The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

The guests at the event were surprised by Mo Li’s statement, they leveled approving looks at her.

“No wonder she is the daughter of the Mo Family, she is extremely generous.”

“I told you so, the girl doesn’t look like someone who could be up to no good. Something must be behind that car accident. Before we go back, we should go and talk to Mr. Mo, just in case he accidentally misjudged his own daughter.”

“Actually, now that I think about it, Mo Li and Quan Family’s young master make quite a loving pair. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful.”

“Shush, watch what you’re saying. You’re going to be dead if he hears you…”

Mo Li then slowly raised her head to meet the rancor in Xiao Yue’s eyes. The hatred was so intense that Mo Li could feel it palpably. Mo Li faced it with grace and determination. Her eyes that regarded Xiao Yue was light and insouciant.

Quan Yu nodded, he was going to give in to the girl’s demand this time. “Miss Mo is extremely kind but that doesn’t mean that everyone should get in their heads that she is easily bullied.” He turned to Xiao Yue coldly, “Since Miss Mo Li has decided to forgive you, then you shall have my forgiveness as well.”

Hearing that, Xiao Yue’s face broke with happiness. “After you bow and apologize to her, this whole incident will be considered over.” But this next sentence chased all her happiness away. It flustered Xiao Yue. He wants me to apologize to that bitch? That was crueler than asking for her life. But with Quan Yu standing there and his torch-like gaze burning into her, what other choice did she have?

Xiao Yue forced herself to walk towards Mo Li and then nodded at her. “Sister Mo Li… I’m sorry.”

Quan Yu shook his head with dissatisfaction. Then he tossed out another slogan from the domineering CEO repertoire, “I don’t think your attitude is sincere enough.”

Mo Li thought wordlessly to herself, Are you sure you’re not enjoying this role a bit too much?!

Xiao Yue gritted her teeth. This man is such a bastard! There is only one reason why he is doing this to me! I was right earlier, they were indeed frolicking in here earlier! After all, there is no camera in this room and they could have said anything they wanted to repel the rumors. Looking into Mo Li’s emotionless eyes, Xiao Yue gritted her fists. Then she bowed until her forehead almost touched her knees and raised her voice, “Mo Li, I’m sorry! It was my fault for misjudging the situation. I am so sorry!”

Are you satisfied now?

Quan Yu’s eyes scanned over Xiao Yue, a non-verbal approval of her sincerity. That one sweep caused Xiao Yue’s heart to quiver. Once the incident here was spread through the town, it would be extremely harmful to the Xiao Family. It would definitely affect their family company stock…

According to outside rumor, this young master from Quan Family was extremely arrogant and was said to suffer from a manic temper. Those who were unlucky to cross his path would suffer for it. Xiao Yue could definitely attest to that.

Everyone saw that she was about to be hauled out of the event that night… No other event organizers would extend an invitation to her anymore, even if she did, she wouldn’t have the face to mix among the socialites again.

“Master Quan.” Mo Yi looked at his daughter and sighed. “It is Mo Li’s fortune to have saved you but now that it is over, I should bring her home already.” Then he turned to Mo Li and said in a voice that brooked no argument, “Well, aren’t you coming?”

Just as Mo Li prepared to leave with her family, she was pulled back by Quan Yu. “I still have a few words to exchange with my life savior.” Quan Yu’s meaning was clear.

Even Mo Yi had to give the Quan Family face.

After everyone was gone, Quan Yu finally broke into a smile. He raised his wrist to show Mo Li. Her lipstick stain was still left on his skin. “What do you plan to do about this?”

Mo Li shrugged, “Well, you asked for it for collapsing on me.” She then handed him a tissue.

“Then perhaps I should collapse more often.”

…

After Mo Li left the lounge, the ball was already over and Xiao Yue had long since departed. It was almost midnight, the money had been raised and items had been donated. Mo Li got into the car with her brother and father. She pulled out the USB and thought about Quan Yu.

The last moment before she left the second floor lounge, Quan Yu suddenly leaped to grab at Mo Li’s arm to pull her into his body.

Then he leaned in close. The man’s lips lingered around the arch of her ear. “The Sacred Heart, huh? Mo Li, I promise you, our game is only beginning.”

Mo Li in the backseat couldn’t help but frown. Her pretty face was set in a severe expression. This Quan Yu was not a simple character.
