C7 Yu Ke'er's Care!

Qin Mo was amused by her adorable demeanor.

"Don't argue with women! The prettier they are, the less reasonable they can be!"

Seeing Yu Ke'er's determined stance, Qin Mo knew she wouldn't let it go easily. Standing on the street and making a scene could attract unwanted attention. Some passersby were already glancing their way. Luckily, it was getting dark. Otherwise, if someone snapped a photo and posted it online, it might not be good for the young woman.

Qin Mo looked around and spotted a quiet coffee shop that seemed to have little business. He pointed to the entrance, "Let's talk inside. My treat!"

Yu Ke'er was thrilled. "You're buying me coffee, so we're friends now, right? Can we discuss the song request?" She cheerfully displayed her WhatsApp QR code.

Qin Mo chuckled and headed toward the coffee shop. Yu Ke'er felt a bit helpless with Qin Mo's indifference, yet she truly admired his talent. A song like "When Love Becomes a Memory" was something an average musician could only dream of achieving in a lifetime.

She put away her phone and eagerly followed him inside. They found a spot and sat down. Yu Ke'er placed her sparkly little purse on the table, just about to order some dessert. But Qin Mo had already ordered—a sugar-free latte and a half-sweet hot milk.

Yu Ke'er smiled and said, "I don't want milk; I prefer a cappuccino, full sugar, with whipped cream! And I want a strawberry mousse too!"

Qin Mo smiled gently and replied, "Coffee will keep you up late, and you'll have dark circles tomorrow. Sugar and cream can make you gain weight and age faster..."

In a previous life, he had managed quite a few actresses, so he knew the basics of self-care.

Ke'er retorted, "Why do you sound just like my dad, all old-fashioned?"

Qin Mo gazed out at the hazy night and chuckled, "Well, I'm almost as old as your dad. What are you doing chatting with an old guy like me?"

His meaning was clear. He was older, while she was in the prime of her youth, not on the same path.

But Ke'er disagreed, shaking her head playfully, "I call you 'uncle' just for fun! You're not old; you're only twenty-nine. With a little effort, you still look good. Don't give up on yourself!"

She giggled, her bright eyes full of mischief. "My uncle often goes to your place to listen to music. He knows your manager! So, I sweet-talked my uncle, and he asked the manager, and that's how I found out all about you!"

"I know you're from Northwich and came to Lasthold for college. You were a top student at the Galaxy Music Academy!"

"I know you signed with Starlight Entertainment when you debuted, but later got blacklisted for offending a boss!"

"I also know your bar isn't making money because you hire the best live singers, and the nightly revenue doesn't even cover their fees!"

"Look, if you help me write songs, I'll pay you a high royalty fee, and all your problems will be solved, right?"

Qin Mo frowned.

She knows quite a bit! More than he does himself!

Qin Mo sighed, "Do you know I don't want to be investigated?"

He wasn't worried about himself, but he was concerned that his secret marriage might be exposed, affecting Ling Xuerou. However, Yu Ke'er was unaware of this, and Qin Mo couldn't blame her.

"Ah, I..." Yu Ke'er paused, then whispered, "I'm sorry, I meant no harm. I just want to help you. Talented musicians shouldn't be overlooked!"

Her innocent expression appeared on her delicate, cute face.

Qin Mo shook his head, his tone distant and indifferent, "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need help."

He raised his hand, intending to call the waiter to settle the bill and end the conversation.

In a moment of urgency, Yu Ke'er placed her small hand over Qin Mo's.

"Wait, I haven't finished talking!"

The warmth from her soft hand reached his skin, leaving Qin Mo with no choice. "Go ahead."

Yu Ke'er's bright eyes blinked, "Alright, cards on the table. I'm the daughter of the chairman of Century Entertainment. I came to you because I see your potential. Whether you join us as a musician or a singer, you can bring us significant commercial value..."

Though young, she was full of clever ideas and could talk about them endlessly. Signing a contract was one thing, but more importantly, she had her eyes on the handsome and talented Qin Mo and wanted to pursue him!

Qin Mo finally understood why the young woman was so confident. It turned out she wasn't just a big social media influencer and reality TV star; she was also the daughter of the CEO of one of the top three entertainment companies in the country!

Qin Mo was even more determined not to get involved with someone like her. Looking at her eager eyes, he calmly said, "Young lady, I still prefer my freedom."

Yu Ke'er asked, "Can't we even be friends?"

"No," he replied.

She pressed on, "Do you have a girlfriend or a wife?"

Qin Mo chuckled, "Neither."

Yu Ke'er pouted, "Then why can't we be friends?"

Qin Mo answered coolly, "Because it's not appropriate."

Yu Ke'er was left speechless. While she was lost in thought, Qin Mo had already paid the bill and stood up to leave, leaving her alone to ponder his words.

"Go home," he said. "We're from different worlds, like parallel lines that shouldn't intersect."

Feeling a bit hurt, Yu Ke'er drank the hot milk on the table. She was single, and so was he. Wasn't it okay to get to know each other? This man's personality was truly unique!

In truth, she admired not only Qin Mo's creative talents.

Qin Mo's aura of having weathered life's storms yet remaining calm and composed captivated her deeply. Plus, Qin Mo was really handsome! It's no exaggeration to say that she fell head over heels for him at first sight in the bar yesterday!

Yu Ke'er got into her car, lost in thought. She couldn't give up so quickly; she had to try again. Maybe he just didn't believe she was serious!

...

The next morning, Qin Mo searched online and found a recording studio. The ones with good facilities required advance booking, and some were booked until next month. So, Qin Mo settled for a standard one. It was located in the suburbs, and the round trip cost over a hundred dollars in cab fare.

Qin Mo recorded four songs in total, each in a single take. He accompanied himself with guitar and piano. Once back at his apartment, he uploaded "Rumor," "Dusk," and "When Love Becomes a Memory" on Conboat. He focused on promoting "Dusk," spending five thousand dollars on Conboat's promotional services. The song quickly went viral on the platform. In just an hour, it garnered over a hundred thousand likes and thousands of comments.

It's no exaggeration to say that this song is a rare gem, almost heavenly! As a young person who has endured the bombardment of superficial pop culture, my soul has finally been cleansed by this original masterpiece! Uncle Qin Mo, I support you!

Qin, if you can maintain this level of quality, you'll definitely be the pinnacle of the Rhelaweth music scene!

I've been waiting since yesterday, and it's finally out! I absolutely love this song, and I can't believe how quickly it's become a hit! It feels like my little secret has been discovered by everyone...

Ever since the song was released, I've had it on repeat. After just going through a breakup, I find myself sitting on the bus, watching the scenery fly by. As we pass the seaside, the salty sea breeze brings tears to my eyes. I don't know why, but it feels like the whole city is weeping. Love has vanished into thin air!

The raspy voice has such a nostalgic vibe, and I can't get enough of it!
