Chapter 917: Mo Bai Extra 7, could it be Director Xiao’s illegitimate child?

“What did you say?”

Far away in Kyoto at the Jinxiu Garden, Fang Kaiying’s voice sharply spiked upon answering the phone, “Why? Why aren’t they coming anymore? What’s the reason?”

“…”

It wasn’t clear what was said on the other end of the phone.

Fang Kaiying shrieked loudly and then furiously threw her cell phone out.

It hit the floor, making a jarringly loud noise.

Not satisfied yet, she reached out, grabbed a cup from the coffee table, and smashed it violently.

Soon, the commotion brought a knock on the door.

A well-dressed lady in home attire quickly pushed the door open and stepped in, glancing around the room. Ruan Qiyang’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, “Kaiying, what happened?”

Fang Kaiying didn’t speak, just puffed up her cheeks in an unhappy manner.

“Why are you smashing cups all of a sudden? And even threw your cell phone?” Ruan Qiyang approached, “Who upset our little princess? Tell mom.”

Fang Kaiying pursed her red lips, “My boyfriend had agreed to fly over and join me at tomorrow night’s awards ceremony. But just now his secretary called to say something unexpected came up and he can’t make it. Can’t I be upset?”

Hearing this, Ruan Qiyang couldn’t help but laugh helplessly, “Kaiying, how many times has mom told you? You’re only nineteen; don’t talk about having a boyfriend …”

“But I really like him!” Fang Kaiying whined.

This so-called boyfriend had been mentioned by her daughter six months ago.

But when Ruan Qiyang asked for his name, where he was from, and what he did, Fang Kaiying kept it secret and wouldn’t tell.

Since she ran her itinerary completely, and her agent listened only to her, Ruan Qiyang didn’t take it too seriously.

It’s normal for a young girl at the awakening of romantic feelings, especially in the entertainment industry, to be attracted to good-looking men. It wasn’t unprecedented …

Ruan Qiyang asked, “Is he from the industry? Are you keeping it a secret from mom because you’re afraid mom might approach him?”

Fang Kaiying quickly waved her hands, “No, no, he’s not from the industry. He … works in investments; he’s really impressive, a chairman of a listed investment company.”

Chairman?

Ruan Qiyang’s eyebrows instantly knit together, “How old is he?”

Fang Kaiying answered cautiously, “He’s ten years older than me …”

Thinking that the chairman must be at least in his early forties, Ruan Qiyang although relieved, still looked displeased, “So, he is already thirty then?”

“No!” Fang Kaiying hurriedly denied, “He isn’t thirty yet, he is twenty-nine this year, and only after his birthday will he …”

“Does it make a difference between twenty-nine and thirty? You’re only nineteen this year, and he’s a whole ten years older than you! Kaiying, you must not be deceived by an older man. Mom has told you, in this world, men are unreliable, especially those in business …”

“That’s not true! He is reliable! And he would never deceive me!” Fang Kaiying asserted confidently.

She had first met Xiao Yebai at the Nancheng International Airport.

At the time, she had to return to Kyoto unexpectedly to attend an event, so she had asked the director Yan Shunhua for two days off.

Little did she know that the day she returned to Nancheng, as soon as she got off the plane, Xiao Yebai suddenly rushed over, grabbed her arm, and looked at her with eagerness and deep affection.

Although Xiao Yebai left soon after, and she took a flight back to the film city to continue shooting, she could never forget the man’s gaze that day.

She had thought it was just a chance encounter, but six months later on Christmas Eve, the movie officially premiered at Nancheng International Cinema.

As the supporting actress, she gathered with the creative team to attend the movie’s premiere event.

At the event, she saw him again.

It was then she learned that he was the president of Mo Group, having been invited by his good friend, President Gu of Gu Media, to show support.

Fang Kaiying was thrilled and immediately asked her agent to introduce her to him.

