A friend of Xu Yanfeng met an acquaintance at a hotel.
That acquaintance was none other than Xu Yanfeng's girlfriend from university, who was now a thing of the past.
The two greete...
They had lunch provided by the production crew, and in the afternoon they went on a field trip, filmed by a cameraman the entire time. Xia Xi knew the layout of the villa better than anyone else; she could walk around it with her eyes closed.
After the first day of recording ended and Xia Xi said goodbye to the staff of the program crew, she finally got some time to breathe. It felt so relaxing not to have to face the camera. She turned around suddenly and let go to settle the score with Xu Yanfeng.
"Xu Yanfeng." Xia Xi called his name seriously, "You are just fooling around."
She looked like she was teaching Ziheng a lesson. In reality, Ziheng rarely disobeyed, so Xia Xi usually didn't need to teach him a lesson. As long as she explained the reason to him, he would understand.
Xu Yanfeng laughed: "Where are you fooling around?"
Xia Xi: "How could you come to participate in the show and say in front of the camera that I am your... fiancée."
"I've explained that since Xu Corporation sponsored this program, I'm setting an example by coming here to inspect it," Xu Yanfeng said confidently. "As for me saying you're my fiancée, is there any problem with that?"
"The problem is...the problem is..."
"Well, what is it?" Xu Yanfeng asked patiently.
Xia Xi was confused by him and lost her aggressive attitude. She stared at him for a long time and said weakly, "You'd better pray that the first half of our conversation is cut short."
Xu Yanfeng said leisurely, "I am the owner of the villa and also happen to be your fiancé. It's just a coincidence. Everything is within the rules. I don't think there is anything wrong."
When it comes to sophistry, no one can beat Xu Yanfeng. Xia Xi declared him the winner: "As long as you are happy."
"Come home for dinner." Xu Yanfeng naturally put his arm around her shoulders and stroked her hair. "Don't worry, I won't appear in the next few episodes. You can continue recording as normal until the final acceptance stage, when I'll show up again."
Xia Xi couldn't laugh, and still felt that Xu Yanfeng's behavior was a bit joking: "Aren't you afraid of being talked about? You are the president of Xu Group." She poked his hard chest, "Don't you think that no audience recognized you? Putting aside other things, Xu's employees can recognize one by one." Then she discussed with the people around her. In the Internet age, word spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Nothing can be hidden.
"So what if he recognized me?" Xu Yanfeng held her fingers and said nonchalantly, "No matter who I am, first of all, I am a human being."
Xia Xi was completely convinced by him. However, she couldn't predict the effect of the show after it was broadcast, so she was inevitably a little worried.
After a moment of silence, Xia Xi spoke again, "I don't dislike the current style of the villa. There's no need to go to great lengths to renovate it. You didn't even discuss it with me before joining the show. Now, we're stuck in a dilemma. We really have to tear it down and redesign it."
Xu Yanfeng snorted lightly and said as a matter of course: "I don't want to force it. I want you to be 100% satisfied. Do you understand?"
Xia Xi: "What a waste."
Xu Yanfeng: "Don't worry, wife, I will work hard to earn money to support the family."
Xia Xi: “…”
There is nothing more to say to him. No one can defeat the shameless Xu Yanfeng.

As Xu Yanfeng had said, he didn't appear again later in the film, and the focus was on capturing the designers' work process. Each designer had a different approach and encountered various difficulties. Occasionally, everyone would gather together for meetings to discuss, give each other suggestions, and sometimes cause conflicts and heated arguments, but all for the purpose of finding a solution, and it was harmless.
It is not difficult for Xia Xi to renovate the villa because he just needs to do it according to his own preferences.
There were some interviews interspersed in between. Xia Xi was no longer as unsure as she was at the beginning. Now she could talk freely in front of the camera.
Everything went smoothly, almost unbelievably smoothly.
When the sixth episode was recorded, the first episode of the program was officially broadcast. Before it was broadcast, it had been promoted and preheated on the Internet for a while. Although the topic was not as high as that of entertainment variety shows, it was considered popular among professional programs.
There was a sound of water splashing in the bathroom. It was Xia Xi taking a shower. Her skin was red and soft from the water. She came out wrapped in a bath towel. Not seeing Xu Yanfeng in the bedroom, Xia Xi changed into pajamas and went to the living room to look for him while drying her hair.
Xu Yanfeng sat on the sofa, switching the remote control in his hand until he finally found what he wanted to watch. Commercials were playing on TV and he stared at the screen intently.
Xia Xi walked over and knelt on the sofa: "I haven't seen you watch TV much before."
Xu Yanfeng dropped the remote control, took the towel from her hand, pulled her closer, and wiped her hair: "The show you recorded will be broadcast tonight, don't you know?"
"What date is it today?" Xia Xi asked, picking up Xu Yanfeng's phone that was on the coffee table and glancing at it. She muttered, "It really is airing today."
She stood up and took the towel from Xu Yanfeng's hand: "Take your time to look at it yourself, I'll go blow dry my hair."
Xu Yanfeng was quick to grab her wrist and pull her back. Xia Xi lost her balance and one of her slippers fell off, causing her to fall onto Xu Yanfeng's lap. He took advantage of the situation and grabbed her waist, preventing her from moving.
"Sit down and watch it with me." Xu Yanfeng said, "Don't you want to know how you perform on the show?"
Xia Xi pushed his chest and said in protest: "I don't want to know."
Watching herself on TV, she felt awkward, embarrassed, and uncomfortable.
Xu Yanfeng: "But I want you to watch it with me."
Xia Xi couldn't break free and pointed at her wet long hair: "I want to blow dry my hair."
Xu Yanfeng had no choice but to let her go: "Come and accompany me when you're done."
Xia Xi hooked the slippers with her feet and put them on, then ran away. She would not stay with him.
After drying her hair in the bathroom, Xia Xi came out of the bathroom when her cell phone rang. She fiddled with her hair with her fingers and picked up the phone on the table to answer it. Before the other party opened their mouth, she guessed what the other party was going to say: "Zhao Lei, you are not going to tell me that you are pregnant?"
