Chasing a Woman

After Yu Ge finished frying the eggs, she scooped them into the plate and turned off the fire. She then asked, "What did you say just now?"

Mo Jue's face was a little dark.

Yu Ge pointed at the music she played before she started cooking. "I couldn't hear you well, the music was too loud."

Mo Jue's face finally looked better. He took the meal and walked toward the dining table.

After the two of them sat down, Mo Jue looked at his scallion pancakes and fried eggs. He then looked at the vegetable juice in Yu Ge's hand and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

Yu Ge shook her head. "The calories are too high. I'll just drink this."

Mo Jue had a disapproving look on his face. "You're pretty thin you know that?" When he held her waist just now, he realized that there was not much meat.

Yu Ge took a sip of the vegetable juice and said, "Being thin is an essential part of being a female celebrity. Once you're on camera, every lump of fat I have will be shown on screen. The chubbier I look, the less beautiful I become." 

Mo Jue could not understand the female celebrity's obsession with her figure and beauty. He could not persuade Yu Ge to eat and could only eat his scallion pancakes silently.

"Oh! Right, what did you ask me in the kitchen just now?" After Yu Ge finished drinking the vegetable juice, she was elegantly tidying up her appearance with a small mirror.

Mo Jue took a sip of milk and said, "I asked if you needed a boyfriend."

The small mirror in Yu Ge's hand fell to the ground with a thud and shattered into pieces.

Mo Jue seemed to feel that he had not made himself clear enough, so he continued, "I like you. Yu Ge, be mine."

Mo Jue had this extremely handsome face as he spoke with a serious expression. Very few girls could resist his charm. Yu Ge was stunned for a while before she recovered. "Second master Mo, don't joke around. My foster parents aren't here anymore."

Mo Jue was especially serious. "I'm not acting or joking. I'm serious."

Yu Ge was also very serious. "Mo Jue, we've only known each other for less than a day." Yu Ge had been scammed in her past life. She could no longer believe in the so-called love at first sight.

Moreover, even if it was her parents and family who had raised her for more than 20 years, everything was fake. Even one's own family members could betray them. How would Yu Ge dare to trust others so easily?

Mo Jue said, "Feelings can be cultivated. Whether it's suitable or not, we'll only know after we get to know each other further."

Yu Ge fell silent.

Mo Jue was right. Yu Ge could easily admit that she did not hate Mo Jue. Excluding the advantages of external conditions and status, Mo Jue was indeed a good man. He was calm, careful, decisive, and principled. He could give women the sense of security that they wanted the most.

He was in a high position, yet he was able to help a stranger in need. Furthermore, he could completely stay out of today's matter. Even if he appeared, he could use his identity as a friend. However, in order to shut Yu Ge's parents up… In order to prevent Yu Ge from being forced into a marriage alliance, he even risked his reputation and pretended to be her boyfriend so that she could avoid a big blowout.

He did everything that a good friend might not be able to do.

Yu Ge was indeed very grateful and touched. If she was the Yu Ge from her previous life — innocent and unknowing — she would definitely be moved and have easily fallen in love with such a person.

However, Yu Ge had already been reborn. She had a career to strive for, friends to protect, and biological parents to find. She had too many things that she needed to do. It was impossible for her to stop just because of one person.

Yu Ge basked in thought for a moment before saying, "Mo Jue, thank you for liking me, but I can't agree to it. Besides, my career is on the rise, and I can't fall in love. The agency doesn't allow me to do that either."

"I've anticipated such a response. I can wait."

Yu Ge sighed and could only settle for the next best thing. "How about this? Although I, Yu Ge, am like this, I'm still a big star. Second Master Mo, how about I give you three months to impress me?"

"Okay."
