After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 28.2
Mo Yueshuang did not understand why Li Sheng was thanking her, but today, she had touched Li Sheng’s wound. Li Sheng was someone with a heavy past. She should not have rashly tried to walk into Li Sheng’s world.
Mo Yueshuang thought she would not give up, but she also would not be so reckless again.
“Li Sheng.” Mo Yueshuang wanted to comfort Li Sheng, but Li Sheng did not seem to need it. Mo Yueshuang also felt that she had no right to discuss another person’s past, so she only stepped forward and hugged Li Sheng. “We’re friends now. No matter what, you still have me.”
Li Sheng did not speak. Rarely, she raised her hand and hugged Mo Yueshuang back. This made Mo Yueshuang’s heart tighten. Very quickly, Li Sheng let go and withdrew from Mo Yueshuang’s arms.
“I hope you won’t hurt me in the future.”
Li Sheng knew Mo Yueshuang liked Ranran very much. If Mo Yueshuang found out that Ranran was her child, she did not know whether Mo Yueshuang would want to take Ranran away. Although Li Sheng would not give her, at that time, their friendship would definitely come to an end.
The more Li Sheng thought about it, the more irritated she became. In the end, she scratched her head. “Stay here with Ranran. I’ll go check on Bai Qin.”
Mo Yueshuang was very happy about Li Sheng’s trust in her. In this unfamiliar place, she actually left Ranran with her. At the same time, she was also somewhat unhappy. After arriving here, Li Sheng seemed to be paying too much attention to Bai Qin.
When Li Sheng arrived at Bai Qin’s place, Le Yuantian was also there.
Both of them had no scenes and had come to learn, but Li Sheng felt that neither of them had their heart in this. Bai Qin wanted to use the opportunity of following the crew to learn to explore the village.
As for Le Yuantian’s goal, it was currently unknown. But thinking of this kid’s ambition, it probably was not something simple.
“Screenwriter Li.”
To be honest, Le Yuantian felt timid toward Li Sheng. Every time he saw Li Sheng, Li Sheng always gave him a cold face, and an extremely fierce cold face at that. He had also heard Bai Qin say that Li Sheng knew their president, so Le Yuantian became even more nervous when seeing Li Sheng again.
“You came to follow the crew and learn, so how did you follow your way to the female actors’ housing?” Li Sheng questioned Le Yuantian sharply.
Le Yuantian smiled bitterly inside and wanted to flee.
“Screenwriter Li, Bai Qin and I are both artists under Jiawei Media. Before we came, our manager told us to look after each other. I came over to see if she needed any help.” Le Yuantian wanted to take advantage of the time before filming started to hide over here with Bai Qin and gain some goodwill.
Bai Qin’s favorability was not easy to raise right now. That day, her sister had already worn away all of Bai Qin’s goodwill toward Le Yuantian with just a few words. The fact that Bai Qin was not openly giving him a cold face now was already not easy.
“Is there anything you need help with?” Li Sheng asked him.
Le Yuantian awkwardly could not answer. After he came over, he had indeed tried to be attentive, but Bai Qin stubbornly refused to use him for anything and slowly struggled through everything by herself.
“Everything… everything is ready. I was planning to go walk around the village with Bai Qin later.”
Le Yuantian suggested this, thinking Bai Qin would not refuse him.
Indeed, when Bai Qin heard they were going to walk around the village, both her eyes lit up. Her movements sped up, and she was only waiting to go out with Le Yuantian later.
“This afternoon is Xie Shixian’s scene, and there’s another Mo Yueshuang scene at dusk. Between the two of them, whose acting isn’t worth learning from?” Li Sheng looked at them and sneered. “You came here to follow the crew and learn. Don’t get up to all these crooked little tricks. If you don’t actually have the heart to learn, then pack up early and go back.”
Li Sheng’s words made Le Yuantian clasp his hands tightly behind his waist, but he did not dare show dissatisfaction in front of Li Sheng. He held back his emotions and squeezed out a smile. “I understand, Screenwriter Li. I won’t mess around again. I’ll go prepare right away. I’ll definitely study the afternoon scenes properly.”
Le Yuantian ran away in a flash. Bai Qin looked at Li Sheng and was still a little afraid. After all, Li Sheng had looked truly fierce when she got angry just now.
Once Le Yuantian left, Li Sheng slowly withdrew her imposing aura too.
“You want to go take a look around the village?” Li Sheng asked.
Bai Qin lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes with both hands, saying awkwardly, “Weren’t you the one who told me to use the chance of coming here with the crew to take a look around the village?”
