Chapter 461: New Gossip

Translator: Lonelytree

Mo Xiao could not help but curse in his heart. This wretched girl is getting more and more disobedient!

“This is my movie and you’re an actor I hired. I am capable of replacing you. I told you to rest at the hospital so why didn’t you listen to me? Do you think your wound is too small? Does it not hurt at all?” Mo Xiao’s voice was cold. He glared at Mo Li who didn’t look too well.

“2nd brother, don’t worry. I’m fine.” Mo Li said plainly. “The scenes are all non-action sequences. It won’t hurt the injury.”

Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes dangerously but a strange smile appeared on his lips. Did she just call me 2nd brother? In the past, Mo Li would call him by his name or just a ‘hey’. This was her first time calling him 2nd brother and Mo Xiao’s heart shivered.

Earlier, Mo Yun found Mo Yun and played him the recording of Mo Li calling him big brother. Now Mo Xiao felt slightly better.

“Have you eaten?” Mo Li asked out of habit.

Then Mo Xiao relaxed. The sternness eased up. He said matter-of-factly, “I have not but you’re injured so I was thinking we should just order takeout.”

Mo Li looked at Mo Xiao and realized the man at least had some conscience. If Mo Xiao still ordered her to cook in her current state, then the man truly had no heart.

“But since you can go to work, naturally you can cook too, right?” This was the punishment Mo Xiao had prepared. “From how I see it, you are quite energetic. It’s nice to be young. You recover fast. Go and cook something, I’m hungry already.”

Mo Li opened her lips but no words came out. She was shocked by Mo Xiao’s riposte. However, Mo Li had her own solution. Mo Li answered with a sweet smile and entered the kitchen. She tried to grab the pan but it was too hard to cook with just one hand. Therefore, she made a call. In less than half an hour, Mo Yu rushed over with many takeouts.

“Mo Li, are you alright! I heard that you can’t cook so I brought many takeouts with me!” Mo Yu stood at the door panting heavily. Mo Yu read the news about Mo Li. If not for Mo Yu’s mother, Mo Yu would have gone to the set to beat up the martial arts director.

Mo Xiao was stumped when Mo Li resolved his punishment using this unexpected solution. The food suited his appetite too. There was a plate of coriander beef, a plate of fresh and tender sea bass fillets, a plate of Gumbo, a plate of home-style fried tofu, and the soup was stewed mutton chops.

Mo Li looked at Mo Xiao with a bright smile. “Well, since someone has brought the food for us, we should dig in!” Mo Li was hungry too.

Mo Xiao glanced at Mo Li, who had a smug smile, and Mo Yu who was dumbfounded. Mo Xiao grabbed the remote and started to channel-surf. He was annoyed because they were all news about Mo Li and Tang Ze.

“Wait, didn’t you say you have an accident and you were unable to cook? That’s why you needed me to buy some food for you?” Mo Yu looked at Mo Li.

Mo Li said innocently, “There was an accident. I couldn’t cook and Mo Xiao didn’t know how to cook. Without you, we would have gone hungry tonight.”

It sounded like praise but somehow Mo Yu did not feel that joyful…

Mo Xiao was still flipping through the channels. Mo Yu couldn’t help himself and said, “Mo Li’s movies and dramas haven’t been released yet. No matter how hard you find, you won’t find it.”

“Who said I was looking for her films?”

Mo Li sighed. The boys of the Mo Family were like children. They had to mock each other whenever there was a chance.

Since Mo Yu had arrived, he was too lazy to leave. He walked upstairs to rest. When Mo Li came downstairs, she saw Mo Xiao was still sitting there. He looked deep in thought.

“Don’t you have to work tonight?” Hearing Mo Li, Mo Xiao turned around. Mo Xiao noticed Mo Li’s stiff shoulder and his gaze darkened. Mo Xiao had a feeling that this was more than a simple accident even though the investigation turned up with nothing.

“Go and rest. You need to go back to the hospital for the examination tomorrow.” Mo Xiao sighed. In the end, he was the one who had to persuade Mo Li to go to bed. The two of them returned to their rooms.

…

Early the next morning, Mo Xiao and Mo Yu were in a state of extreme rage. They picked up their phones to contact people in the media industry.

“Do you people have no brain? Delete this news now! Or wait for the lawyer’s letter!”

“Brother, isn’t your family in the media business? What is going on with the news today?”
