So, adding something for the owner was only natural.
No one else bid against her, so Xia Weiwei got the rock for a million and two hundred thousand.
Once she secured what she came for, she left the auction before it ended.
This was to avoid the crowd and also get home early to start making the gift.
To her surprise, just as she walked into the parking lot, she saw a familiar car parked in the VIP area.
She stopped in her tracks thinking whether she was seeing things or everything was real when the door of the driver's side opened and Joel stepped out.
Now she was sure that it wasn't her eyes playing tricks on her. Her husband was in that car.
Without thinking too much, she jogged over to the car and swiftly opened the back door without too much burden.
She was met with Mo Shian's shining eyes as soon as she stepped into the car.
"What are you doing here?" She asked in surprise.
Mo Shian contemplated lying and saying that he was passing by, but then remembered what Xia Weiwei had said before while they were having dinner.
'Honesty was important.'
So, he decided to be honest.
"I came to pick you up." He said with a sigh.
To his surprise, his wife beamed like a Christmas tree and suggested going out for dinner to celebrate.
"What are we celebrating?" Mo Shian asked in surprise.
It wasn't any of their birthdays, it wasn't an anniversary. So, what were they celebrating?
He wondered to himself. Did he forget an important date?
"Let's celebrate appearing in public for the first time together." Xia Weiwei suddenly said.
Was that something worth celebrating?
Besides, "Didn't we already appear in public together before?"
Had she forgotten about the dinner and the movie?
"That's different. We were still discreet before, but today, we are open and above board." Xia Weiwei insisted.
To be honest, Mo Shian didn't see any difference, but since his wife wanted to celebrate, he would accompany her.
So, Mo Shian moved on to the driver's seat and Xia Weiwei sat in the passenger seat.
Joel was tasked with driving Xia Weiwei's Ferrari back home.
The couple headed to a high-end restaurant that had good privacy but was also busy throughout.
More important, the good there was great.
Xia Weiwei had always wanted to visit there but going alone was too boring.
She remembered that Xia Xinya had hinted to her several times that she wanted to eat in that restaurant.
Even though the restaurant wasn't small and had four floors, any table or private room there was books weeks or even months in advance.
Moreover, not everyone can gain entry. In that case, if Xia Weiwei wanted to eat there, she had to use either the Xia family's influence or her husband's great name.
She hadn't wanted to do either for obvious reasons and Xia Xinya tried various ways to convince her.
She was just happy that she hadn't fallen for that woman's tricks for a long time.
Eating in this restaurant was equivalent to making a statement.
If Xia Xinya ate there, and moreover, it was Weiwei who brought her, she would be sending a message that she was one of the heirs of the Xia family.
In that case, the inheritance that solely belongs to her would gain a contender.
Even if she didn't know and hadn't thought this, those observing from the side wouldn't know. And Xia Xinya would never pass up an opportunity to take advantage.
Xia Weiwei suspected that Xia Xinya knew about this, which was why she was so insistent on wanting to eat there.
Luckily for her, she hadn't brought her yet.
In fact, Xia Weiwei didn't know about the status given by this restaurant until her death in the previous life.
It was only after she was reborn that she didn't want to be ignorant like in her previous life that she did some research.
She was shocked by the things she found out that she always took for granted.
That was also how she found out about the restaurant.
However, Mo Shian didn't seem to care too much about it and walked towards the lobby hand-in-hand with his wife after parking the car.
As soon as they walked in, someone dressed in a neat suit walked towards them and greeted them politely.
"Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo, please follow me this way." The person, who wore a clean suit and had a badge indicating his name and his occupation as the manager, bent down a little and showed the way with his arm.
The two seemed already used to such treatment and walked ahead without saying another word.
They were led into a private room on the fourth floor, which happened to be the highest floor.
The private room was well decorated and the table was arranged like a dining table at home with chairs surrounding it.
It was as if this place could provide an experience just like eating at home.
Both Mo Shian and Xia Weiwei appeared satisfied with this arrangement and the manager offered them a menu and asked them to choose the dishes they liked before he left.
Once the dishes were served, a bottle of wine was also brought to the table and poured into two glasses.
Mo Shian knew his wife couldn't hold her liquor, so he planned to have her drink juice.
He called for a waiter and had them serve juice, but to his astonishment, while he was talking to the waiter, Xia Weiwei picked one of the glasses filled with wine and downed it.
She didn't even taste the wine the way it was supposed to, instead, she drank it as if afraid someone would snatch it.
She wasn't wrong. Mo Shian never intended for her to drink but by the time he realized, it was already too late.
Without another word, he dismissed the waiter.
There was no need for the juice anymore.
