Chapter 61: I Can Add Another One

Director Wang secretly glanced at Chu Jinchen and continued to announce in fear, "Chu Jinchen and Shi Ran earned a total of 10,100 yuan."

"How is that possible?" Shi Wenfei accidentally exclaimed.

The others were incredulous, too.

Although their part-time jobs were not in the cafe in the afternoon, Shi Wenfei had already told the others what had happened when she returned.

The fan recognized Shi Ran after Shi Ran had played the piano for less than ten minutes.

Chu Jinchen didn't do anything. He just chatted happily with the manager in the cafe.

'So where did the ten grand come from?'

"Director Wang, did you count wrongly? I saw that the manager gave Shi Ran 100 yuan," Zhou Yufan asked curiously.

Director Wang shook his head. "That's right."

Zhou Yufan frowned, but when he saw Chu Jinchen, his brows relaxed. "I understand. Director Wang was right."

Although he was smiling, everyone could see the indignation in it.

The expressions of the others were more or less subtle.

[Seriously???? Don't tell me someone used their main investor's rights?]

[My sugar daddy is really invincible. Then what's the point of competing? Just announce the champion.]

[It was the same at the amusement park in the afternoon. Didn't someone also use his private rights to make the beauty smile?]

[You have to be careful what you say on the bullet screen too. Be careful or Daddy will give you a new account.]

[Although Shi Ran was indeed wronged in the afternoon, she still has to follow the rules, right?]

[I'm speechless... Money is everything.]

[The comments are buzzing here. If you were Shi Ran, you would probably be so happy that you would lose your mind.]

Director Wang could already guess what Zhou Yufan was thinking.

He hurriedly said, "The production team didn't count wrongly. The 10,000 yuan was earned by Chu... Chu Jinchen. We've also confirmed with the manager. There's also a video here."

As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, the big screen flashed, and the scene of the cafe appeared.

At that time, everyone's attention was on Shi Ran.

No one paid attention to Chu Jinchen, who was chatting with the manager.

"You mean there's a way to take my coffee shop to the next level?" the manager asked, obviously not recognizing the man across from him.

The conversation that followed was encrypted. All anyone could hear was a series of beeps.

However, one could clearly see that the manager's performance gradually froze. He went from being skeptical to exclaiming in surprise.

"Who... who are you? Are you CEO Zhou?" The manager asked in surprise.

He did not watch today's live broadcast, so he naturally treated Chu Jinchen as Zhou Yufan.

This was because in the past, Zhou Yufan was the only CEO among the male guests.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. What do you think, Manager?" Chu Jinchen smiled, his dark eyes deep.

The manager instantly understood. "Your suggestion is very useful to us. For this mission, I'll give you an additional twenty thousand yuan to thank you for the consultation fee."

The video stopped abruptly, and the extra 10,000 yuan was starting to make sense.

"Isn't it 20,000? Why is there only 10,000 left?" Zuo Yifei asked curiously.

Everyone looked at Chu Jinchen.

"I booked the arcade with that," he said calmly.

When they noticed the two dolls in his arms, everyone instantly understood.

Shi Wenfei stood her ground, her face pale.

She couldn't take it in at all.

She originally thought that Shi Ran would definitely be in last place and that Third Young Master would definitely vent his anger on her.

She did not expect Shi Ran to get first place!

Bitch!! If not for Third Young Master, she would be nothing!

Zhou Yufan pursed his lips and said nothing.

He had not thought that he could still make money this way.

When he saw it, he was already very surprised. When he found out that the manager had mistaken Chu Jinchen for him, he felt even more ashamed.

[Are the people on the bullet screen slapping their faces? Saying that they have money to do whatever they want???]

[Third Young Master is awesome! Smart people can really earn money wherever they go. They are too proud to use their privileges.]

[So the money spent on the arcade was hard earned money. Those who scolded them, aren't ypu going to apologize?]

[Those who cursed Shi Ran are all Shi Wenfei's fans, right??]

[He's tall, handsome, and so gentlemanly. I really love him!!]

[Shi Wenfei looks terrible. Did she realize that she had failed to frame Shi Ran?]

[Third Young Master's strength is obvious. Can just anyone be the president of the KT Group?]

[Any decision made by our Third Young Master is worth hundreds of millions. The manager only used 20,000. He made a good deal.]

After the first place, Director Wang announced the second to fourth places in order.

"Fourth place, Zhou Yufan and Shi Wenfei, 550 yuan."

Shi Wenfei stepped back uncontrollably.

She originally thought that as long as Shi Ran could get the last place and get out of "Love Warning", it didn't matter if her reputation turned bad a little.

However, who would have thought that not only did Shi Ran get first place, but she herself came last.

She had suffered a double loss.

That night, except for Shi Ran and Shi Wenfei, the other groups exchanged their points for ingredients to cook.

The reason Shi Ran's team didn't exchange for ingredients was because they had eaten their fill outside.

Meanwhile, Shi Wenfei and Zhou Yufan had too few points.

Shi Wenfei returned to the room and used the shower to avoid the camera. She took her phone into the bathroom.

She had just turned it on when her agent called.

"Wenfei, your incident in the coffee shop this afternoon has already become a trending topic. There's a lot of criticism now. The brand which was going to sign you as ambassador has also gone back on their word." Sister Chen sounded tired.

Shi Wenfei hurriedly opened the trending topic. As expected, the top trending topic clearly said: #Shi Wenfei Green Tea.

The video playing was from the afternoon broadcast. It had been edited to make her look even more repulsive on the basis of stating facts.

The comments had already reached 100,000+, and the hot comments were all scolding her.

[Shi Wenfei's fans are still washing her? Such an obvious setup. Do they think the audience is blind?]

[I've long felt that Shi Wenfei's tea is filled with the smell of white lotus. Only her fans are dumb.]

[If I were Shi Ran, I would have avenged myself directly. I would repay dirty means with dirty means.]

[Is Zhou Yufan blind? He helps Shi Wenfei almost every time. Who's his fiancée?]

[These two must be having an affair.]

After this trending topic exploded, another trending topic was pushed to the top.

## Shi Wenfei Zhou Yufan

Someone made a cut of how they acted with each other. For example, Shi Wenfei secretly used her fingers to scratch Zhou Yufan's palm, and Zhou Yufan smiled dotingly at Shi Wenfei...

Details like this were infinitely magnified by the netizens. Previously, everyone had only said that they had an affair based on gut feeling.

Now that so many actions were in displayed in front of them, the netizens became unified in their decision. Shi Wenfei was directly given the title of a mistress.

Shi Wenfei sat on the ground as if the sky had collapsed. Her voice trembled as she shouted, "Sister Chen, remove it! Remove all the trending topics!"

"I've contacted CEO Zhou. It can't be removed. There's only one person who can do this..."

'Third Young Master!'

Shi Wenfei's eyes suddenly widened as she thought of Chu Jinchen and the power behind him.

Fear filled her heart.

It was all Shi Ran's fault!

If not for Shi Ran, how would she have offended Third Young Master!

Her face was ferocious as she gritted her teeth.

Shi! Ran!

On Chu Jinchen's side

The camera in his room had been turned off.

The special assistant stepped forward. "Third Young Master, someone topped the trending searches before us. The first three trending topics revolve around Shi Wenfei and Zhou Yufan."

"Huh?" Chu Jinchen raised his eyebrows and said lazily.

"It should be done by the hacker on Miss Shi's side. Now that the trending topic has gone up, should we leave it alone?"

Chu Jinchen narrowed his eyes.

'Shi Ran's hacker?'

He sneered in his heart. "Buy all the trending searches."

The special assistant was stunned. "Third Young Master, do you mean that the entire trending list will be filled with scandals about Shi Wenfei and Zhou Yufan?"

"You can add another one." Chu Jinchen smiled.

"Add... what?"

The Special Assistant was cautious. He had a bad feeling.

Chapter 62: Promoting Her Own CP?

Tonight was a strange night for the netizens.

Usually, their favorite thing to do was to look for gossip on the trending searches. But tonight, when they opened the trending searches again, they realized that there were three entries that almost occupied the top 50 slots of the trending searches.

## Shi Wenfei Zhou Yufan

## Shi Wenfei Green Tea

# Shi Wenfei the Mistress

No matter how the netizens refreshed, these three terms remained unchanged.

[Is there a bug tonight? Am I the only one who is experiencing this?]

[Upstairs, you're not alone. So am I!!!]

[So what the hell is going on??]

[If it's not a bug, then someone did it on purpose. Who else?]

[Who remembers that in the afternoon's live broadcast, Third Young Master had asked Shi Ran if she wanted to take revenge?]

[Could it be Chu Jinchen???]

[Third Young Master is angry for the beauty!!]

[Could it be that you only saw these three entries? Didn't you notice there was another entry?]

While the netizens were discussing, they realized that another entry had firmly occupied the top spot on the trending searches.

# Shi Ran Chu Jinchen

Someone had edited their interaction for the entire day. Coupled with the sweet and pleasant BGM, it looked like they were in the honeymoon period.

[So sweet, so sweet!!!]

[These two are really god-faced CPs. What did they do to look this fine?]

[So how did this entry surpass the rest and occupy the top slot of the trending search?]

[Don't tell me someone's pulling the strings??? They're promoting their own CP?]

[Would someone so busy be so bored??]

[No matter what, I really like the two of them. Get together!!]

[Come on, wake up. This couple isn't something we can put together. They're not even on the same level.]

The netizens were chatting enthusiastically, but in less than ten minutes, this trending topic strangely disappeared.

[It's gone???]

[See! I told you Chu Jinchen didn't do it!]

[Chu Jinchen must have asked someone to take it down.]

[Luckily I saved the video.]

When Shi Wenfei had learned all of this from her agent at the time, she collapsed on the floor.

Zhou Yufan called only to hear her crying pitifully.

In the end, it was only when Zhou Yufan promised to settle this matter that Shi Wenfei's emotions eased a little.

She stared at the bathroom wall.

Shi Ran lived next door.

She clenched her fists, her eyes bulging with hatred.

At the same time, Wen Yufei also saw the news on the trending searches.

"Sister Yufei, don't listen to those people's nonsense. It might not be Third Young Master who did it. Shi Ran must have a sugar daddy behind her."

Seeing Wen Yufei in a daze, Xiao Qi continued, "Shi Ran's reputation was really bad in the past, but ever since she appeared in 'Love Warning', she seems to have changed into a different person."

"Now, she can even act in the same drama as you. Her resources have suddenly become better so she must have been relying on sugar daddies!"

Xiao Qi tried her best to ease Wen Yufei's emotions, but she wasn't in the mood to listen to anything.

She only scrolled through the trending searches in a daze and looked at the netizens' guesses.

After a long time, she smiled bitterly. "Xiao Qi, it's him. There are very few people who can do this. It's him."

"Sister Yufei..." Xiao Qi couldn't bear it. At this moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Qi, do you think he likes Shi Ran?" Wen Yufei asked uncertainly.

Until now she had been confident.

Although she knew that Jinchen did not like her, there was no woman in this world who was more worthy of Jinchen than her.

But now, Shi Ran has appeared...

"Sister Yufei, that won't happen!" Xiao Qi said firmly, "Shi Ran can't compare to you at all. Besides, even if Third Young Master really likes Shi Ran, so what?"

"With Shi Ran's status, how can she enter the Chu family? In the end, only you can marry Third Young Master. At that time, with your charm, won't Third Young Master fall in love with you sooner or later?"

Wen Yufei looked at the video clip of Chu Jinchen and Shi Ran again.

The smile on Chu Jinchen's face was something she had never seen before.

She gripped the phone and started deleting the video.

The sad expression had completely disappeared.

'That's right. How can Shi Ran compete with me?'

Her family background was not as good as hers, and her status in the entertainment industry was far inferior to hers. It would be easy for her to destroy Shi Ran.

With that in mind, she opened her address book, found the string of numbers and dialed.

Soon the call went through. She called out affectionately, "Grandpa Chu."

... .

The House by the Sea

"Third Young Master, the trending topic has been removed." The special assistant looked at Chu Jinchen and hesitated.

"Ask whatever you want." Chu Jinchen closed his eyes and enjoyed the sea breeze at night.

"Why did you remove the hot search again?" The Special Assistant was puzzled.

Chu Jinchen smiled. "You'll expose yourself if you leave it there for too long."

Exposed?

The Special Assistant looked confused.

Was he afraid that Miss Shi would find out that Third Young Master had created the CP himself, or was he afraid that Old Master would find out?

Still puzzled, the phone buzzed in his hand.

He picked it up, his face grim.

"Third Young Master, Old Master is calling."

Since Old Master Chu called at this time, he must have already heard that Third Young Master was on the show.

Chu Jinchen leaned back lazily and put the phone to his ear. "Grandpa."

"You still have the cheek to call me Grandpa!" Chu Qiteng roared angrily beside his ear. "If it weren't for the fact that today's matter was trending, would you not have told me about your love life?"

He squinted against the sea breeze. "I'm not hiding anything from you, Grandpa."

"You didn't hide it from me, but you didn't tell me about it either! You went to participate in the romance program. How do you think Yufei feels?! Do you still take her as your fiancée?"

"I've already said that whoever decided on the engagement shall marry her," Chu Jinchen said casually.

"Bastard!" Chu Qiteng was furious. "Who do you think I'm doing this for?! Have you forgotten what the fortune-teller said? If you don't marry Yufei, sooner or later, you'll die an unnatural death!"

Chu Jinchen played with the lighter in his hand. "Grandpa, feudal superstition is a crime."

"What?! Do you still want to capture me? What's wrong with Yufei? Or are you bewitched by that female celebrity?!"

Hearing Chu Qiteng mention Shi Ran, Chu Jinchen paused.

He looked at the rolling waves not far away, his eyes deep. "I won't marry Yufei. If Grandpa thinks that she's really that important, you can let my cousins marry her. It can be considered as her entering the Chu family."

"What are you talking about!" Chu Qiteng was so angry that he couldn't stop panting. "You'll only be satisfied if you anger me to death, right?"

"I think Grandpa has a lot of energy." His smile was playful.

"You're not backing out, are you? Sure! Looks like I'm going to have a chat with that starlet. I'd like to see what it is about her that attracts you."

Chu Jinchen's eyes darkened, and his voice was dangerously low and hoarse. "Grandpa, if you want the Chu family to lose an heir, you can try."

"Are you threatening me?" Chu Qiteng was in disbelief.

"It's getting late. Grandpa should rest early." Chu Jinchen hung up first.

The night sea breeze raged, ruffling his hair.

He raised his hand.

The Special Assistant took the hint and put a cigarette in his hand.

Chu Jinchen held the cigarette in his mouth and asked slowly, "Do you also think that the fortune-teller's words are trustworthy?"

The lighter in his hand flipped and lit the cigarette beside his mouth.

"Old Master has always been superstitious. It's mainly because he's worried about Third Young Master," the special assistant replied calmly.

"Bullshit," Chu Jinchen sneered.

Chapter 63: I'm About To Take A Walk. Let's Go Together

The Special Assistant blinked in surprise.

This was the first time he had heard Third Young Master swear.

Chu Jinchen blew out a smoke ring, confusing his vision.

After a long time, the special assistant heard him instruct in a deep voice, "Send someone to monitor the Chu family's movements."

"Yes."

As soon as the Special Assistant finished speaking, the phone in his hand buzzed again.

He glanced at Chu Jinchen.

Seeing that the other party had no reaction, he took the initiative to answer the call.

After hearing that, he looked troubled. "Third Young Master, the old residence called. They said that Old Master had fainted from the shock and asked you to go back."

Chu Jinchen crushed his cigarette in the ashtray and got up to walk out. "Prepare the car."

The Chu family's old residence was located in the most luxurious area in the entire capital.

The combination of the East and West decor made the entire villa exude a romantic aura.

The black Maybach stopped steadily in front of the Chu residence.

Chu Jinchen quickly walked towards the Old Master's room on the second floor.

Before he could enter, he heard the woman's soft voice say, "Grandpa, the doctor instructed you to calm down and not get angry. We must listen to the doctor."

"It's all because of that brat, Jinchen!" Chu Qiteng shouted angrily. "He actually has the time to participate in a variety show while managing a huge corporation like KT!"

After scolding Chu Jinchen for a while, his emotions finally calmed down. "Yufei, don't worry. Grandpa promises you that the future Young Madam of the Chu family will only be you! As for that female celebrity, she can stop thinking about entering my Chu family!"

"Grandpa..." Wen Yufei's voice was moved.

"I heard Grandpa fainted?" The teasing voice broke the heartwarming scene.

Chu Jinchen leaned against the door frame and looked at Chu Qiteng with a faint smile.

"Jinchen." Wen Yufei's eyes lit up, and there was a loving smile on her lips.

When Chu Qiteng saw Chu Jinchen, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he quickly put on a straight face. "You still have the cheek to come back!"

"Looks like I'm not popular here. I can only go back first." Chu Jinchen sighed helplessly and prepared to leave.

"Chu Jinchen!" Chu Qiteng was so angry that he called Chu Jinchen's full name.

He turned, his eyes smiling. "Grandpa looks very strong to me. You don't look like you just fainted."

"It's all your fault. Look at Yufei. When she found out I fainted, she immediately dropped her work to visit me. What about you? Taking your own sweet time."

Wen Yufei smiled. "Grandpa, Jinchen is quite far from the old residence. He must have rushed back immediately."

"You're still speaking up for this brat." Chu Qiteng seemed to blame her, but he was also very satisfied with Wen Yufei's actions.

He looked at Chu Jinchen, who was outside the door frame. "Yufei is so considerate. You brat, don't be ungrateful!"

Wen Yufei lowered her head and smiled shyly.

Chu Jinchen held a very faint smile and remained silent.

Wen Yufei chatted with Chu Qiteng for a while more. Soon, it was time for Chu Qiteng to rest.

"Send Yufei home safely, understand?" Chu Qiteng looked at Chu Jinchen and ordered.

"Yeah," he said.

