Ning Chuchu has been very busy this whole day.

First, she went to the set of "One Sword" to take makeup photos, and then went to Xie's company to deal with Xie Jinqiu. After finishing her work, it was almost late at night, but she still had to go back to the love cabin to record a variety show.

If Pei Xingyan hadn't come, she would have wanted to find a hotel outside to stay overnight and try to escape today's recording. But because she had something to ask Pei Xingyan, she still cheered up and went back.

As soon as Ning Chuchu opened the door of the love hut, she was shocked by the scene inside.

Almost all the staff of the program were crowded in the villa, and they were all aiming their weapons at her as she walked in. The other guests were also scattered in the living room, some chatting and some alone, but now they all looked at her.

Ning Chuchu was used to being the center of attention; she smiled at them calmly, as casual and indifferent as a queen returning to her own territory.

"Chu Chu, you are not hurt today, right?"

"Chu Chu, how can you hit someone!"

Two figures stood up at the same time, one with a look of concern, the other with a reproachful tone.

The most ironic thing is that the person who cared about whether Ning Chuchu was injured in the conflict with Song Tuo was Deng Xueer, whom she had known for less than a month; while Yun Yirou, who had been Ning Chuchu's stepsister for more than ten years, started blaming her.

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly, not giving Yun Yirou the slightest bit of face, and sarcastically said, "Yun Yirou, when we were recording the show before, you were the one who always boasted that you were friendly and caring about sisters... right? Now it seems that you don't have any outsiders who are worried about me? You are not qualified to be a 'good sister'."

Yun Yirou's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said calmly, "You also said that I am not an outsider, but your sister, so I can't just indulge you, but should discipline you properly."

"Chu Chu, why is your temper getting worse and worse? It's okay to argue with someone on the set, but how can you resort to violence? As a public figure, do you know how bad the public impact of doing this will be?"

Ning Chuchu looked at her in surprise. Oh, Yun Yirou has become more capable? Not only can she argue with her, but she can also flatter her?

But who doesn't know how to flatter?

Ning Chuchu crossed her arms and said with a half-smile, "You are wrong. Song Tuo is a drug addict and a scumbag. I beat him up just to get rid of harm and to enforce justice. The public impact... I can't even begin to describe how good it will be."

"Yun Yiru, are you sure you want to stand on Song Tuo's side and accuse me?" Ning Chuchu covered her mouth in surprise and said, "How can you empathize with a drug-addicted scumbag? Could it be..."

Ning Chuchu didn't elaborate on what she said, but the meaningful words had already made Yun Yirou's face change suddenly. She quickly retorted: "When did I speak for Song Tuo? Don't slander me!"

Ning Chuchu said lazily and casually: "You just said it, I heard it clearly."

Deng Xueer, who had just spoken out of concern for Ning Chuchu, immediately echoed, "I heard it, too."

Yun Yirou was so angry at their concerted actions that her chest ached. Ning Chuchu was always so aggressive. She just said a few words to her, but Ning Chuchu wanted to splash dirty water with drugs on her. How could she be so vicious!

Yun Yirou wanted to argue further, but Ning Chuchu simply ignored her, changed her shoes and walked into the living room.

The other guests surrounded her, and everyone excluded Yun Yirou at the same time. Even the camera of the program crew ignored Yun Yirou.

Wang Yun Yirou was full of ambition and wanted to fight with Ning Chuchu, but she couldn't even touch the corner of Ning Chuchu's skirt. She was squeezed into a corner and her face turned blue with anger.

Ning Chuchu walked into the living room and quickly locked her eyes on the man on the sofa.

He was wearing white clothes and black pants, was tall and thin, had a handsome and elegant face, and had a noble and transcendent temperament.

When he twisted the beads slowly and rhythmically with his slender fingers, his tranquil and transcendent charm made people hold their breath unconsciously.

Ning Chuchu showed a gentle and peaceful smile, and sat down next to Pei Xingyan leisurely, and greeted him generously, "Hello, Mr. Pei. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Pei Xingyan stared at Ning Chuchu for a long time with his eyes as bright as stars. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on his usually cold face, and then a gentle voice rang out, "This wait is worth it."

Ning Chuchu was slightly stunned, somewhat unsure of Pei Xingyan's attitude.

Why did he suddenly say something so ambiguous? Could it be that... he also wanted to create a couple relationship with me?

However, after Pei Xingyan finished speaking, he did not take the next step. His eyes were fixed on Ning Chuchu's face, and his clear eyes seemed to become deep and unfathomable, as if he wanted to see through Ning Chuchu's entire body.

