"Does your hand still hurt?" Mo Beichen fed her a mouthful of soup and then asked indifferently.
"It doesn't hurt that much. As long as I don't bump it, it'll be fine." Xia Weilan suddenly stopped talking when she said this, because she saw Han Yishi looking extremely pained and winking at her. Immediately afterwards, she heard Han Yishi put down his chopsticks and look at Mo Beichen extremely seriously:
"Uncle, I think since we're going to cooperate, I might as well take Miss Xia to the company right now and have a good talk."
"Finish eating first!" Mo Beichen's originally gentle expression turned cold when he looked at Han Yishi.
"But Uncle..." Han Yishi twitched the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes, and suddenly let out a heavy breath, saying:
"Uncle, you didn't used to do these kinds of things. When did you start to degenerate? Miss Xia is still so young. Don't ruin her."
No wonder Uncle came to find him specifically today. It turned out he was after Xia Weilan, trying to take the little girl for himself.
"What are you talking nonsense about!" Mo Beichen heavily threw down his chopsticks and stared at Han Yishi in extreme annoyance.
Han Yishi shrank his neck, but seeing Xia Weilan looking worried, his hero complex made him unable to back down. He immediately stood up and said to Xia Weilan:
"Miss Xia, I agreed to this cooperation myself. You don't have to listen to my uncle."
Xia Weilan widened her eyes and only then understood the implication of Han Yishi's words.
Xia Weilan frowned and explained awkwardly: "Yishi, actually your uncle is already married."
"Married? Then you're still willing to be with him?" Han Yishi was stunned for a moment and even more displeased.
"Because I..." Before Xia Weilan could finish her sentence, she felt Mo Beichen's tall figure suddenly looming over her. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her up.
"Han Yishi, do you still remember how you caused trouble yesterday?" Mo Beichen took her with him and stared coldly at Han Yishi, his gaze extremely cold.
"Yesterday..." Han Yishi was taken aback. He was a bit confused about why the topic had changed so quickly, but as long as it was Mo Beichen asking, he would answer very honestly:
"Yesterday I thought a little girl was being bullied, so I beat up that man. I didn't expect the two of them to be a couple."
"Humph!" Mo Beichen snorted coldly: "It seems you still haven't learned your lesson!"
After saying that, Mo Beichen directly took Xia Weilan and walked out. When Han Yishi chased out, the agent guarding the door immediately grabbed Han Yishi:
"Master, don't cause any more trouble!"
"Xiao Liu, don't hold me back. My uncle is about to break his rules. He's going to harm that little girl. I can't just sit back and do nothing!"
Han Yishi was a bit excited and also a bit thrilled. In the past, it was always him who did something wrong and was taught a lesson by Mo Beichen. He never thought that the high - and - mighty Mo Beichen would also make a mistake. At this moment, he, a smart person, was needed to save his uncle.
"Why are you still holding me back? Oh, it'll be too late if we don't hurry." Han Yishi watched as Mo Beichen opened the car door for Xia Weilan. He was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.
"Master, stop making trouble. They're husband and wife. What harm could there be!" The agent stamped her foot in helplessness.
"What? Husband and wife? My uncle is married?" Han Yishi fell silent. He remembered what Xia Weilan had said, that his uncle was already married.
"God, my uncle is really an old cow eating young grass..." Han Yishi was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to blurt out his thoughtless words, his mouth was covered by Agent Liu.
Not far away, before getting in the car, Mo Beichen stared at Han Yishi with a warning look. That look made Han Yishi so scared that he almost lost all his strength and could hardly stand still.
Han Yishi thought that he might have caused trouble again, and it was a big one.
"Your relative is quite cute." Xia Weilan saw that Mo Beichen had been keeping a cold face and quickly comforted him.