Wen Yufei walked up to him and smiled gently. "Will it be too much trouble for you?"

"It's on the way. Let's go."

Chu Jinchen walked in front while Wen Yufei quickly followed beside him.

She looked up and focused on Chu Jinchen's side profile.

In the moonlight, the face she had admired for sixteen years was even more moving.

"Jinchen," she called softly.

"Huh?" Chu Jinchen lowered his eyes and smiled. "What's wrong?"

"I want to take a walk. Can you accompany me?" Wen Yufei asked generously.

Chu Jinchen stopped.

Wen Yufei paused. She was nervous, but she still smiled and explained, "I heard that there's a park and a lake ahead. The night view is especially beautiful."

"You want to see it?" he whispered.

"Yes." Wen Yufei nodded and asked carefully, "Can I?"

"Sure."

Wen Yufei looked up in surprise.

Had Jinchen just agreed?

However, in the next second, Chu Jinchen's slightly cold voice sounded above her head, "I'll get San Yu to accompany you."

San Yu was Chu Jinchen's special assistant.

Now that he was suddenly called out, he could not react in time.

Even he could not bear to see Wen Yufei's expression darken.

But soon, Wen Yufei smiled sweetly again. "If you're busy, it's fine. You'll always have time next time."

"I'll send you back." Chu Jinchen continued walking.

There was still a faint smile on his lips, but Wen Yufei felt that there was a galaxy between them.

She recalled the contents of that video.

The Jinchen in front of Shi Ran was clearly not like this.

What was so good about her?!

She was puzzled.

San Yu opened the backseat door. Wen Yufei got into the car and silently moved to the seat beside her.

She wanted to be closer to Jinchen.

"Bam—"

The car door suddenly closed.

Wen Yufei looked up abruptly.

A second later, the passenger door opened.

Chu Jinchen sat in the passenger seat!

She bit her lower lip and forced a smile. "Jinchen, why are you suddenly sitting in the front passenger seat?"

Chu Jinchen closed his eyes to rest and did not answer.

Wen Yufei's hands slowly clenched into fists.

After a long while, she smiled. "I saw the trending searches. It's very like you. Shi Ran is your teammate. No wonder you're so protective."

Hearing this, San Yu, who was driving, glanced at Chu Jinchen beside him.

Miss Wen was testing the relationship between Third Young Master and Miss Shi.

Wen Yufei waited for a while, thinking that Chu Jinchen would not answer her.

Soon, Chu Jinchen's deep voice sounded in the car.

"Not just teammates."

It was still her favorite voice from her youth, but the words that came out of his mouth now were like a sharp blade stabbing at her heart.

Wen Yufei's body trembled, and her eyes unknowingly turned red. She suppressed her sobs and said, "If she's not just a teammate... then what is she to you?"

Chu Jinchen did not answer.

However, San Yu clearly saw a faint smile on Chu Jinchen's lips.

He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Wen Yufei on the verge of breaking down.

He sighed silently.

Over the years, they had all seen how much Miss Wen liked Third Young Master.

But his feelings never came through.

However, he did not expect Third Young Master to really like Miss Shi.

The car drove Wen Yufei to the hotel arranged by the production team. When the car drove away from the hotel entrance, Wen Yufei made a call.

She lowered her head and spoke faintly.

"Dad, Jinchen seems to have fallen for that female celebrity."

"Yes, her name is Shi Ran."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

After hanging up, Wen Yufei gripped her phone tightly, her eyes filled with ruthlessness.

She had loved Jinchen for sixteen years. No one could snatch Jinchen away from her!

... .

The House by the Sea

Shi Ran closed the computer and stretched.

Picking up her phone, the corners of her mouth twitched when she saw the top fifty trending topics.

The videos and trending searches were indeed her doing.

She had to take revenge herself.

However, she did not expect Chu Jinchen to interfere and occupy the entire trending list.

Although he was helping her, she had to admit that his behavior was a little childish.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

There was a knock on the door and she got up to open it.

She was surprised to see who it was.

"Jing Tian?"

Dressed in a clean casual outfit, Bai Jingtian smiled warmly. "Do you want to take a walk and talk about the script?"

Bai Jingtian was the male lead of "Return with the King" and it was all thanks to him that she could play the role of Bai Lan

Therefore, Shi Ran did not refuse and readily agreed.

She had just closed the door and was about to set off with Bai Jingtian.

Just as she turned around, she saw Chu Jinchen standing not far away.

"What a coincidence. Did you just come back?" Bai Jingtian greeted first.

Chu Jinchen's dark eyes were deep and his lips curled up slightly, forming a beautiful arc. "Unfortunately, I was about to go for a walk. Let's go together."

Chapter 64: Variety Shuraba

Bai Jingtian smiled gently and asked Shi Ran, "Is that ok?"

"Let's go together." Shi Ran glanced at Chu Jinchen and did not refuse.

Anyway, it was just a walk. The number of people did not matter.

The three of them went downstairs together. When they reached the door, they bumped into Zuo Yifei, who was running back at night.

He still had a white towel around his neck and a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

When he heard that they were going for a walk, he glanced warily at Bai Jingtian and Chu Jinchen on both sides.

Then, he smiled dazzlingly at Shi Ran. "Coincidentally, I also want to shop around here. Can we go together? Ran Ran."

'Ran-ran?'

Bai Jingtian and Chu Jinchen looked at him at the same time.

[Omo! Omo! What kind of hellish scene is this?]

[I would like to call this the scene of the year.]

[Two people became three people. Now, it's four people.]

[Ranran? You're a little wild, kid.]

[I don't get what's so charming of Shi Ran.]

[Even the tall, rich, and handsome guys find her charming. Only some poor people are pretending to be blind.]

[Master Ran is the Greatest Of All Time!!!]

[Support my baby Yifei!!! Charge!!]

Shi Ran walked in front. Behind her, Chu Jinchen, Bai Jingtian, and Zuo Yifei stood in a row. They were smiling, but sparks were flying.

The beach was exceptionally quiet at night and the waves rolled while the sea sparkled.

The four of them stepped out onto the soft sand in their slippers. Three drones circled around them. Next to them in the trees were the cameras the program team had prepared.

When Director Wang saw this scene, he could not help but smile. "They are all tall, rich, and handsome. One's a CEO, one's a Best Actor, one's a top idol, and there's also Shi Ran who has become very popular recently..."

The more he mumbled to himself, the more excited Director Wang became. He looked at the assistant director beside him. "Are you ready for the trending searches?"

"Ready, but..." The assistant director looked troubled.

'But what?'

"The higher-ups have informed us that any reports related to Chu Jinchen and Shi Ran must not be posted online. It's said that it was Mr. Chu's idea."

Director Wang frowned and looked regretful.

It was an unfortunate situation. With their current popularity, Chu Jinchen and Shi Ran were simply traffic bombs.

Cinderella and the Prince together, who wouldn't like it.

However, nobody expected Old Master Chu to know about it and even threw threats around.

Sighing helplessly, Director Wang waved his hand and said, "Then we shall not include Third Young Master. Release the video of Bai Jingtian and Zuo Yifei with Shi Ran."

"Okay!" the assistant director agreed immediately.

Director Wang looked back at the monitor. On the screen, Chu Jinchen's gaze was gentle and focused.

He shook his head ruefully.

A poor girl marrying into a rich family only existed in fairy tales after all.

... .

Seaside

Bai Jingtian walked to Shi Ran's side first and smiled warmly. "I saw the stills of your 'Return with the King'. I didn't choose the wrong person."

Shi Ran looked at Bai Jingtian and smiled. "I haven't had the chance to thank you."

"I just think this role will suit you very well." Bai Jingtian smiled.

"I think so too!" Zuo Yifei stood on the other side of Shi Ran. "I was stunned when I saw the stills. They were really beautiful!"

Zuo Yifei's eyes sparkled as he kept talking about how he felt when he saw the stills. The look of admiration on his face made the fans jealous.

Bai Jingtian stood on the other side with a smile on his lips. He listened to Zuo Yifei seriously and expressed his opinion from time to time.

The three of them seemed to be enjoying themselves.

On the other hand, Chu Jinchen, who was behind them, was alone. He walked alone by the sea, and the lights elongated his shadow. This scene looked extremely lonely.

[My heart aches for Third Young Master.]

[Handsome guy is forgotten just like that???]

[However, why do I feel that Third Young Master is holding back?]

[Third Young Master is high-spirited during the day and pitiful at night.]

After a few minutes, the three of them chatted even more happily.

At this moment, Bai Jingtian's manager appeared not far away and gestured to him.

Bai Jingtian glanced at it and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, my manager is looking for me. I have to leave first."

"It's okay, Brother Tian. Go ahead." Zuo grinned, revealing eight white teeth.

He looked so happy that he almost personally sent Bai Jingtian off.

After Bai Jingtian left, Zuo Yifei's tone became even more light.

However, at this moment, his agent appeared not far away.

With just a glance, Zuo Yifei's expression drooped.

He hung his head like an abandoned puppy and looked pitifully at Shi Ran. "Ran Ran, my manager called me too. I have to go too."

"Okay." Shi Ran laughed.

"Shall we take a walk together next time?" Zuo Yifei looked at her expectantly.

"Okay," Shi Ran agreed without hesitation.

At this moment, Chu Jinchen slowly walked to Shi Ran's side.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them became two again.

[Something doesn't feel right.]

[Something's wrong +1]

[+2]

[What a coincidence. Everyone's agent decided to show up suddenly??]

[I told you Third Young Master was holding back!]

[This operation... The power of capital is coquettish.]

[Third Young Master: How can I stick to my wife if I don't send these two third wheels away?]

[For this wave, I stand with the Godly Face CP]

Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen walked side by side. Under the warm light, their shadows overlapped.

The sea breeze blew away her seaweed-like long hair from her face.

Chu Jinchen glanced sideways and stared at Shi Ran's side profile. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

Neither of them spoke as they walked quietly along the beach.

For that scene, silence was more suitable than noise.

It was extremely heartwarming.

[I can't believe I just spent half an hour watching someone walk on a variety show.]

[+1. I don't even want to cut to the images of the other guests.]

[This scene is so beautiful.]

... .

The next morning.

Four girls appeared in the living room.

"Eh? What's this?" Yu Ziqian was puzzled.

He saw that a blackboard had appeared in the living room. On it were four drawings of various landscapes.

Director Wang announced the rules at this moment. "Everyone has also noticed the additional blackboard. Every painting on it was drawn by the male guest in advance."

"The four female guests can discuss selecting one of your favorite paintings. After that, you will team up with the male guest of this painting."

'Now to the selection round.'

They looked at each other, then stepped forward to examine the drawing on the blackboard.

"This is so cute!" Yu Ziqian said sweetly.

Then she picked up the words with the bear drawn on the blackboard, and her eyes flashed.

She remembered that when Third Young Master came back last night, he was carrying two bears in his arms. So it should be Third Young Master who drew the bears, right?

But why the bear drawing? Because of Shi Ran?

Yu Ziqian secretly glanced at Shi Ran, feeling indignant.

But soon she smiled again, determined to win.

So what if Third Young Master wanted to choose Shi Ran at first? He would still have to team up with her this time.

As long as she successfully teamed up with Third Young Master, she would definitely have a way to make him fall in love with her!

"I'll take this one, then," Gujia said, quickly choosing.

She chose the one with the sea.

"This heart is so cute." Shi Wenfei's tone was soft as she chose the heart painting.

In the end, there was only one painting left.

When Shi Ran looked over and saw the contents of the painting, she felt her vision darken.

On the white paper, the black charcoal pencil outlined beautiful and smooth lines.

But the content of the painting was...

A bathtub!

Chapter 65: This Is The Place We First Met

[Bathtub?!!!!]

[Who the hell is so talented at drawing a bathtub?]

[Does the bathtub mean anything?]

[Such a cheeky act. Why do I feel like it's drawn by our baby?]

The comments were abuzz. The other three female guests were also wondering who had drawn the bathtub.

"Since everyone has chosen, let's invite our male guests for the day one by one. The first is the Little Bear painting that Yu Ziqian chose."

Following Director Wang's voice, the door was opened from both sides and a figure slowly appeared.

[Little Bear, it must be Chu Jinchen.]

[Third Young Master was holding two little bears yesterday. It must be him.]

[Obviously, this bear was drawn for Master Ran. Unfortunately, Master Ran was the last to choose her drawing.]

[Did Yu Ziqian guess that Little Bear was chosen by Third Young Master?]

[Who doesn't like tall, rich, and handsome men? Only your Shi Ran can choose?]

[Can the couple's fans be calm?]

Yu Ziqian clenched the painting in her hand nervously, her gaze locked on the man behind the door.

However, when the door opened completely and the figure appeared in front of everyone, Yu Ziqian looked incredulous.

How could it be him?

The owner of the bear portrait was slender, with silver-gray hair and fair skin. It was Zuo Yifei.

Zuo Yi walked in with a smile.

However, when he saw the painting in Yu Ziqian's hand, his smile froze and he subconsciously looked at Shi Ran.

[Pfft hahahaha, I really will laugh]

[Do these two have to make their disappointment so obvious?]

[What's with Yu Ziqian's expression? It's her blessing to be able to choose our baby, okay?]

[An internet celebrity is an internet celebrity. She couldn't even conceal that simple expression.]

[Our baby only has Master Ran in his heart, but Yu Ziqian chose him instead.]

[I don't even understand why the show needs an internet celebrity.]

Shi Wenfei was next. The one in her hand was a heart painting.

And the owner of the love painting...

When everyone saw Zhou Yufan appear in their field of vision, they all sighed.

[These two are really having an affair.]

[I'm curious to see their expressions when they face Third Young Master]

[Damn! Is the scumbag and the bitch teaming up again?]

[These two planned this in advance, right??]

After the two male guests appeared, only Chu Jinchen and Bai Jingtian were left.

One depicted the sea, the other a bathtub.

In any case, it was difficult for everyone to associate the bathtub with these two handsome men, even though the bathtub was indeed very well drawn.

Gu Jia held the painting in her hand with a calm expression.

She turned to Shi Ran. "Do you think mine belongs to Jing Tian or Third Young Master?"

Shi Ran smiled without answering.

Gujia didn't press the point, because she soon had an answer.

—It was Bai Jingtian.

So now there was only one person left. And the owner of the bathtub painting.

Under everyone's gaze, Chu Jinchen entered the venue.

He looked exceptionally youthful today.

The simple white T-shirt and black cargo pants made him look like a college student.

He stood beside Shi Ran, a smile on his lips.

[It was Third Young Master who drew the bathtub. I never expected it.]

[Apart from anything else, Third Young Master's smile doesn't look like a simple smile.]

[The Empress's Smile]

[Does the bathtub mean anything?]

[Does Third Young Master want to tell Master Ran that he's willing to be her fish?]

[Third Young Master wants to be Shi Ran's fish?? What are you thinking!]

[It's very likely that Third Young Master is trying to to express his determination to toy with Master Ran.]

There were all kinds of guesses on the bullet screen.

Director Wang noticed the contents of the bullet screen, so he added a segment at the last minute.

He said loudly, "Now, from left to right, each male guest shall tell us the meaning of his painting."

This segment was a little unexpected.

Zuo Yifei glanced at Shi Ran and said gloomily, "I drew a bear because I thought it was cute."

Bai Jingtian was warm and gentle. "I took a walk on the beach yesterday. The sea was beautiful and I was impressed."

[Why do I get the feeling that these two are implying something??]

[Bai Jingtian and Zuo Yifei must want to team up with Shi Ran!]

[Who would have thought that Third Young Master's bathtub would break through!]

[After the battle at the beach last night, Third Young Master won again today.]

[As expected, it has to be Third Young Master!!]

Zhou Yufan shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know how to draw, so I only drew a heart."

"But it's very cute," Shi Wenfei said playfully, not hiding her intimacy with Zhou Yufan.

Since everyone had guessed what had happened between her and Yu Fan, she could only give up hiding her feelings.

Instead of being secretive and pretentious, it was better to show off openly.

If they performed well, they might be able to gain a large wave of CP fans.

As for the mistress thing...

The netizens did not know the truth. When the time came, they would just accept whatever she wanted to say.

[These two are really not acting anymore.]

[Gross to look at. Skip and skip.]

[Some people only listen to rumors. Feifei isn't that kind of person, okay?]

[Just because Shi Ran is his fiancée, Feifei must be a mistress??]

[Shi Wenfei's fans are amazing.]

[I'm still looking forward to the reason behind this bathtub!]

Chu Jinchen was holding his painting in his hand, and everyone's eyes were on him.

Not to mention the audience, everyone present was also curious about why Chu Jinchen would draw a bathtub.

"Don't tell me Third Young Master painted in the bathtub?" Yu Ziqian tried to lighten the mood.

Chu Jinchen glanced at her.

She gave Chu Jinchen what she thought was her best smile.

However, Chu Jinchen had already retracted his gaze.

Yu Ziqian gritted her teeth and glared at Shi Ran.

At this moment, Shi Ran could not be bothered to pay attention to Yu Ziqian. She narrowed her eyes.

The others didn't know, but she knew better.

Images flashed through her mind the moment she saw the tub.

That coy atmosphere and that hickey...

Chu Jinchen put one hand in his pocket and met Shi Ran's eyes. His smile was playful. "Can you I say it?"

[Can I say it????]

[Does Master Ran have something to do with this too??]

[Something's wrong. Something's very wrong.]

[I have a feeling that Third Young Master is about to give us some breaking news.]

Shi Ran gave a mirthless smile. "What's that got to do with me?"

"Nothing to do with you?" Chu Jinchen carefully pondered these words.

Shi Ran shouted in her heart and stared at Chu Jinchen's pale pink lips.

If Chu Jinchen dared to say anything about that night, she would shut him up!

Chu Jinchen pondered for a moment.

Under everyone's increasingly curious gazes, his thin lips slowly parted. "Because this is where we first met."

Everyone was speechless.

[!!!!!!!!]

[?????!!!!!]

[F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!!!]

[Can this be broadcasted directly??]

