Su Mo didn't know why he suddenly said it out loud, but after saying it, he still felt more anticipation than worry and apprehension.

  He actually cares about her more than he thought, thinking it was just a simple liking, from virtual characters to real smiles, but at this moment, looking at her so closely, he feels that his liking for her has reached an irreversible degree. His attention and concern for her.

  He knew she was with Min Yu, and even that she was now pregnant, but he still held onto a tiny glimmer of hope. Even the despicable hope that Min Yu wouldn't acknowledge her, so he could have the chance to stand by her side and protect her!

  But she wouldn't like such a selfish self, would she!

  In the summer, Miao heard him say that he didn't smile, but instead looked at her with a serious and determined expression. His dark eyes reflected her clear image, and just this one glance made her feel his sincerity.

  She smiled slightly, looking at him with a gentle and tolerant gaze: "Su Mo, you don't understand me. The Coco you know and like isn't the real me. I'm not as good as I seem on screen." Seeing Su Mo still being stubborn, she looked up at him straight-faced, "I'm not always so gentle, so warm. I also get petty and sulky like all girls do, holding grudges over small things, throwing tantrums, and getting lazy. Su Mo, you only like the Coco who is always gentle to everyone, but I am Xia Tian Meng."

  Su Mo looked at her deeply, his tone carrying a resolute and determined air: "I like you, I like Xia Tian Miao. It's true that I fell for you because of your warmth, but my liking for you isn't just because of your warmth. I like seeing you smile, frown, joke around... even though I haven't seen you get angry yet, why can't I accept your flaws? Xia Tian Miao, you're taking my feelings too lightly."

  In the summer, Meng moved her gaze away from Su Mo and looked at the 'flowers' in the courtyard outside the window. Her smile slightly faded: "Su Mo, love is an unreliable thing. You like me now, you liked me yesterday, you like me this moment, but it doesn't mean that your heart won't change in the next second. Your liking for me is just like a child's fondness for their favorite toy - if it breaks, they'll be sad but not heartbroken, because there will always be something better to replace it."

  He gazed at her profile, and in the warm sunlight, there were fine, tiny hairs that made her look both warm and soft. He couldn't help but smile as he stroked her cheek: "You're not me, how do you know I care about you so much?" How did she know how distressed he was when he found out she was pregnant, and how he had wanted to rush to her side and ask why, why she couldn't give him a chance before shutting him out? He hadn't even had the opportunity to try.

  In the summer, Miao's face stiffened slightly as she followed his hand's force to look at him, and his eyes were filled with warmth and sadness.

  She had never seen such a Su Mo.

  But this Sumo is what she could imagine when she first saw him.

  Beautiful and exquisite.

  "Su Mo, I'm not worth it." This was the first time Xia Tian Meng said this to someone, but it wasn't to seduce him, rather to make him give up.

  She doesn't want to conquer such a deeply emotional and devoted man who considers her so important, she will make him suffer.

  Su Mo's lips curled up at the corners, shining brightly in the warm sunlight as if they were about to glow.

  He said: "Xiatian Meng, loving you is my own business. You don't have to feel guilty or sad, your existence alone makes me content."

  It was the first time he said such a sentimental thing, but it was all his thoughts.

  She can put her dreams on hold for others, he can give his all for her.

  As long as she nods

  Ye's family.

  "How could this be!"

  "Second Miss clearly doesn't look like a careless person! Is it a misunderstanding?"

  "What misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding can make her pregnant?"

  "Alas, I said the entertainment industry is too 'chaotic', didn't expect Second Miss to have such a thing happen, it's really embarrassing for the Ye family!"

  Ye Anqi went downstairs and saw several female servants gathered together gossiping. Upon hearing this, her expressionless face turned even colder: "None of you want to stay in the Ye household anymore, is that right?" What kind of people are they, daring to talk about Mengmeng behind her back like this?

  The maids saw Ye Anqi stand up straight and shouted in unison: "Young Mistress!" Their hearts were racing, Young Mistress had always been very good to Second Miss, if she heard them talking badly about Second Miss, they would be in big trouble!

  Ye Anqi hadn't even spoken yet when she saw Ye Bo and Madam Ye coming downstairs together. Madam Ye had obviously also heard, frowning and saying: "Xiao Meng is really not like a proper person! This kind of thing is just smearing our Ye family's face! I must call her back to have a good talk with her!"

  Ye Anqi knew about Mrs. Ye's true nature long ago, but hearing her talk about her own daughter in such an indifferent tone made her feel sorry for Xia Tianmeng! If it weren't for losing her father at a young age, why would Xia Tianmeng be willing to follow this cold-blooded mother into the Ye family?

  Ye Bo just glanced at the 'female' servant indifferently and went straight to the dining hall.

  Mrs. Ye smiled and said to Ye Anqi, "Anqi, you'd better talk to Xiaomeng more often when you have nothing to do. Can't let her continue down the wrong path, it's simply not like that! If Xiaomeng were half as obedient as you, I would be satisfied!"

