Chapter 1380: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (53)

s.h.i.+ Nianyao laughed in cold amus.e.m.e.nt at those words.

She looked at Mo Zhi for a while before she said, “Mo Zhi, I do wonder if you have the facts clear in your head.”

He paused for a moment and asked, “What?”

“Mo Xicheng never pursued me. It was me who went after him. I like him and that’s my own business, it has nothing to do with him. As for you, there’s nothing I like about you, from the tip of your hair to your toes. Between the two of you, there’s no comparison.”

Mo Zhi’s pupils shrank back immediately at those words and he jumped onto his feet, saying angrily, “s.h.i.+ Nianyao, what do you freaking mean by that?!”

She laughed icily and replied, “Just exactly what I said. In the future, please do not use these disgusting strategies to pursue me. Let me tell you one thing, you can keep dreaming if you hope that I will develop an ounce of interest in you!”

On this note, the girl strode out of the room.

Bam!

The door slammed shut as Mo Zhi froze on the spot, pale with fury.

He clenched his fists tightly, angry beyond words.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s words had pierced his heart mercilessly like a dagger, hitting him where it hurt most.

His knuckles turned white. After a moment, he took in a deep breath.

He stared at the doorway with a dark and vicious expression in his eyes.

The one thing that he hated the most in his life was to be compared to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. And now s.h.i.+ Nianyao had not only done that, she had claimed that he wasn’t as good as Mo Xicheng.

In what way was he not as good?

What appeal did that small-time actor have?

s.h.i.+ Nianyao. s.h.i.+ Nianyao! He was determined to win her over.

Whatever it took!

–

By the time Mo Xicheng arrived at the hospital, Yao Lili was still on the phone with him.

She only hung up the phone when she saw him come in through the entrance. He saw her sitting up on the bed and walked towards her.

He sighed in relief and was about to pick up the cell phone to text s.h.i.+ Nianyao, when Yao Lili grabbed his hand. Then she quickly said, “Xicheng, you’re finally here. I was almost dead of fear. What’s happening to me? Why did I black out all of a sudden?”

She repeated all over again what she had said on the phone.

Mo Xicheng looked at her impatiently, wondering why she wasn’t tired after all that talking. He couldn’t help but give a long sigh and say, “Mom, let them run some tests first.”

Yao Lili looked at the time and made a mental note that by now, Mo Zhi should have met up with s.h.i.+ Nianyao. Given this, she nodded.

Hence, she was pushed into the equipped examination room.

Left on his own outside the room, Mo Xicheng immediately picked up his cell phone and dialed s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s phone. The line connected almost at once. He said apologetically, “Nianyao, my Mom pa.s.sed out and I’m at the hospital. I’m afraid we may have to cancel lunch plans.”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao opened her mouth to speak upon hearing this, but she swallowed her words again when she thought that being in the hospital now, he must be anxious. If she told him about Mo Zhi at this point, it would only cause him more distress. Hence the words that came out were instead, “That’s ok. We’ll meet again when you’re done.”

“Uh huh, I’ll hang up now then, Nianyao. I’ll look for you this evening.”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao nodded.

After they hung up, Mo Xicheng waited outside the examination room. Soon afterwards, his cell phone rang again. He glanced at the screen, it was his personal a.s.sistant. He quickly picked up the call. Xiao Chen’s voice immediately came through the line, “Brother Mo, something’s been bugging me and after thinking about it, I thought I should tell you. Auntie Yao called me today to ask about your schedule.”
