Just then, the school principal stepped onto the stage and delivered a well - polished speech:
"Thank you all for coming to the 50th anniversary celebration of University A. Today, we've invited many well - known alumni and some actors to perform. Next, let's warmly welcome Mr. Mo from Moying Group, a distinguished guest, to say a few words."
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Xia Weilan raised her head and stared blankly at Mo Beichen, who suddenly appeared on the stage. Her heart pounded so hard that for a moment, she couldn't hear anything. All she could see was Mo Beichen's figure. She didn't even notice that someone had sat down beside her.
Mo Beichen scanned the audience and his eyes landed on Xia Weilan. He was speaking, but his words grew slower and slower.
"Weilan, here's this for you." Li Ming shyly offered a bottle of mineral water. He called Xia Weilan several times without getting a response, so he called out louder.
Xia Weilan finally came to her senses. Seeing the thing in front of her, she subconsciously took it. Looking up, she saw Senior Li Ming looking at her excitedly.
"You're here too." Xia Weilan was stunned for a few seconds before she spoke. Then she looked up at Mo Beichen on the stage again.
"That's it!" Mo Beichen coldly dropped this sentence, strode off the stage, and walked straight towards Xia Weilan.
Senior Li Ming, his face slightly red and about to say something, was stunned when he saw Mo Beichen walking straight towards him.
"Excuse me!" Mo Beichen stood there, tall and imposing. He stepped past Li Ming, grabbed Xia Weilan from her seat, and took her out directly, leaving Li Ming gaping in astonishment.
On the stage, the singing and dancing had already started. Only a few people in the back noticed what was going on. In the blink of an eye, Xia Weilan was taken out of the auditorium by Mo Beichen.
"You're here!" Xia Weilan looked at Mo Beichen excitedly.
She thought that since Mo Beichen was here, he must have seen the screen at the school gate.
Mo Beichen narrowed his eyes, grabbed her waist, and pinned her against the wall. He said in a cold and harsh tone:
"Do you remember what I told you?"
Xia Weilan stared at him with wide eyes, a bit confused.
Mo Beichen continued on his own: "Don't flirt with others outside! Did you forget so soon?"
"You mean..." Xia Weilan realized what he meant and quickly explained, "I didn't. He's just a classmate."
"Classmate?" Mo Beichen gritted out these two words with a hint of sarcasm. The boy's face was red just now. Could that be just an ordinary classmate relationship? He wasn't blind.
Just then, Xia Weilan's phone rang. Mo Beichen saw at a glance that the caller was marked as "Senior". His face darkened even more.
Xia Weilan was sweating nervously. Knowing that Mo Beichen had misunderstood, she quickly said, "It's really not..."
"Put it on speaker!" Mo Beichen's deep eyes stared at her intently, and the hand on her waist tightened a bit more.
Xia Weilan was about to do as Mo Beichen said and answer the call on speaker, but unexpectedly, the caller hung up suddenly. This was a bit awkward.
Xia Weilan felt as if she couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River. She quickly called back.
"Hello, classmate Weilan, are you okay?" Li Ming's tense voice came from the other end.
"I'm fine. I'm with my boyfriend right now." Xia Weilan quickly replied.
"Boyfriend? Is it Mr. Mo?" Li Ming's voice was filled with a mix of emotions.
"Yes." Xia Weilan looked at Mo Beichen and immediately answered.
She clearly saw the relaxed expression on Mo Beichen's face and felt relieved.
"Oh, I see," Li Ming's voice sounded a bit dry. "I'm relieved then. I have something to do. I'll hang up first."
Then there was a series of beeps on the phone. He didn't even wait for Xia Weilan to respond before hanging up in a hurry.
Xia Weilan put away her phone and looked at Mo Beichen with an extremely innocent look. She said timidly, "Husband..."
Mo Beichen raised his eyebrows. He was obviously very satisfied, but his tone became even more solemn: "Be more careful in the future. Remember to keep your distance from men and be aware of your status."
"Sure." Xia Weilan nodded and asked, "Husband, are you jealous?"
A look of uneasiness flashed across Mo Beichen's face. He coughed lightly and stepped back.
Unexpectedly, Xia Weilan, following the previous posture, circled her small hands around his neck and suddenly giggled.
Mo Beichen's body stiffened. Looking at the little girl hanging on him, obviously very happy, his eyes flashed. He pressed her against the wall again and kissed her.
The singing and dancing from the nearby stage could still be faintly heard, while in this undisturbed corner, the two were very close.
So close that their lips and tongues intertwined. Xia Weilan's eyes gradually became blurred. She could hardly bear Mo Beichen's rare enthusiasm.
Mo Beichen sucked on her fragrant tongue, driving straight in, as if he wanted to completely break her down and draw from her.
"Um~" Xia Weilan gasped for air and took a small step back gently, but the next second, she was grabbed again and kissed more deeply.
Mo Beichen didn't let her go until he found that she was really out of breath.
His deep eyes, like the deep sea at night, landed on her beautiful face, and he hooked his lips into a satisfied smile.
The gentle breeze blew, lifting his clothes and her stray hairs. Suddenly, the surroundings became eerily quiet.
Maybe it was because of psychological reasons, maybe because the night was charming, or maybe because the two were already attracted to each other, so they found this scene extremely alluring.
Xia Weilan finally caught her breath. She looked at Mo Beichen shyly and suddenly pushed him away a bit coyly:
"Be careful. Someone might see."
Mo Beichen grabbed her hand and stared at her with an ambiguous look: "So what if they see?"
Xia Weilan looked at Mo Beichen in surprise. He wasn't afraid of others knowing their relationship?
Seeing the full surprise in the little girl's eyes, Mo Beichen suddenly reached out and tapped her nose:
"You must be hungry. I'll take you to eat."
With that, he took her hand and walked directly through the tree - lined path towards the school gate.
The school guard was originally listless, but was suddenly startled by the appearance of Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan. By the time he reacted, the two were already in the black car on the roadside and speeding away in a cloud of dust.
The guard rubbed his eyes and then looked at the big screen belatedly. The girl who just left was Xia Weilan from the school, and he also recognized the other person. It was Mo Beichen, a well - known entrepreneur in Kyoto.
If he wasn't mistaken, the two were holding hands just now.
Thinking of this, the guard jumped up as if he had discovered a new continent and couldn't wait to share this discovery with his colleagues on WeChat.
