Chapter 145: Who Was the Man?
All of a sudden, all sorts of posts about Fang Mo’er meeting her secret lover had disappeared. Fang Mo’er was puzzled when she received a call.
She looked at the caller ID “Kissing Husband”, and gulped.
She looked at Shen Yue and said, “Oh no.”
Fang Mo’er and Shen Yue had allowed the gossip to fester without clarifying the matter. As a result, many people were convinced that Fang Mo’er really had a secret lover.
Fang Mo’er and her manager had been busy hyping up the issue. Thus, it had slipped Fang Mo’er’s mind that her real husband, Shi Mo, did not know about this.
After Fang Mo’er picked up, Shi Mo’s lowered voice sounded, “Where are you?”
Fang Mo’er gulped, “Well, I’m with Sister Shen. Please let me explain…”
“Oh,” Shi Mo’s voice became colder, “Wait there, I’ll be there soon.”
After saying that, he hung up.
Shen Yue hurriedly stood up. “Wait here, I still have things to do so I’ll be leaving first. You two can handle your own matters.”
After saying that, Shen Yue immediately stood up.
Fang Mo’er stretched out her hand. “Sister Shen…”
Shi Mo had arrived too quickly and pulled open the door of Shen Yue’s office.
“I didn’t know that you had a secret lover?”
Shi Mo said as he strode in.
When he had first seen the gossip, he had not believed it.
However, it was true that his wife had disguised herself to meet another man.
He had thought that it might just be a misunderstanding.
He had not expected Fang Mo’er to pretend to be mute and just acquiesce to the gossip.
Shi Mo had not been able to stand it any longer and had ordered that the thread be taken down.
“Tell me, who was that handsome man?” Shi Mo sat down on the sofa.
Fang Mo’er replied guiltily, “That’s the man who came to buy the rights to my manga.”
“Buy the rights? Then why the need for the disguise?” Shi Mo stared at her.
Fang Mo’er sheepishly showed him the transcript of her conversation with the chief editor of the website. “This is what happened. I was afraid that someone would find out about my large-scale manga and embarrass me, so I disguised myself.”
Shi Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
On the way here, he had thought of many possibilities.
If Fang Mo’er really had an affair with someone, what should he do?
Should he let her go free, or break her wings and lock her up at home without letting her out?
Or should he kill that man?
Knowing that Fang Mo’er was trying to overshadow Bai Rong, Shi Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry. “If you want to stir up the hype, I can cooperate with you.”
Fang Mo’er spread her hands. “Forget it, I’ll just walk the right path.”
It would be fine if she did not want to be as popular as Bai Rong.
Shi Mo frowned. However, if she wanted to use him to stir things up, wasn’t that the right path?
Seeing that he was not angry anymore, Fang Mo’er heaved a sigh of relief.
When Shi Mo had walked in earlier, his gaze had been so scary, as if he could swallow her alive at any moment.
She immediately walked over and obediently sat down beside Shi Mo. In front of him, she made a public announcement to clarify that the man in the picture was not her secret lover.
The onlookers then lost their interest and immediately dispersed. So, it had only been a mistake.
“Are you saying that the other party offered a huge price to buy the rights to an adaptation of your manga?” Shi Mo asked.
Fang Mo’er nodded.
Shi Mo said, “I can offer more. You can sell it to me.”
Other than keeping it herself, who did Fang Mo’er want to sell it to? That manga was based on Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er, so naturally, Shi Mo was reluctant for the rights to be sold.
Fang Mo’er blinked.
Then, Shi Mo said, “By the way, are you willing to come back to the Shi family with me?”
“What?” Fang Mo’er asked, “Are you taking me to meet your parents?”
All along, the two of them had been in a secret marriage. Fang Mo’er had never met a single member of the Shi family.
Even when she had lived in Xiangyuan Residence, she had only been served by the servants. No relatives had ever visited.
Fang Mo’er had thought that Shi Mo did not have any family.
“Yes, my father wants to meet you,” Shi Mo said.
The news of him appearing in a variety show had shocked the entire Shi family.
Shi Mo, who had always kept a low profile and did not even appear in media interviews, had actually appeared in a variety show himself.
Many people had been secretly investigating the reason for such an unusual occurrence.
In the end, they had naturally found out about Fang Mo’er.
Shi Mo’s father had quickly found out about the fact that Fang Mo’er had been living in Xiangyuan Residence all this while.
It was impossible to hide such a matter from any of the hired help.
After finding out about it, Shi Mo’s father had asked him to bring his girlfriend home.
Fang Mo’er immediately jumped up. “Then, what should I prepare? What kind of clothes should I wear? Do your parents like traditional or fashionable clothes?”
“It’s good enough to have your presence there!” Shi Mo held her hand.
Very quickly, Fang Mo’er got into the car.
The car drove off in an unknown direction.
Shi Mo said, “My father isn’t feeling well. He has been recuperating in a quiet place for the past few days.”
They arrived at a relatively quiet courtyard.
Fang Mo’er got out of the car.
This place was similar to the situation when they had been filming ‘Life in the Country.
However, the scenery here was better and the living quarters were more modern.
Outside was a large grassland, with mountains and water in the background.
Between the mountains and water, lay a secluded mansion.
