After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 24.1

Li Sheng looked as if she were completing a task and replenishing energy, while the two people sitting opposite her, one big and one small, were already eating happily and smiling nonstop.

Watching them, Li Sheng also felt her appetite increase a little.

Ranran used a spoon to bring some food to Li Sheng, then arranged some for Mo Yueshuang as well. She even propped her little elbows on the table, held up her little chin, and stared solemnly at Li Sheng and Mo Yueshuang.

“You’re not allowed to be picky eaters.”

Li Sheng smiled and ate the vegetables Ranran had brought her in one bite.

Mo Yueshuang did not fall behind either. She copied Li Sheng and ate a big mouthful. The two adults’ non-picky behavior pleased Little Supervisor Ranran very well. She clapped her hands and laughed. “Mommy and Auntie Mo are both amazing adults.”

Li Sheng saw that there was soup on the corners of Ranran’s mouth and on her chin, so she could not help taking a tissue and wiping it away for her.

She had just put the tissue down when she saw Mo Yueshuang turn her head, and there was soup on the corner of her mouth too, just like Ranran. Li Sheng could not help laughing. Seeing Mo Yueshuang looking at her, she casually pointed at the corner of her own mouth, signaling that Mo Yueshuang had soup there.

Mo Yueshuang froze when she saw it. In her slight panic, she pulled out a tissue and leaned forward to wipe Li Sheng’s clean mouth corner.

Li Sheng was left completely dumbfounded by her baffling move. She blinked and did not expose the fact that Mo Yueshuang had misunderstood. She could only accept her fate and help wipe the corner of Mo Yueshuang’s mouth too.

Only then did Mo Yueshuang realize that she had misunderstood just now. That was true. How could Li Sheng inexplicably want her to wipe her mouth? It was simply fantasy.

Because of her own misunderstanding, Mo Yueshuang felt ashamed. She lowered her head and continued eating by herself for a while, avoiding raising her head and seeing Li Sheng’s cold, desireless face.

Li Sheng had done this out of helplessness, but unfortunately, from the moment they entered the shop until now, there was a table of Mo Yueshuang’s true fans in the corner who had been watching them. Now, seeing the three of them wipe one another’s mouths as if there were no distinctions between them, those fans were practically stimulated face-to-face until their blood surged.

—“That’s not Shuangshuang, right?! Ahhh, it definitely isn’t!”

—“Oh my god, looking like Mo Yueshuang is one thing, but she’s even this flirtatious. I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to ask for her WeChat.”

—“How is she flirtatious? She looks like a seductive bottom. Wait for me, I’m going too.”

Li Sheng was planning to leave, but before she could even stand up from her chair, she was stopped.

“Do you need something?” Li Sheng had long noticed that they had been staring at this side. They must have recognized Mo Yueshuang, or at least suspected it. Now that they saw them about to leave, they had probably come over to try their luck with the thought that they would rather make a mistake than let the chance pass.

Sure enough, she saw them say to Mo Yueshuang, “Goddess, I’m your fan. Can you give me an autograph?”

The movement was small, but it could not withstand the fact that the people gathered together were all handsome men and beautiful women. When several eye-catching people stood together, even the smallest movement drew attention.

They had thought Mo Yueshuang would agree, quickly sign something, and then leave. But what happened was that they saw Mo Yueshuang calmly take out her mask and put it back on. Then she said in a muffled voice, “Sorry, did you mistake me for someone else? And may I ask, who is your idol?”

“Mo Yueshuang!” the few people gathered there said in unison.

Mo Yueshuang casually picked up her bag and nodded slightly. “Oh, her. I know a little about her. She’s the actress from Phoenix Reigns, right? I watched that movie last night. I didn’t expect I’d be mistaken for her while coming out to eat today.”

After saying this, she smiled again and lowered her head as if examining herself. “Do I really look like her? No one has ever said I look like a celebrity before.”

The few people who had come over were somewhat embarrassed. Seeing this woman’s attitude, they had probably really mistaken her for someone else.

Thinking about it, that made sense. Their goddess should be filming right now. And it was Director Wen’s production, where rumor had it that being late or leaving early could cost you your life. No matter how big their goddess’s status was or how bold she was, she would not dare openly skip work.

“Sorry, we recognized the wrong person. From behind, your temperament really looked too similar.”

The few fans apologized sincerely and stepped aside to make way.

The people who had been looking this way from afar vaguely heard that it seemed to be a case of mistaken identity. They smiled and stopped staring.

Mo Yueshuang’s smile hesitated for a moment. Fortunately, she was wearing both sunglasses and a mask now, so no one noticed that something was wrong with her.

Mo Yueshuang was led out of the shop by Li Sheng. After getting into the car, Mo Yueshuang took off her mask, her face filled with embarrassment.

Those people really were something. Couldn’t they have simply said they had mistaken her for someone else? Why did they have to say that even without looking at her face, they felt her temperament was similar?

