Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a while, the waiter served the food, which was very sumptuous, but Mo Rao had no appetite at all.

“You don’t like it?” Fu Ying asked when he saw Mo Rao’s expression.

“I’m not hungry. It’s your birthday today. You should eat more.” Mo Rao shook her head. She was only here to find out what had happened between her mother and the Qu family.

Fu Ying’s mood instantly plummeted. He put down his knife and fork. He had no appetite anymore.

Could it be that Mo Rao didn’t care about him at all now? She was this reluctant to have a meal with him on his birthday and refused to have a single bite.

Seeing that Fu Ying’s expression wasn’t good, Mo Rao felt helpless. She could only take a bite of the steak and say, “I’ll eat a little. You should eat quickly. There’s still business waiting.”

“What business?” When Fu Ying saw her perfunctory attitude, he replied unhappily, “Your only business for today is to celebrate my birthday with me.”

“Alright, happy birthday.” Mo Rao smiled. Even if she was unwilling, in order to get what she wanted, she was willing to act like she was happy.

After all, she was someone who had won the Best Actress Award. She had some acting skills.

With that, Mo Rao raised her glass and gestured for Fu Ying to clink glasses with her.

When Fu Ying saw her attitude suddenly change, although he knew why, he still felt pleased. He was willing to cooperate with her in order to maintain the warm and harmonious atmosphere. He raised his glass and clinked it against Mo Rao’s. “Thank you.”

After toasting, the two of them ate silently.

Mo Rao suddenly recalled the first year she and Fu Ying had gotten married. On Fu Ying’s birthday, she had clumsily prepared a table full of food that didn’t look or taste good. Her hand had also been accidentally cut twice. She waited until midnight, but Fu Ying didn’t return. He only sent a message saying that he had some businesss to attend to and wouldn’t return that night.

Now, he was begging her to celebrate his birthday with him. How ironic.

“Did Lin Xing look for you?” Halfway through the meal, Fu Ying broke the silence.

Lin Xing was probably at her wits’ end now. Mo Rao was her only savior. If she wanted to continue to work in the entertainment industry, she could only beg Mo Rao.

Mo Rao nodded. “She did. She wanted me to forgive her and save her.”

“Did you agree?” Fu Ying had mixed feelings. He was afraid that Mo Rao, this silly woman, would be soft-hearted. She had always been kind and merciful.

“Why should I agree?” Mo Rao’s answer was beyond Fu Ying’s expectations. “She should bear the consequences of her mistake. If not for the fact that she was exposed, I’m afraid I would be the one who would have to leave the industry.”

She seemed to have changed a lot. She was rational, unyielding, and knew how to protect her own interests now.

Fu Ying felt very gratified. He hoped that she would become stronger and stronger, so that no one would be able to hurt her anymore.

“Yes, you’re right.” Fu Ying smiled. His handsome face had a mesmerizing sense of charm when he smiled. Mo Rao used to love to see him smile. His smile could charm her soul.

Mo Rao still had to admit that Fu Ying was very handsome, very, very handsome. However, she was no longer the silly woman she used to be, so she wouldn’t be carried away by a smile.

This topic was brushed over just like that. Mo Rao didn’t want to talk about it anymore. Lin Xing had nothing to do with her.

However, she still thanked Fu Ying. “Thank you. I know you must have helped.”

“You know?” Fu Ying stared at Mo Rao passionately. Did she know his painstaking efforts?

“I know, but please don’t do so again in the future. I’ll handle my own business.” Mo Rao’s next words made Fu Ying’s mood plummet.

Was she so unwilling to let him help because she was afraid that Shen Feng would be jealous?

Fu Ying ate with a dark expression and didn’t answer Mo Rao.

After a while, when the two of them were almost done eating, Mo Rao looked at Fu Ying expectantly. “Can you tell me what happened back then?”

“Today is not over yet. After today, I will tell you,” Fu Ying said calmly.

“Does it have to be past midnight?” Mo Rao was speechless.

“Yes,” Fu Ying replied shamelessly. “It’s fine if you want to leave early, but I won’t tell you the truth in that case.”

This was simply too outrageous! As Mo Rao stared at Fu Ying’s calm expression, she felt angry and anxious. Fu Ying was deliberately making things difficult for her.

However, she couldn’t do anything to Fu Ying, so she could only endure it.

Upon seeing Mo Rao’s dejected look, Fu Ying smiled. “I’m done eating. Let’s go watch a movie now.”

What Mo Rao wanted to do in the past was now being compensated.
