Chapter 1456: He Is My Son (29)

Immediately, the manager replied, “Yes, he will be there.”

Mo Xicheng lowered his gaze and turned back to glance at s.h.i.+ Nianyao. He recalled how she had been gritting her teeth and looking at her cell phone when he had brought her the sugar water. Finally, he spoke, “I’ll be there then.”

The manager nodded and said, “Sure, but this will be your first time making an appearance at a press conference. We are thinking of creating a small surprise to generate some news, so let’s not announce it.”

Mo Xicheng nodded in agreement and replied, “Sure, I’ll leave it in your good hands.”

The manager said, “Alright, that’s what we’ll do then.”

After he hung, Mo Xicheng turned around again to look at s.h.i.+ Nianyao. She had slumped back in the sofa, feeling drowsy.

Remembering she was feeling unwell today, Mo Xicheng quickly extended his arms and lifted her off the sofa.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao got a fright as she felt the room spin and then realized that she was being carried upstairs. She asked nervously, “What are you doing?”

Mo Xicheng: …

He halted and lowered his gaze, giving the girl a look that was at once helpless and full of grievance. “What else do you think I could be doing?”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …

She took one look at Mo Xicheng and suddenly felt like laughing out loud.

When she had first seen her idol on the big screen, he had been playing rather good roles. But since she had met him in person, she had realized that he was quite a melancholic and gloomy person.

Just like the look he had on his face now. She found it so adorable that her heart completely melted.

As she lowered her head and her shoulders shook with laughter, she realized she was seeing another side of her male idol.

Mo Xicheng had no idea what was going through s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s mind as he carried her upstairs to the bedroom. After he had put her down on the bed, he picked up the blanket and threw it over her.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao lay in bed obediently with her hands clutching the corners of the blanket.

Mo Xicheng paused and then reached under the blanket to stroke her stomach. Unlike him, his hand was full of warmth and gave a great sense of security.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao was in fact not feeling exceptionally unwell, but seeing that her idol was in such a rare moment of complaisance, she couldn’t help but indulge in it by acting like a spoiled child.

At home, she had always been dotted on.

Her elder brother had doted on her, her cousin brothers had doted on her, and her parents had doted on her.

But it felt different to have Mo Xicheng doting on her now.

She felt an amazing joy that could not be described with words.

Yao Lili moved into the Mo family home, into the room that the butler had prepared for her.

Lying back on the bed of the guest room, she stared at the ceiling.

In the Mo family home, even the guest room was like a small apartment.

Although it was not as s.p.a.cious as having a small villa to herself, it was well-equipped with whatever she needed.

However, she felt bored being alone here. As she contemplated this, she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine coming from outside. Immediately, the butler exclaimed, “Yong Master is home!”

Yao Lili’s eyes lit up as she sprang up from the bed and dashed to the doorway. Then she saw Mo Zhi walking into the house.

Mo Zhi had asked for a discharge seeing that even pretending to be sick did nothing to soften Li Shu’s heart.

He walked in with his head low, but suddenly he lifted his gaze as though he had realized something. As he did that, he spotted Yao Lili standing there before him.
