Mu Lingxi's voice immediately brought Bo Changling back to his senses.
He didn't even consider his own situation and immediately turned to look for Mu Lingxi.
Bai Mengmeng, fearing discovery, also withdrew her body. To outsiders, it appeared as if the two had been discovered and were pretending to separate.
Just like two people who have been caught having an affair, they will pretend that nothing happened. One second they are full of passion, and the next second they are estranged.
When Bo Changling saw the girl calling him, he was naturally happy. He was completely attracted to Mu Lingxi and didn't notice that someone was doing something naughty.
Therefore, due to Mu Lingxi and Bai Mengmeng's accidental cooperation, Bo Changling was labeled a "scumbag" who "caught between two men".
This title was used until the end of the program.
Much later, Mu Lingxi still used it to cause Bo Changling excruciating pain.
However, that's a story for another time.
Now, as Bo Changling looked at the girl, an overwhelming sweetness welled up in his heart.
Seeing Mu Lingxi made him genuinely happy, and he couldn't see anything else; this seemed to have become an ironclad rule.
"Xi'er, you've come to find me. I was just about to go find you too. We really are on the same wavelength."
The man stood up and strode towards Mu Lingxi. His usually cold and hard face softened, and his icy tone carried an unprecedented joy.
It has to be said that the smile on a man's face when he sees a girl, like the snow-capped peaks of a majestic mountain, is still quite captivating.
Even the most discerning viewers gave him a perfect score of 100 for his looks, making it impossible for them to say anything malicious.
"Hmph, Bo Changling is really a scumbag, but also really handsome. Allow me to be soft-hearted for him for one more second, and I'll start criticizing him in the next second."
"Sigh, the more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to lie. I can see it now. Bo Changling is a big liar, pretending to be so affectionate."
"Exactly, exactly. Did he think Mu Lingxi didn't see it? She saw everything."
Mu Lingxi did see it, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She couldn't understand why Bo Changling and Bai Mengmeng had gotten together.
What's going on?!
Mu Lingxi was a little confused. She didn't have any data on Bai Mengmeng and Bo Changling being together, and nothing had happened between them in her previous life.
However, she wasn't planning to give up on Bo Changling yet, so she spoke up to test his attitude.
"What were you doing just now, having such a pleasant conversation?"
When Mu Lingxi asked this question, she was like a cute little hamster, cautiously probing, afraid of stepping on a landmine.
Especially her exceptionally bright and expressive eyes, which sparkled like starlight, made one's heart soften.
The audience was charmed by her frankness. Why ask so directly? Shouldn't she have probed more indirectly?
"Haha, as expected of the female guest I chose, she doesn't do any of those pretentious things, she just goes straight to the point."
"However, could there be some misunderstanding? Bo Changling didn't seem guilty at all. Is his mental fortitude really that good?"
"That's true, but don't forget Bo Changling's status. With his position, he shouldn't lack women throwing themselves at him, so he's probably used to it, right?"
"Oh my god, I thought I had wronged him, but he really is a scumbag."
Bo Changling's reputation was thus tarnished, while Han's father secretly gained merit and fame behind the scenes. That brat, he had to be dealt with by his father.
That's right, ever since Han Jin used his family's influence to investigate Bo Changling, Han's father has received the news.
He heard that his wife had signed their son up for a variety show, but he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the brat would end up alone. He was even planning to have a second child.
Unexpectedly, Han Jin actually took a liking to a young girl on the show. Although the girl was a bit vain, the Han family didn't care about that.
After all, his son was practically a monk, so any woman coming along would be fine, and Mr. Han would never utter a word of objection.
However, his own son is a bit disappointing. He didn't inherit any of his father's skills and doesn't even know how to pursue a girl. His father has to step in to help him.
Bo Changling's reputation as a scumbag spread far and wide, firmly establishing itself on his head.
Bo Changling is completely unaware of this at the moment. By the time he finds out, public opinion has already taken hold, and it will be too late to change the situation.
Let's leave those things aside for now and get back to the present—
Bo Changling had already walked quickly to Mu Lingxi and heard her question clearly.
His face showed undisguised favoritism; his perpetually icy expression now softened with a smile, melting away the ice and revealing a doting affection.
Even though Mu Lingxi's question was just a simple inquiry, Bo Changling somehow detected a hint of coquetry in it, which softened his heart.
"Just now..."
Bo Changling reflected on his performance just now. Was he happy? Probably not.
But he should be quite happy now. Seeing the girl obediently come to him, he felt as happy as if he had drunk two buckets of honey water.
Uh...we've gone off-topic again.
Bo Changling thought about what he had just done; he seemed to have asked some questions about the small jewelry that girls like and learned about some brands.
He wanted to buy the girl a gift, but he got lost in thought while listening, because he had already decided what to give her next time.
Bo Changling wanted to tell Mu Lingxi the truth, but he didn't want to ruin the surprise, so he gave an ambiguous answer.
"I just asked Bai Mengmeng some questions, what's wrong?"
The man didn't think for long, and his answer was flawless.
But perhaps due to preconceived notions, the audience felt that Bo Changling was making excuses for himself.
"Ha, men, are you perhaps still reminiscing about your intimacy with Bai Mengmeng just now?"
"That's men for you. Even when there's a woman who looks like an angel standing right in front of you, you're thinking about another woman who's inferior to her in every way."
"What a jerk! He even lied. Did he think Mu Lingxi didn't see it? The two of them almost kissed."
"And he clearly concealed some things. Can't he say anything to Bai Mengmeng? He doesn't even treat Mu Lingxi as one of his own."
The audience didn't believe it, and Mu Lingxi was also skeptical, but considering that she didn't want to start a fight with Bo Changling yet, she nodded to indicate that she understood.
"Okay, let's go eat. The food is all ready. Mengmeng, come along too."
Mu Lingxi quickly changed the subject. She knew she couldn't keep things to herself and was afraid that if she continued talking, she would bring these doubts and questions to the surface.
So she simply stopped talking about it, otherwise it would be bad if she let something slip.
Mu Lingxi didn't care whether Bo Changling was lying or not. She already had designs on Bo Changling anyway, so who cared what a tool was thinking?
Uh... get into character, get into character, and don't let anyone see through you.
