When Ye Wei requested him to meet her alone, the last thing he predicted was for her to tell him to keep their past relationship a secret.

So, in her eyes, he had become a taboo, an existence that shouldn’t be known to outsiders, a roadblock that hinders her from climbing up?

Were glory and wealth so important?

Was it important enough to change a person beyond recognition?

He couldn’t help but think of Ye Wei in the past.

Because of her beautiful appearance, many boys had chased her, but her temperament was too overbearing and capricious. If she didn’t like someone or look down on someone, she wouldn’t even bat an eyelid toward them. The rejection in her eyes was apparent. She was willful and never cared about what the other party thought. This temperament of hers could make people feel embarrassed and ashamed yet it also aroused people’s desire to win her over. So, people kept chasing her.

At first, Mo Yu didn’t feel anything toward her. Yes, he considered Ye Wei beautiful, but he didn’t like her willful and squeamish temperament. Every time his classmates talked about her, they would turn deaf toward anything else and couldn’t be reasoned with. He was puzzled by their enthusiasm, wasn’t it just that she looked better than others?

She was not the kind of girl he would like, or so he thought. 

Until one evening, he accidentally bumped into Ye Wei feeding the cats and dogs downstairs the Learning and Teaching Building. At that time, it was still drizzling, the girl squatted in the corner with an umbrella, she was meowing with the cats, and then she laughed. When she laughed, her two small tiger teeth showed. 

That moment, under the drizzling rain, became the most memorable and beautiful memory for him.

Ye Wei, who was willful and squeamish, turned out to be so simple and cute.

He discovered her beauty for the first time. From then on, he had been unable to extricate himself from her.

Sadly, right now, the girl in his heart had vanished.

Mo Yu’s voice was cold, and his words were mocking, “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything about it. From now on, there is nothing between us. ”

Ye Wei knew that with the Male Lead’s personality, he really wouldn’t say anything about their past relationship. She then nodded with satisfaction. “That is indeed the best way for us. Okay. We are done here. Bye.”

Mo Yu’s aura became colder. The more indifferent Ye Wei was, the angrier he was. 

She was the one who clearly did the wrong thing, how could she behave so calmly? How could she be so at ease?

She was still so composed when telling him to not disclose their past relationship as if she had done nothing wrong at all.

Did he really read her wrong?

Did she never like him from the very start?

That must be it. If she really liked him, how could she don’t have any reaction to their breakup? How could she simply and decisively break off the relationship with him?

He laughed at himself, “Ye Wei, did you ever really like me?”

Ye Wei was caught off guard, why did the Male Lead ask her that?

Did she go overboard and now the Male Lead was heartbroken?

Was his heart really too fragile?

This made her want to comfort him and give him advice. There was plenty of fish in the sea; There was no need for him to hold onto her. The Female Lead was beside him. Hurry up and fall for each other!

However, recalling the tragic outcome of her last task, she suppressed the desire to comfort in time. 

She answered nonchalantly, “I did. I really liked you.”

Mo Yu studied her expression and his heart became stonier. The hope that nearly bloomed in his heart withered. “‘Really did like me’? Your ‘like’ is so cheap that you can abandon it at any time? You call that feeling ‘like’?”

He felt Ye Wei was hypocritical. If she really liked him, how could she treat him like this?

Did she agree to be with him just to satisfy her phony vanity?

He started to doubt Ye Wei’s original intention. All the previous sweetness of the past now seemed to have become falsehood. 

Ye Wei repeated, “Believe it or not, I really did like you.”

Mo Yu voiced, “Your like… I can’t believe it.”

Ye Wei was helpless, “Since you can’t believe me at all, why bother to ask me?”

Mo Yu stared back at Ye Wei who was watching him seriously. She was still as beautiful as ever, maybe even more than before. This was enough to show that she was doing well after leaving him behind, even better when she was with him. 

“You go, then. Don’t worry. No one will know our past relationship.”

“Mn, thank you.”

Ye Wei didn’t say much. She turned and left in her high heels.

Mo Yu watched her walk away from him. Step by step, he watched her leave him behind without looking back, without a trace of nostalgia. And, step by step, she disappeared in front of him. 

