She tightened her grip on Mo Feifei’s hands before saying pitifully, “Feifei, look how thin you have become. When you go to work, you must take good care of yourself. You don’t need to care about Shang Mo even if he is the boss. If he ever dares to bully you, tell Granny and I will help you punish him.”

With that said, she gave Shang Mo a cold glare.

It was as if Shang Mo had bullied Mo Feifei before.

Shang Mo was a little speechless. So, he pulled a helpless expression in response to Granny’s words. “…”

He looked unexpectedly cute that Mo Feifei’s lip curled into a helpless smile. It suddenly came to her that perhaps working in the Shang Group was not as bad as she thought it would be.

Besides, the Shang Group had over ten branches, each involved in different areas and were dispersed all over the country. Shang Mo couldn’t possibly guard her department every day.

Even if she worked there, the chances of them meeting would probably less than what her ten fingers could count.

After the meal, Mo Feifei took the initiative to knock on Shang Mo’s study room door. After she got his permission to enter, she threw Shang Mo, who was sitting behind his desk, a question. “Do you have time? Can we talk?”

Since it was Mo Feifei who initiated the talk, even if he didn’t have time, he would still spare some time for her. Shang Mo obviously agreed and immediately stood up to pour two cups of tea for them. He placed one in front of Mo Feifei.

“What do you want to talk about?” asked Shang Mo in a gentle voice.

“I agree to work at the Shang Group but I have a small request.” After mulling over quite a time, she finally came to a decision. Since she could never draw a line between her and Shang Mo, she might as well leave it that way.

“What is it?” His pitch-black eyes did not have a single ray of light in them. Even Shang Mo’s lips subconsciously curled up. As long as she was willing to work at the Shang Group, he would agree to all her conditions.

“I don’t want to have any special treatment nor do I want to be a head designer the moment I enter the company. Because both of us know that I don’t have much experience and I am still a layman in designing. There are many things that I still have to learn so I want to start from being a normal designer. If the company wishes to use my designs, just write my name on it,” said Mo Feifei.

Shang Mo nodded. “Sure! No problem.”

“In that case, you can carry on with your work.”

Since she already said her piece, Mo Feifei prepared to leave. Yet, the originally happy Shang Mo suddenly had his emotions dampened. “You came just to tell me this?”

A hint of unfairness could be heard in his tone of voice. Mo Feifei nodded. She wanted to laugh at him. What else did he expect? He thought she would say something else?

She rose since she wanted to leave but Shang Mo immediately went forward and grabbed her hand. He heaved two breaths out before gently saying, “Feifei, don’t you think we both have a lot of affinities?”

Mo Feifei looked at him in silence. “…”

“Look, when you were left on the streets, you met Granny by coincidence. You then came to my family. God has given us a special kind of affinity,” Shang Mo said. It was obvious he refused to give up.

Mo Feifei gave him a faint smile. “But when I met you after I joined the Shang Family, that was not how I initially thought of. I thought that you were really scary. I even wondered why Granny has such a scary grandson?”

“Me… scary?” Shang Mo was stumped by her unfamiliar adjective. He felt as though something was stuck in his throat causing the words he wanted to say to stay put.

‘How can she think that I am scary? I didn’t do anything to her… at least not in terms of actual harm. I, at most, glared at her a few times and gave a few sarcastic scoffs.’
