Chapter 42 一 The Domineering Bai Rich Wife and His Miraculous Mou Mou.
If a company’s artist is involved in a scandal, the company must deal with it immediately. If not handled properly, it could seriously damage the artist’s future career.
So, as soon as Bai Ruogu arrived at the company today, his agent came in with an aggressive manner and slammed the documents onto his desk, reprimanding him sternly.
“You’ve gone too far. Do you realize how much influence you have now? You can’t just go out casually like this. Now look, you’ve been caught by the reporters. What are you going to do about it?”
As he spoke, the agent’s face took on an angry expression. Since he was an AI, his expressions weren’t very vivid, so he imitated an example from the StarNet, which turned out like this——
(▼皿▼#)
Bai Ruogu, who was organizing documents:…
He cleared his throat as he looked at Su Mou’s expression, his fingers pressing down on the corners of his mouth that wanted to curl up, suppressing his smile.
Bai Ruogu went with the flow and continued to act according to Su Mou’s plot.
He first appeared very surprised, pretending to be nervous as he quickly checked the hot topic on the StarNet.
In the picture, because of his cover, Su Mou didn’t reveal much.
In addition, when he placed his hand on the ball and caressed it, the ball was stimulated and became more transparent. It just so happened that the curtains behind him were wheat-colored, which gave everyone the illusion that it was a person.
Seeing this, Bai Ruogu raised his eyebrows slightly, but outwardly, he pretended to be very flustered, nervously staring at Su Mou.
“I… I didn’t know there were paparazzi following me… What should I do now?”
Su Mou looked straight at Bai Ruogu. In fact, he wasn’t angry, but the protocol told him that the agent should be angry at this point!
He stared at Bai Ruogu’s “sincere” expression, searching for the next strategy in the space.
He “frowned” and pretended to be professional as he took two steps, then sighed mechanically.
“The best thing to do now is to…” His voice was just about to speak when the main consciousness stopped him and resisted this suggestion.
Main consciousness: No! Ruogu belongs to him, he can’t be pushed away!
Agent: …
He didn’t know how to proceed next.
Luckily, Bai Ruogu gave him a way out at this moment.
“No!” Bai Ruogu showed a sad and reluctant expression. “He’s my lover, I can’t do this.”
The agent, hearing this, continued to play his role.
“You must do this, I’m your agent!”
Main consciousness also refused: No, I want Ruogu, you can’t do this.
Bai Ruogu: “No! I can’t!”
Agent: “You must.”
Main consciousness: Absolutely not.
In this way, the three of them were in a tug of war. Before Bai Ruogu could tease his lover much, he saw him freeze up and stand straight.
“What’s wrong?” Bai Ruogu asked anxiously.
Su Mou blinked: “I’ve crashed.”
Bai Ruogu: …
Finally, Bai Ruogu also learned the common approach of the public, neither clarifying nor admitting, maintaining a vague attitude.
For the fans, if their brother didn’t admit it, it meant nothing. There was no news in the circle, and some even thought Bai Ruogu was just hyping things up.
Preparations for the web series were ready, and with the support of various interests, the opening ceremony was grandly held.
Just the day before, Bai Ruogu finally had some free time. He looked over his schedule and sighed.
… It’s time to meet the people above.
Back when the variety show came out, he received an invitation to enroll from the principal of the Imperial Mecha Academy.
At first he was stunned for a moment, then he refused in silence.
It’s not that he didn’t want to go, but he was too interested.
He has a clear understanding of himself. Although he is interested in acting, he can control himself. As for scientific research… I guess he will be hooked as soon as he starts.
It might not just be a matter of a few days, but perhaps his whole life.
He thought there would be no more contact after that, but they persisted, sending emails every other day. They didn’t ask him to enroll now, but proposed a meeting between the two of them.
After this stalemate, Bai Ruogu finally agreed.
They agreed to meet at a high-end venue.
In the private room, an energetic old man poured a cup of tea for Bai Ruogu and asked him with a smile.
“Xiao Bai, to be honest, you are a promising young man. It would be a pity if you didn’t pursue scientific research.”
Bai Ruogu responded with a smile. He lifted the teacup, took a sip, and then set it down.
“Not bad, the craftsmanship is very good.”
After saying that, he leaned back in his chair and looked at the principal with a smile.
“What is your name?”
Principal: ??
He was stunned for a moment, then coughed, “My surname is Sun.”
“Ah…” Bai Ruogu murmured softly, “Xiao Sun.”
Principal: ???
He squinted his eyes, feeling a bit uneasy. This kid Bai Ruogu seemed a bit strange?
The two chatted for a while, having a good time talking about mecha.
Nowadays, even though Bai Ruogu read scientific books for two hours every day, there were still some things he hadn’t heard of.
Principal Sun was the same. When Bai Ruogu left back then, many theories hadn’t been disseminated, and some still hadn’t been studied by people today.
After talking about technology, they moved on to life.
“Guess what my name is?” Principal Sun teased Bai Ruogu.
How could Bai Ruogu know? He shook his head, and Principal Sun sighed.
“Like you, I was born into a mecha family. My entire family venerates our ancestor, so I share the same name with him.”
As he spoke, he dipped his finger in tea and wrote three characters on the table in front of Bai Ruogu.
Sun Ruogu.
Bai Ruogu: …
With a smile, Principal Sun looked at him.
