Xia Weilan was taken aback. She stared at the person’s curious eyes and answered, “We met in a bar.”

Mo Beichen sipped the glass of wine with an indifferent expression. He recalled that it was indeed true that they met at the bar. At that time, Xia Weilan suddenly threw herself into his arms and insisted that he should take her away.

“Wow. That’s really some fate.” The noble gentlemen quickly commented.

Nan Fengyan who knew the insight of the situation was laughing really hard as he put on an odd expression. Rui Li took a glance at him in a puzzle. She then poured herself a glass of wine and emptied it in one go.

Xia Weilan just smiled without elaborating more. She quickly realized that a serving of de-shelled crab was already placed on her plate. Moreover, Mo Beichen also handed her a glass of fruit juice. His hand was still extended before her.

She quickly took the glass of juice and the room was suddenly filled with laughter from others.

Xia Weilan who was still thick skinned the earlier on suddenly felt her cheeks burning.

Mo Beichen acted as if nothing happened and continued to sip on his wine. He had one hand on the couch as if he was guarding his belongings so that he could reach out to hold her any time.

Xia Weilan suddenly felt a hand placed behind her back, she was a bit startled, but silently leaned her back against the hand.

During the dinner, a few chatty individuals brought up a lot of interesting conversations. Nan Fengyan’s past history was being dug out, “There was a time where a pretty chick in a bikini walked past Nen Fengyan. She suddenly slipped and fell into his arm. Tsk, tsk, tsk…that time, we were all dumbfounded from watching how it happened. After that, we all saw Nan Fengyan left while hugging that pretty chick.”

The few gents were already bursting from laughter by the time they finished talking about the incident. But when they saw Nan Fengyan’s face was already as dark as the bottom of a burnt pot, all of them quickly kept quiet.

“Feng-ge, what’s gotten into you?” One of the noble gentlemen asked in confusion.

" "

Nan Fengyan casted him a glance that was as sharp as the tip of a blade. He then stared at Rui Li with a complex emotion. However, he realized that Rui Li wasn’t even looking at him and was enjoying her drink, as if she didn’t hear anything at all.

But Nan Fengyan could sense that Rui Li was upset. How is it possible that she didn’t hear it?

Rui Li suddenly stood up, “Wei Lan, please accompany me to the washroom.”

Xia Weilan stood up without hesitation. Before she walked out of the room, she casted Nan Fengyan a glance.

Nan Fengyan’s expression immediately became extremely hideous. The atmosphere inside the VIP room became extremely awkward.

At this instant, everybody could tell that Nan Fengyan really cared about Rui Li. The gents who brought up the conversation just now realized that they were in trouble. They quickly lowered their faces and didn’t dare to utter another word.

Rui Li and Xia Weilan got out of the VIP room and made their way to the washroom.

“Rui Li, are you really interested in Nan Fengyan?” Xia Weilan couldn’t hold back her urge to ask.

“How is that possible? Do you think a person like me with a quiet personality can get along with a lively person like him?” Rui Li halted her footsteps and answered seriously.

After that, Rui Li didn’t say anything more.

Not long later, Xia Weilan and Rui Li returned into the VIP room. Nan Fengyan immediately sat beside Rui Li and explained, “I just went for a meal with her that time…”

“Young Master Nan, you don’t have to explain yourself.” Rui Li appeared calm and it seemed as though she didn’t want to listen to Nan Fengyan’s explanation.

" "

Nan Fengyan still wanted to say something, but seeing Rui Li’s response, those words were choked in his throat.

After that, Nan Fengyan went into a drinking battle with Rui Li. It didn’t take long for Nan Fengyan to get really drunk. He passed out and fell on the table.

In the end, Mo Beichen arranged for someone to send him back home.

The next day at Mo’s Residence.

In the living room, Old Master Mo and Old Master Xia were smiling broadly while they were discussing some plans. In the middle of the discussion, they even nodded from time to time. They were both startled when they saw Xia Weilan walking in.

Old Master Mo invited her over for dinner but she didn’t expect that her grandpa would be there too.

Mo Beichen was calm as always. He led Xia Weilan and walked slowly toward them.

“My child, come over quickly.” Old Master Mo quickly beckoned Xia Weilan when he saw her.

Xia Weilan obediently walked beside Old Master Mo and greeted the both Old Masters sweetly.

“My child, I haven’t given you any gift during your birthday. The reason that I called you over is to hand over your present.” Old Master Mo immediately took out two flight tickets from his pocket and passed them to her.

Xia Weilan took the tickets in surprise.

“Both of you haven’t gone for a honeymoon trip since getting married, right? Grandpa decided to give both of you two off-days so that you can go enjoy yourselves.” Old Master Mo touched his beard.

As soon as Old Master Mo finished his words, Old Master Xia said, “Yeah. Just go have fun. I’ll take care of the office.”

Both of them exchanged glances when they finished speaking and they both saw the glimpse of light in each other’s eyes.

Xia Weilan lifted her head to look at Mo Beichen, waiting for his reply. As long as he agreed, she would certainly have no objections.

Mo Beichen took the tickets from her hand and saw that the departure date is the day after tomorrow. He thought for a while before saying, “Sure. I’ve been thinking of going on a holiday too.”

Xia Weilan who stood beside Mo Beichen heard his reply. Her heart suddenly beat uncontrollably as if someone had injected some adrenaline into it and the feeling of happiness was flowing in her body.

The two Old Masters let out a smile and nodded in satisfaction.

For the next two days, Mo Beichen spent most of his time working late, rushing to complete those important tasks.

In the evening, Xia Weilan was waiting for Mo Beichen to come home. It was already half past midnight. The moon outside the window casted its hazy glow and the surrounding was really quiet.

Mo Beichen came home in the middle of the night, holding on to his outer coat with one hand. The moment he got inside the house, he saw Xia Weilan sleeping on the couch.

He frowned and tip-toed in front of her, staring at her serene sleeping face.

Aunt Tian saw him come home and quickly walked over gently. She said softly, “Sir, young madam said she wanted to wait for you to come home. She didn’t call you because she was afraid that she might disturb your work.”

Mo Beichen heard Aunt Tian and suddenly leaned toward Xia Weilan. He wrapped one hand around her waist and gently carried her in his arm. Mo Beichen gently lowered her on the soft bed in the bedroom. Xia Weilan was asleep soundly. Her lashes gently flattered like the wings of a butterfly and she looked just like a sleeping beauty.