It was until she was far away that she looked back, but when she did, she couldn’t see Mo Yu anymore. What was left was only the empty corridor. 

What she said just now was the truth. The original owner really did like Mo Yu. Unfortunately, she couldn’t resist the desire for glory and wealth in her heart. She preferred the rich and easy life. 

She didn’t like to work hard every day just to be bullied and be robbed of the fruits of her labor. She was the one who worked hard. It was her hard work! But, the one who was praised wasn’t her! The one who got the bonus wasn’t her! Ultimately, whether openly or secretly, she had to endure being suppressed by her boss at every turn.

Ye Wei was pampered and spoiled since she was a child. How could she stand such hardships, let alone grievances? Her temperament wasn’t good from the start. As a result, setback after setback, she came to terms with Mo Yuan. 

She gave Mo Yu up for Mo Yuan. What she didn’t know was Mo Yuan, who was a man with a strange mind, only used her because of her value. When Mo Yu’s love for her faded, she was no longer valuable in Mo Yuan’s eyes. Her rich and easy life naturally came to an end. 

When the original owner was dumped by Mo Yuan, the Female Lead was already by Mo Yu’s side. The Female Lead, Miao Shuya, was always with Mo Yu. Whether in good or in bad; Whether he was the illegitimate son of a single-parent family with a poor background or the illegitimate son of a rich family. Miao Shuya had always been by his side, she did not disdain him nor did she belittle him. The two had experienced the ups and downs of life together and their feelings had become deep. Both trusted each other unconditionally.

Later, Ye Wei discovered Mo Yu was also the son of Mo-shizong. He may be an illegitimate child, but he and Mo Yuan still shared the same inheritance rights. In this way, Mo Yu’s identity was inherently the same as Mo Yuan’s. As Mo-shizong’s heir, his future was bound to be smooth. He was no longer the poor boy who couldn’t give her anything.

Considering that, she planned to go back to find Mo Yu. She wanted to reconcile with him. Still, Mo Yu was already with the Female Lead. The original owner wasn’t willing to accept it and used many means to separate Mo Yu and the Female Lead.

The final result, as everyone could guess, was that the Female Lead and the Male Lead became closer and fell deeper for each other. 

In order to get Ye Wei to leave Mo Yu, Mo Yuan had also used many means behind their backs. And being the man who liked to see other people in pain, Mo Yu pretended he didn’t know anything and even deliberately took Ye Wei to wander in front of Mo Yu. 

Because he pretended he didn’t know anything, every time he dealt with Mo Yu, he carried it out secretly.

Mo Yuan couldn’t make a big fuss, it was necessary for him to take account of Mo-shizong’s protection to his fledgling. If he was found out, undoubtedly, Mo-shizong would help Mo Yu instead and the end wouldn’t be good for Mo Yuan. 

But then again, Mo Yuan was the Villain, in face of the Male Lead, of course, he wouldn’t have a good end. 

“Don’t hide, come out.”

The silent Mo Yu suddenly spoke, and shortly, Miao Shuya came out.

She shrugged, “I’m sorry, I originally wanted to come here alone to get some fresh air. I didn’t intentionally want to eavesdrop on your conversation. ”

She really did come to get some fresh air and didn’t expect to hear the conversation between Mo Yu and Ye Wei. What’s more, to hear Mo Yu’s ex-girlfriend abandoned Mo Yu because of money.

Mo Yu only gave a glance at Miao Shuya and he left. 

Miao Shuya chased after him, “I didn’t expect you to have such a past.”

Mo Yu, “There are so many things you won’t expect. ”

Miao Shuya grinned, and afterward, she expressed, “Mo Yuan isn’t a good partner. Don’t get fooled by his gentlemanly cover. He may look gentle and polite, but truthfully, he is a petty man with a very gloomy mind. He becomes even more terrifying after his leg injury. The servants in his house change batches almost every short time.” 

“He is a very difficult man to get along with. No one could endure his violent temper for a long time except for an old butler that is always beside him.”

She could almost visualize the ending of Ye Wei.