“Does that mean you should go right now? This is your first day here. At the very least, you should put on a proper attitude. No matter what, you’re an artist signed under Jiawei Media. Since you’re out on assignment, you should at least consider the company. There are so many people in the crew. Has anyone rested since arriving? Yet you two are acting like you’re on an outing on the first day. How are you going to get along with the people in the crew later?”
Bai Qin felt that what Li Sheng said made sense. But she had originally come here because she wanted to visit the village. Now that she was not allowed to go, her whole person became listless.
“I’m not saying you can’t go. At least wait a couple of days. Once everyone has adjusted here, you, as an insignificant newcomer, can go look around the village out of curiosity, and no one will have anything to criticize you for.”
“I understand.” Bai Qin’s mood was low, but because Li Sheng’s words made sense, she did not become dissatisfied. Instead, she packed her things and prepared to follow everyone to the crew to watch filming.
When Li Sheng returned, Mo Yueshuang was still staying beside the bed and accompanying Ranran. Li Sheng thanked Mo Yueshuang, and Mo Yueshuang smiled lightly. “We’re friends. You don’t need to be so polite.”
…
On the first night in the mountains, Mo Yueshuang returned to the little house after finishing filming with the production team.
At the doorway of the little house, Chen Yue sat on the steps with both arms around her knees. Seeing Mo Yueshuang return, she happily lifted her head quickly. “Boss.”
“Didn’t you receive a tent and go with Engineer Deng and Assistant Liu?” Mo Yueshuang was surprised that Chen Yue had suddenly come here.
Chen Yue sighed and said in a low mood, “Boss, although this isn’t my first time accompanying you for location shooting, this is still the first time you’ve abandoned me and slept with someone else. I just feel a little strange.”
Hearing this, Mo Yueshuang could not help laughing.
“What’s strange about that? It’s not like you sleep with me every day. What, you can’t sleep without me?”
Chen Yue stood up awkwardly and casually smoothed the wrinkles in her clothes. “Boss, that’s not what I mean. I just feel that ever since you met Screenwriter Li, I don’t seem to be that important to you anymore. I feel a little… mm, a little emotionally unbalanced.”
Fortunately, Mo Yueshuang usually did not put on airs as a boss. If this had been said to someone else, any boss would probably get angry.
Mo Yueshuang only smiled. “Those are two different things.”
“All right, did you come find me for any proper business?” Mo Yueshuang asked. Seeing Chen Yue shake her head, she smiled and shooed her away. “Since there’s nothing, hurry back. If Li Sheng comes back with Ranran later and you’re blocking the door, how improper would that look?”
“Boss, I’m your assistant. What’s improper about me staying at the door of your room?”
Chen Yue was unhappy. She was clearly the envied assistant of a great film empress, so why had she suddenly become so disliked?
“Hurry back and rest. My scene is first tomorrow morning. We just got here today, the environment is so poor, and the workload is heavy. Everyone is holding in a bellyful of dissatisfaction, so tomorrow absolutely cannot have any accidents.”
“I know, Boss. It’s not my first day as your assistant.” Chen Yue brushed away the loose hair on her forehead and asked Mo Yueshuang, “Boss, should we still send things around like before?”
“No need. In this crew, those who can be won over have already been won over. For those who can’t, sending more things is just feeding wolves. We might as well keep them for ourselves.” In the past, Mo Yueshuang had to be smooth and thoughtful in all directions. This was also a very important part of why, even though she was smeared like a briquette outside the industry, she could still maintain her popularity within the circle.
Now, it could be said that the overall situation had already been set. In the future, she only had two paths she could take: either swallow Da Yi and turn over to become master, or find a reliable agency company to get through the early difficulties of leaving her old company.
After learning from Zheng Yusheng about the power behind Jiawei Media, Mo Yueshuang thought that if she really had to switch agencies, going to Jiawei Media should not be wrong.
It was just…
She still somewhat did not want to be an employee. Mo Yueshuang had always hesitated about founding her own studio. Founding a studio was not simple or easy. She herself was not familiar with these things at all, and aside from Zheng Yusheng, there was no other useful talent around her. But Zheng Yusheng had to help her manage the company, so she could not split him off again to manage a studio.
“Then Boss, I’ll go back first.” Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yue was afraid that if she went back any later, it would be dark. So after reminding Mo Yueshuang a few more times to rest properly, she left directly.
