Rebirth: Starting with 10 Billion Us Dollars

97: Chapter 97 Flowers BloomAs soon as the press conference ended, while the venue was still buzzing with activity, reporters, celebrities, and various guests crowded around Zhang Kai seeking information. Although Chen Mo in the corner was noticed, no one dared to approach him.

Chen Mo stood up, stretched lazily, and walked directly towards the exit.

Seeing this, Zhang Kai hurried over:

”Mr. Chen, many media outlets and guests wish to meet you. Also, Old Jia mentioned wanting to discuss cooperation...”

”No meetings. Handle it yourself.”

Chen Mo’s steps didn’t falter as he waved his hand dismissively.

”Yes, Mr. Chen!” Zhang Kai promptly replied.

Knowing Chen Mo’s temperament, he said no more and turned to deal with the media and guests on the scene.

At that moment, Old Jia couldn’t help but push through the crowd and run over, calling out from a distance:

”Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen!”

Chen Mo didn’t even turn his head and walked straight out of the venue.

Chen Mo reached the exit where Yang Mi, Dilraba Dilmurat, and Guli Nazha were already waiting. Liu Yifei stood nearby. All four were quiet, and no one spoke.

”Let’s go.”

After speaking, Chen Mo took the lead and boarded the custom Tianxing Short Video business vehicle.

The four women followed. Yang Mi and Liu Yifei sat together, while Dilraba Dilmurat and Guli Nazha took the back seat. For a moment, the car was unusually quiet.

Dilraba Dilmurat secretly nudged Guli Nazha’s arm and whispered, ”Chen Mo seems a bit tired today.”

Guli Nazha nodded slightly, signaling her not to say more.

Yang Mi, however, glanced sideways at Liu Yifei and said in a low voice tinged with a hint of jealousy:

”You certainly stole the spotlight at today’s press conference.”

Liu Yifei smiled and didn’t respond.

”Chen Mo, where are we going?”

After holding back for a while, Yang Mi looked at the somewhat heavy atmosphere in the car and couldn’t help but ask softly.

”Back to Rose Garden.”

Chen Mo said.

”Oh.”

Yang Mi stuck out her tongue and said nothing more.

Over half an hour later, the car came to a steady stop at the main building of Chen Mo’s private estate in Greentown · Shanghai Rose Garden. Servants were already waiting there. Seeing Chen Mo and the others get out, they hurried forward to open the car door, saying:

”Mr. Chen, lunch is ready.”

”Mhm, good.”

Chen Mo nodded and led the way into the main building.

The four women followed behind into the dining room next to the living room, where a lavish lunch was already prepared on the table.

”Wow, it smells amazing. I’m just getting hungry,”

Dilraba Dilmurat, the little foodie, spoke first, breaking the silence.

”Eat up. After you finish, go do whatever you need to do. I have things to attend to this afternoon,”

Chen Mo shook his head with a smile upon hearing Dilraba Dilmurat’s voice.

They all sat down and began eating with their chopsticks.

Yang Mi picked up a piece of spare rib and placed it in Chen Mo’s bowl, saying:

”Chen Mo, eat more. You must be tired after being busy all morning.”

”Mhm!”

Guli Nazha also followed suit, picking up a piece of fish and putting it in Chen Mo’s bowl:

”Chen Mo, this fish is very tender. Try it.”

Dilraba Dilmurat’s eyes darted around. She picked up a piece of beef and said:

”Chen Mo, eat beef for strength!”

Liu Yifei smiled and also placed a piece of meat in Chen Mo’s bowl.

”Here, Chen Mo, have some meat. This isn’t greasy.”

One moment she was putting meat, another moment someone else was adding vegetables, and then another was serving soup.

Chen Mo looked at the small mountain of food piled before him, with two bowls of soup beside it, and said helplessly:

”Are you guys trying to fatten me up like a pig?! Eat your own food and stop putting things in my bowl. Finish up and get going with whatever you need to do!”

Yang Mi said with a laugh:

”We’re just worried about you.”

Dilraba Dilmurat chimed in:

”Exactly, Chen Mo. You need to eat more to have the energy for your work.”

Guli Nazha didn’t speak but quietly added another chopstickful of greens to Chen Mo’s bowl.

The meal took over half an hour to finish. Chen Mo rubbed his stomach and put down his chopsticks. Although his physical fitness was good, these energetic girls had gone too far—most of the dishes on the table had ended up in his stomach.

Seeing the situation, Yang Mi said:

”I have work at my studio, so I’ll head out first!”

After speaking, she got up and headed for the door.

”Mhm.” Chen Mo nodded.

Dilraba Dilmurat and Guli Nazha quickly followed, getting up after Yang Mi:

”Chen Mo, we’re leaving too. We have a shoot this afternoon.”

Liu Yifei also said from the side:

”I’m off too. I need to check on things at the company!”

Chen Mo waved his hand, really not wanting to speak anymore.

After the four left, the estate instantly quieted down. Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, scrolling through his phone to check on Tianxing Short Video’s status.

Opening the backend, he saw the download count had surpassed 250 million, with the comment section full of praise. He then put down his phone, leaned back in the chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

Unconsciously, the sky darkened, and night enveloped the entire Rose Garden.

Chen Mo had a simple dinner and waited in the living room for Liu Yifei’s arrival. He had called her in the afternoon, asking her to come to the estate in the evening.

About half an hour later, Liu Yifei walked in. She had changed into a light-colored set of home clothes, her long hair casually tied up.

Liu Yifei entered the living room, saw Chen Mo leaning on the sofa playing with his phone, walked up to him, and said with a smile:

”Chen Mo, I’m here.”

Without a word, Chen Mo immediately stood up, stretched out his arms, and scooped Liu Yifei up in one swift motion.

Liu Yifei let out a gasp of surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms around Chen Mo’s neck. Her cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and she said in a soft voice:

”Chen Mo, you... what are you doing?”

”You.”

Chen Mo expressed everything in a single word.

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment before understanding.

Her face pressed against Chen Mo’s warm chest, too shy to look up. Her heart was a mix of bashfulness and sweetness. Her whole body seemed to go limp, devoid of any strength, allowing Chen Mo to hold her.

Holding Liu Yifei, Chen Mo walked step by step towards the master bedroom on the second floor.

Liu Yifei secretly lifted her head, looked at Chen Mo’s cleanly defined jawline, couldn’t help but let the corners of her mouth curl up, then quickly lowered her head again, her face turning even redder.

Pushing open the master bedroom door, Chen Mo carried Liu Yifei inside, used his heel to close the door behind them, and gently placed her on the soft, large bed.

Liu Yifei lay on the bed, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with emotion. Her long eyelashes fluttered lightly like a startled fawn. Her hands gripped the bedsheet tightly, her gaze evasive, not daring to look directly at Chen Mo.

Looking at Liu Yifei like this, Chen Mo’s breathing grew rapid.

He slowly lowered his head. Liu Yifei trembled all over as if an electric current had passed through her.

Their breaths intertwined.