Mo Yu furrowed his eyebrow and suspiciously asked. “Why are you telling me this? No. Why do you even know these things? Do you know Mo Yuan?”

Miao Shuya shrugged once more, “If you don’t even know your boss, how can you climb up? Do you think my goal is just to be a team leader?”

Mo Yu arched his eyebrow. Right now, he could see the undisguised desire in Miao Shuya’s eyes. The desire for power and status, a different desire from Ye Wei’s. Miao Shuya’s desire came from her self-confidence and pride, a kind of arrogance that wanted to show off. Her desire was to display her talents for all to see. 

The yearning in her eyes, just by looking at it, made his heart that was previously in pain boil. 

A woman could be like this, how could he, a man, be dispirited just because of a little affection and love?

Hence, his heart became calmer and his mood became better.

Mo Yu inquired, “Do you know if there are many women around Mo Yuan?”

Miao Shuya replied, “You have seen him. Even though Mo Yuan’s character is gloomy and grumpy and it is difficult to distinguish his mood, there are still many women sending themselves to him. Even if he is like that, there are people that want to try to be ‘the destined one’ for him and have the delusion to ‘save’ him. A pure and lovely woman, a glamorous woman, a simple and inspirational woman… It went without question that there is no kind of woman he hasn’t seen.”

“Listening to your tone, I assume that they all failed? ”

“It doesn’t stop with only failing. Tell you what. There was once a young model that tried to seduce him and failed. Not only did she fail, but she was also thrown out of the modeling circle by Mo Yuan. Popularity becomes a far-away dream for her. Until now, she was only a 36-line little model.”

That surprised Mo Yu. So Mo Yuan not only repelled their seduction but also retaliated against them?

“With that said, no one dares to use this trick to move Mo Yuan anymore. His mind is very deep and no one can know what he is thinking.”

“Is he really that terrible?”

Miao Shuya nodded. It was unknown what she thought, but there was a flash of nervousness in her eyes. “Actually, it is indeed best for you to not disclose your past relationship with Ye Wei. If he knew you had been with Ye Wei, with his temperament, he wouldn’t let you stay in Mo-shi.”

“So overbearing? Regardless of him, I can stay in Mo-shi because of my ability.”

Mo Yu mocked, “You said it like that, so what, should I thank Ye Wei for her kind reminder?”

Miao Shuya reminded him, “You are still new here. Don’t let your emotions control you or you won’t have any good results.”

Mo Yu didn’t reply instantly. It took a moment for him to reassure her, “Don’t worry. I have promised Ye Wei. I won’t say it.”

For the sake of glory and wealth, would she really be happy by the side of such a man?

Was money really that important for her? 

Besides, since Mo Yuan was such a terrible man, what end would Ye Wei receive by staying by his side?

He wanted to see it. How far could she go?

At the same time as Mo Yu and Ye Wei’s conversation, Mo Yuan was listening to the reports from his underling. 

“Ye-xiaojie asked Mo Yu not to disclose their past relationship and Mo Yu asked Ye-xiaojie if she ever really did like him. Ye-xiaojie answered that she really did like him… Mo Yu looked very pained with that answer… Ye-xiaojie left after saying those words.”

“It wasn’t until she walked far away that Ye-xiaojie looked back. It looked like she was a little worried?”

“Worried?”

Mo Yuan smirked. “It’s good if she is worried.”

He turned his head sideways, and after some time, he saw Ye Wei, who had just left for the dressing room, walking towards him with a smile.

Ye Wei smiled brightly and reached for Mo Yuan’s arm as if nothing had happened.

“Why have you been there for so long? I heard that you were chatting with someone outside just now? Did you meet an acquaintance?”

Mo Yuan asked, feigning to not know anything. 

Ye Wei was startled and explained, “My stomach is uncomfortable…”

“And then?”

“Then I was blowing the wind outside. Please don’t get offended by it, Mo-xiansheng.”

Uncomfortable stomach… Blowing the wind…?

Mo Yuan’s smile froze. Without himself realizing it, he already broke off Ye Wei’s hand that was holding his hand.

Ye Wei blinked innocently at him with a sweet smile.

Hehe.
