“Alright, you guys can chat. I’ll go to the washroom.” Mo Rao had drunk a few glasses of wine and was a little uncomfortable, so she stood up and left.
Fu Ying’s gaze was fixed on that beautiful back view, and emotions surged in his eyes.
When Jia Li saw this scene, he marveled that this insufferably arrogant man finally had an Achilles’ heel.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know how to cherish it in the past.
Among all of Fu Ying’s friends, Jia Li was the only one who didn’t like Qu Ru back then. Instead, he felt that Fu Ying and Mo Rao would develop feelings for each other over time.
Now, it seemed that his judgment was very accurate.
“How long will you be back this time?” Fu Ying waited for Mo Rao to completely disappear before retracting his gaze and asking Jia Li.
Because Jia Li was sitting too close to Mo Rao just now, his good mood when he came had been diminished. His tone towards his good friend had become a little cold.
Jia Li suppressed his laughter and deliberately said, “I don’t know. Let’s see how it goes. I’m already so old, so my family is pressing me to get married. If I meet a suitable woman, I’ll get married.”
“A suitable woman?” Fu Ying frowned.
“That’s right. You also know that I’m a director. It’s very likely that the wife I’ll find in the future will be a woman from the entertainment industry. It’s very likely that she’ll be a female celebrity or something. What do you think of Miss Mo? I like her!” Jia Li boldly provoked Fu Ying.
Qu You was shocked. Was Jia Li put of his mind?
Everyone knew that Fu Ying was very possessive!
As expected, Fu Ying’s expression became terrifyingly gloomy. “Are you serious?”
Jia Li could date anyone he wanted, but he couldn’t date Mo Rao. Mo Rao could only be his.
Seeing that Fu Ying took it seriously, Jia Li knew that he had to stop joking. He could tell that Mo Rao was too important to Fu Ying. She was so important that Fu Ying couldn’t accept even a casual joke about her. If he continued to court death, he might lose Fu Ying as a friend.
“I’m just joking!” Jia Li quickly explained, “I’m not in the mood to date or get married now. You know, my greatest wish is to film a movie that will shock everyone!”
“Didn’t you already film one?” Fu Ying’s expression softened.
“That doesn’t count. That movie’s style is too foreign. I’m going to film a movie that will cause a sensation in the country this time!” Jia Li was very ambitious.
Fu Ying asked, “What type?”
“Like a documentary,” Jia Li replied.
The two of them were chatting when Mo Rao returned. She glanced at Fu Ying and Jia Li and finally chose to sit beside Qu You.
Jia Li’s pitied Fu Ying. Mo Rao was clearly avoiding him.
Fu Ying’s gaze was so piercing that Qu You felt uncomfortable sitting with Mo Rao, but Qu You couldn’t chase Mo Rao away and could only endure it.
“Do you need an actress to play the female lead?” Fu Ying suddenly asked Jia Li.
“I haven’t chosen yet. What about it?” Jia Li was a little surprised.
“I’ll recommend someone to you. If you use her, I’ll invest and cover everything,” Fu Ying said calmly. “It’s fine even if the movie ends up losing money. I don’t care about the box office sales.”
Jia Li’s eyes widened. “Are you for real? Tell me who you recommend. She has to be compatible with my female lead’s persona.”
Fu Ying looked at Mo Rao and pointed at her. “Mo Rao.”
When Mo Rao was suddenly pointed at and heard that Fu Ying wanted her to be the female lead, she was shocked.
“So it’s her!” Jia Li revealed a mischievous smile. “I understand. I think Miss Mo is quite malleable and should be suitable for my female lead. However, you have to see if she agrees. Not everyone believes in me. Why don’t you persuade her? I’ll wait for your good news, President Fu.”
Fu Ying looked at Jia Li in disdain. He had to talk to the female lead himself even after offering to sponsor everything. Jia Li was really an old fox.
“Mo Rao, what do you think?” Fu Ying asked directly. He didn’t want to beat around the bush anymore.
Mo Rao wanted to act in a movie directed by Jia Li, but now that she knew that Fu Ying wanted to sponsor her, she suddenly gave up on it. This was because she would be even more involved with Fu Ying and things would become more and more troublesome in the future.
She shook her head. “I think I’ll pass. I want to rest for a while.”
“It’s okay. Filming won’t start for another month. You can read the script first,” Jia Li quickly said.
Mo Rao was speechless and a little embarrassed. “I don’t think I’m suitable. Director Jia, it’s better if you find someone else.”