However, Xiao Yebai’s reaction was cold; he barely glanced at her, didn’t speak to her, and left the venue after just a few minutes.

Fang Kaiying had grown up surrounded by praise and was loved by everyone in the entertainment industry as the darling Little Princess. When had she ever been treated with such indifference?

Unwilling to give up, she extended her stay in Nancheng for a few more days, searching online for any information about him, trying in vain to create a chance encounter.

But Xiao Yebai was just as the rumors described, as cold as a mountain and aloof from women, even preventing her from entering his company.

After all, Fang Kaiying was a young female star, not yet of age, and despite the beginnings of infatuation, she couldn’t bring herself to make the bold moves other women might.

So, she had no choice but to return to Kyoto, and for the next two years, she didn’t visit Nancheng again.

Life in the showbiz industry changed rapidly; she engaged in various entertainment projects arranged by her parents, dedicating herself entirely to her career.

Until six months ago, when the collaboration between Fang Media and Gu Media was suddenly canceled. At a bidding event for Fang Media, she accompanied her father and once again encountered Xiao Yebai, who had come with President Gu.

She remembered it was evening when she wore a bright red, European-style vintage court gown, complete with a diamond tiara, looking like a princess from a castle.

Like many men at the event, Xiao Yebai’s eyes fixed on her the moment he saw her.

Later, he accepted the dinner invitation for that evening.

After the dinner, he even had his assistant contact her agent, proposing to invest specifically in a movie for her.

However, he wanted to be involved in the movie script and oversee the shooting details, including many of the scenes’ settings, costumes, and makeup.

Fang Kaiying, of course, immediately agreed.

After all, it was Mo Group’s first venture into the film industry, a major publicly-listed company, and given his personality, he was certain to accept nothing less than success. Thus, his stringent demands for the film were perfectly reasonable, and she could fully cooperate.

Since then, the two of them had been in contact.

Even though Xiao Yebai always communicated through his assistant or secretary about movie-related details, and even though they had never dated or even held hands…

But…

What did that matter?

Fang Kaiying felt that if Xiao Yebai had not fallen in love with her at first sight, he would not have initiated contact through his assistant, nor would he have agreed to the dinner, and certainly not proposed investing in a film for her.

Regarding the film, she had privately mentioned it to her father, who happily agreed.

Everything was nearly ready; the red carpet show tomorrow would have been the perfect official announcement for the movie, but she had just unexpectedly received a call from Secretary Xu, informing her that Xiao Yebai had an urgent matter, his flight tonight was canceled, and he couldn’t come.

“Mom,” Fang Kaiying thought, then, taking Ruan Qiyang’s hand, she cooed, “He was actually going to come for the film festival this time, and I wanted to introduce you to him. He’s really different from others in the circle; he’s extremely gentlemanly, elegant, and not only successful in business but also very knowledgeable about the art of film…”

“What does an outsider know about the art of film?” Ruan Qiyang was unimpressed.

Having been in the industry for a long time, she had seen many capitalists who threw money at people, and she felt her daughter was blinded by love.

“Anyway, when the movie script is out, you’ll see, Mom. He really is a very talented man,” Fang Kaiying pleaded earnestly on behalf of her boyfriend.

Ruan Qiyang shook his head, “Anyway, just remember what mom said, until we meet, you are not allowed to have excessive physical contact with him, and definitely no private interactions…”

“I know,” Fang Keying stuck out her tongue.

She wouldn’t have the chance to do such things even if she wanted to, really…

**

The next day, at nine in the morning.

The secretary’s office on the sixtieth floor of Mo Group was a hubbub.

“Lili, quick look at the TikTok I sent you.”

“Saw it, saw it…”

“Isn’t it super cute?”

“I’m about to be charmed by his cuteness. He looks like a doll when he’s not smiling, like a little moon when he does!”

“Right? It’s so healing!”

“What’s his name?”

“His name is Nuonuo…”

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Suddenly, there were a few knocks on the door.

