Mo Shaoting smiled and nodded. He hadn't intended to hide it from her, but there had been too many people gathered around the fire. If he'd stayed there, he would have caused a riot.
That was why he'd sneaked away alone. Fortunately, his agent had been waiting at the back door of the University to meet him. Mo Shaoting's face was covered in black dust, which disguised his identity.
That was how he escaped quietly.
"I happened to go to the University to apply for a suspension, and I just happened to bump into you."
"You're not angry with me?" She had rejected him that day. To a man, it was a matter of pride.
He should be angry.
"I'm not angry. Sister Aiai is doing this for my own good. I know.
She looked at him with amusement and heartache, not knowing what to say.
Mo Shaoting's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, I know. Um, I'll try my best to rush over...female companion? I'll think of something. Don't worry, you don't have to pick me up. I'll go over myself."
Mo Shaoting hung up the phone and sighed.
She was worried. "What's wrong?"
Mo Shaoting wanted to say something but hesitated. "Forget it, Sister Aiai, this has nothing to do with you. I'm very happy that you came to see me. I'll let you go."
Mo Shaoting had saved her from the fire. She owed Mo Shaoting him a favor in return. Now that she knew that he was in trouble, how could she abandon him and leave without a care?
"You're injured. Do you still want to go out?"
Mo Shaoting smiled and stood up. He picked up his garment bag and walked towards the bedroom. He had only taken two steps when his body started to totter. She quickly went forward to support him.
"I don't have a choice. There's a dinner party that I have to attend tonight...I can't refuse the invitation."
"But your wounds..."
"Sister Aiai, I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to do. I'll send you home. My job has nothing to do with you."
Even though Mo Shaoting had been speaking very tactfully, she still understood what he meant.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" she said, taking the bait.
Mo Shaoting suddenly stood up and looked down at her. "If I say there is, will you help me, Sister Aiai?"
She frowned and paused. "If a friend can help, I will help you."
Mo Shaoting was stunned.
While she was changing into her gown in Mo Shaoting's bedroom, she couldn't decide whether she had made the right decision or not...
The little black gown happened to be her size. Could it be a coincidence?
However, she would never believe that Mo Shaoting, whom she had known from high school until now, would play tricks.
Would Jin Di go to King's Group's Glory World Banquet?
No way. Didn't he avoid such occasions at all cost?
Moreover, Mo Shaoting had also agreed that he would not appear in front of the cameras. She only needed to help him to go in and shake hands with the shareholders of the organizer, helping him not to make a fool of himself in front of those people.
He promised that he would not let this matter spread any rumors. Moreover, he was not the focus of the event. He could just show his face and leave.
That was why she had agreed.
However, since she had agreed, she did not intend to hide it from Jin Di.
Lying was an act that she despised very much.
Moreover, Mo Shaoting had saved her life, so it was not too much for her to repay him in this way. She felt that as long as she could explain it to Jin Di, he would understand.
Although he was usually overbearing and cold, he was actually a very reasonable person.
Otherwise, he would not have forgiven her without saying anything about what happened to her mother last time.
With this thought in mind, she took out her phone and wrote the whole incident of her accompanying Mo Shaoting to King's Group's s Glory World Banquet in a text message to Jin Di.
