Chapter 42: Re Ba: Find a Boyfriend Early, Enjoy Happiness Sooner!

Of course.

Lin Mo not only bought the rights to Steal Pen; he had Liu Qin handle negotiations for all the hit dramas he knows about.

As a transmigrator.

Modern web dramas are definitely mainstream!

While no one's paying attention to this niche, let's buy the rights first.

Meanwhile.

Re Ba is out shopping with Bai Lu.

Since they finished filming Ban Shu's Legend, they haven't met.

But they keep in touch on WeChat.

Look.

Bai Lu's agency just landed her a drama, and it happens to be filming in Mo Du.

The drama won't start filming until after the New Year.

But Bai Lu thought, since Re Ba is in Mo Du, it's a good chance to meet and strengthen their bond.

Of course.

Don't think of Bai Lu as so mercenary; she and Re Ba already have a great relationship.

While filming Ban Shu's Legend, they often went out to eat delicious food together.

She just thought that now that she knows Re Ba's boyfriend is the newly rising talented director Lin Mo, their relationship would become even closer.

That evening, at a hot‑pot restaurant.

Lin Mo arrived a little early.

Not long after,

Re Ba and Bai Lu entered the private room hand in hand.

"Director Lin!"

Seeing Lin Mo, Bai Lu hurried to greet him.

This meeting is different from the last.

The last time.

She didn't know Lin Mo's background, only that he was Re Ba's boyfriend.

Lin Mo looked up, smiling broadly, and replied, "Hello, Bai Lu, long time no see!"

At noon, Re Ba messaged him, saying Bai Lu had come to Mo Du to hang out with her.

Re Ba sat beside Lin Mo, leaning close, and began recounting the day's shopping fun, her voice sweet: "Mo Ge, Lulu's new drama is filming in Mo Du, she came especially to find me."

Lin Mo curiously asked about Bai Lu's plans: "Aren't you planning to go home for the New Year this year?"

It's almost New Year already, and she's still filming; Bai Lu is really hardworking.

Hearing that,

Bai Lu smiled and shook her head: "No, no, the drama starts after the New Year; I mainly came to hang out with Re Ba."

And Bai Lu, watching Re Ba's cutesy, bird‑like demeanor in front of Lin Mo, couldn't help teasing: "Re Ba, this shy look is the first time I've seen it!"

Earlier, while filming on set.

Re Ba's personality is rather reserved; when she's silent, she exudes an aura of "keep strangers away."

Who would have thought.

Privately, she's such a contrast…

Re Ba only then realized, cheeks slightly flushed, gently pushed Lin Mo's arm away, muttering, "Not at all…"

Lin Mo smiled to defuse: "That just shows the two of you are close; Re Ba only relaxes like this with her own people."

Re Ba heard this, her mouth involuntarily curved upward, happiness evident.

Hearing Lin Mo's words,

Bai Lu said seriously, "I suddenly feel a bit envious of your current situation."

Re Ba, with a happy smile, said, "You could find one too; you like handsome guys, there are plenty in the Entertainment Circle!"

She knows Bai Lu's preferences.

She's a looks‑obsessed!

When they were on set before, they always talked about who in the Entertainment Circle was handsome.

"Me… I'll pass. Even meals are a problem now; where's the time to look for a boyfriend?" Bai Lu shook her head.

Although she does indeed like handsome guys.

But to find a boyfriend—

She truly hasn't thought about that.

Mainly, she's focusing on work now.

She's still a little invisible in the Entertainment Circle, without backing or connections, so she has to hustle.

Thinking that,

Bai Lu genuinely envies Re Ba.

She was signed by Yang Mi Studio right after debut; not only abundant resources, but her boyfriend is also a genius director!

This…

I don't know how many people would be envious!

As they chatted, Re Ba suddenly thought of something, turned to Lin Mo and said, "Mo Ge, when you go home, don't forget to bring the gifts I prepared for uncle and aunt."

Lin Mo smiled and agreed, "Don't worry, I won't forget."

Re Ba added, "I'm also a little reluctant to see you go."

"It's not like we're at the ends of the earth; I can't stay at home long either. I'll probably be back after the New Year!" Lin Mo said.

Bai Lu, listening beside them, couldn't help laughing out loud: "You two are enough, I'm still here, this dog food is almost making me full!"

Re Ba was amused, patted Bai Lu's shoulder: "Then find one, get a boyfriend early, enjoy happiness early~"

Bai Lu pretended to be exaggerated and shouted: "Ahhh! Have mercy on me!"

The three looked at each other and laughed; the hot‑pot restaurant was filled with cheerful voices.

After finishing the hot pot, they went out.

It was about 9:30 now.

Lin Mo drove to take Bai Lu back to the hotel where she was staying.

"Lulu, see you tomorrow!" Re Ba said, waving with a smile.

"Hmm, good night, wish you sweet dreams!"

Bai Lu also smiled and waved toward the two in the car.

On the way back.

Inside the car, Re Ba's excitement remained high; she turned to Lin Mo and said, "Mo Ge, you know Lulu called me today, saying she's coming to Mo Du to hang out with me—how happy I am~"

Lin Mo smiled in reply: "I can definitely feel your enthusiasm."

He knows.

Re Ba has few close friends.

When a good friend comes to visit, she's naturally overjoyed.

As they kept talking.

The topic shifted, and Re Ba brought up Yang Mi again: "It seems Mi Jie will, after the New Year, start a company with Ceng Jia!"

Lin Mo nodded, indicating he knew; he had previously heard Yang Mi briefly mention the plan.

"I guess after the New Year, Mi Jie will start taking on roles crazily again!"

Speaking of this, Re Ba couldn't help admiring: "Mi Jie is the most hardworking actress I've ever seen; that kind of passion for work is simply unattainable."

"That's because she's smart, knowing a star's bloom period is short. Don't be fooled by her current popularity; in a few years she might be replaced by newcomers, and then the audience won't buy her anymore. Look at how many big‑name stars were once huge and now have vanished!" Lin Mo said.

Re Ba listened and nodded seriously.

She's naturally not stupid.

Hearing Mo Ge say that, she also understood.

At this point, Re Ba suddenly turned to look at Lin Mo, admiration flashing in her eyes: "Mo Ge, you're still the best!"

Lin Mo, while driving, had a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Of course, your man isn't great; who is?"
