  Zhang Ruomin turned and left the stage. Her video journalist very politely said goodbye to Lin Nuan, the director, Fu Huai’an, and Miss Xia before leaving too.

  Peng Yanzhi had wanted to chase after Zhang Ruomin but was afraid the cat would be let out of the bag, so she could only stand there with her fingers clenched, like a helpless little sheep, having none of the arrogance she had displayed in front of Lin Nuan earlier.

  Miss Xia wasn’t prepared for this sudden change of guest, but thankfully, as a married couple, there was a chemistry between Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan, so Miss Xia felt that they might be able to pull it off by cramming.

  Miss Xia gazed at Lin Nuan. “I’m preparing the script now, just give me half an hour. Based on the chemistry between the two of you, can you get ready within that time?”


  “Miss Xia, don’t worry!” Fu Huai’an smiled.

  As she listened to Fu Huai’an and Miss Xia’s dialogue, Lin Nuan felt herself getting nervous.

  Get ready in half an hour?

  If the guest was someone else, not to mention half an hour, even if it was just 10 minutes, Lin Nuan could nod with confidence. However, since the guest was Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan felt nervous for some reason.

  Never mind Miss Xia, right now, the entire crew was feeling excited…


  Netizens had long been asking to see Fu Huai’an go on Lin Nuan’s show as a guest. Although none of the crew said it out loud, they also really wanted to see this!

  The director apologized to the audience, then hurriedly got the crew to prepare things, hoping to do this as perfectly as possible.

  “Miss Xia…” Peng Yanzhi gazed at Miss Xia.

  She had no idea what Peng Yanzhi wanted to say, but the minute Miss Xia heard Peng Yanzhi’s voice, she turned her head and said, “Get your manager to take you back! In the future, so long as it’s a show I’m in charge of planning, you won’t get a chance to go on it!”


  To be told that by Miss Xia in front of everyone, Peng Yanzhi’s looked especially embarrassed. Her tears fell down her face continuously as she gazed at Lin Nuan. Peng Yanzhi bowed to her again. “Sorry, Sister Nuan, it was all my bad… My tone of voice wasn’t so good at the start, but I didn’t have any other intentions! I hope you won’t mind!”


  Peng Yanzhi then apologized to Miss Xia. “Sorry, Miss Xia…”


  “Don’t! I’m unable to take your apology!” Miss Xia turned around to look away from Peng Yanzhi as she apologized to her.

  The mic was still on, and the audience downstage could hear everything they were talking about.

  A small portion of Peng Yanzhi’s fans had quieted down already, but some hardcore fans were still fuming mad upon seeing Peng Yanzhi’s apology being met by Miss Xia’s retort in such a straightforward manner.

  “What else do you want? Our Little Rouge has already apologized! So what if you’re a famous producer! If you’re not inviting her onto your shows, so be it! Do you think your shows are the only popular ones in the entire world?”


  “What famous producer! You’re just arguing a point to death! From how I see it, your shows won’t get popular in the future anyway! Not missing out on anything!”


  Miss Xia flared up upon hearing this. She turned her head towards Peng Yanzhi’s fans. “Is it a must for me to accept her apology? Who is she? Is her face so big! Is this moral coercion? Can a murderer escape the death penalty after simply saying sorry? Are the victims’ kin arguing a point to death by not accepting the murderer’s apology and forgiving him? A brain is a wonderful thing… I hope you guys have it!”


  Miss Xia didn’t bother being polite after she was done ranting. “Take your fans away!”


  Peng Yanzhi nodded, her incredibly aggrieved manner making her look so pitiful that one’s heart ached while looking at her. She then turned her head and bowed to her fans in apology.

  Peng Yanzhi didn’t care at all about not being able to go on Miss Xia’s shows in the future!

  She had Zhang Ruomin… and they were deeply in love. She had accompanied Zhang Ruomin as the latter went through the lowest phase in her life, and since Zhang Ruomin had returned to showbiz, she would surely give her a hand.

  Peng Yanzhi only wanted to take care of her fans’ emotions, as she had always known that fans were the basis of her success.

  Peng Yanzhi’s manager nearly fainted when he heard the news. Out of all people, Peng Yanzhi had to offend Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan. Fu Huai’an was the chairman of the Kaide Corporation now!

  If Peng Yanzhi really angered Lin Nuan, it was as easy as trampling on an ant for Fu Huai’an to fix her! He had gone to great lengths to help this young lady, even begging for help before Miss Xia finally agreed to have her on the show! Was this how the young lady repaid him?

  Peng Yanzhi’s manager feared that he would be implicated, so he hurriedly called Miss Xia to explain, promising never to help Peng Yanzhi and apologizing to Miss Xia for having caused her trouble. He was making his stance clear by saying that he would have nothing to do with Peng Yanzhi in the future, only hoping that the other celebrities under his management wouldn’t be implicated.

  Because time was tight, after Miss Xia was done with the script, there was no time left for Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an to go through the questions beforehand.

  Lin Nuan felt even more nervous.

  Mu Taotao came up with the makeup kit to help Lin Nuan freshen up her makeup. From her peripheral vision, Lin Nuan could see the puppy guy helping Fu Huai’an put on a mic. Lin Nuan’s gaze was attracted to Fu Huai’an, unable to look away.

  Under the stage lighting, Fu Huai’an’s eyes appeared even more deep-set. His facial features looked tough, and his entire being exuded a masculine charm, unlike the fair pretty boys that were in fashion right now.

  He was in his thirties, had a successful career, and was always smartly dressed in a suit. There were plenty of men who looked mature and steady, but there were very few like Fu Huai’an who possessed all of the mentioned qualities and were also handsome and exuded a masculine aura.

  He stood before the sofa, looking tall and broad. After the puppy guy helped him put on the mic, he fixed his collar with his slim and long fingers and buttoned his suit at the waist. His suit trousers were ironed, making his legs appear all the longer. Especially when one compared him with the puppy guy standing next to him, there was a strong attack on one’s visuals, making one’s heart thump wildly. Every gesture he made exuded a mature and imposing aura.

  Downstage, Lin Nuan’s fans seemed to have betrayed their idol as their gazes focused on Fu Huai’an. The guys were talking about how charismatic Fu Huai’an looked in person, whereas the girls were speaking among themselves in hushed whispers about how wildly their hearts were thumping…


  They weren’t the only ones. Lin Nuan’s heart was thumping wildly as well. Apart from nervousness, there was also a bewitched component that led to this rise in heart rate.

  Fu Huai’an seemed to have sensed it too, leading him to look in Lin Nuan’s direction.

  When their gazes met, there was a smile in his black and deep-set eyes. He leisurely sat down on the sofa, then crossed his legs in a relaxed manner, sitting close to the single-seater sofa that Lin Nuan sat in while hosting.

  After Mu Taotao was done with the makeup, she said to Lin Nuan, “Because you’re doing the show with Mr. Fu, I helped you apply pink lipstick and blush. This way, you’ll have the shy and bashful look of a teenage girl!”


  Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

  With a thin layer of sweat on her palms, Lin Nuan sat down in her seat as the show host. Miss Xia already had someone bring Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an the program schedule and rough content.

  Lin Nuan took the information papers and glanced at them, her face turning red in an instant. “Miss Xia, what questions are these!”


  Miss Xia, who was standing next to Cameraman #1, smiled at Lin Nuan, not at all looking like she had any intention of changing the questions. She shrugged and walked to the director, then said to Lin Nuan using the director’s mic, “These are all questions netizens are curious about. I’m merely conveying their wishes!”
