However, when s.h.i.+ Nianyao saw how he treated this fangirl, she suddenly felt as though she had been drenched with a bucket full of cold water.

What was she thinking?!

Mo Xicheng was well-known for being protective with all of his fans. He was nice, not just with her alone, but with all his other fans as well.

Hence, what fantasies was she feeding?

They had seen each other only a few times. How could Mo Xicheng possibly be interested in her?

As she stood there in a daze, Mo Xicheng straightened up and had already signed an autograph. He returned the notebook to the fangirl.

As she looked excitedly at Mo Xicheng, she now noticed the lady next to him.

The fangirl immediately expressed her surprise. “Idol Mo, is this person your a.s.sistant?

s.h.i.+ Nianyao turned to look at him upon hearing this question.

She saw Mo Xicheng reaching out for her hand. He held it and said to the fangirl, “No, she’s my girlfriend.”

–

s.h.i.+ Nianyao felt as though she was walking on a giant wad of cotton wool.

Even after walking a long way, she was still in the clouds.

She looked down at the pair of hands clasped together and then looked up again, at Mo Xicheng.

What had he just said?

That she was his girlfriend?

Even though she knew it was just a beautiful lie, in that moment, she had felt so blissful that she almost died.

Even if she could only be Mo Xicheng’s girlfriend just for a day, she would be most willing.

She looked down again, her cheeks burning.

She looked at the pair of hands again.

He had grabbed her hand to put up a show in front of the fangirl earlier on. But now the fangirl was gone… and Mo Xicheng was still holding her hand.

The same moment this thought came to her mind, Mo Xicheng let her hand go.

The instant his warm and large hand released hers, she realized something in her felt empty.

It made her start thinking about personal gains and losses.

As she began to contemplate this, she heard Mo Xicheng say, “We’re here.”

“What?”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao looked up and realized that they had arrived at her hotel.

Still dazed, she pointed at the hotel entrance, then turned towards Mo Xicheng and nodded. She made a casual invitation, “Would you like to come up for a while?”

As soon as she said this, she wished she had just kept her mouth shut.

It was late and they both were alone—who didn’t know that it was a suggestion for trouble? To think that she had invited him to her hotel room… Would he misunderstand it and think that she was trying to have more with him?

As this thought struck her, he said, “No, it’s late. I’ll be on my way.”

Her mind went blank as she waved at him, saying, “Oh, in that case, bye.”

“Goodbye.”

His deep voice melted her heart.

After exchanging goodbyes, both of them stood there without moving.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao said, “Why don’t you go first?”

He shook his head. “You go first.”

She paused and then replied, “Well then, I’ll go in now?”

He nodded.

She turned to leave, but turned around again after taking a step. She waved at him again.

She was the exact image of a little wife who could not bear to leave her man.

Mo Xicheng was stunned when he found himself having those thoughts.

Why had he had that thought out of the blue?

He shook his head and turned to walk away.

–

Now he was back in his hotel. As he approached his room, he realized that the room door was ajar.

Frowning, he went forward to have a closer look. Then, he saw Qiao Yiyi standing at the doorway, instructing a few people to pack up the room.

His expression darkened as he said, “Ms. Qiao, if my memory serves me right, this is my room?”

Qiao Yiyi laughed icily and replied, “You remember right. But now this one, the best room in the hotel, is mine!”
