After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 26.2

Mo Yueshuang only looked at him with a smile and did not say who that person was.

Seeing that she still refused to tell him, Guan Anru’s lost reason slowly returned. He released her hand and laughed to himself. “Sorry. I was too agitated.”

“Does that person like you?”

“I’ll work hard to make her like me.”

Guan Anru did not like pestering others, but he also did not want to see the person he liked belong to someone else. He took a soft, deep breath and pretended to smile lightly. “I won’t give up either.”

In the end, Guan Anru maintained his gentlemanly manners and personally escorted Mo Yueshuang to Yutian Banquet’s parking lot, watching her leave.

However, Guan Anru was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he made a phone call and had someone investigate. They had to find out as soon as possible who the person Mo Yueshuang liked was.

Li Sheng, who was still at Yutian Banquet, should have left with Ranran after Mo Yueshuang departed, but they were blocked by several black-clothed men who suddenly barged in.

Li Sheng did not think Guan Anru would be petty enough to take out his anger on her, an onlooker, just because his confession had failed.

The black-clothed men only guarded Li Sheng and did not let her leave. They did not actually do anything to harm Li Sheng and Ranran.

“Who are you?” If Li Sheng had the original host’s memories, she would definitely have recognized these people, because these were bodyguards raised by the Li family since childhood.

“Miss, Young Master said he wants you to wait for him. It has been a long time since you last met, so he needs to prepare properly before catching up with you.”

“You’re Li Junhao’s people?” Li Sheng had some impression of him, but that Li Junhao did not appear very often in the novel.

The Li family was the richest family in Hua Country in this world, but the eldest son of the Li family, Li Junhao, had been adopted. Meanwhile, the spoiled and willful eldest young lady of the Li family, Li Sheng, was the Li family’s biological child. No matter how much trouble she caused, the Li family could not bear to punish her severely. Instead, they had always kept a position for her in the company. The Li family clan also upheld the rule that the family inheritance passed to the legitimate line, not the concubine line; to the eldest, not the younger; to men, not women; and to insiders, not outsiders.

Li Sheng’s grandfather was the legitimate eldest son of the Li family. Li Sheng’s father was also the legitimate eldest son of the Li family. But when it came to Li Sheng’s generation, although Li Junhao was male, he was an adopted outsider, while Li Sheng was legitimate-born but a woman.

The Li family clan felt that the rules should be changed. When the legitimate eldest-son line could not continue, the legitimate second-son line should have the right to compete. And so Li Sheng’s Second Granduncle’s thoughts began to stir.

Li Sheng’s mother’s health was poor and could only have one child. Her father and mother had a very good relationship, and he had no intention of divorcing and remarrying for the sake of an heir.

The legitimate eldest sons of the Li family were deeply devoted. For the legitimate line to have two children already required burning incense in gratitude, but the legitimate second son of the Li family was so promiscuous it made people click their tongues. Li Sheng’s Second Granduncle’s family was a very good example. Just last month, Second Master Li announced that the family had gained another little princess. This little princess was not his granddaughter or great-granddaughter, but his biological daughter. Second Master Li’s family was flourishing with descendants. During the New Year, all his descendants gathered together, whether legitimate children or illegitimate children, whether ex-wives, current wives, or mistresses. Altogether, there could be nearly two hundred people.

It was as if they were just waiting for the legitimate eldest-son line to decline one day, so they could immediately send a high-quality descendant over to take over the Li family.

When Li Sheng was very young, she had followed her parents to give New Year greetings. She could not count how many older male cousins, older female cousins, younger male cousins, and younger female cousins she had.

The men in Second Granduncle’s family were also interesting. Every New Year and holiday, they would bring all their lovers and children home for reunion. Several times, a few women fought until their heads were bleeding and had to be sent to the hospital, but this custom still flourished in his family.

Looking back at Li Sheng’s family: her grandfather, father, mother, Li Junhao, and Li Sheng. If they did not include the portrait of Li Sheng’s deceased grandmother, they could not even fill one table.

