The two men’s eyes met midair and sparks flew.
After a while, Wei Yangyun was the first to look away, and Mo Yanzhi also withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Shu again.
It had been several days since they last met.
After dealing with the online problem and warning the instigators, Mo Yanzhi couldn’t wait to come to Li Shu.
Since this was a private island, Mo Yanzhi could not bypass the host and meet the guests directly.
Before meeting Li Shu, he had to meet the owner of this island.
However, he did not expect that Li Shu would come with Wei Yangyun.
“This matter was due to my mishandling, which implicated Young Master Wei. I hope for your forgiveness,” Mo Yanzhi said in a low voice.
“Isn’t this matter caused by Chen Yu? Is there some hidden purpose behind this?” Wei Yangyun rubbed his chin. With the power of the Wei family, he could easily uncover any hidden schemes, regardless of how well concealed they were.
Chen Yu acted in a very secret manner and did not leave any traces directly related to him, however, each link was to discredit Li Shu. If it were the original owner encountering such a situation, he would have had almost no way to fight back. However, he encountered Li Shu. With the 1314 plug-in, no secrets on the internet could be hidden.
No matter how Chen Yu tried to cover his tracks, the evidence would inevitably surface.
“This is my personal matter,” Mo Yanzhi glanced at Wei Yangyun, he would not leave room for any potential competitor who might try to snatch Li Shu away.
Wei Yangyun could clearly understand what Mo Yanzhi meant. Without hesitation, he asserted, “President Mo, this matter also involves me. As the party concerned, don’t I have the right to know some of the inside story?”
Although Li Shu knew all the truth from 1314, he couldn’t reveal it now. Instead, he expressed his confusion, “President Mo, what’s going on exactly? Is there someone else involved in this matter?”
Mo Yanzhi could ignore Wei Yangyun’s question but couldn’t overlook Li Shu. “I came here specifically to talk to you about this matter.”
While saying this, he glanced at Wei Yangyun, indicating that he wished for this person to leave. Wei Yangyun pretended not to notice and sat still, holding his teacup and taking a sip.
Suddenly, Mo Yanzhi’s eyes darkened, he waved his hand and said, “Shu Shu, come sit over here.”
Before Li Shu could react, Wei Yangyun held his wrist and stared straight ahead. “President Mo, what do you mean by this?”
“I thought you should know,” Mo Yanzhi said calmly, no longer suppressing his aura and the strong pressure emanating from him was directed at Wei Yangyun, “Don’t think about what you shouldn’t think about!”
“I’m curious now. When did Li Shu become your person, President Mo? As far as I know, you two have no relationship, right? Oh, by the way, President Mo, isn’t your fiancée still waiting at home?” Wei Yangyun came from one of the four major families in the capital and knew a bit about the affairs of the Mo family, and was also aware of the marriage arrangement between the Mo family and Chen family.
“Young Master Wei, you shouldn’t speak recklessly,” Mo Yanzhi’s eyes darkened, like a coiled cheetah ready to pounce, glaring at the speaker, “How come I don’t know about any fiancée?”
“Is the young lady of the Chen family involved in this matter?” Amidst the tense atmosphere, Li Shu suddenly spoke up.
“Shu Shu, how did you know about that?” Mo Yanzhi asked in astonishment, practically admitting to the matter.
Wei Yangyun also looked at Li Shu in surprise and wondered how he knew about the existence of the young lady of the Chen family. In the main branch of the Chen family, there was only one girl, Chen Wanying, who was spoiled from an early age. She liked Mo Yanzhi, and her infatuation with him was no secret in high society. But Li Shu shouldn’t have known about these things.
“Did she cause you any trouble?” Mo Yanzhi couldn’t sit still anymore. He walked over to Li Shu, pulled him up, and carefully inspected him. Seeing that Li Shu wasn’t injured, his expression became a little better.
Li Shu shook his head. “No.”
For now, there wasn’t any trouble, but who knew about the future.
Mo Yanzhi touched Li Shu’s cheek, his worry evident. It seemed like certain people in the family had to be disciplined, and the matter with the Chen family also had to be addressed.
“Don’t worry, she won’t bother you again.” Mo Yanzhi assured before kissing Li Shu’s forehead gently, not caring about Wei Yangyun’s presence.
Li Shu was surprised by the sudden kiss and pushed away Mo Yanzhi’s hand that was around his waist. “Let go.”
Mo Yanzhi didn’t want to release him. He whispered, “Let me hold you for a while.”
Wei Yangyun watched with a twitching mouth. Was Mo Yanzhi disregarding him completely now? Was he not afraid of him revealing their relationship? Of course, he wouldn’t say anything.
Forget it, show kindness once in a while and be a good Samaritan, “Well, I’ll step out for a moment. You two can talk. Keep track of the time,” Wei Yangyun finally left, leaving the two alone.
Now that the extra person was gone, Mo Yanzhi finally got to sit down with Li Shu as he had wished, and wrapped his arms around him. He buried his face in Li Shu’s neck and sighed deeply. “I missed you.”
The man’s voice was deep and magnetic, making Li Shu soft in the heart. Li Shu was a little distracted and asked, “How long has it been since you rested?”
Mo Yanzhi didn’t expect Li Shu to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, then felt a wave of joy. He nuzzled Li Shu’s cheek with the tip of his nose and asked softly, “Are you worried about me, baby?”
Li Shu felt ticklish from his touch and leaned away. “Why did you suddenly come here? Didn’t you say you had a meeting today?”
