Shi Nianyao blinked a couple of times and coughed before she said, “I- I came back to work as an extra! Is there a job vacancy on your crew?”
She stared at Mo Xicheng anxiously waiting for a reply .
If he showed his interest in keeping her, it would mean that he liked her .
If he didn’t ask her to stay, it would mean that he didn’t like her .
As this thought formed in her mind, Mo Xicheng replied, “We don’t need any extras . ”
Shi Nianyao dropped her shoulders reflexively, as she felt immediately crushed like a beaten eggplant .
For a moment, when Mo Xicheng had told Mo Zhi she was his girlfriend, she had thought that he had accepted her .
But it had turned out to be her own imagination .
If that was the case, why had he hugged her?
Arghhh!
Looking terribly dejected, she resembled a puppy abandoned by its owner . When Mo Xicheng saw this, he had an uncontrollable urge to laugh aloud .
He extended his hand and affectionately ruffled her hair as he said, “However, it happens that my junior assistant has taken leave to return home, so I do need an assistant . I wonder if Ms . Shi might be interested?”
“…What?” Shi Nianyao was taken by surprise .
The unexpected good news made her think she was hearing things .
She looked so adorable and comical that Mo Xicheng started to laugh .
And his laughter was like flower buds that suddenly bloomed, so mesmerizing that Shi Nianyao was stunned .
When she finally recovered, she quickly said, “You’re saying that I can stay, is that right?”
He looked at the dazzled girl and nodded .
“Ahahah, I’m so happy!” she shouted as she jumped up and down excitedly .
At this point, they suddenly noticed that not far away a couple stood next to a parked sedan, looking at them .
Mo Xicheng paused .
He had almost forgotten that Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian were here to visit .
He turned towards Shi Nianyao and said, “Best Actor Shen is here and I’m inviting him to dinner . Will you join us?”
Together?
Without a second thought, she nodded .
Last time, she had only managed to have a meal with him through Qiao Lian’s help, but this time, her idol had asked her himself .
Grinning from ear-to-ear, she followed Mo Xicheng as he walked towards Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan .
Mo Xicheng nodded at them and suggested, “How about hot pot?”
Shen Liangchuan said, “I’m easy . ”
Mo Xicheng made a call to inform the crew and then, without bothering to remove his makeup, they headed for dinner .
As they walked, Shi Nianyao suddenly turned to Qiao Lian and asked, “Chief Editor Lian Lian, why did you come here? Wow, it’s been a long time since I saw you!”
Qiao Lian was flabbergasted .
Had she and Shen Liangchuan been just invisible up until this moment?
She grimaced at once, realizing how frightening a woman in love could be .
Shi Nianyao dashed towards her, gave her a hug and then returned to her place next to Mo Xicheng . Every now and then, she would turn to look at him . That shining expression on her face… it was just too much to take .
Qiao Lian couldn’t bear watching her any longer and looked away .
Finally, they were seated in the hotpot restaurant with the heated hot pot before them .
As the dishes were being served, a call came in for Mo Xicheng . His expression was frosty as he said, “Yes, in the hotpot restaurant in front . You’re coming over? Ok . ”
After he hung up, he turned to Shi Nianyao . “My mom’s coming . ”
What? Meeting the mother-in-law already? How nerve-wracking!
And…
Five minutes later, a woman arrived at the hotpot restaurant .
The private room door was thrown open and, before everyone even managed a clear view of the woman’s face, the loud crack of a slap was heard .
