The night was hazy, and the streetlights were just coming on.
Mo Beichen stood there looking at her. He didn't know why, but even though he was no longer as angry as before, seeing her slightly disheveled appearance at this moment, a sudden burst of anger flared up inside him. He strode towards her, and in a few steps, he was in front of her. He grabbed her wrist and growled:
"What on earth are you doing?"
Xia Weilan, who had been waiting for two hours, widened her eyes. All she could think about was the pleasant surprise. She tightly grasped Mo Beichen's hand in return, as if she hadn't heard his words. She said sweetly:
"You're here!"
Those big, watery eyes, like autumn waters and stars, sparkled brightly as she gazed at him tenderly.
Mo Beichen felt as if the fire in his heart had been suddenly doused. He clenched his fist, but he just couldn't get angry anymore.
Xia Weilan reached out her hand and took out two tickets. "I bought two tickets for the Ferris wheel. Let's go together."
As she spoke, she pulled his hand and walked towards the place where the neon lights were flashing behind them. Mo Beichen was clearly stronger than her, but at this moment, he unconsciously followed her for several steps. His eyes were fixed on Xia Weilan, who was dodging the crowd in front of him. He couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could see her smooth hair swaying gently in the air. It was extremely charming. Mo Beichen seemed to be drawn by her back and followed her onto the Ferris wheel.
It wasn't until the two of them had risen high into the sky that Mo Beichen sighed silently in his heart. He softened his tone and asked:
"What's the good news you want to tell me?"
Xia Weilan didn't dare to keep him in suspense any longer and quickly blurted it out:
"I helped the Xia Corporation sign a deal with Emerald, and my design was selected."
As Xia Weilan spoke, she silently calculated in her heart that when the Ferris wheel reached the highest point, she would take the initiative to kiss him. Maybe then Mo Beichen would stop being angry.
Xia Weilan looked at Mo Beichen with a glint in her eyes, not even bothering to look at the changing scenery around her. Just as they were about to reach the top, Mo Beichen suddenly whispered: "Don't look back."
"Why?" Hearing this, Xia Weilan curiously turned around slowly and looked at the empty and extremely high place behind them. What came into view were the tiny people on the ground.
"Ah..." Xia Weilan's heart skipped a beat. Fearful, she grabbed Mo Beichen's hand tightly, using quite a bit of strength.
She didn't even notice that her fingernails had pierced his skin.
Mo Beichen's expression changed. He immediately reached out and pulled her into his arms, pressing her against his chest. He said helplessly: "I told you not to look, but you still did."
At this moment, the Ferris wheel was about to descend from the highest point. Xia Weilan remembered her plan and immediately took the initiative to put her arms around his neck. She tilted her head up and kissed those thin lips.
Her heart was pounding wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She didn't know if it was because of fear or shyness.
Mo Beichen's imposing figure clearly stiffened for a moment. The hand that had been gently stroking her back tightened.
On his lips, there were her gentle kisses. Her warm and sweet breath all blew on his face.
Mo Beichen's eyes were darker than the night outside. He suddenly took the initiative to suck on her little tongue that had invaded. The feminine aura overwhelmed her. He turned passive into active and captured her fragrant lips.
Time almost stood still at this moment.
There was no time, no space. There were only the two intertwined figures, passionately licking and sucking each other's lips and tongues.
"Phew..." It seemed like an eternity had passed. Xia Weilan exhaled heavily several times. She leaned against Mo Beichen's arms as if all her strength had been drained.
Mo Beichen wasn't much better. His breathing was slightly heavy, and his whole body exuded a dangerous aura.
Xia Weilan's fair fingertips landed on the scarred wound on his neck. She said with a hint of pity:
"Hubby, does it still hurt here?"
She guiltily stroked the scratch, not daring to look up at him.
Until he suddenly tensed up and reached out to hold her fidgeting little hand. He said in a hoarse voice:
"Don't move."
Only then did Xia Weilan realize what she had done. She sat up straight and didn't move a muscle.
I don't know how much longer had passed. Xia Weilan withdrew from his embrace and looked at Mo Beichen nervously:
"Hubby, are you still angry?"
Mo Beichen slowly steadied his breathing and said seriously: "Don't let it happen again."
Once they were back on the ground, Mo Beichen pulled Xia Weilan directly to a restaurant for dinner. Their relationship took another step forward.
That night, a private plane slowly landed in the capital. The woman who got off was on a drip. As soon as she got off the plane, she was escorted to the hospital by medical staff.
When Grandpa Xia heard the news and rushed to the hospital, Xia Ruolin was sitting on the hospital bed looking haggard. When she saw Grandpa Xia, she exclaimed in surprise:
"Grandpa!"
That voice full of grievance and eagerness made Grandpa Xia's steps falter. In the end, he walked over and grabbed Xia Ruolin's hand. He said lovingly:
"My girl, you've suffered."
"Grandpa." Xia Ruolin hugged Grandpa Xia's waist. The tears on her face just dripped down. She choked with sobs:
"It's not hard, Grandpa. I just missed you. When I was there, I missed home every day."
Xue Zhiqing, who was standing beside them, quickly sighed and cooperated:
"Dad, Ruolin is so filial. She refused to come back even when she was sick and dying, afraid that you would worry. I had someone send her back while she was sleeping. Look, she's not acclimatized, so why stay there? Oh, silly girl."
Hearing this, Grandpa Xia took out a few tissues and personally wiped the corners of Xia Ruolin's eyes:
"Since you're back, don't go there again. If you want to intern, you can do it at the headquarters."
"Yes, Grandpa." A glint flashed in Xia Ruolin's eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She pretended to be obedient and gentle again.
"Grandpa, I heard that Sister Weilan has made great contributions to the company. I'm the only useless one, coming back with a whole body of illness."
"How can you be useless? How can a young lady of the Xia family say such spineless words!" Grandpa Xia frowned slightly, and then softened his expression:
"After you recover from your illness, I'll arrange for you to intern at the company. As long as you work hard, you'll surely achieve results."
After all, she was the girl he had watched grow up. Grandpa Xia's heart softened. He had already forgotten about Xia Ruolin's arrogance and domineering behavior during her last internship at the company. At this moment, he just kept comforting her.
"Yes, Grandpa. I'll learn from Sister Weilan well." Xia Ruolin immediately replied. When she mentioned Sister Weilan, her mouth was as sweet as honey.
"Grandpa, Sister Weilan is really capable. When she graduates in the future, if we let her enter the company's management, everyone will be convinced." Xia Ruolin asked tentatively.
Grandpa Xia's expression changed. He said calmly: "In the future, the company will rely on your generation."
"Yes, Grandpa." Xia Ruolin lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes.
