You're a Big Help, She-Devil

"So, there's no chance for you guys anymore."

A pleasant voice broke the silence.

Zhou Qiaoqiao walked back in, her high heels clicking sharply.

She happened to witness the scene.

She couldn't allow Xu Mo to go back to being Shen Manni's lapdog!

Even if it was just an act, no way!

[Good job! Well done!]

[You’ve been a great help, you devil woman!]

[What’s wrong with you today, silly woman? Keep up your ice-cold CEO act!]

[I dare not accept your favor.]

Xu Mo let out a sigh of relief.

Shen Manni’s near-confession had scared him.

How was he supposed to respond to that?

He couldn’t.

According to the lapdog persona he was supposed to maintain,

the next line would likely involve forgiving Shen Manni.

But that wasn’t what Xu Mo wanted.

"Ding! Since the host has made no choice,"

"the system has automatically equipped you with the title: '24k Titanium Alloy Simp on the Move'!"

"Once equipped, the title cannot be removed manually."

"You can choose to replace it when you obtain a new title."

Xu Mo was dumbfounded.

This damn system really knew how to stir up trouble.

Did he need a title?

He hadn’t even had time to figure out if this thing would cause him any inconvenience.

Don’t make decisions for me!!!

Xu Mo tried to communicate with the system in his mind.

But it was useless.

The system still ignored him.

At the same time,

the moment the title was equipped,

the people around him looked at Xu Mo differently.

There was an indescribable sense of familiarity.

It was a very subtle feeling.

"Hey, have you noticed how especially handsome Xu Mo is today?"

"Are you blind? He’s always been this handsome!"

"Little sister, do you think Xu Mo is good-looking?"

"Of course he is!"

"Well, take a good look while you can. It’s not every day you get to see him. After all, he’s the kind of man you’ll never be able to have in this lifetime..."

The staff couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

Xu Mo seemed different somehow.

But they couldn’t quite put their finger on what had changed.

As for the women who genuinely liked Xu Mo,

they felt a significant shift in him.

A restless feeling rose in their hearts.

They couldn’t help but want to pull him into their arms.

At this moment, their possessiveness toward Xu Mo reached an unprecedented level.

Shen Manni’s expression returned to its usual coldness. "I was talking to Xu Mo, not you."

Zhou Qiaoqiao glanced at her. As a woman, she knew exactly what Shen Manni was thinking.

Dream on!

"I was talking to my husband, not you."

Watching the future heirs of the Four Great Families of Magic City bicker was quite entertaining.

But it was already way past lunchtime.

Food is the fuel of life. If you skip a meal, you’ll feel weak.

If you’re not enthusiastic about eating, what else can you be enthusiastic about?

Clean and hygienic.

With Zhou Qiaoqiao and the other female CEOs causing a scene,

Liu Yong felt that today’s filming couldn’t continue.

So, he approached Xu Mo with a sheepish smile.

"Xu Mo, it’s lunchtime. Should we let the crew take a break?"

Liu Yong’s tone and attitude made it seem like Xu Mo was the director here,

while Liu Yong was just a bystander, a soul-level foodie, an emotionless eating machine.

Huh? Lunchtime already?

Cough... Wait a second.

Xu Mo looked at him in surprise. "Director Liu, you’re the director, right? If it’s lunchtime, just let everyone take a break."

"Xu Mo, we’re not hungry."

"Xu Mo, please keep showing off."

"Xu Mo, eating doesn’t matter. Just seeing you fills me up. If you don’t believe me, you can feel my heartbeat."

The staff members were full of enthusiasm and energy.

Liu Yong’s eyelid twitched as he glared at these troublemakers.

"What are you all doing? Trying to rebel?"

"If you don’t want to eat today, you won’t eat ever again."

Liu Yong’s threat worked like a charm.

Everyone immediately calmed down.

Skipping lunch today was fine, but if they had to skip lunch every day during filming,

they’d starve to death.

Strong-willed? Nope, food is just too good!

Xu Mo wanted to join the crew for the boxed lunch,

but Xu Shi stopped him.

"You can’t leave."

Xu Mo’s eye twitched. "Xu Shi, stop messing around. Your brother’s been filming all day and is starving."

Yang Jingying chuckled.

"That’s easy. Xu Mo, come have lunch with me. There’s a hotel nearby with great food. I’ve been there many times."

Zhou Qiaoqiao cut in, "Yang Jingying, just because you’ve been there many times doesn’t mean the food suits Xu Mo’s taste. You can go by yourself."

Xu Mo was on the verge of losing it.

The protagonist’s harem was on fire.

Why wasn’t anyone stepping in to fix this?

"You guys go ahead without me."

With that, Xu Mo hurriedly left.

The best strategy was to retreat.

Run first, think later!

The women exchanged glances.

Lin An’an also wanted to leave,

but Yang Jingying stopped her.

"An’an, come have lunch with me. I have some questions for you."

Zhou Qiaoqiao wouldn’t back down. "If it’s just lunch, why the questions? Lin An’an, have lunch with me. I’m more easygoing and won’t give you a hard time."

Zhou Qiaoqiao and Yang Jingying were at it again, locking horns.

Lin An’an’s face fell.

o(╥﹏╥)o

Neither the Zhou family nor the Yang family was easy to offend!

Just as she was struggling,

Xu Shi stepped in as the mediator.

"How about this?

Let’s all have lunch together. Yang Jingying, Zhou Qiaoqiao, you can ask whatever you want at the same time."

Yang Jingying tilted her head slightly, glancing at Zhou Qiaoqiao. "Xu Shi, you’re quite mature for your age. Unlike some people who act like they’re already part of the family before even getting married."

Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled sweetly. "You’re right. Xu Shi may be young, but her thinking is quite 'advanced,' much more so than your childish mindset."

Zhou Qiaoqiao played it safe.

Xu Shi was in first place.

Zhou Qiaoqiao could be considered a close second.

If Xu Shi was excluded,

Zhou Qiaoqiao definitely had the upper hand.

As for Shen Manni, she was undeniably at the bottom, no question about it.

Xu Shi was crying tears of joy inside.

Zhou Qiaoqiao, you’re the best!

Finally admitting defeat for once.

Yang Jingying gritted her teeth.

Think you’re so great, huh?

Let’s see how great you are together!

Is Xu Mo really that shallow?

Heh... As if!

If she wanted, she had plenty of ways to handle this.

But she wanted to ask Xu Mo’s opinion first.

Otherwise, if Xu Mo didn’t care,

all her efforts would be for nothing.

Yang Jingying chuckled. "I believe I was born a day earlier than you, right? Little sister!"

"Oh, sorry. Little sisters are meant to be cherished. I didn’t mean to rub it in that I’m older than you. Isn’t that right, little sister?"
