Chapter 61: How Dare You Go On A Hunger Strike!?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as the lady got up from the dining table and prepared to leave, the man flew into a rage.
“Ye Erruo, how dare you go on a hunger strike!?”
Her mouth twitched slightly. Hunger strike? Didn’t he see me eating just now? Was I consuming air earlier?
“You haven’t been eating well today. Go back and sit down.”
She could not escape his voice regardless of which corner she tried to hide inside Zhuang Ge Residence. In the end, she went to the bathroom, changed clothes, and ran out.
Mo Jiangye, who was at the other side of the world, was so upset that he broke countless pens when he discovered what she was doing.
“Young Madam, where are you going?” Bo Yu appeared in front of the woman in an instant.
“Get lost!”
Without mincing his words, he told her straight up, “Young Master has left word to forbid you to step outside the house.”
She left out a snort. While standing beside the hunchman, she fixed her gaze on the chap without a word. The man, unfazed, returned the stare with his back ramrod straight.
“Erruo, speak to me and I’ll let you out. Say anything.” While looking at the woman on the screen, he tried to call a truce.
Now, all he asked was that she speak to him. Anything, even if it was just a word. He missed her voice so much!
His man was struck dumb on the spot.
Young Master… What has this woman done to you again?
Somewhere inside, her chest was hurting again. This man had gone back on his word once more. He had clearly told her earlier that she would be free to go after drinking that bowl of novel broth. Now, he had come up with yet another demand. What a man!
While looking at her increasingly sullen face, the man finally heaved a sigh of resignation and said, “Come back early.”
Bo Yu stood there, staring in disbelief with wide eyes.
“Bo Yu will not be following you. You can go anywhere you like, even to the bar. Don’t feast unnecessarily out there, though. You have to be back by ten.”
Her eyes lit up. Great!
The moment she ran off, Mo Jiangye made a decision.
“Make some ginger tea with red dates and a hot water bottle for her. Also, prepare some oriental motherwort concoction and painkillers. When she’s back, make sure she gets a hot bath immediately so she won’t catch a cold.” She was still experiencing excruciating pain at night so she would need medication if she could not bear the pain!
His words astounded his man, who had never seen him talk so much in a day.
“Stalk her quietly. Don’t let her find out. She should be back in an hour,” he added.
“Understood.”
Narrowing his eyes, he issued one last order. “And don’t ever appear before her again.”
Bo Yu could not help feeling a stab in his chest. “Understood.”

The KG mega-theater was crowded as usual toward the end of the month.
As the stylist was applying make-up on Gu Feirou, she was swiping her cell phone screen with a look of displeasure. Ye Erruo’s fans had been twice as many as hers even before her debut.
Not only did the online news not deflect her friend’s popularity, but her fan base had increased instead. Was someone helping her secretly? Don’t tell me it’s Mo Jiangye?
Her beau, Jingxuan, was often nowhere in sight nowadays. He seemed to be looking for someone and took no interest in her affairs whatsoever. He no longer displayed any adoration for her, as if she was a thing of the past. Somehow, she had a feeling that he was hiding something from her.
“Are you done?”
Gu Feirou heard the question and snapped her phone shut. “Director Lee.”
The man was stunned by her gorgeous looks. “Good. I’m good.”
“The show will start at 8, so there’s still 20 minutes to go. Have a look at the lyrics again.”
“Alright, noted! Oh, Director Lee, I was told that the company tried to get a starlet on board?”
“The company is trying to get a young girl in to form a duo with you, but that youngling was audacious enough to decline.”
The star heaved a silent sigh of relief. “She might have set her sights too high.”
Director Lee remarked arrogantly, “That shameless adulterer should be grateful that a company like ours wants to sign her on.”
Gu Feirou’s lips formed a faint grin. “That’s true. A marriage wrecker shouldn’t set high standards.”