“Xiao Bai, I really like your name. Would you consider becoming my apprentice?” He spoke while reminiscing about something.
“Actually, I always regarded our ancestor as my master. What do you think? Isn’t this fate?”
Bai Ruogu: …
This is called rebellion and disrespecting your master.
Seeing Bai Ruogu’s indifference, Principal Sun didn’t force him. He seemed to think of something and took a small transparent box out of his pocket, placing it on the table.
“Do you recognize this material?” He looked at Bai Ruogu with interest.
Bai Ruogu lowered his head, and as he saw the faint blue hue, his eyes flickered slightly.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, Principal Sun continued, “This is aquamarine crystal, a new material currently used as a conductor. It’s not only expensive but also not very practical.”
Bai Ruogu paused, then looked up, his voice tinged with doubt, “Not very practical?”
“Isn’t it?” Principal Sun sighed. “Developing aquamarine crystal has always been the Empire’s top research topic. Recently, the head of the research institute said that whoever can make aquamarine crystal move on its own will get his position.”
Bai Ruogu’s eyes flickered, and he clenched his hand under the table.
As it was getting late, Principal Sun let Bai Ruogu go back first, while he stayed there to think.
Bai Ruogu nodded and left.
As soon as he stepped out of the building, he was greeted by bright sunlight and an open expanse of space. Bai Ruogu paused for a moment, then turned his back to the building and walked away.
He didn’t see a small meteor streak across the sky behind him, leaving a fleeting scene.
At the same time, in the private room’s side door, the chief of staff’s finger twitched, as if sensing something, and he looked up at the sky.
In the air, the sound of a lighter flicking was heard, and the smell of smoke spread everywhere.
“Why is this kid Bai Ruogu so lacking in spirit? He’s far behind his father!” The marshal’s strong voice was taunting as he leaned back in his chair, resting one leg on the table.
“Get down.” The chief of staff’s voice was steady.
He seemed to smell the smoke, his brows furrowing, his tone unkind.
“Who allowed you to smoke? Put it out!”
The marshal’s hand paused, and he cursed, “Who do you think you are, bossing me around?”
The chief of staff’s chest heaved as he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
“You, put away your cigar, put on your coat properly, and don’t wear it carelessly. I hate sloppy appearances. Also, put your legs down and sit up straight.”
The marshal, who had been fighting wars for years, had long since developed a casual demeanor. Hearing the chief of staff’s tone made him even angrier.
“Who the hell do you think you are, telling me what to do? I do what I like!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the room.
The marshal stood aside, breathing heavily, glaring viciously at the chief of staff who stood there holding a gun.
“Ruthless! You’re f*cking ruthless! You’ve been targeting me all these years and no one else!”
After saying that, he flung his clothes aside and strode out the door.
Principal Sun, who was outside, heard the commotion and nervously came over.
“What happened? This…”
The marshal spat on the ground and gave a backward glance.
“What else could it be? This guy can’t stand soldiers at all!”
After saying this, he left the place.
When Principal Sun went in, he saw the chief of staff sitting on the sofa, looking exhausted with his eyes tightly closed.
. . . . .
On Bai Ruogu’s way back, he saw a children’s clothing store.
Inside, there were shoes, socks, everything from top to bottom, and even mini wardrobes.
In the past, Bai Ruogu was not interested in this, but he suddenly thought of something, and his smile gradually broadened…
In his rental room, Bai Ruogu placed the mini wardrobe in his own room, even setting up a mini changing room.
Then, he picked up a notebook and pen and started sketching at the desk.
Su Mou, after being fed a battery, regained consciousness. Seeing Bai Ruogu sitting at the desk waving at him, he tilted his head and jumped over.
Bai Ruogu squinted and smiled, pointing to the sketch on the desk and said, “Ah Mou, can you transform according to this design?”
The ball: ?
It stretched itself out, then bent its head down to look below.
On the drawing, there was a chibi-style naked human figure.
The ball wobbled, then nodded.
The elongated blue object gradually stretched, extended limbs, and its body significantly shrank.
It even had a head, with several indentations on its face forming features.
The little dark blue figure was a big-headed doll, and after it was formed, it curiously tried to walk on the desk with its little feet, almost falling over due to lack of balance.
Bai Ruogu quickly supported it. Looking at the soft, approximately forty-centimeter-tall chibi doll in front of him, his heart melted.
He picked up the small clothes he had prepared long ago and handed them to the little doll. The little doll had no hands, so he took them with his arms, raised his head, and his large blue eyes turned around, looking curiously.
“Mou-ya! Try on these clothes and let me see if it looks good on you.”
Little doll: ?
It looked around, as if searching for something.
Bai Ruogu had already prepared for this. He took out a changing room made from a cardboard box and placed it on the desk.
“Go in first, I’ll guard the door for you.”
The little doll nodded and walked in with a “creaking” sound.
When it finished changing and came out, Bai Ruogu’s eyes lit up, and he quickly took photos with his smart brain.
After everything was done, he picked up the little doll and personally helped it put on the mini shoes, even tying the laces.
Then, he put on a hat and sunglasses, making it look like a small doll.
Bai Ruogu was now completely in love with it and directly hugged the little doll and kissed it.
Little doll: !
Somehow, the little doll changed color. His dark blue body had a hint of pink…
