After the banquet, Xia Weilan was the last to leave.

She left the banquet hall and walked toward the school gate with Rui Li.

A crowd was already formed at the school gate, and Xia Weilan and Rui Li walked over in surprise.

Someone standing in the front said, “Xia Weilan is here.”

In an instant, everyone turned around and stared at her.

Xia Weilan and Rui Li walked over and the crowd immediately open up a path for them. Xia Weilan saw a Maybach parked in the middle of the road. The window of the car rolled down, revealing Mo Beichen’s handsome face.

“No wonder there are so many people around. Weilan, go over there quickly.” Rui Li gave her a push.

Everyone watched as Xia Weilan walked over. She was like a star walking on the red carpet.

When the principal sent Mo Beichen to the car, he thought that he would be leaving soon, however, he didn’t expect Mo Beichen to roll down the window and he was not in a hurry to leave.

Everyone began to talk among themselves, wondering if he is actually waiting for Xia Weilan.

Luckily, at this moment, Xia Weilan finally came out.

The principal immediately said to Xia Weilan, “President Mo has been waiting for you for a long time.”

Otherwise, the entire school gate would be super congested.

Xia Weilan nodded and got into the car quickly.

The black Maybach drove off.

Rui Li also walked to her car and drove away, leaving behind those students who were still looking around.

“I think Xia Weilan is a good person. We talked with her in the student union and she is very easy-going, she is not as headstrong as what the rumors claimed.”

“Yeah. I don’t know who came up with the rumor saying that Xia Weilan is a discreet mistress. President Mo already came here to pick her up publicly, how is it that she’s a discreet mistress?”

“Okay, let’s go. We still have classes tomorrow morning.”

The crowd slowly dispersed, leaving Sun Meimei who still stood on the spot.

“Who does she think she is? She thinks she’s a superstar?” Sun Meimei was jealous.

Since when did she have this honor to have everyone in the school witnessing her slipping on her glass slippers, getting on the carriage like Cinderella? And Xia Weilan’s glass slipper is the man behind her.

Sun Meimei murmured, “What is there to be arrogant about? You’re nothing but a man’s toy.”

Nobody saw how terrifying Sun Meimei’s expression was at the moment.

That evening, it was already ten o’clock in the evening by the time Xia Weilan returned to Fairview Imperial Court.

After washing up, she walked out from the bathroom wearing pajamas and found Mo Beichen sitting on the sofa reading some documents.

When he heard her walking over, he put away his documents and lifted his gaze. He pulled her into his arms as she passed by.

“Are you tired?” Mo Beichen asked.

After a busy day at school today, he guessed Xia Weilan must be a little exhausted.

“I’m not tired. I’m going to the study to read some books.”

Xia Weilan looked into his eyes and explained, “I’ve been busy with the student union recently, and it has diverted my attention. I have to catch up with my studies.”

Mo Beichen stood up from the sofa without letting go of her hand and said warmly, “I will accompany you to the study.”

In the quiet study, Mo Beichen browsed through the company’s documents. The only sound heard was the occasional page-turning sound.

Mo Beichen frowned when he didn’t hear the pages turning anymore. He lifted his gaze and couldn’t help but chuckled when he saw her face laying flat on the book, falling asleep.

Loose strands of hair framed her smooth, delicate face. Her breathing was steady and serene as if she was having a nice dream. Even the corners of her mouth were gently lifted.

The reflection of the light hit the corners of her eyebrows. Mo Beichen leaned a little closer, and he realized that Xia Weilan is really beautiful. Not only is she a beauty, she is also very capable. He presumed that there will be more and more people admiring her at school.

Mo Beichen gently planted a kiss on Xia Weilan’s lips.

He suddenly recalled that such a wonderful woman had just experienced the pain of losing a beloved family member not long ago.

In the end, Xia Weilan never mentioned the Xia Corps because she trusted him. When he said that he would help her take it back, she really didn’t bother him about it anymore.

The Xia Corps had already faced with crisis even without Mo Beichen making a move. This was because 2nd Master Xia is not competent at all in managing the business. Mo Beichen has been monitoring how Xia Corp’s stock market price keeps going down.

He carried her onto the bed. At first, he thought of putting her down gently without waking her up. He didn’t expect that when he was about to walk away, she suddenly tugged on his sleeves.

Mo Beichen turned his head around and noticed that Xia Weilan didn’t open her eyes. She tugged on his sleeves subconsciously and murmured, “Where are you going?”

“I’m not going anywhere.” At first, Mo Beichen wanted to go back to the study to continue reading the information. He immediately dismissed the idea, got into the bed and turned off the light.

Tonight, Xia Weilan slept very well.

She woke up just after dawn the next day. She habitually reached out her hand and touched the space next to her. However, she did not feel Mo Beichen. She immediately sat up, wide awake.

Mo Beichen walked out of the bathroom in sportswear.

Xia Weilan didn’t realize that the moment she saw Mo Beichen, her expression immediately eased. She stretched her body and got off the bed. “Are you going for a morning run? Wait up for me, I’m coming with you.”

AD

Today’s Xia Weilan is exceptionally enthusiastic and she is bursting with energy.

He silently watched as Xia Weilan entered the bathroom. He thought to himself, maybe Xia Weilan is not as depressed a few days ago because she made some new friends.

There was a small shrub outside the villa. They started running at the shrub. At first, Mo Beichen deliberately slowed down his pace as he was worried that Xia Weilan could not keep up with him. But unexpectedly, Xia Weilan can keep up with his pace. She was only panting slightly.

Mo Beichen had a new understanding of Xia Weilan.

After they returned to the villa, they had breakfast together.

On the dining table, a set of breakfast consisting of milk, steak, corn, rice porridge, and sausage was placed in front of Xia Weilan. And in front of Mo Beichen’s was a similar set with a portion twice as much as hers.

Xia Weilan thought that her portion was already a lot, but it was a far cry from Mo Beichen’s portion.

“No wonder you are still full of energy after running every morning. I suddenly discovered that there is a scientific reason behind this.” Xia Weilan glanced at him.

“My brain runs at a high speed every day. It is not an easy task to manage a company, so I need to replenish my energy.” Mo Beichen explained.
