Meeting You Is My Simple Happiness - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Beginning of Rise to Fame

The smell of braised pork rice lingered around Ye Mu even after she was back home, making her feel uncomfortable. Despite the fact that braised pork rice was truly delicious. Carrying its smell around one’s body would certainly make anyone uncomfortable.

Ye Mu quickly went into the bathroom. After a lot of washing, she was finally satisfied when the smell of braised pork rice lingering on her body wasn’t as strong as it was anymore. Ye Mu dried herself with a towel and as she raised her hand to take some clothes from the rack…

She suddenly realized that she didn’t take the pure white pajamas that she usually wore, but Mo Shen’s white shirt!

Ye Mu’s expression turned red as she stared at the rather large white shirt. She must’ve taken it in a hurry when she returned home and she forgot to take a good look at what she had brought in inside the bathroom.

Ye Mu looked at the piece of clothing in her hand for a good 20 minutes, hesitating whether it was appropriate if she wore it. Should she wear it or not?

Wear? But this is Mo Shen’s clothing. That doesn’t seem right. But if she doesn’t wear it… does that mean that she would have to go out there naked? She couldn’t possibly do such a thing.

After much contemplation, Ye Mu gritted her teeth and put on Mo Shen’s white shirt.

Mo Shen had a height of nearly 1.9 meters tall. When Ye Mu wore his shirt, it reached up to her thighs, transforming the shirt into something that resembled a one-piece dress as it made her long and slender legs stand out.

It has been two hours since Ye Mu went into the bathroom. Mo Shen, who was reading the magazine in his hands, was starting to get worried.

She was still in there, despite it being so long since she went inside. Mo Shen was actually apprehensive if she had fallen asleep in the bathroom.

As he was thinking about his next course of actions, Ye Mu slowly opened the doors of the bathroom. She hesitated before she walked out and stood in front of the bathroom door in embarrassment. Her small face hung as low as it could as she stared on the floor.

“It took the wrong clothes with me…”

Ye Mu’s hair was still slick and wet as it laid on her shoulders. Her delicate face was slightly red from the bath that she had just taken. The oversized shirt on her body made her look especially clean and pure. Her hands that laid on her sides grabbed the hem of the shirt nervously.

She looked incredibly gorgeous, with a sense of cuteness on her.

Mo Shen couldn’t move his eyes away from her anymore.

“I’ll go and change…” Ye Mu walked to the closet cautiously as she looked for her pajamas with her back facing Mo Shen.

Ye Mu, who couldn’t see Mo Shen’s expression at this moment, definitely had no idea how gorgeous she was in his eyes at this point in time.

“Little wife, do you know how attractive you are, right now?” Mo Shen slowly approached her with steady footsteps, his big arms wrapped around her waist as he spoke.

Because of his words, Ye Mu blushed even more. She hurriedly took her pajamas with her and scrambled to the bathroom, “I-I, I’ll go change into my pajamas!”

Mo Shen couldn’t suppress his laughter as he looked at her trying to escape in a hurry. He felt refreshed and thought that teasing her was indeed an interesting activity.

——

The next morning, just in time for the rush hour. Ye Mu was sitting in Mo Shen’s car as she glanced at her watch from time to time. She was in a hurry to film the final scene today, so she looked quite anxious.

But at this moment, the news broadcast on the huge billboard in front of them came to an abrupt halt, it was replaced by an advertisement.

Ye Mu squeezed her hands together nervously. The look on her face alone made her apprehension obvious to anyone.

Mo Shen, who was in the driver’s seat beside her couldn’t relate to her at all. He turned his head to look at her and said soothingly, “Don’t worry, we can make it.”

“Yeah.” Ye Mu replied with a light smile. The red light was still overhead and the wait was starting to get boring. She raised her head to casually glance at the billboard above her, but it instantly caught her attention.

The surroundings were noisy, yet Ye Mu managed to make out a few sentences from the crowd.

“Aye, who’s the girl next to Ye Qiyi? She looks pretty.”

“It looks like she’s a newcomer. I haven’t seen her before.”

“She’s so elegant! So beautiful…”

As Ye Mu looked at herself on the screen and heard other people’s praises, she was a little dumbfounded. She had thought beforehand that she would have to wait for quite a while for the advertisement. She did not expect it to be up there in just under a month.

“Young Uncle.” The corners of Ye Mu’s lips curled up into a smile.

