Murong Lian and Lin Yuan'er were chatting in the middle of the cubicle, waiting for Mo Ming while the others had already left. When they saw Mo Ming returning from the break room, Lin Yuan'er immediately went up to him.
Seeing this, a hint of loneliness flashed in Murong Lian's eyes, and a sense of sourness welled up in her heart, accompanied by unspoken jealousy.
"Brother Mo, are you done with your smoke? Sister Lian and I have been waiting for you for a long time," Lin Yuan'er said.
Mo Ming smiled slightly and nodded. "Why wait for me? If you two are done with work, you could have just called or come to find me."
"Since I was chatting with Sister Lian, I didn't want to disturb you," Lin Yuan'er replied with a smile. "She told me that if you win the race, you want her to introduce someone to you, right?"
"Uh... that was just a joke. Don't take it seriously. Having you is enough for me; I don't need anyone else," Mo Ming said as he gently held Lin Yuan'er's chin. "So don't be jealous; just stick to being vegetarian."
"Yuan'er doesn't eat vegetarian," Lin Yuan'er laughed. "As long as Brother Mo truly likes me and can still accommodate Yuan'er in his heart, then what does it matter if Brother Mo likes someone else? I wouldn't mind."
Upon hearing this, Murong Lian was slightly taken aback. She saw Mo Ming shaking his head with a wry smile. "Silly girl, stop saying such things; don't say it again in the future."
"Hehe, I'm just joking! If Brother Mo doesn't like anyone else, that would be the best," Lin Yuan'er teased, wrinkling her nose.
"You two have had enough; showing off your affection in front of me—don't you know that showing off affection leads to an early demise?" Murong Lian shot them a disdainful glance. "Alright, since the male lead is back, let's get going."
"Don't rush off yet; I want to have some fun with Yang Yuan," Mo Ming said with a slight smile and then informed Murong Lian about installing a listening device in Yang Yuan's office.
"What! That's too despicable; I can't believe he would be that kind of person," Murong Lian exclaimed in surprise, raising her eyebrows and still somewhat skeptical. "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely true; I wouldn't joke about something like this. Just now, Yang Yuan was planning to recruit Ren Long to deal with me," Mo Ming chuckled. "But his calculations were off; while I do have conflicts with Ren Long, our relationship has improved."
"From the first time I met him, I felt that Yang Yuan was all show and no substance—not a good person at all," Lin Yuan'er huffed and smiled as she linked her arm with Mo Ming's. "My Brother Mo is the best!"
"I told you not to keep praising that male lead; otherwise, he'll think too highly of himself," Murong Lian rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan'er and said to Mo Ming, "Since you know there's a listening device in the office, why don't you hurry up and destroy it?"
Murong Lian felt a chill run down her spine at the thought that someone nearby was eavesdropping on her words. She developed a sense of disgust towards Yang Yuan; his methods were too despicable, secretly listening to her actions.
"Destroying the listening device like this is too easy on Yang Yuan. I have a better way to toy with him, but I wonder if you will cooperate," Mo Ming said with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
Looking at Mo Ming's smile, Murong Lian had an ominous premonition.
"Just say what your better plan is. Stop dragging it out and laughing; it's making me anxious."
Mo Ming immediately shared his thoughts with Murong Lian. As she listened, her brows furrowed higher and higher. Before Mo Ming could finish, Murong Lian rejected the idea.
"I can't do that. You want me to scold Yang Yuan? I lack the words for that kind of thing; I probably won't be able to hurt him at all."
"Sister Lian, think about it carefully. That despicable man Yang Yuan actually installed a listening device in your office without hesitation. Don't you find that detestable? According to me, not scolding him in person would already be very ladylike."
Lin Yuan'er agreed with Mo Ming's plan, having no good feelings toward Yang Yuan whatsoever.
"You make it sound easy; why don't you go instead!" Murong Lian shot Lin Yuan'er a glare, feeling frustrated.
"Yuan'er wouldn't be effective; you would be. After all, Yang Yuan likes you. If you liked him, you could let him eavesdrop as he pleased. But if you don't like him and want him to stop pestering you, this is the best way to get rid of him."
Mo Ming looked at Murong Lian meaningfully, secretly amused. From observing their interactions, it was clear that Murong Lian would choose the latter option without a doubt.
"Of course I don't like him!" she denied without thinking. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll give it a try."
Yang Yuan had decent qualities; however, Murong Lian was not interested in him at all. Even being acquaintances felt somewhat forced, let alone liking him.
"Hehe, say whatever you want; just remember to scold him fiercely," Mo Ming reminded her. "Yuan'er, just watch from the side and don't make any noise, understood?"
"Alright," Lin Yuan'er nodded.
Soon, Mo Ming and Murong Lian walked into the office, with Lin Yuan'er following closely behind. Once inside, Murong Lian suddenly turned around, her face filled with anger. "Mo Ming, stop talking! Yang Yuan has nothing to do with me!"