[Is this a live broadcast I can watch without paying???]

[Shit! Is that what I think it means? Bathtub Play????]

[There must be an affair. I don't care. There must be something between these two!!]

[My Godly Face CP stands firm!!!]

[What kind of meeting will be in the bathtub??? Shit! Imagination.]

[Please take a look at Master Ran's expression.]

[Master Ran: You can't hide your expression when you want to stab someone.]

Chapter 66: Being Parents For One Day

"The place where the two of you first met? What do you mean, Third Young Master?" Yu Ziqian tried to maintain a smile.

She didn't want to believe the two had anything to do with each other.

It must be Shi Ran who had seduced Third Young Master!

"We met when we went to the mall to buy bathtubs," Shi Ran explained.

Out of the camera's view, she grabbed a flab of Chu Jinchen's lower back and twisted it hard, but her smile was exceptionally beautiful. "Isn't that what you mean, Third Young Master?"

A low laugh escaped from Chu Jinchen's mouth, and the pain in his lower back was ignored.

He looked into her eyes and nodded. "Miss Shi is right about that."

'That sounds even more suggestive.'

Shi Ran tightened her grip.

The next moment, her small palm was covered by a warm palm.

Chu Jinchen rubbed his fingertips against her delicate skin.

In no more than an instant, he released his grip and lowered his hands.

It looked as if he was just stopping Shi Ran from squeezing him.

He knew his limits.

Director Wang saw that the situation was not right and coughed to attract everyone's attention.

"Everyone has made their choice. Now let's invite our special guest for the day."

'A special guest?'

Everyone wondered.

'There were special guests besides them?'

Tiny footsteps approached.

The front door opened and four figures appeared.

To be precise, there were four children about four or five years old, two boys and two girls.

Because they were on the show, every child had dressed up seriously. All of them looked very lively and cute.

They stood in a line, big curious eyes rolling as they took in the unfamiliar surroundings.

"How lovely," Yu Ziqian said in awe.

"They're indeed cute kids." Shi Wenfei looked at Zhou Yufan. "What do you think? Yufan."

Zhou Yufan smiled indulgently. "Yes, very cute."

The others were also attracted by the children and started to get close to them.

Only Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen stood rooted to the ground.

His gaze swept over the children.

It's not that Shi Ran had never interacted with children before.

In her previous life, she had trained those brats to grow up, but when children appeared on her reality show...

Not good.

"Do you like children?" Chu Jinchen suddenly asked.

"I don't," Shi Ran replied crisply.

Children were weak and difficult to train. They also loved to cry.

Unlike adults, who could be beaten up with a grunt.

'Children are delicate and troublesome.'

The production team did not know what Shi Ran was thinking at this moment.

Seeing that everyone was getting along well with the children, Director Wang continued to announce the rules. "Today, everyone's mission is to be parents for a day."

"There are four children here. Today each group of guests will have to play the role of the children's parents and take care of them for the day."

"In the meantime, the child's real parents will observe your every move from the observation room. A rating will be given at the end of the evening, and you will be ranked according to that rating."

Then, the program team began to assign one child to each group.

The others were comfortable with their child.

Only a small boy in overalls was left standing alone in the living room.

The little boy looked like he was carved out of jade. In his suspenders, he looked even cuter.

He was the most exquisite-looking of the four children.

And his parents for the day...

Director Wang looked at Chu Jinchen and Shi Ran.

The two of them were standing a little close to each other, their arms touching from time to time.

"Do you like children?" Shi Ran asked quietly.

"No," Chu Jinchen replied bluntly.

Shi Ran felt even more strange when he heard the children from the other groups calling them 'Daddy and Mommy'.

"Chu Jinchen, if a child calls you daddy..."

"Heh." Chu Jinchen sneered. "Throw it out."

[He's so fierce ]

[I can tell that Third Young Master really doesn't like children.]

"Do you know how to babysit?" Shi Ran asked again.

"Does having a pet count?" Chu Jinchen asked seriously.

"I've had one, but it was a tiger. Is there a big difference?"

"Quite a coincidence. The wolves I raise are relatively difficult creatures. They're probably like children."

"I feed the tiger raw meat. Now and then I have to take him to—"

"So does the wolf. It needs—"

[???????]

[Why did it suddenly become a pet informational show?]

[A tiger and a wolf. Are those pets of normal people? No! Can those even be considered pets???]

[The poor baby would never have guessed that his parents were having an exchange today about raising ferocious beasts.]

[I'm really going to die laughing at this conversation. Hahahaha.]

[You're more like a child, hahahaha]

[The point is that these two look too serious. I suddenly feel sorry for this kid.]

[The parents of the observation room child aren't going to faint, are they??]

Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen had never taken care of children before, so they were in a dilemma.

For a moment neither of them approached the children first.

And the little boy in the living room, Rui Rui, looked left and right, and finally those big grape-like eyes fell on Shi Ran.

He grinned, showing his cute little teeth, and ran towards Shi Ran.

The boy then grabbed Shi Ran's leg.

The soft touch on her leg made Shi Ran freeze on the spot.

Like a robot, she looked down to see Rui Rui opening his arms to her. "Mommy, hug me," he said softly.

'Mom... Mommy?'

Shi Ran stiffened.

Under Rui Rui's expectant gaze, she crouched like a robot, put her hands under his armpits, and lifted him slowly.

She was stiff like a robot the entire time.

Rui Rui leaned into Shi Ran's arms and kicked his legs happily. The dimples in his cheeks were deep and lovely.

Beside her, Chu Jinchen lowered his eyes and looked at Rui Rui, who was in her arms. He narrowed his black eyes.

Immediately he reached out to Rui Rui with a faint smile on his lips. "Rui Rui, let Daddy hug you."

[???????]

["If a Kid Calls You Daddy" and "Throw It Out"]

[The word "Dad" sure came out of his mouth smoothly. Who said he was going to throw it out?]

[Could Third Young Master be angry at Rui Rui for dominating Master Ran's embrace?]

[The CP fans are really crazy. They can even romanticize this???]

[How did Third Young Master manage to be so serious and funny at the same time??]

[Please replay the part where Third Young Master said he would throw it out.]

Hearing Chu Jinchen's words, Shi Ran immediately handed Rui Rui to Chu Jinchen.

'Kids are too fragile.'

When she hugged him, she did not dare to move, afraid that something irrevocable would happen if she used too much strength.

Chu Jinchen had just taken Rui Rui when his body stiffened too.

He and Shi Ran looked at each other and came to the same conclusion at the same time.

This was nothing like the tiger/wolf they raised!

"It seems that everyone is having a good time with today's special guests. Next, the program team will distribute the daily activities of each child to everyone."

"As their one-day parents, please arrange your children's schedule strictly according to the schedule on the activity table. Your family funds today are based on the amount of your earnings from the part-time jobs yesterday."

Then, the program team sent them the child's activity schedule and funds.

The funds were split 50-50 between each group yesterday and then reassembled into the current team funds.

However, because Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen were also a couple yesterday, their funds remained exactly at 10,100 yuan.

"I'm so envious of Sister. You guys have so much money while Yufan and I only have five hundred yuan," Shi Wenfei suddenly said.

Shi Ran smirked. "Only five hundred? Don't you think your man is too incompetent?"

Chapter 67: A Loving Mother Will Only Spoil Her Child

Shi Wenfei's face turned pale and red.

Due to the presence of cameras, she could only swallow her anger.

After receiving the program team's activity schedule, Shi Ran took a look and read out, "Nine to twelve, parent-child exercise time."

'Exercise?'

'That's easy.'

She glanced at Rui Rui in Chu Jinchen's arms and said softly, "Let's go and exercise outside."

Chu Jinchen carried the child and followed behind Shi Ran. At a glance, they really looked like a family of three.

[I have a bad feeling about this.]

[For those in front, Ominous Premonition +1]

[But I think Master Ran seems confident.]

[Maybe parent-child exercises aren't difficult for Master Ran.]

Shi Ran walked outside the cottage and headed towards the beach.

The other three groups of guests thought it would be a good idea to let the children play together.

Seeing that Shi Ran was full of confidence, they brought their children over too.

It was a cloudy day so the sun was not glaring.

When they reached the beach, Chu Jinchen put the child down.

"It's the sea!" Rui Rui said in his baby voice as he pointed out to the sea. He was grinning from ear to ear.

"Could the parent-child exercise have something to do with the sea?" Gu Jia guessed.

Shi Ran looked around and seemed satisfied.

Then she looked down at Rui Rui and smiled gently. "Rui Rui, it's exercise time. Just run three laps along the beach."

Everyone: ????!!!

[I'm sorry, I really can't help it hahahaha]

[I knew something was wrong. It turns out that Master Ran only heard the word "exercise" hahaha.]

[The others thought Master Ran had a good plan.]

[Look at how confident Master Ran is.]

"Sister, Rui Rui is still young, he's only four and a half years old. Isn't it too much to ask him to go back and forth three times? How could he stand it?" Shi Wenfei took the opportunity to speak up.

Since this bitch Shi Ran was courting death, she would not hold back.

"Three laps. Even we adults will take more than an hour to complete three laps. Rui Rui is too young for that. It might be because you've never taken care of a child before," Bai Jingtian said gently.

"Yes. I don't think Sister has ever taken care of a child. Children can easily faint from heat stroke that way," Shi Wenfei said sarcastically.

Shi Ran rebutted teasingly. "I'm nowhere near as experienced as you, of course."

"You!" Shi Wenfei gritted her teeth. From the corner of her eye, she saw Chu Jinchen frowning slightly. He didn't seem to understand what Shi Ran was doing.

She was overjoyed and deliberately said, "Third Young Master should know more than you, right? If you can't listen to me, you should at least listen to Third Young Master."

[There are many children in a big family like the Third Young Master's , right? Even if he doesn't know how to bring them, he's probably seen people taking care of children before.]

[This is too ridiculous, hahaha. Third Young Master definitely won't understand.]

[After all, he's the child of a rich family. He grew up in a greenhouse so he definitely won't be able to understand Shi Ran.]

As the sea breeze blew, Chu Jinchen narrowed his eyes and looked back and forth.

After some thought, he said, "Is three laps too few? For this distance, I had to make at least ten laps when I was young."

[ ... ... ...]

[I was wrong.]

["Growing Up in a Greenhouse"]

[What can I expect from a man who asks if raising wolves is the same as raising children?]

[If these two really get together, it would be painful to be their children.]

[I can already imagine Little Ran running with a straight face.]

"Rui Rui, you're so pitiful." Shi Wenfei and Zhou Yufan's child said.

"Rui Rui, your parents probably don't like you."

The other children were all talking childishly.

Rui Rui's clear eyes instantly filled with tears. He pursed his lips and looked aggrieved. "Mom, do you not like Rui Rui?"

Being stared at by Rui Rui with such an aggrieved expression on his face instantly dummified Shi Ran.

Not knowing what to do, she half-squatted, her hand stiff as she patted Rui Rui's back. "Mom... Mom likes Rui Rui very much."

"Really?" Rui Rui laughed through his tears in a second.

Shi Ran's cold heart softened unconsciously. She smiled and said, "Really."

Delighted, Rui Rui wrapped his meaty arms around her neck and pecked her face, leaving a clear drool mark.

Shi Ran suddenly stiffened as two red spots crept up her fair cheeks.

She blushed.

Chu Jinchen had one hand in his pocket and the smile on his lips deepened. His cold black eyes swept over Rui Rui.

[Damn!! Blushing???]

[Master Ran actually blushed?? Just because she was kissed by a child??]

[She didn't even blush when Third Young Master stood so close to her previously. Now, she's blushing because of a child??]

[Please take a look at Third Young Master the resentful wife, oh no, resentful husband. Look at his expression.]

[I'm afraid Third Young Master is going to stab Rui Rui in the next second.]

[Third Young Master: Even a child is more charming than me, sob sob ]

[Enough of the CP fans on the bullet screen? How can you be so imaginative with just an expression??]

[I'm speechless. Turn off the bullet screen to save your IQ.]

"It's indeed not appropriate to let the child run here. Let's not run," Chu Jinchen said ambiguously.

Rui Rui's eyes gleamed.

[Did you see that, my CP fans? When did Third Young Master get jealous??]

[Don't you feel a slap on your face, CP fans?]

[Imagining too much!]

"Two hours in the horse stance will do," Chu Jinchen said.

Everyone was speechless.

Rui Rui: ?!

Shi Ran: ???

[A slap in the face, keyboard warriors?]

[My heart aches for Rui Rui. It must be his day of suffering.]

[He's probably just saying that for fun. How can he really make Rui Rui do the horse stance?]

The scene changed. In the pavilion in the front yard of the cottage.

Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen were sitting on stone chairs, eating fruits and chatting from time to time.

And in the wide open space outside the pavilion, Rui Rui's little fleshy face was tense, his legs half bent in a serious horse stance.

Sweat was already dripping from his forehead, but Rui Rui still didn't dare to move.

The kids from the other groups were playing happily in the living room, popping out from time to time to check on Rui Rui. They giggled as they said, "Rui Rui is so miserable."

Chu Jinchen peeled a grape and brought it to Shi Ran's mouth.

Shi Ran glanced sideways at him.

He said innocently, "Our role today is that of Rui Rui's parents. Research has shown that children who grow up in loving families are more optimistic and happy than other children."

Shi Ran opened her mouth and bit the grape delivered to her mouth.

Even though she was careful, her lips still touched Chu Jinchen's hand.

Chu Jinchen's black eyes darkened and he laughed contentedly.

[Rui Rui is in a horse stance while these two are showing off their love. What a happy family.]

[Third Young Master is really good at bullsh*tting. The two of them will just be Rui's parents for a day, right?]

[Rui Rui: It only matters if you two are happy. You do not need to bring me along.]

[Rui Rui: In Horse Stance, Do Not Cue ]

[If these two have children, I don't know if their family will be happy. Anyway, there will be a lot of exercise for sure.]

[They're out of line. This is child abuse, right?]

[Rui Rui's parents must be heartbroken to see their precious child being treated like this.]

[The comments are too exaggerated. A child doing the horse stance is good for the body.]

[It's to strengthen the body. People who practice martial arts have been practicing the Horse Stance since they were young.]

[You can't let children exercise easily. Netizens will complain.]

Shi Ran bit the straw as she couldn't bear to see Rui Rui so insistent. "How about half an hour?"

"Your heart is aching?" Chu Jinchen glanced at her.

"Yes." Shi Ran nodded frankly.

Chu Jinchen tapped his index finger on the table, his eyes secretive.

After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "A loving mother will only spoil her child."

Chapter 68: Sleeping With Mom And Dad

Shi Ran glanced at Chu Jinchen and said lightly, "You're getting too into character."

Chu Jinchen smiled but said nothing.

Two hours passed quickly. During that time, with a sudden softening of Shi Ran's heart, Rui Rui got to rest for almost an hour.

At this moment, his cheeks were red as he bit the straw and drank some water.

Chu Jinchen looked at the event schedule. "The next schedule is lunch."

Shi Ran frowned. "I can't cook."

Cooking had always been her weakness.

In her previous life, to reward those brats, she had only personally cooked twice.

One time she almost blew up the house while the other time was only slightly better.

Only the kitchen was burned down.

But since then, the kitchen had become her forbidden place.

She wasn't the only one who didn't want to enter the kitchen. No one else would allow her to take half a step in.

"Let's eat outside," Chu Jinchen said without thinking.

When Director Wang heard this, he said weakly, "Um... a friendly reminder. The child is still in the development stage. Eating outside will easily affect the child's health and points will be deducted."

"Oh?" Chu Jinchen glanced at him.

Director Wang's body trembled.

[I'm dying of laughter at the director's expression, hahahaha]

[Is this the deterrent power of Third Young Master??]

[When has Director Wang, who has dominated the world and tortured countless big-shot guests, ever suffered such grievances?]

[Third Young Master, take a look. Director Wang is trembling.]

[Poor Rui Rui. After doing the horse stance, he doesn't even know if he can have a proper lunch.]

[She's a woman and she can't even cook. How useless.]

[So what if women can't cook?]

[The one who says women can't cook is the real useless one.]

In the end, Chu Jinchen decided to take on the task of cooking.

The three of them then set off for the nearby supermarket.

Chu Jinchen pushed the small cart while Rui Rui sat in it and Shi Ran walked side by side with Chu Jinchen.

At first glance, they really did look like a family of three shopping in a supermarket.

"Mom, I want to eat this." Rui Rui carefully pointed to the chocolate on the shelf.

"Okay," Shi Ran agreed readily, taking down the chocolate and putting it in the cart.

"And this!" Rui Rui pointed to a cheese stick again.

Shi Ran then put the cheese stick in the cart.

"This..."

As long as Rui Rui said what he wanted to eat, Shi Ran would unconditionally satisfy him. Chu Jinchen too, had no objections.

Soon, the cart was filled with snacks, all of which Rui Rui loved.

[For a moment, I can't tell if these two are spoiling or abusing children.]

[A second ago you were in a horse stance for two hours. Now you can take whatever you want to eat.]

[I wonder if Third Young Master still remembers what he said about a loving mother being a failure.]

[Master Ran dotes on Rui Rui so much, but Third Young Master doesn't have any objections this time?]

[Third Young Master is silent. He must be up to no good.]

The three of them turned to the ingredients section and prepared to select the ingredients for lunch.

"I want this," Chu Jinchen said, pointing to the lettuce on the cabinet.

Seeing that he was pushing the cart, Shi Ran took two handfuls of lettuce and placed them in the cart.

"And this." Chu Jinchen pointed at the noodles again.

Shi Ran took the bag of noodles and put it in.

"I want this too." Chu Jinchen pointed at the eggs and held out his palm. "I want five."

Shi Ran was speechless.

[?????]

[This scene looks familiar.]

[He's really up to something.]

[How childish! But I love it!!!]

[Such a cute Third Young Master!! Come quickly into Aunt's arms, Hahahaha...]

[If these two were just creating hype, I'd really eat the director alive.]

