Chapter 85
[It turns out Xu Meng had no idea Yang Hong was planning to propose. She was so shocked she didn't know what to say. Pei Mingxuan remained calm and asked if it was really a proposal. What if he lost?]
[Yang Hong actually replied that if he lost, he wouldn't propose, but if he won, he'd propose and boost his popularity, paving the way for his career transformation. He added that he really wanted to marry Xu Meng now. Hmm... my friend, you're being a bit too fake.]
Qin Xian: This is hard to judge. After all, there are many contractual marriages in the entertainment industry for the sake of benefits.
But now it's mostly trending actors who dominate. If they get married, regardless of gender, their popularity and resources will take a big hit, unless Yang Hong has already decided to give up being a trending star and truly transition to being a serious actor.
[Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Yang Hong's move is so outrageous. He actually sought his girlfriend's ex's blessing on the spot. Sun Mo and Xu Meng's expressions must have been priceless.]
[However, Sun Mo was a bit classless. He immediately mocked Xu Meng, saying she was vain and opportunistic, wondering how many sugar daddies had used her before Yang Hong picked her up. He said Yang Hong was a fool for wanting to marry such a shameless woman and that he should be worried about being cheated on after marriage.]
[He's lucky he didn't get punched.]
Qin Xian was reminded of the investigation materials as he listened.
Reportedly, Sun Mo used to work day and night to support Xu Meng, and even ended up in the hospital due to overwork. But Meng was pursued by a rich second-generation heir.
Perhaps defeated by reality, she abandoned her boyfriend of many years who was injured, leaving without hesitation.
This is what crushed Sun Mo, making him hate Xu Meng so much.
[But Yang Hong wasn't angry at all. He just said Xu Meng was great, as if he unconditionally trusted his girlfriend. This made Sun Mo even angrier.]
[He directly set a condition: if Xu Meng knelt before him, kowtowed and apologized, and drank a whole bottle of alcohol, he would agree to collaborate... He shouldn't be acting as an overbearing immortal lord, he should be playing an overbearing CEO. Doesn't he feel ashamed saying such things?]
Real CEO Qin Xian: ?
[Xu Meng couldn't stand the humiliation and ran out.]
[Afterwards, Pei Mingxuan scolded Sun Mo. Sun Mo found it annoying and used chest discomfort as an excuse to leave alone. Pei Mingxuan tried to stop him but twisted her ankle, so Yang Hong stayed behind to look after her.]
[Pei Mingxuan kindly persuaded him to go out and find people, but he ignored her. This Yang Hong is really carefree.]
Qin Xian: Strange, what is this person thinking?
Ji Fei was also wondering, when she heard commotion outside.
She saw Sun Mo questioning with a hoarse voice, as if suppressing his anger: "Why are you running? Are you that afraid to face me?!"
"You... get out of my way..."
Xu Meng pushed her delicate white wrists against Sun Mo's chest, but due to the apparent strength difference, it had no effect. This only angered Sun Mo more.
Sun Mo directly grabbed both of Xu Meng's hands with one hand, pinning them above her head. Xu Meng wanted to struggle but seemed to have no strength, like a soft beauty at his mercy. She could only look up, gazing at Sun Mo with pitiful, teary eyes.
[This scene might make you scream if you saw it on TV, but happening in reality, how to put it... As a bystander, it really makes your emotions as complex as a pie chart - one-third embarrassment, one-third shame, and one-third excitement.]
Qin Xian: ...You described it well. Next time, don't describe it.
Sun Mo stared back at her, stunned. Then he fiercely said: "Putting on this act again to seduce who?! You think I'll still be fooled by you?"
"I... I'm not. Sun Mo... you're... you're being unreasonable. I'm Yang Hong's girlfriend now, please let go of me."
Her voice was soft and coquettish, making Ji Fei's ears tingle. She unconsciously scratched her ear against Qin Xian's chest, but the spot wasn't quite right. Now it was Qin Xian's turn to feel tingly.
