Yao Lili had no comeback to Mo Xicheng's remark.
She frowned again and said, "But I did also say you must keep a low profile. Your movie has started screening and it's getting a lot of attention. If you get more exposure and Mo Zhi finds out about it, he'll think that you're trying to compete with him."
"So what? You want money but you don't let me become popular, so how am I going to earn this money?"
Yao Lili was stumped. Choking for an answer, she frowned and said, "Isn't the money that you're getting from playing supporting roles enough for the two of us to spend?"
"You mean it's enough for you alone." Mo Xicheng's tone was expressionless, but the disappointment and despair he felt was unmistakable.
He lowered his head and said, "So that as long as you're alive, I'll have to look after you. Then for the rest of my life, I won't have to get married, have children of my own and have a life of my own, is that right?"
