BXBX NOVEL Chapter 361 - Pretty Face
Chapter 361: Pretty Face
By analyzing the man’s micro-expression, Mo Li realized the man was extremely nervous and anxious. Other than that, his gaze was darting about, belying a struggle with intense emotions.
Mo Li thought Ji Yan might have a crush on her but during the training that afternoon, Ji Yan showed no sign of that. His gaze then was clear and unaffected. He wasn’t as nervous as he was now.
So why was the man so nervous? They were heading to Mo Li’s home so it had to do with someone at home. Other than Jiang Yao, the only other female was Qiao Qing. With that in mind, Mo Li sighed.?Another trouble caused by that woman.
After they arrived, Ji Yan didn’t stay. He drove away after dropping Mo Li off.
Though that was not the end of the day for Mo Li because she soon ran into Luo Cong.
Luo Cong’s face was red, the redness had reached his neck. Mo Li guessed that he must have demanded entry using the title of him being Mo Li’s fiance but was denied entry.
In the original plot, Qiao Qing was the one who came out to see him and it was how they reunited and formed an alliance against Mo Li. However, from the looks of things, Qiao Qing didn’t seem to notice Luo Cong this time, why was that?
When he saw Mo Li, Luo Cong’s eyes darkened and uncontrollable anger burned in his eyes. However, he quickly suppressed it. Regardless, Mo Li had captured all that. “You’re finally home. I’ve waited so long, this is for you.”
Luo Cong took out a small box, it seemed to contain some cakes. “I remember you used to like them when you were young. I wonder if you still like them now.”
Mo Li frowned at the small plastic bag. As a doctor, she was very concerned about food safety. That was why she often cooked for herself.
“Thank you but I have stopped taking sweets.” Mo Li didn’t take the bag, as rude as it was.
“I’ve been standing here for so long already, aren’t you going to invite me in?”
Mo Li took a deep breath. If not to hook the big fish behind this man, she wouldn’t waste time with him. She was tired from a whole day of shooting already.
“It’s already too late and my parents won’t allow me to let you in after midnight. I believe the driver is still working, I’ll have him drive you home instead.” Mo Li waved at the guard. “Arrange a ride for Young Master Luo.”
With Luo Cong looking on with shock, Mo Li turned into the house, leaving a flustered Luo Cong behind. Eventually, the driver came to call him. “Young Master Cong, can you give me your house address?”
Luo Cong crawled into the car with anger. He threw the bag at the driver. “Consider this a reward from me. Just drop me off at the city!”
The driver nodded and studied the bag of sweets. This is even worse than the food at the Mo Family. A man like this wants to win back Miss Mo’s heart? Laughable!
…
Once she was in her room, Mo Li switched on her phone. Ah Ao had sent her a full report.
“Miss Mo Li, today Xiao Yue was seen with Lu Ke at Mu Ai Cafe. We couldn’t get close enough to hear what they were discussing. With regards to Luo Cong, after he was dropped off in the city, he went straight to a bar. He is still there.”
Mo Li pondered to herself. After the incident, Xiao Yue is forcibly engaged to Chen Shuo. If she has truly settled down, she wouldn’t have to meet with Lu Ke.
Mo Li glanced at the messages from Quan Yu.?It’s all because of this man. No matter, since they want to play with me, I shall play with them!
…
The next morning, the production crew started work as usual. However, today, both the female lead and second female lead were present so the atmosphere was tense.
“Some people would even stoop down to stealing jobs from a dead person, how unscrupulous….” The second female lead, Yang Liu said when Li Min walked past her.
“What is it that you’re trying to say?”
“What do you think? Qi Yan was unlucky to lose her life and job, you were lucky to grab her slim pickings.”
“You’re wrong. I got this job due to my capability and talent.”
Yang Liu laughed and looked at Li Min. “Talent? Don’t be silly. If not for Han Shang, you wouldn’t be standing here today.”
“That’s the pot calling the kettle black. You are not a better actor than I am. You are here because of that pretty face of yours.”
The tension was high when suddenly Yang Liu sighed, “You’re right. I’m nothing more than a pretty face…. Just like you, wouldn’t you say?”
…
Han Shang sat at the set, waiting for Li Min. His hands flipped through some set of files.
“Boss, the target has arrived and is chatting with Jin Chuan.”
