A GRAND ENTERING

" I'm sorry, sir. I'm having a headache. I don't think I can watch the movie anymore." Yue ling tease

Mo Shira's face fell, but Yue Ling continued, "What's with that look? Ugh! You're the mighty Mo Shira. You shouldn't be upset because your money just got wasted."

Mo Shira remained silent, and Yue Ling poked fun at him. "I mean, your account is loaded, right? So, it isn't a big deal if you waste some of it. But if you want me to watch while I'm still having a headache, no problem. Come on, let's go sit down..."

Mo Shira relented, "No, no. Come on, let's just go home. Your health is more important, and besides, I don't mind wasting my money at all. It's all for you..."

Yue Ling smiled sweetly. "Thanks, dear. I love you."

Mo Shira replied, "I love you too, Xiao Ling."

Yue Ling was thrilled to have ruined Mo Shira's plans, knowing his intentions. She thought, "Only heavens know what he would do to me if we were left alone here." She smiled devilishly, and Mo Shira caught the mischievous glint in her eye.

Mo Shira thought, "Don't worry, my love. We have a lot of time to do all those things I have in mind once we're married. I'll surely spoil her..."

And with that, they headed home to relax and enjoy each other's company.

FEW DAYS LATER...

The company's anniversary celebration was held at the luxurious "Sparkling Suite" hotel, renowned for its opulence and grandeur. The hall was exquisitely decorated, with guests already seated and mingling, adorned in high-end attire that reflected their wealth and influence. The cream of society from country M and beyond had gathered, sipping champagne and engaging in refined conversations.

Outside, the hotel's exterior was equally impressive, with reporters and camera crews swarming the entrance, eager to capture the arrival of the esteemed guests. The Mo family's limousine pulled up, and the driver emerged to open the door for the dignified family.

First to step out was Grandpa Mo, followed by Madam Mo and then Mo Lin. The rest of the family had yet to arrive. As they entered the hotel, a flurry of camera clicks and flashes accompanied them, with reporters clamoring for attention.

"Will the two brothers be joining us tonight?" one reporter asked, to which Mo Lin replied, "Yes, they'll be here soon. Mo Shira and Mo Jihnu wouldn't miss this special occasion."

With that, the Mo family members made their way into the hotel, leaving the reporters to speculate about the anticipated arrival of the two brothers. The atmosphere was electric, filled with anticipation and excitement for the night's festivities.

Soon a sleek white Maybach pulled up, and Mo Jihnu emerged, dressed in a crisp white suit that accentuated his chiseled features. His radiant smile left the reporters awestruck, with some forgetting to take pictures as they gazed at him in wonder.

"Look, it's Mo Jihnu! He looks incredibly handsome in that suit," one reporter exclaimed.

"I've only seen him in movies before. This is the first time I've seen him in person, and he looks even better than on screen," another reporter added.

A third reporter chimed in, "I wish I were a movie actress. I would have loved to act alongside him."

The first reporter teasingly replied, "Have you seen yourself in the mirror? Stop talking nonsense and focus on your work here."

The reporters then swarmed around Mo Jihnu, firing off questions that he answered graciously, leaving no query unanswered. With his charm and poise, he effortlessly navigated the media frenzy before making his way into the hotel.

As he entered, the room fell silent, with all eyes on him. His presence was undeniable, and his charisma commanded attention. The Mo family's reputation for elegance and refinement was clearly evident in Mo Jihnu's demean

Moments later, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up, but the doors remained shut, piquing the reporters' curiosity. Inside, Yue Ling felt anxious, overwhelmed by the sea of reporters. Despite her experience substituting for Yue Rong, she had forgotten how to navigate such situations. Mo Shira's presence beside her only added to her apprehension, as she knew the reporters would assume she was just another woman he would use and discard.

"Mo Shira, I'm scared. I don't want..." Yue Ling whispered.

Mo Shira reassured her, "Yue Ling, it's okay. You can do this. Just put yourself together. I'm here with you, right, my love?"

Yue Ling nodded positively, and Mo Shira kissed her before telling the driver to open the door.

Once the door opened, Mo Shira stepped out, his face as cold as it always was. The reporters immediately started taking pictures, as he was someone who didn't wait for anyone. If you didn't do what you were supposed to do now, he wouldn't care; he'd just walk past them, and they wouldn't get the opportunity to get any news about him.

But the reporters were curious why he wasn't going inside. They noticed that there was someone inside the car, and as they looked at Mo Shira, he was looking warmly at the person inside. This was really rare for him to do, as far as they knew. He didn't look at any lady like that, except for his mother and sister, whom they were sure were inside right now.