[I don't care. This CP is definitely real!!!]

After paying the bill, Chu Jinchen carried two shopping bags in each hand as they left the supermarket with the child.

At the door, Rui Rui stopped. He held out his arms to Shi Ran. "Mama, hug."

Hris voice was soft and lovely.

However, Chu Jinchen spoke first, "Men and women should not touch each other."

Rui Rui blinked his big, puzzled eyes and looked up at Chu Jinchen.

He smirked and said, "You're a boy, a man. You have to learn to walk on your own, not let adults carry you."

"Oh." Rui Rui pulled back his arms and hung his head in disappointment.

In the next second, his body was in the air as Shi Ran picked him up.

Rui Rui grinned happily, showing tiny teeth.

He turned around and said to Chu Jinchen with a smile, "Daddy, Mommy hugged me!"

Chu Jinchen narrowed his eyes and smiled without saying anything.

[This is definitely showing off!]

[Third Young Master: Where's my knife??]

[A battle between father and son hahahaha]

[I can already imagine Third Young Master competing with his own child in the future.]

[Wake up, CP fans. Even if Third Young Master gets married, it won't be with Shi Ran.]

When the three of them returned home, Chu Jinchen consciously carried the ingredients into the kitchen to cook.

Shi Ran on the other hand, stayed in the living room to play with Rui Rui.

Rui Rui was engrossed in playing with the model car he'd just bought at the supermarket.

Shi Ran glanced at the kitchen, thought about it, and walked over.

Chu Jinchen was cooking noodles. He looked as serious as if he was reading a ten-billion-dollar contract.

He was stirring the broth with a ladle.

When he saw Terran approaching, he smiled and scooped up a small spoonful of soup. He blew on it, then brought it to Shi Ran's mouth.

"Try it?"

Shi Ran didn't think much of it. She lowered her head and drank with her lips against the spoon.

"Nice," she complimented him.

"Really?" Chu Jinchen raised his eyebrows.

He scooped up another spoonful of soup and brought it to his mouth, his lips landing exactly where Shi Ran's lips had landed. Finally, he nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, it's indeed good."

[!!!!]

[Same spoon!!!]

[Indirect kissing!!!]

[ Don't be indirect. Please, just kiss like we don't exist!! ]

After lunch, it was time for a nap.

They brought Rui Rui to Chu Jinchen's room and changed him into the pajamas prepared by the production team.

Rui Rui then lay on the bed, rolling his fleshy body around.

"Go to sleep," Shi Ran whispered, patting Rui Rui.

"Rui Rui wants to sleep with Mom and Dad," Rui Rui said shockingly.

[Rui Rui's assist!!]

[That's it, Rui Rui!!!]

Shi Ran was stunned. Then she said, "You're a boy. You have to learn to sleep on your own."

"But Rui Rui always sleeps with Mom and Dad. Do Mom and Dad dislike Rui Rui?"

Rui Rui's lips were puckered and his eyes were red as though he was about to cry again.

Shi Ran held her forehead helplessly and looked at Chu Jinchen, indicating for him to settle it.

She really couldn't do anything about children.

However, Chu Jinchen looked helpless. "It's difficult for me to refuse a child's request."

Shi Ran was speechless.

[Pfft hahahahahaha]

[That's not what you said when you rejected Rui Rui's request to hug Master Ran at the supermarket.]

[Third Young Master has double standards.]

[The case has been solved. Third Young Master just wants to sleep with Master Ran.]

[Are all men so shameless when going after their wives?]

[Sure enough, it still depends on the face. If she was ugly, he wouldn't be like this.]

[So sweet, so sweet!!!]

In the end, Shi Ran relented.

Thus, Rui Rui got to lay in between her and Chu Jinchen.

Just when they thought they could have some peace for the time being, Rui Rui looked at Chu Jinchen with clear eyes and said crisply, "Dad, I want to hear you sing Rui Rui to sleep."

Chu Jinchen was stunned for a moment before the smile on his lips deepened. He then coaxed him patiently, "Sleep well."

"Rui Rui wants to hear it." Rui Rui pouted.

Shi Ran looked at Chu Jinchen. "Isn't it difficult for you to refuse a child's request?"

Chu Jinchen :"..."

Chapter 69: The Child's Mother Said No

[This group is really too funny. Hahahaha]

[Third Young Master has clearly acted out what it means to shoot yourself in the foot. Hahahaha.]

[Master Ran's revenge succeeded.]

[Third Young Master's voice is so nice. He must sing very well.]

[Third Young Master! Charge! Use our song to charm Master Ran!!]

[Looking forward to Third Young Master singing. It'll be super good!]

Chu Jinchen smiled and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Shi Ran nodded.

"Okay."

Chu Jinchen agreed and slowly opened his mouth under the expectant gazes of Rui Rui and the thousands of netizens.

A song of indeterminate pitch hummed from his lips.

The voice was like aged wine, but not a word of the song was in tune.

The pitch was like a roller coaster, rising and falling. It was impossible to tell what song it was.

Shi Ran: ???

[???????]

[I must have hallucinated.]

[Sorry. Leave me alone.]

[As long as I turn off the live broadcast, I won't have to hear Third Young Master sing and my fantasies won't be shattered.]

[So God really is fair. He gave him a handsome appearance, but he also made him tone deaf.]

[Third Young Master, please, stop singing. If you continue, your wife will run away!!!]

[Rui Rui: I'd rather I never opened my mouth to ask.]

In a hotel room not far from the beach house.

"Hahahahahahaha!" Qiu Yaohang watched the live broadcast and laughed until he was out of breath. "Help, I'm dying of laughter. Hahahaha."

Ji Wenfeng could not help but laugh too.

"I was wondering why Jinchen never sang. So it's because he's tone-deaf." Qiu Yaohang laughed until he rolled on the ground.

In the show, Chu Jinchen was still singing with a calm expression, as if he was not the one singing out of tune.

Miraculously, Rui Rui was already sound asleep to this strange singing.

Chu Jinchen's singing also stopped.

Seeing this, Shi Ran stood up and prepared to leave.

A second later, a form was handed to her.

She followed the well-defined hand and looked at Chu Jinchen's face.

Chu Jinchen pointed to the afternoon nap section.

It clearly said, "Accompany the child for an afternoon nap." In other words, she had to take an afternoon nap with the child.

Shi Ran frowned and met Chu Jinchen's teasing gaze before lying back down.

This time she simply closed her eyes, as if she really intended to take a nap.

Chu Jinchen smiled and closed his eyes.

[It really looks like a family of three.]

[Sleeping just like that???]

[All things aside, these two do look good when asleep.]

[Why don't they look fat when they sleep?? I'm impressed!]

[Those who envy Third Young Master, please replay his singing.]

Before long, Shi Ran's breathing gradually became even.

At this moment, Chu Jinchen opened his eyes. His black eyes were clear.

He turned on his side and focused on Shi Ran's side profile. His lips curved slightly, and the light in his eyes was actually hotter than the midday sun outside the window.

[So sweet, so sweet!!!]

[I knew he wasn't asleep yet!]

[Third Young Master successfully transformed into Shi Ran's fan.]

[Rui Rui: I should be under the bed, not on it.]

[I'll accept this outcome.]

[If Third Young Master says he doesn't like Shi Ran, I'll bring my head to you.]

[With Third Young Master's strong gaze, any woman would melt.]

[He's so handsome, he's really handsome!! Third Young Master has completely perfected my aesthetic sense!]

[I wish time can stop at this moment.]

After half an hour, Shi Ran woke up.

Aware of the hot gaze on her, she turned and met the eyes that were tinged with a smile.

"You weren't sleeping?" Shi Ran mouthed the words without making a sound.

Chu Jinchen also understood. He replied in the same way, "I don't have the habit of taking an afternoon nap."

[Shi Ran: The schedule says I have to take a nap with the kid.]

Chu Jinchen continued, "I didn't say that parents have to sleep. We just have to lie down."

The netizens in front of the screen could only see their mouths moving, but they could not hear anything clearly.

[My membership is VIP! Is there anything VIPs can't hear?]

[Damn it, they're censoring content on a variety show now??]

[They have secrets hidden from us already?? And they're lip-reading each other?]

[Strange forms of rapport have increased.]

[They can even lip-read. They're really a match made in heaven.]

Soon, the nap time passed and Rui Rui woke up slowly.

He rubbed his eyes, rolled over on the bed, got up, and pecked Shi Ran's face.

Chu Jinchen's smile faded as his deep gaze swept across Rui Rui.

That afternoon was divided into two parts.

First came the nurturing of a child's interests.

[Interests?? Something tells me it won't be a normal interest.]

[What skills can two people who only know how to raise a tiger and a wolf teach a child? Could it be a long-lost beast taming technique?]

[Previous commenter, you're in the wrong place. This isn't the Animal Channel.]

[Something tells me Third Young Master is up to no good again.]

Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen brought Rui Rui to the living room.

The other three groups, including the children, were also there.

Seeing them come down, Yu Ziqian's gaze kept wandering between Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen.

"Our upcoming activities will probably be the same, right?" Bai Jingtian smiled at Shi Ran.

"Probably." Shi Ran nodded.

She was about to sit down when she saw Chu Jinchen carrying Rui Rui to sit beside Bai Jingtian. He then lowered his head and asked, "Is there anything Rui Rui likes to do?"

[Third Young Master: Fortunately, I reacted quickly. Otherwise, my wife would have to sit beside my love rival.]

[For this wave, I stand with the Godly Face CP]

[Can our Tian Ran CP fans stand firm??]

[What about our baby? We, Yi Ran CP fans, are unconvinced.]

Shi Ran did not suspect anything and proceeded to sit down beside Chu Jinchen.

After a while, she heard Rui Rui say softly, "Rui Rui likes to draw."

Before Chu Jinchen could answer, Yu Ziqian interrupted, "Do you like to draw?"

"Yeah." Rui Rui nodded obediently.

"Then you should let Third Young Master teach you. The bathtub he drew today is still fresh in my mind. Third Young Master should be very good at drawing, right?"

Yu Ziqian smiled exceptionally sweetly at Chu Jinchen.

"I'm ok," Chu Jinchen said indifferently.

"I used to learn to draw, but I was too stupid to learn it." She wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue.

"Drawing requires talent."

"Then if Third Young Master teaches Rui Rui later, can Third Young Master teach me as well?" Yu Ziqian asked hopefully.

The program was being recorded now, and the camera was facing that way. With so many people watching, with Third Young Master's gentlemanly manner, she thought he would definitely not reject her.

At that time, she would be able to use drawing as an excuse to spend time with Third Young Master.

After making up her mind, Yu Ziqian was full of confidence and began to fantasize about how she would take down Chu Jinchen later.

However, the answer she was expecting did not appear.

Chu Jinchen turned to look at Shi Ran. "Can I?"

"Yes?"

"She asked me to teach her how to draw. Is that okay?" Chu Jinchen repeated patiently.

"Why are you asking me?" Shi Ran was puzzled.

"You're the child's mother. If she wants to freeload in the child's class, of course she has to ask you," Chu Jinchen said matter-of-factly.

[Damn! You know how to flirt!!!]

[THE KID'S MOTHER!!! LOL!]

[Freeload!!! Hahahahahaha..]

[Third Young Master's attitude towards Yu Ziqian and Master Ran is too different.]

[Look at Third Young Master's puppy-like gaze. He's just waiting for Master Ran to say no.]

"Either way is fine. It's up to you." Shi Ran's answer was simple and crude.

"Is that so?" Chu Jinchen smiled coldly.

He turned to Yu Ziqian, who was still waiting for his reply, and said righteously, "The child's mother said not to."

Chapter 70: Truth Or Dare

Yu Ziqian was speechless.

[I thought Third Young Master was going to deliberately agree to agitate Master Ran. I was wrong.]

[Third Young Master: Show everyone how to kill a peach blossom.]

[Master Ran: I didn't say anything though.]

[Chu Jin Chen is someone who will protect his wife.]

[Yu Ziqian: I just want to hide in a hole now.]

"Perhaps we can let the children draw together and draw what they want," Bai Jingtian said gently, relieving Yu Ziqian's embarrassment.

Yu Ziqian smiled gratefully at Bai Jingtian.

The crew brought in the drawing equipment and the children began to paint in high spirits.

An easel was also placed in front of Chu Jinchen. He picked up a charcoal pencil and after thinking for a while, he began to draw on the paper.

Shi Ran took a book from the shelf in the living room and sat in a chair in the front yard to flip through it.

The children in the living room were noisy but Chu Jinchen and Shi Ran were already in their own worlds.

As the minutes passed, his expression grew more intent and a smile started to grow on his lips.

Yu Ziqian glanced over and walked over.

When she saw what was on the painting, her expression changed. Then she glared at Shi Ran in the front yard.

Painting time was about to end when Shi Ran entered the room with her book.

Rui Rui ran up to Shi Ran with his painting and held it up for her to look at. "Mom, look at Rui Rui's painting."

Shi Ran knelt down and took the painting from Rui Rui.

The drawing was of a man and a woman holding a child. She pointed to the child in the middle and asked softly, "Is this Rui Rui?"

Rui Rui nodded happily, his meaty little finger pointing at the figures in the painting. "This is Rui Rui, this is Daddy, and this is Mommy."

"It's nice." Shi Ran ruffled Rui's hair.

Rui Rui's clear eyes sparkled. "Rui Rui is going to show Dad my paintings."

He ran towards Chu Jinchen with his short legs again.

"Daddy, Daddy." Rui Rui grabbed the corner of Chu Jinchen's shirt.

"Huh?" Chu Jinchen replied in a low voice.

"What's Dad drawing?" At that moment, Rui Rui's curiosity took over.

He leaned forward and immediately exclaimed, "It's Mom! It's beautiful."

The childish voice had successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Shi Ran raised her eyebrows and walked over.

The camera advanced on Chu Jinchen's painting.

On the white paper, Chu Jinchen used a charcoal pencil to outline a woman's exquisite outline.

She was wearing racing clothes, her long hair flying, and her lips were curved into a reckless smile.

It was Shi Ran.

"It's really good," Gu Jia said sincerely.

Not only was it well-drawn, but even the expression between her eyebrows was very vivid.

"I didn't expect Third Young Master to draw so well." Bai Jingtian was also a little surprised.

Shi Wenfei frowned and swept her gaze across Chu Jinchen and Shi Ran.

Could Third Young Master really have fallen for Shi Ran?

How is this possible?!

Why Shi Ran?

"Nice! Rui Rui likes it." Rui Rui tried to stand on tiptoe to reach out and touch the painting.

Chu Jinchen quickly picked him up.

Rui Rui beamed with happiness.

Chu Jinchen's lips curled up as he looked up at Shi Ran, as if waiting for her remarks.

"Not bad," Shi Ran replied.

Actually, from the bathtub that Chu Jinchen had drawn previously, it could be seen that Chu Jinchen's painting skills were very good.

However, she really couldn't appreciate that bathtub objectively.

As for the continuous praise from the others, Chu Jinchen's reaction was flat.

But this time, when he heard the words "not bad", even his black eyes were filled with happiness.

[The Double Standard Third Young Master appears again.]

[I can tell. Third Young Master only wants to hear Master Ran's praise.]

[As an art student, I must admit that Third Young Master painted really well!]

[Why does it feel like Third Young Master knows how to do everything?! ]

[The one who said Third Young Master knows everything. Our Third Young Master doesn't know how to sing.]

[If I were Master Ran, I would marry him just for this painting.]

Chu Jinchen picked up the painting and handed it to Shi Ran. "For you."

"Thank you." Shi Ran took it.

Yu Ziqian who was beside her stared with jealousy.

Shi Wenfei noticed her expression and her eyes flashed.

Time passed by quickly . Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen had already spent quite some time with Rui Rui and gradually became familiar with him.

Six P.M. Time was up.

Rui Rui bid farewell to Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen with red eyes.

He didn't forget to ask for their contact details before he left.

"Congratulations, everyone, for completing today's mission," Director Wang said with a smile. "The child's parents have given me the score. Now, we will announce today's rankings."

[I was only focused on Master Ran and Third Young Master's group today so I didn't pay much attention to the other groups.]

[Can Master Ran and Third Young Master get first place?]

[Just don't get last place. I want to keep watching them.]

[Neither Master Ran nor Third Young Master can be eliminated!]

"First place shall be announced. Shi Wenfei and Zhou Yufan."

"Really? That's awesome!" Shi Wenfei jumped up excitedly and hugged Zhou Yufan. "That's awesome! We're number one!"

In the next second, she seemed to have just realized that she was in Zhou Yufan's arms and retreated shyly.

Zhou Yufan looked down at her and smiled gently.

[Actually, these two are quite a couple.]

[Master Ran and Zhou Yufan are not compatible. These two are even more compatible.]

[Look at Shi Wenfei's reaction. She doesn't look like she's secretly involved.]

[If the two of them get together, Master Ran and Zhou Yufan can just break off the engagement. Anyway, I'm a Godly Face CP fan.]

[Still, no mutual feelings is not a reason for Zhou Yufan to cheat, right?]

Director Wang continued to announce the rankings. The second place was Bai Jingtian's team, and the third place was Zuo Yifei's team.

Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen, who were in first place yesterday, were in last place today.

Shi Wenfei's eyes flashed with pride.

However, because Chu Jinchen was in the team, she did not dare to say anything.

The others were more or less surprised, but the two people involved looked indifferent.

[Actually, I'm not surprised at all. Hahahaha.]

[If I were Rui Rui's father, I'd be fighting them at the Horse Stance segment.]

[These two obviously don't know how to take care of children. They don't have much experience too.]

When it was over, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Taking care of small children was an exhausting task for them.

It was half past eight in the evening. The originally silent living room suddenly became lively again.

Everyone gathered in the living room in their pajamas.

Yu Ziqian was wearing a sexy pajama dress. Her impressive cleavage was very eye-catching. After greeting everyone, she walked in.

She glanced at Shi Ran's ordinary pajamas.

She then straightened her back a little and looked pleased with herself.

