NovelEnglishThe next morning, Ji Qingqing received a call from Qin Yue, telling her to pack up and get ready as he’ll be fetching her in the afternoon.
During the whole time, Ji Qingqing gloomily packed her luggage. Then she told Old Lu and Aunt Pei that she had to participate in a variety program and it would probably last for three-five days or more.
Old Lu didn’t probe further; he only told her to pay attention to her safety.
Even so, Old Lu’s doting gaze still pierced Ji Qingqing and made her feel endlessly guilty.
At 3 pm, Qin Yue came over to fetch her. Ji Qingqing sat inside the car and looked at the Lu family villa main entrance. She had a strong urge to tell Old Lu everything.
Throughout the ride, Ji Qingqing was a little low-spirited. Usually, she would jokingly tease others a couple of times, but today, she just sat in the backseat and remained silent.
Qin Yue glanced at Wen Rou and Wen Rou took the hint. She gently asked, “Sister Qingqing, what’s wrong?”
Ji Qingqing looked at her. Feeling down, she sighed. “It’s nothing.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGiven that Lu Lixing didn’t mind it, and that Old Lu also wouldn’t misunderstand her, to her, this program would be the key to reversing the situation. When the time comes, it would air together with her drama and her popularity would surge to new heights.
Regardless of how you see it, her participation in this variety program had hundred of merits and zero demerits.
But!
Why is she this angry?
Wen Rou wanted to speak further, but upon seeing the blanket that was crushed into a ball in Ji Qingqing’s hand, she swallowed back her words.
On the other hand, Qin Yue coughed. “Qingqing, I’ve already shown you the program’s plan so I’m sure you understand what’s happening. Later we’ll be heading to the filming area. This is the information for the celebrity couples. Go have a look.”
Ji Qingqing took a deep breath. She forced herself to pull herself back together and took the information that Qin Yue passed over to her.
Since she already agreed to participate in this variety program, then she couldn’t continue falling further into this slump.
Some of the celebrity pairs in the list were rather interesting and Ji Qingqing happened to know a few of them.
One of them was Lu Yao, a new popular star who filmed a chocolate with her. The other was the top head of her entertainment company, Chen Shuyi.
Ji Qingqing was slightly astonished. “President Chen is also participating?”
Qin Yue smiled. “In the past, President Chen’s wife was also from the entertainment industry, but later on she retired from it. Director Wang went to find her and she agreed. Since his wife is attending this program, it’s impossible for President Chen to not participate in it.”
Ji Qingqing paused briefly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Other people’s wives were attending the program, and the husband who was the entertainment company boss was also coming, anxiously following her over. Everyone else was fake dating while the two of them were real lovebirds and would be publicly displaying affection under the camera. She didn’t know why, but Ji Qingqing felt a sense of bleakness.
“Then… who is President Chen’s wife?”
“That Miss Lin is President Chen’s wife.”
“Miss Lin… ” Ji Qingqing went down the guestlist and spotted Lin Zhen’s name. “Lin Zhen?”
“Correct, she’s Miss Lin. Although Miss Lin has some misunderstandings of you, you don’t have to worry. Later she’ll understand everything.”

Qin Yue smiled but didn’t continue.
Ji Qingqing continued to study the guestlist. The dramas the guests had acted in before, she had to remember it all. Or else, later when there’s small talk, and she doesn’t know a single thing about them—that would be really awkward.
Additionally, there’s another couple that looks rather interesting. They were the second male lead and the female lead from a recent hot ancient Chinese drama. In the drama, the two of them experienced all sorts of tragic romance scenarios, making both the fans and audience lament incessantly.
Ji Qingqing counted the number of guests on the list. “Where’s mine?”
Qin Yue glanced at her.
“Who’s the male celebrity I’m paired up with?”
Qin Yue smiled mysteriously. “I won’t give you the spoilers. Later when we reach the filming site you’ll find out.”
Ji Qingqing looked at the way Qin Yue was acting and felt that her assigned partner shouldn’t be that bad; just that she doesn’t know who it’ll be.
