Mo Beichen obediently opened his mouth.
After sipping and dawdling, he finally finished the bowl of soup. Xia Weilan heaved a sigh of relief and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
In the bathroom, Xia Weilan suddenly recalled her previous thought: should she take advantage of Mo Beichen being drunk and have her way with him?
After washing up, Xia Weilan grabbed a pillow, shook her head, and walked out of the master bedroom on her own.
She decided not to take advantage of the situation. Such things should be consensual.
To prevent herself from having impure thoughts and forcing herself on Mo Beichen at night, Xia Weilan decided to sleep in the guest bedroom.
It was not until the soft sound of the door closing in the room that Mo Beichen opened his hawk - like eyes.
In an instant, the entire master bedroom seemed to plunge into the cold and gloomy underground, exuding a chilling aura.
He had been looking forward to Xia Weilan doing something bold while he was drunk, but he never expected that she would be so "bold".
She just ran away.
Was she afraid that he would do something to her?
Early in the morning, Xia Weilan tiptoed back into the master bedroom.
Just as she lay down, she felt Mo Beichen turn over. A strong and big hand directly wrapped around her waist.
Xia Weilan held her breath, but when she found that Mo Beichen was still breathing steadily, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.
When she woke up in the morning, Mo Beichen was already gone.
One afternoon, Xia Weilan received an invitation to a debutante ball.
That evening, Rui Li and Xia Weilan appeared at the ball together.
Nan Fengyan on the second floor stared wide - eyed when he saw Rui Li appear.
Today, Rui Li was dressed in a neutral outfit and stood neatly beside Xia Weilan, looking like a bodyguard.
"Don't always keep a straight face. I deliberately brought you out today to relax. Take a good look at what the women are talking about and what they're wearing." Xia Weilan gently nudged the serious - looking Rui Li with her elbow.
Just then, a debutante noticed Xia Weilan's appearance and walked over.
"Miss Xia, I'm the second daughter of the Zhang family. Our family has a cooperative relationship with yours. I'd like to toast you." The debutante who introduced herself as Miss Zhang chatted with Xia Weilan very warmly.
Xia Weilan also intended to make some acquaintances, so she didn't decline.
Seeing that there was no danger, Rui Li found a corner by herself, held a glass of wine, and sipped it.
Suddenly, she raised her face sharply. Her gaze pierced through the space and directly looked towards the corridor on the second floor, landing on Nan Fengyan. Nan Fengyan, who had been boldly sizing her up, was caught red - handed and his face froze.
Rui Li squinted her eyes and then withdrew her gaze.
Lin Xuefei was hiding in the dark. Seeing Xia Weilan alone and just finishing a glass of wine, her heart couldn't help pounding. She called over the waiter she had arranged in advance and handed over a glass of poisoned red wine.
The waiter quickly walked towards Xia Weilan, with his head down, allowing Xia Weilan to pick up the only glass of wine on the tray by herself.
Xia Weilan raised the glass and gently swirled it. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar figure.
It was Lin Xuefei hiding in the corner.
At this time, even Rui Li noticed Lin Xuefei. She also saw the waiter who had just walked away from Xia Weilan subconsciously walking in Lin Xuefei's direction, and squinted her eyes.
Rui Li quickly walked to Xia Weilan's side and whispered a warning, "There's something wrong with this glass of wine."
Xia Weilan calmly withdrew her gaze and had a plan in mind.
"Do you want me to go and catch her?" Rui Li suggested.
"No, I'll go and catch her myself."
After Xia Weilan finished speaking, a few minutes passed before she casually walked towards the corner.
"Lin Xuefei, why are you here?" Xia Weilan asked in a surprised tone.
After Xia Weilan finished speaking, she casually placed the glass of wine in her hand on a nearby table, seemingly not planning to drink it anymore.
Lin Xuefei got anxious and directly stepped closer.
"I'm here to apologize to you. From now on, my father will be an employee of Mo Ying Group. That means we're on the same side now. How about I toast you? Let's bury the hatchet from now on!"
Lin Xuefei casually took a glass of wine from a waiter and raised it. "Sister!"
"Sure, I'll toast you." Xia Weilan also picked up a glass of wine. Suddenly, she reached out and pinched Lin Xuefei's chin, pouring the red wine in her hand into Lin Xuefei's mouth.
"Gulp, gulp!" Lin Xuefei drank several mouthfuls in a mess, and her face instantly turned pale.
"You..." Lin Xuefei coughed violently and got scared. "Quick, call an ambulance. I'm going to die. I'm going to die."
Everyone looked over and saw Lin Xuefei call the ambulance herself. Then, she curled up on the ground, clutching her stomach.
"What's going on? Did she eat something wrong?"
"Was she poisoned?"
"I saw it was Xia Weilan who poured the wine for her..."
"Xia Weilan, you actually poisoned me?" Lin Xuefei cried out in pain, speaking intermittently.
Before long, the medical staff from the ambulance carried Lin Xuefei out.
No one knew if she could be saved.
At this time, Rui Li directly detained the suspicious waiter.
"Tell me, who instructed you to poison her?"
The waiter trembled, his face as white as a sheet, but he refused to admit it. "No, I didn't do anything."
"You still won't tell the truth? You were sneaking around with Lin Xuefei in the corner. The surveillance cameras here have recorded everything."
Nan Fengyan walked over with the hotel manager in person. His unruly appearance made anyone not dare to underestimate him.
"Second Master Feng..." Seeing that the situation was out of control, the waiter had no choice but to say:
"Lin Xuefei personally gave me the problematic red wine. I thought it was just a laxative. I didn't expect it to be a deadly poison. I didn't want to do it either."
Nan Fengyan's peach - blossom eyes narrowed menacingly. "You can explain all these to the police later. Take him away."
The hotel manager quickly asked his subordinates to take the waiter away.
"Second Young Master Feng, our hotel will definitely investigate this matter clearly. We will never let Miss Xia be wronged. This is our negligence this time." The hotel manager was also very shrewd and immediately recognized Xia Weilan's identity.
Given the relationship between the Xia family and the Mo family, Nan Fengyan would surely protect the eldest daughter of the Xia family.
"I don't have the final say on how to handle this matter. It depends on what Young Master Mo thinks." Nan Fengyan was rarely serious. After leaving this sentence, he grinned at Xia Weilan again. "Miss Xia, let me escort you back."
In fact, Nan Fengyan wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Rui Li about what happened yesterday.
The three of them walked directly towards the door.
At the entrance, a black Maybach suddenly stopped. A man of extraordinary temperament got out. It was Mo Beichen who had rushed over after getting the news.
"How's the situation?" Mo Beichen strode in and asked coldly.
"Lin Xuefei got what she deserved and has been sent to the hospital. The waiter has also confessed. Young Master Mo, you'd better take your wife home first to calm her nerves." Nan Fengyan directly pushed Xia Weilan into Mo Beichen's arms, his eyes twinkling mischievously.
