CEO Husband Please Be Refrained

Xia Weilan stood in front of the lift for a while and watched the lift descending slowly while listening to the noise of the commotion from the office. 

She couldn’t hear what those colleagues were talking about clearly, but she knew that they must be talking about her.

Xia Weilan was the young miss of the Xia Family, so she couldn’t lower her status to curry favour with those who judged her. That was not her style. What she should be doing, was to do her best within her boundaries and let her capability do the rest of the talking.

‘Ding’ the door of the lift opened. Xia Weilan entered the empty lift and pressed ‘1’.

At the corridor not far away, Manager Yang saw the door of the lift closing slowly. He squinted as he saw the opportunity to please Xue Zhiqing. Thus, he walked in the opposite direction without hesitation.

Inside the lift, Xia Weilan was feeling a lot more relaxed being alone. At this moment, she heard a loud noise. The lift suddenly jerked and swayed hard before stopping. 

The sound of electricity buzzing and the flashing of the lift’s lighting filled Xia Weilan’s eyes and ears.

“Ah…” Xia Weilan was shocked by the sudden changes. She covered her mouth with her hand and immediately went pale from shock.

“Anyone out there?” Xia Weilan immediately knocked on the lift door as soon as she managed to react. She made a banging noise against the metal door. 

The air suddenly became cold and the atmosphere became creepy.

Xia Weilan knocked in vain for a while, not getting any response.

‘Chi~Chi’ the light flickered and it was completely dark. Xia Weilan could no longer see her own hand.

She felt her breathing getting a little unstable. She feel around her and slowly crouched on the floor, huddling her arms in silence. 

She really dreaded narrow and dark places. She took in a deep breath. Although she knew that she needed to relax, her heart kept racing and she started to feel lightheaded.

‘Ding’ a message came in and the mobile phone in her hand lit up.

Xia Weilan’s eyes brightened and immediately turned on the flashlight function of her phone. She quickly made a call.

‘Du…du…du…’ the person on the other end picked up the call after three rings.

In the second floor’s office, Manager Yang said in a soft voice, “President Xue, Xia Weilan was trapped inside the lift. She won’t be able to get out for a while.”

Manager Yang let out a mischievous laugh. It was obvious that Xue Zhiqing had said something pleasant. He kept nodding and said, “This is part of my duty. Eh…”

Manager Yang who stood beside the window, talking on the phone saw Mo Beichen running across the road from the building opposite to Xia Corp. He was holding his phone and it seemed as if he was attending to something urgent.

“What’s wrong?” Xue Zhiqing asked in astonishment.

Manager Yang retrieved his glance and thought that Mo Beichen was here for a business meeting. He quickly said, “Nothing, I just saw President Mo coming over. Is he here to discuss some business collaboration?”

“Stop talking nonsense and call the maintenance company quickly…” Xue Zhiqing quickly ordered and hung up.

Manager Yang was stunned. He put away the phone but was a little confused by Xue Zhiqing’s sudden change of attitude. He didn’t understand why he took the initiative to help that young miss. But even if he couldn’t understand, he still had to follow his instruction immediately. And so, he called the maintenance company.

When Mo Beichen entered the lobby, he already contacted the maintenance team. 

The security didn’t dare to query but just nodded politely when he saw Mo Beichen with an impatient look on his face.

Mo Beichen headed straight to the lift without taking a glance at others around him. He patted the lift door and said to Xia Weilan over the phone, “Can you hear me? I’m outside now.”

Xia Weilan heard the soft noise from inside the lift. Her worries suddenly diminished and she was even in the mood to joke. “Did you fly here?”  

In fact, with the Mo Corps and Xia Corps relationship, Mo Corps office building was just across the road.

During office hours, Mo Corps employees could even see the silhouette of busy workers through Xia Corps windows. Sometimes, they would even greet each other through the window. But it rarely happened.

Mo Beichen relaxed his brows when he heard her relaxed tone. He leaned against the lift door, waiting for the maintenance team while he chatted with her.

It was still office hour and no one really used the lift. So nobody knew that Mo Beichen who had always been cold and noble would be talking to someone over the phone in such a manner in the ground floor lobby.

Soon, two teams of maintenance staff rushed over. They stared at each other and cooperated to open the door. 

When Xia Weilan heard some noises, she stared at the direction of the noise in delight. When the door wedged open slowly, she saw a tall figure standing still in front.

His lashes were thick and long, his nose bridge was high, his chin was pointy and his facial outline was well defined.  He was looking toward her direction with the power to calm one’s senses. 

Just when the lift’s door was about to open fully, Mo Beichen took a step but he realized that Xia Weilan moved faster than him. She threw herself into his arms like a cute little bird.

Manager Yang who was standing nearby, opened his mouth in shock. Only now did he realize that Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan were a couple. He couldn’t help but regret.

If he knew about this earlier, he would have curry favor with Xia Weilan. Who would listen to Xue Zhiqing for making the life of a young miss miserable?

“Young Miss, are you alright?” Manager Yang quickly walked over with a board smile. 

“Just when I was about to go downstairs, I noticed something wrong with the lift. So I quickly get someone over to repair it. I didn’t expect that you were trapped inside.”

Manager Yang’s respectful and caring words had interrupted the mood of the two people in front of him.

Xia Weilan already withdrew herself from Mo Beichen’s arm and said in a firm voice, “I’m okay. Thanks Manager.”

Manager Yang laughed and wanted to say something. But Mo Beichen was already holding on to Xia Weilan’s hand and they were already leaving.

Manager Yang’s smile froze as he watched the silhouette of them leaving. He felt regretful again.

Xia Weilan must have hated him for what he did in the morning. For no reason, Manager Yang suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing across him. 

“Wait for me in the office.” Mo Beichen led Xia Weilan from his private lift into his office and left after saying that.

“Madam.” Xu Wei came in shortly while holding onto a cup of coffee. He placed it on the table and said, “President Mo left in the middle of the meeting just now. Please wait here for a while.”

After Xu Wei said respectfully, he withdrew and closed the door behind him.

Xia Weilan took a sip of the coffee and suddenly felt exhausted. She lay on the sofa and fell asleep.

She had a very good sleep. By the time Xia Weilan woke up, the room was dim.
