CEO Husband Please Be Refrained

Just as Xia Weilan was bored to death and decided to read a book, she was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of her phone. 

“Grandpa?”

It was Old Master Xia who called from the hospital. He informed her that he would be discharged tonight and wanted her to be home for dinner.

That evening at Xia’s Family Old Mansion. 

In the study, Old Master Xia’s complexion looked great. He held Xia Weilan’s hand, unwilling to let go. He quickly asked, “My child, are you getting used to doing internships at the company?”

Xia Weilan told Old Master Xia about her idea of sourcing emerald dealers. 

“Grandpa, I admitted that I’m acting on my own initiative. But I really think that this is very helpful for the company’s future development.”   

Old Master Xia’s eyes brightened. “I’ve long thought about the same idea as yours and had passed this to Zhiqing to deal with it. But there was still no suitable dealer until now. If you are able to find a suitable dealer, that would be great.”

Both of them talked a lot in the study. Xia Weilan was even more confident under Old Master Xia’s encouragement.

After Xia Weilan returned from the Xia Residence to Fairview Imperial Court, she headed straight into the study and checked on the information of the few gemstone suppliers. 

A few days later, a large-scale socialite banquet would be held in Beijing. The venue will be at Junma Gold Club. A lot of individuals from the jewellery world were being invited. 

On that evening, Xia Weilan wore a simple coloured gown with a V neck design. She wore the emerald necklace that she designed around her fair neck. The moment she appeared at the entrance, she already captured the attention of a lot of people. 

The security guard extended his hand and blocked Xia Weilan. “Miss, do you have an invitation card?”

By now, Xia Weilan realized that everyone was holding an invitation card in their hand. She was the only one who came empty-handed. Xia Weilan remained calm and collected as she smiled, “My invitation card is with my friend. I’ll wait for her.” 

Xia Weilan braced herself and stood aside. Just when she was about to take out her phone to call Mo Beichen for his help, she heard a familiar voice beside her. 

“Weilan?”

An elegant and graceful lady walked toward Xia Weilan.

“Mrs Feng?” Xia Weilan greeted her delightfully.

Mrs Feng sized up Xia Weilan in surprise. 

“Why are you standing here?”

Xia Weilan let out a smile embarrassedly. Not waiting for her to reply, Mrs Feng with a pure heart and spirit stepped forward and held Xia Weilan’s hand. 

“Come, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Let’s go inside.”  

The security guard took a glance at Mrs Feng’s invitation card and let them pass through without a word.

“This banquet used a real-name system. Every invited guest is allowed to bring a guest along…” Mrs Feng spoke as they walked.

Xia Weilan thanked her and looked around to search for Mr Hui Te. He was a very famous emerald businessman from the United State of America. It was just perfect timing that he is now in Beijing.

“Are you looking for Hui Te for a business talk?” Mrs Feng could already see Xia Weilan’s intention. She had recently heard about Xia Weilan sourcing for a jewellery dealer but became a laughing stock.

“Yes.” Xia Weilan didn’t conceal herself in front of Mrs Feng. “I wanted to discuss collaboration with him.”

“That’s such a coincidence. I happened to know him. Let me recommend you to him.” As soon as Mrs Feng finished her words, she immediately led Xia Weilan to where Hui Te was.

Hui Te was wearing a gentleman’s swallow-tailed coat. A lot of pretty boys and beautiful ladies surrounded him as if all the stars cup themselves around the moon. (T/N: all the stars cup themselves around the moon refers to viewing somebody as a core figure.)

“Mr Hui Te, we meet again.” Mrs Feng’s voice was gentle as water. 

“How are you, Mrs Feng.” Hui Te gave Mrs Feng a kiss on the back of the hand like a gentleman.

A noble lady beside stared at the necklace on Xia Weilan’s neck and her eyes brightened. “Wow, this jewellery is very unique. Which brand is it from?” 

The few noble ladies were attracted by the jewellery on Xia Weilan’s neck and they surrounded her in curiosity. 

