CEO Husband Please Be Refrained

That afternoon, by the time Xia Weilan got off from her class, Butler Zhao was already waiting in front of the school gate. Xia Weilan just realized that she was supposed to stay at Xia Residence today. “Are we going straight home, young miss?” Butler Zhao asked while starting the car’s engine. “Let’s go to the bakery.” It was already evening when Xia Weilan reached the Xia Residence. The moment she got out of the car, she could hear Xia Roulin’s voice coming from the living room. She couldn’t hear what Xia Roulin was saying; she heard Old master Xia talking in a delighted tone. Xia Weilan straightened her skirt, smacked her lips and walked inside. 

“Grandpa~Look what I’ve bought for you!” Xia Roulin immediately straightened her neck and fixed her gaze at the girl who came in from the door carrying something in her hand. It was a transparent plastic bag with boxes of pastry inside. A mocking look slid across Xia Roulin’s face. She looked at Xia Weilan as if she’s looking at a fool. But she quickly concealed her true feelings and pretended to look normal. “What have you brought?” Old master Xia looked at Xia Weilan in surprise.

Xia Weilan came closer and placed the boxes of pastry on the table. She cheerfully said, “Grandpa, Sis Roulin mentioned that you like this sort of pastry so I bought some for you.” Xia Weilan turned her gaze at Xia Roulin and asked, “Isn’t it right, Sis Roulin?” Xia Roulin replied flawlessly, “Grandpa likes to eat sweet things when he plays a game of Go. He’s into all sorts of flavors.” Later on, even if Xia Weilan had ‘mistakenly bought’ Osmanthus cake, it had nothing to do with her. Xia Weilan laughed coldly in her heart.

“Grandpa, Let’s eat it. After all, sis bought them especially for you.” Xia Roulin’s clear voice sounded pure. Xia Weilan quickly picked a piece of cake. It was hard to tell what was the filling inside but Old master Xia took a bite without hesitation. It was of the right texture with the right sweetness. It was fragrance and delicious. “It tasted good!” Old master Xia complimented.

At this moment, Xia Roulin felt nervous instead. She asked doubtfully, “It’s delicious? Grandpa, I thought you can’t eat this flavor?” “Sis Roulin, you haven’t even tried the cake, how did you know which flavor I bought? Could it be that Grandpa has some sort of contraindication and you knew that he shouldn’t be eating what I’ve just bought?”

Having heard that, Old master Xia stopped smiling and looked at Xia Roulin. “What’s going on?” Xia Roulin’s heart almost jumped out from her throat. She forced a smile. “I saw that the color of these pastries is a little too dark, I’m just worried that Grandpa would find them too sweet. It’s not good to eat a lot.” That was obviously a random excuse, but Old master Xia didn’t doubt her.

“Is it too sweet, Grandpa?” Xia Weilan looked a bit uneasy, she blinked her eyes to leave a favorable impression. “How can it be too sweet, it tasted just nice. It’s perfect.” Old master Xia said and cast a glance of displeasure at Xia Roulin.

Xia Roulin could only forcefully apologize. She didn’t expect that Xia Weilan opened her mouth and said, “Grandpa, let’s play a game of Go together. I heard from Sis Roulin that you like to eat Osmanthus flower cake while playing a game of Go. But by the time I went to the bakery store, the Osmanthus flower cakes were already sold out so I only managed to get this type.” Osmanthus flower cake? Xia Roulin wished that she could tear Xia Weilan’s mouth as she saw Old master Xia’s face instantly become dull.

“Sis Weilan must have heard wrongly…” 

“Yea, I guess I might have heard wrongly!” 

“…” Xia Roulin became silent. 

For a moment, Old mater Xia glared at Xia Roulin with complex emotions. He continued to glare at her like that until she was trembling like a delicate flower in the wind. Xia Weilan picked up a cake, put it into her mouth and said nothing more.

After dinner, Xia Weilan proposed to Old master Xia that she intended to join the company as an intern. Xia Roulin immediately rejected the idea. She explained that Xia Weilan is too young and it would be better if she waits for two more years. Xia Weilan didn’t insist but she had agreed to it instead. Old master Xia was already a little displeased with Xia Roulin; at this instant, it was inevitable that he felt even more annoyed. Xia Roulin was rather sensible most of the time. But today, she acted as if she was deliberately aiming at Xia Weilan.

Old master Xia said in assurance, “If Xia-er wanted to work in the company, she can start anytime.” Xia Weilan curled her lips to a beautiful curve. “Grandpa, I planned to enroll in a Business and Management course this year. I wanted to master all the basics before joining the company so that I won’t be a laughing stock of the company.” 

In the past life, Xia Roulin allied with Ouyang Mingqi to poison grandpa causing him to become critically ill. This life, as long as she’s around, she wouldn’t let history repeat itself. Moreover, Old master Xia’s health condition is still considered fit now. She should be able to focus on her studies before joining the company.

Like the old saying ‘to perfect something that is already outstanding’, she had never done sloppy work when dealing with matters that came her way. Patience makes fine products. It’s just like a pot of soup that needs to be boiled slowly in order to produce a dense and creamy flavor. An impatient person hardly designed any impressive work. For example, Ling Xuefei.

She wondered if Ling Xuefei was in a terrible fix trying to come up with a good design to participate in the Jewelry Design Competition? The more impetuous she is, the more she couldn’t come out with anything good. By that time, she would be more greedy when she saw other’s good design drafts. Xia Weilan thought to herself, tomorrow she would go back to Ling Residence and send her a big gift. 

The next day, Xia Weilan went back to the Ling Residence. The servant who opened the door did not show any friendliness when she saw it was Xia Weilan at the door. Xia Weilan did not bother and entered the house. She headed straight into her bedroom. Her bedroom was originally a storage room, so it was slightly smaller than a standard bedroom. However, the room was fully furnished. Her working desk was scattered with draft sketches that she had not organized.

Xia Weilan rummaged through the sketches until she finally found that special design draft. Ling Xuefei had a good eye, the design draft that she stole was the most striking among the others. It seemed that Ling Xuefei had not stolen it yet. Xia Weilan put that draft back to the desk, mixing it with the others. She took out a tiny camera and looked around the room. Her gaze was fixed on a piece of painting on the wall.

A few minutes later, Xia Weilan walked out of her room with a suitcase. Wei Hongmei was sipping tea in the living room downstairs. She looked very distracted and she glanced at the bedroom upstairs from time to time. The servant had informed her that the wench was back to pack her belongings. Xia Hongwei put down her work at once and hurried home. She put on a pose while waiting for that wench to come down.

As expected, she heard the noise of the door closing coming from upstairs. Shortly after, a girl dressed came down the stairs. She was in expensive designer clothing from head to toe. Wei Hongmei squinted and she was utterly upset. 

 

Previously, this wench had been a burden to her, but she had let it be. Now she became wealthy and got married to a rich family. Is she thinking of abandoning her real mother? Is there really such a heartless person in this world? She is her mother. What is the difference between her doing this with abandoning her own mother?
