The more she looked at Mo Yuchen, the more Su Xiaofei felt that something was wrong with him. Usually, he would always give her a displeased look, as if her presence would sully the air he was breathing. However, now, as she looked at him, it seemed like he had matured since the last time they had seen each other.
Su Xiaofei only gave him a curt nod and remained silent while the Zhang sisters waited patiently for her, giving Mo Yuchen a suspicious look. They also found it weird that Mo Yuchen would seek their miss without the usual hostility in his eyes.
'Something must have happened.' Both sisters thought.
They didn't like how Mo Yuchen was looking at their miss and hoped that he wouldn't cause trouble now that their master was about to wed Su Xiaofei. It surely wouldn't be a good thing if Mo Yuchen dared to interfere with the plans.
"Is there something you need? I'm pretty sure you didn't come to me for a mere greeting." Su Xiaofei questioned him. There was no way this man would seek her willingly just to apologize.
Mo Yuchen stared at her for a moment and knew right then that he wasn't willing to give her up to Lu Qingfeng. She was his wife, and he wouldn't hand her to another man without a fight. This time, he would make sure that neither Ye Mingyu nor Lu Qingfeng could tear them apart from each other.
"I heard what happened during the photoshoot for the Bellissima campaign. I want to apologize for the troubles Miss Luo caused you."
Su Xiaofei's jaws hardened, the corner of her lips turned down as she looked at him. Mo Yuchen apologizing to her? Now, that was new. He had never apologized nor explained anything to her when they were together. Was this really Mo Yuchen, or was she speaking to a doppelganger pretending to be him?
"If you are really sorry for what happened, have you done anything to sanction Miss Luo for trying to harm Tang Liyan? CEO Mo, I never thought you would stoop so low." She said with annoyance.
"It is pointless to apologize for something when we both knew that Bai Qingyue's manager had meant to harm Tang Liyan from the very beginning. Do you expect me to turn a blind eye and pretend that my talent's, as well as my life, weren't threatened by her? If Tang Liyan hadn't insisted on letting it go for now, your manager would find herself behind bars now."
Mo Yuchen understood what she meant, and he understood where she was coming from. Su Xiaofei had a protective nature when it came to people who were close to her, especially for Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng.
"Golden Star has already served her a three-month suspension. If President Su still feels that this isn't enough, feel free to ask us for the compensation you think is fair for Miss Tang."
"Three-month suspension?" Su Xiaofei scoffed. "If she was a talent manager at Bluemedia, I would have terminated her contract on the spot and sued her for harassment. Miss Luo is really lucky that she's part of Golden Star instead."
"It's not that easy to lay off someone as capable as Miss Luo. President Su should know this by now." Mo Yuchen said in defense. "We are thankful that you decided to overlook her sins this time. Rest assured that it won't happen again in the future."
In the future? Su Xiaofei's frown deepened.
What was he trying to imply? The collaboration with Bai Qingyue for the Bellissima campaign was already released and because of what happened during the photoshoot, it was decided for the two queens to promote the brand on their own to avoid a repeat of such problems.
"It doesn't matter. The campaign is almost over. While it has been a pleasurable experience for us to work with Miss Bai, we cannot forget what her manager tried to do to Tang Liyan."
"You are so sure about this, but haven't you seen the explosive feedback on the campaign? The audience, as well as their loyal fans, have accepted their collaboration really well. It would be a waste if we don't take advantage of this trend they started."
Her eyes narrowed suspiciously on him. See? This shameless man really needed something from her. If not, Mo Yuchen would continue to ignore her presence and wouldn't spare her a glance at all.
"What I am saying is that Bluemedia and Golden Star should take advantage of it. Many of their fans want to see them on the big screen, so why not give them what they want?" Mo Yuchen continued, hoping that she would consider his suggestion. He needed a way to get close to her at any cost.
However, Su Xiaofei remained silent as she continued to look at him as if he had grown another head over his shoulder. She couldn't remember seeing this side of Mo Yuchen in her previous life.
"Do you mean to say that our companies should have a collaboration for this film festival?" She asked, although it was obvious that Mo Yuchen was trying to lure her to cooperate with him.
"Why not? Not only would it be beneficial for their careers and popularity, but it could be profitable for both companies."
Zhang Ling and Zhang Lan glanced at each other and knew right then and there what Mo Yuchen was trying to do. This man was certainly trying to find a way to get between their master and Su Xiaofei. They mutually decided to pay more attention to his words and motives from now on. They shouldn't leave their young miss alone with this man at all.
"I would be a fool if I agreed to your suggestion, CEO Mo. I won't put Miss Tang's life and safety at risk again. No amount of money is worth her life.." Su Xiaofei replied, before turning away, leaving Mo Yuchen watching her retreating figure from afar.
