Son, “Mom” Will Back You

Completely bewitched by him, Gu Nian responded reflexively, "I guess that would be sufficient?"

"Okay."

"… …?"

Gu Nian finally snapped out of her bewitched state when Geng Hongyu finally rushed her to get away from the camera.

Turning around in a daze, Gu Nian looked at the filming area.

Was her precious son telling her that he would listen to his mother's advice?

"! ?"

Gu Nian's eyes lit up immediately. Looking at Luo Xiu in the middle of the filming area, she was so touched that her old mother's tears could roll down her cheeks any minute.

Sure enough.

She knew that her precious son was mature, obedient and totally understand how much his mother worried about him.

Woo woo woo. Don't worry, son. Mom will not let you down! She will make you famed! If we failed this time, there will be another time. It's just a matter of time! Wait for Mom!

It was late at night when Luo Xiu finally finished with his solo shots. The little assistant, waited bitterly off the camera, immediately rushed up to hand Luo Xiu his long coat when he was done.

The difference in temperature between day and night time in the mountains were drastic and it was, indeed, very cold in the middle of the night. After he had put his coat on, Luo Xiu looked up and around the filming area as thought something had just occurred to him.

The little assistant looked around with him. "What are you looking for?"

"Gu Nian?"

"Oh, her? Don't worry. She was so tired she had taken off after she told me to go and grab you a coat."

"Did you give her her coat back?"

"Yeah, I did. She was going to leave it behind too but she finally took it with her when I reassured her that I have brought you yours." Seemingly finding that comical, the little assistant said, "I no longer think that she just wants s*xual favors from you. Now it looks to me that she wants to be in a relationship with you."

Luo Xiu didn't respond to that. Pulling up the collar of his coat, he said, "Let's head back to the hotel."

"Okay!"

On their way back.

The little assistant peeked at the man sitting in the leather back seat resting with his eyes closed. After wanting to say something and stopped himself a few times, he finally couldn't help but asked, "Brother Luo?"

The man opened up his eyes and it didn't look like he had been sleeping.

As tired as he might be, he could not sleep when he was around anyone. Just like in the preparation areas earlier, he noticed Gu Nian's approach the very first second.

As though he just thought of something else, Luo Xiu's eyes deepened a little before he looked up and to the front seat.

"What is it?"

"Oh, nothing. I am just wondering, did that little screenwriter finally, fail to hold out any longer, forced herself on you?"

Luo Xiu remained silent.

The little assistant carried on with his questioning, "Should I mention the incident to Sister Anna? If you don't want to take care of it from your end, we can have Sister Anna can help take care of it from her end?"

More silence from the backseat.

"No need."

The little assistant: … … Oh boi!

His boss was almost forced into the lounge by the little screenwriter taking advantage of the dim environment at the time and he still said there was no need to take care of that?

Boy, oh, boy. Was his boss into being forced into submission or something?

The little assistant summoned up more courage and asked again, "Why did the little screenwriter drag you away tonight? Did she straight up tell you about s*xual favor in exchange for something?"

Luo Xiu's lips curved slightly and there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "No. She played dumb all night long."

The little assistant was alarmed. "Huh? Was she trying to dine and dash?"*

Luo Xiu, "And exactly what did she dine on?"

The little assistant, "… …"

The little assistant chuckled. "No, nothing. That didn't come out right. I guess its nice that she didn't say the conditions out loud. That way you can just pretend that it never happened and still act normal around her."

Luo Xiu paused and look back inside the car. "You said conditions?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. You said she didn't mention any conditions."

"There is sort of one."

Translator's note:

Many a times, the term "dining/eating" is used to refer to someone taking advantage of someone else "s*xually".
