CH 173

“Outsiders admired what you have. But what they didn’t know was how busy you were, working from morning until very late at night. Little did they know how much more effort you had put in compared to others and you are more cautious and conscientious than a bull.”

“Haha,” Mo Beichen thinks Xia Weilan’s remark is quite strange. No one has ever compared him to a bull. He curled his lips and looked at her with bright eyes, “If I am a bull, doesn’t that make you Princess Iron Fan?” (T/N: Princess Iron Fan is a character from a famous Chinese non-fictional novel- Journey To The West.)

Xia Weilan thought about the two images and couldn’t help but feel delighted, “There’s no way I can control you. Moreover, I don’t control your finances.”

Xia Weilan meant to say it casually, but Mo Beichen took it seriously. He took out a black card from his pocket and placed it in her hand, “Here’s your financial power.”

“I’m just joking.” Xia Weilan found Mo Beichen’s serious face a little funny.

Mo Beichen is so shrewd, can’t he tell that this is a joke?

“But I’m not joking.” Mo Beichen said and continued to eat.

Xia Weilan couldn’t help but tease, “My, my. Look at how the CEO of Mo Corps was scammed by a little girl. Haha.”

She put the card into her bag and looked at Mo Beichen with a lewd smile.

Hearing this, Mo Beichen lifted his gaze and their eyes met. His eyes looked a little profound, “You can scam me all you wanted. I am more than willing to let you scam me.”

Xia Weilan was speechless. Mo Beichen is definitely on a different level when it comes to being thick-skinned.

It was still early and there weren’t many people at the school gate yet.

Xia Weilan got out of Mo Beichen’s car and took a deep breath.

She suddenly turned around and said to Mo Beichen, “If you’re busy, you don’t have to send and pick me from school every day…”

“I want to see you sooner.” Mo Beichen said those words in a usual expression and he sealed her lips with his.

Xia Weilan’s face reddened immediately and she swept her gaze away. Luckily, there was no one watching them. She cleared her throat in embarrassment and responded softly before making a beeline toward the school gate.

Mo Beichen stared at her back and a spot in his heart was filled.

In the past, he didn’t know what love was. He mocked those men and women who lost themselves in a relationship. He never knew that one day, the thing that he looked forward to the most, was to wait for her to finish school and take her home.

The last class, during noontime.

“Sigh, this class is the most boring of all subjects.”

Rui Li was already complaining to Xia Weilan before the class started.

The teacher was very long-winded and she had to explain the same sentence several times.

Xia Weilan was also helpless. Whenever she is in his class, she would simply take out a draft paper and start sketching some designs.

“Miss Xia, please answer this question.”

Xia Weilan raised her head and saw the conscientious old man on the podium looking at her with a stern face.

She had no choice but to stop sketching. She stood up and took a glance at the question and immediately gave the answer that she had memorized.

In her past life, Xia Weilan had already memorized this subject. And she memorized it without missing a single word. After all, this is a theory subject and what she learned is the standard answers.

The old man touched his beard and said with satisfaction, “You’ve answered it very well. You may sit down now.”

Rui Li leaned closer to Xia Weilan and whispered in her ears, “I thought you didn’t know the answer.”

“I’ve memorized the entire book since a long time ago.” Xia Weilan explained in a low voice.

The old man’s gaze fell on Xia Weilan again. Seeing the two girls whispering to each other, the old man felt that Xia Weilan was a good student. It was understandable that Xia Weilan did not pay attention in class because she already knew the subject well. But what about the girl next to her? He was quite curious about it.

And so…

“Miss Rui, can you please answer this question.” The old man called out another name again.

Rui Li’s body went stiff. She slowly stood up and answered in a loud and clear voice, “Teacher, I don’t know the answer to this question.”

The whole class burst into laughter immediately. The teacher was very angry, “You are very arrogant for someone who didn’t know the answer. I want to memorize the answer at the school office later.”

Rui Li replied bluntly, “Okay.”

When Rui Li sat down again, she was blushing hard. She felt embarrassed for making a small mistake like this despite being an elite military soldier.

“Rui Li, you can start reading this chapter now. You will be able to memorize it in no time. All you need to do later is to make a quick run to the office for a while and you’ll be out in no time.”

Xia Weilan patted her on the shoulder but she was holding back a smile from the corner of her lips. She then lowered her head to continue sketching, but her shoulder kept shaking.

After school.

“Weilan, wait for me at the restaurant with the class monitor. I’ll join you shortly.” Rui Li picked up her bag and walked out.

It was obvious that she was a little impatient and she wanted to get over this as quickly as possible.

Xia Weilan and the class monitor walked out. On the boulevard, a girl called from behind, “Weilan-jie, wait for me.”

Xia Weilan turned her head and saw the freshman happily running toward them. She caught up with Xia Weilan and grabbed Xia Weilan’s arm, “Weilan, Liu Xin, may I eat with you?”

“Okay, let’s go.” Xia Weilan has a good impression of Le Xing.

So the three of them walked towards the school gate together.

Le Xin is a talkative girl, she chattered all the way. She said with admiration, “I adore someone like President Mo. Someone who looked uncle-like and I also like Han Yishi’s unruly style. Oh, and I also like Fan Ming. …Hey, Fan Ming. It’s Fan Ming.”

Le Xing said as she pointed excitedly at a man who stood not too far away.

Xia Weilan and the class monitor looked at Fan Ming. They were a little speechless toward Le Xing’s fickleness.

It seems that this little girl likes any man. As long as they are good-looking, she won’t reject them at all.

Fan Ming, who was about to go to the cafeteria turned his head when he heard someone calling him

The moment he saw the three of them, he was stunned. He immediately said something to his friend and walked toward Xia Weilan.

“Are you going to eat out? I’ll join you.”

“Sure, President.” Le Xing tugged Xia Weilan’s sleeve and immediately nodded in agreement.

“Okay.” Xia Weilan and the class monitor also responded.

Fan Ming walked out of school with the three of them.

The scene of the four people walking together attracted a lot of people’s attention.

“President, I met you yesterday. Do you still remember me?” Le Xing tried hard to make her presence known in front of Fan Ming.

Being a gentleman, Fan Ming responded to her question. He didn’t expect that this little girl would be this talkative. Sometimes, it’s very hard to answer the topic of her conversation. So Fan Ming could only politely give her a short response, pretending that he was listening.

This way, he wouldn’t appear rude or outcasted her.

They arrived at a nearby restaurant very quickly.

Xia Weilan asked them to go in first while she visited the bathroom. She washed her hand while sending the VIP room number to Rui Li.

Suddenly, a dagger was placed on her neck and she heard the grim low voice of a man from behind her, “Don’t move if you want to stay alive.”
