Chapter 1007: My Turn on The Stage (2)
Shi Nianyao blinked a couple of times and coughed before she said, “I- I came back to work as an extra! Is there a job vacancy on your crew?”
She stared at Mo Xicheng anxiously waiting for a reply.
If he showed his interest in keeping her, it would mean that he liked her.
If he didn’t ask her to stay, it would mean that he didn’t like her.
As this thought formed in her mind, Mo Xicheng replied, “We don’t need any extras.”
Shi Nianyao dropped her shoulders reflexively, as she felt immediately crushed like a beaten eggplant.
For a moment, when Mo Xicheng had told Mo Zhi she was his girlfriend, she had thought that he had accepted her.
But it had turned out to be her own imagination.
If that was the case, why had he hugged her?
Arghhh!
Looking terribly dejected, she resembled a puppy abandoned by its owner. When Mo Xicheng saw this, he had an uncontrollable urge to laugh aloud.
He extended his hand and affectionately ruffled her hair as he said, “However, it happens that my junior assistant has taken leave to return home, so I do need an assistant. I wonder if Ms. Shi might be interested?”
“…What?” Shi Nianyao was taken by surprise.
The unexpected good news made her think she was hearing things.
She looked so adorable and comical that Mo Xicheng started to laugh.
And his laughter was like flower buds that suddenly bloomed, so mesmerizing that Shi Nianyao was stunned.
When she finally recovered, she quickly said, “You’re saying that I can stay, is that right?”
He looked at the dazzled girl and nodded.
“Ahahah, I’m so happy!” she shouted as she jumped up and down excitedly.
At this point, they suddenly noticed that not far away a couple stood next to a parked sedan, looking at them.
Mo Xicheng paused.
He had almost forgotten that Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian were here to visit.
He turned towards Shi Nianyao and said, “Best Actor Shen is here and I’m inviting him to dinner. Will you join us?”
Together?
Without a second thought, she nodded.
Last time, she had only managed to have a meal with him through Qiao Lian’s help, but this time, her idol had asked her himself.
Grinning from ear-to-ear, she followed Mo Xicheng as he walked towards Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan.
Mo Xicheng nodded at them and suggested, “How about hot pot?”
Shen Liangchuan said, “I’m easy.”
Mo Xicheng made a call to inform the crew and then, without bothering to remove his makeup, they headed for dinner.
As they walked, Shi Nianyao suddenly turned to Qiao Lian and asked, “Chief Editor Lian Lian, why did you come here? Wow, it’s been a long time since I saw you!”
Qiao Lian was flabbergasted.
Had she and Shen Liangchuan been just invisible up until this moment?
She grimaced at once, realizing how frightening a woman in love could be.
Shi Nianyao dashed towards her, gave her a hug and then returned to her place next to Mo Xicheng. Every now and then, she would turn to look at him. That shining expression on her face… it was just too much to take.
Qiao Lian couldn’t bear watching her any longer and looked away.
Finally, they were seated in the hotpot restaurant with the heated hot pot before them.
As the dishes were being served, a call came in for Mo Xicheng. His expression was frosty as he said, “Yes, in the hotpot restaurant in front. You’re coming over? Ok.”
After he hung up, he turned to Shi Nianyao. “My mom’s coming.”
What? Meeting the mother-in-law already? How nerve-wracking!
And…
Five minutes later, a woman arrived at the hotpot restaurant.
The private room door was thrown open and, before everyone even managed a clear view of the woman’s face, the loud crack of a slap was heard.
