Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

The audience burst into wild applause after Yan Su’s performance,

After taking a bow, she thanked the audience and looked over at Luosang with a beaming smile.

The host asked the audience to start voting. After about ten minutes, the results were in: A singer from Hong Kong was eliminated.

The group said their farewells backstage as they hugged it out before continuing with the elimination competition. Things were getting more heated with each passing week.

When the show ended, the crowd was streaming out of the theatre. Cao Haifeng, who was sitting in the front row, rolled up his sleeves, “You kicked me just now on purpose, didn’t you, you little brat? I’ve never seen anyone as cocky as you, acting as if the broadcasting station belongs to your family. I’ll let things slide if you kneel and apologize to me. If not, I’ll tear you down no matter who you are.”

“Hah! You don’t know who I am even though you work in the industry? That’s okay. I’ll make you remember today.” Mo Liuxi used his hands to jump to the front before grabbing the man’s face and pushing him toward the stage.

“Hey, what are you doing? Are you crazy?” Cao Haifeng’s friends ran to his defense.

Nian Junting stopped them just in time. “There must be a reason why my brother is beating up the guy; he’s not psychotic.”

“Ah, Mr. Nian,” the main director recognized him immediately and went to shake his hand. “I’ve heard about you for a while. This… is this Director Mo, who just won the Golden Lion awards?”

“Director Mo? He only won an award with Director Li when he took a trip to Venice with him,” Nian Junting smiled slightly.

The main director looked over at Cao Haifeng, who was crying for help, and he looked awkward. “Look, Mr. Nian… Mr. Cao is also quite renowned in the music industry.”

“Don’t worry, he won’t go overboard,” Nian Junting reassured him.

Luosang was quiet as she watched the two of them. She wondered when they had established such a good rapport with one another.

After about twenty minutes, the group walked out of the television station. Luosang turned to nag at Mo Liuxi, but he suddenly said, “I’m not going back with you guys. I’m meeting my friend from Hangzhou tonight. I’ll be spending the night there.”

Mo Jin narrowed her eyes, “Since when do you have friends from Hangzhou?”

“I have plenty of friends. You wouldn’t know their names even if I told you. I’ll make a move first.” Mo Liuxi waved goodbye and walked away.

Nian Junting smirked; he wasn’t planning on going home? Was the kid planning to stay the night?

…

Yan Su turned down the director’s invitation to supper and took the nanny van back to the hotel right away.

Jiaojiao started gossiping to her right away in the car, “Did you know that Mo Liuxi beat up Cao Haifeng after the show ended just now? He has bruises all over his face. Luckily handphones are prohibited in the station. It would be a whole lot of trouble if any of the public caught wind of this.”

“What trouble? He isn’t afraid of anything or anyone.” Yan Su sighed. “Besides, he has a film company supporting him and a bunch of people who have his back.”

“That’s true,” Jiaojiao smiled. “But it’s quite cathartic, isn’t it? Cao Haifeng has always used all sorts of excuses to take advantage of you. He’s always putting his hands on you. He’s a disgusting pervert.”

Yan Su wondered if that was one of the reasons why Mo Liuxi beat him up.

When she arrived at the hotel, he was waiting for her on the twenty-second floor. Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up immediately, “The two of you…”

“We have something to discuss. You can go back and rest first.” Yan Su patted her on her shoulders.

Jiaojiao covered her mouth with her hands as she laughed knowingly before leaving.

Yan Su walked over to Mo Liuxi. Her heart rate accelerated with every step that she took.
