Unbelievable. Lan Xing was stupefied. Mo Zhexuan walked pass her and went straight to Lu Jingyi. She girtted her teeth.
How could he do this to her? She was still his childhood friend. Did that mean she lost without even trying? No, she won't give up.
"Brother Xuan, it hurts. My face hurts. I might be disfigured. I know Jingyi didn't do it on purpose but how could I go on acting with my swollen face?"
Lan Xing tugged on Mo Zhexuan's shirt and cried more pitifully. But Mo Zhexuan slapped her hand away.
That damn pretentious bitch!! Lu Jingyi wanted to give her an applause for continuing acting even though she was exposed.
How dare she accused her!? She will show her what it means by truly accused people. Lu Jingyi knelt down in front of her.
"Since you accused me for slapping your face, let's not let your accusation go to waste."
Lu Jingyi proceeded by giving a hard slap on her other side of her face.
"I don't like being accused for nothing. Now, I really slapped you. See, you did not wrong me. Oh, and now both of your cheek have hand prints. It's even now."
Lu Jingyi smiled mockingly and looked at Lan Xing like a fool.
Lan Xing did not expect she was slapped by her and it hurt so much. How much strength did she put in that slap!?
Then, Lan Xing looked at Mo Zhexuan, However, he looked at her coldly as if she was a stranger.
"Since your face is swollen, all your work will be pass on to the other actresses."
Mo Zhexuan gave an eye signal to Assistant Yan to deal with it.
With just one sentence, Lan Xing almost lost her career. Mo Zhexuan held Lu Jingyi's hand and walked out of the restaurant.
"Miss Lan, a friendly advice. Please refrain from doing something stupid and reckless. And please do not hurt or offend Miss Lu. You already know she is my boss's bottom line. If Miss Lan do it again, it will not be just a few days rest of your career."
Assistant Yan gave Lan Xing one last look before he left.
.....
The mood between them was dampened. Lu Jingyi gave a side glance at Mo Zhexuan and saw him having a gloomy expression.
"Are you angry?"
Upon hearing the question, Mo Zhexuan stopped in his track and looked at Lu Jingyi. Lu Jingyi assumed he did not heard it clearly and asked again.
"Are you angry? Angry at me slapping your childhood friend?"
Mo Zhexuan sighed and looked into Lu Jingyi's bright and clear eyes.
"You are more important. I do not wish you to get hurt. Although she was my childhood friend but she tried to accuse and hurt you. I won't forgive her. I will make sure she face her consequences."
"Okay, I believe you."
Lu Jingyi gave him a bright smile.
"Did your hand hurt? You don't need to slapped her yourself next time, it will dirty your hand. Let me handle it."
Mo Zhexuan touched her hand which was still a little numb from the slap, gently rubbed it.
The gentleness of Mo Zhexuan was making Lu Jingyi felt warmth and secured. Her lips curled up and she was very happy to know him.
It's been a while a man would care for her this gentle. Even Bai Liancheng couldn't compare to Mo Zhexuan's sincerity towards her.
Oh damn. She might cry. She then pounced on Mo Zhexuan and gave him a hug. The fragrance on his body was soothing her mind and body.
Mo Zhexuan was stunned for while before hugging her back. Both of them hugged each other for a long time.
It was the best moment of the day.