Li Sheng gripped the steering wheel with both hands and could not help pressing her lips together, sealing her laughter inside herself.

“All right, laugh if you want to.” Seeing Li Sheng holding back her laughter until her fair and delicate face turned red, Mo Yueshuang looked at this cold, restrained beauty stained with a touch of worldly warmth, and it was even the captivating kind of worldly warmth. Mo Yueshuang looked a few more times and could not help feeling an odd itch in her heart.

Li Sheng knew Mo Yueshuang was not angry, but to prevent Mo Yueshuang from becoming unhappy, she still chose to restrain her laughter.

“Sorry. I just think their judgment really was very accurate.” After Li Sheng finished speaking, she started the car and asked Mo Yueshuang casually, as if intentionally or unintentionally, “Since we’re skipping work on public funds, is there anywhere you want to go?”

“I’m fine with anywhere.” Mo Yueshuang rarely went out to have fun. Aside from work, she used all her other time to enroll in all kinds of classes to improve herself.

Just like the temperament mentioned earlier. When she first escaped from the mountain ditch, she truly had been the bumpkin people online commented about. At her first production wrap banquet, she had even been laughed at by everyone because she did not understand certain things.

She had enrolled in classes to improve her temperament. She had also worked hard to enrich herself outside of work, so that she would not be eliminated by the entertainment industry, a place that changed day by day and stood at the forefront of fashion.

In the eyes of outsiders, in front of the fans who praised her, she was undoubtedly successful.

But after meeting Li Sheng, Mo Yueshuang would always feel a sense of distance in her heart—the distance between herself and Li Sheng.

Everyone had their own temperament. Some people were gentle and refined, some were low-key and restrained, some were flamboyant and domineering. Li Sheng’s temperament was noble, cold, and elegant. A person like her, just by standing there, invisibly pulled open the distance between herself and others.

Mo Yueshuang had struggled on production crews for many years and always felt as if she were living in other people’s worlds. Although now she was also crowned as a goddess of temperament, her temperament had been learned later in life within a short period of time. It had cost her two hundred twenty thousand and taken two years to train it.

This kind of comparison made Mo Yueshuang feel even more downcast.

She had rarely felt inferior. Even when sunk deep in mud, she had firmly believed she could climb out. Even when she was at rock bottom, she had believed that as long as she did not give up, one day she could reach the peak.

But this confidence gradually disappeared when she spent time with Li Sheng. Even she herself felt confused by it.

Li Sheng listened to Mo Yueshuang speak casually, and she noticed the change in Mo Yueshuang. Feeling that Mo Yueshuang’s mood might not be right, Li Sheng immediately stopped the car and turned to look at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Mm?”

“You’re unhappy. Is it because I brought you out?” She had heard that Mo Yueshuang and Guan Anru were a golden boy and jade girl pair of acting fanatics in the entertainment industry. Bringing Mo Yueshuang out from the filming set so rashly might really have made her somewhat displeased.

Mo Yueshuang denied it repeatedly. “I just ate a little too much just now. I’m fine. You don’t need to be so nervous.”

“You’re someone I brought out, so of course I have to take good care of you. If I send you back and the female lead is missing a few pounds in my hands, will Director Wen let me off?”

Hearing this, Mo Yueshuang’s eyes sparkled. She looked at Li Sheng and smiled nonstop. “I didn’t expect you could joke too.”

Seeing that she really was fine, Li Sheng started the car again and replied in passing, “I’m not made of wood. Why wouldn’t I know how to joke?”

Based on their brief time together since meeting, Li Sheng was indeed like wood when dealing with outsiders. Occasionally, she was even a piece of flammable and explosive wood.

“There’s still plenty of time. The place we agreed to meet is nearby. Let’s go watch a movie first.”

Li Sheng’s words made Ranran very happy. After returning to the country, she had not yet been to a movie theater.

Mo Yueshuang also expressed agreement. She had already gone shopping with Li Sheng, so watching a movie was naturally no problem either. Along the way, no one had recognized her. The movie theater would be dark inside, so they probably would not encounter those sharp-eyed fans from earlier.

Li Sheng led Mo Yueshuang and Ranran to buy tickets. After entering and finding their seats, Li Sheng placed the popcorn beside Ranran so the little one could reach it with a stretch of her hand.

“Don’t touch things randomly. You’ll be eating later, so don’t get your hands dirty, understand?” Li Sheng lowered her voice and instructed Ranran. Ranran nodded repeatedly to show she understood.

After Li Sheng finished instructing the little one, she raised her head and saw Mo Yueshuang sitting on Ranran’s other side. Mo Yueshuang smiled at Li Sheng. Seeing that Li Sheng was about to speak, she quickly half-raised both hands and teased with a smile, “I won’t get my hands dirty either. Don’t worry.”

“Mm.” Li Sheng was satisfied now.

In her previous life, against that war-torn world background, she had dealt with blood and filth every day. At that time, she had thought that if one day she became free, if the world became peaceful and all the monsters disappeared, then she absolutely had to make herself clean.