Ning Chuchu felt a little uneasy when he looked at her, so she made a joke to liven up the atmosphere, "Mr. Pei, why are you looking at me all the time? Could it be that my appearance has changed again?"

Unexpectedly, Pei Xingyan actually nodded slowly.

Ning Chuchu: “…”

She looked at Pei Xingyan hesitantly, but after glancing at the dark camera next to her, she swallowed her words.

At this time, the director rubbed his hands excitedly and announced loudly: "It's a rare opportunity to gather all the guests. Next, we will carry out a small activity..."

Hearing this, the guests sighed in unison, thinking with tiredness: Oh, guys, we have to work overtime again.

Ning Chuchu raised her wrist to check her watch, frowned, and asked loudly, "Director, it's already past nine o'clock. It's past the stipulated working hours. Isn't it time for us to take a break?"

Ning Chuchu glanced at the live broadcast equipment that was still running, with no intention of saving face for the program crew.

It was stipulated at the beginning of "Love" that the live broadcast time is fixed from 6 to 9 pm every night, and the rest of the time is recorded and broadcasted, and not many requirements are made for the guests.

But ever since Ning Chuchu became famous for telling the truth, the director of "Love in the Realm" has unscrupulously extended the live broadcast time, causing the guests' workload to increase significantly.

But because the show was so popular and the production team had more control, no guest dared to raise any objections.

Ning Chuchu was used to working overtime, but she was too tired today and felt extremely irritated. She also had to play some boring games with the program team and was forced to interact with the male guests...

Ning Chuchu didn't want to endure it anymore.

Never mind. She had just made up her mind today to be a straightforward and free-spirited "tout", so she might as well start with the program crew.

Ning Chuchu said with an unhappy face: "We have been working overtime too much recently. We have to live broadcast all day long and we don't even get overtime pay. The donkeys on the production team need to rest."

The director was stunned for a moment, then argued: "But Miss Ning, you have been busy outside today and hardly participated in our live broadcast! Isn't it just right to make up for it now?"

Ning Chuchu crossed her arms and said coolly, "When we signed the contract, we were not required to participate in the live broadcast. The working hours were clearly stipulated, but did you abide by them?"

"Besides, because of my absence, other guests are asked to work overtime with me? That's too inappropriate." Ning Chuchu smiled slightly, pretending to be very understanding. "Don't worry, director, I don't care how many shots I have. Don't force me to play more scenes, so as not to tire others out. Let's all go back and rest."

Director: “…” What’s wrong?

The director had seen Ning Chuchu's ability to confuse right and wrong, but as for extending the live broadcast time...it was indeed his fault.

But he really didn't want to miss this rare shot of Pei Xingyan and Ning Chuchu in the same frame, so he said shamelessly: "This is a rare opportunity, let's record for a while. Just a little while!"

However, seeing that there was no chance to communicate with Pei Xingyan alone tonight, Ning Chuchu, who was tired after a day of work, simply didn't want to face the camera for a moment.

She stood up and went back to the house, saying lazily, "I'm going to get off work, bye."

As soon as Ning Chuchu finished speaking, Ren Zihe, who had always been at odds with her, was the first to agree: "That's right, what activities are you doing so late at night? I have to go back to play games too!"

As long as one person takes the lead, others will also have the courage to vent.

Zhong Xinyue had long been dissatisfied with the production crew's exploitation, so she immediately stood up and walked towards the bedroom, muttering, "I'm so annoyed staying up late to record the show every day! My skin has become worse..."

The guests took their seats one after another, and the other staff members of the program team looked at each other, then lowered their heads to avoid being noticed by the director with their smiles.

They have been working overtime recently, and the guests are tired, which makes them even more tired! They don't have the courage to directly object to the director, but they are definitely happy to see the guests' "strike"!

Thank you Sister Ning! Thank you to the thoughtful guests! They can finally take a break...

The director stared in amazement at this uncontrollable scene, simply unable to believe it.

It was obvious that when the program just started recording, their program team firmly took the initiative when facing this group of guests.

But ever since Ning Chuchu changed her gentle style and turned into a ruthless machine, they have been in trouble everywhere...

Looking at the living room that had become empty in an instant, the director lit a cigarette with melancholy: Can the gentle Green Tea Ning Chuchu be returned to me...

The guests of the program team collectively "strike", but the audience watching the live broadcast were not angry at all, but very happy.

