Ning Chuchu looked at Pei Wang in confusion, as if she wanted to pry open his skull to see if it was full of water.

However, looking at Pei Wang's bewildered eyes, Ning Chuchu could only sigh softly.

Never mind. It's her own fault after all.

Few people knew that she and Xie Jinqiu were an unmarried couple, and naturally Pei Wang didn't know either.

When Pei Wang was framed and searching for evidence for counterattack, Xie Jinqiu did a lot in secret.

Although Xie Jinqiu had hinted that the reason why he helped was Ning Chuchu, Pei Wang really thought that they just knew each other and did not think in a more ambiguous direction.

I can only say... Pei Wang is indeed a bit slow in terms of feelings. No wonder he was betrayed so badly by his ex-wife Shang Shuya and almost couldn't recover.

Ning Chuchu rubbed her brows with a headache, and for a moment she really didn't know how to explain it to him.

Tell her that she and Xie Jinqiu are an unmarried couple? But what if they decide to break off their engagement later? There is no need to expose this relationship.

Continue to hide this relationship? If Pei Wang was serious about bringing her and Pei Xingyan together, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be seen by Xie Jinqiu?

After thinking for a while, Ning Chuchu said righteously: "Brother Pei, Pei Xingyan and I are just ordinary friends. Don't make any random remarks, otherwise it will be very embarrassing for us."

Pei Wang shook his head, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

When the two of them went their separate ways to do their tasks, Pei Wang looked at Ning Chuchu's back and sighed helplessly.

According to Pei Xingyan's cold and indifferent personality, the fact that he was "forced" to participate in this inexplicable variety show is actually very telling...

He always felt that Ning Chuchu was the only person who could possibly pull his uncle, who had the Buddha's nature, back into the mortal world. Unfortunately, Ning Chuchu didn't seem to be interested in Pei Xingyan...

Pei Wang was frowning as he pondered over something, when suddenly someone rushed up to him and shouted excitedly, "Mr. Pei!"

Pei Wang looked up in shock, and was caught off guard by a shiny bald head.

Looking at the handsome and excited face of the young man in front of him, Pei Wang thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Mr. Gu?"

He vaguely remembered that this was Xie Jinqiu's cousin.

Gu Yunfei nodded excitedly, "I am! Mr. Pei, just call me Yunfei!"

"Mr. Movie King, I'm your biggest fan! I've seen every one of your movies!" Gu Yunfei, this middle school boy, has always loved to act cool, and it's rare for him to show such a lively side.

"Before that woman slandered you, I went straight out and fought with the netizens for 300 rounds..."

Pei Wangshi had seen too many fans like this before. At this moment, he listened to Gu Yunfei with a smile on his face, but he was actually a little absent-minded.

Later, he suddenly asked, "Yun Fei, will you be assigned to work with Chu Chu later?"

Gu Yunfei's face instantly fell, "Yeah, I'm going to be bullied by her again..."

Pei Wang blinked his eyes, thinking quickly, and suddenly asked: "Yun Fei, do you mind switching groups with Xing Yan?"

Hearing his idol's request, Gu Yunfei was about to agree immediately, but he was smart for once and asked cautiously, "Why?"

He still remembered that Pei Xingyan and Ning Chuchu had participated in a romance variety show together! Now they were asked to do a mission together again... something was wrong.

Pei Wang coughed uncomfortably and hinted, "Don't you think Xingyan and Chuchu are a good match? The show "Love" is about to end, and the male and female guests will have to choose each other... I just want to create more opportunities for them to get along with each other."

Gu Yunfei: “…”

Good guy, he is here to poach his cousin?

No! Absolutely not!

Gu Yunfei's face instantly showed a look of resistance and dissatisfaction, but because the engagement between his cousin and his wife had to be kept secret, he did not explain anything to Pei Wang. He just shook his head like a toad and said, "No!"

Pei Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'll give you an autograph."

Gu Yunfei: “…” His face showed a struggle.

Pei Wang: "Give you my personal contact information?"

Gu Yunfei: “…Deal!”

Gu Yunfei excitedly added his idol's WeChat, while confessing guiltily: Cousin, I'm sorry! I just asked my cousin's wife to do a task with that person, and she will not be poached! I believe in your charm!

Looking at Gu Yunfei's joyful expression, Pei Wang smiled slightly, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.

