Ji Mo:…

As he looked at the teary-eyed Ling Ya, Ji Mo suddenly felt the desire to laugh.

To be honest, he had long been disgusted by this person.

Whether it was what he heard or what he observed, he felt that she placed too much emphasis on ambition and career, never truly cherishing Youyou in her heart. Or perhaps, she always took Youyou’s feelings for her for granted.

“Do you know, Ling Ya, Youyou often talks to me about you.”

His fair and handsome face was slightly flushed from the sun as Ji Mo casually put his hands in his pockets, his expression becoming somewhat relaxed and composed.

He lifted his chin slightly, his voice slow and clear.

“She says you’re beautiful, a great cook, perfect in every way; she also says your acting skills are excellent and that you will surely become a super famous actress in the future; she even says you treat her really well, always calling and caring for her, that you’re an amazing girlfriend.”

Seeing Ling Ya’s flickering gaze, seemingly filled with sentimentality, Ji Mo chuckled softly.

“What’s the matter? Are you happy? But I can’t find any happiness in your gaze.”

He lightly tugged at his pale crimson lips and let out a low, nasal hum.

“She likes you so much, always talking about you, but what about you?”

“Ling Ya, despite being busy and having to make time to talk to Youyou on the phone, today I saw you here with Fu Shu. And you don’t even believe what Youyou says. In your heart, you trust Fu Shu, someone who is essentially a stranger, more than Youyou? Youyou told me before that you’re unpredictable, sometimes happy and sometimes bored when you chat with her.”

“She’s so anxious, unable to figure out where she went wrong. Ling Ya, you know that Youyou is innocent. When she likes someone, she becomes completely dependent on them, getting close to them. But as for you, you have too much in your heart.”

“You want to become a top actress, you want to establish yourself in the entertainment industry, be loved by countless fans, recognized by industry professionals, and even Fu Shu. You want her to hold you in high regard and value you, but…”

Glancing at Ling Ya’s pale face, Ji Mo’s eyes flashed with sarcasm.

“But Youyou is at the bottom of your priorities. You love her, but you can’t hide the fact that you often neglect her.”

“Ling Ya, I don’t really know what you’re thinking, but Youyou is great. You two are not married, so now both Fu Shu and I have the right to pursue Youyou and give her happiness.”

“You’re just her current girlfriend, nothing more.”

Although deep down he only saw Youyou as a little sister, Ji Mo didn’t hesitate to lie and make this annoying woman even more distressed.

Under the scorching sun, the woman standing in front of the coffee shop had completely lost color in her face. Ji Mo narrowed his eyes and realized that this woman cared more about Youyou than he had imagined.

Shrugging his shoulders, preparing to leave and find a few friends to help, Ji Mo hadn’t even turned around when he heard a hoarse female voice.

“Ji Mo, I warn you, Youyou can only be mine.”

Locking eyes with those twisted and enchanting eyes, Ji Mo paused for a moment, lifted his chin, nodded indifferently, and smiled.

“Then let’s wait and see.”

Despite appearing calm on the surface, there was a little person screaming inside Ji Mo’s heart—Aaahhh! Why didn’t xiao Youyou mention that her girlfriend is sick in the head? And it seems like her girlfriend’s condition is quite serious?!

With a tense expression, Ji Mo left the coffee shop and sat in his car, wiping the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead.

“This woman doesn’t seem simple either.”

He knew Fu Shu was well-known in both the business world and the entertainment industry, but Ling Ya, a small actress, was giving him immense pressure.

Shaking his head and no longer dwelling on it, Ji Mo started the car and sighed inwardly.

“You’re finished, little girl.”

These two women were not easy to get along with.

Why did you have to provoke someone like this?

“Youyou.”

Holding her throbbing head, Ling Ya’s heart was in agony.

The reason she took the time to come here during her lunch break today was to ask Fu Shu about Youyou and seek advice on how to make Youyou not angry with her. The reason she didn’t believe Youyou when she said Fu Shu was bullying her was because she knew Fu Shu had a severe obsession with cleanliness.

—Since the moment they met, she had never seen Fu Shu touch anyone else, so she naturally assumed that Fu Shu wouldn’t bully Youyou. However, she didn’t expect that Fu Shu would have ulterior motives towards Youyou, or perhaps, Youyou was Fu Shu’s original target?

No, that’s not right.

She had mentioned Youyou several times in front of Fu Shu. If Fu Shu had evil intentions towards Youyou back then, considering her personality, she wouldn’t have waited until today.

Her mind tangled like a mess of thread, Ling Ya bit her lower lip hard, and instantly, the faint taste of rust seeped into her mouth from between her teeth.

With Ji Mo’s words echoing in her ears, Ling Ya felt her eyes welling up with tears. Faintly, an image of Youyou seemed to emerge in her mind.

A beautiful girl with delicate features, happily and proudly receiving compliments from Ji Mo. Her clear and bright eyes were filled with joy.

The scene shifted to a narrow and cramped room. Youyou sat alone on the sofa, dutifully reporting to her with her phone in hand. But this time, the girl’s eyes were clouded, devoid of light.

Even her smiling face was tainted with worry and sorrow.

“Youyou.”

With shimmering tears in her eyes, Ling Ya covered her face with her hands, unable to bear the thoughts.

She knew just how fragile and sensitive Youyou was, and yet she had become the one to hurt her first.

She couldn’t help but clench her fists and bite them. After a long time passed, Ling Ya finally managed to suppress the overwhelming feeling of sourness and discomfort.

Unbeknownst to Ling Ya, in a place she couldn’t see, the voice of the system, brimming with excitement, echoed in Youyou’s mind.

【Task target: Favorability +1, +1, +1… Wow.】

    …

In the evening, at Fu Shu’s residence.

As Fu Shu carried the unconscious Youyou out of the car, she suddenly saw Ling Ya emerge from the nearby woods.

Raising an eyebrow nonchalantly, Fu Shu thought to herself that Ling Ya truly lived up to being the female lead of this world. She had such good luck. Despite owning so many properties, she managed to guess right that she would be staying here tonight.

“Fu Shu, give Youyou back to me!”

Ling Ya exuded a restrained and frenzied aura. Her expression was sinister, and she looked particularly terrifying in her red dress.

“Why should I?”

Fu Shu smiled lightly, showing no concern for Ling Ya standing before her. After all, she had encountered many people like Ling Ya, and some even more dangerous than her. She knew firsthand how terrifying Ling Ya could be if she went mad.

Using her eyes to signal her driver and bodyguard to block Ling Ya, Fu Shu glanced at the fragile girl in her arms, tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes. The smile on Fu Shu’s lips turned dangerously cold.

“I have taken a liking to her, so I won’t give her back to you. Besides, she never belonged to you, Ling Ya.”