She was quite confident in her figure.

Everyone sat around the table and Yu Ziqian deliberately chose the side with the most empty seats.

Chu Jinchen was the last to enter.

He immediately noticed Shi Ran, as well as Bai Jingtian and Zuo Yifei.

His dark eyes narrowed as he sat down quietly in the only empty seat.

It happened to be beside Yu Ziqian.

Yu Ziqian was overjoyed, but she knew that there were cameras around, so she pretended to be reserved and only smiled at Chu Jinchen.

"Tonight is for everyone to relax. Everyone can play games or chat together. I'll leave the time to you," Director Wang said.

Yu Ziqian glanced at Chu Jinchen from the corner of her eye. Her heart itched, so she spoke first, "Why don't we play Truth or Dare?"

"It seems like a good idea," Shi Wenfei immediately echoed, her treacherous gaze sweeping past Shi Ran.

Shi Ran didn't think that she could clear her name by hyping up her CP with Third Young Master, did she?

Tonight, she was going to ruin Shi Ran once and for all!

Chapter 71: Shi Ran's White Moonlight

"Let's do it the easy way. There's a deck of cards. We'll take turns drawing cards. Whoever gets the biggest card, he will be king. He can specify the one with the smallest card to do a job or answer a question."

"But it needs to be said in advance. Since we're playing truth or dare, you can't refuse whatever the king questions or asks you to do. You have to tell the truth."

Yu Ziqian had played this kind of game many times and could be said to be the most familiar with it. Therefore, when it came to rules, she was very clear about them.

No one disagreed.

Yu Ziqian began to shuffle the cards before she skillfully spread them out. "Now everyone will take turns drawing cards."

[This game sounds like fun.]

[Do you mean it when you say it's fun? It's boring when celebrities play Truth or Dare, okay?]

[It's in front of the camera. You guys aren't naive enough to think they'll ask any explosive questions, are you?]

[Just watching it for fun.]

Soon everyone finished drawing their cards.

"I'm a ten of diamonds." Yu Ziqian was the first to turn the cards over.

The others did the same.

"Shi Ran is a one of diamonds, the smallest card, and the biggest is Feifei's king of spades. Then Shi Ran, you can choose truth or dare now."

"Truth, I guess."

Shi Wenfei pretended to bite her lip in embarrassment. "I don't know what to ask."

Yu Ziqian understood. "Since we want the truth, everyone should agree beforehand to answer any question and of course, we can ask whatever explosive question we want."

"Then..." Shi Wenfei glanced weakly at Shi Ran. "Will Sister blame me if I ask a bad question?"

"Ask away," Shi Ran said calmly.

"Does Sister like anyone?"

The question was indeed unexpected.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Shi Ran.

Chu Jinchen bent one foot and lowered his arm, looking at Shi Ran with interest.

Bai Jingtian's expression did not change. He still had a faint smile on his face.

Zuo Yifei, on the other hand, looked nervous. He even secretly glanced at the most advantageous competitor, Chu Jinchen.

[Look at how useless our baby is.]

[Can you learn from the other two love rivals and calm down?]

[Zuo Yifei's nervous look, hahahahahaha]

[Third Young Master is still the calm one.]

[Blind guess is Third Young Master]

[Didn't you see how Master Ran treated Third Young Master today?]

[I guess the answer is no. And even if there is someone she likes, it's not likely to be any of the three people present.]

"No," Shi Ran replied crisply.

"No?!" Shi Wenfei seemed surprised, then carefully reminded her, "Sister, you have to tell the truth."

"I'm telling the truth." Shi Ran looked at Shi Wenfei with a half smile.

'She's up to something again, isn't she?'

"But I remember that you clearly have someone you like. Sister told me that that person is your White Moonlight."

Chu Jinchen wasn't surprised.

"White Moonlight?" Bai Jingtian glanced at Shi Ran.

"Who is it?" Zuo Yifei reacted the most and looked at Shi Ran aggrievedly.

[White moonlight?? My Master Ran actually has a crush!]

[Why do I feel that Third Young Master is way too calm?]

[It's normal to have a crush, right?]

[This is too much. Shi Ran is playing Truth or Dare and she still wants to lie.]

[I hate people who don't follow the rules of the game. If you're going to play, then play it well.]

[If Feifei hadn't exposed her, she would have really gotten away with it!]

[Can't afford to play +1]

Shi Wenfei covered her mouth in panic. "Am I not allowed to say any of this? We shall accept whatever the answer is?"

Yu Ziqian said, "Since you chose the truth, you have to tell the truth. If others expose you for lying, you'll have to crawl around the venue."

"Then won't Sister be punished?" Shi Wenfei looked down in self-reproach. "If I'd known, I wouldn't have said anything."

Looking at Shi Wenfei's hypocritical appearance, Shi Ran raised her eyebrows. "I'm also curious about who my White Moonlight is."

"Did you really forget, Sister? You told me at the time that you liked Qi Le very much. Back then, Mom and Dad didn't approve of your seeing him, but you kept insisting."

Shi Wenfei blinked innocently.

Chu Jinchen's eyes darkened.

'Qi Le?'

If it had been anyone else, he might have thought it was one of Shi Wenfei's tricks. But if it was Qile...

"Who is Qi Le? Is he also in the industry?" Yu Ziqian asked curiously.

"He's the head hostess of the Jade Hunter nightclub." The person who answered was Zhou Yufan.

Everyone: ????!!!

[Holy shit! Jade Hunter???!!!!]

[What's wrong with the Jade Hunter nightclub?]

[For the record, the Jade Hunter nightclub is the largest duck club in the country.]

[Duck???]

[F*ck!! Master Ran's White Moonlight is a gigolo??]

[Well ... ]

[Is Shi Wenfei trying to frame our Master Ran again?]

[Anyway, I don't believe it. Why would she like a duck instead of Third Young Master?]

Chu Jinchen looked up, the smile on his lips slightly cold. "CEO Zhou, you know quite a lot."

"Could Director Zhou have been there too?" Zuo Yifei asked.

Like the bullet screen comments, he did not believe that the current White Moonlight was the headliner of the Jade Hunter.

Zhou Yufan sneered. "Of course I know. I saw Shi Ran and Qi Le together with my own eyes, so I got someone to investigate him."

Shi Ran wouldn't think that She could rely on the trending searches yesterday to prove that he had cheated on her, right?

How naive.

Shi Ran would definitely deny it later.

At that time, he could directly produce evidence. He had plenty of evidence against Shi Ran.

The camera panned to Shi Ran.

Her lips curved. "So?" she asked frankly.

Everyone was speechless. !!

'So? ???'

'What do you mean?'

Was it an admission???

[It's true?!!]

[It's actually true?!!!!]

[Damn, how can she play around?]

[Holy shit. Glasses are shattered all over the floor.]

[That's disgusting.]

[To think that I'm supporting her and Third Young Master. She's not worthy of Third Young Master at all, okay?]

[You've tainted my baby. Baby Yifei, please don't like this kind of woman!!]

[I'm speechless. I'm simply in a speechless state.]

[This kind of artist should get out of the entertainment industry, right? Don't influence other children.]

[Still, I think Shi Ran is very honest.]

[Why admit it when you can deny it outright? No one will believe that stuff anyway.]

"Oh my God!" Yu Ziqian covered her mouth in surprise. "If it's the Jade Hunter, weren't you there looking for company?!"

"Maybe I'm a neat freak and can't accept this kind of behavior. Forget this kind of thing. I don't even think premarital sex is good. Shi Ran, did you... did you really find a duck?"

After saying that, Yu Ziqian stole a glance at Chu Jinchen and a smug smile flashed across her eyes.

She did not expect Shi Ran to be mixed up with a dirty headliner like the Jade Hunter.

Third Young Master, who just found out about the truth, should also feel disgusted at this moment, right?

In contrast, the clean and self-respecting her naturally had to be more attractive.

"Third Young Master, don't be angry. Sister only liked Qi Le in the past. With you now, how can Sister not forget Qi Le?"

Shi Wenfei directly directed the fire at Chu Jinchen.

If she were Third Young Master, she would have killed Shi Ran.

She felt smug.

If Shi Ran offended Third Young Master, she would probably not be able to survive in the entertainment industry anymore.

It wasn't only Shi Wenfei who felt the same way.

Everyone knew that Chu Jinchen was interested in Shi Ran.

How could Chu Jinchen's pride accept this?

Would Third Young Master just walk away later?

At this moment, everyone, including Director Wang, looked at Chu Jinchen anxiously.

Chapter 72: How Dare You Settle Scores With Me?

Chu Jinchen supported his chin and was calm and relaxed.

His lips curved as he met everyone's gaze. "You all seem to be expecting something."

There was no image of an imagined rage.

Everyone looked away, embarrassed.

They had thought that Third Young Master would be angry, but now it seemed that he did not even have the expected emotional fluctuations.

"Aren't you angry, Third Young Master?" Shi Wenfei asked indignantly.

Shi Ran had already done such a thing, but Third Young Master was still indifferent?!

Was it too much love or simply not caring?

She certainly preferred the latter.

"Should I be angry?" Chu Jinchen asked as he looked at Shi Ran.

Shi Ran smiled quickly. "Why should you be? Everything looks filthy to a filthy person."

"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that I wronged you?" Zhou Yufan narrowed his eyes unhappily.

"Where were we and what were we doing when you saw me and Qi Le? Why don't you elaborate on that?" Shi Ran asked.

She didn't want to deny that she and Qi Le knew each other.

In the memories of the original owner of this body, Qi Le had indeed accompanied her through a very torturous time.

It had nothing to do with Qi Le's status. In her heart, Qi Le was merely her friend.

"Someone who works at the Jade Hunter should meet at the Jade Hunter, right? Only VIP clients are qualified to select the top host, right?" Yu Ziqian guessed.

"She's the VIP of the Jade Hunter," Zhou Yufan said sarcastically. "Only VIPs have the ability to bring a Jade Hunter hostess to the mall and hang out with him every day. How can ordinary clients be able to do that?"

"It's just shopping. Is there a problem? I thought we were catching them in bed," Zuo Yifei said at the right time.

Whether this was true or not, it seemed a thing of the past to him.

He liked Shi Ran, not the past of Shi Ran.

"Still not enough? Who would look for a gigolo to go shopping with?" Zhou Yufan said disdainfully.

"If you hang out with ducks, then you aren't a decent person? Then, is CEO Zhou considered a decent person if he goes to the Charm Club?" Shi Ran played with the poker cards in her hand and looked up.

Charm Nightclub, another clubhouse that was as famous as the Jade Hunter.

"I'm there to talk about business," Zhou Yufan said in a low voice.

"I went to the Jade Hunt to look for ducks. CEO Zhou went to the Charm Nightclub to discuss business. What double standards." Shi Ran's mockery was direct and didn't beat around the bush.

[Although finding a duck is indeed a little... but how good is Zhou Yufan?]

[As a CEO like Zhou Yufan, he should be dirtier.]

[You've already enjoyed the company of female hostesses and you still have the right to criticize others??]

[No way, no way. Shi Ran, this is over just like that? How dirty it is to look for ducks!]

[If I had the money, I'd get one too. Happiness is everything.]

"You don't have to change the topic. I didn't expose you, nor did I settle scores with you back then. Of course, I don't care now," Zhou Yufan said generously.

"You're already involved with my sister. How can you have the cheek to settle scores with me?" Shi Ran said frankly.

Everyone was speechless.

[This sister is really bold.]

[Can a normal man really swallow his anger when he finds out that his fiancée is cheating on him?]

[Love or no love, men can't accept being cuckolded, can they?]

[Is that something I can hear on the show?]

[Truth or Dare has suddenly become a crime scene. I like it!]

[These two can really expose each other.]

[No, do you believe everything Shi Ran says? Who knows if it's a diversion?]

"What are you talking about?!"

"Sister, how... how can you say such a thing!"

Zhou Yufan and Shi Wenfei spoke one after another. One was angry, and the other was ashamed. They looked like they had been wronged.

Shi Wenfei looked at Shi Ran with tears in her eyes. "Sister, why do you keep framing me? What did I do wrong? Why are you doing this to me?"

Zhou Yufan continued righteously, "Wenfei and I are innocent, and our relationship is normal. Even if you don't like your sister, why drag her into this?"

"Innocent?" Chu Jinchen suddenly asked.

A smile appeared on his lips. "I saw President Zhou and his future sister-in-law kissing in the courtyard yesterday. Could I have seen it wrongly?"

[!!!!!!!!]

[Third Young Master's Explosive Speech]

[Kiss??? Are these two so blatant??]

[They're really together? Then wasn't my Master Ran cheated on?]

[No comment since I do not know the full picture.]

[Third Young Master: I'm here. No one can bully my wife.]

"Third Young Master must have been mistaken." Shi Wenfei bit her lip. Her expression was ugly, but she tried her best to hold it in because of the camera.

She did not expect Third Young Master to still stand on Shi Ran's side at this time!

"Perhaps," Chu Jinchen said meaningfully.

"This question should be over, right? Shouldn't we enter the next round?" Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Bai Jingtian stood up to help.

Yu Ziqian immediately chimed in, "That's right. Next round."

The situation was getting worse for Shi Wenfei and the others. Third Young Master was also on Shi Ran's side. If this continued, Shi Ran might even clear her name.

'Absolutely not!'

"You haven't said if you like Qi Le. If you lie, you'll have to crawl like a turtle." Chu Jinchen turned to Shi Ran and said.

Everyone in the room froze.

Wasn't Third Young Master on Shi Ran's side? Why did it seem different now?

[Looks like Third Young Master is angry after all.]

[Any man would be angry that the girl he likes hangs out with a gigolo.]

[Shi Ran brought this upon herself.]

[Am I the only one who thinks Third Young Master wants to hear Shi Ran personally deny that there's someone she likes?]

[Previous comment, +1]

[Third Young Master just wants to hear Master Ran say that she doesn't like that duck.]

[That's quite a trick. I wouldn't have thought of it if the bullet screen hadn't mentioned it.]

Shi Ran met Chu Jinchen's gaze and saw the faint smile in his eyes and she retracted her gaze.

"Qi Le is my friend. Being a Jade Hunter host is just his profession. It doesn't mean anything. His body is countless times purer than those of you who claim to be clean."

Shi Ran's cold gaze swept across Yu Ziqian, Zhou Yufan, and Shi Wenfei. Every word was clearly meant for the three of them.

"Next round." Chu Jinchen smiled when he got the answer he wanted.

[Third Master doesn't seem very promising.]

[He's so happy just because they're friends?? Can't you have some backbone? You're a diamond rich second-generation heir!!]

[I don't want to acknowledge this couple either, but the main character insists on knocking my head.]

[Master Ran is right. What's wrong with being the lead host? If not for making a living, who would want to do this?]

[Dirty people see everything dirty]

[He's just physically dirty. It doesn't mean he's dirty inside.]

[Third Young Master is actually jealous of a duck. I can't believe it.]

The game progressed to the second round. This time, Yu Ziqian shuffled the cards again.

When Shi Ran saw the cards in her hand, she looked at Yu Ziqian meaningfully.

She then made her cards public.

"Four of spades. Shi Ran again," Yu Ziqian said, feigning surprise.

She opened her cards. "I'm a ghost card. Then it's my turn to be king!"

"Ask away," Shi Ran said without a care, pushing her cards forward and leaning against the sofa behind her.

"Let's see." Yu Ziqian looked down as if she was thinking hard.

However, in fact, before this game started, she had already thought of a bunch of questions aimed at Shi Ran.

"Got it!" Yu Ziqian clapped.

She looked excitedly at Shi Ran and asked, "How many boyfriends have you had?"

Chapter 73: I Like Shi Ran

[Is this really a celebrity's Truth or Dare?]

[I like people like Yu Ziqian. She sure dares to ask!]

[Looking forward to it!!!]

[This is how Truth or Dare should be.]

[But won't they just answer whatever they want?]

[Isn't it always like that when celebrities are asked such questions. Either no such questions or more than three such questions would be asked.]

[Please, how can a public figure tell the truth? Why would I tell you I've had ten boyfriends?]

"Eight," came Shi Ran's crisp voice.

Everyone: "?"

Everyone fell silent. Even the bullet screen went silent for a few seconds.

"Ranran, we're talking about boyfriends, not suitors," Zuo Yifei whispered.

But because he was wearing a microphone, this whisper was instantly magnified countless times on the live broadcast.

"I'm talking about boyfriends." Shi Ran was so honest that everyone present was a little confused.

It was she herself who looked unconcerned.

The boyfriends were all of the original owner of this body anyway. The men she had dated weren't exactly likable and were merely a way for her to prove her charm.

Most of them were from the entertainment industry, and the longest they had been together was only a month. They could be counted on one hand, and physical contact was limited to holding hands.

She didn't feel this was something she needed to hide.

[Is there anything in the world that Master Ran doesn't dare to say??]

[Master Ran really tells everyone everything.]

[Eight! I'm really curious about their identities? Are they from the entertainment industry too?]

[Since Master Ran is so good-looking, her boyfriends should be quite good-looking too, right?]

[Why don't everyone take a look at Third Young Master's expression?]

Chu Jinchen's lips curled up, but his eyes were as deep as an ice pool. "Miss Shi, your love life is quite rich."

"It's fine."

[Hahahahahahaha]

[Third Master: There's a knife in his smile.jpg]

[Third Master: I'm not one of the eight exes.]

[Third Young Master: I'm really upset. I advise you to comfort me quickly.]

[Enough of the bullet comments, hahahaha. Don't expose Third Young Master. Leave him his underwear at least, hahahaha.]

[When Third Young Master dies of jealousy, none of her ex-boyfriends would be considered innocent. Hahahaha]

Seeing that Chu Jinchen seemed to be angry, a triumphant smile flashed across Yu Ziqian's eyes. She said in surprise, "There are so many of them. I'm so envious of Shi Ran. I haven't even had a boyfriend yet."

"You don't have to feel inferior," Shi Ran said seriously as she picked up the water on the table and took a sip.