After getting the personal contact information of his idol whom he had admired for a long time, Gu Yunfei was so excited that he walked with the wind. Since he had exchanged tasks with Pei Xingyan, he sneaked over to his cousin's place.

When Xie Jinqiu saw him doing nothing, he immediately frowned, "Have you completed your mission?"

Gu Yunfei suddenly froze in place in embarrassment.

Xie Jinqiu narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "You didn't leave all the tasks to Chu Chu, did you?"

"No, no!" Gu Yunfei waved his hands subconsciously and said, "Pei Xingyan is there to help her!"

Xie Jinqiu: "..."

Just now, Xie Jinqiu just stared at him, but now... Xie Jinqiu took a long step and walked directly in front of Gu Yunfei, his face full of dangerous coldness.

Gu Yunfei resolutely admitted: "...Cousin, I was wrong."

When Xie Jinqiu asked Gu Yunfei what happened, his brows were so twisted that they could knot into knots.

He has always been a calm and self-contained person, but now he doesn't care about anything and just drops everything to rush to Ning Chuchu.

Along the way, Xie Jinqiu kept thinking wildly.

How does Ning Chuchu feel about Pei Xingyan? If she really likes someone else, then... he seems to have no way to deal with it.

This realization made Xie Jinqiu's heart immediately sink.

When they arrived at the place where Ning Chuchu was doing the task, Xie Jinqiu and Gu Yunfei happened to meet Pei Wang.

"Mr. Xie!" Pei Wang still remembered Xie Jinqiu's generous help and greeted him with a smile.

Xie Jinqiu looked at him with cold eyes, but he endured it again and again, and nodded slightly to Pei Wang in response.

This was a partner that Ning Chuchu valued very much, and Xie Jinqiu couldn't hold back no matter how dissatisfied she was with him.

The three of them had their own thoughts, but they all came to the door of the room where Ning Chuchu was doing her task. When they saw the group of photographers guarding the door, their faces were filled with excitement.

Pei Wang's face was filled with joy. Could it be that Chuchu was expressing her love to Xingyan, so she drove out these troublesome photographers?

Gu Yunfei was worried. It was over. Could he really have killed his cousin's wife?!

Xie Jinqiu's face was solemn, his black eyes were extremely deep, and his turbulent emotions were like a ferocious beast that was about to break out of its cage, roaring and rolling.

Gu Yunfei looked at his cousin in fear. However, Xie Jinqiu closed his eyes, walked slowly to the door, and knocked calmly.

His knock on the door was gentle and slow, sounding very calm and polite, in stark contrast to his stern expression.

Soon, the door of the room was opened, and Pei Xingyan's handsome and smiling face appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing so many people coming together, he didn't seem surprised at all, and invited everyone into the room very naturally.

The photographer wanted to follow in eagerly, but was ruthlessly blocked outside the door by the crowd.

After Xie Jinqiu and his party entered the house, they all fell silent when they saw the scene in front of them clearly.

Pei Xingyan was wearing an apron, gloves, and holding a rag in her hand. She looked like she was working.

Ning was leaning on the recliner elegantly but like a master, with a cup of tea in her hand and snacks on the table beside her, looking as relaxed as if she was on vacation.

Pei Wang was silent for a moment. It seemed that... Xing Yan and Chu Chu did not develop the romantic development he had imagined.

Because this scene is just the queen and her servants! How can there be any ambiguity?!

Gu Yunfei shrank his neck in fear. Fortunately, he was wise! Otherwise, he would be the one doing two jobs at the same time!

Xie Jinqiu stared closely at Ning Chuchu's leisurely and contented face for a long time, then lowered his head with a smile, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

The room suddenly became crowded with three tall, long-legged men. Ning Chuchu waved at them casually and said naturally, "Stop standing there. Sit down."

After everyone was seated, Ning Chuchu coughed lightly and explained, "Well... Pei Xingyan insisted on taking on the entire task by himself. He wouldn't let me do anything I wanted to do."

The implication is that she is not a vicious landlord who exploits her farmhands!

Pei Xingyan nodded seriously: "Yes, Miss Ning should not work hard today, I have no choice but to do it."

Everyone else was puzzled when they heard this, but Ning Chuchu knew that Pei Xingyan was so considerate because he probably saw that she was on her period.

Ning Chuchu was too lazy to explain and changed the subject directly: "Why are you all here together? Is there something going on?"

