Xia Weilan thought that it was someone who came to deliver the clothing to her. She quickly opened the door but saw Ouayang Mingqi holding a gown, standing at the door instead. He passed the gown to her.

“I have a gown that fits you. Put it on.”

“There is no need for trouble. My grandpa will get someone to send it over.” Xia Weilan did not take the gown from him.

“What are you two doing?” Just at this moment, they heard rushing footsteps.

Mo Beichen’s expression was extremely hideous. He rushed over as soon as she heard that Xia Weilan spilled something on her gown. But what he saw was Xia Weilan in Ouyang Mingqi’s coat with Ouyang Mingqi standing at the door, looking at each other affectionately.

“Mr. Mo, I meant no harm.” Ouyang Mingqi took two steps back.

“Miss Xia, I had already delivered the dress. I’ll make a move first.” Ouyang Mingqi hurriedly shoved the gown to Xia Weilan and left as soon as he finished his words.

He could not afford to provoke Mo Beichen now.

Xia Weilan was dazed by the sudden change. The moment she reacted, she felt a tight grasp on her wrist and she was dragged into the room followed by the sound of the door slamming hard as if it was slamming into her heart. Mo Beichen’s sharp gaze swept across her wrist and noticed that she was still clutching onto that gown tightly.

“Listen, I can explain…” Xia Weilan opened her mouth. She finally figured out what she wanted to say.

But Mo Beichen snatched the gown and threw it into the rubbish bin furiously. He turned around and pressed her body against the wall hard. 

He said angrily, “Did I not feed you well? So, you accept anything that others give you?”

" "

Mo Beichen’s icy eyes once again landed on the coat that was around Xia Weilan. It was such an eyesore to him that he turned her around and stripped the coat off her. He threw the coat on the floor and pressed her back and asked, “You don’t feel dirty?!”

Xia Weilan blinked her eyes innocently. She could not see Mo Beichen’s eyes that were looking as dangerous as a Siberian Wolf right now. But she was trembling from his brutal aura.

“Let go of me first!” Xia Weilan pleaded.

Mo Beichen squinted and pushed her into the bathroom immediately.

“Talk to me after you washed off the scent from your body!”

He slammed the bathroom door and sat on the couch. Mo Beichen fixed his stare at the bathroom and felt extremely irritated.

Soon, the sound of water flowing came from the bathroom. Xia Weilan cleaned herself while she secretly cursed Mo Beichen for being unreasonable. It was nothing but a piece of clothing. Given the circumstances just now, she could not decline the offer. However, she also felt that Ouyang Mingqi’s scent was disgusting. Even if Mo Beichen didn’t ask her, she would have washed the scent off her.

‘Knock~knock~’ 

“Young miss, the clothes are here.” 

Mo Beichen opened the door with a cold expression. When he saw that it was from Old Master Xia’s servant, his expression eased slightly.

He closed the door and calmed down. Mo Beichen now recalled that Old Master Xia mentioned that he sent someone to bring Xia Weilan to the hotel room and had arranged for someone to deliver clothing to her. It seemed like Ouyang Mingqi came without an invitation and he shouldn’t blame Xia Weilan for this. But when he recalled Xia Weilan in Ouyang Mingqi’s coat, Mo Beichen could not control the discomfort creeping in his heart.

 “Put this on.” Mo Beichen stood at the bathroom door and said with a cold voice.

“Give it to me.” Xia Weilan opened a small gap. 

She extended her fair delicate hand and waved around in search of the clothing. Her round delicate shoulder was exposed, followed by her looming figure that was unobstructed.

Mo Beichen’s eyes darkened, but he still placed the clothing in her hand. He stood still at the door and felt his throat go dry. Rustling noise was heard behind the door, inviting one into fanciful thoughts. Mo Beichen placed his hand on the door’s handle. But he didn’t move.

The door suddenly opened. 

“Hubby~” 

Xia Weilan reddened eyes looked at him with unease, “I can explain, I…”

“Have you cleaned yourself?” Mo Beichen clenched his hands tightly behind his back and interrupted her with an expressionless face.

“Yeah, I’m clean.” Xia Weilan answered subconsciously. Her voice was extremely gentle as if she was acting coquettishly.

Mo Beichen clenched his hands tightly again behind his back. Xia Weilan saw that Mo Beichen was still angry. 

She reached out and grabbed Mo Beichen’s arm and said delicately, “Hubby. I didn’t mean it. I really don’t like Ouyang Mingqi. Not only that, I even hated him.”

Her gentle feminine voice echoed in Mo Beichen’s ears. It was lethally attracting him. Mo Beichen wished he could take her now. But it is not the right time now…

“Let’s go.” Mo Beichen opened the door and took Xia Weilan’s hand and walked out.

The ballroom was very lively. 

The moment Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan appeared, Old Master Mo immediately announced that Xia Weilan will dance as the opening to the banquet. 

Xia Weilan stood still and she realized that Mo Beichen had suddenly extended his hand toward her. The big hand with defined strong knuckles. It was just like Mo Beichen himself, who was fortitude enough to give others a sense of security. Xia Weilan couldn’t help but stared at Mo Beichen’s handsome face. Underneath the shadow of the lights, his facial feature was even more defined and deep. Although he was still emotionless, his eyes flashed with sincerity.  

Xia Weilan who was a little upset at first suddenly got over it, for she almost forgot about Mo Beichen’s character. From the outside, he appeared as an unreasonable person, but deep down, he was a soft big boy. What’s the big deal with him being little of a male chauvinist?

“Mo Beichen.” Xia Weilan extended her hand and he held it tightly.

The melody sounded and Mo Beichen led Xia Weilan onto the dancefloor. 

“Xia Weilan, remember that you are my wife.” 

Mo Beichen seized the opportunity during the gap of the music to whisper that statement in her ears. His voice was so soft, as if it’s a dream and it never existed in between the melody. But Xia Weilan heard it clearly.

The dance came to an end and everyone let out a big round of applause. Others started moving onto the dance floor with their partners. However, Xia Weilan was led by Mo Beichen into a corner. He withdrew his hands from hers and gazed at her with a profound look without saying anything.

“Hubby, did you just tell me that I am your wife? I know that I am Mrs. Mo.” Xia Weilan seized the opportunity to bring up the topic so that he could not pretend to let it slip.

“You still have a lot of shortcomings to fill in order to earn the title of Mrs. Mo.” Mo Beichen deliberately said with disdain.

“I will learn to be one.” 

Xia Weilan quickly whispered, “Hubby, can you teach me?”

Actually Xia Weilan felt that Mo Beichen had improved a lot compared to Mo Beichen from her previous life. The Mo Beichen from the previous life was moody and he always wore a cold face to ward off others. 

Mo Beichen saw the sincerity in her eyes. He was touched but he remained silent. 

She’s still young. There’s a lot of things that he’s afraid that she would find challenging if he taught her. Mo Beichen’s eyes were dark and deep as the abyss.
