In the bedroom, Mo Beichen went to the bathroom to take a shower. Xia Weilan suddenly recalled something and picked up the phone to make a call.

“Hey, Z, I’m sorry, I’m no longer working with the Xia Corps now.”

“You’re not? I heard that you went on a business trip. My staff went to your office for a meeting but they didn’t see you. What’s going on?” Z asked in surprise.

Xia Weilan had no choice but to let him know about the changes in the situation.

“I’m sorry. I’ve promised you that we’ll be working together, but now, I can’t keep my promise.”

As soon as Z heard that he will have to work together with Xia Ruolin, he immediately said, “It was because of you that I agreed to collaborate with Xia Corps. Since you’re no longer with them, I guess there’s no need for me to continue with the collaboration.”

“I’m truly sorry. If you wish to terminate the contract, I’m willing to pay the compensation. I hope that there will be opportunities for us to cooperate in the future.”

Z rejected her proposal, “I’m not short of financial compensation. I am aware of your situation. I plan to launch a new series during the New Year and I would like to invite you to participate in the designing process. What do you think? “

Xia Weilan never expected that not only Z did not criticize her, he even invited her to continue to collaborate with him. She quickly said, “No problem. I won’t let you down this time. I look forward to work with you.”

She hung up and immediately opened her email inbox. Z sent her the design theme template and preliminary idea board.

When Mo Beichen came out of the bathroom, he saw Xia Weilan focusing on the computer screen.

He dried his hair and walked toward her. He leaned on her back and stared at the computer screen.

“Z invited me to co-design their upcoming release with him. The series will be launched next spring!” Xia Weilan explained.

Seeing Xia Weilan getting all excited, Mo Beichen felt a strange feeling sprouting in his heart for no reason. He took away her laptop and placed it on the table, “Since it’s for next year, let’s put it on hold first. It’s time to sleep now.”

Xia Weilan’s eyes trembled as she thought he meant ‘that’ by sleeping.

Mo Beichen turned off the light and reached out to hold her waist. Xia Weilan shifted her body shyly.

“Don’t feel like sleeping?” She heard Mo Beichen’s voice.

Xia Weilan immediately blushed. So Mo Beichen really meant sleeping when he mentioned sleep just now.

“I’ll sleep now!” Xia Weilan said dully.

“Um.” Mo Beichen reached out to unbutton her collar in the dark.

Xia Weilan was confused when she felt Mo Beichen undoing her pajamas. He then undid the clasp on her bra.

“It’s more comfortable this way!” Mo Beichen said.

Xia Weilan let out a sigh. Is he serious? How can he do such ambiguous actions while saying such serious words?

Her body is awkwardly tense for a long while before she slowly unwinds herself..

She didn’t notice that in the darkness, Mo Beichen’s dark eyes were staring at her expression. The corners of his eyes were lifted as his eyes flashed with interest.

Xia Weilan took in the fragrance of his body and her body relaxed very quickly. She fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

But Mo Beichen was having a little trouble falling asleep. He fell into his own trap and he suddenly felt his body burning with passion.

But he saw that Xia Weilan was already fast asleep and he couldn’t bring himself to wake her up. So, he forced himself to calm down.

His self-control doesn’t seem to work at all. The more he struggles to refrain himself, the more he wants it. His hand subconsciously slipped underneath her skirt and he pressed his large palm on her waist.

Xia Weilan felt the tickles and turned her body sideways, pinning his palm underneath her body.

Mo Beichen’s eyes were burning with flame in the darkness, but he had to silent his thoughts.

It took him a long while to cool down and fell asleep with her in his arms.

The next day.

Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen went to the office together. Xia Weilan got off the floor of the project department and walked towards the front desk.

“Hello, I’m reporting for work!” When the receptionist heard this, she immediately looked at Xia Weilan with bright eyes, like a searchlight, sizing her curiously.

Everybody in the project department heard that the new manager’s assistant is the President’s wife who is here to observe the sentiments of the staff.

“Hi, Ms. Xia, right? The manager’s office is right there. Please come with me.” The receptionist showed Xia Weilan the way enthusiastically.

Xia Weilan entered the office and saw a man sitting at his desk, busy talking over the phone. He looked resolute. The man casually glanced at Xia Weilan and continued talking on the phone. He pointed to the document on his desk and made a number ‘five’ hand sign to Xia Weilan.

Xia Weilan immediately understood and she quickly picked up the document and walked out.

The receptionist hasn’t left yet. She quickly said, “Your office is next door, and there’s a printer in your office.”

“Thank you!” said Xia Weilan.

The receptionist stared at Xia Weilan’s back profile in confusion. I must be dreaming! MIss Xia who is known for her bad temper said ‘Thank You’ to me?

In the conference room, Xia Weilan passed the documents to the clients in front of her. There were five representatives from the client and they were led by a young miss who was dressed in vibrant colors.

The project manager politely said, “This is our company’s latest price list.”

The female client opened the file and immediately got a headache when she saw the heaps of text on the document. She quickly skipped to the final number. “Why did the price rise so much?”

Her shriek was as sharp as the sawtooth. It made Xia Weilan frown.

However, it appears that the Project Manager had gotten used to it and he said without a change in his expression, “You can read more to understand the reason behind it. The breakdown of the post-maintenance costs and some service costs were listed in the document. There is also a regulatory regulation…”

Before the Project Manager could finish his words, the female client got up from the chair and opened the conference room door in excitement.

Mo Beichen was walking toward the conference room while talking to Xu Wei. She stood a few meters outside the door of the conference room without budging.

Xia Weilan also saw Mo Beichen. She didn’t expect to see him again so soon. It seems like he was very busy because he kept his head down while offering some explanations to Xu Wei.

“President Mo!” The lady shouted delightfully.

Mo Beichen, who was not far away, lifted his head when he heard someone calling him. He looked at the person standing in front of the door and frowned.

The Project Manager then recalled that Xia Weilan is the President’s wife. He almost forgot about this. He quickly asked, “President Mo, do you have any commands?

Mo Beichen swept his gaze across Xia Weilan and said faintly, “I’m just passing by, you can get back to work.”

The Project Manager glanced at Xia Weilan when he heard Mo Beichen’s words. The President hardly passes by here. His motive is a little too obvious.

He invited the female client to continue the meeting in the conference room. To his surprise, she suddenly said, “President Mo, since you are here, why don’t you join us for the meeting? After all, I am the daughter of the Dong family, I should have this honor, right?”

She’s being very frank. She’s implying that she’s worthy to talk business with Mo Beichen in person.

Mo Beichen actually agreed and walked into the conference room.

Miss Dong was delighted and she returned to the conference room with joy.
