"It's okay, don't be scared." Mu Tiantian smiled and hugged Xu Ke.

System: [Xu Ke is an orange cat.]

Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian hugged him for a while longer.

This company really has a lot of weirdos.

Xu Ke excitedly hugged Mu Tiantian back.

My idol smells so good, I want to hug him a little longer.

However, the next moment, Hua Qi grabbed her by the collar again.

Because of the significant height difference, Xu Ke had to look up at him, her round little face puffed up with anger, a stark contrast to her attitude towards Mu Tiantian.

"Sister Na, Tian Tian, ​​we're leaving now." Hua Qi said, pulling Xu Ke towards the company.

Xu Ke struggled to shout at Mu Tiantian, "My name is Xu Ke, I'm 19 years old, 162cm tall, weigh 41kg, and am currently unmarried and single... mmm..."

Hua Qi felt embarrassed by her, so he covered her mouth and quickly ran into the elevator.

Mu Tiantian: "......" This feels like a blind date.

She tilted her head and asked Hu Na, "Does she like women?"

"Maybe... I got too excited to see you. Your sexual orientation should be normal."

Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go eat."

The three headed towards the parking space.

System: [You're being followed and photographed by paparazzi, right across the street.]

Mu Tiantian complained: "[Taking pictures of me secretly? I'm a washed-up singer, hardly anyone even remembers me anymore, and someone still wants to take pictures of me secretly? They must have a lot of free time. You keep an eye on him for me, and you also keep an eye on Yu Xuerong. Come to think of it, she's probably the only one with that much free time.]"

System: [Okay, I'll go keep an eye on it for you.]

...

now.

On the other side, Ji Mingliu was extremely anxious while waiting for Mu Tiantian's call.

I check my phone three times while eating a bite of food.

Qian Xu couldn't help but complain, "Ji Mingliu, I can tell you're not hungry. Just eat your phone instead of eating a meal."

"Who says I'm not hungry?" Ji Mingliu put down his phone, glanced at it, and then continued eating.

"Why didn't you just ask for their phone number? Why did you have to wait here like this?" Qian Xu shook his head helplessly. "I've seen cowards, but I've never seen one as cowardly as you."

"Who said I was waiting for her call?" Ji Mingliu stubbornly slammed his phone down on the table and started eating.

Qian Xu nodded, "Fine, then try not to look at your phone. Since you're not willing to tell me what's going on with that 'master,' don't come looking for me if something goes wrong."

"Something happened? What could happen to my master?" Ji Mingliu became anxious upon hearing that Mu Tiantian might be in trouble.

Qian Xu put down his chopsticks and tapped his fingers on the table.

Ji Mingliu pursed his lips; it seemed he had spoken too quickly again.

"I didn't know what would happen either." He was just trying to get information out of him. "But now I know, so she's your owner. I remember now, you were lost for two years before, and she took care of you?"

Ji Mingliu: "..."

Qian Xu continued, "Then one day you were suddenly sent back to the Ji family. Was it she who sent you back?"

Ji Mingliu recalled the scene two years ago when Mu Tiantian handed him over to a man.

Thinking back to what she said...

"There's no use for this dog if I keep it, I might as well sell it, at least I can get some money."

The man noticed that the Alaskan Malamute was well-cared for, with soft fur, clearly indicating that it was fed and cared for regularly.

And the dog seemed unwilling to leave her, clinging to her leg and refusing to let go.

The man asked, puzzled, "You see, it doesn't want to come with me. I see you're taking good care of it, so why are you selling it?"

"If it's useless, I'll just sell it. I don't want it anymore. If you don't buy it, I'll sell it to someone else."

"I'll buy it, I'll buy it."

Finally, she mercilessly pried his hands off her and sold them to that man.

"Send my ass!" Ji Mingliu ate his food in large mouthfuls, feeling extremely angry, as if he were venting his frustration.

System: [Ji Mingliu's hatred value increased by 5, currently at 60.]

Mu Tiantian: [...]