Yu Ziqian: "?"

"I don't feel inferior. I just haven't met the person I like yet. Before I get to meet him, I want to protect myself," Yu Ziqian said with a forced smile.

Shi Ran looked Yu Ziqian up and down and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, you're safe."

Her tone was rarely gentle, but what she said was enough to make one vomit blood.

At this moment, Chu Jinchen's gaze landed on Yu Ziqian.

Yu Ziqian quietly straightened her back and showed off her impressive figure.

Chu Jinchen retracted his gaze. "You should be quite safe indeed."

Yu Ziqian froze and looked at Chu Jinchen in disbelief. Then she looked down at her own cleavage.

It wasn't perfect, but she had everything she needed. Yet this body was still called safe??

[Hahahahahaha, these two can really make people feel stifled.]

[Looking at Yu Ziqian's doubtful expression, hahahaha]

[There is reason to suspect that Third Young Master is deliberately seeking revenge.]

[I can't lose my temper with my wife, so I shifted my anger to Yu Ziqian, who was asking questions.]

[Third Young Master: Who asked you to ask how many boyfriends my wife has had!]

[Speaking of which, Yu Ziqian's figure is quite good, isn't it?]

[Are you serious about saying that she's better than Master Ran???]

[If Master Ran wears clothes like hers, it will definitely cause an uproar.]

[You in front, I have reason to suspect you of speeding. Please come with me.]

Yu Ziqian gritted her teeth in anger. She seemed to have thought of something, and a strange light suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Aren't you engaged to CEO Zhou? Wouldn't he mind you having a boyfriend?"

She almost let the topic pass.

Shi Ran had just claimed that Zhou Yufan had cheated on her, and yet she was admitting that she had eight boyfriends before.

Wasn't she asking for it?

It was really as Shi Wenfei had said. Shi Ran was a brainless idiot.

Zhou Yufan narrowed his eyes, looking displeased.

This time he said nothing, but anyone could see his irritation.

Shi Wenfei looked at Yu Ziqian with admiration and pretended to be flustered. "You're mistaken. Sister said that those guys were not boyfriends."

"What does that mean?" Yu Ziqian asked, playing along.

"Sister doesn't like them. They're just friends with benefits. Yufan, don't misunderstand Sister. She didn't betray you." Shi Wenfei explained anxiously.

Zhou Yufan's expression became uglier and uglier. With a livid expression, he said, "Wenfei, don't explain for her. She doesn't even take you as her younger sister, seriously. Why are you helping her?"

"I..." Shi Wenfei glanced at Shi Ran and lowered her head sadly.

The other three did not participate in the entire process. It could be said that they were the closest onlookers.

Looking at Shi Wenfei now, they all knew what she was planning.

Bai Jingtian smiled and said gently, "It's easier for people to misunderstand when Wenfei says something like that, but I think you mean well."

"I meant well." Shi Wenfei waved her hand, her expression darkening.

She did not expect that Bai Jingtian, who had always been aloof, would actually speak up for Shi Ran!

Could it be that he really liked Shi Ran?

"Feifei has only good intentions. She wants to help Shi Ran explain to CEO Zhou ," Yu Ziqian continued.

It wasn't easy to get an opportunity. How could she let Shi Ran go so easily?

"Why is there a need to explain?" Shi Ran raised her eyebrows domineeringly. "Guess why CEO Zhou didn't publicize this matter and take the opportunity to break off the engagement."

"Why?" Zuo Yifei asked curiously.

Shi Ran smiled at him. "Of course it's because President Zhou was wrong at first. How can he have the face to propose an annulment?"

"Shi! Ran!" Zhou Yufan gritted his teeth.

"Next round," Chu Jinchen said lazily.

"Okay," Yu Ziqian said, wanting to continue.

[That's the next round???]

[Running off in the middle of a sentence??]

[So why didn't Zhou Yufan break off the engagement? Why is he in the wrong?]

[Blind guess: Zhou Yufan was with Shi Wenfei first, right?]

[I thought she was going to be boring, but she's left me hanging.]

[Third Young Master clearly doesn't want to hear about Master Ran's past affairs.]

[Suddenly I'm looking forward to the next round.]

The third round began. This time, it was still Yu Ziqian who shuffled the cards.

"I'm king again," Yu Ziqian said, pleasantly surprised. "Who has the smallest card?"

She looked around in confusion. When she saw the three of diamonds in Chu Jinchen's hand, a triumphant smile flashed across her eyes.

But she smiled and said, "It's actually Third Young Master! Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Then let's ask something simple. What type of woman does Third Young Master like?" Yu Ziqian looked at Chu Jinchen expectantly.

As long as she knew what kind of person the other party liked, she did not believe that she could not handle Chu Jinchen!

Chu Jinchen tapped his index finger on the table and smiled. "I like..."

Yu Ziqian's breath hitched.

Chu Jinchen smiled and looked at Shi Ran. He said in a low voice, "I like... Shi Ran."

Chapter 74: As Long As It's You

[!!!!!!!!]

[Holy shit, is this a confession?? A confession???]

[Third Young Master is awesome!!! He hit a straight shot!!]

[Is my love line going to come true??]

[As expected of Third Young Master. Take the initiative and your wife will be yours!!!]

No one present expected Chu Jinchen to be so straightforward.

He confessed in front of the camera and the entire internet??

Yu Ziqian gritted her teeth so hard that her teeth almost broke and her gaze was as sharp as knives.

Shi Wenfei was also frowning at this moment, but she still asked with a smile, "Third Young Master, do you mean that you like her type?"

She did not believe that Third Young Master would really like Shi Ran.

Even Yu Fan looked down on Shi Ran, let alone the proud son of heaven, Chu Jinchen.

"No." Chu Jinchen's answer was simple and direct.

Shi Wenfei stood in shock.

'Not Shi Ran type?'

Did Third Young Master really like Shi Ran?!

[Third Young Master: I don't like this type. I like this person!!!]

[OMG!!! I'm so excited!!!]

[Together!!!!]

[I'm going to move the Civil Affairs Bureau over. The two of you can get married on the spot!!!]

[Newcomer here. May I know when these two will give birth?]

[That's the fastest couple I've ever seen.]

[Third Young Master is about to confess!]

The commenters got excited when the camera moved towards Chu Jinchen and zoomed in on his face.

Under everyone's gaze, his thin lips slowly parted. "I like Shi Ran's... gender."

Everyone: ???

[???????]

[Did I mishear? Gender??]

[What the hell does it mean???]

[Damn, I feel like I've been played.]

[I thought they were already planning to have children together, but now they tell me they're clean?]

[Third Young Master sure knows how to play with our feelings.]

Hearing Chu Jinchen's answer, the unwillingness in Yu Ziqian's eyes faded, and she smiled even more happily. "So you mean you like girls. What kind of girls do you like?"

Fortunately!

She knew it. How could Third Young Master like Shi Ran? She was not feminine at all!

Shi Ran narrowed her eyes and met Chu Jinchen's teasing gaze.

Her lips quirked. "Isn't it obvious what Third Young Master means? As long as it's a woman."

Clearly, Chu Jinchen still remembered the debt she owed him from their first meeting.

He even went on the show to set her up!

Chu Jinchen nodded in agreement. "Yes."

Yes???

This time, everyone was completely puzzled.

'As long as it's a woman? Are you serious?'

How could Third Young Master's requirements be so low?

Shi Ran also felt strange.

Why was Chu Jinchen so cooperative?

However, in the next second, Chu Jinchen smiled brightly and added, "As long as it's you."

Shi Ran: ???

[I'm not the one in a relationship. Why do I feel like I'm in a jumper?]

[Can you give us an exact answer? Entertain us singles?]

[Third Young Master is playing hard to get. Wonderful!]

[Master Ran is speechless. Hahahaha]

[So do you all still need me to move the Civil Affairs Bureau here???]

[Don't ever guess what Third Young Master is thinking.]

Shi Ran thought that Chu Jinchen did it on purpose, so she did not take it to heart.

She picked up the deck of cards from the table and smirked. "Next round."

"Let me do it." Yu Ziqian looked at the cards in Shi Ran's hand and panicked. She immediately smiled.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she continued to explain, "After all, I'm more familiar with it, and it doesn't matter who shuffles the cards anyway."

"I want to try," Shi Ran said, already shuffling the cards.

Yu Ziqian stared at Shi Ran's jerky technique and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she felt a little amused.

How could Shi Ran tell that she had done something?

She'd played this game many times. No one had ever noticed.

Shi Ran didn't look like she knew how to play either. What was there to be worried about?

At this thought, Yu Ziqian relaxed. She even took the opportunity to secretly size up Chu Jinchen beside her and move in his direction.

When the shuffling was over, they began to divide the cards.

Yu Ziqian was unimpressed at first but when she opened her cards, she was stunned to see the one of diamonds card.

She instantly looked at Shi Ran and saw that her expression was normal.

Coincidence, right??

It was definitely a coincidence. How could Shi Ran know how to swap her cards?

Everyone flipped open their cards one by one and it was revealed that Shi Ran obtained the ghost card to become the king of this round.

She smiled at Yu Ziqian, who had stiffened. "Truth or dare?"

Yu Ziqian held the cards tightly, treating it as a coincidence.

She said calmly, "I choose truth."

Shi Ran would definitely ask her how many boyfriends she had or if she had anyone she liked.

When the time came, she could tactfully confess to Third Young Master.

She had never been in love, and she liked Third Young Master anyway.

Third Young Master would definitely think she was a good girl, especially when compared to Shi Ran.

Her smile widened at the thought, and she looked expectant as she waited for the question.

"When was the last time you saw Zhou Yufan enter Wenfei's room?"

Yu Ziqian: "?"

'How is it different from what I imagined?'

Everyone: !!!

So explosive?!

Instinctively, Yu Ziqian glanced at Shi Wenfei.

Shi Ran reminded softly, "Tell the truth, or you'll have to crawl like a turtle."

"Sister..." Shi Wenfei's expression was ugly when she opened her mouth to say something.

"I'm the one asking the questions. I'm asking Yu Ziqian, not you," Shi Ran said sternly.

Shi Wenfei's words were stuffed back into her mouth just like that.

Yu Ziqian could only bite her lip in embarrassment.

How could she answer that?

Everyone knew that if she lied, Shi Ran would definitely not let the matter rest. She would be punished.

But if she told the truth...

She glanced at Shi Wenfei from the corner of her eye and noticed her malicious gaze which left her trembling in fear.

After struggling and hesitating for a while, Yu Ziqian had an idea.

'Right!'

Didn't President Zhou enter Wenfei's room today? The child was also there!

She looked up confidently and raised her voice. "Today, because of the mission..."

"Okay, next round," Shi Ran interrupted her explanation for the rest.

Yu Ziqian: "?"

Not letting her explain??

[Pfft hahahahaha]

[This is definitely revenge, hahahaha]

[Yu Ziqian's face hahahaha. It's really funny.]

[One can never guess how Master Ran is going to take revenge.]

[Still, it's too rude for Shi Ran to interrupt people like this.]

[Is this rude? Were those questions Yu Ziqian asked polite?]

While the comments were arguing, the venue had already finished shuffling the cards and entered the next round.

When everyone flipped their cards, the result was exactly the same as last time.

This time, Yu Ziqian was certain that Shi Ran must have done something!

But how was that possible?!

Shi Ran was so inexperienced when she shuffled the cards. How did she change the cards?

Her stomach was full of questions.

"Truth or Dare?"

At this moment, Shi Ran's voice sounded extremely terrifying to Yu Ziqian.

She tugged anxiously at the hem of her dress, still thinking of the previous question...

Finally she gritted her teeth and said, "I choose Dare."

"Oh?" Shi Ran raised her eyebrows and smiled with interest. "Then..."

Yu Ziqian stared at her nervously.

"Then do a sexy dance for Third Young Master Chu."

Chapter 75: Program Effect, Is It Fun?

Everyone was speechless.

'Are we playing Heartbeat today?'

Everyone's gazes landed on Chu Jinchen.

His smile was exceptionally devilish, but his eyes were cold. Anyone could tell that he was angry.

Third Young Master was not even angry when he found out that Shi Ran had eight boyfriends.

But now...

[The angry Third Young Master is so scary ]

[How dare you!!]

[My favorite couple is going to be broken apart?? NO!!!!]

[My heart aches for Third Young Master. Master Ran is too much.]

[Master Ran is a blunt girl. She probably doesn't even know that Third Young Master likes her.]

[Third Young Master is probably going to walk away, right??]

[Third Young Master, let's go. We don't want to suffer.]

Everyone was at a loss. Only Yu Ziqian looked happy.

She originally thought that Shi Ran would make things difficult for her, but she actually gave her such a chance!

Yu Ziqian looked at Chu Jinchen shyly and asked sweetly, "Third Young Master, can I?"

Chu Jinchen leaned against the sofa behind him and raised his eyebrows. "Sure."

Yu Ziqian was overjoyed. She was both shy and happy. She began to recall the various dances she had danced.

In the end, she chose the one with the highest response during the live broadcast.

She stood up, showing off the pajamas she was wearing, which had a deep V design displaying her impressive cleavage.

The skirt barely reached mid-thigh and hence when she danced, the hem kept rising.

Her eyes were like silk, her every movement seductive.

Looking at Chu Jinchen's handsome and charming face, Yu Ziqian's eyes gradually blurred.

In the next second, she mustered her courage and twisted her waist as she slowly approached Chu Jinchen.

Twisting her body enthusiastically, she stared boldly into Chu Jinchen's eyes.

Chu Jinchen glanced at Shi Ran and saw that she was in high spirits.

The smile faded from his lips. His dark eyes were as dark as pools, and the air pressure around him kept compressing.

At first, Yu Ziqian had the intention of seducing Chu Jinchen.

But under Chu Jinchen's gaze, her movements became more and more flustered.

It was still the same face, but she felt as if she would be eaten alive.

A cold smile appeared on Chu Jinchen's lips.

Yu Ziqian was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She didn't notice the movement under her feet and ended up stepping on her left foot with her right.

"Bam—"

She hit the floor. Despite the protection of the carpet, her knee was bruised.

It was also because she was lying down that her chest was exposed and was captured by the camera opposite her.

"Ah!"

Yu Ziqian screamed and quickly covered her chest.

She subconsciously glanced at Chu Jinchen.

Third Young Master was opposite her so he must have seen it too, right?

She looked up into those hypnotic black eyes and was automatically drawn to them.

But when she noticed the mocking smile on the sexy lips, she felt a chill.

Instantly, she felt like a joke.

[It's really scary.]

[Yu Ziqian: In the end, I shouldered everything alone.]

[Poor thing. But I have to say, Yu Ziqian has a really good figure.]

[Third Young Master is actually able to remain calm. Please give Master Ran a thumbs up!]

[Does Yu Ziqian like Third Young Master?? Definitely. It's so obvious.]

[This is the first time I've seen Third Young Master angry. I'm scared out of my wits through the screen.]

[Please, don't do it again!]

No one dared to breathe loudly as they observed Chu Jinchen's expression with trepidation.

Even Director Wang began to wonder if he should just end the filming like this.

He could not afford to anger Third Young Master after all.

Everyone had thoughts of their own and wondered if they should go back to sleep.

However, Chu Jinchen restrained his emotions and a familiar smile appeared on his lips. "Next round."

His jade-like knuckles picked up the deck of cards on the table. He slowed, shuffling the cards slowly.

Everyone was still shaken.

After Chu Jinchen dealt the cards.

This time, it was Shi Ran who got the smallest card. The king was Chu Jinchen.

"Truth," Shi Ran said calmly.

She knew Chu Jinchen's personality well. He would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

Although she did not know why Chu Jinchen was angry.

But all she could do now was endure his anger.

[He's coming!! He's coming with his revenge!!!]

[I'm looking forward to what Third Young Master will ask Master Ran.]

[Third Young Master was so angry just now. He probably won't let Master Ran off easily this time.]

[Feels like it's going to be another hot question.]

[I feel like Master Ran is finished.]

[I hope Third Young Master can treat Master Ran better. Please, don't hurt each other.]

"You can't ask too many questions!" Zuo Yifei also believed that Chu Jinchen would take revenge and reminded him.

Chu Jinchen glanced at Zuo Yifei.

There was a sneer on his thin lips as he spoke under everyone's uneasy gaze. "Why did you let her dance for me?"

Everyone: "?"

Shi Ran: ???

[???????]

[Pfft hahahaha, what's with that aggrieved tone??]

[I really will laugh at this question. I'm just saying. Can you be more hardworking?]

[I thought Third Young Master would take revenge and say proudly that it was nothing.]

[The filter broke the family!]

[Master Ran is stunned, hahahahaha]

[Third Young Master is so cute!!! I love him so much!!!]

The corners of Shi Ran's eyes twitched slightly as she didn't know what Chu Jinchen was thinking, but still said truthfully, "I just found it fun. It's for show effects."

"It's really fun indeed! I think Ranran suggested it very well!" Zuo Yifei echoed.

Previously, he was afraid that Ranran would like Third Young Master.

Now it seemed that Third Young Master was far from getting her heart.

So it means his chances were still high.

Zuo Yifei smiled happily, not hiding his schadenfreude at all.

After hearing that, Chu Jinchen glanced at him and smiled meaningfully.

[Damn, our baby Yifei has been marked!!]

[Baby, God bless you]

[Baby, Mommy can't help you anymore. I can only hope that there's no Third Young Master Chu in heaven.]

This time, it was Chu Jinchen who dealt the cards. As expected, the smallest card was Zuo Yifei and the king was Chu Jinchen.

"Truth or dare?" Chu Jinchen asked with a faint smile.

"Dare." Zuo Yifei didn't hesitate.

[My Baby is being too silly and sweet.]

[If you can beat Third Young Master and woo Master Ran, I'll eat shit upside down.]

[Our baby is really silly and sweet.]

"Then let's see you run around in a dress," Chu Jinchen said casually.

"What?!" Zuo Yifei was in disbelief.