"Is that cute? His head is full of water. Although his TV dramas have made a name for themselves, I didn't expect his mind to be brainwashed too. He thinks he's a chivalrous man. He won't be happy unless he causes some trouble every day. He's already 20 years old, but still acts like a child." Mo Beichen was obviously very angry. He was frustrated that Han Yishi couldn't be more promising. He didn't seem like an uncle but more like a father.
"Next time, choose a practical role for him and let him study it well. Maybe he'll change." Xia Weilan had a great impression of Han Yishi. He felt just like her younger brother, so she couldn't help but speak up for him.
But Mo Beichen felt uncomfortable. The words "old cow eating young grass" from Han Yishi kept ringing in his mind.
Mo Beichen secretly glanced at Xia Weilan in the rear - view mirror and thought: She is quite young.
But then he looked at himself in the rear - view mirror and thought that he wasn't old either.
That brat was just talking nonsense.
"I'll take you to a quiet place to eat." Mo Beichen suddenly said.
Xia Weilan thought that she was actually already full, but Mo Beichen hadn't eaten a single bite.
"Okay." Xia Weilan answered and then fell silent.
She remembered what Han Yishi had said, that Old Master Mo had previously fancied Xia Ruolin to be the daughter - in - law of the Mo family.
"Husband..." Xia Weilan thought about it and just asked out loud: "Did the Xia and Mo families really make a betrothal agreement 20 years ago?"
Hearing this, Mo Beichen's expression changed. He immediately explained: "Yes, they did. But at that time, it was a marriage agreement with your father. It was said that if the two families had a boy and a girl, they would become in - laws."
"Later, your father went missing. Xue Zhiqing wanted Xia Ruolin to marry into our family, thinking that it would fulfill the oath back then. Grandpa also thought that this would make the two families even closer and always tried to match me up with Xia Ruolin."
Mo Beichen's voice was calm, but Xia Weilan suddenly felt relieved. As long as Mo Beichen didn't have that kind of intention, that was fine.
Moreover, if it weren't for Old Master Mo's insistence on the marriage, she wouldn't have been able to marry Mo Beichen so easily.
Just then, Mo Beichen's phone suddenly rang.
When Mo Beichen saw that it was Xia Ruolin calling, he couldn't help but frown and immediately hung up.
But Xia Ruolin called back quickly, looking extremely patient.
"What's wrong?" Xia Weilan didn't see the caller ID and couldn't help but ask.
Mo Beichen squinted his eyes and then clicked to answer.
"Brother Beichen, where are you? We haven't had a meal together for a long time. Let's..."
"No time!" Mo Beichen said coldly. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, the other side suddenly said anxiously:
"Wait, Brother Beichen. Don't hang up yet. Do you know that Xia Weilan is having a meal with a male celebrity right now? My secretary saw it with her own eyes. And that place is a well - known place for couples to date. Brother Beichen, how much do you know about Weilan? How much do you know about her past?"
Xia Weilan had been observing Mo Beichen's expression. She clearly saw Mo Beichen's face darken bit by bit, just like the calm before a storm. Her heart couldn't help but tighten.
And Mo Beichen was truly extremely disgusted. He said bluntly: "Xia Ruolin, you'd better take care of yourself. Stay out of other people's business. Maybe you'll live a bit longer."
After saying that, Mo Beichen didn't wait for the other side's reaction and directly hung up the phone.
Xia Ruolin on the other side didn't dare to call back again.
Only then did Xia Weilan understand that the person who had called so many times like a nag was actually Xia Ruolin. She still hadn't given up even now!
After having lunch with Mo Beichen at noon, Xia Weilan received a call from Agent Liu, saying that she could go to the company to discuss the cooperation in the afternoon.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, a sleek Porsche parked at the entrance of the Xia Group. A young man in fashionable clothes got out of the car. It was the current popular young star, Han Yishi. Han Yishi was only 20 years old this year. With his unruly style, he had won the pursuit of many fans as soon as he debuted. A costume drama had even catapulted Han Yishi to become a first - line star.