Seeing that Ji Mingliu was in a bad mood, Qian Xu didn't say anything more but reminded him, "You still have to record music with Hua Qi this afternoon. Leave after you finish eating, don't be late."

Ji Ming scoffed, "How fast can someone with such short legs walk?"

His feud with Hua Qi has been going on for a long time. This time, he invited Hua Qi to compose the opening theme song for the movie, and they sang it together.

To be honest, it's good enough that these two didn't fight.

Qian Xu didn't know why Ji Mingliu just couldn't stand Hua Qi back then, and they would argue whenever they met.

However, a thought suddenly occurred to him: Hua Qi and Mu Tiantian had been involved in a scandal.

He could tell that Ji Mingliu both loved and hated his master.

Qian Xudao asked, "Your phone rang. Is it her calling you?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingliu quickly turned on his phone, only to find nothing but some work-related messages.

Qian Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw his joyful expression instantly vanish.

With such a spineless attitude, yet still so stubborn.

He cared about it so much, yet he blatantly lied through his teeth.

Ji Mingliu pouted, looking a little grumpy, and ignored him.

Qian Xu stopped teasing him.

When they arrived at the recording site in the afternoon, Ji Mingliu and Hua Qi, as usual, started by exchanging a few words.

Hua Qi joked, "Oh, our company's silly dog ​​is here."

Ji Mingliu snorted coldly, "Short legs."

Hua Qi said, "You're tone-deaf, we should find you a mouth double."

Ji Mingliu: "Your legs are so short, we should get you a wheelchair, so you don't fall down every few steps."

"Ji Mingliu, besides saying I have short legs, what else can you say?"

"What I say is none of your business, I'm just stating the facts." Ji Mingliu smiled happily when he saw that Hua Qi's expression had turned sour.

Hua Qi rolled his eyes at him, "Stupid dog."

Staff member: "......"

"Qi-ge's legs aren't short either."

"Maybe... it's because Mingliu thinks Qi's legs aren't as long as his, so he said his legs are short?"

"That's possible, but saying Qi-ge has short legs makes us all wonder how we're supposed to survive..."

The recording session was a little difficult, but it was finally completed in the end.

Afterwards, Hua Qi and Ji Mingliu snorted at each other and walked off in opposite directions.

However, Ji Mingliu didn't get on the car. Instead, he ran to a secluded corner, changed his form, and became an Alaskan Malamute.

He was about to run when Qian Xu grabbed him by the back of the neck, glaring at him, "Are you crazy? It's strictly forbidden to show your face in public places, what are you trying to do?"

"I checked, there are no cameras, I can't find anything, I'm not going home tonight." Ji Mingliu had just finished speaking when a person suddenly appeared around the corner.

"Brother Xu, is this your dog?" An employee happened to see Qian Xu standing with a large Alaskan Malamute.

Qian Xu smiled and said, "Yes."

"Wow, it's so beautiful. I think I just heard Mingliu's voice. Isn't he with you?" He heard two people talking and came over to check, but he didn't expect to find only Qian Xu and a dog.

Qian Xudao said, "He just left."

Taking advantage of Qian Xu's conversation with others, Ji Mingliu ran away in a flash.

"Brother Xu, your dog..."

"Ignore him, it's best if he dies outside."

"......"

...

Mu Tiantian saved the recorded video.

System: [Aren't you going to expose this?]

She went to the address given by Qi Tong and recorded the transaction between the person who was following and secretly filming her and the person who bought her dirt.

Mu Tiantian: [Didn't you say Yu Xuerong does a lot of things like secretly filming others and buying smear articles? Once I gather more evidence, when she exposes me, I'll expose her too, and we can even get some more attention—a win-win situation.]

System: [Indeed.]

System: [Ji Mingliu's hatred value increased by 5, currently at 65.]

Mu Tiantian: [...So unstable.]

Before she even reached the bottom of the stairs, a white shadow suddenly appeared in front of her and pounced on her in a flash.
