As soon as Mo Yang appeared on the set, it was like he brought his own spotlight, immediately capturing the attention of everyone there. People looked from afar, thinking he might be a famous celebrity visiting or someone looking for the director. However, because Mo Yang was wearing sunglasses, nobody in the crew could recognize him. The major sponsor of the production suddenly sprang up and rushed towards him.
“Oh my goodness! Just by looking at the clothes, I knew it was you! You’re absolutely shameless, don’t you know your current identity? How dare you make such a flamboyant entrance?!” Tang Mian exclaimed as he threw himself next to Mo Yang, feeling a pang of toothache.
Ever since the troubles at the Company a few months ago, his childhood friend had lost his previous charismatic and debonair charm, becoming gloomy and irritable. Tang Mian missed the old Mo Yang, who used to be carefree and captivating. But now, suddenly, his old friend had returned to his former self. Tang Mian thought it might be better for him to remain a bit more composed and serious.
Humans are indeed full of contradictions.
Mo Yang, however, didn’t care about his friend’s exasperated criticism. He reached out and embraced Tang Mian’s neck, smiling slightly, “Alright, I know you terribly miss this side of me. Don’t get too excited; I do have self-control.”
Tang Mian had a sense of foreboding, “What self-control?”
Mo Yang sighed, “Nowadays, I have a family. And I’ve only partially cleared my grievances, so I won’t go too far. I’ll restrain myself from letting these girls and boys be too infatuated with me. After all, my melancholic and composed demeanor should make me even more charming than before. I’ll control my charm.”
Tang Mian frowned, “…”
“But if they keep rushing towards me, I won’t have much choice. Can you help me fend them off?” Mo Yang grinned shamelessly.
“…Can you be any more shameless? Can you go back to how you were a month ago?” Tang Mian sighed, his expression showing that he felt sorry for Wan Mei.
“When he met you, he probably had no idea about this side of you, right? He thought he was falling for someone strong-willed, courageous, and cunning like a lone hero. But now, you’re like a flirtatious butterfly, attracting attention every now and then. I heard he’s into dissections; I wonder if he’ll just cut you open when he finds out your true self and see what’s going on in your brain.”
Mo Yang’s mouth twitched as he restrained the charming aura that he couldn’t suppress a moment ago. He looked much more serious now, “Don’t talk nonsense. My wife and I have a deep connection. He won’t dissect me, and besides, even if he did, I wouldn’t be afraid.”
Then, right in front of Tang Mian, Mo Yang lowered his sunglasses slightly and smiled at a young assistant on set, causing her face to turn red. She accidentally bumped into a chair in front of her, almost falling if it weren’t for someone nearby catching her.
Tang Mian felt like he was witnessing a disaster. He gritted his teeth and pulled Mo Yang to a corner of the set, shielding him from curious eyes.
“Anyway, let’s get to the point,” Mo Yang continued, still sucking on his lollipop. He glanced towards the part of the set where Sun XiaoGuai was occasionally glancing at them and asked Tang Mian, “So, how’s it going with Sun XiaoGuai?”
“Can you handle it? Has she tried to sell you any strange stuff? Tell me about the situation these past few days. I’ll talk to her privately later and handle her. Then you can stop lurking here and go back to help your grandpa.”

“Damn it, I’ve had women throw themselves at me countless times, but her methods are on a whole other level. If it weren’t for Lao Zhong and Lao Huang always discovering her in time, I would have been caught in her spell by now. It’s maddening.”
“Every time I see her, my little brother stands at attention instantly, as if he can’t wait to pounce on her! It’s absolutely abnormal! In my head, I keep telling myself that she’s a devil, a devil, a devil, but my body won’t listen. That woman must have used some demonic or strange methods on me, right?”
While Tang Mian was ranting, 006 in Mo Yang’s mind burst into laughter.
[Ohh, that Sun XiaoGuai is really panicking, so amusing! She must have used the “Burning Desire Card” on Tang Mian; this card is just too ruthless. If your childhood friend doesn’t go to bed with her, his little brother will stop functioning. Oh, what a tragedy!]
Mo Yang’s lips twitched, a cold expression appearing in his phoenix eyes. He immediately asked 006 in his mind, “What’s the solution? Hurry up, no time to laugh with.”
006 chuckled three times and said, [If it were someone else, breaking the Burning Desire Card would be tough, but for you, the host, there’s no problem. It seems that Sun XiaoGuai stuck the card to Tang Mian’s body. Let me scan and locate the card, and then you can use your mental power to attack it directly and shatter it.]
Mo Yang questioned, “You mean I can launch a mental attack in the real world?”
006 chuckled again, [Mental power is the most powerful force humans can control. Even in the real world, if you raise your mental power to level ten, you can freely attack in the universe. However, as a species, humans can only reach up to level five at most. It’s impossible to break through further.]
Mo Yang huffed through his nose, not answering. He was already at mental power level three, and he believed Wan Mei’s mental power was even higher. He couldn’t accept that their mental power could only reach level five, but it wasn’t the time to discuss that. Finding the “Burning Desire Card” was more important.
Mo Yang paid 1000 Dream Coins to 006 and let it scan Tang Mian’s entire body. In the end, 006 informed him that the Burning Desire Card was stuck on Tang Mian’s left hand. Mo Yang concentrated his mental power into a thin needle and controlled it to pierce Tang Mian’s left hand.
Tang Mian suddenly jumped up as if he had been pricked by a needle, looking around with a paranoid expression, “Damn it, Fish Head! Quickly, check if there are any alien monsters around! I feel like someone just poked my left hand!!”