When Chen Yue was passing over the small hill after leaving, she happened to run into Li Sheng. Li Sheng was holding Ranran and walking back slowly. In the whole crew, only this mother-daughter pair was this leisurely.
“Hello, Auntie Chen~”
“Hello, Ranran!” Hearing Ranran greet her, Chen Yue immediately replied happily. After that came her rather stiff, “Hello, Screenwriter Li.”
“Hello.”
Seeing that she had come from the direction of their little house, Li Sheng casually asked, “Has Miss Mo finished work?”
“Mm, she just came back.” Facing Li Sheng, Chen Yue still felt a little timid. She always felt that Li Sheng was not only cold on the surface, but cold in her bones as well. Cold-blooded and emotionless could probably be used to describe Li Sheng.
They only met, exchanged a few words, and that was that. Li Sheng brought Ranran back to the little house. Mo Yueshuang was already using the clay stove outside by the wall to prepare dinner.
Ranran was very curious about this and leaned over to look, only to be choked by the smoke and start coughing. Li Sheng felt distressed and picked her up, walked a few steps farther away, and then put her down.
“Does your throat hurt? Are your eyes uncomfortable?” Li Sheng asked with concern. Ranran coughed several times, almost squeezing out tears. She rubbed around in the little pocket of her top, took out another new little handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and choked twice before saying, “Wu~ I’m fine.”
Seeing the cute child like this, Li Sheng was so exasperated she laughed. After that, she held Ranran’s hand and stood a little farther away, explaining why she had been smoked.
“Why is Auntie Mo fine?”
Li Sheng was about to answer, but Ranran rushed to ask and answer herself. “Is it because Auntie Mo is an adult and taller than Ranran, so the smoke can’t reach her?”
“Because your Auntie Mo is standing in a place where the smoke can’t reach. Ranran can go around from behind to Auntie Mo’s side, and you won’t be smoked either.”
Ranran carefully moved closer to Mo Yueshuang. Then, standing there and looking at the white smoke drifting out, she called to Li Sheng in surprise, “Mommy, it’s because the wind blew the smoke away. Ranran was standing where the wind was!”
Now she could watch from close range. Ranran followed Mo Yueshuang and watched her cook.
“Ranran, although you won’t be smoked now, Ranran is still little, so don’t stay too close for too long, okay?” Mo Yueshuang was worried something might happen to Ranran. After all, Ranran was still young, and Li Sheng had truly taken such good care of her that this was definitely her first time coming into contact with these things.
Ranran obediently nodded. After curiously watching for a while, she quickly ran back to Li Sheng’s side. Once she reached Li Sheng, she hugged Li Sheng’s leg and called, “Auntie Mo, I was very good.”
Mo Yueshuang finally understood what Li Sheng meant when she said that because she had Ranran, she did not feel tired at all.
She had filmed the whole afternoon on set and had originally been very exhausted. But after returning here and thinking that Li Sheng and Ranran had not solved their dinner yet, she suddenly became full of energy and wanted to give them a surprise dinner.
Now, not only was she full of energy, but when Ranran spoke to her in that milky voice and acted spoiled and cute, Mo Yueshuang felt that her whole body, including every strand of her soul, was soothed. The feeling of tiredness had completely vanished.
Li Sheng went into the room and brought out some toys for Ranran, while she went to Mo Yueshuang’s side and took the spatula from her.
“The smoke smell is too strong. Go rest. I’ll handle this.”
Li Sheng forcefully took over. Mo Yueshuang pushed back. “I can do it. When I was little, I often did this at home. You, on the other hand, don’t get smoked.”
In her previous life, Li Sheng had mostly used primitive stoves like this too. So after taking over now, she operated it even more skillfully than Mo Yueshuang, leaving Mo Yueshuang stunned. Only then did Li Sheng say with a little pride, “Go rest. I can handle it.”
The work in Mo Yueshuang’s hands had all been snatched away by Li Sheng. Originally, she had wanted to show off her skills in front of Li Sheng, but instead, Li Sheng ended up showing off to her. Mo Yueshuang did not know whether to laugh or cry. She washed her hands and went to accompany Ranran in playing.
A little house, a child, and someone by her side. She could personally prepare her own food. There were no guards or experiments, no monsters or bad people.
This was everything Li Sheng had dreamed of owning in her previous life, and now it had been realized just like this.
Li Sheng stared at the food in the pot, then looked at Mo Yueshuang, who was building blocks with Ranran and laughing with her. Li Sheng’s heart was warmly overflowing with a happiness she did not understand.
