Meeting You Is My Simple Happiness - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Brand Ambassador

Song Zhuochen walked out of the lobby right when Ye Mu came out of the restroom. Ye Mu didn’t return to the banquet as she turned around and went for the exit.

“Running away?” Song Zhuochen’s gaze shifted as he trailed Ye Mu from behind.

This was the first time that Song Zhuochen had encountered a woman like Ye Mu. He found her interesting enough as she left him hanging from a cliff.

Ye Mu walked briskly. Song Zhuochen followed her from behind, but he suddenly stopped when he saw Ye Mu’s back.

Ye Mu wobbled on her steps as she walked out of the hotel. A smile of relief appeared on her face when she saw Mo Shen’s car. Mo Shen looked at her through the window, then he got out of the car and went straight to her to support her gait.

He instantly recognized the smell of alcohol on her body and frowned, “You drank?”

Ye Mu could see two Mo Shen’s frowning at her. Waving her hand, she leaned her head on his shoulder and said, “I drank one glass.”

Under the influence of alcohol, Ye Mu turned bold. She circled her arms around Mo Shen’s neck and said in a sweet and cutesy voice, “My head hurts, I want to sleep.”

Mo Shen didn’t know what to say as he looked at Ye Mu’s condition. He sighed and half-carried, half-hugged her into the car.

Song Zhuochen stood at the entrance of the lobby and he could tell that Ye Mu and this man knew each other. Furthermore, their relationship seemed to be closer than friends.

“I wonder how long you can remain unstained, little Lily?” Song Zhuochen’s gaze was fierce as he laughed sarcastically.

There were just far too many women similar to Ye Mu in this industry.

When they first dived in, they were innocent and inexperienced, foolishly believing in the concept of true love. But in the end, they would all abandon this so-called true love for a bit of wealth and for the sake of their vanity.

Song Zhuochen seemed to have found something interesting. He would watch how exactly this little Lily would be stained by this big dye vat of an industry!

The drunk Ye Mu was inexplicably quiet.

Probably because she fell asleep the moment she got into the car.

Mo Shen saw this and he drove his car as steadily as possible so that she could sleep better.

In his cautiousness, the route that should’ve only taken about ten minutes took him half an hour before they finally managed to get home.

“Little madam?” Mo Shen opened the car door and called out to Ye Mu softly.

But his efforts were to no avail as Ye Mu didn’t wake up. As a result, he carried her into his arms. She was incredibly light, so it wasn’t a problem for Mo Shen to carry her all the way into the house and upstairs.

Placing her on the bed, Ye Mu suddenly showed signs of waking up. She opened her eyes and sat up. But before she said something, she pushed Mo Shen away as she rushed towards the bathroom and vomited, making a mess.

The wine Bai Xiao gave her had high alcohol content and she could not endure it at all. Her body just couldn’t digest it, even though she only drank a single glass.

Mo Shen went into the bathroom and passed her a towel.

He patted her back and asked, “Are you okay?”

After vomiting, Ye Mu felt much better.

She stood up and rinsed her mouth, “I’m fine.”

Mo Shen helped her take a seat in the bedroom as he made a trip downstairs. He returned with a glass of honey water in his hand as he coughed rather unnaturally, “A glass of honey water should help.”

“Thank you.” Ye Mu took the glass of water and drank it all up.

She was drunk and her limbs were numb due to the alcohol. But her mind was wide awake, and her brain could still remember everything that had happened.

The only difference between the sober Ye Mu and the drunk Ye Mu was that she was speaking a lot more than usual than when she was sober.

“I met some fans at today’s finale banquet.” Ye Mu’s eyebrows curved and there was this glazed look on her face as she talked about what had happened earlier, “It turns out that feeling wanted and liked feels so good.”

She put down the glass and raised her hand to open the curtains on the balcony. The cool breeze from outside blew in her direction as she said to herself, “Now, I finally understand why a lot of people wanted to be a celebrity.”

“All right, you should probably rest now.” Mo Shen knew that she was drunk, even though she displayed not any strange behavior.

He raised his hand to pull her over to the bed.

But she looked at him with grievances in her eyes. Usually, these words were words that she wouldn’t dare to say to him, but now that she was bold enough under the influence of alcohol she managed to say these words to him today, “Young Uncle. Did you marry me because you thought I was pitiful?”

“Did you think that you must help me now that I am so pitiful because I helped you before?”

Mo Shen couldn’t answer her question. To be honest, what she said was part of the reason why he had married her, but it wasn’t exactly the reason why.

“Actually, I’m not pitiful at all,” Ye Mu sniffled as she said with a sigh, “At the very least when my father was still alive. I felt blessed. Also, the fact that I can pursue a career that I like is also a huge blessing for me.”

