Chapter 76 The Challenge Arrives: Lan Yan is Unwilling to Give Up, and the Couple's Tacit Understanding
"Director Zhuo, I need to go to the restroom."
Xu Lanyan made an excuse, returned to her hotel room, and dialed a number.
"The news that Song Ying secretly got married is trending on social media."
"Mr. Xu, that article has already gone viral and is trending at number one!"
"..." Xu Lanyan choked for a moment: "Then be careful and let this go on for a while. When the time is right, expose the identity of Qin Shu, the Crown Prince of Qin in the capital."
"Mr. Xu?! This...this isn't appropriate, is it?" The voice on the other end trembled slightly. "What if the Qin family finds out..."
"With me backing you up, what are you afraid of? Besides, can't you just keep it a secret from them?"
"this……"
The Qin family has extensive connections in the capital. If an investigation were to be conducted, what would be unknown to the Qin family?
But since they were under someone else's roof, they had to obey orders, after all, the Qin family wasn't the one paying their salaries.
"Yes, Mr. Xu, please rest assured, once the hype surrounding the secret marriage has died down, we will expose Prince Qin's identity."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lanyan looked up and stared intently at herself in the mirror.
Her slender fingers traced a path down from her eyebrows to her eyes.
Fair skin.
Exquisite facial features.
They also have a clever and sharp mind.
Even their respective achievements today.
In what ways is she inferior to Song Ying?
But why does Qin Shu never seem to notice her, and why does Old Master Qin always look down on her?
Even Zhao Qingluo and those idiot netizens online think Song Ying is better than her!
From childhood to adulthood, she had the best grades, the best performance, and the fastest learning of new things. So why does everyone only emphasize the Xu family's nouveau riche background? Why does everyone think that the Xu family is inferior?
They felt that Xu Lanyan was inferior to them!
Not allowed.
Xu Lanyan clenched her fist and slammed it hard against the bathroom mirror.
Clang—
The thin lens shattered instantly, and the dignified face reflected in the mirror disappeared into the light and shadow reflected in the mirror the moment it broke into pieces.
Xu Lanyan accidentally cut her hand, and blood seeped out.
He raised his hand to his lips and licked away the bloodstains with his tongue.
She stared intently at the shattered hole in front of the dressing table.
His eyes were deep and unfathomable, like an abyss.
Not allowed.
Absolutely not!
She can do without Qin Shu, but she must win this contest!
He defeated Song Ying, and even more so, he defeated Qin Shu!
The bloodstains on my hands slowly congealed into stains.
Xu Lanyan picked up her phone and dialed a second number.
"Jian Yunlan, you've received so much kindness from the Xu family over the years, it's time for you to be grateful."
-
While Xu Lanyan went upstairs, the other staff members were seizing the opportunity to interview Song Ying and Qin Shu about their marital situation.
And the interviewer turned out to be an old acquaintance from "Detective Love".
Little circle.
"Teacher Song, we meet again!" Xiao Yuan waved excitedly to Song Ying.
"Hello."
"Professor Song, time is short, so I'll get straight to the point! I've compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions from netizens, and here are a few I'd like to ask you."
Xiao Yuan looked at the cue card in her hand. "First question: How long have you and Mr. Qin been married?"
Song Ying thought for a moment, "We got our marriage certificate on September 9th last year, which is exactly ten months ago now."
Qin Shu, who was standing next to him, added and corrected: "To be precise, it is ten months and five days."
Song Ying: "..."
"Mr. Qin remembers very accurately!" Xiao Yuan was pleasantly surprised, and then she remembered the last interview.
"I remember when we were chatting before, I asked how long you two had been dating, and I think Mr. Qin was right, he specified the exact number of days, right? It shows how meticulous Mr. Qin is! So, let's ask Mr. Qin the second question—Ms. Song, which girlfriend are you?"
“The first, and the only one.” After saying that, Qin Shu added, “My wife too.”
Where is Miss Song?
"We were each other's first love."
"Besides a formally established relationship, have you ever had any ambiguous relationships with other people in the past?"
Song Ying and Qin Shu: "No."
in unison.
"Then let me ask Mr. Qin a few more related questions? Before and after the announcement of the marriage, how did your feelings change? Were you very excited? Or did you feel that this matter affected your normal life?"
"The only thing that can affect me is whether my wife is doing well or not. As for changes in my mood... do I feel like I finally have a legitimate status, or even like I'm still dreaming?"
As he spoke, Qin Shu stretched his arm out in front of Song Ying, "Pinch me, let me see if it hurts."
Song Ying slapped him lightly, annoyed. "Aren't you stupid...?"
But after the shoot, she gently massaged Qin Shu's skin.
Their eyes met; the fox lured the sparrow.
Words fail me, but all my thoughts are contained within my heart.
"One last question—have you two had a wedding ceremony? When was it held? When do you plan to have children?"
"The wedding hasn't been held yet; it's currently scheduled for the end of the year. We'll share any good news with everyone then. As for children... it's still a bit early."
"Not early, not early at all!"
Zhao Qingluo, who had been watching the melon seeds with a smug look on her face, couldn't help but interject, "Sister Ying, can your baby call me godmother from now on?"
