The morning sun shone on the big bed in the room. Xia Weilan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she opened her eyes. Those still a bit hazy eyes carried the confusion of just waking up. Immediately afterwards, she blinked and sat up from the bed.
She found that she had already returned to the Splendid Royal Mansion. As for how she got back last night, she couldn't remember a thing.
After washing up, Xia Weilan left her room and saw Mo Beichen coming back through the door in his sports gear.
Mo Beichen was soaked in sweat from head to toe. When he was going upstairs, he bumped right into Xia Weilan. Originally planning to quickly go into his room to wash up, Mo Beichen suddenly heard Xia Weilan's surprised voice:
"What happened to your ear?"
Hearing this, Mo Beichen came back to his senses and gave Xia Weilan a meaningful look. "It was bitten by a little kitten."
"Kitten?" Before Xia Weilan could react, she saw Mo Beichen turn around and enter his room.
"Missus, breakfast is ready," Aunt Tian said as soon as she saw Xia Weilan standing still in the middle of the stairs.
Xia Weilan subconsciously walked down the stairs. Her mind still felt a bit strange. Where did the kitten come from? There were no cats raised in the Splendid Royal Mansion.
"By the way, Aunt Tian, how did I get back last night?" Xia Weilan looked up as soon as she sat down.
"Missus was brought back by Sir."
"Did I make a fool of myself while drunk?" Xia Weilan asked somewhat warily as if she had thought of something.
"This..." Aunt Tian remembered the scene when Xia Weilan called her a little girl. Her mouth opened and closed, but she just couldn't say it out.
Just then, Mo Beichen walked down the stairs, interrupting their conversation.
"What do you think you could have done while drunk?"
Immediately afterwards, Mo Beichen sat down gracefully beside Xia Weilan. With his shoulders squared, he ate his breakfast elegantly.
Xia Weilan blinked her eyes and asked in disbelief:
"Did I really do something?"
Hearing this, Mo Beichen didn't even raise his head.
"Yes."
Xia Weilan's heart was as curious as if it had been scratched by a kitten. She quickly asked:
"What on earth did I do?"
Just then, the originally elegant Mo Beichen suddenly paused. Then he slowly turned around and stared deeply at Xia Weilan.
"You forced yourself on me last night."
Then, Mo Beichen turned his head to let her see his ear, on which there was still coagulated blood.
"You bit this."
Xia Weilan was so shocked by what Mo Beichen said that her eyes popped out. She didn't even dare to look into Mo Beichen's somewhat aggrieved eyes at the moment. She simply couldn't imagine how crazy she had been last night to make Mo Beichen show such a heart - broken expression.
Mo Beichen's deep - sea - like eyes stared intently at Xia Weilan. When he saw a flash of guilt in Xia Weilan's eyes, he didn't show any sign of emotion. He just deliberately wanted to scare this little girl and teach her not to get herself drunk again.
"Hubby, I'm sorry," Xia Weilan said, looking at him somewhat shamefully. "Where else did I hurt you?"
"Eat your breakfast!" Mo Beichen gave her a deep look and then withdrew his gaze.
During the whole breakfast, Xia Weilan ate absent - mindedly. Until Mo Beichen finished eating and stood up, Xia Weilan immediately put down the barely - touched food and stood up too.
"Hubby~" Xia Weilan called out after him, but Mo Beichen strode towards the car coldly and drove away.
Xia Weilan was on the verge of tears. She reached out and slapped her forehead, trying to recall something, but found that she couldn't remember anything. She felt even more annoyed.
Just then, Aunt Tian came downstairs with the changed clothes in her hands. When she passed by Xia Weilan, Xia Weilan saw the vomit stains on the clothes at a glance. Her face darkened even more because she saw that there was also a big stain on Mo Beichen's clothes.
On that day, while at work, Xia Weilan kept sending text messages to Mo Beichen to apologize. Knowing that he was busy, she didn't dare to call and bother him.
On the other side, at the Mo Ying Group.
Mo Beichen was in a meeting. From time to time, he would look at the lit - up screen, and a rare look of pleasure appeared on his face. The corners of his lips curled up.
This scene made the originally nervous managers relax. Knowing that Mo Beichen was in a good mood, a few bold ones immediately reported all the projects for the second half of the year. Unexpectedly, Mo Beichen just gave a few suggestions and then easily agreed.
On that day, the whole meeting was surprisingly relaxed, and the atmosphere was very good. After the meeting ended, the managers were still whispering to each other in the corridor:
"What's wrong with General Manager Mo today?"
"He looks like he's in love. Maybe he's in a passionate relationship."
"I know. It's with Miss Xia..."
In the meeting room, Mo Beichen was flipping through his phone, looking at the soft words sent by Xia Weilan. Just as he was thinking about calling her back, a call came in.
It was Nan Fengyan.
"Brother Mo, it's sister - in - law's birthday. Shouldn't we hold a make - up celebration for her tonight?"
Celebration? Before Mo Beichen could say anything, Nan Fengyan continued:
"Let's also invite Rui Li by the way."
"This is your real purpose, right?" Mo Beichen curled his lips.
After hanging up the phone, Mo Beichen called Xia Weilan. Immediately, Xia Weilan's somewhat cautious voice came from the other end:
"Hubby~ I really didn't mean it."
The smile in Mo Beichen's heart could no longer be hidden. It immediately showed at the corners of his eyes. He thought it was quite interesting to tease this little girl.
"Come with me to a party tonight."
Xia Weilan agreed without hesitation.
That night, after work, Xia Weilan returned to the Splendid Royal Mansion and changed into a decent evening dress. Not long after, a black Maybach stopped at the door. Xia Weilan got into the car, and Mo Beichen drove off directly.
"Hubby, what kind of party is this?" Xia Weilan looked at Mo Beichen's calm face.
"You'll know when we get there." Mo Beichen didn't even look at her and kept his eyes focused on the road.
Not long after, they arrived at a restaurant. As soon as Mo Beichen led Xia Weilan into the private room, there was a sudden "bang", which made Xia Weilan stunned. Immediately afterwards, Nan Fengyan's charming peach - blossom eyes appeared in front of her. He was holding a streamer in his hand.
"Sister - in - law, happy birthday."
Xia Weilan steadied herself and looked at Nan Fengyan, who was like a smiling fox. She was a bit slow to react.
Then, Xia Weilan saw Rui Li standing beside them, wearing a figure - hugging dress and saying nothing.
"Take a seat first," Mo Beichen said as he put his hand on Xia Weilan's shoulder and led her in.
Inside was an entertainment - style dining table. You could eat, play games, watch movies, or sing KTV.
Xia Weilan sat down in front of the table full of dishes and had already realized that they were going to celebrate her birthday today.
Apart from Nan Fengyan and Rui Li, there were also a few of Mo Beichen's friends whom Xia Weilan had met once. They politely called her sister - in - law.
"How did sister - in - law and Brother Mo meet?" a young master suddenly asked.