“Where is Li Junhao?”

Back then, Li Sheng had refused to return not only because she did not want to participate in the main plot, but also because she did not want to be dragged into wealthy-family struggles. In wealthy-family struggles, the ones most easily injured and hardest to protect were often children.

If not for this, Li Sheng’s mother would not have had an accident during childbirth and become infertile for life. Li Junhao also would not have come to the Li family to be adopted, and Father Li would not have hurriedly arranged an engagement between the Li family’s only daughter and the eldest young master of the Guan family when she was still young.

Right now, she brought Ranran with her, did not fight or compete, and there was still Li Junhao above her blocking things. Father Li and Mother Li were also fine, so the collateral branch could not make things difficult for her. But once she returned, it was inevitable that those people would become suspicious of her.

Li Junhao still had not arrived. Li Sheng grew impatient from waiting. She held Ranran’s hand and was about to take the child away.

“It’s already past eight at night. Your Young Master Li really puts on airs, making me wait here for so long. Does he want to catch up with me, or did he see I came back and decide to show me who’s boss?” Li Sheng wanted to leave. The bodyguards did not dare lay hands on her, but they also did not dare let her go. They could only stand with their hands behind their waists, straight-backed at the door, forming a human wall and refusing to give way.

Li Sheng looked at their posture and could not help laughing. “Very good, all of you. My Li family raised you and taught you skills, and this is how you repay us?”

The bodyguards still did not move, but they already felt somewhat ashamed inside. Yet the Eldest Miss did not manage family matters. They had been handed over by the master to the young master, so they had to listen to the young master’s orders.

“All of you, move.” Li Sheng picked up Ranran and turned her head to say to Ranran, “Ranran, be good. Cover your ears and close your eyes.”

Only after Ranran did everything one by one did Li Sheng raise her leg and kick the bodyguard blocking the door. Seeing him grimace in pain, Li Sheng mercilessly added another kick.

“Move.”

Li Sheng said it once more, but they still did not move. She was too lazy to keep circling around with these people. She gathered strength and planned to cripple him with one kick, but before that kick could be delivered, a familiar male voice sounded outside the door.

“A-Sheng, why are you so rough? We’re all family. Fighting back and forth is so bad.”

Hearing the voice, the bodyguards knew Li Junhao had arrived and quickly stepped aside to make way. Only the bodyguard standing in the middle, who had taken several kicks from Li Sheng, moved a little more slowly.

A pink-striped, fitted three-piece suit, a dark red shoulder-cape coat draped outside, an emerald-green little tie, a custom orange-yellow leopard-print gentleman’s hat on his head, and ink-wash lotus shoes on his feet.

A flowerlike handsome man over 1.8 meters tall had somehow dressed himself like a flamboyant rooster.

Li Sheng turned her head away. It was an eyesore. She did not know how Li Junhao had offended the author for his image to be set like this.

Li Junhao strode toward Li Sheng with his long legs. Seeing Li Sheng turn her head and refuse to look at him, he became even more mischievous and leaned closer to her. “Oh my, my little princess baby, you’ve been back for so long, yet you didn’t even tell your brother. It hurts this big brother’s heart so much.”

“Stay away from me.” Li Sheng held Ranran properly and swept a sharp gaze toward Li Junhao. She had intended to warn him with her eyes, but when she caught sight of his distinctive outfit, Li Sheng could not help stepping back two steps herself and sat back on the sofa with Ranran.

Li Junhao sat opposite Li Sheng. His long legs, which had nowhere to go, crossed elegantly. In front of Li Sheng, he deliberately or unintentionally hooked his foot in a coquettish manner, as if admiring the ink painting on the surface of his shoe.

“A-Sheng, since you came back, why didn’t you go home and take a look? Mom and Dad both miss you.”

Li Junhao snapped his fingers, and someone immediately brought over famous wine and glasses. After pouring wine for him, they stood behind him and waited quietly for the next service.