[As expected of you, Sister Ning! ]

[I can understand the guests. The live broadcast of "Love" has been really long recently. I am a student who has nothing to do at home during the holidays. I am exhausted from watching the live broadcast from morning to night every day, not to mention the guests who participated in the recording...]

[The way the production crew of "Love Is Coming" eats is too ugly...]

[Aren’t all capitalists like this? They won’t stop until they’ve squeezed you dry.]

[Wuwuwu, Sister Ning is simply a role model for workers! Refusing to work overtime starts with me! ]

[When will I be able to have the courage to reject my boss like Sister Ning...QAQ]

[I forwarded the video to the company group, I hope the dog can have some shame than the boss:)]

[Every time I think I know Sister Ning well enough, I am shocked by her again and again. Beating Song Tuo in public, exposing his drug use, refusing to work overtime during a live broadcast... Is there anything else that Sister Ning dare not do? ]

[Haha, Song Tuo didn't take drugs at all, it was Ning Chuchu who slandered him, okay?! ]

[I have liked Song Tuo for a long time and I believe in his character! Ning Chuchu will be held legally responsible for making up rumors! ]

【If you don't take sides, you will be hammered. 】

【Stay tuned～】

…

In the quiet night, there was someone also watching this live broadcast.

Xie Jinqiu sat alone in the cold and quiet office, with his hands folded on his knees, his face calm and indifferent.

Just by looking at the way he was concentrating on the computer screen, outsiders might think that this serious President Xie was working hard again.

However, he was just watching his fiancée's live broadcast.

Ning Chuchu in the live broadcast once again refreshed some of Xie Jinqiu's perceptions.

Ning Chuchu was seen smiling, but she choked the other guests and made them turn pale. In the end, she directly rejected the program crew's offer, refused to work overtime, and went back to her room to rest.

Ning Chuchu, who was so bright and almost blinding, was very unfamiliar to Xie Jinqiu.

Xie Jinqiu's impression of Ning Chuchu was that of a fiancée with no sense of existence in the past two years. It was only recently that it suddenly became vivid.

It turns out that she is not as gentle and docile as she always appears. On the contrary, she is cunning, clever, scheming, and very good at taking advantage of others.

Moreover, for some reason, Ning Chuchu, who was obviously a very cautious person who was very good at pretending, always inadvertently "showed" in front of him, exposing the fact that she didn't actually like him that much.

After revealing her true feelings, she was able to pretend that nothing had happened and sent him some affectionate essays every night as a routine. It was really... it made people sigh at her strong psychological quality.

Xie Jinqiu unknowingly became curious about her and began to pay attention to her unconsciously.

Xie Jinqiu tapped the table with his fingers, and regular tapping sounds sounded softly in the silent space.

He stared at the computer screen with heavy eyes, his mind racing.

Which side of her is the truest Ning Chuchu?

Ning Chuchu was really tired today. After returning to her room and washing up briefly, she fell asleep soon after.

The next day, she woke up early and went downstairs to get some water in a daze. However, when she saw the figure in the garden through the French window, she was shocked and suddenly sobered up.

Ning Chuchu returned to her room decisively, washed and changed her clothes as quickly as possible, and rarely even put on any makeup. With her face as pure as a lotus, she went to the garden.

Under the shade of the tree, Pei Xingchang stood and looked quietly into the distance. His left hand was behind his back, twisting the string of beads in an unhurried manner. His whole body was bathed in the sunshine, looking particularly noble and noble.

As soon as Ning Chuchu approached him, Pei Xingyan turned his head to look at her. The two looked at each other, and the next second, they both smiled faintly, with an unexpected tacit understanding and harmony.

"Miss Ning."

"Mr. Pei."

After saying hello, Ning Chuchu took the initiative to stand next to him. Although she had countless questions in her mind, Ning Chuchu still greeted him politely, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Pei Xingyan stared at her with his clear eyes. Instead of answering her question, he asked directly, "Miss Ning, you have something to ask me, right?"

Ning Chuchu: “…”

How come this guy is just like her who is tied to the truth system, and speaks so chokingly?

Ning Chuchu coughed uncomfortably and then glanced around quietly. Although she didn't see any cameras, she was still afraid that there were ears behind the wall, so she took the initiative to invite him: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Pei Xingyan nodded, and the two left the love hut side by side.

The villa area where the Love Cottage is located is clean and elegant, with many trees. Walking on the path and breathing the fresh morning air, Ning Chuchu's tense mood slowly relaxes.

This was probably the most relaxed and comfortable moment she had felt in some time.

After strolling around for a while, Ning Chuchu took a deep breath and asked casually, "Mr. Pei, you said yesterday that... my face has changed again? What does that mean?"

