In the president's office of Mo Ying Group, Mo Beichen received a text message on his phone. When he saw it, he was stunned for a moment and read the content several times:
"I've made up my mind. As long as you don't get married, I can be with you. I'm at Yunmeng Hotel now. Come here. I'll wait for you."
Then there was the content edited by Second Master Xia himself: "This was sent by Xia Weilan to Ouyang Mingqi, and I caught them having a secret meeting on the spot. You should discipline your wife."
Mo Beichen stared at the text message with a strange look on his face.
In the evening, at Jinxiu Yuting.
As soon as Xia Weilan entered, she saw Mo Beichen sitting on the sofa in black. Her heart skipped a beat. She felt the air around was cold and heavy. Was Mo Beichen angry?
"I'm back," Xia Weilan walked over, with a premonition that Mo Beichen might have believed what Second Master Xia said.
Mo Beichen raised his eyes and glanced at her. There was a hint of complexity in his eyes. He asked straightforwardly, "Did you meet Ouyang Mingqi alone?"
Mo Beichen had just watched the video footage from Yunmeng Hotel. It was indeed true that after Xia Weilan went in, Ouyang Mingqi also entered.
"I didn't make an appointment with him. He just showed up suddenly," Xia Weilan looked into his eyes, straightening her back without any hint of hiding.
"Then what does this text message mean?" Mo Beichen threw his phone on the table.
He had read the content of the text message several times.
He told himself that it must not have been sent by Xia Weilan. But the fact was that the text message did show Xia Weilan's phone number. If it wasn't her, then who could it be?
"If I said I didn't send this text message, would you believe me?" Xia Weilan felt a chill in her heart. After being married for a year, couldn't he understand her yet?
Xia Weilan herself also found it strange. She was alone at that time. Could someone have taken her phone and sent the message to someone else? But it was really impossible because her phone had never left her side during that period.
A complex look flashed across Xia Weilan's face. She knew that her words didn't hold water now. Without any evidence, her words seemed so pale.
Sure enough, Mo Beichen stared at her unmoved, and his look turned even colder. "Is this your explanation?"
As the saying goes, seeing is believing while hearing is deceiving.
Mo Beichen really didn't know whether he should believe her with her so full - of - holes explanation.
If he believed her, he would feel like a fool.
If he didn't believe her, he still hoped that what she said was true.
Mo Beichen was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly shook his head and chuckled. "You said you didn't send the text message. Then why were you hugging Ouyang Mingqi?"
Mo Beichen had verified with the waiter instead of just believing Second Master Xia's one - sided story. The result he found was the same as what Second Master Xia had said.
Thinking of this, Mo Beichen suddenly flew into a rage. He grabbed Xia Weilan's arm and looked at her disappointedly. "Which hand did you use to hug him?"
Jealousy blinded Mo Beichen's eyes. He didn't see the flash of pain in Xia Weilan's eyes.
It seemed that Mo Beichen was not willing to believe her.
She had no evidence to prove that she didn't send the text message, and she was also unable to defend herself for being hugged by Ouyang Mingqi.
Seeing Xia Weilan sitting there calmly without saying a word, Mo Beichen suddenly let go of her hand, flicked his sleeve, and drove away directly.
He was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions when facing Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan blinked her eyes, and they turned red. She sniffed.
She didn't know what was going on with her today. Why did such a thing happen to her? Who on earth was trying to harm her?
Xia Weilan couldn't sleep that night, while Mo Beichen didn't come back all night.
In the morning, Xia Weilan woke up groggily. She heard some noise beside her ear. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mo Beichen coming out of the bathroom.
Xia Weilan was stunned for a moment and immediately sat up. Had Mo Beichen finally understood?
But the next second, Mo Beichen walked to the wardrobe, took out a tie, and said indifferently, "I'll just change my clothes and go to work."
Mo Beichen didn't say anything more and was about to go out with the tie in his hand.
Xia Weilan was irritated by Mo Beichen's indifferent attitude. Her temper flared up, and she growled in a low voice on the spot, "Don't you feel how I am towards you?"
Mo Beichen's back was like a mountain, tall and unshakable. He didn't turn around but said in a low voice, "What do the photos of you and Ouyang Mingqi tugging at each other in front of the wedding dress shop mean?"
Once, twice, three times.
With so much evidence piled up, how could Mo Beichen believe her?
Not long ago, someone had sent the photos of Xia Weilan and Ouyang Mingqi going in and out of the wedding dress shop together to Mo Beichen's phone. At that time, he didn't take it seriously. Although from the photos, it seemed that Xia Weilan was in love with Ouyang Mingqi.
But Mo Beichen thought it must be a misunderstanding, so he didn't pay much attention.
But what about what happened yesterday?
Xia Weilan didn't admit sending the text message, and she didn't explain her entanglement with Ouyang Mingqi.
Xia Weilan just told him to look into her heart.
Photos? Xia Weilan thought for a long time and then remembered the incident three months ago when she went to the wedding dress shop to pick up clothes for Liu Yinyin.
The person behind all this had actually been planning to frame her for several months.
Who was this person? Was it Liu Yinyin?
A suspect came to Xia Weilan's mind, and her expression became unpredictable.
Mo Beichen saw Xia Weilan's expression and thought she was feeling guilty.
"Who sent you the photos?" Xia Weilan suddenly looked up and asked.
"Who do you think it is?" Mo Beichen was also stunned for a moment. He still didn't know who had sent them to him because the sender had used a temporary phone number.
The two of them just stood there in a stalemate, without saying a word.
Then Mo Beichen walked out first and slammed the door hard.
The loud noise made Xia Weilan's body tremble.
When Xia Weilan went downstairs again, Mo Beichen was already gone.
The bowls and chopsticks on the table hadn't been touched at all. It seemed that Mo Beichen didn't even eat breakfast just to avoid seeing her.
Xia Weilan looked at the cold weather outside. Wrapping herself in a windbreaker, she also went out.

In the hotel, the heating was turned up high.
Xia Ruolin was sitting with a few girlfriends with a big smile on her face. She couldn't wait to brag about her happy marriage.
"I just came to see you guys. My mother - in - law won't let me eat randomly outside. She said I have to pay attention to my diet."
"And my husband. He said that if I want to leave later, I can just call him. He's so nice to me now. He does whatever I say. I'm even a bit embarrassed to order him around. Men should be busy with their own business, so I've decided to let the driver take me home later."
Her girlfriends made admiring noises, which made Xia Ruolin look like a proud peacock. She gently stroked her belly. "I want to name the baby. You guys help me come up with some ideas."
One of her girlfriends immediately suggested a name, but Xia Ruolin just shook her head and smiled. Actually, she had already thought of a name in her heart. She just wanted them to join in the fun.
"These names are not good. I've thought of one myself. If it's a boy, I'll name him Ouyang Aibao."
Her girlfriends immediately shut up and forced a smile. "What if it's a girl?"
"How could it be a girl?" Xia Ruolin said immediately. "I haven't thought of a name for a girl yet."
"Yeah, it must be a boy. Ouyang Aibao. This name sounds so happy," one of her girlfriends said after pretending to think seriously.
