Chapter 84

Everyone slept late that day, each lost in their own dreams.

The next morning, before the guests even got out of bed, early-rising viewers were already making guesses online.

[Come on, let's have a guessing game! Who will be the first to make a move today? I'm betting on Chu Ge, go for the straight-up hot girl!]

I'm not so sure. Cheng Fubai seems rather cunning (and treacherous); he acted very quickly before.

[I'm betting my dog ​​on Jin Xiao! Isn't a younger man more appealing?]

Why isn't anyone guessing Xu Shishi? Am I going to have to carry the torch for this "past life CP"? Well then, I won't hold back!

Before the live broadcast even started, the show had already trended on social media due to the discussions and arguments among the CP (couple) fans. Now, everyone, whether they watched the show or not, knew that the guests were going on a date today.

Meanwhile, in the Heartbeat House, at the center of the storm of discussion, Qin Su lazily walked out of the room.

Everyone usually gets up very early, but today, while the others were still hungover, she was the first to step into the living room.

Qin Su walked into the kitchen area according to her usual routine, intending to boil some water for herself. When she picked up the kettle, she found that it was warm to the touch, indicating that someone had prepared hot water for her beforehand.

She then noticed an envelope next to the kettle, with "to Su Su" written on the cover.

The show's cameras gave the envelope a close-up at the right time, magnifying the words on it to create suspense in the later editing, and to keep the audience on the edge of their seats by having them guess in the celebrity observation room.

Qin Su slowly drank half a glass of water, opened the envelope, and took out an invitation letter issued by the production team. The invitation letter indicated the time and place of the date that night, but it was not signed, which was also a deliberate setting by the production team.

Seeing that Qin Su didn't show the apprehension and confusion she had expected, the staff member next to her couldn't help but whisper, "Su Su, aren't you curious about who invited you first?"

She was on duty today, but she was quite surprised to see who had come to the kitchen to put the envelope there, even though she was behind the security camera.

The first person to bravely send out an invitation was someone who surprised many people; she dares to guarantee that most netizens guessed wrong.

Qin Su looked up at her: "If I'm curious, will you tell me?"

The staff member met her clear, bright eyes and felt a jolt in his heart. He almost blurted out her name, but the warning of a potential pay cut brought him back to his senses, and he immediately changed his words, saying, "I... I can't say."

"It's alright." Qin Su smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping over the spacious and bright kitchen. "I already know who it is."

The staff were taken aback and quickly looked around the kitchen, but couldn't find any clues.

"Impossible, right?" She was initially bewildered, then became somewhat wary. "Are you trying to blow me up? To trick me into revealing my name?"

Qin Su smiled without saying a word, calmly finished her water, and went back upstairs to her bedroom.

Seeing her so confident attitude, the staff began to doubt themselves. They nervously checked the kitchen appliances and muttered, "Could he have left some kind of hint? This is unacceptable. We'll have to remind the guests later."

***

The invitation stated the time as 6 PM tonight and the address as XX Road, XX City Center. A local staff member scratched his head and said, "This location sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before?"

When everyone arrived at the meeting place in the evening, they realized why the name sounded familiar: it was a restaurant that had made headlines for its ambiance and layout.

In the heart of the city where land is incredibly valuable, this restaurant has created a garden. When the staff at the entrance pushed open the rustic gate, they were greeted by a beautiful view of winding paths leading inside. The staff exclaimed "Wow!" and looked at Qin Su.

Qin Su looked at the waiter, who bowed slightly to her: "Miss Qin, the VIP has already made a reservation. Please follow me."

Qin Su nodded, and under her guidance, led the group into the quiet and winding corridor.

Along the way, all that could be seen were lush flowers and trees, shady bamboo groves, and pavilions and towers reflected in the emerald lake. The winding corridors offered a new view with each turn, prompting the crew members to exclaim in admiration at the grand scale of the project.

Inside the observation room, host Zhang Wenyan clapped his hands and laughed, "I guessed who it was."

Tan Ling added, "I had a guess too."

Who is it?

At this point, everyone already had a vague idea of ​​the answer.

Although the guests participating in the show are all well-off, only Ye Yan and Gu Chiyan have the financial means to arrange to stay at this restaurant and the ability to get the production crew to film there.

The former is a somewhat mysterious but extravagantly dressed and low-key tycoon, while the latter is a well-known second-generation rich kid from a wealthy family.

Sure enough, the waiter who had led the way stopped outside an elegant and refined private room, gently pushed open the bamboo door, and bowed slightly to Qin Su: "Miss Qin, this is the place."

Inside the door and by the window, Gu Chiyan turned around upon hearing the sound. Against the backdrop of the lush bamboo forest outside, he smiled at Qin Su, his eyes bright and affectionate, and said gently, "Su Su."