“Mrs Feng, who’s your friend here? The jewellery she wore is really beautiful.”

“Yeah, I wanted to buy one for myself.”

Mr Hui Te also gazed at Xia Weilan. When he shifted his gaze to her necklace. He frowned and said in an obviously displeased manner, “This lady, how could you wear a fake gemstone?”

“What? Fake gemstone?” The few noble ladies cried out in surprise. Even Mrs Feng was astonished. 

Xia Weilan didn’t panic. She said to Mr Hui Te, “Sir, the necklace that I wore was designed by myself. Because I couldn’t find a suitable gemstone, I resorted to using some common gemstones.”

“ I see.” Mr Hui Te put on an expression of appreciation. “Your design is really good.”

When Mrs Feng heard his words, she immediately followed up with Xia Weilan’s conversation.

“Mr Hui Te, to be quite honest, my friend is purposely here to discuss about doing a business of emerald with you.”

“Oh? And which company is this young lady from?” Mr Hui Te asked modestly.

After learning that Xia Weilan was from Xia Corp, Mr Hui Te spoke forthrightly, “That’s strange. I know Xia Corp, their main theme was red ruby and they were indeed missing out on emerald. I’ve always thought that ruby was the unique preference of the president of Xia Corps. 

The few of them chatted. Mrs Feng suggested that they should have a meal together and Mr Hui Te gladly agreed.

Over the dining table, Mr Hui Te was impressed by Xia Weilan’s level of understanding on jewellery. 

“I hadn’t expected that Miss Xia would have so much insight about gemstones and your jewellery design was of divine skill. I’m willing to work together with a partner like you,” said Mr Hui Te.

When Mr Hui Te left, Xia Weilan had already drunk a lot of wine. 

“Are you okay, Wei Lan?”

“I’m alright.” Xia Weilan blinked her already reddened eyes and an evil smile lifted from the corner of her lips.

“Good to know that you are alright.” Mrs Feng let out a sigh of relief.

However, in the next second, Xia Weilan suddenly covered her stomach with her hand and crouched on the floor and retched. When she lifted her head again, her eyes were already extremely hazy.

“Oh my, Wei Lan. You really had too much!” Mrs Feng quickly helped Xia Weilan on a chair and let her have some fresh air while she made a call. 

“President Mo…”

Xia Weilan had no idea how she made her way back to Fairview Imperial Court. By the time she realized she was home, she was leaning in someone’s arms and she was placed on the sofa. 

When she finally found her bearing out of confusion and disorientation, her eyes met a pair of black eyes that looked similar to a cat. Those eyes were filled with brightness and Xia Weilan couldn’t resist the urge to touch it.

“What are you doing?” Mo Beichen caught her disobedient hand. He was so close to getting his eyes poked by her sharp nails. He couldn’t help but stare at her coldly.

Xia Weilan wasn’t even aware of what was going on around her at all. Because her wrist was extremely uncomfortable from his grip, she struggled with all her might to break free from his grip.

“Let go…” Xia Weilan squirted her eyes and couldn’t even see clearly. She only screamed in fury and kicked her leg subconsciously. Her hard kick landed on Mo Beichen’s knee.

She was like a child who was making trouble for no reason. 

Mo Beichen bear with the pain on his knee and dragged Xia Weilan to the bathroom. He turned on the shower and splashed the water on her.

" "

The bone-chilling sensation suddenly invaded Xia Weilan, causing her to stop her actions. She shivered and regained a little bit of clarity. She was able to see the person in front of her clearly.

Mo Beichen was holding onto the showerhead with one hand and his other hand was grabbing onto her hand. He stood outside the shower, looking at her with a heavy expression.

“Hubby…why are you doing this to me?” Xia Weilan looked at him innocently. She reached her hand and pointed her at his neck and widened her eyes. She said furiously, “Which woman made this?!”

Xia Weilan pointed on a scratch that was slightly bleeding on his neck that was made by the fingernail.

Mo Beichen’s expression became even darker when he heard her words.