She had been back in the country for so long, and she could feel that someone had always been following and protecting her. It was certainly someone sent by Father Li and Mother Li. But they had not contacted her for so long. Presumably, something had happened in the Li family, and it was temporarily not suitable for her to go back and face it.

Li Junhao had suddenly come looking for her. It might be because the Li family’s matter had been resolved, and he had come only after getting Father Li and Mother Li’s permission. It might also be because Guan Anru next door had played a trick on her and deliberately lured this flamboyant rooster over.

The little person in Li Sheng’s arms moved. She asked Li Sheng softly, “Mommy, is it over?”

Her hands covering her ears were tired, and her little arms had begun to ache.

Li Sheng did not want Ranran to look at the colorful butterfly opposite them, but she also did not want the little one to keep covering her ears. So she held Ranran’s little wrist and moved it. Ranran took the chance to lower her hands and opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the man sitting across from her smiling at her. The man had sword-like brows, bright eyes, and a handsome face. His smile was also very gentle, but that entire outfit combined together was truly a great visual shock to the little one. It scared her into shrinking into Li Sheng’s arms and covering her eyes.

Li Junhao across from them had not yet had time to greet his niece before he saw his niece look at him once and hide away.

Li Junhao’s powerful heart finally suffered damage at this moment.

“Did I scare her because I didn’t put on makeup today?” Li Junhao asked Li Sheng in an injured tone. Li Sheng’s little heart trembled. “No. You wearing makeup would truly scare her.”

Li Junhao shrugged and sighed. “What a pity. My niece disliked me the first time she met me.”

His gaze occasionally fell on Ranran. By now, Ranran had barely adapted to that strange outfit, and from time to time, she peeked out to look.

The corners of Li Junhao’s lips rose slightly, and a smile gradually appeared.

“You’re called Li Ran, right?”

Ranran did not rush to answer. She raised her head and looked at Li Sheng. Only after Li Sheng moved her from her arms to sit on the sofa did Ranran confirm that this man was not dangerous and might also be Mommy’s friend.

Ranran nodded. Li Junhao’s smile deepened.

“Can I call you Ranran?” Li Junhao put his legs down and leaned forward. “I’m your mommy’s older brother. I’m your uncle. Ranran should call me Uncle, understand?”

Ranran looked at Li Sheng uncertainly. Li Sheng nodded very unwillingly, and only then did Ranran call him Uncle.

That soft, sweet “Uncle” made Li Junhao so happy his heart bloomed. He laughed “yingyingying” for a while, then simply got up from the sofa and crouched down in front of Ranran.

“Before I came, I heard Ranran likes Nona dolls. Uncle will take Ranran to buy some, okay?”

Li Sheng coldly watched Li Junhao coax her daughter. Heh, did he think a few dolls could abduct her daughter? Dream on.

Then she saw Ranran scoot down from the sofa and take the initiative to hold Li Junhao’s hand. “Uncle!”

“Ai~” Li Junhao answered with extreme satisfaction. He happily picked up Ranran. “Buy! Uncle will buy Nona and give it to Ranran as a meeting gift.”

As soon as Li Junhao finished speaking, an assistant entered from outside, opened an acquisition contract, and placed it on the table in front of Li Sheng.

“…”

“In the future, all Nona will belong to our Ranran. Ranran can have as many as she wants. If that still isn’t enough, Uncle will build you a big factory and have them make more Nona for Ranran. Okay?”

“Wow~” The little one expressed disbelief. “Uncle, are you the richest person?”

“Uncle isn’t. Your mommy is.”

“Mommy says she isn’t. Mommy won’t buy Ranran lots and lots.”

“Your mommy is stingy!”

One big and one small said bad things about Li Sheng right in front of her. Li Sheng tiredly put away the acquisition document and took Ranran back from Li Junhao.

The soft little dumpling in Li Junhao’s arms was gone, and his mood suddenly dropped again. Standing in front of Li Sheng, he rubbed his hands and asked somewhat bashfully, “Will you go home with Brother?”

“I still have things to do.”

“What things? Can they be more important than your brother?”