Pei Xingyan walked calmly, and when he turned to look at her, there was a gentle smile in his starry eyes. He said in a clear voice: "Appearance is determined by the heart. Your heart has changed, so..."

Before Pei Xingyan finished speaking, Ning Chuchu already understood what he meant.

Has her heart changed?

Could it be... that it was due to the decision she made yesterday?

Would simply deciding to cooperate with the truth system and change the way you do things have such a powerful effect?

Ning Chuchu looked at Pei Xingyan with doubt, coughed lightly, and asked, "Mr. Pei, I don't doubt your ability. I just want to ask, is his face reading reliable?"

Pei Xingyan looked at her and smiled without saying anything.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Miss Ning, you are very special."

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's so special about it?"

Pei Xingyan narrowed his eyes and stared at her steadily. His usually gentle gaze suddenly became sharp, as if he could see through her. "You are a person with great fortune. You are destined to have a smooth life and endless wealth. However... it seems that there is a mysterious external force that has covered up your future destiny."

"I can't see through it." Pei Xingyan said.

External force? That probably means the system, right?

Ning Chuchu was deep in thought when Pei Xingyan spoke again, "There is another person I can't see through, your stepsister Yun Yirou."

Ning Chuchu was shocked and listened to him attentively.

Pei Xingyan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Her face seems to be restraining you. Miss Ning, you have to be careful."

Hearing this, Ning Chuchu's eyes darkened slightly, and the hands hanging at her sides unconsciously clenched into fists.

"But I can give you a piece of advice." Pei Xingyan looked at her with a smile, and said every word seriously, "Follow your heart, that is the best."

Follow your heart?

Ning Chuchu thought for a moment and curled her lips inexplicably. Pei Xingyan's suggestion was similar to the system's requirement of "telling the truth".

She thought she knew what to do.

During this conversation with Pei Xingyan, Ning Chuchu did not get a definite answer from him about questions such as "fate" and "face", but her mood was unexpectedly much lighter, and her goals became clearer and clearer.

Just as they were about to return to the love hut, Pei Xingyan suddenly stopped. Then, he, who had never been in a hurry, suddenly quickened his pace and quickly walked into the bushes not far ahead.

Ning Chuchu looked at his inexplicable behavior in surprise, and after hesitating for a moment, she followed him.

Approaching the bushes, Ning Chuchu saw Pei Xingyan squatting on the ground checking something. She also bent down to take a look and then couldn't help but exclaimed.

A half-grown spotted dog was shivering and curled up on the ground, with obvious bloodstains on its hind legs. Its two big ears were drooping, and its pair of black eyes were looking at them with wet eyes. It was humming softly, looking extremely pitiful.

Pei Xingyan stretched out his hand tentatively, and the spotted dog carefully moved forward to smell his slender fingertips. Seeing that the dog was very docile and had no intention of attacking him, Pei Xingyan gently picked it up, not caring at all about getting his snow-white shirt stained by it.

Ning Chuchu gently stroked the dog's head, took out her phone and said, "I'll call a car and take it to the hospital."

"Okay, thank you."

The two quickly sent the puppy to the hospital. Fortunately, the puppy was not seriously injured. The doctor simply treated its injuries and they took it directly back to the Love Cabin.

On the way, Pei Xingyan didn't mind being tired or dirty, and he held the spotted dog himself. Ning Chuchu looked at his warm and clear face, and his sympathetic and gentle eyes on the spotted dog, and suddenly her heart moved.

In the past, when Ning Chuchu saw Pei Xingyan playing with the Buddhist beads on his wrist, she just thought he was pretending to be cultured and even suspected him of being pretentious.

But at this moment, she truly felt a kind of strength and tenderness from Pei Xingyan that came from the heart.

Just as gods and Buddhas have mercy on the world.

"Do you believe in Buddhism?" Ning Chuchu asked for some unknown reason. She was not a gossipy person, but now she was curious about someone.

Pei Xingyan chuckled and said, "In fact, before I came of age, I was a true monk."

"Ah?" Ning Chuchu looked at him in shock and blurted out, "Have you shaved your head before?"

Pei Xingyan: “…” Miss Ning’s focus is a bit strange.

He nodded with a smile, "Yes."

Ning Chuchu touched her chin and analyzed very seriously: "You have a good head shape and a high forehead. Even if you are bald, you should still be handsome."

Pei Xingyan shook his head helplessly and smiled without saying anything.

Seeing that they were about to return to the Love House, Ning Chuchu couldn't help but ask: "Why did you become a monk? Can you tell me?"

