Xia Weilan had in order to become this drunk.

Inside the room, Mo Beichen pressed Xia Weilan on the bed and looked into her smiling eyes and asked, “Do you know who I am?”

“Of course.” Xia Weilan blinked and suddenly placed her hands on his chest with an ambiguous expression. Without notice, she reached her hands inside his collar and caressed his skin.

“Xia Weilan, tell me, who am I?” A dangerous look flashed across Mo Beichen. He remained motionless, letting her have her way to tease his senses.

“You are~” Xia Weilan paused and thought for a moment before saying, “You are the big devil! Hehe.”

Although it sounded like something that slipped out unintentionally, the fire that was burning inside Mo Beichen extinguished immediately. He reached out his hand and caught her wrist. He said in a complex expression, “What did you say?”

“Big devil. Mo Beichen, Beijing most…” Xia Weilan was really confused. For a moment, she thought that she was still in her previous life where she was brainwashed by Ouyang Mingqi thinking that Mo Beichen is a big devil. But at the same time, she also thought that Mo Beichen is really handsome. Her mind was all messed up.

When Mo Beichen heard her saying out his name, he wasn’t sure if he should be happy or sad for she was addressing him as a big devil.

But he had been holding back a lot in front of her. Why did she still address him as such?

“Urggg!” Xia Weilan suddenly leaned against his chest and vomited. Their clothes were drenched with vomit.

Mo Beichen let out a helpless sigh and let her hold on to his collars. When she’s done throwing up, she immediately fell asleep.

Mo Beichen already felt better and didn’t feel upset anymore, for he understood that Xia Weilan was really drunk now and she was simply talking gibberish.

He stood up and removed the dirty clothing from him before undressing Xia Weilan.

When their naked bodies pressed against each other, Mo Beichen strived hard to refrain the manly urge inside of him and carried her into the bathroom. He carefully bathed her and washed away the foul smell on their bodies until what was left on their skin was the fragrant smell of the shower cream. He then dressed her in her sleeping gown.

He placed her on the bed and pulled the sheet over her. He then climbed onto the bed from the other side and hugged her waist.

Xia Weilan was already sleeping like a dead pig, having totally no clue about what’s happening around her and slept until the next morning.

However, Mo Beichen was taking in the fragrance smell on her skin while enduring the torture. By the time he wanted to get a cold shower in the middle of the night, he realized that Xia Weilan was clenching onto the corner of his shirt.

And like that, Mo Beichen hugged her as he stayed up the entire night.
