The conference room was quiet. The smell of medicinal liquid filled Mo Beichen’s nose and he felt the cool sensation from the cotton swab sweeping across his arm.

Mo Beichen appeared calm as he stared at the person who was busy attending to his wounds in front of him in silence. The corner of his mouth formed a faint curve. 

Xia Weilan applied medicine on him gently but she still couldn’t help but ask, “Is it painful?”

“It’s painful.” Mo Beichen replied.

“What should we do?” Xia Weilan frowned and asked in worry.

“You’ll have to kiss me so that I don’t feel the pain.” Mo Beichen still appeared to be calm but his words were ambiguous.

Xia Weilan’s heart raced and she didn’t hesitate to lean towards him. She planted a kiss on his thin lips.

The meeting room was filled with an ambiguous aura. Even the hand that suddenly grabbed her waist was scalding hot.

Xia Weilan’s waist was drawn closer to his and they could clearly sense each other’s heartbeats. Their lips were glued together. They pulled apart and pressed together repeatedly.

After a long while, Xia Weilan snapped out from the daze to find that she was pressed by Mo Beichen with her back lying against the office desk. And her skirt was raised to her hips.

Mo Beichen stared deeply at her and asked, “Mrs Mo, are you trying to seduce me?”

Xia Weilan blushed and hurriedly climbed down from the desk. She said softly, “It was you who…”

Mo Beichen tried hard to refrain himself. If it wasn’t because they were not in the right place, he really wanted to have her right now.

When Xia Weilan was done straightening out her outfits, Mo Beichen was immaculately dressed as if he hadn’t done anything. This made Xia Weilan even more embarrassed as it seemed like she was the one seducing him.

“Let’s go.” Mo Beichen waited for her and held her hand as they walked out together. 

Xu Wei was nowhere in sight outside the conference room. When they were near the staircase, they saw Xu Wei standing there, waiting.

Xia Roulin who was driven away by Mo Beichen stood at the door furiously. In front of her were two security guards staring at her sternly.

Xia Roulin stood still unwilling. She gazed inside the mall and then lowered her head in disappointment. She gave a hard kick to the big tree beside her and recalled how grandpa had scolded her this morning for being blacklisted by Mo Corp. Furthermore, he even expected for her to learn more from Xia Weilan.

To Xia Roulin, others fawned on Xia Weilan because of her status being the young miss of the Xia Family. In reality, Xia Weilan was nothing but a nobody.

Even if Mo Beichen married her, it was all because of her status as Miss Xia.

Inevitably, there will be a day where she would drag Xia Weilan down from the stage and turn her back into a nobody. By that time, let’s see who would still flatter her.

Just as Xia Roulin was thinking about all this in fury, her phone suddenly rang.

Xia Roulin took a glance at the caller ID and rejected it without hesitation.

The message notification was heard very shortly. 

When the screen lit up from the incoming message, Xia Roulin saw that it was a message from Ouyang Mingqi. 

“Miss Xia, would you like to have lunch with me?”

Xia Roulin had been dodging him ever since they slept together last time. Whenever she saw him, he reminded her of that unhappy event. She felt depressed and quickly replied to him with a call. Without waiting for him to talk, she scolded, “Stop bothering me. Stay away as far as you can!”

After Xia Roulin finished shrieking, she hung up the phone. 

She thought that Ouyang Mingqi was courting her, so she dislikes him even more. Because she only had Mo Beichen in her heart and there’s no way she would fall for Ouyang Mingqi.

She didn’t expect that the messenger notification sounded again. It was from Ouyang Mingqi again. 

“You can find me anytime once you’ve got it figured out.”

Xia Roulin felt that these few words were especially offensive. She immediately blacklisted Ouyang Mingqi.

The moment when Xia Roulin wanted to drive off, she saw a few people coming out from the main entrance of the mall. Mo Beichen was talking to Xia Weilan in an intimate manner and they were both smiling.

The scene in front of her eyes instantly stung her. She sat inside the car staring blankly at that close couple through her car window.

Her brows were tied into a knot. It was more than half an hour since she left the office and they were only coming out now. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what they were doing inside the conference room.

Xia Roulin felt disgusted when she saw Xia Weilan’s face radiating with a glow. It turned out that Mo Beichen was bewitched by Xia Weilan.

“You wrench! You’ll be swept out when they get bored toying with you.”

Xia Roulin mumbled to herself and saw the Maybach leave with her own eyes before she drove off.

Xia Weilan had lunch with Mo Beichen during lunch break and they returned to their respective office after lunch.

When Xia Weilan got into the lift, she thought for a while before pressing the top floor to Old Master Xia’s office.

“Young Miss!” Butler Zhao who guarded the door saw Xia Weilan coming over. He said softly, “I think it’s better for you to not disturb the Old Master now. The Old Master was very upset with Xia Roulin this morning. He had been complaining about having a headache during noontime. He has just taken some medicine and is taking a rest now.”

Xia Weilan frowned, “Did grandpa throw a fit just now? What happened?”

Butler Zhao said, “This morning, the Old Master criticized Miss Roulin for being blacklisted by Mo Corp. Miss Roulin got emotional and said some treacherous words. After that, Miss Roulin apologized and ran off. Old Master was choked by the anger but he refused to go to the hospital. He took some tranquilizer pills and finally fell asleep.”

Xia Weilan never expected that Xia Roulin dared to be impudent. She said to Butler Zhao, “I’ll go visit grandpa at home later in the evening.”
Xia Weilan took a few glances through the window to see Old Master Xia lying on the bed inside the lounge. He was frowning and it seemed that he wasn’t sleeping well.

Xia Weilan could already tell what sort of treacherous words Xia Roulin said. It was no other than slandering herself in front of Old Master Xia, refusing to accept Xia Weilan’s status as the young miss and all sorts of malicious words about her. 

“Young miss, please leave now.” Butler Zhao said softly.

“Alright.” Xia Weilan responded and entered the lift to get back to the designing department.