Pei Xingyan looked at her with a smile, his eyes soft and gentle, "I'll tell you when the time is right."

Since Pei Xingyan didn't want to talk about it now, Ning Chuchu didn't force him and quickly put the matter behind her.

By the time they returned to the Love Shack, it was almost noon and all the guests had gathered together, recording in full swing.

The sudden appearance of Ning Chuchu and Pei Xingyan naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"Wow, where did this puppy come from?" Zhong Xinyue was the first to run forward and looked at the dog in Pei Xingyan's arms excitedly. After seeing its hind legs bandaged, a trace of worry appeared on her face.

Ning Chuchu briefly described how they found the puppy and sent him for treatment, which aroused everyone's admiration.

"Chu Chu, you are so kind-hearted!" Deng Xueer looked at her with emotion, and praised Ning Chu Chu without sparing any effort.

The atmosphere was obviously harmonious, but someone came out to ruin the mood.

Yun Yirou smiled wryly and said, "Luckily we are recording a show, otherwise Chuchu would always stay away from these little animals."

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows. Was Yun Yirou hinting at her, saving the dog just to put on a show in front of the camera?

Ning Chuchu was too lazy to argue with her now. She just crossed her arms and looked around in surprise, "Where is the dog barking?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then after they reacted, they all smiled and lowered their heads.

People who don't know the previous situation would think that Ning Chuchu heard the barking of the flower dog, but they were at the scene and saw with their own eyes that the flower dog was very well behaved and didn't make a sound. In this case, the only "dog" who made a sound was...

I have to say that Ning Chuchu has mastered the essence of quarreling. If you argue with the other party and explain all the doubts she raised, as long as the other party is a little bit nagging, you will eventually lose.

Ignoring the other party's doubts like this and just picking on her sore spot and laughing at her is the best way to make the other party angry and embarrassed.

When it comes to quarreling, you should take the initiative and not get carried away by the other person's rhythm.

Sister Ning, you are more damaged. Of course, you are also taller. Everyone thought silently.

Sure enough, Yun Yirou was so angry that her face turned green. Just as she was about to scold Ning Chuchu, she was interrupted by Pei Xingyan.

When facing other people, Pei Xingyan lacks the gentle and compassionate Buddha nature, and is more cold, distant and superior.

He said calmly, "Ms. Ning is sincere and the most open-minded person I have ever met."

I have to say, it really makes people feel proud to hear words of praise for her coming from such a prominent figure like Pei Xingyan.

Initially, Ning Chuchu felt a little guilty when she heard him praise himself for being "sincere" and "frank", but when she saw Yun Yirou's unwilling and resentful expression, she felt relieved instantly.

It feels so good to have someone help me slap myself in the face.

Yes. She is a sincere and honest person. The system can prove it.

System: "..."Have some shame!!! =皿=

The little flower dog was not afraid of people at all, and especially loved to stick to Ning Chuchu and Pei Xingyan. It quickly became familiar with the people in the villa. Even Yin Shaoquan, who always looked down on others, couldn't help but touch it a few times.

Only Ren Zihe looked disgusted and said, "What's so good about this dog? It's so dirty."

Seeing Ning Chuchu holding the dog in her arms, Ren Zihe grumbled in dissatisfaction, "You are so nice to the dog, but so mean to me. You really have no vision."

Ren Zihe fell in love with Ning Chuchu's face at first sight and always wanted to "pick up" her, but he was so annoyed by Ning Chuchu that he doesn't even dare to get close to her.

Hearing this, Ning Chuchu glanced at him calmly and said with a smile: "This dog is better than you in every way except that it is not as healthy as you."

Ren Zihe: "..."Are you polite? !

He immediately got furious and retorted angrily: "How is that possible?! At least I'm prettier than it!"

After saying this, Ren Zihe was stunned. That's not right, why would he compete with a dog?

The most heartbreaking thing is that Zhong Xinyue tilted her head and asked seriously, "Are you... pretty?"

Ren Zihe: "..."Humiliation! Such a huge humiliation!

Before he could even get angry, Ning Chuchu covered the dog's big ears and said softly like she was coaxing a child, "Good dog, don't listen to his nonsense, he's just jealous of your popularity!"

Ren Zihe was so angry that his chest heaved violently, but in the end he could only pound the sofa in anger.

Because he found out...he was not as popular as the dog. QAQ

Just as everyone gathered together to discuss what name to give the dog, the director announced excitedly: "Dear guests! Today, we will welcome a new guest to our love house!"
