Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Little Mo Wants to Take a Small Step Forward (2/5)

Mo Mo, having received permission, eagerly picked up the photo from the shelf, curious about why Wu Mu had kept it hidden.

Then she saw it.

In the photo, the beautiful woman and the little boy leaning on her leg were clearly Wu Mu and his mother, but the right side was cut off...

Wu Mu’s father?

Something felt off to Mo Mo.

Long ago, during their conversations, she had learned from Wu Mu that both his parents had passed away.

Back then, they weren’t very close, so it wasn’t appropriate to ask too many questions. She had assumed that they died together in an accident.

But now, it seemed there was a hidden story.

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Mo quietly asked, "Wu Mu, why did you cut off the right side?"

Wu Mu replied, "I cut it off because I didn’t want to see him."

Mo Mo waited for two seconds, and seeing that Wu did not continue, she knew he didn’t want to talk about it.

She silently replaced the photo frame, then changed the subject with a smile, "Wu Mu, did you see my final performance?"

Wu Mu clicked his tongue, "I saw it, the level was too high."

In the finals a few days ago, Mo Mo really pulled out all the stops.

There were no theme restrictions in the finals, and she chose a song called "Wind’s Breath," which was of an exceptionally high level, even by Wu’s standards, and could be considered a masterpiece.

With her obviously superior singing skills, she, along with her less capable partner, completely blew He Jie and Zheng Qiang out of the water.

Mo Mo was very satisfied with her performance and was uncharacteristically unabashed, giggling, "Actually, I had already written that song a while ago. It’s the title track of my new album. The company specifically arranged for me to perform it on the show and capitalize on the championship to release it."

Wu didn’t expect there to be such arrangements behind her success.

He laughingly said, "It’s a good thing I dropped out early. Otherwise, I would have definitely been replaced by Teacher Mo Mo in the last few rounds."

He was joking, but Mo Mo shook her head and seriously replied, "I wouldn’t have replaced you."

Feeling the glare from Wang Ping nearby, she quickly covered her mouth and shifted the topic, "Wu Mu, I watched the latest episode of Star Agency the other day. The live broadcast was so interesting..."

The two chatted happily, and they didn’t even bother going out for lunch, opting to order takeout and eat at Wu’s place instead.

Wang Ping, sitting nearby, tried hard to play the third wheel, but it was only minimally effective.

After stealing a glance at Wang Ping, Mo Mo casually asked, "Do you still keep in touch with your boss?"

Wu Mu paused for a moment, then found it somewhat amusing.

Little Mo, you just can’t help yourself, can you?

In previous conversations, Mo Mo had never touched on this topic, but now she clearly couldn’t restrain her curiosity any longer.

Wu Mu shook his head with a smile and truthfully answered, "No, we haven’t had contact since the building collapse."

Mo Mo struggled to maintain her composure, "Then, what is your relationship now..."

Wu met her gaze, "We have no relationship. To me, she’s just a stranger."

If it had been his past self, he might not have been able to let go so easily, but for him now, Liu Lan was truly just a stranger with no ties—not only was there no love, but not even hate.

Wu thought for a moment, then continued, "You don’t need to worry about her being an obstacle. At least on my end, she has no ability to influence any of my decisions."

Humph, that’s what you say now, but why weren’t you so tough before?

Mo Mo internally scoffed, but the smile on her face was irrepressible.

Beside them, Wang Ping, seeing this scene, felt completely numb. Can’t you respect me a little? Is it possible to have these cunning pull-and-tugs privately instead of out in the open?

Observing Mo Mo’s smiling face, Wang Ping sighed internally. Although she really didn’t want anything real to develop between Wu Mu and Mo Mo, she understood well that Mo Mo was a very resolute person at her core.

She had made her decision, and nothing anyone else said could change her mind unless she changed it herself.

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Mo Mo didn’t continue on the subject but instead, shifted the conversation to something else.

While they were chatting, someone sent Mo Mo a WeChat message.

Mo Mo looked at it and laughed, "Ah Yao sent it, she said she participated in the new episode of ’Masked Singer,’ which is about to air. She wants me to see how she did."

Hmm? Lu Yao?

Wu Mu chuckled inwardly, she probably doesn’t want you to watch her performance, but rather to see your reaction.

Wu Mu checked the time, and indeed it was almost time for the ’Masked Singer’ episode they had previously recorded to air.

He simply stood up, "I’ll go get the laptop, let’s watch it together."

...

In Zhang Li’s apartment in Beijing.

Holding a tablet and lying on the sofa, Han Yan shouted towards the inner room, "Lili, ’Masked Singer’ is about to start. Are you watching?"

"No, I still have an article to revise," replied Zhang Li from inside.

Han Yan didn’t mind, she had just asked casually, only Wu’s show could get her best friend excited, no other show would make her put down her work.

She comfortably lay in the sofa waiting for the show to start.

Soon, it was time for the show to start.

First, they briefly introduced the rules, and then the ’flying guess’ commentators for this episode made their appearance.

"Oh, Lu Yao?"

Her being a commentator, could she really offer any help, or would she just create obstacles?

Han Yan watched Lu Yao’s entrance, pondering quietly.

She was familiar with Lu Yao, after all, following her best friend every week on Star Agency, how could she not know Lu Yao’s style?

While she was pondering, the program’s camera switched to the backstage lounge of the singers.

There were two new guests.

As an old viewer of ’Masked Singer,’ she instantly noticed three unfamiliar faces.

The reason there were three new faces but only two new guests was that one of the singers from the last episode hadn’t been guessed and had advanced; advancing meant they could change their disguise.

She glanced over the guests in the lounge, then waited for the commentators to pick someone for a duel.

This segment wasn’t very interesting, the guests, mostly afraid of revealing their identities prematurely, tended to stay quiet and not speak; the commentators would just chat about various gimmicks according to each person’s headgear before choosing someone.

But just as she was thinking this.

In the lounge, a guest dressed as a ’Mechanical Warrior’ spoke to the winged guest next to him.

This new guest really isn’t afraid of revealing themselves early, huh?

Han Yan became slightly intrigued.

Then, her intrigue quickly turned into a subtle amusement.

Watching this new guest threaten the winged person, saying he’d duel if they didn’t answer, she felt a familiar sense of style.

This style, why does it feel so familiar?

As this person was chatting up a storm and even swapped to another guest to chat, Han Yan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "That’s Wu!"

She quickly shouted towards the inside, "Lili, stop revising, come out and watch Wu!"
