By analyzing the manâs 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 wasnât as nervous as he was now.
So why was the man so nervous? They were heading to Mo Liâs 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 didnât 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 Congâs 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 Liâs 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 didnât seem to notice Luo Cong this time, why was that?
When he saw Mo Li, Luo Congâs eyes darkened and uncontrollable anger burned in his eyes. However, he quickly suppressed it. Regardless, Mo Li had captured all that. âYouâre finally home. Iâve waited so long, this is for you.â
Luo Cong took out a small box, it seemed to contain some cakes. âI remember you used to like them when you were young. I wonder if you still like them now.â
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.
âThank you but I have stopped taking sweets.â Mo Li didnât take the bag, as rude as it was.
âIâve been standing here for so long already, arenât you going to invite me in?â
Mo Li took a deep breath. If not to hook the big fish behind this man, she wouldnât waste time with him. She was tired from a whole day of shooting already.
âItâs already too late and my parents wonât allow me to let you in after midnight. I believe the driver is still working, Iâll have him drive you home instead.â Mo Li waved at the guard. âArrange a ride for Young Master Luo.â
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. âYoung Master Cong, can you give me your house address?â
Luo Cong crawled into the car with anger. He threw the bag at the driver. âConsider this a reward from me. Just drop me off at the city!â
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 Moâs heart? Laughable!
â¦
Once she was in her room, Mo Li switched on her phone. Ah Ao had sent her a full report.
âMiss Mo Li, today Xiao Yue was seen with Lu Ke at Mu Ai Cafe. We couldnât 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.â
Mo Li pondered to herself. After the incident, Xiao Yue is forcibly engaged to Chen Shuo. If she has truly settled down, she wouldnât have to meet with Lu Ke.
Mo Li glanced at the messages from Quan Yu.?Itâs 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.
âSome people would even stoop down to stealing jobs from a dead person, how unscrupulousâ¦.â The second female lead, Yang Liu said when Li Min walked past her.
âWhat is it that youâre trying to say?â
âWhat do you think? Qi Yan was unlucky to lose her life and job, you were lucky to grab her slim pickings.â
âYouâre wrong. I got this job due to my capability and talent.â
Yang Liu laughed and looked at Li Min. âTalent? Donât be silly. If not for Han Shang, you wouldnât be standing here today.â
âThatâs 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.â
The tension was high when suddenly Yang Liu sighed, âYouâre right. Iâm nothing more than a pretty faceâ¦. Just like you, wouldnât you say?â
â¦
Han Shang sat at the set, waiting for Li Min. His hands flipped through some set of files.
âBoss, the target has arrived and is chatting with Jin Chuan.â