As soon as Xu Lanyan stepped out of the elevator, she heard Song Ying and Zhao Qingluo talking about having a baby and wanting to become godparents.
Thinking of the grievances and disrespect she had suffered, Xu Lanyan subconsciously felt disgusted by the peaceful and expectant conversation between the two.
"They're already making empty promises about something that's barely even started?"
"None of your business! I'm not going to be your son's godmother!"
"You want to be one? I wouldn't even look at you!" Xu Lanyan scoffed. "I'm not like some people who are indiscriminate and treat illiterate people like treasures."
"Who are you calling illiterate!" Zhao Qingluo stood up angrily.
"I didn't say anything about you, why are you getting so worked up?"
Xu Lanyan glanced at Zhao Qingluo and walked up to Director Zhuo.
"Director, may we begin today's event?"
Director Zhuo glanced at Xu Lanyan. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but after facing Song Ying, Xu Lanyan's competitive spirit seemed to be suddenly ignited, and she acted much more impulsively than usual.
But Zhuo Rui still cherished his relationship with Xu Lanyan and gave her a way out.
“That’s right, I think the interviews are almost over, so let’s get back to today’s main task.”
"Yesterday we said that the group with the most votes in the photo contest will receive a mystery gift today."
"But as you all just saw, some unusual things happened during the voting process. Therefore, in order to be fair, this vote is invalid. Does anyone have any questions?"
"I don't."
Xu Lanyan was the first to express her opinion.
After being tricked by Wen Yize yesterday, she didn't even have the right to participate, and she felt it was unfair. Now that their data is invalidated, isn't this perfect?
Seeing this, Wen Yize also raised his hand.
Zhao Qinglu glared at Xu Lanyan angrily, about to declare that she didn't care, but then she thought of Gu Junting, turned her head and whispered.
"Um, Mr. Gu, do you... want a ticket?"
Fearing that Zhao Qingluo might feel pressured, Gu Junting patted her head.
"Don't worry about me, just do what you want."
These words gave Zhao Qingluo immense comfort, and she immediately felt confident, hands on her hips and head held high:
"We don't care!"
Song Ying and Qin Shu naturally didn't care.
Director Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and began to outline today's schedule.
"Yesterday was the first day, so we had a group activity to help everyone get familiar with the environment. But starting today, we will have individual activities for each group of guests."
"Today's task requires each group of guests to complete a date individually. All expenses during the date are not to be paid by the guests themselves, nor will the production team provide them. The guests will need to earn the money themselves, and the funds used for the date must be no less than £300."
"By 8 PM tonight, the group with the highest total viewership in the live stream among the eligible groups will receive a joint endorsement deal for a product with extremely high national recognition!"
"It's an endorsement!"
Zhao Qingluo's eyes lit up as she looked at Gu Junting, "Brother Gu, I will definitely try my best not to hold you back!"
Although Gu Junting is already a three-time Golden Horse Award winner, who would complain about having too many endorsements? Especially since they are for products with extremely high national recognition.
So they were also a little eager to try it out.
Xu Lanyan's competitive spirit was also ignited.
After everything that has happened, she is now determined to slap Song Ying in the face.
He also told Qin Shu that not choosing him would be the biggest regret of his life!
"Alright, the tasks have been assigned. Each group can now begin their free time!"
Today's mission is highly mobile, so in order to gain the upper hand, Xu Lanyan and Wen Yize set off as soon as they received the mission.
Zhao Qingluo and Gu Junting also prepared to leave.
However, driven by curiosity, Zhao Qingluo couldn't help but approach the director to inquire.
"Director, what was the prize for yesterday's vote?"
"Nothing else, just a £200 dating allowance."
Zhao Qingluo: "...?!"
£200!
Does that mean that if they hadn't cancelled it, they would only need to earn another 100 pounds today?!
Zhao Qingluo's heart was bleeding.
Just then, a warm, large hand gently patted her head.
"Don't overthink it. Ill-gotten gains are never safe to be used. Come with me, I won't let you go hungry."
Upon hearing Gu Junting's words, Zhao Qingluo instantly felt revitalized, as if her wounded heart had been bandaged with a pink bandage.
"Yes!" She nodded emphatically.
Losing £200 but gaining Gu Junting is a win-win situation!
Song Ying and Qin Shu were the last to leave the hall.
There was no other reason; it was just that after issuing the statement and announcing the marriage in the live stream, there were some things that needed to be handed over to Sister Hong, so it was delayed for a while.
When they went out, the other two groups of guests had already disappeared.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the sunlight is gentle.
Qin Shu tightened his grip on Song Ying's hand. Perhaps it was because he now had a formal title, but he seemed more energetic, and his captivating fox-like eyes became even more alluring.
"Have you decided where to go?" he asked.
Song Ying blinked her beautiful tit-like eyes, "I've thought of a place."
Qin Shu smiled and said, "What a coincidence, me too."
"Why don't we write it down together and see how well we can work together?"
"OK."
After saying this, the two of them simultaneously took out their phones.
Type an address into the memo.
"I'll count to 3, 2, 1, then we'll look at each other?"
"Okay." Qin Shu nodded.
After a moment, the two looked at each other's answers and smiled.
The cameraman also had a keen eye, giving both of them close-ups of the screen at the same time.
