Chapter 39: Falling
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mo Yu, who was on the second floor watching her younger brother flirt, forcefully watched Yu Ge's unwavering gaze drift past her eyes. "You useless brat. How have you not done anything for her to fall for you yet?"
Mo Jue looked upstairs and replied to Mo Yu, "You'll scare her off if you keep doing what you did. I have to do it step by step."
Mo Yu sneered. "That's it? You want a wife right? You might as well wait for her till your next life!" Mo Yu went straight to the bedroom after scolding her useless brother.
Yu Ge went back to the bedroom. The first thing she did was roll around a few times while hugging the blanket.
'Yu Ge, Yu Ge, you've lived for two lifetimes. How could you be seduced by a mere pretty boy?'
Yu Ge despised herself for a while, then she went to take a shower. After that, Yu Ge put on a mask and had a video call with Xia Ran.
Both of them were shocked. In Xia Ran's shot, Yu Ge was wearing a black mask, and in Yu Ge's shot, Xia Ran was wearing a white mask. The two of them looked strange in the middle of the night under the light of the bedside lamp.
After a strange silence, Yu Ge was the first to speak. "Ranran, how's your relationship with…"
As expected, Xia Ran, who was on the other side of the camera, flew into a rage out of humiliation. She lifted her face mask and said, "How dare you still ask! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be chased by Mo Jin every day."
Yu Ge was embarrassed and lowered her head guiltily. "I was wrong. It was mainly because I fainted back then. I only found out after I woke up."
Xia Ran also knew that this was not something Yu Ge could control. She waved her hand and gestured for them to move on. She asked, "How're you feeling?"
Yu Ge patted the essence of the facial mask on her face and said, "I've been eating and drinking well these past few days. I seem to have put on some weight."
Xia Ran sneered and said, "If a sheep puts on weight, it will be eaten by a wolf. By the way, how far have you and that sc*m's brother progressed?" Xia Ran hated Mo Jin so much that she did not even call him by his name after this reunion, she immediately gave him the nickname sc*m.
Yu Ge scratched her head in distress and said, "I don't know."
"I don't know if I should agree to it. He's really good to me." Yu Ge was only afraid because of the lingering fear. She did not dare to give it a shot. If she had to give it up after she had it, she would rather not have it from the start.
Xia Ran frowned and suggested, "As your best friend, I naturally hope that you can have a beautiful loving relationship. However, as your manager, I still hope that you can put your career first during this critical period when your career is on the rise."
Yu Ge did not say anything. She was very greedy. She hoped that... her career and love could go hand in hand.
"However," Xia Ran continued, "If you really like him, then go ahead and have unbridled love! It's better to have a passionate love than nothing at all."
After hearing Xia Ran's words, Yu Ge decided to take the initiative. Instead of letting Mo Jue chase after her, it would be better for her to take the initiative in her own relationship.
Yu Ge had always been an active doer. Today, she had specially made a candlelit dinner and prepared red wine.
When Mo Jue saw it, he was extremely surprised. He asked Yu Ge, "Is today an important day? Why does it feel different today?"
Yu Ge's skin was fair and tender these days. She had also put on delicate light makeup. She looked elegant and dignified. She held the wine glass in her hand, she said to Mo Jue, "Mo Jue, today is the first day of the second month that I've known you. In the past month, thank you for your help."As she said this, without waiting for Mo Jue to say anything, she downed the wine in one gulp.
Mo Jue had witnessed her alcohol tolerance the last time. Seeing that Yu Ge drank so much, he advised her, "Drink less. It's not good to drink too much. Eat more vegetables instead."
Yu Ge shook her head and blushed. She said, "No, this is a wine of gratitude. I won't get drunk."
"... I think you're drunk even right now."
