After the evening party ended, Xia Weilan was the last to leave.
After walking out of the banquet hall, Xia Weilan and Rui Li headed towards the school gate together.
Just then, the school gate was swarming with people and bustling. Xia Weilan and Rui Li walked over there curiously.
Just at this moment, someone in front said, "Xia Weilan is coming."
Suddenly, everyone turned around and looked at Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan and Rui Li walked over, and the crowd immediately made way for them. Xia Weilan saw a Maybach parked in the middle of the road in front of her, and the car window was rolled down, revealing Mo Beichen's handsome face.
"No wonder there are so many people around. Weilan, go over quickly," Rui Li pushed Xia Weilan.
Under everyone's gaze, Xia Weilan walked over, feeling like a celebrity walking on the red carpet.
The school principal had sent Mo Beichen into the car, thinking that Mo Beichen would leave like this. Unexpectedly, Mo Beichen rolled down the window and wasn't in a hurry to leave.
People began to whisper. Could it be that Mo Beichen was waiting for Xia Weilan?
Fortunately, at this moment, Xia Weilan finally walked out.
The principal immediately said to Xia Weilan, "Mr. Mo has been waiting for you for a long time. Get in the car quickly."
Otherwise, the whole school gate would be blocked all the time. What would that look like?
Xia Weilan nodded, quickly got into the car, and slammed the door shut.
Only then did the Maybach drive away.
Rui Li also walked to her own car and drove away, leaving behind a group of students still craning their necks.
"I think Xia Weilan is a nice person. When I contacted her in the student union before, she seemed very easy - going. She is not as willful as the rumors say."
"Yeah, I don't know who spread the rumor saying that Xia Weilan is a mistress who can't see the light. Mr. Mo has publicly picked her up and dropped her off. How could she be kept in the dark?"
"Alright, alright, let's disperse. We still have classes early tomorrow morning."
The crowd gradually left in groups, leaving only Sun Meimei standing there.
"She's just putting on an act. She thinks she's a celebrity!" Sun Meimei was extremely jealous.
When had she ever had such an honor that the schoolmates witnessed her like this, just like Cinderella putting on the glass slipper and getting into the carriage. And Xia Weilan's glass slipper was the man behind her.
Sun Meimei murmured to herself, "What's there to be so arrogant about? She's just a man's plaything."
The people who left didn't notice how hideous and terrifying Sun Meimei's expression was at this moment.

That night, it was already past 10 p.m. when Xia Weilan returned to the Jinxiu Yuting.
After she finished washing, she walked out in her pajamas and saw Mo Beichen sitting on the sofa looking at some materials.
Hearing the sound, he put down the materials, looked up, and when she passed by, suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Are you tired?" Mo Beichen asked.
She had been busy at school all day, and he guessed that Xia Weilan was a bit tired.
"I'm not tired. I'll go to the study to read some books."
Xia Weilan rubbed her hair with one hand, looked into his eyes, and explained, "I've been busy with the student union's affairs recently, which has distracted me a lot. I have to speed up my study."
Mo Beichen stood up from the sofa, but didn't let go of her hand. He said gently, "Then I'll go to the study with you."
In the study, it was very quiet. Mo Beichen was looking at the company's documents, and the occasional sound of Xia Weilan turning the pages could be heard. In this silent night, it seemed overly empty.
Mo Beichen frowned. When he no longer heard the sound of page - turning, he suddenly looked up and couldn't help chuckling. It was because Xia Weilan had already fallen asleep on the book.
Her short hair fell on her smooth and fair face. Her breathing was steady and peaceful, as if she was having a good dream, and even the corner of her mouth was slightly upturned.
The golden halo of the light shone on her eyes and eyebrows. Mo Beichen leaned a little closer and thought that Xia Weilan was very good - looking. She was not only a beauty but also very capable. Presumably, there would be more and more people admiring Xia Weilan in school.
Mo Beichen gently kissed Xia Weilan on the lips, his expression deep and unfathomable.
He suddenly remembered that such a charming woman had just experienced the pain of losing her relatives not long ago.
In the end, Xia Weilan never mentioned the Xia Group because she trusted him. He said he would help her get it back, and Xia Weilan really didn't ask about it anymore.
It was just that Second Uncle Xia of the Xia Group was self - defeating and managed the company poorly. Without Mo Beichen's intervention, there had already been a serious crisis. Recently, Mo Beichen had been watching coldly as the stock price of the Xia Group dropped bit by bit.
Mo Beichen carried Xia Weilan back to the bed. He originally thought that he could put her down gently without waking her up. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, Xia Weilan suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
Mo Beichen looked back and found that Xia Weilan didn't open her eyes. She just subconsciously grabbed him and murmured in a daze, "Where are you going?"
"I'm not going anywhere. Be good," Mo Beichen originally wanted to go and look at some materials, but at this moment, he immediately gave up that idea. He got into bed, turned off the light.
That night, Xia Weilan slept very soundly.
Early the next morning, Xia Weilan woke up. She habitually reached out to touch the position beside her, but didn't find Mo Beichen. Xia Weilan suddenly woke up and sat up straight.
Just then, Mo Beichen walked out of the bathroom in his sports suit.
Xia Weilan didn't notice that her face immediately softened the moment she saw Mo Beichen. She stretched and got out of bed. "Are you going for a morning run? Wait for me. I'll go with you."
Xia Weilan was extremely energetic today, as if she was full of motivation.
Mo Beichen silently watched her enter the bathroom and thought that maybe Xia Weilan had made new friends, so she was no longer as depressed as in the previous days.
There were rows of tree - lined paths outside the villa. Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen started running around the paths. Mo Beichen deliberately slowed down at first because he was worried that Xia Weilan's physical strength couldn't keep up. Unexpectedly, no matter what speed Mo Beichen ran at, Xia Weilan could keep up with his pace, and she was only slightly out of breath.
Mo Beichen couldn't help but have a new understanding of Xia Weilan.
After the two returned to the villa to wash up, they had breakfast together.
On the dining table, there was a breakfast in front of Xia Weilan, including milk, steak, corn, rice porridge, and sausage. The portion in front of Mo Beichen was twice as much as Xia Weilan's.
Xia Weilan thought she ate quite a lot, but in front of Mo Beichen, she felt ashamed of herself.
"No wonder you're still full of energy after the morning run every day. I suddenly find that there's a scientific basis for this," Xia Weilan glanced at him.
"I have to keep my brain running at a high speed every day. It's not easy to manage a company. I really need to replenish my physical strength," Mo Beichen explained.