During yesterday’s video chat, Mo Yanzhi said that he had a meeting today that could last late into the night. Who would have thought that something like this would happen in between?
‘The meeting is not as important as you,’ Mo Yanzhi thought to himself, but said, “The meeting was postponed, so I came over to take a look.”
He knew Li Shu was resilient, and these matters might not affect him much, but he still couldn’t let it go. He postponed the meeting and rushed here just to see him.
Another point was that he missed the young man. If he missed this opportunity, the next meeting would have to be many days later.
“So how long are you staying?” Li Shu asked, aware that Mo Yanzhi had come specifically for him. Mo Yanzhi came out of genuine love and concern to him, and while he didn’t accept these feelings, he wouldn’t trample on them either.
“I have to leave this afternoon.” It wasn’t easy getting a full day out of his schedule. After returning, there would be a pile of work waiting for him.
Mo Yanzhi came hastily, and left just as hastily. Only a few people in the entire castle knew he had been here. Of course, Qin Ran also knew. After everyone left, Qin Ran approached Li Shu alone and asked about the matter.
“He came for the incident on the internet,” Li Shu answered simply.
As for the family power struggles involved, Mo Yanzhi didn’t mention them, and Li Shu pretended not to know.
“No wonder…” Qin Ran murmured to himself. It wasn’t surprising that the matter was resolved so quickly. If Boss Mo was involved, it made sense.
After a week of shooting, Li Shu and Wei Yangyun flew back to China to participate in the filming of the new episode of “I’m Not a Star.”
“I’m Not a Star” was already popular, and this episode’s guests were all impressive. Especially Li Shu, who brought many surprises. Wherever the show took them, he adapted quickly and found ways to complete tasks efficiently. His mental arithmetic skills were so good that while others were still using calculators, he was already giving the results. Eventually, everyone gave up on using calculators. After all, with someone like him around, who needed them?
Unsurprisingly, Li Shu became even more popular.
When the plane landed, Li Shu refused Wei Yangyun’s invitation to use the VIP passage and ended up being surrounded at the arrival gate.
“Brother Li, what…” The assistant following behind Li Shu was shocked, obviously seeing such a battle for the first time. Qin Ran had returned to China ahead of them, and as this was the first time the assistant was facing such a situation, he was somewhat at a loss.
There were nearly a hundred people standing in front, holding signs with Li Shu’s name on them, with excited expressions on their faces. When they saw Li Shu come out, the crowd erupted.
“Ding…”
Li Shu took out his phone from his pocket and opened it. It was a message from Mo Yanzhi, saying he was waiting at their usual spot. Li Shu glanced at the bustling crowd and replied to Mo Yanzhi’s message.
Li Shu: I[I might not be able to come out for now.]
Mo Yanzhi: [What’s wrong?]
Li Shu: [Fans are here to greet me, and there are quite a number of them.]
Mo Yanzhi: [I’ll send someone over to help you.]
Soon, four tall men appeared at the airport and assisted the airport staff in maintaining order. Instead of leaving immediately, Li Shu chose to stay and sign autographs for the fans who had come to greet him.
The number of fans wasn’t large, and they genuinely liked him. He didn’t want these young people who spontaneously came to pick him up to go to the airport in vain.
He borrowed a set of tables and chairs from the airport staff and set them up in a relatively quiet corner. There, Li Shu had his first interaction with his “Guardian Shu Treasure”.
The fans seemed to have some sort of organization. They were led by a young woman in her 20s with a high ponytail, who kept order along with airport staff.
Many girls were excited to see that Li Shu wanted to sign autographs, and some even cried with joy.
“A girl looks prettiest when she smiles.” Li Shu handed the signed postcard to the tearful girl and said gently.
“Wuuu, Shu Shu, you’re so kind.” The girl took the signed postcard and left, looking back several times with tears in her eyes.
Li Shu quietly instructed his assistant to buy various drinks from the airport convenience store and distribute them to the fans.
The girl leading the fans, Lin Miao, was quite capable. She handed the gifts the fans had brought for Li Shu to the black-clad bodyguards standing next to Li Shu, her eyes red with excitement.
Most of those who came were girls. Before coming, the girls seemed to have an agreement. Except for a few who were too excited, the rest remained rational, and there was no chaos.
There were people coming and going at the airport. With so many people gathered in one place, there would definitely be some meddlesome people coming to join in the fun. Fortunately, the security at the airport is strong enough and there is no trouble.
After signing autographs for all the fans and taking a group photo at Lin Miao’s quiet request, Li Shu left under the escort of the bodyguards sent by Mo Yanzhi.
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and called Qin Ran to report what had happened.
The bodyguards quickly led them towards a certain direction.
“Why didn’t you take the VIP passage?” As soon as he got into the car, Li Shu was pulled into the man’s embrace.
“I didn’t expect fans to come to greet us.” Li Shu had been flying back and forth between China and abroad for some time now, and he hadn’t paid much attention to online news.
As the man played with his fingers, Li Shu murmured, “Brother Qin said he didn’t publicize my schedule, so I don’t know how these fans knew about it.”
“They were probably just waiting there the whole time. Your schedule wasn’t public, but Ming Xuan’s was.”
Mo Yanzhi gently lifted Li Shu’s chin with one hand and lowered his voice. “I’ve come to pick you up multiple times. Don’t I deserve a reward? You signed autographs for all those fans.”
‘I haven’t even received a single autograph.’
