Chapter 462: Well, my biological son turned into an adopted son!

Lin Mo and Re Ba still hadn't reacted.

Then came a series of "click-click-click" shutter sounds going off one after another.

A swarm of reporters instantly surrounded the two.

Lin Mo instinctively moved to shield Re Ba behind him.

Good grief, these reporters were all dressed up in disguise; who knows when they had ambushed the perimeter of Lin Mo's residential complex...

Likewise.

The commotion also drew the attention of people nearby.

People, after all, are curious.

So they too gathered around, wondering what was going on.

"Director Lin, what are your box-office expectations for Speed and Passion 2? Can it surpass the first film?"

"Ms. Re Ba, did you appear in a role in The Dark Knight?"

"Director Lin, seeing you constantly protecting Re Ba, are you getting ready to have a baby soon?"

"Ms. Re Ba, are you satisfied with your mother-in-law regarding you as a star daughter-in-law? Is there any pressure to have children?"

"Director Lin, how long do you plan to stay in Lu Zhou this time?"

"......"

These people simply wouldn't give Lin Mo a chance to speak.

They even shoved microphones right up to his mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Mo shielded Re Ba and stepped back half a step, raising his hand to signal the reporters to be quiet: "Three questions, and after you're done we'll go home for dinner."

The first male reporter with glasses seized the chance: "Director Lin, can Speed and Passion 2 surpass the first film's box-office record?"

"That's a great question—this time we shot 47% more car-chase scenes than the first film, and the insurance company almost refused to cover the King Building scene. What do you say?" Upon hearing Lin Mo's answer, the crowd burst into laughter.

The second female reporter, with a ponytail, quickly chimed in, speaking fluent Lu Zhou dialect—obviously she's a local station reporter.

She then asked: "Ms. Re Ba, will you be appearing in a role in Batman?"

Re Ba peeked out from behind Lin Mo, gave a sly smile, and said: "That question—you should ask the director; we actors have signed confidentiality agreements~"

The reporters immediately went into an uproar, with shutter sounds popping off one after another.

The local female reporter's eyes lit up, and she pressed further in even stronger dialect: "Ms. Re Ba, you mean you really did take part in it?"

Seeing this, Lin Mo hastily pulled his wife behind him, but Re Ba instead slipped out from under his arm, blinked her big eyes, and said: "I didn't say anything at all~" After saying that she made a zip-the-lips gesture, though her eyes and brows betrayed her amusement.

"Ms. Re Ba, your expression already says it all!" a young male reporter shouted.

Others joined in the clamor:

"Exactly, exactly!"

"This is clearly an admission!"

"Director Lin, we'll all chip in to buy you a movie ticket when it comes out!"

"One ticket isn't enough—I'll bring my whole family to watch!!!"

"......"

Hearing everyone's goodwill, Lin Mo also smiled.

However,

Looking around, the crowd kept growing, everyone holding up their phones to film, their excited expressions showing they couldn't help but recognize Lin Mo and Re Ba.

He could still hear the murmurs around him.

"What the heck, it's Director Lin!"

"Finally seeing the alive Director Lin, the alive Re Ba..."

Lin Mo wanted to say, "Dude, I'm not dead yet.."

Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly said: "Last question!"

"You, the guy from Rong Cheng Television!"

Lin Mo spotted the reporter wearing the Rong Cheng Television badge and called on him.

He did this to avoid any stampede incident—after all, his fame is huge now.

Anything that happens would instantly become news.

The Rong Cheng Television reporter, clearly a bit taken aback, hurriedly asked: "Director Lin, seeing how you're protecting Re Ba, are you getting ready to have a baby?"

"Whoa!"

"That question just came out."

The scene instantly went into an uproar.

Re Ba's little face turned red, and she shrank back behind Lin Mo.

Lin Mo reached out and pulled the shy Re Ba behind him into his embrace: "This question..."

"I'd like to, but she says we have to wait until I turn over my salary before considering it~"

"I..." Re Ba, embarrassed, stamped her foot, flushed, and covered his mouth, saying: "When did I ever say something like that!"

The crowd instantly erupted in uproar.

The Rong Cheng Television reporter, seizing the moment, pressed: "So Director Lin, are you admitting you're preparing for pregnancy?"

"I haven't admitted anything." Lin Mo blinked, then suddenly grabbed Re Ba and took off running: "But right now I need to take my household leader home for dinner first, or else they'll dock my allowance later!"

Lin Mo pulled Re Ba as they jogged into the complex, and she didn't forget to wave back at the reporters: "Remember to come see Speed and Passion 2~!"

"Absolutely!"

"We'll buy out the whole theater in support!"

"Director Lin, remember to hand out the wedding candy!"

"......"

Lin Mo pulled Re Ba along as they jogged, and behind them came the reporters' shouts rising and falling.

Meanwhile, Re Ba laughed while running, unable to catch her breath.

"Slow, slow down!" Re Ba panted, "My shoe's about to come off!"

Lin Mo looked back, confirmed no one was chasing them, then slowed his pace, but still tightly gripped her hand: "Who let you just now turn back and wave at the reporters? You were afraid they wouldn't catch up, right?"

Re Ba stuck out her tongue, her cheeks flushed from running: "I'm not doing this just to promote the movie~" Saying that, she suddenly tiptoed, leaned close to Lin Mo's ear and whispered softly: "Besides, you said you'd turn over your salary, and I still haven't settled the score with you!"

"Cough cough, how come I didn't turn it over? You forgot that project worth several hundred million?"

"Ahhh, you're being a rascal again!!!"

Fortunately, the reporters didn't catch up, and fortunately Lin Mo ran fast.

However.

I guess he won't get any peace this time either.

Once it's exposed online, everyone will probably know where his residential compound is.

This side.

Upon opening the door and returning home, Lin Mo's mother saw the two panting and was stunned.

Because Lin Mo brought Re Ba back, he hadn't specifically told his parents which day, intending to give them a surprise.

"Ah, son!"

"Xiao Di!!!"

Lin Mo's mother, upon seeing them return, was first startled, then shouted happily.

His father was watching TV on the sofa; seeing this, he also hurriedly stood up.

"Mom!" Lin Mo just opened his arms to hug his mother, but was shoved away.

Lin Mo's mother smiled, her eyes narrowing into slits, and pulled Re Ba into her arms: "Oh my, Xiao Di! You've gotten thin again!"

"Mom~" Re Ba replied sweetly, obediently returning her mother-in-law's hug.

Lin Mo stood to the side, helplessly rubbing his nose.

Well, his biological son has now become an adopted son.