She looked at Mo Shen and pointed to the message on the screen. As soon as Mo Shen looked up, he saw the advertisement that was being played. His thin lips slowly curled up into a smile, and there was a sense of gentleness in his cold eyes, “Congratulations.”

Receiving his words of congratulatory, Ye Mu’s brows curled up. Her smile became even brighter.

The commercial was now being broadcasted and she was also officially done with the filming for the drama. One could consider that she had finally made her debut. However, Ye Mu just hadn’t expected that what would make her popular was the commercial, instead of the drama.

The finale banquet was set in the afternoon, and once it was over…

Everything was done.

In commemoration of the finale, everyone let loose. When they were eating, some people said things that they wouldn’t casually reveal to anyone. It was probably due to the amount of alcohol that they had consumed.

Ye Mu wasn’t a drinker, so she sat at the side quietly. She was checking her phone from time to time, seemingly afraid of missing out on something.

“What’s wrong? Someone’s worried?” Bai Xiao stood behind Ye Mu. She held two glasses of wine and handed one of them to Ye Mu.

She was a little flattered as Bai Xiao had taken the initiative to speak to her.

She quickly took the glass of wine, and the corner of her mouth twitched when she heard her words. However, Ye Mu didn’t take the bait as she did not talk about it.

Bai Xiao also did not ask any further questions.

She raised her own glass of wine and touched Ye Mu’s wine glass, “To you. Your acting skills are very good.”

“Thank you, Sister Bai Xiao,” Ye Mu looked at Bai Xiao politely.

An approval from her idol made her far happier than approval from the director.

Bai Xiao drank the wine in her hand. Even though Ye Mu wasn’t a drinker, she still drank her own glass of wine in order to show respect to Bai Xiao. After downing the wine, her face scrunched up.

“It seems like you’re still young.” Bai Xiao stared at the young and inexperienced Ye Mu, and she could not help but chuckle, “We probably don’t need to say goodbye. There would be more opportunities for us to work together in the future.”

Ye Mu was slightly stunned, confused about Bai Xiao’s words. But Bai Xiao didn’t explain herself. With the glass in her hand, she walked past Ye Mu and walked straight to the director.

Do Bai Xiao’s words represent an adequate approval from her?

Ye Mu drank only a glass worth of wine as she placed the wine glass down. She was starting to get dizzy and she raised her hand to touch her forehead. When she looked ahead of her, she saw a tall man walking in her direction.

“So, we meet again.” Song Zhuochen waved at Ye Mu with a smile on his face.

Ye Mu could still recognize who he was.

She immediately turned around and left. She walked to the sofa and took a seat. She took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Mo Shen, hoping that he could pick her up tonight.

She was really afraid that she would not be able to see what was ahead of her clearly after that glass of wine.

Just after the text message was sent, Song Zhuochen leaned over again and sat beside her, taking his indomitable spirit to the extreme, “You wouldn’t be so petty, to hold grudges about what happened last time, right?”

Because of the alcohol she drank, Ye Mu took a deep breath. By right, Song Zhuochen was her senior in the entertainment industry, but she had never met such an annoying senior. She raised her head and asked him, “Do I know you?”

Song Zhuochen did not make any trouble at all from her questioning. He pressed his hands on his knees and bent over to look at her, “I’ve kissed you before. Do you remember me now?”

“Hahaha.” Ye Mu sneered at him, got up, and went towards the bathroom.

Song Zhuochen could not possibly follow her to the restroom.

Ye Mu washed her face with cold water and wiped her hands clean. She was planning on taking her leave the moment she got out of the bathroom. Otherwise, she might be targeted again.

But before she could leave, a woman who came out of the bathroom stared at Ye Mu in surprise, “You’re the one! You’re that one! Are you the one who filmed with Ye Qiyi? From Ou Li’s commercial? Is that you?!”

Ye Mu was slightly intimidated by the woman in front of her as she nodded her head in response, “It’s me.”

“Ahhh! It’s really you! That commercial was filmed so beautifully. I really like you, can I get your autograph?!” The woman was so excited that the makeup she was wearing was almost wiped off her face as she bounced up and down.

She was quick to take a tissue and a pen from her bag as she hurriedly passed it over to Ye Mu and pleaded, “Please…”

Ye Mu looked at the pen and paper and she did not refuse. This was the first time someone had asked for her signature, so she signed her name as seriously as she could.

A commercial had allowed her to gain fans in just under a day of its broadcast.

This was something that Ye Mu had never expected.
