Hearing Mo Rao say this, Momo stopped crying. He threw himself into Mo Rao’s arms reluctantly.
His father told him that Mo Rao was a celebrity now and was very busy. She didn’t have time to visit him often, so he could only secretly long for her.
“I might as well eat at home before leaving. It’s already noon.” Zhang Zhe broke the awkwardness.
“Okay.” Fu Ying agreed without thinking. He really wanted to spend more time with Mo Rao, but Mo Rao didn’t want to see him.
Mo Rao pursed her lips and didn’t speak. If she rejected him again, Momo would probably continue to cry.
So be it. Weren’t they siblings? Fu Ying had already let go. Why couldn’t she let go as well? How embarrassing!
“Okay!” Mo Rao replied loudly.
Zhang Zhe heaved a sigh of relief and quickly asked his mother to make lunch. Auntie Zhang was naturally very happy, but she needed Zhang Zhe’s help. The mother and son went to the kitchen, leaving only Mo Rao, Fu Ying, and Momo in the living room.
Momo ate the cake silently and looked at Mo Rao and Fu Ying from time to time.
Mo Rao also quietly cut a piece of cake and ate it with Momo. She didn’t speak to Fu Ying and only accompanied the child.
“I heard that you’re going to participate in ‘Wild Beginner Camp’?” Fu Ying broke the tense atmosphere first.
“Yes, the recording will start the day after tomorrow.” Mo Rao didn’t look at Fu Ying and only looked down at the cake.
“This program is very tiring to film. Can you handle it?” Fu Ying asked with a frown. Why did Mo Yuan take on such a variety show gig for her?
Mo Rao said calmly, “I can handle it. Don’t worry, this variety show is very popular. It can increase my fame.”
That was true. Fu Ying stared at her gorgeous side profile. She was like an elegant white orchid, beautiful and fragile, making one want to protect her.
Fu Ying tried to find topics to discuss, while Mo Rao answered whatever he asked, but she didn’t say much. Their relationship was as distant as that of casual acquiantances.
After a while, Zhang Zhe came out and called for the two of them to eat. The dining table was filled with sumptuous food. Mo Rao immediately stood up to help scoop the rice. Seeing this, Fu Ying followed behind her to help.
When Zhang Zhe saw the awkward interaction between the two of them, he sighed. When it was time to eat, Mo Rao specifically chose the seat furthest away from Fu Ying and sat opposite him.
“Come, eat.” Auntie Zhang enthusiastically picked up some food for Mo Rao.
“Thank you, Auntie Zhang. You’re welcome. I’ll scoop food for myself.” Mo Rao quickly thanked her.
Auntie Zhang nodded with a smile and then picked up some food for Fu Ying. Fu Ying thanked her, then ate in silence.
Zhang Zhe found some topics to cheer things up, but Mo Rao and Fu Ying ignored each other. Mo Rao wouldn’t answer questions Fu Ying answered.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward during the meal. Halfway through, Fu Ying’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Qu Ru. His expression immediately turned ugly.
However, he had no choice but to answer it. He stood up and went to the balcony to answer the call.
Seeing his deliberate avoidance, Mo Rao guessed that the person who called was Qu Ru.
“Brother Zhang, Auntie Zhang, I’m full. I’ll go back first. I’ll come visit Momo next time.” Mo Rao stood up. She didn’t want to stay with Fu Ying for another moment.
Zhang Zhe couldn’t force her to stay and could only nod. Momo seemed to understand something and stopped crying. He waved at Mo Rao obediently. “Goodbye, Sister Rao Rao.”
Mo Rao touched Momo’s head and left alone.
When Fu Ying returned to the dining table after the call, Mo Rao was already gone. Zhang Zhe told him that Mo Rao had something on and left first.
“Happy birthday Momo. I’ll be leaving now. I’ll visit you next time.” Fu Ying’s mind was on Mo Rao and he immediately chased after her.
However, Mo Rao’s car was no longer outside. Fu Ying got into the car and chased after her as quickly as possible.
Finally, he saw Mo Rao’s car in front of him, waiting for the traffic light at the intersection. He followed closely and honked twice.
When Mo Rao saw Fu Ying’s car in the rearview mirror, she frowned. Why was this man following her?
At this moment, the light turned green. Mo Rao immediately sped up and left, with Fu Ying following closely behind.
When they were about to reach home, Mo Rao stopped and called Fu Ying. “Fu Ying, what do you want?!”
If not for her current identity, she really wanted to get out of the car and question him.
