CEO Husband Please Be Refrained

“What? Xia Weilan is here again today?” Xia Roulin opened the door and dashed outside. Sure enough, she saw Xia Weilan, Mo Beichen and the old master having dinner cozily in the dining hall downstairs. 

“Miss Roulin, you can’t come out of your room. The old master will be angry if he caught you doing that.” The servant quickly said in a soft voice. 

Xia Roulin wanted to get her revenge from Xia Weilan but she couldn’t do it because of the old master’s presence. She could only bite her lips, stomped her feet and returned to her room irritably. She slammed the door hard.

That night, Mo Corp’s official website posted a new update to the name list of participants. Among them, Xia Weilan and Ling Xuefei’s names were found. They also announced that the final winner would be revealed in the afternoon, two days later.

Ling Residence.

“Dad, I don’t want to go to school. I want to start working with the company immediately. I don’t want to be laughed at by others at school.” Ling Xuefei pleaded Ling Jiancheng while tugging his sleeves. 

“Dad, I beg you.”

“Jiancheng, Xuefei is right. We don’t need Xuefei’s degree…” Wei Hongmei supported Ling Xuefei no matter what she said.

“Hmmph, no. You are going back to school tomorrow. And get along well with Xia Weilan. She is not someone we can mess around with now.” Ling Jiancheng already witnessed how President Mo pampered Xia Weilan. 

Right now, he wanted to be on Xia Weilan’s good side.

“What? You even wanted me to please her? I’m not doing it.” Ling Xuefei let go of his sleeves. She pouted her lips and cried, “You told me before that I can bully Xia Weilan anytime I wanted to, why do you want me to please her now? She’s nothing but an oil bottle (T/N: a child from the previous marriage). What is so great about her?”

Ling Jiancheng rubbed his forehead in fury. The veins on his foreheads were visible.

“That is before. The situation is different now.”

Suddenly, Ling Xuefei’s phone rang. She answered the call in a rage.

But the more she listened to the call, the more her face brightened up, “Alright, I will definitely be there.”

Ling Xuefei got off the call like a different person. She said proudly, “You wanted me to go back to school? No problem. But I have to wait for another two more days.”

“What’s going on?” Ling Jiancheng’s mind went blank for a few seconds.

“Dad, Mo Corp called just now. They invited me to participate in the Designing Competition’s award ceremony. Doesn’t this imply that my design was shortlisted? By that time, my reputation will be boosted. When I go back to school, nobody will dare to laugh at me.”

Ling Xuefei was full of spirit and she talked as if she had already won first place.

“That’s right, Xuefei had always been talented.” Wei Hongmei quickly flattered Ling Xuefei.

Ling Jiancheng was no longer angry. He looked at Ling Xuefei again and found that she was pleasant to the eyes, “Good job. If you really win, you can build up a good relationship with the Mo Corps. Daddy will find a way for you to work with Mo Corp. You help me to please Mo Beichen. That way, you won’t need to please Xia Weilan.” 

“Dad, I’ll put my best effort into it.” Ling Xuefei laughed and suddenly glared at Wei Hongmei, “Go pour me some tea! You useless thing.”

Wei Hongmei who was still smiling suddenly froze. She didn’t say anything and quickly got to work. Ling Jiancheng was not very pleased with Ling Xuefei’s arrogance. But he did not intervene. Afterall, Ling Xuefei had proved her worth, there’s nothing wrong with being a little domineering. Unlike Wei Hongmei who raised a child who bit the hands of the one who fed her, unable to manage her own child. 

Two days later.

Ling Xuefei frantically bought some jewelry and asked for a lot of pocket money from Ling Jiancheng. She started dolling up at noon. She wore a gorgeous long dress with a slanted shoulder design, gold tassels and lots of glittering paillettes. Ling Xuefeo was like a preserved female celebrity. The award ceremony was scheduled at 4 o’clock but Ling Xuefei was ready since two o’clock.

On the other side.

Xia Weilan followed Mo Beichen to the office and went to the President’s office using the special lift. 

“Are you thinking of wearing that to receive your first prize award?” Mo Beichen suddenly seized Xia Weilan and said emotionlessly.

Xia Weilan wore a simple and elegant long dress. She looked simple yet elegant. The dress had a slim cutting with a V-neck design. With her long bouncy hair draping behind her ears, she looked very pleasant to the eyes.

“It’s just that…why didn’t you wear any jewelry?” Mo Beichen dully pointed out the problem. 

Xia Weilan subconsciously reached out her hand to touch her delicate fair neck. There was nothing on her neck. 

Suddenly, Mo Beichen took out a necklace from his pocket and he immediately wore it on her neck. Xia Weilan noticed the fragrant scent of the men’s perfume enveloped her and immediately after, a cool sensation was felt around her neck. By the time she reacted, Mo Beichen already took a step back.

His long eyelashes were pointing down as he faintly said, “It’s perfect.”

Xia Weilan lowered her head. Even though she was already mentally prepared for this, what she saw in front of her eyes still caused a stir up to her emotion. She excitedly caressed the necklace and pendant. Even her breathing had become unstable. 

“This…this is my design. How…”

The necklace around her neck was indeed the design that she had submitted, ‘A Drop From The Ocean’. Under the silver color gold thread was the blue gemstone as blue as the ocean. Waves that looked like white clouds were set around the blue gemstone. The whole pendant was exquisite, with just a glance, one would be unable to take the eyes off it.

“You deserve this. In the future, this model will be mass-produced as a commercial product.” Mo Beichen had his hands behind his back. His lips slightly lifted and it was not difficult to tell that he was pleased. 

“President?” Xu Wei knocked on the office door.

“Come in.” Mo Beichen responded.

Xu Wei quickly opened the door and came in. He reported at once, “Ling Xuefei had just applied for withdrawal from the competition. The reason being she submitted the wrong design draft. It seems like she won’t be coming today.” 

“What happened?” Even Mo Beichen was a bit shocked.

Could it be that Ling Xuefei figured out something is not right?

Although Xia Weilan seemed to be ok on the outside, she tightened her clench around the hem of her skirt.  She even prepared the video of Ling Xuefei stealing her design draft, and Ling Xuefei had withdrawn from the competition? 

Xu Wei left immediately after he finished reporting.

“Feeling unhappy? No matter what, you are still the winner today.” Mo Beichen saw that Xia Weilan was unreconciled.

Xia Weilan drew in a breath and stood up, “You’re right, I am the champion” 

Shortly, at the Mo Corps lobby, under the lights and cameras of the reporters, Xia Weilan appeared wearing the jewelry that had won first place in the competition. Xia Weilan and this model of jewelry had become famous. 

“Excuse me, Miss Xia. Can you share with us, what is the concept of your design?” Asked a reporter holding a microphone.

Xia Weilan smiled sweetly and she didn’t have stage fright at all, “I had a dream, a dream of the ocean with the flowers blooming in spring. I hope I can urge myself to never forget my original intention. No matter how big a storm and wave that came my way, I hope in the end all will be quiet and everything will return to the original intention.”

The TV was broadcasting the live interview of Xia Weilan. In the room, Ling Xuefei was clenching on to her phone tightly, her heart was boiling with anger and unwillingness. 

In the phone, Xia Roulin’s cold voice was heard, “Do you believe it now? I told you already that this is a trap that they’ve laid especially for you to step into the pit and yet you still have doubt on me. Now the truth is told, you are the one who has been fooled.”