Gu Yunfei looked at his cousin carefully, and saw Xie Jinqiu said very naturally: "Let's see if there is anyone who can help."

After this was revealed, they naturally started chatting.

Pei Wang was still thinking about bringing the two together, so he smiled and started the conversation, "By the way, Xingyan, aren't you good at fortune-telling? Have you ever seen... whether you and Miss Ning are a good match?"

Ning Chuchu twitched her lips. Pei Wang hasn't given up yet?

But...she glanced at Xie Jinqiu and unexpectedly met his calm and deep eyes.

Xie Jinqiu seemed to curl up the corners of his lips, and nodded to her softly, with no hint of dissatisfaction or anger at all.

Ning Chuchu also smiled at him calmly, feeling infinite emotion in her heart for a moment.

When she was recording a romance drama, she went on a date with a young guy from the same company, and happened to bump into Xie Jinqiu who was having dinner with Pei Xingyan. The scene at that time was so embarrassing.

At that time, she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it, and she was also afraid that Xie Jinqiu would be dissatisfied with her because of it.

Now she no longer worries about what others think of her.

As for Pei Wang's messy behavior... Ning Chuchu felt a little headache, but she was not angry. After all, ignorance is not a crime.

Just as she was thinking about how to continue the topic, Pei Xingyan spoke with a look of embarrassment.

"Pei Wang, don't mention the matter between me and Miss Ning anymore."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him in confusion, a hint of sadness flashed across Pei Xingyan's eyes.

His clear eyes first fell on Ning Chuchu's face, and then on Xie Jinqiu's face. After a long time, he said: "Compared to before, the faces of Miss Ning and Mr. Xie have changed slightly."

"Now, if we use the words of the ancient times, their fates can be described as one is destined to be an emperor, and the other is destined to be a phoenix. They are extremely noble and can be said to be a match made in heaven."

Everyone: “…”

Pei Wang looked at the two people in shock: "Ah? Mr. Xie and Miss Ning? This..."

Ning Chuchu: “…”

Her engagement with Xie Jinqiu seemed to be exposed, but it was not completely exposed...

Xie Jinqiu was slightly stunned when he heard this. There was no joy on his face, but he frowned and thought deeply.

Only Gu Yunfei nodded heartlessly: "Yes! Yes! After Ning Jie married into the Xie family, she would be a wealthy wife. The Xie family is also uniquely wealthy. Isn't this a phoenix fate!"

Ning Chuchu glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

Pei Xingyan shook his head slowly. A subtle smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "No. Miss Ning is ordered by the emperor."

"Mr. Xie has a hint of Feng Ge in him."

Ning Chuchu: “……???”

Ning Chuchu was confused: "Are you sure?"

What is the imperial decree or phoenix decree? The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years! If this gets out, will she be regarded as a feudalist and be overthrown? !

Pei Xingyan frowned slightly and said to himself: "Maybe what I said is not accurate enough, but..."

"Miss Ning, you have an extremely noble destiny and great luck, which is simply rare in the world. I have never seen such a destiny before, and I don't know how to define it, but in my impression, only the legendary emperor's destiny can be compared with yours."

"As for Mr. Xie... he got some benefit because he is related to you."

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly, and was about to ask a few more questions when the system whispered in her ear: "Host, to some extent, this Pei guy is not wrong! You are the heroine of this world, and now you are about to completely achieve the ending of the original storyline. Of course, your luck is unmatched!"

"It's not quite accurate to say that you are destined to be an emperor, because - you are the daughter of destiny in this world! You are much more powerful than any emperor's fate!"

Ning Chuchu was shocked: "...Am I that awesome?"

"Of course! Daughter of the world, daughter of luck! To put it bluntly, this world revolves around you!" The system was proud of it and snorted smugly, "Why else do you think the jade bracelet is trying so hard to steal your luck?"

"Of course it's because - your luck is unique in the world!"

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows playfully and murmured to herself, "Interesting."

But...she glanced at Xie Jinqiu thoughtfully. Is there really a fate between her and Xie Jinqiu?

As if sensing what Ning Chuchu was thinking, the system spoke again: "Host, relax. You are the only heroine in this world. Whoever you are with is the hero."

"You are with a lot of people, so there are a lot of male protagonists!" the system said, "So, just let it go, be with whoever you like, don't feel pressured!"

Ning Chuchu: "...not necessarily with so many people!"

At this time, everyone began to discuss Pei Xingyan's "fate" enthusiastically.

