Hearing this, Grandpa Mo nodded. "Grandpa will do as you wish!"
"Good, good, good! It's truly fate. The betrothal made thirty years ago has now led to this happy union. It seems that Girl Xia is destined to be a member of the Mo family. No one can take her away!" Grandpa Mo said three "good"s in a row, his voice resounding.
As he said this, it was as if Ouyang Mingqi was completely ignored. It was as if he had no place in this matter at all. That girl even planned to pay him off to get rid of him.
He had seen through this girl's ingratitude and cruelty back then!
Ouyang Mingqi stood there, but no one paid attention to him.
The two grandfathers chatted merrily about the marriage. After they had made the decision, Grandpa Mo finally turned to Mo Beichen, who was standing still.
"Stinky boy, what are you standing there for? Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the marriage certificate!"
True to his word, Mo Beichen headed outside without a second thought. A certain young woman quickly followed behind him.
It was completely dark outside the hotel.
As soon as they stepped out, a clear and urgent call came from the front. "Brother Beichen!"
Xia Weilan, who had been walking properly, looked up warily upon hearing this familiar and affected voice.
In front of them, Xia Ruolin was wearing a pair of high - heeled shoes and an embroidered and figure - hugging long dress. She was slightly out of breath as she blocked their way.
"Why are you leaving so soon? I just got here. Let's go in and have a good drink, Brother Beichen!"
Xia Ruolin looked at the tall and straight man with eager eyes. She placed her left hand on her right, trying her best to appear elegant and ladylike.
Originally, she didn't want to attend Xia Weilan's banquet. She had made an excuse that she had a fever and couldn't come. But the news from her informants had forced her to rush over.
Her father was a son - in - law who had married into the Xia family, and she was the legitimate granddaughter of her grandfather.
The Xia family was allying with the Mo family through marriage, but the bride wasn't her, the eldest daughter of the family!
What was even more infuriating was that they were about to go and get their marriage certificate!
"You should change your address. You should call him brother - in - law!" Xia Weilan said slowly, emphasizing each word.
"What brother - in - law? Don't talk nonsense!" Xia Ruolin couldn't help but retort.
Xia Weilan continued, "Sister Ruolin, don't you know? Just now, Grandpa has agreed to the marriage. We're going to get the marriage certificate right away. Let me introduce him. This is your brother - in - law!"
Xia Ruolin's eyes narrowed slightly. All her elegance was starting to crumble. Her fingers tightened on the hem of her dress as she forced out words, her voice sharp and trembling.
"This can't be a joke. There's no way to get married so soon. Brother Beichen, you go first. My sister is from the countryside and doesn't know any better. Don't take it to heart. I'll take her back right away."
After saying that, she stepped forward and tried to grab Xia Weilan in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, she missed.
As Xia Weilan dodged, she casually wrapped her arm around Mo Beichen's and smiled.
"Sister Ruolin might still be sick. She must be delirious. Otherwise, why would she call me a country girl?"
Mo Beichen's hand stiffened slightly. A cool and delicate skin touched his, accompanied by a faint fragrance.
It was as if it had scratched an itch deep in his heart.
He didn't find the feeling unpleasant.
On the opposite side, Xia Ruolin looked down at their intertwined hands. Blood rushed to her head, and her body trembled.
Such a god - like man, she hadn't even touched him before.
That country girl had wrapped her arm around him, and Mo Beichen had even let her.
This was impossible!
It must be that Brother Beichen had forgotten to push her away and hadn't noticed for a moment.
"You... you..." Xia Ruolin wanted to say something, but she was too anxious to speak.
Mo Beichen composed himself and coldly said to Xia Ruolin, who was blocking their way, "I have something to do. I'll leave first."
He bypassed Xia Ruolin and walked straight towards the Maybach by the road.
Xia Weilan still had her arm around him until they were about to get in the car. Then she let go.
"Hubby!" In the car, Xia Weilan looked at Mo Beichen with a happy face.
Mo Beichen tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He suddenly hit the brakes and looked back coldly. "It's still not too late for you to back out!"
He was really annoyed. The woman in front of him was wearing a half - true and half - false mask, which irritated him.
This was the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau. For the sake of the Mo family, the Civil Affairs Bureau would be open all night.
If she didn't get out of the car now and regretted it in the future...
Xia Weilan met his beautiful black eyes. They were as dark and deep as a pool, but she wasn't afraid.
In her past life, these eyes had also been so resolute and cold. She hadn't known that they had hidden the most sincere soul.
In her past life, she had been blind and stupid. She had not only deceived him but also caused his death.
Thinking of this, her eyes turned red, and her heart softened. The next moment, while Mo Beichen was still in shock, she had nestled into his arms, and a kiss was printed on his lips.
The soft, sweet breath was like a poppy, numbing his nerves.
Her kiss wasn't passionate, but gentle like water, making him unable to resist.
Mo Beichen put his arm around her slender waist, took the initiative, pried open her teeth, and engaged in a passionate kiss.
"Um!"
The little woman in his arms blushed and let out a soft moan.
This moan was so charming that it was indescribable. It made Mo Beichen's lower abdomen tighten, and his body tensed up.
The temperature in the car rose sharply. Xia Weilan was enjoying herself in a daze when suddenly, Mo Beichen unceremoniously threw her back to the passenger seat.
"Ouch!"
Xia Weilan rubbed her head in a daze. When she looked up, she found that he was sitting upright, and the confusion on his face hadn't had time to fade.
What was going on?
Why did he throw her like this?
Then, Xia Weilan suddenly realized something. She tilted her body and stared at him teasingly. "Why did you suddenly stop?"
The only response she got was a heavy cough from Mo Beichen. Without saying a word, he stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
Xia Weilan's eyes curved into a crescent. She smiled like a cat that had stolen the cream.
Mo Beichen was always serious and self - controlled. He never let his emotions show easily.
Today's behavior showed that he probably didn't dislike her...
Thinking of this, she felt a bit ashamed.
It turned out that she was so charming to him, in both this life and the past life.
But in this life, she would never let him down!
...
A low - key yet luxurious black car was parked in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The grand white European - style building, which should have been closed by now, had its doors wide open. The two stone lions at the entrance looked majestic.
Not long after, two figures walked out with small red marriage certificates in their hands. The surroundings were quiet, and the two of them stood out.
The man walking in front was wearing a finely - tailored suit. As he walked, his broad and strong chest was as straight as a pine tree. His face was well - defined, and his thin lips were pursed into a cold line. He exuded an air of nobility that kept people at a distance.
He was the legendary Mo Beichen, who was known for his decisive actions and his indifference to women.
However, at this moment, he was holding a red marriage certificate in his hand. If people who knew him saw this strange scene, they would probably be shocked.
Mo Beichen walked quickly and steadily. He only spoke to the woman beside him when he reached the car.
"I'll take you back!"
Because of the difference in height, Xia Weilan was a bit out of breath as she tried to keep up. She gently stroked her chest, looking at his elegant eyebrows as she insisted.
"I want to go back to the Grand Imperial Court with you."
"No!" He gave her a sharp look.