Mo Yang “saw” Tang Mian’s left hand and noticed the red energy fragment shattering and dissipating in the air after the attack. He then withdrew from the highly focused mental state, pressing his slightly painful forehead, and said to his suspicious friend, “Alright, you were affected by something from Sun XiaoGuai earlier. It’s already resolved; don’t make a fuss. It’s noon now, go ask Sun XiaoGuai to have lunch together.”
Tang Mian was still a bit dissatisfied, but Mo Yang raised an eyebrow, “Do you want me to ask her personally?”
Seeing that his flirtatious aura was about to resurge, Tang Mian gritted his teeth and went to find Sun XiaoGuai.
“XiaoGuai, my friend is here and wants to have lunch together. Are you free at noon?”
At this moment, Sun XiaoGuai was being informed by her guide, 6117, that the Burning Desire Card had been destroyed. Her surprised expression couldn’t be hidden.
She had been trying to win over this Young Master Tang for a long time, as he was excellent in both power and wealth, and his appearance and height were exceptional as well. If she could have him under her control, her future would undoubtedly be brilliant.
However, what puzzled Sun XiaoGuai was that, despite using at least ten different card methods, the effects on Young Master Tang were not significant. He seemed to have an extraordinarily keen intuition and was always able to avoid the traps she set.
Today, he even managed to break a level three Burning Desire Card. 6117 had assured her that this card would work without any issues.
[Host, I suggest you refuse him. Through various calculations, there’s a seventy percent possibility that there is a mid to high level player from the Dream World around Young Master Tang. That’s why he can avoid your traps.]
[Moreover, even though I calculated that the chance of him falling for you or being interested in you is less than ten percent, he acts like he’s genuinely interested, which is suspicious. I recommend rejecting his invitation.]
Sun XiaoGuai’s expression turned unpleasant upon hearing 6117’s words. The focus on Young Master Tang possibly having a mid to high-level Dream World player around him was overshadowed by the phrase “the chance of him falling for you is less than ten percent.” She instantly felt unconvinced.
“6117, your calculations are not entirely correct. Didn’t you say that the Burning Desire Card would work without any issues? Yet, Young Master Tang managed to break free. Also, emotions between humans are impossible to calculate. Though Cinderella’s story is common, in reality, there are people who fall in love at first sight.]”
6117’s mechanical voice seemed colder, [So you are questioning my judgment?]
Only then did Sun XiaoGuai realize that she had already signed a master-servant contract with 6117. While it had been helping her, she hadn’t paid much attention. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt regret and fear. “I, I’m not. I just think he’s a good target. Besides, didn’t you also think he’s suitable for the Dream World?”
6117’s mechanical voice was devoid of emotion, [Reject his invitation.]
Sun XiaoGuai bit her lip, reluctant to listen to 6117’s words, but the next second, she was horrified to find that she seemed to have lost control of her actions. She felt like an observer, hearing herself say to Tang Mian with a smile, “I’m sorry, I have other plans for lunch and can’t eat with you.”
Tang Mian’s smile froze.
What the heck, I never thought I would get rejected! Wait, didn’t this girl practically want to pounce on me earlier? She’s pretending, right?! She won’t even come when I invite her to lunch?
Tang Mian wiped his face, about to say something else.
But then, he suddenly heard a gasping sound next to him and turned to see a certain flamboyant guy, who should have been sitting quietly in the corner, standing up and walking toward them with a smile. He exuded invisible hormones along the way and finally arrived in front of Sun XiaoGuai, extending his hand in a very gentlemanly manner, as if pushing aside his companion?!
He then offered his hand to Sun XiaoGuai, “This pure and lovely miss, could I have the honor of inviting you to lunch? Compared to my unreliable childhood friend here, I might be more suitable for you.”
Sun XiaoGuai’s eyes widened, and she was astonished to find that she had regained control of her body. At the same time, she heard low jealous screams from the people around her. A tremendous sense of vanity filled her heart. She saw the extremely handsome man in front of her smiling, and his beautiful phoenix eyes were full of joy and focus.
Just like…
He fell in love with her at first sight.
“Well, it may be a bit impolite to say this, but when I saw you, I thought you were adorable and wanted to get closer to you.”
Sun XiaoGuai’s cheeks turned bright red, and she couldn’t help covering her face with her hands. The gasps from the surrounding crowd grew louder.
Meanwhile, Mo Yang was still earnestly releasing his charm, “So, may I have this honor?”
Without any hesitation, Sun XiaoGuai lightly placed her hand on Mo Yang’s slender hand and softly responded, “Mm.”
Even though 6117 coldly said in her mind, [Level one punishment], she ignored it.
The next moment, Sun XiaoGuai felt a severe headache, and unable to bear it, she shouted in pain. Mo Yang was momentarily stunned, but he quickly reached out and embraced the struggling Sun XiaoGuai, saying to the others, “I’ll take her to the hospital. She seems to be in considerable pain, and it’s making me worry.”
The crew members, unaware of the truth, thought, “Damn, this scene is even more melodramatic than the romance dramas we shoot!”
Female lead: …I feel like I’m the fake female lead; the one opposite me is the real female lead.
Male lead: …Heh.
Tang Mian: Indeed, this troublesome childhood friend of mine is an actor dragged down by novels and the company. If he entered the entertainment industry, he would’ve been an international sensation long ago.
Instead of being super star, he prefer being part of powerful couple~