As the two junior secretaries, engrossed in their discussion, looked up, they saw Secretary Xu standing at the doorway, next to him, standing tall and imposing in his suit, was Xiao Yebai…

It wasn’t just them, everyone else’s faces changed instantaneously as well.

Although Xiao Yebai didn’t speak, he simply instructed, “Send me today’s workflow later.”

“Yes, Chairman,” Secretary Xu promptly responded.

As Xiao Yebai’s stern and rigid figure left, the secretary’s office instantly erupted into a wail.

“Secretary Xu, didn’t you say Chairman Xiao was going to Kyoto on a business trip today?”

“Exactly!”

“I’m ruined, will Chairman Xiao fire me?”

“It’s over, it’s all over…”

Secretary Xu entered his office, “How many times have I said not to do other things during work hours!”

A junior secretary, on good terms with him, complained, “Just took a second to watch TikTok, who knew Chairman Xiao would suddenly show up… Secretary Xu, what happened, didn’t you say Chairman Xiao was going to Kyoto on a business trip?”

“The trip was canceled,” Secretary Xu sat down next to her, “Chairman Xiao is already feeling better, the trip has also been canceled. Keep it tight these next few days.”

“Got it.”

Secretary Xu turned on his computer, logged into WeChat on his computer, and immediately saw the video posted, “How many times have I said not to post irrelevant videos in the work group…”

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention when I sent it, it’s too late to recall it now,” said the same junior secretary.

Secretary Xu shook his head.

“Secretary Xu.” The junior secretary leaned over, “Take a look at the video.”

“I need to prepare the Chairman’s schedule…”

“It’s just a few seconds,” the junior secretary urged, “Quickly watch it, it’s related to the Chairman.”

On hearing it was related to the Chairman…

Secretary Xu looked up to make sure the Chairman hadn’t returned and quickly played the video.

With joyful background music, the video showed a cute Chinese toddler about two or three years old, dressed in adorable denim overalls. It seemed to be taken sneakily; at first, he was not looking at the camera but was earnestly playing with toys resembling Lego on a sofa.

Suddenly, after a special effect, the little boy turned his little head toward the camera; his features were delicate and beautiful, and his dark eyes innocent and pure. A second later, he broke into a wide smile.

“How about that?”

Secretary Xu coughed twice, “Well, he is quite adorable.”

He was over thirty years old, married with a son who was just four years old.

As a father seeing such a cute and pretty child, he was not stingy with his praise.

“The point is, don’t you think he looks a lot like our Chairman?” the junior secretary exclaimed shockingly.

Secretary Xu was startled.

“Everyone just now thought so, especially when he’s not smiling, he really resembles him a lot!”

Secretary Xu busily replayed the video closely.

The junior secretary moved closer, pointing, “Look at these eyes, this nose, and this mouth… doesn’t it really feel like he looks just like our Chairman…”

Secretary Xu, while watching, nodded, “He does look quite similar.”

“Right? Just don’t know what Chairman Xiao looked like as a child, never seen him smile either. Could this be Chairman Xiao’s illegitimate child…”

“What are you talking about!” Secretary Xu hastily interrupted, “Chairman Xiao is currently single.”

“I know, but didn’t Chairman Xiao divorce the Little Princess three years ago…”

“Shush.”

A flurry of footsteps approached.

The secretary’s office instantly fell silent.

Very soon, Xiao Yebai came up to the doorway of the secretary’s office, “I am stepping out for a bit, call me if needed.”

“Yes, Chairman,” Secretary Xu hastily got up.

Before he could finish speaking, the man had already swiftly turned and left.

The junior secretary, surprised, “Why did Chairman Xiao leave just after coming to the office?”

“How would I know?” Secretary Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since he began taking over Assistant Zhong’s duties, just a few days in, he felt an immense pressure and struggled to sleep at night.

Moreover, these last few days Chairman Xiao had been merely working remotely from the hospital…
