The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 17

That man started sizing her up from head to toe. His entire gaze was focused and unblinking, which made Mo Keyu really uncomfortable.

She started copying him, scanning him up and down too.

But this guy was so full of himself that when Mo Keyu gave him that greasy once-over, he thought she was into him and immediately grinned from ear to ear, "I think we'll get along really well in the future. Here, this is my contact."

After speaking, he glanced around like he was up to something shady and slipped her a phone number like he was sneaking contraband, even leaning in to whisper:

"Same number on WeChat."

[Who even is this guy? Why is he so full of himself?]

[Wei Nan, Film Emperor Wei. International movie star. Backed by the powerful Shen family. His wife is the granddaughter of Master Shen. Most of his resources come from the Shen family. His breakout film was also funded by them. Later, his wife got pregnant, and he secretly cheated behind her back. His whole team helped cover it up.]

[Huh? He better not mess with me.]

Even though he didn't know why, there were strange voices in his head. Already guilty to begin with, hearing those creepy whispers made him even more skittish:

"Of course, I just want to be regular friends. You know, it's lonely at the top, and I want someone to talk to... don't read too much into it."

He explained from the side. At first, he approached Mo Keyu because she looked sweet, but the more he interacted with her, the more off she seemed. This young lady had too much contrast—it even gave him a sense of foreboding.

[If you're feeling lonely, go find a therapist. What are you doing talking to some random woman?]

"I hope you don't get the wrong idea either. After all, you're the great Movie Emperor Wei who's admired by all. You should always watch your behavior. One slip could become a regret for life."

Mo Keyu spoke with hidden meaning, then pulled out that piece of paper and tossed it back at him right to his face.

Wei Nan took back the note, looking a bit dumbfounded. This was the first time someone had straight-up thrown his number back at him without a second thought.

This girl was definitely not easy to mess with.

She wasn't some obedient rich family girl—more like a tiger in sheep's clothing. Impossible to figure out.

"Well then, forget it." he said, his tone suddenly flat. He didn't say another word to Mo Keyu and just walked away.

Rather than walking away, his back looked more like he was running away.

[Ahahahahahahahahahaha.]

Mo Keyu laughed wildly in her head, and quite a few people nearby felt their minds buzz and glanced over at her.

Mo Keyu, after enjoying herself, kept munching on sweets while listening to the system gossip about all the young masters and misses at the event.

Right then, she spotted a familiar figure.

That person was wearing a flashy short formal dress, had applied a lot of powder to make her skin look fairer, and her hair was clearly freshly styled.

Mo Keyu looked over. The other person seemed to notice her too, but deliberately avoided her gaze and slowly disappeared from sight.

"Y-Young Master Shen, what brings you here?" someone on the luxury yacht couldn't help exclaiming.

The man had sharp, well-defined features, sword-like brows, starry eyes, and deep, piercing pupils. His nose was tall and straight, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance.

He was tall, broad-shouldered, with a narrow waist and long legs that instantly outshone everyone else. No matter how simple his outfit was, it couldn't hide his commanding presence.

The man made a gesture, signaling the person to stay quiet. That person quickly shut their mouth.

"Get me a seat," he said, voice low and rich, "next to Wei Nan."

"Y-yes, of course."

With that, the man draped in a windbreaker walked straight into the yacht's grand hall.

He stood at the entrance, scanning the room as if searching for someone.

Soon, his gaze landed on that person—it wasn't hard to spot a top actor with such fame and looks.

But standing beside that man... was a stunning woman.

Shen Mingli's eyes turned dark and unreadable.

Ding ding ding—

His phone rang several times. Someone was blowing up his messages.

He pulled out his phone. It was from his cousin:

—Cousin, have you seen Nannan?

—He said he was on a yacht talking about a business deal, but I'm still worried.

—Cousin, this feeling keeps getting stronger. I'm pregnant and not feeling well, but I keep smelling someone else's perfume on him.

—He told me he had a girlfriend before. Nannan's way older than me, so it's normal he had a girlfriend when he was young and dumb, but he said he completely cut ties with them after we got married.

—But Cousin, I still feel uneasy. Please, Cousin.

—Cousin, I saw Nannan acting with a bunch of pretty girls lately. He's got such a strong sex drive, I'm honestly scared...

............

A whole string of messages came in one after another without any break. After reading them all, Shen Mingli only replied with one line:

—Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him for you.

Only then did the other side go quiet. The messages stopped, and Shen Mingli shut off his phone.

Wei Nan was a bit far away, so it wasn't clear what was going on, but it looked like he was talking to that woman.

Just as he started heading in that direction, Wei Nan left—like he was hiding something.

In everyone's eyes, Movie Emperor Wei was a great actor, a good guy, and a golden bachelor who stayed chaste for his one true love from the past.

But actually, Wei Nan had been secretly married for a while. His wife was even connected to the Shen family. Most of the ads and dramas he got were tied to the Shen family—same with that "Movie Emperor" title.

Usually, Wei Nan acted all proper in front of them. Xiaoli loved talking him up in front of the Shen family, and since Old Man Shen spoiled Xiaoli so much, he gradually let his guard down around Wei Nan.

But...

Shen Mingli wasn't the type to tolerate even a grain of sand in his eye, no matter who the guy was.

Seeing Wei Nan walk away, he headed toward the woman he'd just been talking to. But before he could say anything, a burst of wild laughter suddenly rang out.

Shen Mingli: ...?
