===============================================================================================

That evening when Xia Weilan was back at Xia’s Residence, she felt uneasy seeing that Old Master Xia was not in good spirit.

For the next three days, Xia Weilan was at the Xia Residence everynight to accompany Old Master Xia.

“Weilan, tell me the truth. How are you and Beichen now? Are you fighting with him?” Old Master Xia was suspicious when he saw Xia Weilan had stayed with him for a few days continuously.

“Grandpa, I’m getting along very well with Beichen.” Xia Weilan massaged Old Master Xia’s shoulder while saying casually, “I’m just worried that you might be bored so I wanted to accompany you more. Tomorrow is Sunday, I’ll bring you out to walk around with you.”

Xia Weilan was exerting the right strength and the spots where she messaged relaxed Old Master Xia. These few days, Old Master Xia’s condition appeared a lot better.

Xia Roulin was standing at the second floor feeling envious when she saw Xia Weilan pleasing grandpa.

She knew that Xia Weilan was good at pleasing the Old Master, but she didn’t expect for her to put in this much effort to stay beside him for three consecutive days, not worried about feeling bored.

“Grandpa, what are you chatting about?” Xia Roulin came downstairs and sat across Old Master Xia. She intended to please the Old Master too, competing with Xia Weilan.

That day, she said some malicious words about Xia Weilan out of fury and the Old Master was looking at her with a hideous expression. Xia Roulin hesitated for a while and pretended to smile at Xia Weilan kindly, “Sis, are you tired from messaging? Let me help you.”

Xia Roulin took Xia Weilan place and her voice was a lot more gentle than usual. “Grandpa, is this okay?”

Old Master Xia nodded faintly but still felt that Xia Weilan’s message was more comfortable.

Xia Roulin pressed for a few more times and felt her hand getting a little sore. She managed to message for a while more before stopping.

“Just now I was telling grandpa that I wanted to bring him out for a walk.” Xia Weilan stared at Xia Roulin who was dressed elegantly with a meaningful stare.

Xia Roulin pretended to be delighted. “Where is grandpa planning to go? I also wanted to follow grandpa.”

“Well, nothing more than having a cup of tea while listening to some music. Are you interested?” Xia Weilan intentionally asked her in a mocking way.

“Haha.” Xia Roulin’s expression indeed froze and a despicable look flashed across her face. But she quickly calmed down and said casually, “I have an appointment tomorrow, I’ll accompany grandpa another day. Let me know when grandpa wants to go out next time.”

Xia Weilan wasn’t sure if Xia Roulin was telling the truth but she knew her true feelings.

“Grandpa, I still have something to attend to. I’ll make a move first. I’m not having dinner at home.” Xia Roulin felt bored and quickly stood up and walked out.

The night, Mo Beichen called Xia Weilan asking when she would return to Fairview Imperial Court. He didn’t expect for Xia Weilan to say that she still needed to accompany the Old Master for an outing tomorrow and wanted to stay for another few more days. 

Mo Beichen paused briefly but didn’t rush her and hung up the phone.

Xia Weilan put away her phone and laid on the bed after washing up. She was a little disappointed because she was hoping that Mo Beichen wouldn’t act so generously. She didn’t expect that Mo Beichen was as steady as usual. He didn’t urge her to come home nor said anything much. 

The next morning. 

The moment Xia Weilan and Old Master Xia stepped outside the house, they saw Mo Beichen walking toward them.

“Ah Beichen, what brings you here early in the morning? Come in.” Old Master Xia didn’t expect that Mo Beichen would appear at the Xia Residence early in the morning.

Mo Beichen stood beside Xia Weilan and replied Old Master Xia politely, “Grandpa, I’m here to accompany you for an outing with Weilan.”

Although Old Master Xia had seen much of the world, he couldn’t hide his excitement this very moment. “That’s great. That’s so thoughtful of you, Beichen.”

To Old Master Xia, although Mo Beichen was his grandson-in-law, Mo Beichen was always busy with work matters. At first, he only hoped to meet up with him once in a while. It never occurs to him that Mo Beichen would be so kind as to accompany an old man like him.

XIa Weilan stared at Mo Beichen in astonishment. Although Mo Beichen was still dressed in suits now, he appears to be relaxed. When the three of them stood together, they looked like a harmonious family. 

Soon after, Mo Beichen drove the two of them to a restaurant for morning breakfast and then, he brought them to the theater to catch a chinese opera.

The performers on stage were performing the chinese opera as Old Master Xia sat on the wooden chair, watching with a smile on his face. It lifted his spirit as he watched the show.

Xia Weilan intended to listen to the dialog attentively, but she only managed to understand a little. At this instant, a slender hand suddenly reached out toward her and under the concealment of the clothing, his fingertips touched the back of Xia Weilan’s hand.

Xia Weilan was startled and she slowly lifted her eyes to stare at Mo Beichen. He took a glance at her calmly and used his fingertips to open the gap in between her fingers and slid his fingers in and interlocked his fingers with hers. 

Xia Weilan’s heart throbbed and immediately blushed. She subconsciously stared at Old Master Xia like a thief who had done something wrong.

It seemed that Old Master Xia was unaware of what’s going on. He was still staring at the stage attentively and didn’t even look at both of them.

Xia Weilan left out a sigh of relief and suddenly noticed that Mo Beichen had leaned closer to her and was already staring at her. His hot breath landed on her ears as he whispered, “Mrs. Mo, are you coming home with me today?”

These few days when Mo Beichen returned to Fairview Imperial Court, he felt that the villa was filled with emptiness. Without her presence, the house seems cold. But he understood that Xia Weilan was a filial child. Xia Weilan was married into the Mo Family not long after Old Master Xia brought her back. And because of this, he had been holding back for these few days. 

But in the end, he had overestimated his endurance. Yesterday when he heard that Xia Weilan still wanted to continue to stay at the Xia Residence, he couldn’t sleep the entire night and rushed to the Xia Residence early morning.

Xia Weilan widened her eyes as she couldn’t believe that Mo Beichen was here to urge her to go home. Her heart raced uncontrollably as she said softly, “Okay. I’ll go back today.”

Mo Beichen got the reply that he wanted and instantly felt at ease. He corrected his posture to sit upright, but his hand was still holding onto her little hand, wrapping her hand with his warmth.

Because of the little movement from his hand from time to time, Xia Weilan was very distracted. Although it seemed like she was watching the opera attentively, in fact, she couldn’t focus at all. All she had in her mind was Mo Beichen.

She wasn’t sure if her eyes were playing tricks on her, it appeared to her that Old Master Xia turned his head and took a glance at them. But the moment she looked in his direction, Old Master Xia was still in his previous posture, as if he never moved.