“It’s great that you’re feeling blessed.” Mo Shen raised his hand and stroked her face.

His gaze softened upon seeing her look of satisfaction, “In the future, you will also have me by your side. Your husband.”

Ye Mu stared at him in a daze as a smile crept up her face. That’s right, she had him in her life now. The reason why they married each other didn’t matter anymore for they were already husband and wife. He was her husband and he was someone that she could depend on.

When Ye Mu finally fell asleep…

Mo Shen, who was in the same bed as her, lifted the quilt up and got up.

Ye Mu was especially clingy to him today.

She usually slept all curled up in his arms. But tonight, she had her arms wrapped tightly around Mo Shen’s waist, with her delicate face pressed up against Mo Shen’s chest.

Remembering the events of the past—Ye Mu felt blessed and upset at the same time. One should look forward to the future and move on from the past. But even as she kept telling these words to herself, why was her heart still aching?

Ye Mu’s body became weightless as her red lips fell onto Mo Shen’s lips. She even rubbed against his lips a few times. Then, she pulled on her own coat with her hands, “It’s annoying… how tight these clothes are… annoying.”

Ye Mu looked incredibly tired and it was conveyed through her drunken eyes. Her exhaustion overwhelmed her to the point that she didn’t realize that Mo Shen could catch a glimpse of her undergarments that had slipped from behind her clothes.

Mo Shen’s throat tightened as she squirmed in his bosom.

If Ye Mu continued to move like this, then Mo Shen might not be able to endure it anymore.

Fortunately, Ye Mu fell asleep sooner than he had expected. Seeing her lean on his shoulder, Mo Shen felt helpless and pitiful.

He always boasted immense self-control. But he was unable to guarantee anything at that moment for every minute that she continued to squirm and embrace him so tightly like that was similar to enduring a heaven-defying trial for him.

Mo Shen stood up and walked out of the bedroom. He wanted to drink some wine to subdue the burning fire in his chest. Unfortunately, this wasn’t his house and there was no winery nearby nor any wine.

Mo Shen took his car keys and drove towards the most extravagant mansion at the innermost part of Hua Jing district. At this point in time, his residence was still brightly-lit.

“Hello, sir.” As Mo Shen entered the living room, the old servant who was on duty tonight hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

Mo Shen simply nodded as a response as he walked straight away to the winery. He took a bottle of fine wine with him as he sat on the bar and poured himself a glass.

After drinking a few glasses of red wine, he gave Yan Qi a call.

Despite it being so late in the night, Yan Qi still managed to promptly answer the call, “Boss?”

“Do we already have a Brand Ambassador for our Mo’s latest cosmetic line?” Mo Shen looked at the red wine in front of him as he asked Yan Qi over the phone.

Yan Qi had no idea why Mo Shen had asked him this question.

But still, he answered seriously, “Not yet, but we’ve temporarily appointed the double award winner and supermodel Zhao Lin…”

“Make it so that it would be Ye Mu.” Mo Shen interrupted Yan Qi’s spiel with a few words of instructions.

“…”

Yan Qi knew about Ye Mu. Was Mo Shen going to open the back door for her now?

It has to be known that Mo Shen was always an impartial man in business. He wouldn’t even open any back doors for his relatives. Back when Mo Shen’s own sister wanted to enter the company, Mo Shen coldly told her directly, “You’re not qualified.”

It was her own sister that requested his help, yet he outright rejected her and left her crying!

But Mo Shen didn’t like it when people question his decision and how he handled his matters.

Yan Qi knew not to question him as she responded, “Okay, I’ll handle it.”

“Remember to try to keep it confidential. Do not let other people gossip about her.” Mo Shen added another instruction before he ended the call.

He stayed in his own house for quite a while. Seeing that it was already daybreak, Mo Shen took his car keys and went back to Ye Mu’s mansion.

Ye Mu’s head throbbed in pain when she woke up. She saw Mo Shen as she was walking down the stairs, “Good morning.”

“Morning.”

Mo Shen looked up to her, wiped his hands clean before gesturing for her to come over.

Ye Mu stared at Mo Shen and noticed that he seemed to be acting a little bit strange. With her inquisitive eyes, she asked, “Young Uncle, did you not sleep well last night?”

“Do you want to hear about it?” Mo Shen was about to continue when he noticed that she was staring right into his eyes, “What’s wrong?” Mo Shen raised an eyebrow.

She pointed at his eyes and said directly, “Your eyes are red.”

Mo Shen simply smiled. He didn’t say anything as to why his eyes were bloodshot.
