Chapter 446 Had No Temper At All
Shi Mo sipped the wine in his glass. He could not refute this point, but he would not show weakness in front of his love rival either. “Well, she was in your company previously, and that was the time she was the most wasted.”
Mu Chen’s body stiffened and his face turned pale.
He was rendered speechless.
Shi Mo stood up and walked towards Fang Moer. The person who was playing the piano with her consciously backed away. Shi Mo then sat beside Fang Mo’er.
The two of them looked at each other, the performance becoming very harmonious.
It was even more moving than the performance Fang Mo’er had given the other night.
For a moment, Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er became the focus of the entire venue.
This was the true beauty of a man and a woman, the music playing harmoniously.
By the time the performance was over, Mu Chen was no longer at the venue.
At today’s cocktail party, Fang Mo’er ended up drinking a lot due to Shi Mo’s presence.
After Jack had come back, he had no chance to get close to Fang Mo’er because Shi Mo had constantly remained at Fang Mo’er’s side.
Tonight was the last day and everyone knew it. When Qiao Yi saw Jack’s helpless look, the corners of his mouth curled up. However, at the same time, he was also a little reluctant to part with her.
Xue Ni had intended on offering to help take care of Fang Mo’er, but Shi Mo had insisted on doing it himself.
Unknowingly, Fang Mo’er was showering Shi Mo with a lot of affection. For example, after Fang Mo’er had gotten drunk, she treated Shi Mo like Xiao Bai and constantly stroked Shi Mo’s hair to smooth it down.
Everyone had thought that the aloof Shi Mo would get annoyed or push Fang Mo’er away.
However, after observing the pair for a while, they realized that Shi Mo was like a doormat who had no temper at all. He allowed his hair to be carressed and flattened by Fang Mo’er. This made everyone’s jaws drop.
Finally, Shi Mo’er had to forcibly carry Fang Mo’er into the car.
The group of people had seen enough of their public display of affection and sighed with relief. Xue Ni was so angry that she was on the verge of tears.

Looking at the car that was about to leave, she realized that Shi Mo had forgotten to send her home.
In the past, Xue Ni had tasted the feeling of being treated well by Shi Mo for a while. Now, she had been completely reduced to being a passerby.
She had become the same type of person as those delusional girls who obsessed over Shi Mo but never received a single glance from him.
This had made her become one of those women whom she had looked down on in the past.
It was as if the people around her were also looking at her with the same disdain, as if she was just being fanciful. It was as if she was just like a young infatuated girl who did not deserve to be with Shi Mo.
That feeling made her extremely irritable and angry. Xue Ni’s face was gloomy and she could not bring herself to fake a smile. When Fang Mo’er woke up in the morning, it was still early and she had a splitting headache.
The members of the band had been overly enthusiastic the night before and they had all come over to propose toasts. She had not been able to refuse them at all.
Since it was still early in the morning, the sky was still dark outside. Fang Mo’er looked at the man who had woken her up in annoyance.
Shi Mo was already fully dressed. He tossed Fang Mo’er’s clothes in front of her and said with a serious expression, “Put them on. There are still ten minutes left before we leave.”
Fang Mo’er had bought a plane ticket for an early morning flight, thinking that she could catch up on her sleep on the plane so that she could start work again with a refreshed mind upon her return to China.
However, she had not expected that after a night of drunkenness, she could not even be bothered to lift her hands.
She pulled the blanket over her head and said in a muffled voice, “Don’t disturb me.”
Shi Mo had known that Fang Mo’er would react this way. He pulled the blanket aside and looked at the woman with her eyes closed. He said with a pained expression, “Then I’ll help you push back all your appointments for this morning.”
Fang Mo’er had already arranged her work schedule very well. Many interviews and assignments had been scheduled for the day she returned to China.
“No.” At this moment, Fang Mo’er opened her eyes and said gloomily, “These appointments are very important. Pushing them back will affect the promotion of the movie.”
After saying that, she gritted her teeth and got up from the bed. Like a gust of wind, she entered the bathroom.
Shi Mo knew that Fang Mo’er would still put her career first. He walked to the bathroom door and leaned against it. Casually, he said, “Why are you working so hard? You know that all my money is yours.” With Shi Mo’s financial resources, he reckoned that even if Fang Mo’er squandered money every day, she would still never be able to spend all his money in this lifetime.
Why was there a need to work so hard?
Fang Mo’er’s muffled voice came from inside, “Then why are you still working so hard?”
This question came back like a soccer ball, catching Shi Mo off guard.
Shi Mo lowered his head and pondered for a moment, before chuckling softly. If all the elites in the world were lying flat(1), what would the world look like?
Perhaps it was his sense of responsibility, or perhaps it was the sense of accomplishment that drove him to keep busy managing the company every day. [1] ‘lying flat’) is a lifestyle and social protest movement in China beginning in April 2021. It is a rejection of societal pressures to overwork, such as in the 996 working hour system, which is often regarded as a rat race with ever diminishing returns.
