Qiao Moyu slowly lifted the piece of paper that was underneath Xing Yichen's foot. Her lips slightly moved as she greeted Ye Peicheng, "Film Emperor."
Ye Peicheng heard the familiar but polite form of address, he felt like it was a little harsh to his ears.
Ye Peicheng withdrew his gaze and turned around. He began walking out.
Qiao Moyu didn't know if he had misunderstood her so she quickly ran after him. After catching up with him, she said, "Film Emperor, it's not what you think!"
He turned around and deeply gazed at her. Ye Peicheng smiled a smile yet not a smile, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Qiao Moyu was panting when she had caught up with him. Although she didn't feel like she was obligated to explain the situation to him, she also understands that she is now an actress. There will be a big impact on her career as an actress if she has a sex scandal or if there's negative news about her.
Right now, she is working on"The Light Before Dawn"with Ye Peicheng. If her reputation is damaged, it will affect the drama that they are working on together. If the drama is affected, then he will also be affected.
She said, "I'm sorry. That is a personal grudge between us. We don't have an illicit affair or anything. In the future, I will make sure that nothing like this will ever happen again. I will also make sure that it won't affect the crewmembers and the filming progress."
Unknowingly, Qiao Moyu's attitude was very good. But Ye Peicheng felt that his heart was gloomy for no reason at all.
As a result, the two of them stood there at a deadlock until Qiao Moyu's phone rang. The caller id displayed that it was sister-in-law Yu who is calling her.
Qiao Moyu looked around saw that Xing Yichen had already left. Then, she glanced at Ye Peicheng and thought that since he had already seen Luo Luo, there was no point in trying to hide it from him. She slid her finger across the phone screen to pick up the call and answered, "Sister Yu".
Unexpectedly, she heard Luo Luo's tender and milky voice call out, "Mother!"
Qiao Moyu's mouth immediately curved into a smile and soft light overfilled her eyes. She asked, "Baobei, why aren't you asleep? It's already very late."
At this moment, the little guy on the other end of the phone showed an expression like he was caught in the act. His big eyes looked around and he covered his small mouth. Luo Luo began to snore, pretending that he was already asleep.
Qiao Moyu guessed that he was pretending to be asleep. She couldn't help but smile, "Has Baobei already fallen asleep? Then who was it that had called me earlier? Could it be that there is another Baobei at home?"
Luo Luo continued to cover his small mouth with his hands. He looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall and recalled the instructions that Qiao Moyu had given him before she left. She had told him that when the short needle of the clock points to at the little bear, he will have to go to sleep.
Right now, the short needle had long passed where the little bear is. Because he missed his mother, he couldn't fall asleep. So, he asked auntie to call his mother. However, he didn't realize that by calling his mother, he would be exposing the fact that he hasn't fallen asleep.
Will mother say that he isn't an obedient Baobei?
When Qiao Moyu heard the snoring sound from the phone, she can't help but laugh. She asked, "Is it because Baobei misses his mother?"
Luo Luo tightened his grip on the phone. He wanted to talk but he firmly restrained himself from talking.
"Oh, my family's Baobei doesn't miss his mother. But the other Baobei misses his mother because he had called his mother, misses his mother!" Qiao Moyu deliberately teased him, "I have heard the other Baobei's voice. That Baobei's voice is very cute!"
Luo Luo blinked his eyes, he felt very jealous. He couldn't help but say, "It's Luo Luo who missed his mother. There is no other Baobei!"
Qiao Moyu joyfully laughed, "There really isn���t another Baobei? Then who was the person that had answered the phone before?"
"It was Luo Luo!" Luo Luo felt so anxious that he was about to cry, "Mother only has one Baobei and that Baobei is Luo Luo!"
"My family's Luo Luo is the cutest. I was wondering how could there be another Baobei who is just as cute as Luo Luo?" Qiao Moyu praised Luo Luo without any hesitation, "So it was Luo Luo who had answered the phone. I was just thinking, how could there be another Baobei cuter than my Luo Luo?"
The little guy was now shy, but he was unwilling to hang up.
His face turned red, but he doesn't say anything.
Qiao Moyu knew what he was thinking so she said, "Mother misses Luo Luo too. Mother will be able to return home in two days."
Luo Luo became happy when he heard that. He saw the moon outside the window so he said, "Mother, Luo Luo can see the moon."
Qiao Moyu raised her head and looked at the sky. She saw that there was also a curved moon on the dark sky.
