<h4>Chapter 327: Be My Girlfriend (7)</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    Shi Nianyao stared nkly ahead, thinking that she must be hearing voices.


    She held the cell phone before her and stared at the screen once more, trying to ascertain that it was indeed Mo Xicheng’s number. Then she said weakly, “Has your cell phone been stolen?”


    Mo Xicheng didn’t quite know how to continue from here.


    Shi Nianyao felt a little embarrassed about her own reaction. “I- I think I’m imagining things. What did you just say? I probably misheard you.


    Her male idol was asking her to be his girlfriend.


    She had to be dreaming.


    She gave herself a p on the face. “Ouch!”


    That was a bit painful!


    As she debated with herself whether or not what she had heard had just been her imagination, Mo Xicheng continued, “The scandal has grown too much and it’s not going to disappear by itself.”


    Shi Nianyao paused.


    She hung her head with guilt.


    It was all because of the picture that she had published. It had fueled all the gossips.


    Of course, her idol now wished to settle the score with her and she must have misheard what he had just said.


    Mo Xicheng continued talking, “So now I need a girlfriend to prove the articles wrong. It’s the only way to clear my name. Do you understand what I’m saying?”


    Shi Nianyao widened her eyes.


    She finally saw what he meant!


    It was right. If he had her as his girlfriend now, he could rify publicly that the person he had kissed was Shi Nianyao and that way, the truth would be out.


    However...


    Shi Nianyao bit her lip. Any ordinary girl would have felt very lucky to be his girlfriend. But under these circumstances, it was most likely that his girlfriend would have to make a public appearance, and her identity would be out in the open.


    This thought made her hesitate, as she had her concerns. “Well...”


    “We can discuss this in person.”


    Shi Nianyao was immediately excited when she heard these words. “Really?”


    “Where?”


    “I’lle over immediately!”


    Her idol was asking to meet her!


    What could be more exciting than this!?


    She looked at Qiao Lian after hanging up the phone. “Chief Editor Lian Lian, I need to go out for a little while.”


    In any case, the managing editor had already relieved Team Two off their duties and barred them from clearing Mo Xicheng’s name. She was only in the office to try and settle Mo Xicheng’s matter, so she might as well use this time to meet up with Mo Xicheng.


    Looking ted, Shi Nianyao left the building in a huff.


    The meeting point was in a private meeting room at a secluded and high ss hotel.


    She turned and surveyed her surroundings, ensuring that she she wasn’t being followed before she entered the hotel and then the private meeting room.


    Upon entering the brightly-lit private room, she saw Mo Xicheng, who was sitting elegantly on the sofa. He stood up to wee her as she entered the room.


    Shi Nianyao’s expression immediately lit up.


    She stared at him with wide eyes and mouth agape, so awed and nervous that she could not speak.


    She had liked Mo Xicheng and been his fan for years.


    She had attended all sorts of events just to catch a glimpse of her idol, but she had only looked from afar. She had never dared to go up to him and make contact.


    Who would have imagined that one day she would meet her idol face-to-face this way?


    Mo Xicheng found her awed expression a little overwhelming. Finally, he pointed to the sofa and said, “Please take a seat.”


    “Oh, sure,” was all Shi Nianyao could say as she sat down, still wide-eyed.


    Mo Xicheng was starting to feel a little ufortable, being so intently stared-at. “Miss Shi—”


    “You can call me Nianyao,” she said immediately without any reservations.


    Mo Xicheng didn’t quite know how to continue from here.


    He ced a hand on his forehead, as though thinking of what to say next.
