CEO Husband Please Be Refrained

At the bottom of the square box lay a worn-out book. Xia Roulin immediately chuckled when she saw the book. 

“What is ‘Lan Ke Pu’?” Xia Roulin asked in disgust as she took the book out as if exhibiting it for others to take a closer look at it. 

“It is ‘Lan Ke Pu’! This is the most unique kifu (T/N: it refers to the record of a game of Go) in the world. Let me have a look.”

“I’ll have a look too, I have been looking for this for a long long time.” 

“I heard that not long ago this book was bid at a high price during an auction. My old father was so upset that he almost vomited blood.”   

Those who commented were hardcore fans of the game of Go and those who knew the value of the book. 

Seeing how others drooled over his treasure, Old master Xia quickly said, “If anyone wished to read the book, you can come again on another day.”

And with that, Butler Liu put away the kifu. Xia Roulin awkwardly stood there with her raised hand. She felt as if she was slapped across the face in front of everyone. 

“So it is a kifu, excuse me for my ignorance and inexperience for not recognizing it,” Xia Roulin had lost her face completely. 

“So what’s the other gift?” 

Someone was even more curious about what’s inside the other box. Based on the earlier experience, the other present must have been extraordinary too.

 

Before Xia Roulin could react, a figure swept past her eyes. Xia Weilan leaped past her and walked in front of Butler Liu to take the box. She took out a translucent emerald-green Jadeite jade with the size of two palms from the box. The jade was carved into a vivid and realistic immortal statue. 

“Grandpa, this is an ornament that I carved myself. May your happiness be as immense as the East Sea and Lived as long as the Zhongnan Mountains! (T/N: it means long may you live with great happiness)” Xia Weilan bowed as she held the jade ornament with both hands. 

“Thanks for the thoughtful gift.”

Such exquisite craftsmanship was personally carved by Miss Xia herself? This would have taken at least ten years of practice to produce such handwork! 

At this moment, everyone had forgotten to pass on their compliment but stood with their mouth wide opened instead. Xia Roulin once again felt that she was slapped on her face over and over. The veins on her forehead throbbed uncontrollably. At this instant, Xia Weilan looked at Xia Roulin coldly. In the past life, the immortal statue was smashed by Xia Roulin right in front of her eyes after Xia Roulin poisoned grandpa. This life, she wanted to see how long can Xia Roulin uphold that dirty face of hers.

“Old master, your granddaughters were your best birthday gifts?” 

“Yeah, both of them were brimming with talent.” 

“They were really impressive. Old master had such a good blessing.” “Alright, everyone had seen the presents. It’s about time. Everyone, let’s take a seat!” Old master Xia was pleased. 

He said in a clear voice, “Today’s banquet was organized by my son’s daughter. I hope you all will enjoy it.” 

Old master Xia’s son’s daughter meant Xia Weilan. Everyone complimented her once again before taking a seat.

“Grandpa, you eat first. I have to go to the washroom.” Xia Weilan made an excuse to go to the washroom. 

She went to the balcony and texted Mo Beichen, “Grandpa loved the kifu from you. Are you still busy? What time will you be here?” 

Mo Beichen replied within the next minute, “Soon.” 

“Alright, I’ll wait for you.” Xia Weilan smiled as she put away her phone. 

“What’s so funny?” 

A low voice that was as warm as the sun suddenly rang from behind her.

Hearing that familiar and contrived voice made Xia Weilan’s smile disappear immediately. She turned her around and sure enough, she saw someone she really disliked – Ouyang Mingqi. 

Ouyang Mingqi was holding a glass of red wine with one hand crossed on his chest. His straight body half-leaned against the sill of the door behind him. In Xia Weilan’s eyes, such a handsome and elegant man was utterly disgusting to her.

“It’s none of your business!” Xia Weilan straightened her back as she put on her guard. 

Ouyang Mingqi squinted as he saw her turn hostile all of a sudden. 

“It’s a lovely evening. Would Miss Xia do me the honor and have a drink with me?” 

Xia Weilan just realized that there was a bottle of red wine and an empty wine glass on the railing next to Ouyang Mingqi. Not waiting for Xia Weilan to reject his invitation, Ouyang Mingqi filled a glassful of wine and passed it to her. 

He looked at her expectantly with a smile, “Miss Xia, I  have no ill-intention toward you.” 

Ouyang Mingqi was as tall as Mo Beichen and his facial feature was equally handsome. On top of that, he was more gentle than Mo Beichen. If it wasn’t because she knew beforehand that there was a sly fox hidden underneath that skin, Xia Weilan might have fallen for him again.

“Sorry, I am not feeling well so I can’t drink,” Xia Weilan pushed the glass of wine that was in front of her. 

“In that case, let me send you off to your room to take a rest,” Ouyang Mingqi said without batting an eyelid. 

He reached out his hand in an attempt to hold her around the waist.

“There’s no need for that!” Xia Weilan’s beautiful eyes flashed a warning sign to him. 

Ouyang Mingqi withdrew his hand in embarrassment. She’s indeed a petite flower full of thorns.

Underneath the tranquil moonlight, the man and woman on the balcony were standing close to each other. If looked from another angle, it seemed as though they were leaning against each other. Mo Beichen who had hurried over couldn’t find Xia Weilan in the outer hall. He raised his head instinctively and saw the silhouette of the two figures. He immediately narrowed his eyes. Xia Weilan, who was at the balcony, didn’t want to stay there any longer. The moment she took a step, she saw Mo Beichen rushing over. 

“You’re here!” Xia Weilan went beside him. 

Mo Beichen gave her a meaningful stare with his deep black eyes and took her into his arms like an eagle guarding its babies, protecting her in his arms. 

“Ouyang Mingqi, stay away from my wife.” 

“Mr. Mo’s temper is still as bad as ever,” Ouyang Mingqi shrugged innocently. 

Mo Beichen gave him a piercing stare and immediately dragged Xia Weilan away. 

They heard Ouyang Mingqi’s voice from behind them, “Miss Xia, since it’s inconvenient today, we’ll drink again another day.” 

Xia Weilan who was inside Mo Beichen’s arms distinctly felt his body paused for a moment before he continued to move forward. 

" "

Mo Beichen dragged Xia Weilan into her bedroom and closed the door behind him. 

He pressed her on the door panel and his scorching breath came down on the tip of her nose as he warned her, “You better stay away from that person!” 

Xia Weilan lifted her head and looked into the pair of eyes that were filled with rage.  

She blinked, “Hubby, did you also see that he harbors evil intentions?”  

Mo Beichen had not expected her to reply like this, his anger suddenly subsided. 

He squinted, “You knew?” 

“Yup, I knew. That’s why even though he kept pestering me, I never put on a good face for him. I did well didn’t I, hubby?”  

Her beautiful eyes sparkled as if anticipating someone to praise her. 

“Yeah, it is worth being praised. Then should I reward you?”

As soon as Mo Beichen finished his words, his thin lips immediately pressed against her sexy lips. He slid a hand to the back of her head, deepening his kiss on her. 

“Ummh~” Xia Weilan felt her body helplessly go weak. 

Luckily his large hand lifted her upward and bent her knees so that she could sit on top of his lap.