“Ranran still has school tomorrow. Tonight, we need to go home early and rest.” Li Sheng casually made up an excuse. Li Junhao’s expression became serious. He rested one hand against his chin and thought carefully. “That is more important than Brother. Brother will send you home, then. It’s too late. You two cute and delicate little princesses going home alone makes Brother uneasy.”

After saying this, Li Junhao called out a person’s name. “Send Miss and Little Miss home.”

The burly man whose name was called slowly stepped forward and rolled up his pant leg. His knee was bruised purple and red, and that leg looked as if it had been crippled.

“Young Master, I can’t step on the accelerator.”

“Aiyo, my darling, what happened here?” Li Junhao let out an exaggerated cry of surprise, then smoothly turned his head and stared straight at Li Sheng. “A-Sheng, how did you kick him into this state? Being so ruthless toward our own bodyguard, doesn’t your heart ache?”

The moment the man revealed his injury, Li Sheng had covered Ranran’s eyes. Now, she was also too lazy to keep entangling with them and only said, “I’m leaving first. If you send people to block me again, I’ll cripple them one by one.”

Li Sheng left while holding the child and carrying the little one’s schoolbag.

Li Junhao’s voice came from far away. “Our dad told you to bring Ranran back at the beginning of next month!”

In the car, Ranran sat in the back seat, chattering as she asked Li Sheng.

“Mommy, where does Uncle want us to go?”

Li Sheng thought for a moment before answering, “To Mommy’s father’s house.”

“There’s a seven-day short holiday next month. When the time comes, if Ranran wants to go back, Mommy will take you. If Ranran doesn’t want to go back, we’ll go find Miranda for a vacation.”

Li Sheng brought Ranran home. She parked the car and held Ranran’s hand as they walked toward the house. Ranran suddenly broke free from her hand and ran toward the figure at the door.

“Auntie Mo!”

Li Sheng focused her eyes and looked. She also copied Ranran and ran a few steps. Only when she reached Mo Yueshuang did she ask, “Why are you here?”

“I refused.”

A sentence without beginning or end, but Li Sheng understood it. Li Sheng hid a smile in her eyes. In order to cover the joy in her heart, her expression became even colder.

“Oh.”

Mo Yueshuang felt somewhat disappointed by this response from Li Sheng. Before coming, she had thought… she had thought that Li Sheng’s strange tone when inviting her during the day, and then hearing she already had an appointment, meant that Li Sheng liked her too.

She had stood here and waited for a very long time, so long that she had nearly thought Li Sheng and Ranran would not come back.

When she saw Li Sheng and Ranran, Mo Yueshuang’s heart, which had calmed down, suddenly danced wildly out of control. So when Li Sheng asked her why she was here, she did not say any of the well-prepared words in her mind. She only said directly, “I refused.”

She knew Li Sheng understood, but Li Sheng’s reaction was like pouring a basin of ice water over her burning heart.

“I… my friend lives here. I came out, I passed by here, and I wanted to see Ranran, so…” Mo Yueshuang spoke incoherently, wanting to explain to Li Sheng why she had appeared here and why she had said such an abrupt sentence.

But in such a flustered state, Mo Yueshuang could not explain anything clearly. Instead, she almost tangled herself up.

Fortunately, Li Sheng was very happy right now. She noticed that Mo Yueshuang was acting wrong but did not probe too deeply.

“You’ve waited a long time, right? Come inside first. It’s very cold at night now. Standing outside too long makes it easy to catch a chill.” Li Sheng opened the door, held Mo Yueshuang’s hand, and brought her inside.

By the time Mo Yueshuang came back to herself again, she was already eating the late-night snack Li Sheng had prepared.

Li Sheng was still busy in the kitchen, saying she needed to prepare soup in advance.

Mo Yueshuang stood at the doorway and watched her. All her attention was on Li Sheng. All her gaze stopped here for her. During the day, Li Sheng was a decisive, powerful career woman outside. At night, at home, she was a gentle, virtuous wife and loving mother.

These two completely different styles and auras blended perfectly on Li Sheng. This kind of Li Sheng truly fascinated her.

