CH 125

Xia Weilan didn’t expect to see Mo Beichen here. Judging by the way Han Yishi greeted him just now, there seems to be some special relationship between them.

“Huh?” Han Yishi saw the manager walking in with Xia Weilan. “What can I do for you, young lady?”

Xia Weilan couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. A moment ago, Han Yishi addressed Mo Beichen as uncle and now he’s calling her young lady. At this instant, Xia Weilan wasn’t able to respond properly to the situation. She subconsciously replied, “I’m here to discuss a business deal with you.”

She made her way toward them as she talked.

The lighting in the room was a little dim. Xia Weilan stared at Mo Beichen, but could only see the outline of his facial feature cast by the flickering candle lights. Everything seemed surreal. His pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars in the evening night appeared extraordinarily eye-catching.

Xia Weilan wondered why they had chosen such a place for lunch.

Han Yishi must have had a very unique character to have a candlelight meal in broad daylight.

“Business deal?” Han Yishi took a glance at the manager only to find that he was already standing behind Mo Beichen.

“I say, young lady. Which company are you from?” Han Yishi leaned closer to Xia Weilan and asked curiously. At this instant, Mo Beichen suddenly cleared his throat. His voice was as cold as a piercing sword, “Sit properly and mind your manner!”

Han Yishi’s half extended body trembled. He quickly sat upright.

A smile flashed across Xia Weilan’s eyes. She asked Mo Beichen, “What brings you here?”

“You guys know each other?” Han Yishi appeared shocked.

" "

Mo Beichen didn’t even take a glance at Han Yishi. His eyes were focused on Xia Weilan’s wounded hand. The wound must have recovered much as she seemed alright now.

Mo Beichen secretly let out a sigh of relief and replied, “Yishi is my distant relative. The old master had asked me to keep an eye on him.”

“Keep an eye? He’s just asking you to take good care of me…” Han Yishi couldn’t help but refute. However, a stern glance from Mo Beichen stopped him from talking.

Looking at Han Yishi sitting there with words stuck in his throat, he looked different from the role of warrior that he portrayed in the movie. He actually looked like a trembling cat who met with a tiger.

“I see. Since we’re inviting him to a business deal, are you the person that I should be dealing with?” Xia Weilan stared at Mo Beichen with her beautiful eyes.

“Yep. Have a seat and we can discuss in detail…” said Mo Beichen.

Xia Weilan never expected that after the twists and turns, she ended up dealing with Mo Beichen. She quickly pulled out a chair and sat down.

“Sit here.” Mo Beichen wasn’t pleased when he saw her sitting beside Han Yishi and pointed at the seat beside him.

Xia Weilan immediately moved to the seat beside him and said, “Beichen, I’m thinking of inviting Yishi as the ambassador for Z International Jewellery. What do you think?”

Xia Weilan blinked her lovely eyes.

“Sure!” Mo Beichen answered decisively.

“What? Jewellery? I’m not taking that sort of advertisement!” Han Yishi stood up immediately after hearing Mo Beichen’s approval.

The manager immediately rushed beside Han Yishi and made him sit down. He advised, “When the boss orders you to take up the job, you should take it. Don’t forget whose company are you working for.”

Xia Weilan realized that she had just heard a piece of big insider news. She immediately widened her eyes. She knew that Han Yishi was working for the nation’s biggest entertainment company. However, the owner of the company has always remained a mystery. She never guessed that…it was her husband’s company!

Han Yishi felt awkward. He stared at Mo Beichen and asked doubtfully, “So, should I agree or not?”

“What do you think?” Mo Beichen replied coldly while tapping his index finger gently on the dining table as if tapping on Han Yishi’s heart.

“Haha.” Han Yishi let out a dry laugh.

The manager struggled to fight his urge to laugh. He cautiously made his way out of the room.

When he closed the door, he simply couldn’t hold it any longer and let out a grin on his face. Usually, he was the one being bullied by Han Yishi. But whenever Han Yishi is with Mo Beichen, that’s the only time he transforms from a spoiled brat to a little white rabbit. Moreover, a little white rabbit that was clamped on the neck like a prey, unable to escape.

“I’m never fond of being the ambassador for jewellery products. However, there’s always an exception. I’ll treat this as…as…” Han Yishi wanted to find an excuse to make him look good. But after much struggle, he couldn’t come up with a good excuse.

“Yishi, this is not any ordinary jewellery. It’s Z international jewellery that represents uniqueness and publicity. It’s a great match for your image. You don’t have to worry about your reputation being ruined.” Xia Weilan gave him a reasonable explanation.

“Alright. In that case, I’ll take the offer.” Han Yishi immediately agreed. He kept looking at Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen as something tells him that there’s a special relationship between these two.

“Oh yeah, what’s your name? And which company are you from?” Han Yishi asked curiously.

“My name is Xia Weilan. I’m from Xia Corps.” Xia Weilan extended her hand for a formal handshake.

“Nice to meet you.” Han Yishi shook hands with her and felt closer to her in an instant.

“That’s strange. The Xia Family is a close acquaintance of the Mo Family. And I heard that Uncle might marry Miss Xia. The old master had been nagging about this for many years, complimenting that Xia Roulin is very talented…”

Although Han Yishi is a distant relative of Mo Beichen, he adopted his surname from his mother. Very few people know about the relationship between Han Yishi and Mo Beichen.

Han Yishi’s statement turned the atmosphere awkward.

“Shut up!” Mo Beichen immediately interrupted Han Yishi.

Xia Weilan kept quiet. She never thought that Old Master Mo, who treats her very kindly, had set his eyes on Xia Roulin before.

She wondered that if she never appeared, perhaps Xia Roulin would really be married to Mo Beichen.

“Did I ever say that I’ll marry her? When can you get rid of your bad habit of not watching over your words?” Mo Beichen’s stern words interrupted Xia Weilan’s thoughts. She immediately cleared her mind and felt that what Mo Beichen said actually made sense. He never liked Xia Roulin.

“Yes, yes. It’s my fault. You have a fine taste.” Han Yishi quickly shut his mouth tight.

The door suddenly opened and the waiter came in carrying some dishes.

“These two vegetarian dishes are for him. He’s on diet!” Mo Beichen instructed the waiter to pass the two vegetable dishes to Han Yishi.

Han Yishi’s looked dismayed but he didn’t dare to say anything.

In fact, he still wondered if he offended Mo Beichen.

Why did uncle get so worked up suddenly?

When Xia Weilan was about to pick up her chopstick, she realized that her hand was still bandaged and it was a little inconvenient for her to move her hand. Whenever she bumped her hand on the table, it was painful.

She tried to switch to another hand but a hand suddenly came over and grabbed her chopstick. Mo Beichen’s deep voice was heard, “What do you want to eat? I’ll help you.”

“I want that meat dish and that crawfish…” Xia Weilan pointed out to him.

Han Yishi saw his Uncle taking those dishes with the chopstick and fed Xia Weilan.

He stopped chewing on the vegetable as if he was paralyzed.

Is Uncle trying to do some backdoor deal with Xia Weilan?

When was the last time that Uncle was so attentive to a girl?

But Uncle is already 26 years old and it seems like Xia Weilan is not even 20.

Han Yishi suddenly realized that his Uncle who always seemed so holy had an untold secret. It turns out that he is fond of young girls…
