At this moment, Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen were called into a room by Grandpa Xia.
On the table in front of Grandpa Xia lay an unassuming small wooden box. His hand gently stroked it as he looked at Xia Weilan in front of him and said amiably,
"Girl, it's your birthday today. Grandpa has been thinking about what to give you. After some thought, I've decided to give you this gift today."
Hearing this, Xia Weilan took a step forward. Grandpa Xia handed the small wooden box in his hand to her.
She touched the small wooden box. Without even looking, she knew that something given to her so solemnly by Grandpa must not be simple.
"Grandpa, what is this?" Xia Weilan subconsciously looked at Grandpa.
"This is the treasure map handed down in the Xia family. It's been passed down for generations. Although no one has ever cracked the secret of the treasure map, just the meaning behind it being passed down from generation to generation is enough. Our Xia family is not short of money these days," Grandpa Xia said very sensibly, his eyes clear and wise.
"Yes," Xia Weilan felt a warm current in her heart. She opened the box with one hand and took out a square cloth full of patterns and a key inside.
Mo Beichen also fixed his eyes on the things in her hand. Both of them saw the patterns clearly but couldn't understand their meaning.
"Cough, you young people have good brains. Maybe you can really find some clues," Grandpa Xia said as he stood up.
"Alright, we've been in here for too long. It's time to go out. Today is your birthday. It's most important for you to have a good time."
After Grandpa Xia finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out.
Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen glanced at each other, put away the treasure map, and followed Grandpa Xia.
At the banquet, as the birthday girl, Xia Weilan was warmly fawned over by many people. Whether sincerely or insincerely, they all greeted her with smiles and kept toasting her.
With Mo Beichen around, Xia Weilan drank relatively little. Most of the toasts were blocked by Mo Beichen.
But Xia Weilan had a poor tolerance for alcohol.
It wasn't until Mo Beichen was pulled by the seemingly normal - looking Xia Weilan into a corner and she hooked his chin with her finger that Mo Beichen noticed something was wrong.
"Sir, you're so handsome!"
Xia Weilan's eyes were clear, but her ears were so red that it seemed blood could drip from them.
Mo Beichen grabbed her wrist and his expression changed.
"Xia Weilan!"
"Xia Weilan?" She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly giggled and got even closer to him. Her lips whispered in his ear, "Call me Mei Ji!"
However, Mo Beichen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ear. Xia Weilan actually opened her mouth and bit his ear without mercy.
"Hiss!" Mo Beichen pushed her away and his expression darkened.
"Xia Weilan, do you like biting people so much when you're drunk?"
All he got was the charming smile of the girl in front of him, as if she was extremely proud.
Mo Beichen's expression tightened. He knew that Xia Weilan couldn't hear his words at all. So he directly pulled Xia Weilan out of the big restaurant and stuffed her into the car.
"Hey, Aunt Tian, prepare some sober - up soup at home. Get it ready within 10 minutes," Mo Beichen frowned and said in a deep voice.
There was a little red blood on Mo Beichen's ear, and it was throbbing faintly. But he acted as if nothing had happened and didn't even bother to deal with it. He just drove away with Xia Weilan.
When they got back to Jinxiu Yuting, Aunt Tian quickly came out with the sober - up soup. Seeing the scene in front of her, she was a bit stunned. Who on earth needed the sober - up soup? Neither of them seemed drunk.
"Hello there, little girl," Xia Weilan suddenly waved to Aunt Tian.
Aunt Tian's heart skipped a beat. She broke out in a cold sweat. Alright, now she knew who was drunk.
Mo Beichen took the sober - up soup and handed it to the seemingly normal Xia Weilan. "Drink it!"
Hearing this, Xia Weilan very cooperatively gulped it all down. After drinking, she even reached out her hand to Mo Beichen. "It's so delicious. I want more."
Mo Beichen calmly looked at her, then suddenly pulled her and walked upstairs.
"This..." Aunt Tian looked at Xia Weilan's back and felt a bit worried. How much alcohol did she drink to be like this?
In the room, Mo Beichen pressed Xia Weilan onto the bed. He leaned over and stared at her smiling eyes and asked uncertainly,
"Do you know who I am?"
"Sure," Xia Weilan blinked. Suddenly, she reached out and pressed her hand on his chest. Her expression was ambiguous. Then she suddenly reached into his collar and touched his skin.
"Xia Weilan, then tell me who I am?" There was a dangerous glint in Mo Beichen's eyes. He didn't move at all, allowing her to boldly stir his nerves.
"You're~" Xia Weilan paused for a moment, thought for a while and then said,
"You're the great demon! Hee - hee."
It seemed like an unconscious remark, but it extinguished the fire that had been ignited in Mo Beichen. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, his expression complicated.
"What did you say!"
"The great demon. Mo Beichen, the most...," Xia Weilan's mind was in a mess. For a moment, she thought she was still in her past life. Brainwashed by Ouyang Mingqi, she thought Mo Beichen was a great demon. But at the same time, she thought Mo Beichen was extremely handsome. Her mind was in utter chaos.
Hearing Xia Weilan actually say his name, Mo Beichen didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She actually called him a great demon?
But he had already been extremely restrained towards her. Why did she still call him that?
"Ugh!" At this moment, Xia Weilan suddenly leaned on his chest and vomited, soiling both of their clothes.
Mo Beichen sighed helplessly. He let her grab his collar and soil him too. After Xia Weilan finished vomiting, she just fell asleep.
Mo Beichen had already sorted out his thoughts. All his previous displeasure was gone. He just thought that Xia Weilan was really drunk and talking nonsense.
He stood up, took off his dirty clothes, and then went to take off Xia Weilan's clothes.
When they were both naked and lying close to each other, Mo Beichen endured the restlessness in his heart, picked her up in his arms and carried her into the bathroom. He carefully washed her until both of them smelled of fragrant shower gel. Then he personally put on her pajamas.
Not long after, he put her back on the bed, covered her with a thin quilt, and then got into the bed from the other side and put his arm around her waist.
Xia Weilan was like a dead pig at this moment. She knew nothing and slept until dawn.
However, Mo Beichen smelled the fragrance on her body and suffered the whole night. When he wanted to take a cold shower in the middle of the night, he found that Xia Weilan had unknowingly grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly.
Mo Beichen just held her like this and stayed awake all night.