At this time, Ranran had already gone to sleep, so all of Li Sheng’s movements slowed down to avoid making too much noise and waking Ranran. Even though the house’s soundproofing was very good, and as long as one did not deliberately make noise, Ranran would have a hard time waking up, Li Sheng, this mother, still did everything very carefully.

“Li Sheng, do you have someone you like?”

Mo Yueshuang asked very suddenly. Li Sheng lowered her eyes and stared at the kitchen knife in her hand. Did she?

“Sorry, I just asked casually. I’ll go see if Ranran has her blanket properly covering her.”

Mo Yueshuang left in annoyance. Li Sheng even had a child, so she must have had someone she loved before. It was only unknown what reason had caused Ranran to have no father. Perhaps it was because that person was a scumbag who abandoned the mother and daughter, or perhaps that man had gotten into some accident and was no longer in this world.

In any case, suddenly asking Li Sheng this kind of question must have made Li Sheng feel very bad inside.

Mo Yueshuang walked to Ranran’s room in annoyance. Looking at Ranran wrapped tightly in the blanket, the little one had not kicked it off. Instead, because she was hiding inside the blanket, her face had become rosy and warm.

Mo Yueshuang sat by the bed and looked at Li Ran’s little face. The more she looked, the more similar it seemed to her. Mo Yueshuang secretly thought that perhaps it was because she and Ranran were fated. Then could she also fantasize that she and Li Sheng were fated too? That she could enter the world of this mother and daughter with another identity, and not as an ordinary friend?

Feelings were always sweet sugar before they were confirmed. But after they were confirmed, that delusion and that infatuation accompanied her at every moment, making it so that she could not even remain ordinary friends with Li Sheng anymore.

When it came to feelings, people were always greedy. She was not satisfied with staying in her current position, but she also could not abruptly charge into Li Sheng’s world and confess her feelings to her.

Mo Yueshuang’s gaze lingered on Ranran’s face for a long time, unable to return to herself.

At the doorway, Li Sheng watched them, and a faint sour feeling rose in her heart. It was clear that Mo Yueshuang really liked Ranran. Should she tell Mo Yueshuang the truth? Would Mo Yueshuang be able to accept it? Would the fact that Ranran was her child frighten Mo Yueshuang and make Mo Yueshuang distance herself from them?

Li Sheng had no experience in this area at all. And because of these special reasons, she had no way to seek help from anyone or ask them to analyze it for her.

“Miss Mo.”

Li Sheng called very softly. Mo Yueshuang came back to herself and saw Li Sheng at the doorway. She quickly hid her feelings for Li Sheng. At this time, she was extremely grateful that she was an actress, and an actress with very good acting skills.

Mo Yueshuang tucked Ranran’s blanket down for her, then quietly left Ranran’s room.

“It’s getting late. I’ve already tidied up the spare room. You should go rest too.”

Li Sheng led her to the guest room. “The things inside were all newly bought. I washed them all. The toiletries are prepared in the bathroom too. I’ll go heat a cup of milk for you. Later, after you shower, drink the milk so you can sleep better.”

As Li Sheng introduced everything, Mo Yueshuang’s gaze lingered around this guest room.

The guest bedroom was a little smaller than the master bedroom, but everything that should be there had been prepared completely. It was as if she were not a temporary guest, but a friend who had suddenly moved in to live together… a relatively close friend.

“Thank you, Li Sheng.”

“You’re welcome.”

After Mo Yueshuang finished showering and came out, Li Sheng came over with a cup of hot milk. “Drink this. I’ll help you blow-dry your hair.”

“No need… I can do it.” Mo Yueshuang’s refusal had no effect. Li Sheng had already pressed her down to sit, and the hair dryer in her hand began humming.

A warm current passed through her hair. The warm feeling quickly relaxed Mo Yueshuang. Suddenly, Li Sheng’s fingertips passed through her hair, brushing across her scalp. A tingling, numbing sensation went straight to the bottom of Mo Yueshuang’s heart.

