Chapter 132: Chapter 132

Hua Xiaomo carried her purse, aimlessly walking down the bustling street. The ceaseless flow of people and cars gradually made her face feel numb.

How many people struggled in life? And how many stood at the pinnacle of this city, looking down on the sorrow and joy of others, their ups and downs, without truly feeling their pain?

Not far away, a glistening red Bugatti Veyron happened to drive past the intersection.

The long-haired man, wearing large black sunglasses, glanced over and unexpectedly saw Hua Xiaomo walking on the roadside not far away.

Xiao Mo? Mo Rutian was startled. He immediately turned the car around at the intersection and drove towards her. However, by an even stranger coincidence, another person’s arm had already landed on her shoulder.

Hua Xiaomo froze for a moment. When she turned her head, she came face-to-face with the radiant smile of a handsome mixed-race man.

"Hua Xiaomo, it really is you!" Zhou Xiyang exclaimed.

Hua Xiaomo looked at him. Whether it was the joy of reunion or something else, her troubles seemed to vanish. She remembered how concerned and caring he had been when they helped him at McDonald’s.

"Zhou Xiyang, I really didn’t expect to bump into you here," Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh.

Zhou Xiyang smiled and pointed to a large shopping mall nearby. "There’s a McDonald’s on the first floor," he said. "I’ve been transferred here as manager, Xiao Mo. We’re much closer now." Orıginal content can be found at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Hua Xiaomo looked towards the McDonald’s. It was much bigger than the one at the Ouhong Shopping Mall near her academy. She nodded. "Congratulations, Zhou Xiyang. It seems you’ve been promoted."

"Hey, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come on, it’s on me!" Zhou Xiyang laughed, removing his arm from Hua Xiaomo’s shoulder.

Hua Xiaomo smiled. She didn’t mind the foreigner’s enthusiasm. In fact, his warmth was infectious, and she didn’t feel as upset anymore.

Inside the spacious McDonald’s, Zhou Xiyang chose a quiet booth for them. They sat opposite each other, chatting and laughing.

The handsome, long-haired man from the Bugatti also followed them into McDonald’s. However, he didn’t approach them. Instead, he chose an inconspicuous spot, ordered a fruit juice, and watched them from a distance.

Is she that familiar with that foreigner? What’s their relationship?

Melancholy shadowed Mo Rutian’s usually bright face. One Qi Longbing was already trouble enough, and now, unexpectedly, there’s more than one rival...

Mo Rutian wore his sunglasses. His long, smooth hair fell across his cheeks, making his handsome features appear even more refined. Dressed in a casual, high-quality white cotton cardigan, he looked like a Prince Charming who had stepped out of a fairy-tale castle—suave and elegant.

Hua Xiaomo quickly relaxed, and they began reminiscing about the good times they had shared at the previous store.

Soon, however, the conversation turned serious. "Xiao Mo," Zhou Xiyang began, a discernible flush on his handsome face, "I wonder... how is he?"

Hua Xiaomo paused for a moment, then offered a gentle smile. "It seems you haven’t called him, have you?"

"Mm," Zhou Xiyang nodded, his gaze somewhat uneasy as he looked at Hua Xiaomo. He suddenly placed his hand over hers on the table, his eyes fervent. "Xiao Mo, can you help me?"

Hua Xiaomo stiffened slightly. Her eyes held a thoughtful look as she calmly said, "Zhou Xiyang, since you’ve chosen him, you should be brave and confess your feelings."

She didn’t withdraw her hand as she spoke. It feels like I’m talking to a sister, she thought. Considering his sexual orientation, I don’t have to worry about anything.

But to another observer, it didn’t look that way at all.

Mo Rutian couldn’t hear what they were saying, but their movements and expressions were clearly visible to him.

It seems... their relationship really isn’t ordinary...

Could it be that this guy is Hua Xiaomo’s boyfriend?

Mo Rutian couldn’t help but feel a surge of suspicion.

Zhou Xiyang looked at her and smiled. "You know, it’s somewhat difficult."

Hua Xiaomo also replied softly, "Of course, it’s difficult..."

Thinking about Qi Longbing’s fiendish personality and erratic temper, coupled with his wealth and status, it would probably be quite difficult for the man in front of me to ’bend’ him.

"So, Xiao Mo, if you’re willing to help me, I’ll have a chance," Zhou Xiyang said, looking at her with eyes full of eagerness. It seemed this longing had tormented him, causing sleepless nights.

Hua Xiaomo looked at him, picked up a chicken leg, and took a bite before asking, "Alright, tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

"Come with me," Zhou Xiyang said, pulling her up and heading towards his office.

Hua Xiaomo didn’t refuse and quickly followed him to his office on the top floor of the McDonald’s.

Mo Rutian’s senses tingled. He immediately stood up and quickly followed them.

Inside the office, once Zhou Xiyang had pulled Hua Xiaomo into the room, he quickly closed the door. Then, he took a neatly packaged ’Light Butterfly’ disc from a drawer and handed it to her.

"Xiao Mo, have him take a look at this first..." Zhou Xiyang said with a smile, pressing the ’Light Butterfly’ disc into her hands. His usually sunny face unexpectedly flushed red.

"Is this... ŸthatŸ kind of disc?" Hua Xiaomo asked, looking at him, somewhat astonished.

However, as for me... well, actually, I’m not what you’d call a ’fujoshi,’ someone who’s into the male-male genre. It’s just that I don’t reject it, and I definitely don’t have any aversion to it. On the contrary, I’m quite understanding of people in that particular community. In fact, society should be more supportive and accepting of them.

"Yes," Zhou Xiyang nodded shyly, then pulled her to sit with him on the nearby sofa.

"But just having him watch this... Will it be useful?" Hua Xiaomo asked, genuinely skeptical.

Showing something to a person like Qi Longbing... who knows what his expression would be? Most likely, he’d just ignore it.

"Xiao Mo, I know it takes time for him to accept this sort of thing, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be successful. Xiao Mo, as long as you help me... just a little bit, I believe we can definitely do it," Zhou Xiyang said, gazing intently at her.

Hua Xiaomo smiled, a hint of understanding in her eyes. "To be honest, Zhou Xiyang, from my perspective, I really do want to help you succeed."

Indeed, if Qi Longbing were ’turned,’ it would be hugely beneficial for me!

"But the key is, I don’t think this disc alone will be enough to... awaken that side of him, you understand?" Hua Xiaomo said with a knowing laugh, not elaborating further.

Hua Xiaomo leaned back lazily against the sofa, her hands clasped behind her head. She looked at the handsome mixed-race man beside her, her mind clearly working on something.
