My hands slipped by accident.â Xu Zhengxuan was moaning in pain when she grabbed his wrist.
Mo Jin threw a pillow in his face; guys were shameless, whatever their age.
At that very moment, Mo Liuxi came in carrying several shopping bags.
Mo Jin finally let go of Xu Zhengxuan and walked over to him. âWhatâs in the bags? Clothes?
âYeah.â Mo Liuxi was changing out of his shoes. âIâm flying to Italy for Milan Fashion Week.â
âWhy donât you just shop in Milan?â Mo Jin asked. âMenâs fashions are a lot nicer there. Youâre going to the film festival, arenât you? You should wear the latest designs. The company isnât sponsoring anything?â
âThe sponsored clothes were sent to Italy. I need an airport outfit for tomorrow,â said Mo Liuxi casually.
Xu Zhengxuan gave him a look and said, âYou bought so much just for tomorrow? Is that really necessary?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes.â Mo Liuxi brought his purchases upstairs.
After a while, he asked for Mo Jinâs opinion, âWhat do you think about this suit?â
âItâs okay.â Mo Jinâs expression was a bit weird now too.
After trying on a dozen outfits or so, he asked again, âWhich ones do you think look best on me?â
Mo Jin was trying to suppress a giggle. It was the first time sheâd seen him so preoccupied with his appearance. Heâd never been particularly concerned about his style or clothes before. âAre you meeting someone important tomorrow?â
âNo.â
âSomeone who abandoned you...â
â...â
Mo Liuxi was tight-lipped. Grimacing, he said, âDonât spout nonsense. I just heard there are going to be a lot of reporters at the airport.â
âGo for the army green one then,â Mo Jin said casually. She couldnât be bothered to expose him. Her son was a grown man. It was normal for him to act this way in front of someone he liked.
Mo Liuxi picked up the army green set and looked at himself in the mirror, nodding approvingly. âYeah. The outfitâs banginâ.â
He knew he would probably be seeing Yan Su again the next day. Although he had no plans of reconciling with her, not ever, he had to let her know he was doing fine without her. And he was even better looking now, too.
He was going to let her know sheâd made a grave mistake, the stupidest decision of her life.
As for Shi Xiang, he had to outshine him in every way and at every moment.
Mo Jin stared at her son from the side. She noticed his expression turning darker and felt a little intimidated by this.
...
Ten oâclock at the airport.
Mo Liuxi met up with Li Ming after crossing the checkpoint.
The VIP lounge was filled with people from the production team. A bunch of them had worked hard for four months shooting the film. Naturally, they had all gotten a lot closer after spending so much time together.
Everyone was thrilled to be going to Venice for five days.
When Mo Liuxi sauntered into the lounge, everyone was eager to greet him. The co-director, Lu Tao, said teasingly, âGreat outfit. I get it that you want to look good. We donât mind but give some consideration to the male actors. Youâre stealing their thunder.â
âI thought you said to dress formally?â Mo Liuxi looked around the table and asked casually, âNot everyone is here yet, right? Whereâs Ji Nuanyi and Shi Xiang?â âTheyâre the A-list celebrities. Iâm sure they have a busy schedule,â Lu Tao said. âWeâll be heading over first. Theyâll meet us in Venice tomorrow.â
Mo Liuxi scowled.
Lu Tao felt a chill run down his spine. He couldnât help but recall the various unpleasant incidents between Mo Liuxi and Shi Xiang during filming.
âLu, come on. Letâs get ready to board.â Li Ming walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