She had originally relaxed, but suddenly felt heat rise from deep inside her heart. She drank several more mouthfuls of milk in a row but could not suppress this heat. Instead, it rose even more strongly.

Even after finishing the whole cup of milk, Mo Yueshuang still felt dry-mouthed and thirsty. Fortunately, not long after she finished drinking, Li Sheng stopped.

“All done.”

Li Sheng left with the hair dryer. “Rest well. Call me if you need anything.”

After Li Sheng left, Mo Yueshuang deflated and threw herself onto the bed. Her mind was full of Li Sheng. As if venting at herself, she rolled around on the bed. Li Sheng was truly hateful, but she really liked her.

Mo Yueshuang lay flat on the bed. She was fine, but she very much wanted to call Li Sheng.

However, not sleeping at this hour and running to knock on Li Sheng’s door would probably make Li Sheng treat her as a lunatic.

Mo Yueshuang thought that if there were a chance, she absolutely had to pursue Li Sheng. Mo Yueshuang also thought that if Li Sheng liked her too, that would be wonderful.

Before sleeping, Mo Yueshuang thought wildly about many things. After finally settling down and falling asleep, Li Sheng was still in her dreams.

The next morning, when Mo Yueshuang woke up, Li Sheng was already preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Seeing her come over, Li Sheng unceremoniously instructed her, “Go see if Ranran is awake. If she is, help her put on her clothes.”

“She already learned how to dress herself at kindergarten, but she’s still small. When she pulls the clothes back and forth, she can’t find the sleeves. You need to help her.”

Mo Yueshuang stood at the doorway, her brows and eyes full of gentle affection. The eyes she used to look at Li Sheng were filled with warmth.

“If she’s not awake yet, let her sleep a little longer. Last night, she followed me around so far. She’s tired too.”

After Li Sheng finished speaking, she found that Mo Yueshuang was still standing at the doorway looking at her. She subconsciously reached up and wiped her own face.

Li Sheng’s movement made Mo Yueshuang realize that she had stared too long and had lost composure. She quickly smiled. “I’ll go take a look.”

After Mo Yueshuang left, Li Sheng took out her phone and looked at herself through the screen. There was nothing on her face. It seemed Mo Yueshuang had just been standing at the doorway in a daze.

When Mo Yueshuang returned, she was already holding a sleepy little dumpling in her arms. When the little one saw Li Sheng, she opened her arms for a hug.

“Mommy~”

Li Sheng leaned over and kissed her, but did not take her into her arms. “Be good. Let Auntie Mo carry you back. Mommy will serve the soup.”

Ranran obediently hung her opened arms around Mo Yueshuang’s neck and circled them there, steadily hiding in Mo Yueshuang’s arms. Because she had not fully woken up, she rubbed against her again, found a comfortable position, and continued closing her eyes to doze.

During breakfast, Mo Yueshuang held a bowl of soup. After tasting two sips, she praised Li Sheng with great satisfaction. “I didn’t expect your soup to taste this good. Your cooking skills are simply amazing.”

Li Sheng was praised, and her vanity was satisfied. Of course, it was also because Mo Yueshuang had praised her. These days, because she had watched Xie Shixian deliver soup, and someone drank it clean every time, Li Sheng had returned home indignantly and kept practicing. Finally, she received the return on her efforts.

“Have you ever drunk soup better than this?”

“Mommy makes this soup every day. Ranran has already drunk lots of it.” Li Sheng’s question was answered by Ranran first. Ranran was only complaining a little, then lowered her head and continued sipping in small gulps.

Li Sheng’s question was very arrogant, but Mo Yueshuang did not feel the slightest sense of arrogance from her. Because it was soup personally made by Li Sheng, it became the best soup Mo Yueshuang had ever drunk in her life.

“No. This soup surpasses any soup I’ve ever had. Your skill is really good.” So good it makes me want to marry you and bring you home.

Mo Yueshuang felt that if she stayed any longer, her little feelings might break through the soil and frighten Li Sheng.