  Ye Anqi looked at Ye Furen's face, her lips coldly hooked: "If you had half the enthusiasm for her as you do for me, she wouldn't have left the Ye family!" This woman has been fawning on herself since she married into the Ye family all these years, just because she is the heir of the Ye family!

  Mrs. Ye didn't feel embarrassed, but looked at her with a mixture of helplessness and affection: "I know you've always had prejudices against me, but it's just because I'm your stepmother, after all. However, your father still needs someone to take care of him." She looked at her as if she were looking at an unreasonable 'daughter'.

  Ye Anqi let out a cold snort, no longer looking at her, and instead turned to face the 'female' servants: "You can all leave. The Ye family doesn't want servants who look down on members of the Ye family!" They had all forgotten about MoMo's kindness towards them in the past, now they were just turning their backs because of an uncertain event that had just occurred, and this 'woman' was simply a kindred spirit!

  The maids didn't dare say anything, the Ye family was too powerful and influential, with just a flick of their finger they could make it impossible for them to survive in this city, not to mention that even if they were fired, they would still get a month's salary. How could they possibly offend the young mistress? However, unexpectedly, the young mistress's concern for the second mistress had reached such an extent, as if they were biological sisters.

  Mrs. Ye saw that the female servants didn't even glance at her and left one after another, while Ye Anqi directly went into the dining hall by herself, with a surge of nameless anger in her heart.

  But there was nowhere to vent, after all, the master of the Ye family was only Ye Father and Ye Anqi.

  In the dining hall, Ye Fu saw Ye Anqi's cold face and opened his mouth: "You haven't formally accepted the Ye family yet."

  Ye Anqi was taken aback for a moment, frowning at him: "Isn't it that tomorrow I will officially take over as deputy general manager?"

  Ye Mu smiled and leaned back in his chair, looking at her with a lazy expression. This 'daughter' who was almost identical to his ex-wife: "I hope you won't disappoint me. I trust that after reading so many management books, you won't be too impulsive?"

  Ye Anqi hooked her lips, using a knife to cut the toast on the plate, and smiled: "Why can't I do what I want? I'm still so young, can't even do what I want to do? So what do I want Ye Shi to do?" She had been determined to inherit Ye Shi since she was a child, but it was just because she wanted to protect Xia Tianmeng's dream.

  Ye Mu looked at his daughter's rarely unrestrained appearance, smiled and sighed. He knew how strong her career aspirations were, she would become the best helmsman, but he didn't want anything that could affect her judgment around her. Xia Tian Meng was that unknown quantity, but he also knew how much An Qi cared about her.

  Let it be, if 'girl' is really so cold-blooded then she's not herself.

  That's good enough——

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Wang Jing, the outdoor host of xx卫视's Entertainment Everyday. We're currently waiting for VI's arrival at the conference room outside E Company. There are many reporters on site, and fans are gathered outside the door. We all hope to hear VI's response!" The beautiful female host held the microphone and reported in front of the camera, when she suddenly saw a group of people coming out of the elevator and let out a sharp scream, "It's VI! He's come out with his management team!"

  Min Di frowned slightly as he watched the swarm of reporters rushing over, his voice cold as he asked, "Why are there so many people at this press conference?" The company had told him it was just a small gathering, but looking around at all these people, he knew that wasn't true!

  The broker just said "with a smile" and didn't say anything else, everything was arranged by the company, he was just responsible for accompanying him.

  Min Ke suppressed the discontent in his heart and put on a gentle smile as usual.

  "Hmm..."

  Xia Tian Miao glanced at Su Mo sitting next to her reading a book and picked up her phone to answer the call.

  "Coco! Are you home now? I'll go pick you up!"

  Wang Xin's voice was too loud, and even Su Mo, who was standing beside her, heard it. He turned his head to look at her, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

  "What's wrong, Xin Jie?" Xia Tian Meng slightly furrowed her brow. She had just returned from Bern today and was exhausted from the plane and car ride, feeling too lazy to move at all.

  Wang Xin's voice was full of terror and worry: "Vi is holding a press conference! Right now on the first floor of E Company! I'll take you there right away!" She was so afraid that Vi would deny everything, and Coco would be completely ruined!

  Xia Tian Meng obviously thought of this too, her face slightly pale, but she still clenched her fists to remain calm: "Xin Jie, this might just be a reception by E Company, how can I go in my current state?"

  Su Mo reached out and grasped her left hand which was clutching her hem, looking at her: "Don't be afraid, I'll accompany you."

  Even if he had hoped that Min Yeon would deny it, seeing her so weak and scared really made his heart ache.

  To truly love someone is probably like this: loving what she loves and hating what she hates.

  Xia Tian Miao hung up the phone and looked at Su Mo, her left hand tightly grasping his, her voice trembling: "Su Mo, thank you."

  He stepped forward and held her, stroking her soft long hair, comforting her: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen!"

  Even if he felt hope was so slim——