Xu Meng struggled slightly, only to be violently pinned back by Sun Mo.
"Girlfriend?!" Sun Mo seemed to grind the three words between his teeth.
"What? You really want to marry him? Are you willing to give up finding a better match? Don't you just want to marry up? Yang Hong doesn't have the background of your rich ex-boyfriend. Or have you gotten older and can't hook a better one, so you're settling?"
"Sun Mo, you bastard!" Xu Meng's tone immediately carried a sob, as if filled with endless grievances.
Sun Mo sneered: "Don't tell me you want to say you love Yang Hong? Does someone like you even understand love?"
Xu Meng burst into tears, "My business has nothing to do with you. I do love Yang Hong, I really love him..."
Sun Mo, like an enraged lion, punched the wall beside them with a loud bang.
Ji Fei: [... Doesn't that hurt?]
"Yang Hong is at the same level as me now, how could you possibly love him! Stop lying, Xu Meng!"
[...Is he trying to say that since they're at the same level, if Xu Meng can love Yang Hong, she could love him too? Why not him?]
Qin Xian listened and got the same impression. It seems he's in denial, still unable to let go of the ex-girlfriend who abandoned him.
As he spoke, Sun Mo stared intently at Xu Meng. Seeing Xu Meng open and close her mouth without speaking, only shedding tears, Sun Mo's eyes flickered.
"Xu Meng, you owe me a debt you can never repay in this lifetime. I won't let you off easy. You still want me to provide a proposal stage for you, to be your wedding dress maker? Dream on."
"Sun Mo, you..." Xu Meng stared at Sun Mo in a daze.
Sun Mo suddenly sneered: "How about you make the wedding dress for me instead? I might consider it."
"What do you mean?"
Sun Mo chuckled lightly: "I'm planning to marry Xuan too. Why don't you give the stage to me and Xuan? If so, I might consider letting you be a supporting actor. You two can offer your blessings to me and Xuan then."
Xu Meng looked at Sun Mo as if suddenly struck by a huge blow, her eyes shattered, her voice hoarse, "You... you really want to marry her? You've been single all these years, it turns out it's because you had her by your side. Those rumors were true? Sure enough... sure enough... you... don't want me anymore..."
The last part seemed like an absent-minded murmur, but the voice was just loud enough for everyone to hear.
Ji Fei: ?
Qin Xian: ?
"What did you say?!" Sun Mo suddenly became agitated, glaring fiercely.
But Xu Meng seemed to come back to her senses, her face full of panic as she said: "I didn't, I didn't say anything. You heard wrong. Let me go, I want to go back..."
Ji Fei: [... My pie chart needs to split into another piece, which is speechlessness. No, would someone really unconsciously speak their true feelings? And then panic and deny it so obviously when discovered?]
Qin Xian: I don't believe it.
But Sun Mo believed it. As Xu Meng struggled to leave, he lost control, his eyes red, grabbing her waist and forcefully kissing her. The atmosphere was just short of him saying: "Just say you want me, and I'll give you my life."
"No, mmph..."
Watching Xu Meng struggle, Ji Fei hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should intervene. Regardless of what she was thinking, forced kissing was still against a woman's will.
But the next second, Ji Fei's mouth twitched, because she saw Xu Meng's fists beating Sun Mo's shoulders gradually weaken until she had no strength left and wrapped her arms around his neck. As if following an instinct from memory, the two passionately devoured each other.
Ji Fei only watched for a few moments before a large hand covered her eyes.
[Well, I didn't want to watch anyway. But haven't these two forgotten that one has a boyfriend, and the other was just brazenly talking about marrying his manager? To put it nicely, this could be called rekindling old flames, unable to resist passion. To put it bluntly, it's...]
[By the way, what Sun Mo said must have been just to provoke people, right? Neither my Gossip System nor Gao Hao's gossip intelligence have heard anything about Pei Mingxuan and Sun Mo being a couple.]
