CHAPTER 176: CHAPTER 176: DID YOU JUST TAKE BAI BAI DOWN LIKE THAT?

Hearing his concession, Bella Green raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

However, she was not satisfied with this answer.

She wasn’t acting out of a temporary curiosity or for fun; rather, she wanted to truly treat acting as her profession.

But since Mason Bennett had already budged a little, she naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to keep haggling over this matter.

Bella Green sat up straight and quickly fastened her seatbelt.

Afraid that if this man had another whim, she would fly out through the windshield.

Looking at the bag of chips crumbled to pieces in her arms, and the yogurt spilled everywhere, Bella’s face instantly turned dark. Damn it, this was a costume!

Even thinking with the heel of her foot, she knew that when she went back, Bryce Xavier would definitely make her pay for it...

...

The car stopped at the gate of a villa at Fragrant Forest Riverside.

Bella Green got out of the car and ran towards the villa entrance, not for anything else, but because her outfit, once out of the film set, looked too bizarre.

Standing at the door, she looked back at the man slowly stopping the car, feeling a bit anxious as she asked.

"Mason, what’s your house’s door code?"

Mason glanced at her indifferently and casually recited a string of numbers.

Bella Green entered the code and went inside.

The chip crumbs were shaken off, but the yogurt on her clothes couldn’t be wiped away.

Bella Green muttered in frustration as she tugged at her clothes and walked inside.

"Ah!!"

A surprised voice suddenly rang out, scaring Bella into a halt, nearly making her jump.

Looking towards the sound, she saw an elderly lady in a floral qipao glaring at her with bright eyes at the staircase.

Bella’s mouth twitched. Why was Mrs. Jiang here?

"Ahhh!!! So handsome, so cute, so charming." The old lady screamed and rushed over.

Bella let the old lady spin her around, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Grandma..."

"Oh my, my dear Bella looks so beautiful in this outfit." The old lady smiled, her eyes curved into crescents.

Suddenly, her eyes caught a glimpse of the white stain on Bella’s abdomen, and she instantly widened her eyes, her mouth dropping open enough to fit an egg.

Then, looking at Bella in shock and then at her clothes, the usually quick-witted old lady seemed a bit slow on the uptake.

"Bella, have you and Mason progressed so quickly?" After a while, the old lady finally asked straightforwardly.

Bella: "???"

Progressed in what?

After a while, Bella followed the old lady’s gaze downwards, and her expression twisted.

Oh shit!

How did she not notice before that the yogurt stain was in such an... indescribable spot.

"Grandma, it’s yogurt." Bella’s temples throbbed as she stressed the word yogurt.

She thought that by saying this, the old lady would finally understand.

But...

The old lady just gave her an "I understand" look, nodded, and said with a hint of perfunctory in her voice, "Yeah, I understand, Grandma’s been there, done that."

Bella: "..."

"I’m going to change clothes first."

Bella rubbed her temples, fearing that continuing the conversation would lead it further astray, better let Mason explain it.

"Alright, alright, go ahead."

Mrs. Jiang said with a mischievous smile, her tone filled with deep meaning.

Bella held her forehead, unable to watch any longer.

Then she rapidly ran upstairs.

Mason came in to see this very scene.

He was a bit surprised why Mrs. Jiang was here.

The old lady approached with a mischievous smile, giving him a light pat.

"You boy, you move pretty fast, have you already captured Bella?"