This surprised Mo Ming slightly; he didn't expect Murong Lian to get so into character so quickly, her aura becoming overwhelmingly powerful. Even Lin Yuan'er was taken aback, her autumn eyes wide open.
"That's not wrong, but Young Master Yang truly likes you. If not, why would so many advertising companies in Nanhua City choose Starry Melody?" Mo Ming replied without hesitation, smiling as he spoke.
"He chose Starry Melody because he knows it has potential; what does that have to do with liking me?" Murong Lian retorted angrily. "Besides, just because someone likes me doesn't mean I have to accept it!"
"I think Young Master Yang is quite a decent person; why won't you accept him?" Mo Ming said while searching for the hidden listening devices installed in the room.
"That's your opinion; I don't think so!" After a pause, Murong Lian thought for a moment before continuing, "From the first day we met, I felt that Yang Yuan was not impressive at all. He appears to be a gentleman, but he's actually a big bad wolf—disgusting."
"Why do you say Yang Yuan is a big bad wolf?"
A smile appeared on Mo Ming's lips as he continued searching for the listening devices, estimating that they should be near the desk.
After all, once Yang Yuan entered the office, he couldn't install the devices openly; the only possibility was that he tampered with something around the office.
"You said he's a big bad wolf, so I feel the same way. Anyway, you don't need to say anything more; I will never like someone like Yang Yuan in my life!"
"Uh..."
Mo Ming felt a bit frustrated. What I said made you feel that way too?
What kind of nonsense logic is this? It's utterly incomprehensible!
However, just as Murong Lian was speaking, Mo Ming had already located the listening device.
As Mo Ming had suspected, the small listening device was indeed stuck under the office desk, likely installed secretly by Yang Yuan during his last visit.
"So what you mean is that you really dislike that big bad wolf Yang Yuan, right?"
A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Mo Ming's mouth as he pointed to the space under the desk, indicating where the listening device was placed.
"Yes, I absolutely detest him. If it weren't for our collaboration, I wouldn't even bother to talk to him; I'd prefer to never see him again!" Murong Lian feigned anger and said, "Don't mention him again, or I'll cut ties with you!"
"Alright, since you hate him so much, I won't say more," Mo Ming replied with a smirk. "I truly hope Young Master Yang can be sensible and stay far away."
"That would be best. Anyway, it's getting late; we should hurry back." Unable to think of anything else to say, Murong Lian concluded.
Mo Ming waved his hand, signaling Murong Lian to go out first. "Okay, Miss Murong, you go ahead. I'll tidy up the documents on your desk."
"At least you know how to help. I'll wait for you outside."
After saying this, Murong Lian walked out and stood beside Lin Yuan'er. She turned back to look at Mo Ming and saw him reach under the desk to retrieve a tiny object, a smirk on his face.
"Young Master Yang, you heard what I just said, right? President Mu isn't interested in you. For this matter, I can choose not to inform her, but I hope you won't resort to these tactics again. Otherwise, next time I might just tell her directly."
With that, Mo Ming waved his hand and forcefully threw the listening device onto the ground, then kicked it.
The small device shattered into pieces, becoming useless trash.
Mo Ming did not rush to leave; he continued searching inside for any other listening devices or miniature cameras. After a while of searching based on his experience and finding nothing else, he felt relieved.
Leaving the office, Mo Ming couldn't help but smile to himself, imagining that Yang Yuan's expression must be quite something at that moment. Unfortunately, he couldn't see it.
"Brother Mo, why did you say you didn't tell Sister Lian? She already knows," Lin Yuan'er said with some confusion.
Mo Ming smiled slightly and replied, "I just wanted Yang Yuan to think that what Murong Lian said earlier wasn't an act with me, but rather something said without knowledge of the situation."
"You clever male lead, no wonder someone like Ren Long is willing to follow your orders," Murong Lian remarked, not sure if it was a compliment or an insult, as she often referred to Mo Ming as "clever male lead."
This left Mo Ming speechless. Instead of engaging in a witty banter with her, he took the two women and left Starry Melody Company. Today, Lin Yuan'er hadn't driven.
Mo Ming planned to drop Lin Yuan'er off at Fu Meng's place first before driving back to Hillside Mansion with Murong Lian.
Throughout the journey, Mo Ming didn't say much. Instead, Murong Lian and Lin Yuan'er chatted happily, mainly discussing how beautiful a dress from this year's Paris Fashion Show was and planning to go shopping when they had time.
When they arrived at Fu Meng's house, as soon as the car pulled up, Fu Qingyun came running out. Upon seeing his nemesis approach, Mo Ming immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
"Cousin-in-law, remember to come over for my birthday in a few days! I've been bragging about you to my friends; don't forget to help me save face then!"
Mo Ming felt a bit frustrated but still agreed to Fu Qingyun; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave today.