However, he could not refuse. In the end, he changed into a white dress in embarrassment and walked out.

The dress was a tight-fitting design, but because Zuo Yifei had an exquisite and slender figure, it looked surprisingly good on him.

However, when Ranran looked over, Zuo Yifei abruptly leaned against the wall and wailed loudly, "Ranran, don't look at me! Please."

The crowd burst into laughter upon seeing this.

The comments were also filled with "Hahahaha".

Only Chu Jinchen smiled faintly.

Director Wang noticed this scene and decided to end the heartbeat game at the right time.

It was just a heartbeat!

His heartbeat!

Everyone went back to their rooms.

Shi Ran went for a jog for half an hour before getting back to the beach hut.

When she passed Chu Jinchen's room, the door suddenly opened.

The next second, she felt a strong grip on her wrist and was dragged forward.

She was pulled into the room.

"Bang—"

The door closed.

Shi Ran was pressed against the door, the chest in front of her emitting warmth.

A cool voice hung over her head. "Show effects. Was it fun?"

Chapter 76: Kissing

Shi Ran suddenly looked up and was stunned for a moment when she saw Chu Jinchen's angry expression.

'Was he angry?'

'Why?'

The room was dimly lit, and only the moonlight outside the window emitted a faint glow.

Chu Jinchen had trapped Shi Ran between the door and his embrace.

His large palm had restrained Shi Ran's hand, and the distance between the two of them was extremely close.

When the audience saw this, they exploded.

[Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!! What's going on???]

[Is Third Young Master going to force himself on her???]

[Is this really something I can look at???!!]

[Kiss!!!]

[Turn on the light. It's so dark. Who are you trying to fool?!]

[LIGHTS ON!!!!]

And yet...

"Pa—"

The live stream went dark.

[???????]

[Damn, the production team can't afford to play, can they???]

[Turn off the camera?? Director, come out and let's talk!]

[Turning off the camera at this time?? ? ? ? ! ! ! ! ]

[Open it!!! I'm willing to pay to see it!!!]

[I'll pay a hundred dollars to see it!!!]

[Director, don't make me kneel and beg you. Please, let me see!!]

Just as something was about to happen between the two of them, the camera was suddenly switched off.

The audience felt their hearts clench.

However, someone still intercepted the footage of Chu Jinchen pulling Shi Ran into the room and posted it online.

Soon, the video became extremely popular and became a trending topic.

When Wen Yufei saw this trending topic, she was stunned on the spot.

The phone fell from her hand and the screen cracked into a spiderweb shape.

"Sister Yufei..." Xiao Qi didn't know what to say.

"Impossible! This isn't real! It's definitely not real!" Wen Yufei said as she retreated. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

There was a look of desperate sadness on her delicate face.

Xiaoqi's heart ached. She went forward and hugged Wen Yufei. "Sister Yufei, it's okay. This must be fake. It must be a publicity stunt by the production team!"

"As you know, the program team loves this kind of program effect. This is a program KT invested in so Third Young Master must be cooperating with the publicity team."

"Really?" Wen Yufei grabbed Xiao Qi's arm tightly.

"It's true! It's really true, Sister Yufei." Xiao Qi grimaced in pain, but she still chose to comfort Wen Yufei first.

Then, Wen Yufei let go of her grasp and her body went limp.

She lowered her head to the floor and smiled ruefully. "Don't try to comfort me, Xiao Qi. I know better than anyone what kind of man he is."

"No one has ever been able to make him lose control of his emotions. Shi Ran is the first so he must really like Shi Ran."

"What am I going to do, Xiao Qi? What am I going to do? I have liked him for all those years. Sixteen years. Sixteen whole years."

"I've only had eyes for him for the past sixteen years. I tried my best to learn the etiquette of the Chu family and wanted to be his wife and stand by his side, but why..."

"Why doesn't he like me? What's so bad about me?! Why?"

Wen Yufei gradually lost control of her emotions.

Xiao Qi was anxious at this sight and could only comfort her by saying, "Sister Yufei, how can you doubt yourself? Shi Ran can't compare to you in any way."

"So what if Third Young Master really likes Shi Ran? She won't be able to enter the Chu family either. Old Master Chu will definitely not agree to it. In the end, you'll still be the one standing beside Third Young Master."

Wen Yufei's emotions gradually eased. She lowered her head and did not speak for a long time.

She had never been more devastated.

"Sister Yufei, you can't give up. If you give up, Shi Ran might really take your place!" Xiao Qi said.

"Yes! I can't give up." Wen Yufei's lost gaze gradually regained focus.

Her eyes were dark and filled with a strange light. "I definitely won't let Shi Ran have any chance of being with Jinchen. Xiao Qi, give me my phone."

Xiao Qi immediately handed her a phone.

Taking a deep breath and collecting her emotions, Wen Yufei dialed a familiar number.

"Grandpa."

"Yufei, I already know about that brat. Don't worry, I definitely won't allow a woman of unknown origin to enter my family!" Chu Qiteng said angrily.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. I think Jinchen is just cooperating with the show," Wen Yufei said gently.

"You're being bullied by Jinchen because you're too kind-hearted! I've already sent someone to capture that brat. I won't allow the two of them to meet again!"

After confirming Old Master Chu's intentions, Wen Yufei heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, she stood up and said in a cold tone, "Xiao Qi, prepare the car and let's go to the recording venue of 'Love Warning'."

"Yes."

... .

"It's even trending?" Qiu Yaohang looked incredulous. "If Yufei sees this, she'll be heartbroken."

They were on their way to the beach house.

Not to mention the netizens, even he was curious about what the two of them were doing in the room.

He and Ji Wenfeng were rushing to the scene, preparing to watch the show live.

Glancing at Ji Wenfeng's serious expression, Qiu Yaohang smiled annoyingly. "Why? Are you starting to worry after hearing that Yufei will be sad? Why don't you comfort her?"

"When a woman is sad, her psychological defense is the lowest. I think you can take advantage of this moment. If you can move Yufei, you..."

"Shut up," Ji Wenfeng interrupted Qiu Yaohang. "It's not her I'm worried about."

"Well, well, well. Who else could it be?" Qiu Yaohang looked unconvinced.

"Of course it's my goddess! Third Young Master actually wants to seduce my goddess!"

At this thought, Ji Wenfeng stepped on the accelerator and accelerated.

The corners of Qiu Yaohang's mouth twitched. "Look at you!"

The House by the Sea

Trapped and unable to move, Shi Ran could only say helplessly, "You started it. That's why I made that request. I didn't know you would be so angry."

"You think everything I did was revenge on you, don't you?" Chu Jinchen asked meaningfully.

"Wasn't it?" Shi Ran blinked.

In the original book, Chu Jinchen was a villain who would seek revenge for the smallest grievances. Otherwise, he would not have gone against the female protagonist.

Chu Jinchen looked at her for a long time before a low laugh escaped his throat. "I'm indeed taking revenge on you, but you're not taking the bait. I'm very disappointed."

The man's laughter was right beside her ear, and she suddenly shrank back in discomfort.

She reached out and pushed Chu Jinchen. "You can take revenge on me. That's your freedom, but not in front of the camera."

"Oh?" Chu Jinchen raised his eyebrows. "Since I'm not in front of the camera now, can I take revenge?"

"How?"

"You had left a mark on me so I want to leave a mark on you too." A scheming glint flashed across Chu Jinchen's black eyes as his lips curled up slightly.

"Alright, you'll have to write our debt off after that." Shi Ran didn't think too much about it. She just wanted to end this boring farce as soon as possible.

"Okay." Chu Jinchen nodded meaningfully.

She turned around and exposed her fair neck to Chu Jinchen.

Chu Jinchen reached out and held the back of Shi Ran's neck.

She shuddered and bit her lip in silence.

Chu Jinchen slowly lowered his head. His hand gently caressed the tender skin on her neck, causing her to tremble.

She frowned a little, feeling very strange physically.

Wanting to protest Chu Jinchen's actions, she turned her head.

Just then, Chu Jinchen leaned forward.

In the next second, Chu Jinchen's lips landed on Shi Ran's lips.

Chapter 77: I Thought It Was Your Neck, So I Sucked

Shi Ran was stunned, not knowing how to react.

The touch of his lips was getting hotter. She could feel Chu Jinchen wrap one hand around her waist and send her forward.

They were closely wrapped around each other at that moment.

'Did they... kiss?'

Before Shi Ran could react, her lips stung a little.

Chu Jinchen was sucking on her lip!

Shi Ran stiffened.

In all the years of her past and present life, she had never been so intimate with a man.

They didn't even hold hands, let alone kiss.

She suddenly pushed Chu Jinchen away.

Under the moonlight outside the window, she saw Chu Jinchen smiling. The smile on his lips was happier than ever.

"You!" Shi Ran was about to question him.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jinchen spread his hands innocently. "I thought it was your neck, so I sucked it. I didn't expect..."

Shi Ran leaned her back against the door.

How could she believe such a lousy excuse?

Biting her lip, she felt the pain on her lips. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Chu Jinchen for a long time.

Chu Jinchen laughed contentedly.

"Let's fight," Shi Ran said seriously.

Chu Jinchen: "?"

It was a reaction he had not expected at all.

The camera in Chu Jinchen's room was turned off, but the show continued. The other guests' cameras were still on at that moment.

The bullet screen decided to use the help of other guests.

A large number of troops rushed into the other live-stream rooms and kept sending bullet comments, asking the other guests to go to Chu Jinchen's room to investigate.

Yu Ziqian was the first to notice the comments.

She was an anchor and had a habit of reading bullet comments.

Therefore, the moment she saw these comments, she immediately got up and walked towards Chu Jinchen's room.

Standing in the doorway of the room, she first probed for sounds.

Silence.

Thus, she began to knock on the door. At first, it was just a light knock. Later, she knocked harder and more frequently, but there was still no response.

She immediately went to look for Director Wang, but Director Wang was afraid of Chu Jinchen and did not dare to turn on the camera.

Then there was a noise outside the cottage.

Seven luxury cars stopped at the entrance of the beach hut at the same time, alerting the production crew.

The doors opened and serious-looking bodyguards in black suits got out.

They stood in well-trained columns.

Wen Yufei who was just getting out of her car, saw the Chu family's bodyguards, and heaved a sigh of relief.

When she looked up, she saw Qiu Yaohang and Ji Wenfeng, who also had just arrived at the hut.

She immediately walked toward them.

"Yufei? What are you..." Qiu Yaohang looked at the bodyguards and shouted in his heart.

Old Master Chu actually mobilized the Chu family's bodyguards?!

Wasn't it obvious that he wanted to capture Third Young Master and send him back??

Oh no, Third Young Master had gone overboard.

"I heard that Grandpa sent bodyguards here, so I was worried and came over to take a look," Wen Yufei explained.

She looked anxious and kept looking at the hut. "How's Jinchen?"

"We just got here," Qiu Yaohang said.

Before he came, he had called Jinchen many times, but no one answered.

He guessed that the battle must have gotten too intense, so he did not continue calling.

But now it seems...

It was difficult for the battle to not be intense.

The bodyguard stood in a column and marched into the hut.

Old Master Chu had already sent someone to inform Director Wang in advance, so no one stopped them.

They gathered at the door of Chu Jinchen's room.

[Holy shit! Who are these people???]

[Could it be a special event prepared by the production team?]

[He looks like he's not to be trifled with. This doesn't feel good.]

The leader of the bodyguards raised his hand and knocked on the door. His voice was deep and powerful. "Third Young Master, on Master's orders, please follow us back to the old residence."

[Master? Old residence??? It's the Chu family!!!]

[I told you Third Young Master and Shi Ran were impossible. Look, they're here to arrest someone.]

[No! My CP flag must not fall!!]

[This is breaking up a couple!!!]

[How can a wealthy family like the Chu family accept Shi Ran? It's time for the CP fans to wake up.]

At this moment, Wen Yufei and the other two

rushed over.

When Wen Yufei's face appeared in the livestream, the comments exploded.

[Is this... Fei Fei?? Is this really Fei Fei???]

[Why is Wen Yufei here?? Oh my god!! I'm so excited!]

[Fei Fei is here too. Is Fei Fei also a guest of the production team?]

[Fei Fei!! Mommy loves you!!!]

[Why is Wen Yufei here?? This program can actually get a big shot like Wen Yufei here?]

[I remember that the production team invited Feifei in the first place. Later on, Feifei didn't go, so it was changed to Shi Ran, okay?]

Wen Yufei stood in front of the door and looked at the closed door in front of her, but she flinched.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Qiu Yaohang and Ji Wenfeng looked at each other and said nothing.

The other guests from the program team had also ran out when they heard the commotion.

They also learned about this from the bullet screen.

The group stood just inside the door, which remained closed.

Everyone looked solemn and grim.

"Let's break in," the lead bodyguard said firmly.

[The more you look at it, the more it looks like you're catching them in the act.]

[He's breaking in just like that?? He won't see anything he shouldn't see, right?]

[Netizens of the bullet screen, put on some pants.]

He knocked some more, but there was still no movement inside.

Eventually the bodyguard decided to break in.

"Wait." Ji Wenfeng and Qiu Yaohang stopped him at the same time.

"You're the Chu family's bodyguards, right? Aren't you afraid that Third Young Master will blame you for breaking through this door?" Qiu Yaohang questioned.

His calls had gone unanswered so he could only try to buy time.

"We were ordered by Old Master to bring Third Young Master back today," the bodyguard said righteously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned sideways and slammed into the door.

At this moment, Director Wang rushed over. "There's no need to crash! I have the key!"

He was panting.

Fortunately, he had rushed here in time.

Otherwise, this door would have been broken.

This venue was rented so if it was damaged, he would need to make compensations.

Director Wang trembled as he handed the key to the bodyguard.

The key went into the lock and turned right.

The door was opened.

Everyone's breathing slowed as they looked into the room.

First the rustle of clothes, then the rattle of furniture.

"No way." Qiu was incredulous.

The next moment, the door was pushed fully open and the scene in the room came into view.

Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen were facing each other in an attacking posture.

Shi Ran swept her leg like a knife and sent it flying towards Chu Jinchen's face.

Chu Jinchen bent down and dodged it.

A sharp glint flashed across Shi Ran's eyes as she aimed her fists at Chu Jinchen's abdomen.

Chu Jinchen dodged and grabbed Shi Ran's hand.

The two of them quickly wrestled. Every move was clean and neat, and they were inseparable.

The group of people who had expected to see some passionate scene: ???

Chapter 78: The Sweetest Words

[?????]

[I was ready to scream and you guys showed me this??]

[I want the devilish fighting, not this kind of fighting!!!]

[Is Third Young Master incapable in bed so they're fighting at this time?!]

[If I were Third Young Master, I'd have taken her to bed.]

[The previous comment. Master Ran's combat power won't allow Third Young Master to do that, ok?]

[Master Ran is really handsome when she fights!]

Everyone outside the door crowded in. The room, which had been relatively large, suddenly became tight.

The two people who had been fighting to the point of no return also stopped at that moment.

Chu Jinchen glanced at the crowd at the door with a faint smile on his lips. "So lively?"

"Third Young Master, we are under orders to bring you back," the leader of the bodyguards said respectfully.

"Oh?" Chu Jinchen's gaze sharpened and landed on the bodyguard.

The bodyguard lowered his head even more and stood there waiting quietly, not daring to speak again.

"Jinchen," Wen Yufei said gently.

She took a few steps forward and walked up to Chu Jinchen.

Seeing the sweat on his forehead, Wen Yufei said angrily, "Look at you, your forehead is sweating. Don't you usually like to be clean?"

Chu Jinchen looked down at her and raised his eyebrows.

Wen Yufei frowned slightly and bit her lip. "I heard that Grandpa sent someone over so I followed them here because I was worried. You won't blame me, right?"

"No." Chu Jinchen looked away, his expression normal.

"That's good. I'll go back with you tonight and visit Grandpa." Wen Yufei smiled brightly.

Everyone present looked at the two of them with confusion in their eyes.

[Third Young Master and Fei Fei actually know each other!! And they seem to be very familiar with each other.]

[Grandpa?????]

[Familiar? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with their relationship?]

[Is my Master Ran going to have a love rival?]

[If Wen Yufei is her love rival, Shi Ran can't win.]

[Master Ran is prettier than Wen Yufei and has more skills. I think it's a complete victory.]

[Shi Ran's fans are shameless, okay? How can she compare to our Feifei? Her family background is enough to crush her, okay?]

[The Wen and Chu families seem to be old friends, right? Then it's not surprising that these two know each other.]

[These two more than know each other. Their relationship is probably not simple either.]

[No!!! My god-faced CP!!!]

[It's obvious that our Feifei and Third Young Master are more compatible. They're a perfect match.]

The comments began to speculate about the relationship between Chu Jinchen and Wen Yufei.

Chu Jinchen sat lazily on the sofa, his long legs crossed.

The hallway light illuminated the dim room. Against the flickering background, his expression was condescending. "What if I don't leave?"

The bodyguard's fear was belated.

Compared to his master, Third Young Master was actually the most terrifying person in the Chu family.

"I'm sorry, Third Young Master. This is an order from the master. If you don't leave, we can only take you away by force."

When the bodyguard said this, he did not even dare to look up at Chu Jinchen.

The smile on Chu Jinchen's lips turned cold.

His gaze swept over everyone's different expressions and finally landed on that gorgeous, cold face.

"Should I go with them?" Chu Jinchen suddenly asked.

Everyone did not understand, but when they noticed his gaze, they instantly understood.

Wen Yufei stood beside Chu Jinchen and watched as he treated another woman specially in front of her.

She was sad, but more than that, she was determined to get rid of Shi Ran now.

Standing in the middle of the room, she met Chu Jinchen's seemingly calm eyes. "You decide on your own."

"What if I don't want to leave?" Chu Jinchen said mysteriously, his black eyes moving on his red lips.

That mouth always said something he didn't like to hear.

Shi Ran couldn't figure out Jin Chen's thoughts and could only follow her heart. "I can help you... fight them off."

