Gu Liyan had to admit that Hua Baixian's food had undergone tremendous changes compared to before; it was now delicious and visually appealing, and even tasted a bit like home.
Seeing Gu Liyan enjoying his meal, Hua Baixian smiled sweetly and asked, "Do you like the food I made?"
Gu Liyan said in a serious tone, "It's alright. You need to try harder next time!"
Hua Baixian pouted, "She's clearly comparable to a master chef, but she still won't admit it!"
Gu Liyan put down his chopsticks and said, "Go and clean up the dishes."
Hua Baixian glared at Gu Liyan and began clearing away the dishes.
The phone rang. Gu Liyan glanced down at it and saw it was Mo Chen. She took the phone and went upstairs to the second floor before answering the call.
Seeing Gu Liyan's secretive demeanor, Hua Baixian said irritably, "He won't even let me listen when he calls, how annoying!"
Gu Liyan closed the door and asked into the phone, "How's the itinerary going?"
"I don't know why, but they're being very tough on us, demanding we pay a penalty for breach of contract," Mo Chen said.
"Then give it to them, and tell them I'm not taking the role," Gu Liyan said firmly.
Mo Chen frowned and said, "Mo Li, is it really okay for you to do this for a woman? Everyone is watching you; this will only give them something to use against you!"
"I'm happy to have this opportunity to rest," Gu Liyan said expressionlessly. "Besides, it's almost the end of the year, and someone should be out and about..."
Mo Chen sighed and said, "Alright, I'll handle this. Also, I think it would be better to let Hua Baixian join the company's girl group for a while."
“Yes, that’s what I was planning to do too,” Gu Liyan said.
"By the way, your discharge from the hospital has been announced. Many people are saying that you faked your illness to gain sympathy. Should we make this official?" Mo Chen asked.
"No need, I don't want my illness to be revealed, this is fine." Gu Liyan thought for a moment and said, "Could you help me find out where the script for that micro-drama came from and who wrote it?"
"Why did you suddenly ask that?" Mo Chen asked, puzzled.
"I have a strange feeling that the person who wrote this script seems to know something..."
“…I’ll help you investigate.” Mo Chen agreed without saying anything more.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Liyan checked the news on her phone and found that she had been mentioned again.
Mo Li faked illness and went to the hospital to gain sympathy!
Is his acting declining and he resorting to faking illness to attract attention?
Gu Liyan was so angry at the comments below that he laughed:
Little Fox is Mine: I never expected Mo Li to cause trouble. I no longer believe in love!
One pot can't hold it all: Upstairs, how about a grand wedding? The kind where you pay for the whole wedding!
One-fold roast chicken: I almost cried when I heard Mo Li was sick, but I never expected it was all an act! Please pay for my tears!
Don't forget me: I'm so glad I'm not sick! Can you please stop scaring us?! This joke isn't funny at all! *crying*
A fox spirit: Someone said Mo Li is a fox, and looking at it this way, she really is a fox!
Seeing this, Gu Liyan smiled. "So you really couldn't resist after all?"
When Gu Liyan debuted, a master of metaphysics, Xuan Tiandao, discovered that he was a reincarnation of a fox demon and maliciously posted articles to prove that he was a fox demon.
However, under Mo Chen's control, she unexpectedly gained a series of character traits: the reincarnated little fox's quest for immortality, and the journey of Mo Li, the little fox with unparalleled beauty...
Gu Liyan became famous because of Xuan Tiandao's certification. However, since then, Xuan Tiandao has rarely posted anything, only announcing advertisements for fortune telling appointments at the end of the year.
It seems likely that Xuan Tiandao will intentionally mention his reincarnated fox demon identity this year.
Ding ding ding
There was a knock at the door, and then Hua Baixian asked anxiously, "Xiao Li, are you... are you alright?"
Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile: This girl knows I'm on the news headlines again, so she's worried I'll be unhappy, right?
Gu Liyan put down her phone and went to open the door...
"Are you alright?" Hua Baixian asked Gu Liyan with concern.
Gu Liyan smiled and said, "I'm fine. I don't have work this afternoon. Why don't you come shopping with me?"
Hua Baixian hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, the news says you're faking illness. If you still go shopping, it will definitely cause a public outcry!"
"Now that people have discovered I was faking it, what's the point of hiding it?" Gu Liyan smiled as he looked Hua Baixian up and down. "Your clothes are dirty, shall I buy you new ones?"
"Huh?" Hua Baixian looked down at her clothes and found that they were indeed a bit dirty. She nodded apologetically, "Okay."
Gu Liyan went out wearing only a baseball cap, seemingly without any intention of deliberately concealing his identity.
Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan with some surprise, "Why aren't you driving?"
Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment and then said awkwardly, "I, I can't drive."
This time it was Hua Baixian's turn to be stunned. She never expected that a big star like her wouldn't know how to drive!
"If I were to take the driving test, I'm afraid it would cause traffic jams, so I'd rather not take it!" Gu Liyan explained.
Hua Baixian awkwardly replied, "Oh, I see."
Hua Baixian was about to call a car when Gu Liyan stopped her, saying, "We can walk there; it's not far."
Hua Baixian nodded.
In fact, Gu Liyan was still worried that the driver would expose his location, which would only make things more troublesome.
Based on the news, everyone should have thought that Gu Liyan wouldn't go out, but who would have thought that Gu Liyan would do the opposite and go out shopping!
Upon arriving at the mall, Hua Baixian spotted a clothing store offering discounts and rushed inside, pulling Gu Liyan along. Before Gu Liyan could react, they were surrounded by a massive crowd.
