36 Qin Mo's Explanation

As expected… she didn't remember wrongly.

She recalled Little Uncle saving her like a God who descended from the Heavens in yesterday's situation.

And even though he wasn't willing to let Qin Mo meet her, when she asked Qin Mo what he was doing here, he hesitated for a while before telling her that Little Uncle invited him.

She had indeed wanted to see Qin Mo. But now, when she saw Little Uncle's lonely figure walking away, she didn't know why her heart was feeling a little different.

The feeling was like… heartache?

He must have thought that she wanted to see Qin Mo, so he got him here at this time…

An Ge'er lowered her gaze as her lips moved slightly, "I'm fine, Brother Qin Mo. I'm sorry to have bothered you. You must have something on. It's okay, please go and get busy."

"Ge'er?"

There was a tinge of melancholy in Qin Mo's eyes. His voice was warm as usual, but An Ge'er refused to look again. He was already An Ruxue's boyfriend. She couldn't accept it. When she thought about how he protected An Ruxue, thought about the intimate stuff they would do…

Her heart would grieve. Furthermore, he was keeping her company like this, as if everything was the same as before. But in reality, it was already different.

However, An Ge'er was stunned in the next second.

Her hand… was being held in… Qin Mo's hands.

…

An Ge'er's heart trembled, and she wanted to retract it subconsciously. But, he held onto it even tighter.

"Brother Qin Mo…"

An Ge'er looked at him, dumbfounded. A hint of fluster flashed through her eyes when she looked into his complicated gaze.

Her heart began to beat violently. What… what did he mean?

"Silly lass. Tell me, what exactly are you thinking?" Qin Mo sighed gently.

An Ge'er's eyes flickered and began to feel a little desolate when she heard that.

He didn't really understand why they had become so distant in such a short time. He didn't like her nor love her, so he wouldn't have noticed all these.

An Ruxue had injected herself in between them; hence, they would never go back to how they were in the past.

"Nothing…" An Ge'er forced herself to curl her lips. "Please, quickly go, Brother Qin Mo. I'm afraid… if An Ruxue found out, it would be…"

"Xue'er?"

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows as if he had sensed something, "An Ge'er, why are you… not calling her sister anymore?"

An Ge'er's face paled. She began to clench her fingers uncontrollably, and even her breathing began to hasten.

Her brain replayed the words that An Ruxue had said to her on the phone yesterday. The truth that she couldn't even have imagined.

Qin Mo saw her behavior but thought her reaction was due to the matter between him and An Ruxue…

His gaze became obscure. "Are you jealous?"

"What?" An Ge'er regained her wits after hearing his words, and her expressions became complicated.

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows but was even more certain that he had the mark.

His lips curled slightly, and a gentle smile appeared at the corners. "Silly lass… I didn't expect you would pay attention to all these. This is how the entertainment industry works. The truth is mired with falsehood. All of this just an act. We are going to collaborate on a new film soon."

An Ge'er was taken aback. When she finally realized what he meant, she looked at him with astonishment. "Re-really?"
