Cold air lingered in the bathroom. Although Mo Beichen already turned off the shower, Xia Weilan couldn’t help but still let out a sneeze because her body was drenched.

Mo Beichen frowned as he retrieved the hand that he had extended. He said coldly, “Do you know how dangerous it is for a girl to get drunk outside during nighttime?!” 

Xia Weilan shivered. It seemed as though something crossed her mind and she suddenly took another glance at the scar on Mo Beichen’s neck. She ducked and asked after she got it figured out. 

“Did I make this?”

“Hmph!” The vicious aura around Mo Beichen didn’t decrease. He quickly spun around and walked out. 

Before he closed the door, he said, “Wash off the foul smell on your body before stepping out.”

‘Slam!’ 

The bathroom door was shut tight.

Xia Weilan twitched her mouth as she immediately turned on the hot water and bathed herself again. She walked out of the bathroom after her body had warmed up.

As soon as she opened the door, a pile of cosy stuff came crashing down on top of her head.

“Put on your clothing properly. You’re sleeping in the bedroom next door tonight!”

Xia Weilan removed the sleeping gown that covered her head in confusion. She pouted her lips and was a little upset. 

“Hubby, I did wrong. Does it still hur…” Hurt.

Before she could finish her words, she was pushed inside the bathroom by a powerful force. 

Xia Weilan rustled for a while inside. When she finished putting on her clothes, she opened the door quietly and poked out her head to find that Mo Beichen was sitting on the sofa, reading a magazine.

At this moment, Mo Beichen’s face was extremely hideous and he resembled the King of Hell. The cold aura that lingered around him seemed to be able to freeze anything that was within a hundred square meters.

Xia Weilan felt that Mo Beichen was making a fuss. But she didn’t dare to mess with him now, so she obediently opened the door and walked out.  

When she was outside the room, Aunt Tian already stood at the door with a bowl of soup. 

“Young Madam, here’s some anti-cold medicine. Please drink it to avoid falling sick.”

“Thanks, Aunt Tian.” Xia Weilan took the bowl of soup and finished it in a gulp. She walked weakly to the bedroom next door.

“Young Madam, why are you…” Aunt Tian stared at her in astonishment.

Xia Weilan placed her hand on the door handle and said calmly, “I’m afraid I might catch a flu tonight and passed it to hubby. So I’m sleeping here tonight.”

“I see. Young Madam is so thoughtful.” Aunt Tian smiled immediately.

Xia Weilan paused for a while before she opened the door and walked in. She laid on the warm bed and stared blankly at the ceiling with her arms wide open. 

In her memory, she only recalled that she had a few drinks, but what happened next was all blurry. She couldn’t recall anything after that and definitely couldn’t recall how she injured Mo Beichen.

At this moment, Rui Li’s call came in. Xia Weilan took a glance and answered, “Hello?”

“Weilan, did your business talk went well today?”

“Yeah, it went quite well.” Xia Weilan turned her body and said moodily, “Mr Hui Te agreed to visit our office tomorrow and have a chat with grandpa. I won’t be in charge though about what’s happening after that.”

“Aren’t you supposed to be happy? Why did you sound depressed?” Rui Li could sense that something was wrong.

Xia Weilan closed her eyes and said embarrassingly, “I got drunk and scratched Mo Beichen’s neck. He was very angry.”

“This can’t be true! You’re so tough! You even managed to hurt him!” Rui Li immediately raised her voice in surprise and then refrained herself a little. “Haha. What I meant to say was that you’ve gotten yourself into some serious trouble. What are you planning to do?”

Xia Weilan grabbed a handful of hair and kept twisting it. “Of course to figure out how to tame his anger. But I haven’t figured out how to do it.”

Xia Weilan had a bitter expression. She was looking confused and kept shifting her gaze around the room.

“I think you can do something romantic such as giving him flowers, gifts or something like a candlelight dinner.” In Rui Li’s mind, her idea of romance were these sorts of things.

Xia Weilan’s eyes brightened, “I think I have an idea on what I wanted to do.”

“That’s fast. What do you have in mind?” Rui Li asked curiously.

“Hehe, of course the most romantic thing ever.” Xia Weilan raised her voice and her lips curled into a smile. 

The next morning.

After Xia Weilan finished washing up, she walked to Mo Beichen’s bedroom and knocked on the door. 

“Hubby, are you awake?”

She waited for a while. After seeing that there was no response, Xia Weilan opened the door and noticed that Mo Beichen had already left.

Xia Weilan stared at the time on the clock beside the bed. It was only six-thirty in the morning. Usually, Mo Beichen leaves at seven-thirty. 

But today, was it because he was still angry and didn’t want to see her?

Xia Weilan didn’t feel dismayed. She went to work at Xia Corp after she finished her breakfast. Today, she didn’t go into the design department but instead, she took the VIP lift and went to Old Master Xia’s office.

“Grandpa!” Xia Weilan walked in directly and nobody dared to stop her.

In the office, Xia Weilan informed Old Master Xia regarding Mr Hui Te’s agreement.

“Grandpa, Mr Hui Tei already agreed. He will bring the samples to the office to discuss the details of the collaboration. He’ll be coming at ten o’clock this morning. By that time, Grandpa will be discussing it with him personally.”

“Hui Te?” Old Master Xia didn’t expect that Xia Weilan would be so efficient. She only mentioned that she wanted to look for an emerald dealer two days ago and today, she had already found one.

“I’ve heard about this Mr Hui Te. He’s an American and only work with high-end custom designers. How did he agree to sign a contract with our company?”

“Grandpa, actually, Mr Hui Te really liked my jewelry design. And so, he agreed to provide the materials for us.” Xia Weilan couldn’t hide the excitement in her tone.  

Old Master Xia listened to her while fixing his stares on her. He let out a big sigh of relief after a long while and said, “You really didn’t disappoint me!”

That morning, while Xia Weilan was working at the design department, Manager Yang came to the design department and said rather urgently, “Young Miss, hurry. Mr Hui Te from the State is here at the office. He is now having a business talk with the Old Master in the office and he requested that he wanted to see you now.”

Manager Yang’s words were like a bomb that exploded in the design department. After Xia Weilan left, Gao Lele and a few designers gathered. 

“Did I hear wrongly? That famous gemstone merchant wanted to collaborate with Xia Corp? Not only that, he knew Xia Weilan?”

The director of the design department brightened her eyes. She returned to her office cheerfully and didn’t participate in the discussion that was going on outside.

That morning, Xia Corp had successfully signed the deal for emerald.

During noontime, Old Master Xia treated Mr Hui Te for lunch and brought Xia Weilan along. Over the dining table, Xia Weilan exhibited the conversation style of an influential family and she was humorous. This had once again brought a pleasant surprise to Old Master Xia. 

When they were back to the Xia Corp office, Old Master Xia said to Xia Weilan, “My child, after not seeing you for a few days, I was very surprised to find that you had become so calm and restrained.”
