Ning Shu never thought that Mai Douer would actually take the initiative to ask Mo Juefeng for a role. It was completely different from how selfless she had been in the original storyline.
Giving someone something of your own initiative versus having someone request something of you was completely different. Ning Shu shook her head. Mo Juefeng and Mai Douer’s relationship probably wouldn’t last at this rate.
Mo Juefeng liked women who were pure and didn’t know the world well because he’d feel the desire to protect that fragile pureness. However, Mai Douer no longer had any trace of that aura left. All she cared about now was glory and success.
Mai Douer had probably been dead to Mo Juefeng the moment she asked him for a role.
“It’s fine. I’ve told you before that this was what the crown prince was like. He only likes novelty, so you have to be well-prepared. This role is very nice.”
Mai Douer smiled bitterly, then her tears started crashing down. As she sobbed, she said, “Big Sis Chen, I don’t want to break up with Mo Juefeng! I’ve fallen in love with him! I can’t bear being apart from him.”
They barely saw each other most of the time, but now she was being treated as a psychological trash can. Ning Shu was expressionless. What they wanted to do had nothing to do with her.
Mai Douer’s makeup was smudging due to her tears, so she had no choice but to stop crying and redo her makeup. In all honesty, it was seriously ugly to cry with heavy makeup on. It was nowhere near as touching of a scene as when a person without makeup cried. There was no sense of that dew on hibiscus feeling at all.
Mai Douer was completely wrecking her own advantage. Ning Shu couldn’t help but feel tempted to worry for Mai Douer. Mai Douer couldn’t see the bigger picture since she had fallen in head over heels love with Mo Juefeng. She was doing everything she could think of to stay at Mo Juefeng’s side but the things she did would only make Mo Juefeng even more fed up with her.
Ning Shu watched as Mai Douer colored her lips completely red before grabbing her brand name bag and stepping out of the car gracefully.
Ning Shu shook her head. The drawn tiger ended up only looking like a dog.
She waited until Mai Douer’s day of filming ended. Mai Douer then got into the car, exhausted.
As Ning Shu started the car, she asked, “Should I stop over there? Will Mo Juefeng be coming to pick you up?”
Mai Douer shook her head. “I’m not going to the villa and he won’t be picking me up either. I want to go back to the apartment.”
Ning Shu nodded and started heading back to the apartments. Mai Douer looked very depressed and hurt, so it seemed that these two really didn’t have a future.
The moment they got to the apartments, Mai Douer went to shower, then headed to her bedroom to sleep. Ning Shu could hear the sound of Mai Douer’s suppressed sobs from outside the room.
She didn’t go inside to comfort her.
Her task would probably be complete soon. Even though Mai Douer was now Mo Juefeng’s lover, they weren’t as close and Mo Juefeng didn’t cherish and dote on Mai Douer like he did in the original storyline.
Ning Shu stayed overnight in the apartment. Early the next morning, she saw Mai Douer rush out of her bedroom with a hand over her mouth to run towards the restroom. Following that, there was the sound of vomiting.
Ning Shu lifted her brows. This omen…
Mai Douer was pregnant!??
Ning Shu waited near the restroom for Mai Douer to come out. Mai Douer’s face was pale and she had to lean on the wall to stand.
Ning Shu became even more certain of her guess and she asked, “Are you pregnant?”
“T-that’s not possible…” Mai Douer’s face was filled with fear and she collapsed weakly to the ground.
Ning Shu then asked, “You guys didn’t use any protective measures?”
Mai Douer’s face paled even more. There was no trace of joy at having become a mother, all that was present in her expression was fear.
Mai Douer was bewildered and on the brink of panicking, but when she saw how unperturbed Ning Shu was, her heart also calmed down. She asked, “Big Sis Chen, what should I do? What do I do?”
Ning Shu asked calmly, “What are your feelings?”