Her voice became softer when she said, "The moon that mother sees, is the same moon that Luo Luo sees."
The little guy became ever happier, he excitedly said, "The moon is very beautiful, but mother is even more beautiful!"
"Baobei is very beautiful too!" Qiao Moyu said, "Since the moon is already visible, that means it's very late now. Luo Luo needs to obediently go to bed, close his eyes, and go to sleep. This way, he will be able to grow tall."
The little guy had his wish fulfilled tonight. He was able to hear his mother's voice. Luo Luo happily climbed up his small bed and said, "Mother, Luo Luo is already obediently sleeping! Really!"
Qiao Moyu replied, "Goodnight Luo Luo, have a good dream!"
The little guy's soft and tender voice said, "Goodnight mother! You must dream about Luo Luo! Luo Luo will also dream about mother!"
"Okay, I promise I will!" Qiao Moyu couldn't help but sigh. Luo Luo's world is very simple because to him, his mother is his entire world.
She will watch him grow up. She doesn't want their relationship to drift apart just like how the original story progressed.
When she was putting away his phone, she realized that Ye Peicheng still hasn't left yet.
He was leaning on the tree trunk. The deep atmosphere around them almost fused together with the night scenery.
When he saw Qiao Moyu putting away her phone, he focused his gaze at her again. He asked, "Did you adopt Luo Luo?"
Qiao Moyu didn't know why he didn't suspect that she was the one who've given birth to Luo Luo. She nodded her head, "It can be considered that way." Speaking of the truth, it was the original host of the body who had given birth to Luo Luo. So, she is considered to be adopting him.
"You treat him very well." When Ye Peicheng said that, the light under his eyes was a little complicated.
Qiao Moyu suddenly recalled that the book had mentioned that Ye Peicheng's mother and Ye Peiqing's mother were not the same people.
Ye Peicheng's mother was Father Ye���s first love. But she passed away when she was giving birth to Ye Peicheng. But Father Ye still hasn't forgotten her even after many years.
In fact, Father Ye had an affair with Ye Peicheng's mother at that time. He married Ye Peiqing's mother to connect their families by marriage. The two had only married on the surface but because of an accident, they had Ye Peiqing. Later, when Father Ye met Ye Peicheng's mother, he fell in love. They had Ye Peicheng. On the day Ye Peicheng's mother had died, Father Ye brought Ye Peicheng home.
Because of this, Ye Peiqing and his mother were very resentful to Ye Peicheng. After Father Ye was in an air crash, the mother and son had tried every means to suppress Ye Peicheng.
Although Ye Peicheng has a high status in the entertainment industry, he still can't compete against the Ye Family's business.
Qiao Moyu felt that Ye Peicheng doesn't have any interest in the business world. In fact, he had many opportunities to defeat Ye Peiqing but doesn't seem interested at all.
He isn't just uninterested in the business world, he seemed to be uninterested in many things. Even when it comes to acting, she felt like he was only acting for someone else. But since he already started, he would strive for perfection, allowing him to reach his current status in the entertainment industry.
Qiao Moyu looked at the time. She found out that it was less than a month away from Father Ye's air crash.
She was thinking of a way to change Father Ye's fate when she heard the man next to her call her, "Moyu."
Qiao Moyu turned around, "Yes?"
The man's gaze was abstruse and tranquil under the moonlight, "In the future, don't call me Film Emperor anymore."
"Ah?" Qiao Moyu was baffled, "Then what should I call you?"
"You can call me by my name." Ye Peicheng gaze was fixed at Qiao Moyu's eyes.
Qiao Moyu was a little hesitant. She was only 18 years old when she had transmigrated into the book. She was still at the age where she calls people who were older than her, auntie and uncle.
When she transmigrated into the book, the original host of the body was only 23 years old. She felt that it would be embarrassing and rude if she called Ye Peicheng by his name. After all, if her original body had transmigrated over, then she would be calling him Uncle Ye.
She compromised a little and asked, "How about I call you big brother?"
The moment those words left her mouth, she realized that the title was a little ambiguous. But before she was able to back out, the man next to her had already said, "Okay."
Qiao Moyu became silent for a moment. It seemed like there was no way to back out.
"It's late. It's time to rest." Ye Peicheng said, "Little Moyu, we should return."
Why is he calling her that? Qiao Moyu pretended that she didn't hear him address her that way. She responded, "Okay, let's return."
