Mo Beichen gazed at Xia Weilan subconsciously and noticed that she frowned slightly but very quickly regained her calm emotion.

“Tell him that I am not in.” Mo Beichen said.

“Ling Jianzheng also informed that he is willing to sell his company to Mo Corp.” The security guard delivered the message.

“Let him in.” Xia Weilan suddenly said.

Mo Beichen waved his hand and gazed at Xia Weilan.

“Although Ling Corp is in a mess now, Ling Jianchen had signed an oversea deal not long ago. That deal is legit. It’s the jade from the northern area of M Country and the color of the unearthed jades were good.” Xia Weilan analyzed.

In her previous life, she came to learn that Mo Beichen discovered this piece of land with gems and intended to place a deal. However, Ouyang Mingqi got the inside news earlier and snatched the opportunity from him. The informant was Xia Weilan.

“How did you know?” Mo Beichen was a little surprised from what she had just said. 

Even when Ling Jiancheng was treating it as a gamble when he was discussing that business. But Xia Weilan was absolutely certain that those jade were good.

“I knew about it by accident.” Xia Weilan blinked her eyes in guilt.

Mo Beichen’s eyes turned darker but did not question further.

At this moment, Ling Jiancheng was escorted by the security guard.
“Let’s go to the study.” Mo Beichen immediately went upstairs.

Ling Jiancheng quickly followed behind.

The both of them chatted for a while in the study. 

Not long after, Ling Jiancheng came out. His expression was calm and he nodded to Xia Weilan before leaving.

“How did it go?” Xia Weilan went inside the study immediately.

Mo Beichen passed her a document.

Xia Weilan read through the document and lifted her gaze, “That means Ling Corp will belong to Mo Corp? Is Ling Jiancheng really willing to give up?” 

“Even if he doesn’t, Ling Corp will eventually go bankrupt. Ling Jiancheng will be burdened with debts. It’s better off to transfer it to Mo Corp. In addition, he requested to work at Mo Corp.” 

Mo Beichen curled his lips as if he’s talking about something that trivial.

“Aren’t you afraid of inviting a sly fox into your company?” Xia Weilan opened her eyes wide in disapproval.

“Mrs. Mo, are you worried about me?” Mo Beichen suddenly stood up and leaned against the side of the desk and teased her.

“Well, you’re so sharp. Except for some certain time. It’s almost impossible for others to ambush you.” Xia Weilan suddenly felt at ease.

“Certain time? When are you referring to?” Mo Beichen gazed at her with his deep eyes exploring her expressions.

“Of course when you are being lured by beauty.” As soon as Xia Weilan blurted out her words, she quickly covered her mouth.

Oh no! I told him the truth.

Mo Beichen narrowed his eyes and thought about it for a while. He nodded seriously and gazed at her with a profound look, “Make sense.”

Xia Weilan’s mind went blank and she had already forgotten about Ling Jiancheng going to work at Mo Corp. 

She felt a little guilty and suddenly lowered her head. In her previous life, she had set up Mo Beichen. Fortunately, Mo Beichen was unaware about it now. Otherwise, she doesn’t know how he would get back at her. 

She had absolutely no idea that Mo Beichen was monitoring her actions discreetly. 

Xia Weilan was acting a little strange today. For example, how did she know that the jades from the north side of M Country must be of good quality? Xia Weilan had never been to M Country. 

‘Boom~’ a lightning streaked across the night sky followed by heavy rain that came pouring down. The raindrops hit on the windows making loud noises. 

Xia Weilan was startled and ducked. In the next second, she was pulled into Mo Beichen’s arms.

Xia Weilan who was initially tense suddenly relaxed. The tip of her nostril was filled with a gush of pleasant male fragrance that made her feel at ease. The rain was pouring hard outside but the atmosphere inside the study was as warm as the sun.

They were hugging onto each other. After a while, Xia Weilan lifted her head to look at him. 

At first, she intended to tell him that she was only startled and she was not afraid of lightning. 

But she suddenly changed her mind, “Hubby, I’m scared.”

“I know.” Mo Beichen said softly. 

He comforted her, “I’ll bring you a place.”

Xia Weilan hardly went to the fourth floor of Fairview Imperial Garden. Mo Beichen brought Xia Weilan into a room that resembled a home cinema. He closed the door and the thunder from outside disappeared magically.

“This room has excellent sound-proof effect.” Xia Weilan twitched her mouth and pulled away from his arms. 

There was no reason for her to lean on him anymore.

There was a giant screen and four soft leather sofas inside the room.

“Let’s watch a movie.” Xia Weilan took the controller and started flipping randomly.

There were alot of new movies on the display screen. Xia Weilan’s eyes brightened up and chose a movie that was obviously a romance movie. 

The sofas were two seaters and Xia Weilan automatically sat beside Mo Beichen. They leaned against each other. 

The lights dimmed and the movie started.

The soft light gently cast it’s rays on the brows of the two people on the sofa. They were serene and tranquil. However it was still pouring heavily outside. It rained throughout the night. 

Unknowingly, Xia Weilan fell asleep while leaning on Mo Beichen’s body. She had a good sleep. Mo Beichen’s gaze fell on her brows and there was a rare tenderness in his eyes.

The next morning.

When Xia Weilan woke up, she found herself in the master bedroom and the sky was clear outside.

Xia Weilan got off the bed but Mo Beichen was not in the bedroom. She looked at the clock, it was already eight in the morning.

It was sunday today, so Xia Weilan was not in a rush. She took her time to wash up before going downstairs.

“You’re awake madam. Breakfast is ready. Before the young master left home, he had requested us to boil some soup for you to warm your body.”

Aunt Tian wiped her hands while she went into the kitchen to take out a bowl of hot soup. Xia Weilan sat on the chair, eating breakfast while flipping the news. The latest news was about Mo Corp buyout Ling Corp. 

Xia Weilan twitched her mouth. She had not expected that Mo Beichen would act so promptly. She rubbed her chin and wondered why her progress with Mo Beichen was so slow. After the night that Mo Beichen acted as her antidote, Mo Beichen had not touched her.

Just as Xia Weilan was lost in thoughts, the message notification suddenly sounded. It was a friend request from someone named Smiling Fox. The friend message request was, [Hi Sister-in-law. I am Mo-ge’s bestie, Nan Fengyan.]

Xia Weilan knew Nan Fengyan. He didn’t have a proper job and was scornful. However, in her previous life, because of Mo Beichen, Nan Fengyan was friendly toward her and he did not have any ill-manners toward her, except for his misbehaving speech.

Thinking of that, Xia Weilan accepted his friend request. A while later, her WeChat chat notification sounded. 

Smiling Fox, [Sis-in-law, come out with Mo-ge tonight. It’s on me. Please join us!]
