Turning towards Mo Zhi, he asked, “I just remembered. Isn’t Yao Lili here too?”
With his eyes glinting, Mo Zhi confirmed, “Yes, she’s here.”
Mr. Mo nodded and told Mo Zhi, “Get her on the phone for me.”
The moment the line connected, Yao Lili’s delicate and sweet voice could be heard, “Mr. Mo, what’s up?”
Mr. Mo creased his brow and started, “Mo Xicheng was brought up in the Mo family. He is not to make his own decisions about marriage! Before I came, I found him a girl... the young lady will be here tomorrow. When the time comes, you will bring the girl to him. This is a strategic union, do you understand?”
Yao Lili said at once, “Of course I understand. Don’t worry, I know what to do. Since he’s a part of the Mo family, he should contribute his part. So don’t worry, he will not defy your wishes.”
Mr. Mo nodded and grunted, “Uh huh.”
After leaving the hotpot restaurant, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan returned to the hotel in the car.
To the filming crew, everyone else was only part of the supporting cast. The female and male leads were Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan.
Hence, according to the usual practice, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan would stay on the highest level, apart from the rest of the cast.
They went upstairs together and Qiao Lian walked towards her assigned room.
However, just as she was about to swipe her card key, she heard a chime.
She turned around and saw that Shen Liangchuan had used the card key he was holding to open her room door.
Qiao Lian frowned and demanded, “Why are you trailing me to my room?”
Shen Liangchuan raised an eyebrow and replied, “This you may have to ask the filming crew, because this is my room too.”
Qiao Lian was speechless.
So just how much help was the crew offering exactly to Shen Liangchuan so that he could sleep with a female celebrity?!
How was she going to kick the guy out?
Or would she have to go to the extent of booking another room?
As she was contemplating this, Shen Liangchuan spoke, “I received a call from the Beijing Hospital today. Nuannuan, she—”
Qiao Lian turned to look at him anxiously. “How is Nuannuan?”
Lowering his gaze, he said, “Let’s talk inside.”
Even though knowing this was a ploy, she walked into the room anyway, as she was worried about Xia Nuannuan’s condition.
Once inside the room, she looked at Shen Liangchuan and said, “Hurry up and tell me, how is Nuannuan?”
“Nuannuan hasn’t woken up. Other than that, everything’s ok.”
Qiao Lian was speechless.
She stared at the room door and then heard Shen Liangchuan say, “Go and take a shower. You smell like hotpot.”
Qiao Lian immediately lowered her head and raised her arm to sniff at her shirt sleeve.
Of course one would smell like hotpot having sat in a hotpot restaurant.
She frowned as she picked up her towel and headed into the restroom.
After she entered it, she suddenly realized: why would she have to shower in this place?!
What a complete silly brain!
She wasn’t thinking straight!
Qiao Lian told herself that even if they were sharing the room, she must not get intimate with him. She was carrying a baby and had to be a responsible mother.
Sitting in the hotel room, Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened as he stared at the vague and moving silhouette in the bath.
At this point, the doorbell sounded. This was followed by Prince’s voice yelling, “Love Chuan, are you there? I’ve got something to discuss with you.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Liangchuan shot up from his seat and walked to the door. He opened the door and said, “You can tell me, I’ll pass the message on to her. She’s taking a shower now.”
