Inside the audition room, the director of the movie and Lin Mochen were sitting next to each other with a few investors present around them. Everybody was waiting for Li Xiaolu to arrive so that they can begin the audition process. Now everybody was impressed with Li Xiaolu"s acting in her first movie "Shades of Love" so they agreed with her being the female lead of this movie. This audition was really necessary but because of Lin Mochen, they had to conduct this audition.
For every movie that Lin Mochen worked in, he had a condition that before the female lead would be finalized he would have an audition with them to see if he could work with them. That"s why this audition was kept so that Lin Mochen could give his approval to Li Xiaolu.
"What"s the name of the actress?" Lin Mochen asked looking at the director.
The director frowned, "You don"t remember? I told you her name."
"I forgot."
"She is very beautiful and very talented. You will definitely love working with her. Even though this is her first movie as the main female lead, she is quite a gem. Also she - " The director praised.
"Okay fine. I"ll see how talented she is when she arrives." Lin Mochen interrupted. Looking at his a.s.sistant Lin Mochen quickly told him to bring him a gla.s.s of orange juice and a bag of chips.
The director gave him a look.
"What?" Lin Mochen asked, "You know I get hungry every time."
The director shook his head without saying anything. He knew how much this guy loved eating food. A few minutes later, the door opened and Lin Mochen quickly looked up. The moment he saw Li Xiaolu walking in, his eyes widened in surprise. He didn"t know that his female lead would be her.
Li Xiaolu calmly and gracefully walked toward the center of the room under everybody"s gaze. Greeting everybody she looked at the director and asked, "Should I start?"
Before the director could even say anything Lin Mochen said, "She is selected. There is no need for this audition."
Li Xiaolu: "..." No Audition?
Director: "....." Just like that?
Everybody else was also shocked by Lin Mochen"s sudden decision. The director was puzzled. He glanced back and forth between Li Xiaolu and Lin Mochen. He was happy that Lin Mochen agreed with Li Xiaolu without the requirement for the stupid audition but then again he was very surprised by this very sudden decision.
As he glanced at the both of them, he suddenly remembered something. Currently, there was a rumor going around Li Xiaolu and her beautiful smile that she did on that fas.h.i.+on show. People were speculating about who that smile was for. Many believed that it was for Hu Yutian but then Hu Yutian came out with his marriage news with Ming Yu.
So after that people started linking her with other guys amongst which one was Lin Mochen. n.o.body had enough proof regarding Li Xiaolu"s link-up rumors with other guys so n.o.body was sure of anything. Now as the director looked at both of them, he smiled as if he discovered a big secret.
"Mochen you did the right choice. She is a wonderful girl for you." The director praised Lin Mochen for being in a relations.h.i.+p with Li Xiaolu. Lin Mochen thought that the director was praising him for agreeing with the decision of taking Li Xiaolu as the main lead for the movie so he nodded.
"She is perfect." Lin Mochen agreed.
The director chuckled, "Don"t worry. I understand everything and I will definitely keep this secret for you."
Lin Mochen arched his eyebrow, puzzled by the director"s word. "Which secret?" he asked.
The director smiled mischievously, "You cheeky boy. I can see everything. Don"t worry, I am not going to tell anybody. But you did a good choice. She is talented and you both look good together."
Lin Mochen: "..." How come I don"t understand what the director is speaking?

"Come let"s go and meet her." The director said as he and Lin Mochen walked towards Li Xiaolu. The director was quite happy as he thought about how good it would be to shoot with Li Xiaolu and Lin Mochen in one frame as they were already in a relations.h.i.+p so they would have quite good chemistry onscreen.
Meanwhile, Lin Mochen was just looking at Li Xiaolu. For some reason, there was this weird feeling in his heart when he looked at her. He couldn"t explain this feeling but it was like he was drawn towards her but not in a romantic way. This feeling was different. It was something he couldn"t understand. It was the same feeling he felt on that day when he saw her walking on the fas.h.i.+on show.
"Miss Li Xiaolu it would be a pleasure working with you." Lin Mochen said as he shook his hands with her.
"Likewise..." Li Xiaolu smiled.
"Have we met before?" Lin Mochen asked. This feeling was overwhelming that he couldn"t help but ask her.
"No. We haven"t..." Li Xiaolu said.
Lin Mochen frowned. "That"s weird. You know I get this feeling of.... how do I explain it to you? It"s like..."
"Being familiar with me. Like we know each other." Li Xiaolu completed.
"Yeah..." Lin Mochen nodded and then he suddenly looked at her in shock, "You get that feeling too?"
Li Xiaolu laughed, "Hmm... For some reason, I don"t know why but I feel like I know you. It"s weird."
Li Xiaolu and Lin Mochen talked to each other for a very long time. Then Li Xiaolu spoke a little with the director and then after signing the contract, she left. Looking at her leaving, Lin Mochen frowned. He didn"t want her to leave. He wanted to spend more time with her.
"Mochen, she"s gone..." Lin Mochen"s manager informed.
"I know." Lin Mochen sighed.
"You know what do you look like right now?" His managed asked.
"What?"
"A puppy whose owner has abandoned him." The managed laughed. The manager was shocked by how close Lin Mochen and Li Xiaolu were during the whole time. They didn"t look like they were meeting for the first time. Thinking about the current rumors that were surrounding Li Xiaolu, the manager narrowed his eyes at Lin Mochen. He asked, "Mochen is there something you are hiding from me?"
