The story goes back to the dinner party with friends after Mo Jingchen proposed.
Mo Jingfei was late because of work. As the last person to arrive that day, she naturally attracted everyone's attention when she pushed the door open and walked in.
When she walked in, she looked at everyone at the table and said generously, "Sorry I'm late."
"Feifei, come and sit down. Are you tired? Did you just come from the film set?" An Yiruo waved to Mo Jingfei happily when she saw her.
As a rising star in the entertainment industry, Mo Jingfei's popularity continues to rise and remain high. Her schedule is packed with announcements and appearances. The reason she was able to attend the gathering today is because she was filming nearby.
"Sister-in-law, I rushed over here right after I finished. Look, I haven't even taken off my makeup yet. Don't I love you?" Mo Jingfei sat next to An Yiruo, linking her arm with hers, chatting like best friends.
However, these words took on a different meaning in Mo Jingchen's ears: "Watch your words."
"Sister-in-law, look at Mo Jingchen, he's so jealous," Mo Jingfei joked.
"Mo Jingfei, have you been too free lately? You have time and guts to joke around with me?"
When Mo Jingchen said this, there was a hint of danger in his eyes, as if if she said another word, he would arrange for her to be a laborer.
"Brother, you're joking. I'm so busy I barely have time to breathe," Mo Jingfei quickly changed the subject.
On the other side, Si Shao looked at the woman sitting opposite him and asked Li Ye, who was sitting next to him, "She is... Mo Jingfei?"
“Yes, don’t you recognize her? I remember you saw her when we were kids,” Li Ye answered Si Shao’s question.
"She's not quite the same as she was when she was a child."
When Si Shao said this, it seemed like he was implying something, but Li Ye didn't catch the subtext and said, "Girls change a lot as they grow up. Now that she's a rising star in the entertainment industry, she's naturally different from when she was a child."
Si Shao stared at Mo Jingfei for a few seconds before quickly looking away, comparing her to the little crybaby in his mind. Sure enough, girls change a lot as they grow up.
Thinking of this, the corners of Si Shao's mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
However, he himself probably didn't even notice this tiny change.
In the days following the dinner, Si Shao would subconsciously keep an eye on Mo Jingfei's news.
Since her debut, she has paid attention to everything, big and small.
The more attention he paid to it, the deeper the emptiness in Si Shao's heart was filled. Only now did he realize that he was not a person without desires, but rather that he had not yet met someone who truly moved him. The so-called love at first sight was nothing more than this.
To his dismay, the two had no contact since that dinner.
For this reason, Si Shao went to great lengths to get Mo Jingfei's WeChat from An Yiruo.
As for why he didn't ask Mo Jingchen for her WeChat, the reason was naturally that Mo Jingchen was too perceptive and might easily alert her.
Although the two added each other as friends, they barely talked and just sat quietly in each other's friend lists.
Later, during a live broadcast promoting Mo Jingfei's new drama, Si Shao suddenly appeared and showered her with gifts until he secured the top spot on the leaderboard. Only then did he look at his phone screen and smile with satisfaction.
However, this smile didn't last long before he received a private message from Mo Jingfei: "Hello, I don't know how to address you."
First of all, thank you for your love of our drama and for recognizing my portrayal of the character.
However, I still suggest that you watch dramas and follow celebrities rationally. The amount of money you spent on gifts in the live stream today is far too large. I hope you can give me your contact information so that I can return the gifts.
Upon seeing this message, Si Shao's relaxed brows furrowed. The gift he sent... had been rejected?
This was the first time in his life he'd ever given a girl a gift, and he'd actually been rejected! He was a little annoyed.
There's no reason to take back a gift that's been given away.
"No need to return it," Si Shao replied to her text message with a slight frown, out of her sight.
"Since we've already contacted you, we still need to process the refund. Could you please provide your contact information?"
Si Shao knew Mo Jingfei's temperament to some extent and knew she was serious, so he sent her a set of numbers with the intention of teasing her, and then stopped talking.
At this moment, Mo Jingfei stared at the set of numbers on her phone screen. They looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.
Meanwhile, her assistant, worried that her boss might be scammed, warned her not to add strangers as friends indiscriminately.
But for some reason, Mo Jingfei had a sixth sense that he... wasn't a bad person.
It wasn't until she typed that string of numbers into WeChat that she suddenly realized she knew that person!
Young Master Si, Mo Jingchen's good buddy! But... why did he suddenly come to my live stream and send me gifts? Could it be that he's doing this to save face for me because of Mo Jingchen?
But upon closer reflection, it seems unlikely.
People like him are usually ruthless and cold-blooded.
Although he had the refined and elegant appearance of a handsome young man, he was unapproachable, like a god from the highest heavens, untouched by worldly affairs.
Besides, she and he had no interaction in their daily lives, so there was no reason for him to send her gifts.
After thinking about it for a long time, the only explanation I could come up with was... his account must have been hacked.
"Brother Si, was your account hacked?"
Mo Jingfei thought this way, and that's how she edited and sent the text message.
"No."
No? Then what does he mean by that? Mo Jingfei was once again filled with doubt.
