"Um, I'm sorry. This was reckless of me..."
Sensing Jin Di's anger, Mo Shaoting hurriedly apologized, afraid that Zuo Aiai would be implicated in his mistake.
"Young Master Mo, I know that you're a person of status. You shouldn't have done such a reckless thing. Once it becomes a scandal, it will have a negative impact on both you and King's Group. But I really can't in good conscience just pretend that I didn't see what happened today and let it go."
Jin Di said this in a tone of icy professionalism.
Zuo Aiai looked at him silently, unsure how to explain the situation she was in. To be honest, she had never had any romantic feelings for Mo Shaoting.
She had always treated him like a younger brother, but here he was, suddenly confessing his love to her. Even she was caught off guard.
Besides, with Jin Di's status and power, if he wanted to crush the career of an artist, it would be no more difficult than crushing an ant.
She was already planning to reject Mo Shaoting. If she allowed any room for misunderstanding...
Then she would really be in deep trouble!
"I'm sorry. Actually, this was all just a joke. Don't misunderstand. We'll leave now," she said.
Under the circumstances, it would be impossible to explain anything to Jin Di alone.
She grabbed Mo Shaoting's hand tightly and walked towards the elevator.
Mo Shaoting explained anxiously from behind her, "Sister Zuo Aiai, I'm not joking. What I said is true. I really want to be with you!"
Feeling Jin Di's hot gaze following closely behind, she really wanted nothing more than to knock Mo Shaoting out with a punch.
Walking out of the Ocean Observation Tower, she stood in front of Mo Shaoting's Lamborghini and did not get into the car. Seeing the strange expression on her face, Mo Shaoting looked despairing.
"Zuo Aiai, I know...I was in too much of a hurry, I just..."
"Mo Shaoting, really, I'm very surprised that there's been such a misunderstanding between us. Things between Chen Ziyi and me are indeed over, but...I'm not in the mood to start a new relationship for the time being, let alone with you."
"What do you mean, let alone with me?" Mo Shaoting looked hurt.
She couldn't bear it, but she also knew that if she didn't explain everything now, he would only be hurt more in the future!
"I'm sorry, for so many years, I've always treated you as my own brother. I also thought that you've always treated me as your elder sister. I thought that things could go on this way forever..."
"I don't want to be your younger brother!" he interrupted her hysterically.
She paused and shook off his hand that was holding hers. "Forget it, you drank too much beer earlier. It's getting late. You go back on your own, I'll get a taxi."
"No!" The hand that she had just shaken off was now gripping her forearm tightly.
The young man who used to hide behind her and rely on her protection now had such great strength in his palm.
She struggled but could not break free. The wound that Chen Ziyi had left on her wrist was still there, and Mo Shaoting now pressed it on the same spot. It was so painful that she almost cried.
"Mo Shaoting! Let go of me!"
"No! Zuo Aiai, I'll let you know today that you've never been my sister in my heart, not for a moment!"
She had never seen this cold expression of Mo Shaoting's, as if he was a starving beast...
He pressed her against the Lamborghini's car door...
She froze, but Mo Shaoting pulled her chin up to him roughly, as if he had gone mad, and kissed her fiercely.
