Meanwhile at Xia Corp, the designing department was having their usual morning meeting in the conference room. Xia Weilan sat at the corner, holding a pen and paper with her head lowered. But it had been half an hour since she last moved. 

Even the director of the designing department couldn’t help but took a few glances at Xia Weilan. She thought that Xia Weilan was focused on thinking about work, so she didn’t say anything. 

When the meeting ended, Xia Weilan looked distracted. She was frowning and was worried that Mo Beichen might hit or bump himself because of the restricted movement on his hand.

When she returned to her desk, she picked up her phone and called Mo Beichen’s secretary to ask about his condition.

“Hello young madam, is there anything I can assist you with?” Xu Wei asked respectfully.

“I wanted to ask if Mo Beichen is able to work conveniently today?”

Xu Wei understood immediately and quickly reported, “President Mo is doing fine. It’s just that he removed his bandage. During the meeting, we didn’t notice anything unusual.”

“He removed the bandage?” Xia Weilan asked in worry, “Why did he remove it?”

The doctor mentioned that he should be wearing the bandage for three days.

“Well…” Xu Wei paused for a while before saying, “President Mo has his own measures.”

Xia Weilan hung up the phone. She was even more worried now as she was worried that Mo Beichen was forcing himself and didn’t know how to take care of himself.

Without realizing, it was already lunch break. Xia Weilan quickly took her bag and headed to the lift, wanting to check on Mo Beichen’s condition.

Xia Weilan saw the lift descending from the top floor. She didn’t really take notice until the moment the lift door opened, she saw Xia Roulin with an unpleasant look on her face.

“What bad luck this is!” Xia Roulin said in a weird tone while chuckling.

Xia Weilan frowned but still went in the lift.

The atmosphere inside the lift froze and the lift slowly descended.

From the corner of her eyes, Xia Weilan saw that Xia Roulin was holding a thermal flask in her hand and she could smell a faint scent of rice fragrance.

“I heard that you’ve made some trouble and Beichen-ge was injured because of you.” Xia Roulin suddenly cast a stern glance at Xia Weilan.

“You’re too nosy. This is a private matter between us as husband and wife.” Xia Weilan said coldly with a calm tone. But to Xia Roulin, it seemed like she’s mocking her.

Xia Roulin felt a painful jab in her heart and she grabbed the thermos flask in her hand tightly. That was the soup that she personally boiled. She was going to deliver it to Mo Beichen. 

She knew that Mo Beichen had prohibited her from entering Mo Corp. But today, Mo Beichen was having a meeting outside, so it’s convenient for her to deliver the food to him.

Xia Roulin felt that she was such a virtuous woman. She looked at Xia Weilan and felt that she’s really insensible and doesn’t deserve to stand beside Mo Beichen.

Xia Weilan noticed Xia Roulin’s delightful look, but she didn’t bother about her. When the lift stopped at the ground level, she quickly walked outside.

Xia Roulin squinted as she saw her going off in a hurry. She quickly got in the car and sped off.

Xia Weilan saw her leaving in a hurry and started the engine and drove toward Mo Corp. 

But when she was halfway there, her phone rang.

It was from Mo Beichen.

Xia Weilan answered it immediately.

“Are you off work?” Mo Beichen said in an attractive voice.

“Yeah, I’m on my way to Mo Corp now.” Xia Weilan replied.

“I’m having a meeting at the mall now. You can come over. The meeting should end in another thirty minutes.” Mo Beichen said faintly.

After Xia Weilan responded to him, Mo Beichen ended the call immediately. It was obvious that he was still busy with the meeting.

The black car made a turn at the T-junction, heading toward the direction of Mo Corp mall.

The hot sun cast its ray on the road during noontime. Mo Corp mall was situated in Beijing’s luxurious central business district. Xia Weilan parked the car in the basement parking and walked toward the lift. While she was waiting for the lift, her phone suddenly rang.

Xia Weilan was stunned when she saw that it was from Xia Roulin. She hesitated for a while before answering. She wanted to know why she was calling her.

“Oh no. Beichen-ger…Gosh!” Xia Roulin’s panic-stricken voice was heard over the phone. And the call was cut off.

Xia Weilan’s heart skipped a beat and quickly pressed the floor level button to the conference room. She quickly called Mo Beichen. 

‘Du…du…du…’ the engaged tone was heard from the phone and it was like a hammer, hammering at Xia Weilan’s heart. 

Xia Weilan had a bad feeling and she called Xia Roulin. But she noticed that she wasn’t able to reach her.

At this moment, the lift door opened and Xia Weilan stumbled from the lift and ran toward the conference room.

She had visualized a lot of possibilities. Did Mo Beichen meet with some troubles? Countless thoughts flashed in her mind. Without hesitation, she opened the conference room door and rushed inside.

‘Bang!’ Xia Weilan followed the unknown sound of something falling and stared with her eyes wide open toward the conference room table.

She saw that beside the huge projector screen, Mo Beichen was holding a file, staring at her in surprise.

He was in his suit with a noble and elegant aura that made him appeared like a king. He was neatly dressed with a stern expression and nothing was out of order at all.

The managers in the room stared blankly at Xia Weilan who suddenly dashed in with a horrified expression.

“I…” Xia Weilan rushed in front of Mo Beichen and halted her footstep. She stood there with her disordered fringe and she was still wearing a panicked expression.

When Xia Weilan realized that she was tricked by Xia Roulin, she quickly lowered her head and apologized to everyone. She heard Mo Beichen’s deep voice saying, “Since you’re already here, take a seat and wait for me to finish the meeting.”

Xia Weilan widened her eyes and stared at Mo Beichen. They met glances in mid-air. Mo Beichen pulled a chair for Xia Weilan calmly and turned around to announce something shocking, “This is my wife, the young madam of the Mo Family.”

The whole conference room was boiling with discussion.

“President Mo, when did you get married?”

“Oh my! This is big news!”

“How do you do, lady boss…”

The conference room was suddenly bustling. 

Xia Weilan looked a little dazed. But she subconsciously nodded in response to everyone’s greetings. She then felt a heavy press on her shoulders and she sat beside Mo Beichen.

“Let’s carry on!” Mo Beichen raised his voice coldly and the meeting room instantly became quiet. 

Xia Weilan didn’t really pay attention to what was discussed in the meeting. All she could sense was the complex stares surrounding her and her heart was still thumping hard. Perhaps it was because she ran too fast just now or perhaps she was too excited over Mo Beichen’s statement.