"Pfft." Qiu Yaohang laughed at the wrong time and immediately covered his mouth again.

This answer was ridiculous to everyone, let alone Qiu Yaohang.

[As expected of Master Ran hahahahahaha.]

[I thought it would be some straight talk or sweet talk, but it's so simple and crude.]

[Master Ran is really blunt!!!]

"Miss Shi is interesting indeed," Wen Yufei said with a smile, seemingly amused.

How could a woman always mention the word 'fight' like a man?

She looked down at Chu Jinchen and was stunned.

At this moment, Chu Jinchen supported his chin with his hand. The corners of his lips curled up as he smiled exceptionally.

Anyone could see that he was in an excellent mood.

'But why?'

'Just because Shi Ran said he would help him fight off the bodyguards?'

Everyone wondered in curiosity.

Chu Jinchen slowly stood up and walked to Shi Ran with firm steps.

He stood still and looked down.

Shi Ran then looked up.

Their eyes met.

Chu Jinchen smiled and his tone was filled with gentleness, "I'm going home for a while. Wait for me to come back."

Shi Ran blinked, her pupils showing some confusion.

'Why wait for Chu Jinchen to return?'

She opened her mouth.

Guessing what she was going to say, Chu Jinchen interrupted her in advance, "There's no need to speak. Just wait."

He didn't want his good mood to be ruined today.

After saying this, Chu Jinchen turned on his toes and walked out briskly.

Wen Yufei immediately followed. When she passed by Shi Ran, she gave her a friendly smile. "Miss Shi, see you next time."

As soon as Chu Jinchen left, the bodyguards also left in an orderly manner. The room immediately became empty.

"Jinchen seems to be in a... good mood. Sister Shi Ran, do you know why?"

Qiu Yaohang looked at Shi Ran tentatively.

She also looked puzzled.

Could just one sentence make Chu Jinchen so happy?

Chu Jinchen walked out of the seaside hut with his bodyguards following closely behind.

Curious about the commotion, a neighbor poked his head out, trembled at the sight, and promptly shut the door and windows.

The bodyguards ushered Chu Jinchen into the luxury car in the middle.

Wen Yufei followed and sat in.

She looked shyly at Chu Jinchen, who was playing with his phone with a smile on his lips.

Her expression darkened, but she still smiled. "Jinchen, are you in a good mood?"

"Yes," Chu Jinchen replied, his tone rising.

His mind was still replaying what Shi Ran had said.

—I can fight them off for you.

The smile on his lips deepened.

It was the sweetest words he'd ever heard.

The black luxury cars drove away one after another, and the beach house was quiet again.

Shi Ran had returned to her room.

At the same time, Ji Wenfeng and Qiu Yaohang were still there.

Sitting on the bed with her head lowered, her brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of gloom between them.

Qiu Yaohang and Ji Wenfeng looked at each other.

"Shi Ran, what's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood. Is it because Jinchen left?"

[Oh crap?! Is it because Third Young Master left?]

[Master Ran is enlightened???]

[What's the point of attaining enlightenment when the person's already gone???]

[Master Ran's Third Young Master is really unlucky.]

[Why didn't Third Young Master see this!!! Otherwise, he would have been overjoyed!]

[Wasn't Third Young Master happy enough when he left? He was just short of bouncing.]

[Master Ran is definitely reluctant to part with Third Young Master. This is the first time I've seen Master Ran show such an expression.]

[Master Ran, don't be sad. Third Young Master told us to wait for him! He will definitely come back!]

[My heart aches for Master Ran. Is my couple really going to be separated?!]

Ji Wenfeng couldn't bear the sight and sighed. "Shi Ran, don't be sad. Third Young Master..."

Before he could finish, Shi Ran looked up.

Her face was curious and annoyed, her red lips slightly parted.

"Who taught Chu Jinchen martial arts?"

Everyone: "?"

Chapter 79: Why Is Your Mouth So Red?

"Martial arts? What martial arts?" Qiu Yaohang thought he had misheard and looked at Shi Ran in shock.

She pondered for a moment before saying, "There aren't many people who can fight me to a standstill."

"So that's the question you've been thinking about?" Qiu Yaohang's lips twitched.

For a moment, he didn't know if he should feel sorry for Jinchen or gloat.

The dignified Third Young Master actually had such a day?!

"Yeah." Shi Ran nodded.

In her previous life, she was the head of the number one combat family. Very few people were her match.

Although in this world she had a different body, with her training, it had returned to its peak state.

But Chu Jinchen...

He looked weak, but was unexpectedly explosive when he attacked.

And the moves he used...

"Alright, stop thinking about it!" Qiu Yaohang interrupted Shi Ran's thoughts.

"Aren't you worried for Jinchen's capture?"

"Why worry?" Shi Ran asked.

Even if Chu Jinchen was captured, the place he was going to end up in was the Chu family anyway.

As the future heir of the Chu family, how could the Chu family dare to do anything to him?

"You're really... calm."

[My heart aches for Third Young Master hahahaha]

[Master Ran is really straightforward. Third Young Master has a long way to go.]

[Third Young Master, rest in peace. We'll take care of Master Ran.]

[I can only say that Master Ran doesn't like Third Young Master. It's quite good. He stopped the damage in time.]

[I don't think Third Young Master likes Shi Ran that much. He left so quickly.]

[To be honest, with Third Young Master's status, he would at most play around. How could he have any real feelings?]

[What you can't have will always stir your heart.]

[Family opposition. Third Young Master has probably given up.]

Qiu Yaohang laughed and shook his head.

He originally thought that the greatest obstacle for Jinchen to be with Shi Ran was Old Master Chu.

From the looks of it, it was Shi Ran herself.

No wonder Jinchen chased her all the way to the variety show.

As he thought about it, Qiu Yaohang's gaze landed on Shi Ran's face.

However, he paused when he saw her red lips.

He remembered the sudden closing of the camera and the contents of the trending searches.

Qiu Yaohang smiled meaningfully. "Sister Shi Ran, why is your mouth so red?"

"Huh?" Shi Ran was stunned at first.

Her hand instinctively touched her lower lip, and she felt a slight sting.

Chu Jinchen's burning eyes and the warmth of their bodies when they were pressed together flashed across her mind.

"Ahem." She gave a fake cough and said in all seriousness, "A mosquito bite."

At this moment, the audience watching the live broadcast were discussing among themselves. White comments flew across the screen.

At that moment, a white horse with a special complexion effect appeared and filled the screen.

The special effects faded. A colored bullet screen was highlighted in bold and stopped in the middle.

[I'm a mosquito?]

This comment stopped for a full two minutes before disappearing, attracting everyone's attention.

[?????]

[What's going on?? There's such an awesome special effect bullet screen in the livestream?]

[I heard that only those big shots can use this special effect bullet screen. Anyway, I've never seen it before.]

[It's normal if you haven't seen it before. The big shot is so busy. How can he have time to watch variety shows and still post bullet comments?]

[No! Shouldn't that be the point???]

[Special effects + content. I have reason to suspect that this is Third Young Master!!]

[F*ck!! Does that mean Third Young Master kissed Master Ran???!!!!]

[Don't lie to me!! I'm so excited!!!]

[I don't suppose it was intentional??]

[Oh my God! I don't even want to be support this CP anymore. I didn't expect the main character to be knocking on my head.]

[Third Young Master: Although I'm gone, my heart is still there. I'm on the bullet screen.]

Shi Ran didn't know about the bullet screen situation.

She thought she made a good excuse.

Then there was a knock on the door.

Ji Wenfeng opened the door.

Shi Wenfei walked in.

"Sister." She smiled sweetly.

Shi Ran leaned back on the bed and raised her eyebrows coldly. "What's the matter?"

"I was worried about Sister. I was afraid you would be sad, so I came to visit," Shi Wenfei said with a worried expression.

"Worried about what?"

Shi Wenfei hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid that Sister will take things too hard. After all, Third Young Master's identity is special. It's normal that he didn't choose Sister."

"Compared to a top-notch wealthy family like the Chu family, we all seem very small. Moreover, I heard that Old Mr. Chu hates people of unknown origin the most."

After saying that, she seemed to have just reacted and explained in a panic, "I'm not saying that Sister's background is unknown, but Sister is an adopted daughter after all. In their eyes, you might be..."

Shi Ran quietly watched Shi Wenfei act and did not respond.

In the end, Shi Wenfei felt more and more embarrassed as she spoke. She could only smile and say, "I was mainly afraid that Sister would be sad. Now that Sister is fine, that's good."

She just wanted to come and see how sad Shi Ran was.

She did not expect this bitch to be so calm!

Qiu Yaohang crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.

Being in a big family, he had seen many hypocritical acts like Shi Wenfei.

He laughed flippantly. "Miss Shi, why did you come here on your own? Where's your boyfriend?"

"I don't have a boyfriend," Shi Wenfei said with a faint smile. "Did President Qiu remember wrongly?"

"Did I remember wrongly?" Qiu Yaohang tilted his head. "Isn't your boyfriend Zhou Yufan?"

Shi Wenfei's face instantly paled. "CEO Qiu, what are you talking about?"

"I saw the trending searches earlier and thought you two were together," Qiu Yaohang said playfully.

'Hot search?'

Shi Wenfei suddenly recalled the fifty trending searches and her expression turned even uglier.

"I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Shi Wenfei left in a panic.

Although she knew that Third Young Master could not be with Shi Ran publicly, it was not impossible to take her as a lover.

Moreover, the current her could not afford to offend Third Young Master.

Qiu Yaohang looked at Shi Wenfei's fleeing back with contempt.

He looked up at the clock and muttered, "Third Young Master should be at the Chu residence by now."

... .

Chu Family Mansion

Chu Jinchen turned off the live broadcast on his phone and calmly walked along the courtyard path of the Chu family.

Wen Yufei followed beside him unhurriedly, looking up at Chu Jinchen from time to time.

They crossed the path and the maid at the door opened the front door of the living room.

Chu Jinchen had just walked in.

"Bam—"

The white ashtray hit the ground at his feet and shattered.

"Ah!"

Wen Yufei let out a short scream of fear.

"Get in here!" Chu Qiteng supported himself with his walking stick and sat on the sofa. He glared at Chu Jinchen angrily.

However, Chu Jinchen only raised his eyebrows and played with his phone with one hand in his pocket. He teased, "Why are you still so energetic at this time?"

"You still have the cheek to ask?!" Chu Qiteng's gaze darkened and was extremely dignified. "If you didn't go on that lousy variety show, why would I have to go through so much trouble to get someone to capture you?"

"There are already rumors going around. You've been a worry-free child since you were young. Why are you getting more insensible the older you get?"

"Grandpa, you've wronged me." Chu Jinchen leaned lazily on the sofa. "Grandpa is the one who made this matter big. I won't take the blame."

"Only because you refused to quit the variety show! Tell me why you joined that show!"

"It's a variety show that KT Group invested in. I'm just there to have some fun," Chu Jinchen said casually.

"Have some fun? KT Group has invested in so many variety shows. Where can't you go elsewhere to play? You know you have a fiancée, yet you still participate in a romance program. Are you trying to anger me to death?"

Chu Jinchen narrowed his eyes as a sharp glint flashed across them.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chu Qiteng's anger dissipated a little. "Tell me, do you like that female celebrity?"

Chapter 80: Father Of The Child

Chu Jinchen took the tea from the butler and took a sip.

When he looked up, he saw that Chu Qiteng and Wen Yufei were both looking at him.

As if they were expecting his answer.

His lips curled up. "If Grandpa really has nothing to do, you can go back to KT. Those old antiques have been looking forward to your return."

"Dream on!" Chu Qiteng snorted coldly. "Think about it. You haven't been back to the company for a few days already. Are you behaving like a CEO?"

"If I have to do everything myself, KT's employees all can get lost." Chu Jinchen raised his eyebrows.

"You! You really want to anger me to death!" Chu Qi was furious.

Wen Yufei immediately went forward to calm him down. "Grandpa, don't be angry. Jinchen means that KT's employees are outstanding and can take charge."

Chu Qiteng's anger mostly dissipated. "This brat already treated you like this, yet you're still speaking up for him?"

"I'm merely telling the truth," Wen Yufei said with a coquettish smile.

Although Chu Qiteng was angry, he was very satisfied with Wen Yufei's actions of protecting Chu Jinchen.

This was the bearing that the madam of the Chu family should have.

Thinking of this, he turned to Chu Jinchen and ordered, "Cancel that variety show!"

"Contracts have been signed so canceling it means there will be a lot of penalty fees. No matter how rich the Chu family is, Grandpa shouldn't squander like this."

"You!" Chu Qi's anger rose again.

Wen Yufei had a flash of inspiration.

She sat beside Chu Qiteng. "Grandpa, don't be angry. Jinchen has always had his own considerations when doing things. You don't know how terrifying CP fans can be."

"Couple fans? What is that?"

Wen Yufei first gently explained what the CP fans meant.

Seeing that Old Master Chu understood, she said, "Because Jinchen participated in the variety show this time, he now has a lot of CP fans with that female celebrity?"

"If we let Jinchen withdraw now, it might have the opposite effect. After all, it's a variety show that KT invested in."

Chu Qiteng frowned. "So you want Jinchen to continue staying in the variety show?"

Under Old Master Chu's gaze, Wen Yufei smiled. Her smile was a little forced, as if she had no choice.

"Sure, I can let you stay!" Chu Qiteng looked at Chu Jinchen. "The premise is that Yufei must go on the show too. The two of you can participate together!"

... .

The next day, at the beach hut.

Due to the lack of a male guest, the production team urgently mobilized a backup proposal and adopted a new rule.

"Yesterday, the production team voted publicly online. As of nine o'clock this morning, Shi Ran and Zuo Yifei's CP was the most popular."

"Really?" Zuo Yifei's eyes lit up as he looked at Shi Ran excitedly. "Ranran, we are the publicly acknowledged couple!"

Director Wang nodded. "Yes, so the two of you will be bound to the live broadcast together today. The others will be live-streaming alone."

"There's a change in the live broadcast rules this time. In addition to calculating the number of viewers, there will also be a gift list."

"The gifts given by the audience will also be counted into the ranking standard. At the end of the day, the statistics of people in a two-person live-stream has to be double that of a single-person live-stream."

"Today is the last day of the recording. Those with the lowest points will be eliminated. The production team has already prepared the live broadcast room. Please begin."

[We're going to be eliminated again?? NO!!!!]

[I can finally send gifts to my children!!!]

[Baby was too useless just now.]

[The YiRan CP is where it is today because of me! My alternate accounts have contributed a dozen votes.]

[My baby must not lose!!]

[It's all because Third Young Master isn't here. Otherwise, the Godly Face CP would definitely be first.]

[If Third Young Master were here, I suspect he would have bought fake votes.]

[I miss Third Young Master so much!]

Shi Ran and Zuo Yifei arrived at their live broadcast room.

The production team was very romantic. There were all kinds of pink love balloons and colorful ribbons everywhere. There were even flowers on the walls.

Zuo Yifei pounced on the soft white sofa. "Ranran, this sofa is so soft. Come and try it."

As he spoke, he patted the spot beside him, his eyes sparkling.

Shi Ran laughed and sat on the sofa.

[The production team is really good.]

[It's set up like a proposal. I'm jealous.]

[This room is so familiar. Why does it feel like Third Young Master's room?]

[The one who said Third Young Master's room. I think so too!]

[The production team can't be that mean to change Third Young Master's room to Master Ran's live-stream with other men, right??]

[If Director Wang really dares to do that, Third Young Master might just drive a tractor and flatten this hut the next day.]

[Perhaps Director Wang also wants Third Young Master to feel a little involved.]

[Third Young Master: I'll really thank you for this sense of participation.]

"Now, I'll announce the rules of the double live broadcast room. From the moment you enter the live broadcast room, the gift list has been activated."

"In five minutes, the number one netizen on the gift list can decide your schedule for the next hour and some behavior."

"For example, you can hold hands and play games. The gift list will be tabulated every hour. All netizens who reach first place have this authority."

[This rule is good!!!]

[I want to send gifts!!! I want my children to reach the peak of their lives!!]

The gift list opened.

The netizens were in high spirits as gifts and special effects flashed across the live-stream.

There were fewer people sending bullet comments as most were sending gifts.

After four minutes, the netizens with the special effects of walking the dog firmly took first place.

[I want my children and Master Ran to walk around the supermarket hand in hand and buy underwear!!!]

[Brother, do you know how to play?]

[It's so boring to buy underwear. It's more exciting to buy some family planning supplies.]

[The one in front, do you think Big Brother doesn't want it? The show doesn't allow it to be broadcasted.]

[It's good to go to the supermarket. If we date in Third Young Master's room, Third Young Master might come back to life.]

Director Wang was waiting in front of the screen. He was smiling from ear to ear when he saw the comments and the special effects of the gifts.

As for the Third Young Master's room mentioned in the bullet screen...

He wasn't worried about that. Third Young Master was too busy to watch a live broadcast.

Ten seconds left in the clock.

[Shopping the supermarket!!! Hold hands!!!]

[Look forward to it!!!]

The netizens were in high spirits.

Five seconds to go.

Director Wang was about to get the staff to start preparing.

At this moment, a cruise ship's special effects crossed the screen.

The cruise ship also had a colorful backdrop.

For the next five seconds, the entire scene was taken up by the cruise ship. Everyone could only see the cruise ship flying back and forth.

It went on for a full minute before settling on the gift count in the bottom left corner.

Cruise x999.

[Holy shit!! 999 cruise ships???]

[One thousand each. That must be a million?!]

[Big Brother is so generous!!]

[Are they fans of the children? They're so rich? I'm so envious!!]

[Who's so awesome? 999 cruise ships at once.]

It was not just the netizens who were curious. Even Director Wang was filled with doubts.

He immediately clicked on the gift rankings, which were tabulated in real time.

He looked at the first-place nickname.

The gold lettering was capitalized and bold. It was surrounded by a rainbow of lights that reflected four words.

— Father Of The Child.
