Chapter 578 - He’s Here! (18)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mo Xicheng had always been a rather slack person.

He had seen all sorts of people during his years in the entertainment industry.

Thanks to it, he had also developed a considerably resilient personality.

He had an ability to ignore all sorts of sarcastic and snide remarks, hence these never really provoked any anger or reaction in him.

Who he was defined his fate. He wasn’t destined for great fame or popularity.

He enjoyed his own passions quietly, living in the shadows. This was his life.

Hence, when he saw that Qiao Yiyi was about to hit Shi Nianyao, his first reaction had been to protect the latter and not to retaliate.

However, Shi Nianyao’s response came as quite a shock to him.

He had put Qiao Yiyi under control, yet Shi Nianyao had nicely and smoothly followed through with a slap. This had been absolute... poetry in motion!

Very quickly, he snapped out of his shock and narrowed his eyes. He turned towards Qiao Yiyi and said, “Ms. Qiao, you ought to be kind with your words.”

With those words, he diverted all of Qiao Yiyi’s fury towards himself to shield Shi Nianyao.

As though he had been the one who hit her.

However, Shi Nianyao came out from behind the man again and wielded her fist at Qiao Yiyi, sneering, “This time it’s just a slap. The next time I’ll make sure you end up looking for your teeth among the dirt on the ground!”

“This idiot,” thought Mo Xicheng, “does not know the meaning of fear.”

Qiao Yiyi had been sent by an investor and because of this, she was the “boss” in the filming set now.

Mo Xicheng quickly released his grip on her wrist and instead pulled Shi Nianyao behind him, as he headed out of the venue.

While Shi Nianyao tottered behind him, she looked back and continued, “I’ll let you off this time! I’m warning you, the next time you see me, you’d better take a different route!”

Mo Xicheng was flabbergasted.

Qiao Yiyi stamped her foot with fury and shouted, “How dare you gang up against me?! Mo Xicheng, you’d better believe it! A word from me and you’ll be replaced!! Who do you think you are?”

As she shouted, someone suddenly exclaimed, “The investor is coming this way!”

Immediately, Qiao Yiyi wiped the exasperated and flustered look off and, patting her face, hurried towards the investor.

That fiery red mark the stinging slap had left was good evidence.

Hurriedly, Mo Xicheng dragged Shi Nianyao along as he headed out of the filming location.

He was worried that Qiao Yiyi would return to seek revenge on Shi Nianyao.

He glanced at Shi Nianyao and sighed, saying, “You can’t continue to stay in this cast.”

Puzzled, Shi Nianyao asked, “Why?”

Mo Xicheng was flabbergasted.

This girl in front of him was really naive.

Putting on a fierce and malicious expression, he chided her, “Are you aware that you’ve just offended Qiao Yiyi? Even I will have a hard time in the filming crew from now on!”

His words stunned Shi Nianyao.

She had thought that, like her, Mo Xicheng wouldn’t be at disadvantageous situation.

But now... it seemed that her male idol had turned his back on her?

He had turned his back on her thinking she had caused him trouble?

She bit her lip and widened her eyes, hurt.

Avoiding her gaze, Mo Xicheng said straightaway, “I think you should go. I don’t wish to see you right now.”

Then he turned around, ready to walk away.

However, just as he was about to leave, he felt a small soft hand hold his.

He paused. When he turned around, he saw Shi Nianyao staring at him, asking, “Are you afraid that Qiao Yiyi will seek revenge? Is that why you’re asking me to go? But if I go, she will surely target all her fury on you!”

Her words took Mo Xicheng by surprise.

This girl was very thorough in her thinking!

Before he could even say another word, she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not afraid.”
