Since the day Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan had sex, Mo Beichen’s attitude toward Xia Weilan had improved. However, he was still sleeping separately from her and Old master Mo heard about this from the servants.

That night, Old master Mo turned up unannounced at Fairview Imperial Court.

“You little brat, what’s the reason for you to get married? How dare you occupy a latrine but not shit (T/N: to be a dog in the manger). You’re pissing me off!” 

When Old master Mo saw one of them in the study and the other in the guest room, he immediately barged into the study and threw his temper at Mo Beichen.  

Mo Beichen lifted his head to stare at Old master Mo who was panting. His temples twitched but he said calmly, “There’s no need for you to get involved in this.”

Old master Mo said anxiously, “Are you telling me to stay out of this? How could I? Such a good girl was handed over to you but you wasted such a treasure. Go perform your duty of carrying on your ancestral line now, otherwise I’ll beat the sh*t out of you today…”

“Grandpa?” Suddenly a clear and elegant voice was heard from behind, interrupting Old master Mo. 

Xia Weilan was in casual attire with her hair pulled back behind her head. She stood outside the door obediently, looking innocent and confused.

When Old master Mo saw this, he felt resentful toward Mo Beichen for failing to meet his expectation. He glared at Mo Beichen and quickly walked to Xia Weilan and pulled her inside. 

“My child Wei Lan, that brat was so insensible to bully you. I had already educated him. From now on, you are moving into the master bedroom, grandpa will stand on your side.” 

“Grandpa…” Xia Weilan stole a glance at Mo Beichen and recalled the intimate night with Mo Beichen. 

She blushed and lowered her head. For this sort of thing, it’s no use for her to agree on her side, Mo Beichen needs to agree too.

Mo Beichen looked at Xia Weilan’s delicate appearance, his eyes turned dark. 

But he was firm, “No.” 

If they were to sleep in the same room, he’s afraid that he may not be able to control himself and he might hurt Xia Weilan like the other day…

“I won’t take no as an answer!!” Old master Mo shook his hands repeatedly. 

“Today, the two of you will be sleeping in the master bedroom.” 

Mo Beichen frowned and was silent for a few seconds. 

Eventually, he said, “Okay,  Grandpa, you can go home first.”

Regardless of how Old master Mo wanted to control them, he could only control what happened on the outside but not on the inside. As for what happened between him and Xia Weilan, the old master will not be able to have control over it. Old master Mo gave a stern warning stare to Mo Beichen before he left.

Old master Mo went to the living room and planked on the sofa. He wanted to wait and see if Mo Beichen really let Xia Weilan into the master bedroom before he could leave at ease. 

Inside the study, Mo Beichen suddenly said, “Go pack your stuff, you are moving into the master bedroom tonight.” 

Mo Beichen’s voice was cold. After he passed down the simple instruction, he continued sitting at his desk.

“Hubby?” Xia Weilan was delighted but she dropped her head as she saw that Mo Beichen looked reluctant and totally ignored her. 

She made her way out slowly. When she was in the corridor, she saw Old master Mo looking at her with a smile full of kindness from the living room downstairs. Xia Weilan immediately grinned and gave him a cheering gesture.

Xia Weilan returned to the guest room. She packed her clothes, toiletries and transferred them to the master bedroom. She opened Mo Beichen’s closet and there were shirts and coats lined up nearly inside it. There was a vacant corner so Xia Weilan put a few sets of clothes into that corner. 

She turned around and looked around Mo Beichen’s room in detail. It was the same black and white minimalist bedroom as the previous life. There’s a tv,  a row of bookshelf, closet and a huge ceiling to floor window inside the room. The bathroom was separated by semi-transparent frosted glass. 

Xia Weilan blushed as she took her toiletries inside the bathroom. She was worried that it might get awkward when Mo Beichen came in later so she quickly turned on the tap and let the hot water run so that she could take a bath first. The entire bathroom became steamy instantly.

Xia Weilan bathed and Mo Beichen’s silhouette flashed across her mind. She was thinking of his board and strong shoulders, moving down to his mermaid line that could make someone lost in wild and fanciful thoughts. And then, they hugged and kissed passionately.  

The more Xia Weilan thought about it, the more she felt her head getting dizzy as if she’s out of oxygen. Not knowing if it was caused by the excitement or caused by the heavy fog inside the bathroom.

By the time Xia Weilan walked out of the bathroom in a daze, she saw a calm and reserved man sitting on the sofa. Mo Beichen lifted his head to stare at her when he heard her coming out from the bathroom. Flashes of light were concealed in his eyes. 

“Do girls usually take such a long time to shower?” 

Mo Beichen stood up immediately and walked toward her. Xia Weilan’s face was still blushing, she blinked her lashes and looked at him with her heart throbbing insanely fast.

Mo Beichen’s throat burnt as he looked at her inviting look. The moment he walked past her, he immediately pressed onto her with her back against the wall, he leaned over and swept his thin lips along her hers.

“Urgh…” Xia Weilan clenched her little fist tightly. 

She had secretly looked forward to this. When two people are in a room, something is bound to happen. Mo Beichen’s pupils were darker than night. The beast that was hiding behind those eyes was on the verge of getting unleashed.

He let go of her lips and whispered into her ear with a husky and enticing voice, “Where do you want? Sofa or bed?”

Xia Weilan’s head was buzzing, she felt that her bond with Mo Beichen was not that strong yet, thus that sort of thing has more sense of security when done on the bed. 

“The bed….” Xia Weilan’s voice was so tender that Mo Beichen tightened his grip around her waist. 

“Alright, you’ll take the bed and I’ll take the sofa,” it seemed as if he was saying this in a constraint. 

Mo Beichen abruptly turned his body around and walked to the bathroom. 

‘Slam’ the sound of door closing resonated inside Xia Weilan’s heart. 

Xia Weilan slipped from the wall onto the ground, her brain was still tied in a knot. Did he say that she’ll sleep on the bed and he’ll sleep on the sofa?

After she came into realization of what Mo Beichen meant, Xia Weilan wished that she could dig a hole and crawl into it. She had misunderstood what he meant just now.

Inside the bathroom, Mo Beichen was holding on to the basin. The mist inside the bathroom had not dissipated, making the air hot and humid inside the bathroom. He felt dull and tugged on his tie irritably, exposing a small patch of his sun-kissed skin underneath the collar. He was soaked in a dangerous aura.

“Hubby, I’ll sleep first,” Xia Weilan’s sweet voice suddenly came from outside of the bathroom door. 

Through the frosted glass panel, Mo Beichen saw the petite figure climbing onto the bed quickly, it didn’t move after that.

Mo Beichen retrieved his stare and slowly calmed down. He slowly undid his buttons and removed the watch from his wrist and placed it on the basin top. He then went into the cold shower naked.

A few minutes later, Mo Beichen came out from the shower with his head dripping wet, draped with a towel. Xia Weilan was on the bed. Her lashes were trembling but her eyes were closed, pretending to be asleep.

Mo Beichen curled his lips to form a faint smile. He sat on the sofa, gently drying his hair with the towel but his sight never left the woman on the bed. Xia Weilan’s scarlet red face slowly subsided, her skin was delicate and fair once more. Her face was as tranquil as sleeping beauty but her toe that was exposed outside the quilt was tightly curled, not relaxing a single bit.
