On the other side, at the Xia Group, in the meeting room, the people from the design department were having their regular morning meeting as usual. Xia Weilan was sitting in a corner, holding a pen and paper in her hand. She had her head down and had remained motionless for half an hour.
Even the design director couldn't help but take a few extra glances at Xia Weilan, thinking that she was seriously pondering over work matters, so he didn't say much.
After the meeting, Xia Weilan looked absent - minded, with her brows slightly knitted. She was a bit worried that Mo Beichen's injured hand might get bumped into since it was inconvenient.
Xia Weilan returned to her desk, picked up her phone, and called Mo Beichen's secretary to inquire about his situation.
"Is there anything I can do for you, Young Mistress?" Xu Wei asked respectfully on the other end.
"I'd like to ask if Beichen had any inconvenience at work today."
Xu Wei understood immediately and quickly reported, "There's no inconvenience for Mr. Mo. He just took off the bandage. There was nothing unusual during the meeting either."
"Took it off?" Xia Weilan said worriedly, "How could he take it off?"
The doctor said the bandage needed to be kept on for three days.
"Well..." Xu Wei paused for a moment and said, "Mr. Mo should know what he's doing."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Weilan's worry grew even stronger. She was afraid that Mo Beichen was just holding on and didn't know how to take care of himself.
Before she knew it, it was noon and time to get off work. Xia Weilan immediately picked up her bag and walked towards the elevator, eager to check on Mo Beichen.
Xia Weilan saw the elevator coming down from the top floor and didn't pay much attention. It wasn't until the elevator door opened that she saw Xia Ruolin with a sullen face.
"What a small world!" Xia Ruolin sneered in a strange tone.
Xia Weilan frowned but still stepped into the elevator.
The atmosphere in the elevator turned tense as it slowly descended to the basement floor.
Out of the corner of her eye, Xia Weilan saw that Xia Ruolin was holding a thermos box, from which the faint aroma of food wafted.
"I heard you caused trouble yesterday and even got Brother Beichen injured." Xia Ruolin suddenly glared at Xia Weilan, accusing her.
"You're meddling too much. This is a matter between my husband and me." Xia Weilan replied coolly. Her calm tone sounded like full - blown sarcasm to Xia Ruolin's ears.
Xia Ruolin's heart was stabbed hard. She tightened her grip on the thermos, which contained the soup she had made herself. She was going to send it to Mo Beichen later.
She knew that Mo Beichen didn't allow her to go to the Mo Ying Group, but fortunately, Mo Beichen was having a meeting outside at the moment, so it was just the right time for her to send it.
Thinking about how virtuous she was, and then looking at Xia Weilan, Xia Ruolin felt that Xia Weilan was so immature and completely unworthy of standing beside Mo Beichen.
Xia Weilan watched Xia Ruolin looking inexplicably smug and didn't bother to pay attention to her. As soon as the elevator reached the bottom floor, she walked out first.
Xia Ruolin squinted her eyes at Xia Weilan's eager look, got into her car at the fastest speed, and drove away.
Xia Weilan watched the hasty figure on the other side and then slowly started her car and drove towards the Mo Ying Group.
Just as she had driven halfway, the phone rang.
It was a call from Mo Beichen.
Xia Weilan immediately answered it.
"Are you off work?" Mo Beichen's voice was gentle and pleasant.
"Yes, I'm just about to go to the Mo Ying Group to find you." Xia Weilan replied.
"I'm having a meeting in the meeting room of the mall. Come here. The meeting may take about half an hour." Mo Beichen said calmly.
After Xia Weilan responded, Mo Beichen immediately hung up the phone, obviously busy with something.
The black car turned at the fork in the road and headed towards the Mo Ying Mall.
At noon, the sun shone fiercely on the road. The Mo Ying Mall was located in the luxurious business district of the capital. Xia Weilan got out of the car in the underground parking lot and walked directly towards the elevator. Just as she was about to wait for the elevator, her phone suddenly rang.
Xia Weilan was stunned for a moment. Seeing that it was a call from Xia Ruolin, she hesitated for a while but still answered it, curious to know why she was calling.
"Something's wrong. Brother Beichen... Oh my god!" Xia Ruolin's panicked voice came from the phone, and then she hung up in a hurry.
Xia Weilan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly pressed the floor of the meeting room and immediately called Mo Beichen.
"Beep... beep... beep..." The busy signal on the phone was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xia Weilan's heart with each beep.
Xia Weilan had a bad feeling. She called Xia Ruolin back but found that she couldn't get through.
Just then, the elevator door opened. Xia Weilan rushed out of the elevator and ran directly towards the meeting room.
She had thought of countless possibilities. Was Mo Beichen in trouble? Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in a second. Then, without hesitation, she turned the handle of the meeting room door and rushed in.
"Bang!" There was a sound of something falling. Xia Weilan followed the sound and looked at the conference table. Her eyes widened instantly.
Next to the huge screen in front of the conference table, Mo Beichen was holding a document in one hand, looking at her in surprise.
He was dressed in a suit, and his noble and abstinent aura made him look like a king. He was neatly dressed, with a solemn expression, showing no sign of disorder.
The managers sitting around the table all stared at Xia Weilan, who had suddenly barged in, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
"This..." Xia Weilan rushed directly in front of Mo Beichen, then stopped in her tracks. She stood there a bit dazedly, with her bangs in a mess, and her expression still hadn't recovered from the previous fear.
Just as Xia Weilan realized that she had been tricked by Xia Ruolin, she quickly lowered her head and was about to apologize to everyone when she heard Mo Beichen's deep and magnetic voice:
"Since you're here, sit down and wait for me to finish this meeting."
Xia Weilan stared at Mo Beichen with wide eyes. Their eyes met in mid - air. Mo Beichen was unhurried. He pulled a chair over next to Xia Weilan and then faced everyone and dropped a bombshell:
"This is my wife, the Young Mistress of the Mo family."
With a bang, the whole meeting room erupted.
"Mr. Mo, you're married? When did this happen?"
"Oh my god, this is really explosive news!"
"Hello, Mistress..."
The whole meeting, which had been quiet and serious before, suddenly became extremely lively.
Xia Weilan looked a bit dazed. She just nodded instinctively to those who greeted her. Then, someone pressed her shoulder hard, and she sat down directly next to Mo Beichen.
"Continue!" Mo Beichen snapped coldly, instantly silencing the whole meeting room.
After that, Xia Weilan didn't really hear what was said in the meeting room. She just felt that the looks cast from all around were too complicated, and her heart was still pounding. Maybe it was because she had run too fast just now, or maybe it was because of Mo Beichen's words that had suddenly made her extremely excited.
