That night, while Mo Beichen was chatting with some foreign friends he knew at the door, Xia Weilan entered the cocktail party one step ahead.
Inside, it was bustling with excitement. Handsome men and beautiful women from various countries were clinking glasses and chatting merrily under the dazzling lights.
Xia Weilan stood in the crowd. Before she could get used to the lively atmosphere around her, a young man in a tailcoat grabbed her onto the stage.
"All single friends can participate. And this young lady, this gentleman, you two look well - matched. Come on up quickly!"
The man casually grabbed two more people and made them stand beside Xia Weilan. Xia Weilan was a bit dazed for a moment. She was just about to explain that she had come with a male companion, but unexpectedly the host had already started the event of the night and didn't take her into account at all.
"Next, it's the most exciting couple - matching session of the night..."
At the entrance, when Mo Beichen walked in, he just happened to hear this voice and saw Xia Weilan already standing on the stage. Immediately, his face darkened.
Mo Beichen walked directly onto the stage. The host welcomed him very much and continued without even pausing:
"The ladies will perform a show and confess their love to the men they like. If the men agree, they can hold hands and form a couple!"
"Oh my god, I didn't expect there's something like If You Are the One even in foreign countries!" Xia Weilan didn't notice that Mo Beichen had already stood under the stage. She murmured a few words, craned her neck and looked towards the entrance, thinking that she should slip away quickly before Mo Beichen found out.
Just then, a blonde - haired, blue - eyed beauty with a curvy figure walked onto the center of the stage and stood opposite Mo Beichen. Her expression was extremely excited.
"I'm going to perform a dance. I hope you'll like it."
Xia Weilan was just about to sneak away when she heard the voice. Subconsciously, she looked towards the stage and froze on the spot.
There stood Mo Beichen in a suit. His dark eyes were coldly staring at her. He exuded a noble and cold aura, like a lotus on an iceberg, peerless.
Almost all the women were attracted to him, their eyes shining with excitement.
No one had expected that such an outstanding man was still single.
The blonde foreign girl had started dancing towards Mo Beichen. The closer she danced, the nearer she got to him.
Xia Weilan was fuming with rage looking at Mo Beichen who stood still. Mo Beichen didn't back away, and the foreign girl was dancing like she was doing a pole dance. She was almost clinging to him.
Xia Weilan's hands were tightly clenched. There was a fire burning in her heart that couldn't be quenched.
"What a wonderful dance! May I ask, sir, would you like to be paired with this lady?" the host asked excitedly.
After all, the lady's dance was really eye - catching. Even the host was a bit excited and couldn't help looking at Mo Beichen ambiguously, thinking that they might be like dry firewood meeting raging flames after they got off the stage.
"No," Mo Beichen said coldly like a man with a poker - face.
Hearing this, the beautiful girl looked at Mo Beichen in disbelief. Her eyes were full of disappointment and unwillingness, but she could only step back.
Just then, passing by the beautiful girl, a young and delicate - looking woman, Xia Weilan, walked gracefully up to Mo Beichen. Her expression was as sharp as a knife shooting at him.
She knew that she couldn't let other women have the chance to get close to Mo Beichen anymore. She had to step forward herself.
Seeing that Xia Weilan had chosen Mo Beichen, the host asked without any surprise:
"What would you like to perform, madam?"
"I'm also going to dance." Xia Weilan's words made Mo Beichen's eyes flash. He stared directly at Xia Weilan. He didn't know that Xia Weilan could dance. A hint of interest flashed through his mind, but his expression remained poker - faced.
Xia Weilan winked at Mo Beichen, then lifted her skirt and danced gracefully like a butterfly. It was a soft and gentle dance with Chinese characteristics, emphasizing charm rather than high - difficulty moves. But with just a few simple movements, Xia Weilan exuded a unique feminine charm.
Everyone present fell silent and stared blankly at Xia Weilan. They couldn't tell exactly what attracted them, but they just couldn't take their eyes off her.
At this moment, Mo Beichen's pupils dilated slightly. A flash of surprise and appreciation passed through his eyes. After Xia Weilan finished dancing, he didn't even give the host a chance to ask. He directly walked over, took Xia Weilan's little hand and got off the stage.
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into warm applause.
"Aren't you satisfied with showing off enough? You want all the men to look at you!" Mo Beichen pulled Xia Weilan into a corner. Seeing her frequently looking back at the stage, he couldn't help getting angry.
"No," Xia Weilan looked a bit innocent. She just looked back because everyone was so enthusiastic.
Hearing this, Mo Beichen couldn't help tapping Xia Weilan's head. "Mrs. Mo, have you gone too far?"
Xia Weilan hugged her head in pain. Only then did she realize that she really shouldn't have been on the stage, so she felt a bit guilty.
On the stage, the beautiful girl from before widened her eyes. She couldn't believe that such an outstanding man had been snatched away by a thin girl like Xia Weilan.
She got off the stage indignantly. Standing aside and looking at Mo Beichen scolding Xia Weilan, she was a bit stunned.
Although she couldn't understand the language they were speaking, the beautiful girl could tell that Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan knew each other. That's why Mo Beichen took Xia Weilan off the stage. And judging from Mo Beichen's cold look, it seemed that he didn't like Xia Weilan.
The beautiful girl was overjoyed. If that was really the case, it would be easy. Her eyes lit up and a plan came to her mind.
"I really didn't do it on purpose. Someone pulled me up there," Xia Weilan was still bowing her head and explaining. Suddenly, she felt her wrist tighten, and then she was pulled away. When she regained her senses, she found that she was being pulled by a blond young man.
"Beauty, I've been noticing you for a long time. Would you do me a favor and have a drink with me?" The playboy winked at Xia Weilan. His almond - shaped eyes emitted a powerful electric current.
Xia Weilan suddenly got goosebumps all over her body. She immediately pulled back her hand.
"Sorry, I have a male companion."
"Beauty!" Seeing that Xia Weilan was about to turn around and leave, the playboy quickly blocked her way.
Mo Beichen, who was originally about to come forward, was blocked by a woman. He squinted his eyes and his expression was extremely cold. "Get out of the way."
The beautiful girl was about to throw herself at him, but was shocked by the cold aura around Mo Beichen. She froze on the spot, swallowed hard and stepped back immediately.
Mo Beichen frowned coldly, directly pushed the playboy away and pulled Xia Weilan into his arms.
Xia Weilan was leaning against his chest. Just as she was about to say something, he suddenly grabbed her chin. She looked up at him blankly and saw Mo Beichen's extremely handsome face getting closer and closer. Then he kissed her lips.
