Mo Liuxi put his hand on Yan Suâs waist perfunctorily.
He hadnât held her this way in such a long time. She felt so awkward her body grew stiff.
About ten seconds later, he bent slightly and whispered in her ear, âYour waist has grown thick since you had the baby.â
Yan Su turned to look at his super handsome face. She couldnât help but stomp her heel on his foot.
âOuch!â he shouted. âYan Su, why did you step on my footâ It was apparent he was exaggerating things to get attention and make her look bad.
The others immediately turned to the two of them. Yan Suâs cheeks reddened with shame. She wanted to tear his mouth open.
âMo Liuxi, are you bothering again?â Shi Xiang furrowed his brows and said to Ling Ming, âDirector Li, maybe I should switch places with Director Mo. I donât mind standing on the side.â
âYouâre the leading actor. You have a lot of fans. How can you stand on the side?â Li Ming shook his head impatiently, his jaw firmly set. Heâd had it! Then he gave Mo Liuxi and Yan Su a harsh glare and said, âYou two, enough! If you canât behave yourselves, youâll be on the next flight home.â
Yan Su fell silent. Standing beside her, Mo Liuxi curved his lips in a perky smile.
...
The rehearsal lasted about 20 minutes. Li Ming went over all the details again and promptly ended the meeting.
Yan Su walked out of the room, and Shi Xiang ran ahead to catch up with her. In a low voice, he said, âWhatâs going on between you and Mo Liuxi? Why is he giving you such a hard time? Werenât you guys...â
He didnât finish his words. He was once so jealous of Mo Liuxi.
However, after realizing that he couldnât make Yan Su happy, he sincerely wished her to have a good life with Mo Liuxi.
But now, her relationship with Mo Lixi seemed to have ended badly.
Yan Su rubbed her temples and said, âWe were together, but we werenât a good match, and ... it didnât work out.â
âWas it because... That time? Some reporters took photographs of you and me together?â asked Shi Xiang after a long pause. With a pained expression, he continued, âI didnât know my manager told you not to tell. You didnât tell Mo Liuxi, though, did you? Thatâs why he misunderstood you...â
âItâs not like that,â Yan Su didnât want him to think that way. She shook her head and said, âIt was because of our personalities. We were both immature.â
âThatâs true.â Shi Xiangâs deep voice was full of pity. If that thing hadnât happened, he would have undoubtedly gathered his courage and pursued her again. âI still think that, if it was because of me, I could explain to him what happened that night...â
âDonât reopen your wound again,â said Yan Su with a sigh.
âSu...â Shi Xiang said to her with hesitation. âWhen we were at the restaurant, you choose not to sit with me. Apart from not wanting the reporters to take any photos of us, was it because you felt feel that Iâm... disgusting?â
Yan Su was shocked. Then with a frown, she said to him, âThatâs absurd. Donât say that. I just came back to work. I want people to see my abilities, not my scandals.â
âOh, okay.â Shi Xiang was relieved. Looking at her, he finally broke into a beautiful smile.
...
Watching the two of them, Mo Liuxi felt as if his eyes were aching.
Seeing this and sensing trouble, Li Ming dragged him away and discreetly reminded him in a low voice, âDonât! As people say, breaking up with someone might reveal oneâs true moral quality.â
âDo I have any moral qualities? Why donât I know about that? Moral quality is bullsh*t,â Mo Liuxi sneered.
As he prepared to rush to Yan Su, Ji Nuanyi suddenly called out, âSu, do you have any facial masks? I left home in a hurry and forgot to bring mine.â
The two girls left. Mo Liuxi stopped walking, turned, and said to Li Ming, âYouâre right. I canât be too awful.â
Li Ming didnât know what to say. He stood there, scratching the back of his head in bewilderment.
