CEO Husband Please Be Refrained

Xia Family’s old mansion.

In the living room, Old master Xia recalled Old master Mo mentioning to him this morning that they will be expecting a great-grandson very soon. Old master Xia was immediately criticized by Old master Mo.

“My little girl is still attending school. Do you want her to carry a big belly to school? This is not the right time. It had to wait until she graduated.”

But Old master Mo was unwilling to, he immediately said he couldn’t wait any longer. Old master Xia was upset and he called Mo Beichen to come over now to instill some correct system of values into him.

“Grandpa!” The sound of greetings interrupted Old master Xia’s mental journey. 

Old master Xia cast an imposing glance at Mo Beichen at once. He hmphed and sat upright. He waved to Xia Weilan, “My child, you’re home. Come here quickly.”

Old master Xia felt sorry for Xia Weilan who was sitting beside him. He immediately lifted his head to stare at Mo Beichen feeling quite unsatisfied. Mo Beichen’s expression was calm, but a wave of emotion flashed across his eyes. However, it was not obvious.

“My child, did Mo Beichen bully you?” Old master Xia quickly asked.

“He…” Xia Weilan lifted her head in baffled. She thought hard before she replied, “Hubby is very good to me.”

But the momentary pause had led to more doubts surfacing in Old master Xia’s heart. He knew Mo Beichen. He had always been icily arrogant. How could he love someone dearly?

Old master Xia was irritated. He looked at Mo Beichen as if he was a nobody and the more he saw him, the more irritated he was. He suddenly stood up and said to Mo Beichen, “You, come into my study.”

Old master Xia led Mo Beichen to the study in a fury. He slammed the door hard. 

With the door closed, Old master Xia scolded, “If I knew that you are such an animal, I wouldn’t even agree to let my granddaughter marry you. My girl is still so young and you already wanted her to help carry on your ancestral line…Do you acknowledge your mistake?”

Mo Beichen’s initially puzzled eyes suddenly gleamed with clarity. He waited for Old master Xia to finish before saying, “I will not force her.”
“This is more like a human’s word. Hmph! In short, I don’t allow both of you to have children now.” 

Old master Xia’s anger was half gone. He knew that Mo Beichen was a man of his words.

Mo Beichen’s forehead throbbed lightly. 

What is this about? I married a wife and wasn’t allowed to have a child? But who asked him to marry Xia Weilan who is just eighteen?

“I will behave appropriately.” Mo Beichen explained patiently.

He always disliked people interfering with his business. Today, he was already tolerating to his limits. Mo Beichen did not say more.

In the living room, Xia Weilan was browsing through Weibo casually. She saw the news that the Jewelry Design Competition organized by the Mo Corp had come to an end of their contest. In addition, a name list of all the contestants who submitted their draft was attached as well. Xia Weilan scanned through the name list and was surprised that her name was not there. She was puzzled. In the previous life, her design had won in the competition, how come in this life…

“What are you looking at?” Mo Beichen sat beside her. 

Xia Weilan buried her doubts. She lifted her head to look at Mo Beichen who was emotionless. She couldn’t help but ask, “Did anything strange happen with the company’s designing competition?” For example, two similar drafts were submitted. One designed by Xia Weilan and the other designed by Ling Xuefei.

“Strange things?” Mo Beichen thought over that statement and he came into realization, “Did you enter the competition too?”

Old master Xia who just came out heard the conversation. He interrupted excitedly, “My girl, did you participate in the competition? Did you win? I am very clear about my girl’s capability. I also admire her talent.”

" "

Xia Weilan was a little award at this moment, she kept her mouth shut. She is confident about herself but the situation now…

“It’s still too early to discuss this.” Mo Beichen helped Xia Weilan to get out of embarrassment as he saw Xia Weilan seemed to be at a loss.

After hearing this, Old master Xia moved his mouth as if he wanted to ask something.

“Do you want to go for a stroll in the garden?” Mo Beichen was the first to open his mouth.

“Grandpa, we’re going to take a stroll at the garden.” Xia Weilan had doubts that she needed answers. She stood up immediately.

In the garden.

Underneath the faint yellowish lamp posts, a man and a woman stood quietly.

“Tell me, what do you mean by strange?” Mo Beichen asked her.

“Strange as in, I submitted my design. But my name was not on the name list.” Xia Weilan said flatly. 

“You don’t believe me? Here…” Xia Weilan showed him the email of her submission to the competition.

Mo Beichen lowered his head with his hand clasped over hers, holding on to the screen while he read the email. An obscure look flashed through his eyes.

“So?” Xia Weilan felt that he had spent a long time looking at it. Their hands that were holding onto each other were already sweaty.

“Yeap, you had indeed submitted.” Mo Beichen finally let go of her hands.

“Maybe there’s a mistake. Let me check.”

Mo Beichen immediately made a call in front of Xia Weilan, “Xu Wei, help me check if there’s any submission from Xia Weilan for this year’s Designing Competition. Come back to me in ten minutes.” 

After he laid his instruction, Mo Beichen hung up the phone.

“Does this count as going through the back door?” Xia Weilan saw him being so solemn, she couldn’t help and started teasing him.

“Nope.” Mo Beichen replied very earnestly. The shadow cast by his tall and imposing body shrouded on Xia Weilan’s face. But Xia Weilan’s eyes were still exceptionally good looking without losing its radiance.

Mo Beichen lowered his eyes to gaze at her. His breathing became slightly heavier. With his back facing the light, an unclear pampering expression flashed across his face. At this moment, Mo Beichen’s phone rang, it had only been two minutes.

“Talk.” Mo Beichen remained on the same spot. He felt the little girl in front of him suddenly lift her face with a curious look.

“Duplicate submission?” Mo Beichen’s aura suddenly became cold as if he is not happy.

“Yes, It was a week’s gap between the two submissions. It was Xia…Mrs. Mo who submitted first. The staff found out about it and disqualified their participation. I just knew about this.”

This is Mo Corp’s young master’s wife. It was his staff who seized the young master’s wife’s design. Do they want to die?

“Wait for my order.” Mo Beichen immediately hung up the phone. 

" "

“Don’t tell me it’s your staff who seized my design?” Xia Weilan winked her astute eyes. She was a bit annoyed.

“You don’t seem surprised.”

“Is it because of the same design but different designers? And the other one was Ling Xuefei?” Xia Weilan blinked. A look of clarity flashed in her eyes. She was feeling pleased with herself after she had achieved her goal.

Mo Beichen did not reply. He looked at her deeply and profoundly.

They both looked at each other and saw the same light in each other’s eyes.

Not long later, they returned to the dining room together to have dinner. When it was time for dinner, the kitchen’s servant carried the meal upstairs and knocked on Xia Roulin’s bedroom door.

“Miss Roulin, dinner is ready.”

Xia Roulin who had been grounded for ten days was jittery, she shouted, “Come in.”

The servants immediately respectfully entered the room and placed the meal on the table. When she was able to walk out of the room, Xia Roulin suddenly stopped her, “Come back. Don’t you know I don’t like to eat these? Redo a new one for me.”

“Miss Roulin, the old master, had commanded the kitchen to cook the dishes that the eldest young miss liked, so…”