After coming here, Li Sheng slowly developed a little personality trait of loving cleanliness extremely. Not long after Ranran was born, because Ranran once ate something unclean and ended up in the hospital, Li Sheng transferred her own external cleanliness onto their food.

The movie was about to start. There was still an empty seat beside Li Sheng, and no one had come for it. Li Sheng leaned over toward Ranran. Mo Yueshuang could tell that she had something she wanted to say, so she copied Li Sheng and leaned toward Ranran too.

Ranran, who was squeezed in the middle, became somewhat unhappy. Although she very much liked Mommy and Auntie Mo being close to her, she did not like this feeling of being squashed. Fortunately, after Li Sheng created such a strange and warm atmosphere, she only said two sentences.

“Help me watch Ranran.”

“All right.”

“I’m going to the restroom. I’ll be back soon.”

“All right.”

Li Sheng also said it once more to Ranran. “Mommy is going to the restroom. Stay with Auntie Mo and don’t run around, understand?”

Only after seeing Ranran nod did Li Sheng leave.

After Li Sheng left, Ranran moved closer to Mo Yueshuang and asked in her milky voice, “Auntie Mo, have you watched a movie before?”

This was Mo Yueshuang’s first time coming to a movie theater. When she had been studying, she had no time, no money, and no interest in watching movies. When she was no longer studying, she focused wholeheartedly on entering the entertainment industry, and every year, she only cared about filming.

Later, after she became wildly popular and gained fame, the company controlled the private time of artists like them rather strictly. The only time she was arranged by the company to go, an accident happened and the plan was canceled. Back then, she had suffered a Waterloo in her career, and the company arranged for her to stir up hype with a male actor. According to the plan, the two of them were supposed to go watch a movie, but the male actor was exposed to have been secretly married for many years, and his child was almost old enough to enter kindergarten.

If she had gone along at the time, it would undoubtedly have invited hate onto herself. And so, her first excited plan to go watch a movie had been killed in the cradle.

“I haven’t watched one before. Has Ranran watched one before?”

Ranran shook her head. “Mommy turned our house overseas into a small screening room. Ranran hasn’t watched one outside before.”

What a pitiful little tycoon.

“Auntie Mo, there are so many people here.”

Ranran looked very excited. She grabbed a few pieces of popcorn and handed them to Mo Yueshuang. Mo Yueshuang smiled and ate one from her hand.

After feeding Mo Yueshuang, Ranran happily put the remaining popcorn into her own mouth.

After a while, Li Sheng returned, right as the movie started.

When Li Sheng came back, she discovered that the empty seat beside her had already been taken. However, when she saw the person sitting there, a trace of surprise and astonishment flashed through Li Sheng’s eyes.

That person smiled at her, pressed a finger to her red lips to signal silence, then pointed at the movie that had started, telling Li Sheng to watch the movie first.

When the first image of the movie appeared, Mo Yueshuang somewhat wanted to retreat and stop watching.

This was Phoenix Reigns, which she had acted in with Guan Anru. It told the story of a marriage-alliance princess from an imperial dynasty. However, this princess had been sent to the marriage-alliance country when she was only seven years old.

On the day she arrived in that country, she had just been canonized as queen when a rebellion broke out. Her husband died in that war of forcing the palace and usurping the throne, while she escaped with an old nanny and a young maid. On the way, they also encountered the little infant prince, still in swaddling clothes.

The old nanny and the young maid died. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the servants serving the little prince took the gold, silver, and valuables and fled.

She hid inside an empty water vat with the little prince for one day and one night. During that time, four search armies passed by. Later, at dawn, the little prince finally cried out for the first time from hunger.

And that cry also drew the defending army rushing over. After that came a few shots of the little queen nursing the child.

The little prince was brought back to the royal palace, and the loyal general protected him as he became the new emperor. The little princess became queen, then leapt into becoming the empress dowager.

After that, the loyal general died, and the subordinates he left behind had ambitions that were too great. They wanted to seize power and usurp the throne, but because of their master’s last wish and the forces of the neutral faction and the pro-emperor faction in court, they did not dare act rashly.

When that restless heart still could not help wanting to challenge imperial power, several probes were sharply detected by the young empress dowager. The emperor and empress dowager, who had survived the chaos of traitors and rebels forcing the palace back then, did not want what had happened that year to repeat itself. And so, a confrontation of political forces began.

After this came the cooperation between the young king and the young empress dowager, mutual benefit and reciprocity, with some feelings mixed in as well.

However, in the end, the king was too suspicious, and the empress dowager, hindered by all kinds of circumstances, could not accept this relationship. She chose to leave the court and go to a temple to clear her heart and worship Buddha. From then on, the two missed each other for life.

The plot still followed the current mainstream storyline, but this drama was a big-budget production, and the leads were Mo Yueshuang and Guan Anru, who both possessed acting skill and good looks in the industry.

After several rounds of costly promotion, this drama had already become very popular before it even premiered.
