Chapter 731 - Mo Xicheng, I Like You (8) (1/2)

It was no wonder that, even though Mo Xicheng was obviously capable of carving a career for himself in the entertainment industry, it had never really taken off.

He never accepted films that had a huge potential for success.

He was never even involved in any scandals, all because he had always been so inhibited.

With such a mother, what could anyone say?

Suddenly, Qiao Lian was full of sympathy for Mo Xicheng.

That would explain why he always looked so troubled and gloomy, as though he was a nocturnal creature that could not thrive in the light.

She sighed deeply.

If Shi Nianyao were to date this guy for real, who knew how much more she would suffer?

Qiao Lian now understood where Mo Xicheng was coming from.

–

The following day, they decided to return to Beijing.

Now that the development project was fully on track, they just needed to wait three months before the housing units were on sale.

First thing in the morning, they saw Shi Nianyao standing at the door of their hotel room with her suitcase.

Qiao Lian was stunned. “You’re—”

“Aren’t you returning to Beijing? I’ll go with you.” She walked up to them. Although she had a smile on her face, that smile was somewhat forced.

Qiao Lian could tell from the look on her face that she had been hurt by what happened the day before.

Given what had happened, it wasn’t a bad thing that she was leaving the filming crew.

Hence, she nodded.

As they were leaving, Mo Xicheng turned up to see them off.

His eyes were bloodshot from late night filming. Yet when he saw Shi Nianyao standing there with her suitcase next to the couple, he was slightly stunned.

However, he did not say a word.

After all, even if he had some good feelings towards her, it was just that—a seed that had just germinated.

Seeing his cold expression, Shi Nianyao’s heart sank even lower.
