Chapter 86 - 86: Exposed (3) (2/2)

But now, she was trying to act cute in front of another man; she didn't know if it would work with him. Seeing that Ye Peicheng remained motionless, Qiao Moyu thought for a moment before speaking, ”You know Director Wang, right? His movies are on fire right now.”

”So what are you trying to say?” Ye Peicheng replied with a heavy look in his eyes.

”What I want to say is I have a true ability, and this is not just some old superstition.” Qiao Moyu blinked and said with a reasonable tone, ”Why don't you wait and see if Lu Beige will become popular?

Just when she didn't know what to say, Luo Luo Luo ran over, grabbed ahold of Qiao Moyu's arm, then looked up urgently at Ye Peicheng. He seemed to be in a rush, since before pulling his mother along with him, he managed to quickly say, ”Master, Luo Luo needs to pee!”
