It must be said that this count knew very well how to use his good looks as an advantage.

His caramel-colored eyes were glistening with tears, and his long, wavy brown hair fell to the corners of his mouth, softening his slightly aggressive features.

If Ji Qian hadn't witnessed the other party's destructive power firsthand, she might have actually been fooled by the other party's weak and helpless appearance.

However, Earl Lanruer's target was clearly not Ji Qian.

When he looked up, his eyes darted around for a moment before settling firmly on Han Mengyao's face.

Ji Qian felt disgusted by his feigned pitiful look and was about to step forward to block Han Mengyao when she unexpectedly heard Han Mengyao's coquettish voice accusing her:

"Qianqian, you're too rough! Look what you've done to the Earl!"

Hearing Han Mengyao's voice suddenly, Ji Qian was momentarily stunned. When she came to her senses, she saw that Han Mengyao had already squatted down in front of Earl Lanruer, asking him about his well-being.

Ji Qian has known Han Mengyao for almost three years, but apart from filming, Ji Qian has never seen her so tender and affectionate.

She couldn't help but feel physically nauseous.

[Han Mengyao...is she possessed?]

I don't care who you are, get off my Yao Yao right now!

[Those in front must be new fans, this is Yao Yao's original setup!]

[Waaaaah, I haven't been able to do this since Yao Yao transitioned into a serious actress.]

[A once-in-a-lifetime experience! I never thought I'd have the chance to see the Yao people again after all these years.]

Although Yao Yao is cute no matter what, sweet girls really do need to have a capricious voice!

Although Ji Qian couldn't accept this, Earl Lanruer was clearly very receptive to it, and soon he had emptied his pockets of all his wealth.

To Ji Qian's utter surprise, Count Lanruer was indeed killed by a chandelier while he was painting the portrait, just as he had said!

"Wait a minute, but the internet clearly says you were injured while hunting, which led to an infection and ultimately your death! You're not lying to Sister Meng, are you?"

Faced with Ying Xu's questioning, Count Lanruer expressed his anger:

"How could I possibly lie to Miss Han? That was just a fabricated cause of death by my foolish wife!"

When his wife was mentioned, Count Lanruer's attitude became noticeably colder:

"That woman is very concerned about her image. She probably felt that the way I died was embarrassing for her."

"Is the Earl and his wife not getting along?" A sweet female voice rang out, and Wang Yingying, who had been silent all along, suddenly poked her head out from behind.

Although he already has Han Mengyao, Earl Lanruer is always very easy to talk to, especially when it comes to such a lovely woman.

"Our relationship is as stable as that of most aristocratic couples."

"It means a purely self-interested relationship, with no feelings involved and no possibility of divorce."

Count Lanruer was somewhat uncomfortable with Miyesi's blunt explanation. He frowned and mentally drew a big X on Miyesi's name.

Although Count Lanruer recounted many things, most of them were his own life experiences and had nothing to do with the attack just now.

Ji Qian listened patiently to his story, but still did not get the answer she wanted.

So, after getting Han Mengyao's permission, Ji Qian raised her leg and kicked Earl Lanruer in the back of the head again.

Count Lanruer was caught off guard and kicked into the air, tracing a perfect parabola before landing squarely on the unfortunate assistant director.

The assistant director, who was just regaining consciousness, was knocked unconscious again by the blow.

After contacting Director Liu to rush the assistant director to the hospital, Ji Qian used the remaining red rope to tie up Count Lanruer.

Count Lanruer was very unhappy with the way the dog was tied up, but unfortunately no one present was willing to speak up for him.

Han Mengyao did say a few words in her defense, but she fell silent after receiving a stern rebuke from Ji Qian.

The two worked together seamlessly. Count Lanruer not only didn't notice anything amiss, but even leaned close to Han Mengyao and whispered a few words of comfort.

The affectedly gentle British accent sent chills down Ji Qian's spine, and she quickened her pace toward the restaurant.

Apart from Ji Qian, who had meals provided by the production team, everyone else had to find their own lunch.

To the surprise of the production team, more than half of the six guests could not cook.

Ji Qian relies almost entirely on convenience stores and food delivery for her daily meals. However, after her previous disastrous experience at a convenience store, food delivery is now her only means of survival.

Although Han Mengyao seems reliable, she actually knows nothing about cooking. Last week, she almost burned down her own kitchen while cooking noodles at home, and it was Ji Qian who ran to put out the fire.

Mi Yesi is slightly better than Han Mengyao; she can cook instant noodles, but that's about it.

Wang Yingying had posted many cooking videos online, so the production team had high expectations for her. However, after asking her, they discovered that she only knew how to make desserts and knew nothing about ordinary stir-fries.

Ying Xu can cook, but his taste is so-so, and it's really inhumane for him to be in charge of feeding five people all by himself.

So everyone turned their hopeful gaze to the last contestant to appear.

Xu Qi did not disappoint them, getting straight to the point: "I'm a pretty good cook."

While gnawing on the lamb leg in her hand, Ji Qian affirmed Xu Qi's words: "Indeed, he is a good cook."

[You two are getting a little flirtatious.]

I'm totally shipping them!

They started it, I didn't initiate the fight!

[The robot couple is locked in!]

[Help! Childhood sweethearts are just too sweet!]
