Chapter 1006  : My Turn on The Stage (1)

He had thought that it would scare Mo Xicheng.

However, as soon as Mo Xicheng had recovered, he gave Mo Zhi yet another merciless beating and further warned him, “If you go around carrying tales again, beware that your next beating is going to be worse.”

And that was enough to cower Mo Zhi into silence.

Although Mo Xicheng was an illegitimate son and may appear low in status to others, Mo Zhi admitted in his own heart that he indeed feared the man.

Right now, those few words from Mo Xicheng were enough to keep him from creating further trouble for Shi Nianyao.

He squinted and stared at Mo Xicheng. Then he said, “Fine. Since you insist on protecting this little tr*mp, just you wait!”

When he finished speaking, he turned and finally left.

After Mo Zhi had gone away, Shi Nianyao continued to berate the stupid man, “Good for nothing! He dares to compare himself to my male idol, who is a hundred times better than him. He only knows how to run away. And to think he even tried to threaten us! Humph!”

After she said this in her crystal clear voice, she turned to look at Mo Xicheng.

When she saw him looking back at her intently, with his deep and dark eyes, she was slightly taken aback and asked, “What- what’s the matter with you?”

Mo Xicheng continued to stare at her for a moment and, suddenly, he extended his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

He had initially been avoiding her, thinking that he wouldn’t be able to bring her any happiness given his status. Since they hadn’t started a relationship, it was fine for him not to hold her back from the happiness she deserved in life.

Furthermore, after witnessing how intimately she had interacted with the show producer, it had only made him more determined to let Shi Nianyao find someone who was better than him.

But just then…

Her words were, “… in my eyes, you can’t even hold a candle to Mo Xicheng’s toe!”

Strangely, this had struck him in the most tender spot of his heart.

That was when all the yearnings and emotions he had for the girl, which he had tried to suppress all of this time, washed over him like a tidal wave.

Mo Xicheng realized now how much he had missed her.

Besides, when Mo Zhi had tried taking her hand and dragging her away earlier on, he had realized his own nervousness and uneasiness.

He was finally sure.

He had fallen for her.

Hence, he could not stop himself from embracing the girl.

Shi Nianyao was stunned.

His scent filled her nostrils. Leaning against his chest now, she could hear the beating of his heart.

A strange sense of security came over her.

Widening her eyes in astonishment, she suddenly broke into a broad smile.

She extended her arms and circled them around his waist.

She had been feeling down all of this time, ever since he had rejected her.

During the New Year period, she had gone traveling with her parents but still, she had not been able to put him behind her.

Hence the moment she had returned to Beijing, she had packed her belongings and gone to Hengdian again.

She had really wanted to ask him if he didn’t like her even a little.

Now… she understood.

She bit her lip and grinned like a child.

They stood there in each other’s embrace for some time, until she turned scarlet and said, “Ermmm… Idol, would you release me now?”

Mo Xicheng: …?

“Your card holder, it’s been pinching me quite uncomfortably!”

Mo Xicheng: …!!

He relaxed his arms.

Shi Nianyao straightened herself. Her face was glowing radiantly and her eyes sparkled, although she averted her gaze shyly.

Clearing her throat, she started, “Well then- you- I- we- what—”

As she rambled senselessly trying to find the right words, Mo Xicheng asked, “Why did you come here?”
