Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Mo Liuxi put his hand on Yan Su’s waist perfunctorily.

He hadn’t 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, “Your waist has grown thick since you had the baby.”

Yan Su turned to look at his super handsome face. She couldn’t help but stomp her heel on his foot.

“Ouch!” he shouted. “Yan Su, why did you step on my foot” 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 Su’s cheeks reddened with shame. She wanted to tear his mouth open.

“Mo Liuxi, are you bothering again?” Shi Xiang furrowed his brows and said to Ling Ming, “Director Li, maybe I should switch places with Director Mo. I don’t mind standing on the side.”

“You’re the leading actor. You have a lot of fans. How can you stand on the side?” Li Ming shook his head impatiently, his jaw firmly set. He’d had it! Then he gave Mo Liuxi and Yan Su a harsh glare and said, “You two, enough! If you can’t behave yourselves, you’ll be on the next flight home.”

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, “What’s going on between you and Mo Liuxi? Why is he giving you such a hard time? Weren’t you guys…”

He didn’t finish his words. He was once so jealous of Mo Liuxi.

However, after realizing that he couldn’t 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, “We were together, but we weren’t a good match, and … it didn’t work out.”

“Was it because… That time? Some reporters took photographs of you and me together?” asked Shi Xiang after a long pause. With a pained expression, he continued, “I didn’t know my manager told you not to tell. You didn’t tell Mo Liuxi, though, did you? That’s why he misunderstood you…”

“It’s not like that,” Yan Su didn’t want him to think that way. She shook her head and said, “It was because of our personalities. We were both immature.”

“That’s true.” Shi Xiang’s deep voice was full of pity. If that thing hadn’t happened, he would have undoubtedly gathered his courage and pursued her again. “I still think that, if it was because of me, I could explain to him what happened that night…”

“Don’t reopen your wound again,” said Yan Su with a sigh.

“Su…” Shi Xiang said to her with hesitation. “When 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 I’m… disgusting?”

Yan Su was shocked. Then with a frown, she said to him, “That’s absurd. Don’t say that. I just came back to work. I want people to see my abilities, not my scandals.”

“Oh, okay.” 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, “Don’t! As people say, breaking up with someone might reveal one’s true moral quality.”

“Do I have any moral qualities? Why don’t I know about that? Moral quality is bullsh*t,” Mo Liuxi sneered.

As he prepared to rush to Yan Su, Ji Nuanyi suddenly called out, “Su, do you have any facial masks? I left home in a hurry and forgot to bring mine.”

The two girls left. Mo Liuxi stopped walking, turned, and said to Li Ming, “You’re right. I can’t be too awful.”

Li Ming didn’t know what to say. He stood there, scratching the back of his head in bewilderment.