They walked side by side on their way back to the guest host. When they walked past a small plot of farmland, Qiao Moyu stumbled because of the uneven road. Their arms accidentally touched each other through their thin clothes. When their arms touched, they both could feel the electricity coursing through them from the slight touch.
Qiao Moyu felt a little weird from the touch so she moved a little to the side.
However, she almost fell because the road was too narrow.
Besides her, Ye Peicheng quickly reached out his arm and pulled her over to him. Her soft body hit his hard chest.
She raised her head, "Big brother...Ye"
The tone of her voice was very soft, and in the night, it sounded like the rain in Jiangnan.
Ye Peicheng's Adam's apple slightly moved, "Moyu, if you have any difficulties, you can come and find me. Don't go and provoke Xing Yichen."
Qiao Moyu believed that she doesn't need to 'remind' Xing Yichen about anything else in the future. She believed that it will be a matter of time before Xing Yichen finds out the truth, so, she nodded her head in response.
However, she can't help but ask, "Why do you want to help me?"
Ye Peicheng showed her the bite mark he had gotten from the snake. His eyes were locked on her as he replied, "I want to repay you."
Qiao Moyu bit her lip and laughed, "It's nothing. It was just a slight effort on my side."
"So, you also help other people like this?" Ye Peicheng suppressed the grains of sand that were rising from the bottom of his heart.
Qiao Moyu replied with a smile, "I haven't had the opportunity yet!"
In the past, her big brother had once helped her when she was bitten by a snake. So, she was only doing the same for him.
Qiao Moyu sighed when she thought about her big brother. She really wants to go back to her original world. But if she leaves, what will she do about Luo Luo?
She was a little distressed. When she looked up, she discovered that Ye Peicheng was still holding her waist. She can't help but twist her body a little so he would let go. She said, "We should return."
"Yeah," he replied. He let go of her waist and the two people began walking side by side once again. Their shadows were elongated by the moonlight as they walked back to the guest house.
On the second day, everyone woke up early. Perhaps it's because the air in the mountain is very fresh so when they woke up, they were full of spirit.
Qin Qianqian's ankle was all better after a night's rest. Everyone had breakfast at the dining hall of the guest house. Qin Qianqian and Qiao Moyu were currently together discussing their plans for the day. When they looked up, they saw Xing Wanshuang walking by with one hand pulling Qiao Ruohuan's arm while her other hand was pulling Xing Yichen's arm. She was laughing and telling them jokes but the expression of the two people on her sides appeared to be somewhat stiff.
Qin Qianqian pulled Qiao Moyu close and whispered in her ear, "Did you know President Xing and Qiao Ruohuan quarreled last night?"
"Ah?" Qiao Moyu was surprised, "When did this happen?"
"I think it happened late last night." Qin Qianqian said, "My room is next to theirs, so I heard them arguing last night. I think I heard President Xing came back from the outside. Qiao Ruohuan was standing at the entrance of the corridor. She interrogated him when he returned. Afterward, the two people entered their room. The soundproofing wasn't very good, so I was able to hear them arguing after they entered their room. However, I wasn't able to clearly hear them what they were arguing about."
Xing Yichen began arguing with her when he came back? Qiao Moyu's lips curved into a smile. She thinks she knows why they were arguing.
It must be because Qiao Ruohuan followed Xing Yichen to the woods. Inside the wood, Xing Yichen happened to coincidentally meet her. Therefore, Qiao Ruohuan must've misunderstood Xing Yichen, thinking that there was something between them. So, when Xing Yichen returned from the woods, she had questioned him about it.
In fact, in the original book, Xing Yichen was 100% loyal and devoted to Qiao Ruohuan. The two of them almost didn't have any conflicts. Otherwise, why would the book be called"The Film Queen's Loyal Dog CEO"?
However, it seemed like the plot is getting more and more interesting. The corners of Qiao Moyu's mouth twitched. She didn't expect that she would one day become the pretty and flirtatious fox that would bring conflicts to the male and female lead. However, she doesn't really mind because this gave her a sense of accomplishment!
She pretended she didn't know anything as she said, "Then that's even better! We must work harder and win tomorrow!"
Qin Qianqian said, "Moyu, with you here, I'm not worried about winning or losing!" She turned around and when she saw Ye Peicheng, she greeted him, "Good morning Teacher Ye!"
Why didn't she think of calling him 'teacher' instead? Qiao Moyu was a little annoyed. She smiled at Ye Peicheng and said in a low voice, "Good morning big brother Ye!"
Ye Peicheng deeply looked at her and said, "Little Moyu, good morning.