Gu Yunfei was in a daze: "My cousin is going to be the queen?"

Then he showed a happy expression: "Then am I not the king's uncle?!"

Xie Jinqiu silently stared at Shale's cousin, feeling the urge to stroke his forehead helplessly.

But... Queen? Xie Jinqiu glanced at Ning Chuchu secretly and felt her ears were a little hot.

Pei Wang frowned tightly and stroked his chin thoughtfully, "The Emperor's order, the Phoenix's order..."

He suddenly stared at Pei Xingyan and asked, "How about... you become Chuchu's concubine or something?"

Everyone: “…”

Pei Xingyan was twisting the beads slowly, but when he heard this, his fingers suddenly tightened and he almost broke the beads.

Pei Xingyan was speechless for the first time, and he could hardly hold back his cool and aloof demeanor. It wouldn't be surprising if he rushed up and beat Pei Wang up right now.

Ning Chuchu gave Pei Wang a fierce look and deliberately said, "Why don't you recommend yourself to be a concubine?"

Pei Wang shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "I am a divorced woman... a broken woman, not worthy of Chu Chu, hahahaha."

Ning Chuchu: “…” His fist hardened.

No one took the so-called fate seriously. But after this incident, Pei Wang seemed to understand something and never mentioned the idea of ​​bringing Pei Xingyan and Ning Chuchu together again.

Pei Wang accidentally glanced at Pei Xingyan's handsome profile and couldn't help but sigh softly.

What a pity...

When a whole day's shooting was completed, Ning Chuchu was about to go back to her room to rest, but Sui Feng called her.

"Chu Chu, can I talk to you in private?" Sui Feng changed his usual lazy and casual look and said in a serious tone.

Ning Chuchu was slightly stunned, then nodded happily: "Okay."

The two came to a secret place, surrounded by silence.

Ning Chuchu asked: "What's the matter?"

Sui Feng was silent for a long time before he spoke with difficulty: "Chu Chu, I... I'm sorry."

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows in surprise and laughed, "Why do you want to apologize?"

Sui Feng pursed his lips and looked at her with a complicated expression. After a long while, he sighed softly, "I just found out that your stepmother has been imprisoned."

"Then what?" Ning Chuchu still didn't understand why he talked about this matter in such a serious manner.

Sui Feng took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Chu Chu, I was too naive before."

"When I accused you of 'changing', I didn't think about the difficult situation you were in at the time..."

Sui Feng felt his heart aching.

Only now that he understood what Yun Shu had done did he deeply realize how vicious and terrifying this woman was.

But Chuchu had to make a living under this stepmother since she was eight years old. How much grievance must she have suffered?

But he always accused Chuchu of "changing", even saying that she "became hypocritical and snobbish", and was no longer as straightforward and lovely as before...

Sui Feng felt a dull pain in his head when he thought of this. Guilt overwhelmed him like a tide, making it hard for him to breathe.

How could he be such a jerk in the past?!

Sui Feng simply didn't dare to look up at Ning Chuchu's expression. Just when he was torturing himself, Ning Chuchu's relaxed voice came from in front of him.

"It happened so long ago, don't take it to heart." Ning Chuchu was a little surprised, as if she had never expected him to be so stubborn.

Ning Chuchu shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, everything is fine now. I have become a person who doesn't care about anything in the past anymore."

"Don't take it to heart."

Sui Feng looked at her indifferent face and was suddenly stunned.

He could see that Chuchu had really let go of those things. She was now so carefree and unrestrained, freer and happier than ever before.

Ning Chuchu had long since let go of his "betrayal" and hurt, and had already embarked on a new life.

But... Sui Feng couldn't let it go.

Sui Fengyou looked at Ning Chuchu with a complicated expression, his eyes faintly filled with pain and self-blame, but Ning Chuchu patted his shoulder very naturally and said, "It's late at night, go back and rest."

As she walked back in her slippers, she muttered, "I thought you were going to tell me something important, but this is it?"

Sui Feng stared at her undressed back in a daze, his hands hanging at his sides unconsciously clenched into fists.

He was left behind by Chu Chu.

After returning to her room, Ning Chuchu was about to go to bed for a good night's sleep, but a phone call interrupted her plans.

Looking at the name on the caller ID, Ning Chuchu frowned in pain.

She hesitated for a while, and finally picked up the phone with difficulty, ready to answer the call.
