Just then, the door to the dressing room was opened from the outside, and the person standing at the door looked over anxiously, only to see Ye Mo slap Yao Yuwei.
He Mingzhang: "..."
The three people inside the room all looked towards the door at the same time, and naturally saw He Mingzhang standing there. Yao Yuwei, whose hands were being held, burst into tears and looked at He Mingzhang pitifully.
" Mr. He, help!" she pleaded with He Mingzhang, her appearance and demeanor exceptionally pitiful, crying out, " Miss Ye has gone mad, she's going to kill me!"
Ye Mo gripped her wrist tightly, her gaze probing He Mingzhang with a hint of provocation—she wanted to see what He Mingzhang would choose to do.
Little did He Mingzhang know that looking at her like this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
He felt that Ye Mo's appearance was like that of a beautiful cat with sharp claws outstretched; if he dared to do or say anything, she would probably rush up and slash him with her claws.
He coughed lightly, suppressing a chuckle, and said, "Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, please continue!"
After saying that, he politely withdrew, closing the dressing room door behind him.
Seeing this, Ye Mo was satisfied, while Yao Yuwei's expression was one of utter despair.
Ye Mo released Yao Yuwei's hand, watching her stagger a couple of times before standing up. Her face was somewhat lost and disbelieving, as if she couldn't believe that He Mingzhang was really gone.
He just left like that?
Yao Yuwei was in a daze, her gaze still fixed on the door of the dressing room. Even now, she still felt incredulous and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
She couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.
Mingming now, she looked so vulnerable and pitiful. Anyone else who saw that would have at least said something, if not come to help. But He Mingzhang just left like that, just left like that?!
Previously, this Mingming had always garnered her sympathy, but this time it failed with He Mingzhang.
Ye Mo found it somewhat amusing to see Yao Yuwei so devastated.
"... Yao Yuwei." She called Yao Yuwei's name, and seeing that the other looked over somewhat slowly, she said in a calm tone, "You deliberately provoked me to hit you, just so He Mingzhang would see what just happened? You thought he would play the hero and save the damsel in distress?"
Yao Yuwei bit her lip and remained silent.
Ye Mo scoffed and said, "Let's just let this go this time. I didn't lose anything, so I won't hold it against you. But there won't be a next time!"
She stared at Yao Yuwei and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Since you know that the person behind me is from the Ye Family, you should know that if I wanted to, even if you have a sugar daddy, I could crush you like an ant... So, if there's a next time, I'll make sure you can't survive in this industry!"
"Alright, you can go now."
After saying this, Ye Mo sat back down in his chair and let Ning Aiqi continue removing his makeup.
Ning Aiqi:... Is this something a lowly makeup artist like her should be able to see or hear?
Yao Yuwei's cheeks were burning with pain. She touched her face and couldn't help but glare at Ye Mo with resentment and anger. But in the end, she did nothing more and simply left.
Ning Aiqi was still somewhat dazed when the dressing room door was slammed shut.
"She just... just like that, she left?" she said in surprise.
Ye Mo: "Otherwise what?"
She said casually, " Yao Yuwei isn't stupid. Since she knows I have the Ye Corporation backing me, she won't dare to offend me too much, unless she really doesn't want to work in the entertainment industry anymore."
After saying that, she couldn't help but exclaim, "The feeling of bullying others with one's power is just so great!"
Ning Aiqi: "..." Is this something I should hear?
With Ning Aiqi's help, Ye Mo quickly removed her makeup.
She didn't put on makeup anymore. Instead, she washed her face, applied some lotion and moisturizer, put on a mask, and went out.
Whether He Mingzhang hadn't left or was still standing at the door, Ye Mo opened the door and saw him standing outside, talking on the phone. When Ye Mo came out, he said something to the person on the other end of the phone and then walked over.
"Let's go." He took the things from Ye Mo's hands quite naturally and said, "I've already made a reservation at a restaurant, we can go now."
Ye Mo nodded, then turned to Ning Aiqi: "Then I'll be going now."
"Are you going out to dinner with Mr. He?" Ning Aiqi's gaze was full of gossip as she looked at the two of them, her eyes sparkling with interest.
Seeing her expression, Ye Mo remembered what she had said before: she was shipping herself and He Mingzhang. So at this moment, Ye Mo suspected that she might be imagining something in her mind.
"... I just went out to have dinner with him." Ye Mo looked at her warily, "Don't overthink it."
Ning Aiqi replied very perfunctorily, "Okay, okay."
Ye Mo:... This person clearly didn't listen to what I said.
Ye Mo had already told Shen Yan about going out to dinner with He Mingzhang tonight. Under Shen Yan's hesitant gaze, she simply gave Hu Pingping and Zhou Xiaoyu the day off.
Seeing Shen Yan sighing and looking worried, Zhou Xiaoyu said, "... Brother Shen, the Sister Momo He Family and the Mr. He Ye Family are old friends. What are you worried about? Mr. He will definitely not let Sister Momo get hurt."
Shen Yan: "... I'm not worried about that at all!"
Hu Pingping glanced at her, thinking to herself: You don't know what your Brother Shen is thinking; he's afraid his cabbage will be eaten by a pig.
It's arched.

Ye Mo followed He Mingzhang to the restaurant they had booked. Since the menu had been prepared in advance, the food was served shortly after they sat down.
Between serving the dishes, He Mingzhang looked at Ye Mo and went straight to the point, asking, "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
He was direct, Ye Mo didn't mince words either, asking directly, "I want to ask you, since you send me flowers and prepare meals for me every day, are you pursuing me?"
Upon hearing this, He Mingzhang smiled. He didn't answer the question directly, but instead said, "I thought I had made it quite obvious."
"... Why?" Ye Mo asked, puzzled. "You like me?"
He Mingzhang: "At least I don't dislike him."
He placed his hands on the table, clasped them together, and said calmly, "At my age, I'll eventually have to get married, and among women, I do have special feelings for you... Plus, you like me too, so I think we're a good match."
[He Mingming likes you!] 888 exposed He Mingzhang's true colors in Ye Mo's mind: [He fell in love with you at first sight, and couldn't forget you after returning home. When he learned you were a member of the Ye Family, he was so happy he couldn't sleep all night!]
I know, that's what you call a repressed pervert!
Ye Mo: "..."
Listening to 888's words and looking at He Mingzhang's calm and composed face, she felt a strong sense of disconnect.
Unaware that his thoughts were completely known, He Mingzhang calmly looked at Ye Mo.
"Wait a minute," Ye Mo suddenly realized, "When did I start liking you?"
He Mingzhang's gaze was intense. "... Didn't you say before that I was your ideal partner? Besides, your parents came to my house to discuss our marriage."