So this was what it felt like when a dream came true. It started from the heart, gradually becoming a little numb and tingling. Her whole person felt soft, and everything her gaze touched was warm.
Li Sheng had not yet properly enjoyed this stable, peaceful, beautiful life for long when she heard the notification sound of a text message on her phone.
She wiped her hands and opened her phone, only to see a message from Ji Ruodong.
—Guan Anru is privately investigating Da Yi’s internal upper management. I suspect he wants to settle the matters within Da Yi that are unfavorable to Mo Yueshuang while she isn’t around.
—I’ve already intercepted it ahead of him. Negotiations with Da Yi’s upper management have also been completed. Once Mo Yueshuang comes back, I’ll let her know that you, Li Sheng, helped her greatly from behind the scenes.
—At that time, Mo Yueshuang will be deeply grateful to you. Guan Anru can only wait and cry. Shengsheng, just wait and watch the good show. Brother Ruodong will arrange everything for you.
After Li Sheng finished reading the text, her gaze flickered, and her eyes fell on Mo Yueshuang.
In the future—this was only a hypothesis, not real—Li Sheng secretly thought in her heart: In the future, what if Mo Yueshuang gets together with someone else? At that time, as friends, would we still be able to be this close?
Li Sheng suddenly froze, frightened by this terrifying thought of her own.
She really liked spending time with Mo Yueshuang. This feeling was very relaxing. But what about Mo Yueshuang? Would she like spending time with her?
Li Sheng stared at Mo Yueshuang and observed her seriously for a while. She discovered that Mo Yueshuang was very happy when facing Ranran. Li Sheng suddenly felt a little defeated. Perhaps Mo Yueshuang was only willing to get close to her because of Ranran.
After all, she and Ranran had a blood connection.
“Dinner is ready.” Li Sheng called them over to eat. Ranran picked up all her toys, arranged them one by one, then went to Li Sheng to wash her hands and eat.
After dinner, Li Sheng cleaned everything up, then boiled almost a whole kettle of hot water for Mo Yueshuang. “You shower first. I’ll take Ranran for a walk nearby.”
“Li Sheng, it’s not very suitable to go out this late. Ranran is still little, and the mountain wind is cold and heavy at night.” Mo Yueshuang stopped her. Li Sheng said, “We won’t wander around. We’ll just walk around the little house.”
“All right, take the flashlight. Watch the road and don’t let you and Ranran fall.” Mo Yueshuang ran into the little house and brought out a flashlight.
Watching Li Sheng leave with the child, Mo Yueshuang’s thoughts grew heavy. Li Sheng’s mood this evening seemed a little off.
Mo Yueshuang noticed it, and naturally, Ranran, this considerate little cotton-padded jacket, noticed it too.
After leaving the little house, she tugged on Li Sheng’s hand. Li Sheng lowered her head to look at her, and Ranran asked, “Mommy is unhappy?”
Li Sheng furrowed her brows slightly and sighed softly. She bent down, scooped the little dumpling up from beside her leg, and held her in her arms.
“It’s not that I’m unhappy. I just feel a little disappointed.” Li Sheng seriously analyzed her current emotions.
Ranran still did not understand what disappointment meant. But hearing Li Sheng say she was not unhappy made Ranran feel a little relieved. She hugged Li Sheng’s neck and rubbed against her. “Is Mommy not full yet?”
Hearing this, Li Sheng laughed. “Is it our little greedy cat Ranran who is craving something again?”
The two of them walked a little far. The mountain wind blew over, and the cold was strong. Li Sheng protected Ranran in her arms. “Should we go back now or walk a little longer?”
“Mommy, let’s walk a little longer.”
“Okay.” Li Sheng smiled and rubbed her head. Ranran explained, “Because Mommy seems to have quarreled with Auntie Mo.”
“Mm?” Li Sheng was surprised. “Why does Ranran say that?”
“Mommy always secretly looks at Auntie Mo when Auntie Mo can’t see. Auntie Mo also often secretly looks at Mommy when Mommy is working. When Mommy is angry and ignores Ranran, Mommy secretly looks at Ranran too. When Ranran is angry and ignores Mommy, Ranran also secretly looks at Mommy. Every time Little Uncle Guan makes Mommy angry, Little Uncle Guan also secretly looks at Mommy.”
Her thinking was clear, her logic was reasonable, and she even gave examples to prove it. The little one’s speech deserved praise, but at this moment, Li Sheng’s focus was on: Why does Mo Yueshuang secretly look at me?