Mo Yueshuang also felt that the way she looked at Li Sheng was becoming increasingly burning. If she kept looking, who knew if Li Sheng would notice something.

She lowered her head and drank in big mouthfuls, using her actions to prove that this soup suited her taste very much.

Perhaps because of love, Mo Yueshuang felt that she could no longer taste the original flavor of the soup. Every mouthful she drank was the most delicious thing she had ever tasted.

Mo Yueshuang did not doubt that if Li Sheng poured her a cup of water, she would be able to taste honey-like sweetness in it.

After breakfast, because Mo Yueshuang did not have many scenes in the morning and only had one scene close to noon, Li Sheng first drove Ranran to kindergarten, then went to the crew with Mo Yueshuang.

The atmosphere on set today was still very off. Li Sheng casually caught someone and asked again. It turned out that Young Master Guan had flown into a rage as soon as he arrived at the crew this morning. Throughout the morning, he had been in all kinds of poor condition. Because of his scene, the director had already NG’d several times. And because the other party was the eldest young master of the Guan family, the director was angry but did not dare scold him. He said a few cold words, but Guan Anru NG’d even more severely.

“It’s been this long, and the first scene still isn’t finished?” Mo Yueshuang said.

Mo Yueshuang stood beside Li Sheng, looking at Guan Anru, who was currently filming. The person acting opposite Guan Anru was Bai Qin. Bai Qin already did not want to act, and now they kept NG’ing and starting over again and again. Her entire person was close to collapse.

If she were not thinking of being able to follow them out for location shooting in a few days, she would have already gone on strike and quit.

Li Sheng said, “His condition isn’t right. Maybe your rejection yesterday hurt his heart. Look at how dark his face is now.”

Li Sheng used a cold voice and cold tone to say teasing words. Mo Yueshuang did not feel anything was wrong. Instead, she thought this kind of Li Sheng was very interesting.

After Li Sheng left, Mo Yueshuang covered her face with both hands. She felt she was about to go mad. Ever since she recognized her own heart, when she looked at Li Sheng again, every part of her seemed good.

Mo Yueshuang rested beneath her little tree. As usual, Xie Shixian came with soup.

Mo Yueshuang habitually accepted it, but suddenly saw Li Sheng looking over from far away. Mo Yueshuang’s hand paused, and many thoughts ran through her mind.

Li Sheng had said that she would practice cooking in advance, practicing many times. Then was making soup the same?

Ranran had said this morning that these past few days, she had been drinking the same soup every day. Did that mean Li Sheng had been practicing that soup? Mo Yueshuang remembered that the soup Li Sheng made just happened to be the same soup Xie Shixian had brought her the first time, except Li Sheng used more ingredients, and the flavor was even fresher and more delicious.

Could she guess that after Li Sheng saw Xie Shixian bring her soup, Li Sheng went home and also started practicing making soup? And finally, this morning, she let Mo Yueshuang drink the soup she had personally made, then casually asked, “Have you ever drunk soup better than this?”

Rounding it up, could this be equal to Li Sheng getting jealous because Xie Shixian was bringing her soup?

Mo Yueshuang was amused by her own thoughts. She patted her forehead and sat there alone, unable to stop smiling. How could Li Sheng, with that cold personality, possibly do something like that?

She was probably adding to Ranran’s recipe book. The fact that Mo Yueshuang got to drink the soup today was just a coincidence.

But these facts could not stop Mo Yueshuang from secretly fantasizing behind Li Sheng’s back about Li Sheng being jealous for her.

The more Mo Yueshuang thought about it, the happier she became. Although she clearly knew everything was fake, that good mood still uncontrollably remained. In the end, Mo Yueshuang patted her cheeks and secretly told herself: Calm down, Mo Yueshuang! You are an actress, not a drama queen! Your inner monologue cannot be this excessive.

Just as she finished saying this, Li Sheng came over.

Li Sheng glanced at the thermos she was using to serve soup, then asked, seemingly intentionally and unintentionally, “Miss Xie came to bring you soup again?”