Their minds hit something, and even the people inside were looking at the entrance, curious as to who was inside the car. The Mo family, including Mo Jihnu, heard about the commotion outside and also went to see what was happening. Maybe it's Ye Lyra, they thought. She isn't here yet. I suppose he has fallen in love with her now.

But their minds were blown away when they saw the mesmerizing beauty who came out of the car. She was really beautiful, with skin really smooth. She wore a pitch-colored dress that matched Mo Shira's suit color, as he was also wearing a pitch-colored suit.

The atmosphere was electric, with everyone eager to learn more about this mysterious woman who had captured Mo Shira's attention.

Mo Shira held Yue Ling's hand and walked her inside, but the reporters were too curious about the beauty beside him. They rushed closer, throwing questions at Mo Shira, forgetting that he didn't like being questioned by the media.

"Mr. Mo, is she your new girlfriend?" one reporter asked.

"Which family is she from?" another chimed in.

"Are you no longer with supermodel Ye Lyra?" a third reporter inquired.

"What's the special relationship between the two of you?" another asked.

"Is she your cousin or family relative?" someone else questioned.

The reporters bombarded Mo Shira with questions, but he remained calm and still, his grip on Yue Ling's hand firm. The room fell silent, with everyone eager to hear his response.

Mo Shira began, "She isn't my cousin or family relative, and she isn't my girlfriend either."

The reporters leaned in, sensing a scoop.

Mo Shira continued, "And yes, we have a very special relationship, but you'll have to wait to hear about it. It's a surprise."

With that, he smiled enigmatically and walked inside, Yue Ling by his side. The reporters were left with more questions than answers, their curiosity piqued. The guests watched with interest, wondering what Mo Shira's surprise could be.

Mo Shira began greeting important businessmen who were congratulating him on the company's anniversary. He introduced Yue Ling as his date, and she excused herself to meet some staff members she knew.

"Miss Ling, it seems you and the CEO have a special relationship," one staff member said.

"Are you perhaps dating him?" another asked.

Yue Ling hesitated, but Chu Feng intervened, saving her from answering.

Chu Feng chatted with Yue Ling, and they exchanged pleasantries. A waiter offered them drinks, and Yue Ling found herself feeling comfortable and free around Chu Feng.

Meanwhile, Mo Shira noticed Yue Ling smiling at Chu Feng and felt a pang of possessiveness. He walked over to them, placing his hand on Yue Ling's shoulder.

"Congratulations, sir," Chu Feng said.

Mo Shira replied, "Thanks, Chu Feng. Please enjoy the party."

Mo Shira then turned to Yue Ling, "Come, let me introduce you to some other clients."

As they walked away, Chu Feng thought, "The boss is really possessive over this girl. I'm glad he truly loves her."

Mo Shira whispered to Yue Ling, "Why were you smiling at him?"

Yue Ling pouted, "And why can't I?"

Mo Shira smirked, "Because you're my girlfriend."

Yue Ling teased, "So I can't smile at other men? See, I won't follow your orders."

Mo Shira warned, "Do whatever you like, but don't blame me if I'm a bit too harsh on you later tonight."

Yue Ling playfully called him a monster, and Mo Shira smiled, saying, "But I love you."

Just then, Mo Lin arrived and excused Yue Ling, taking her to meet some fashion industry associates.

Just then, a commotion erupted outside. At the entrance, reporters swarmed around a stunning woman wearing a body-hugging, backless blue gown. She was none other than Ye Lyra, beaming with confidence as she fielded questions.

"Miss Ye Lyra, we heard you traveled to country F for a modeling contest?" a reporter asked.

"Yes, I just returned from the contest and, as you know, I won," she replied, still smiling. "I was invited by Shira, and I'm thrilled to be here."

The reporters pressed on, asking if she and Mo Shira were still together. Ye Lyra's smile broadened as she assured them, "Of course, we are still together. We never broke up. He would have picked me up at the airport, but I told him to carry on, knowing I'd make him late. This is his party, after all."

However, when a reporter asked about Mo Shira's relationship with the mysterious woman he arrived with, Ye Lyra's face paled slightly. She had seen the online posts about Mo Shira and the other woman, and his cryptic comments about their "special relationship."

"She could be his very special friend," Ye Lyra said, trying to maintain her composure.

With that, she entered the party, her eyes scanning the room for Mo Shira and the mysterious woman. The atmosphere was electric, with everyone sensing the tension between Ye Lyra and Mo Shira's new companion.
