137 Why Would I Want to Hug You? (1/2)
Mo Xiao Xia already knew that Ye Shuang did not come from a famous family. After all, her new agent was Ye Shuang's cousin. Even though Luo Ce would not reveal too many things to her, basic information could not be hidden for that long.
However, Mo Xiao Xia did not feel disappointed or lied to. She liked Ye Shuang due to her personality and because she had saved her and was kind to her. Furthermore, she had introduced her to other people at the ball and helped her resolve the misunderstanding with Luo Mingxin.
Through their interaction, Mo Xiao Xia was slowly attracted by the radiance exuded by Ye Shuang. Naturally, there was a closeness that formed, and she had subconsciously felt this kind of impressive individual should come from a traditional family, but even when she found out that she was wrong, she was just surprised, like… Wow! So I'm wrong…
But it would not affect the affection that she felt toward Ye Shuang.
Just as Ye Shuang had told Luo Mingxin, one needed qualification to enter a circle, but one needed more than that to gain acceptance. When one was really accepted by this circle, it was no longer as important how one first gained entry.
This was similar to how a company required certain certifications from their employees. One day, someone without the necessary certifications somehow slipped through the system. As the days went by, everyone was slowly impressed by his skill and technique. Based on his success, he slowly climbed through the ranks. At the time, people might be compelled by curiosity to check his resume. F*ck! He's just a high school graduate!
The shock would be due to surprise and their expectations being so far from the truth. Nevertheless, this would not affect people's impression of him, nor would they question how he entered the company. At most it would become a topic for water-cooler talk, but it would not shake the status and success that he had already built.
After finding all the participants, Ye Shuang treated Yao Zhixing to a dinner before going home. Little Brother Ye was given the orders to observe the situation next door, but Anthony did not return home that night. It was unclear whether it was due to official business or private business. It did not matter. Ye Shuang waited for the next day to arrive.
”Sister Ye—”
Ye Shuang arrived at the Mo Xiao Xia's photoshoot with Little Brother Ye, who insisted on tagging along. Mo Xiao Xia, who was resting, saw Ye Shuang and flew toward her with her eyes lighting up… and rammed into Little Brother Ye. This young man had a weak lower body and thus careened to the floor. The two youngsters tangled into one another and rolled until their bodies were stuck with grass. Ye Shuang was feeling awkward because she did not move fast enough to save them—she was too stunned by what happened.
”Who are you‽” Little Brother Ye grumbled with dissatisfaction. F*ck me! Why couldn't you just do a normal photoshoot? Why are there so many wires and lines‽ The floor is covered with a layer of fallen leaves, so the lines couldn't be seen. Even so, do you need to trip on them and ram into me? F*ck, maybe I shouldn't have left home today!
Mo Xiao Xia was also angry as she climbed up from the floor. She glared at Little Brother Ye. ”Why were you blocking my way? I wanted to hug Sister Ye, not you!”
Ye Shuang quickly rushed over to help the girl up with a warm smile and helped pat the grass stuck to her body away. ”You need to be careful when you're outside. After all, the place is such a mess. By the way, this is my biological little brother, Ye Feng.”
As she said so, she reached out another hand to pull on the back of Little Brother Ye's shirt collar. The slender arm without muscle lifted the young man up easily like she was picking up a kitten.
Mo Xiao Xia's eyes glowed when she saw this scene. ”Wow!”
Then she turned to give Little Brother Ye a side-eye. ”Since you're Sister Ye's brother, I'll forgive you.”
Her eyes were filled with condescension like she was feeling ashamed on Ye Shuang's behalf.
Patience! Little Brother Ye told himself.
Luo Ce had also arrived then. She had not seen him for a month, but many things had changed. After signing Mo Xiao Xia, Luo Ce had managed to round up a whole team to serve his artist immediately, including a make-up artist, personal assistant, and security.
”Miss Mo, you'll need to change your outfit and redo your hair and make-up… Xiao Shuang and Xiao Feng are also here? Wait a minute, I'll come talk to you when I'm done.” Luo Ce pointed at a stylist to get her to help Mo Xiao Xia clean up her image. Ye Shuang waited at the side. When Mo Xiao Xia was placed in the chair and the assistant came to help her with the make-up, Luo Ce finally had the time to talk to them.
”Things are going well for Brother Luo,” Ye Shuang said with a smile.
Luo Ce shook his head with an embarrassed smile. ”It's because of Tian Mo Media's boss or else I wouldn't have been able to build a team so fast. However, Xiao Xia herself has a good foundation, and this photoshoot came from the magazine itself. Of course, it is related to Boss Mo, but Xiao Xia's contribution cannot be underestimated.”
Ye Shuang smiled and did not comment. Yes, the model herself was important, but with good make-up, any model would do. At the end of the day, the important thing was the background. The magazine knew Boss Mo would not let his niece continue to be unknown, so they reached out to her when it was still early.
