Chapter 781: The Mermaid (44)
The variety show director is really laid-back; he doesn't let us do anything. It's easy to get bored if we're not careful, and the audience might not like watching it. So Wen Wan suggested we go for a walk in the village. The two of them left the room. The air in the village was fresh, and the scenery was beautiful. It didn't have the artificiality and industrialism of big cities. Most of it maintained its original ecological state with green mountains and clear waters.
Gu Chuan held Wen Wan's hand.
Wen Wan's hands were small, just big enough to fit into Gu Chuan's large hands. Wen Wan's heartbeat was sometimes fast and sometimes normal, it was all according to her mood. Whenever she thought of Gu Chuan, her heartbeat would become unbalanced.
"System, if this is for acting, don't you think it's a bit too much?"
System: [What do you mean by "excessive"? To the audience, this is just pure romance, okay? The other guests have kissed several times, but you haven't even kissed once, just holding hands and you call that "excessive"?]
Wen Yan: "..."
"Does your system forbid the host from dating? Especially with the male lead?"
System: [There's no such rule, and many hosts deliberately date the male lead to complete their missions. What, you've fallen for him?]
There is indeed such a rule. After all, not every host is like their own host. The male protagonist they meet in each world is the same person. Developing feelings for someone is very risky. Many hosts have broken down, which has affected the progress of their missions.
Therefore, the Book Administration Bureau generally prohibits hosts from dating.
But Wen Wan is different, so she can naturally ignore this unspoken rule.
Wen Wan: "I don't know, but I think it will be soon, after all, he is really too good-looking."
system:【……】
People who are obsessed with appearances are just that simple and unreasonable.
Passing by the house of the movie star and actress, the two were drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard. Wen Wan greeted them and learned that neither of them knew how to cook, so she invited them to come and eat at her house.
So in the end, Lin Qingya suggested that they make it at home.
After all, electricity is more convenient here, so Wen Wan agreed and then continued to wander around the village.
The villagers were all very hospitable, and Wen Wan was good at chatting with everyone. Before long, Gu Chuan was carrying a lot of mountain produce, including half a pound of pork.
The children surrounded Wen Wan and Gu Chuan, chattering away.
The boys surrounded Gu Chuan, asking, "Are you really a general? Have you ever fought in a war?"
"When I grow up, I want to join the army, enter the top military academy, and become a general."
"What do the Zerg look like? Are they really that scary?"
"..."
Gu Chuan answered gently, saying that these children would likely become the country's strongest support in the future. Gu Chuan always had a unique tenderness towards children.
Wen Wan really liked Gu Chuan because of this quality; he was different from his usual self.
That makes it even more appealing.
"Will you come to play during the evening rituals?" the child asked.
Wen Wan looked at the crew members, who explained, "This village has ancient sacrificial festivals that have been passed down for thousands of years. That's why our crew chose to film here; there are so many things from ancient times preserved here."
Wen Wan: "Of course we'll go."
This must be a lot of fun.
Afterwards, Wen Wan told the news to the two movie stars, and happened to run into Qi Haoxuan and Liu Xiyue, who were visiting the movie star's house. The two were also very interested in the sacrificial festival.
And after learning that Wen Wan and Gu Chuan were cooking together with the movie stars, they also wanted to work together.
"Neither Haoxuan nor I are good at cooking."
Wen Wan: "Sure! But you'll need to provide ingredients and help."
Liu Xiyue: "Of course, I will try my best."
Finally, for some reason, the CEO's family also arrived. However, when Wen Wan looked at Chen Chuhong, the latter looked tired and her face was somewhat pale.
"Is Sister Chu Hong alright?"
Chen Chuhong: "It's nothing, I just changed locations and didn't sleep well last night."
Li Lin put his arm around Chen Chuhong and said, "If you sleep with me tonight, you'll definitely sleep well."
Wen Yan: "..."
Do all CEOs have their own set of domineering quotes? Is it something you can't escape?
Looking at Chen Chuhong, her symptoms didn't seem like those of insomnia. The system checked her and found something was wrong.
System: [Chen Chuhong has injuries.]
Wen Wan: "Domestic violence?"
System: [This looks like it. What do you want to do?]
Wen Wan: "I'll help if I can, but only if Chen Chuhong wants me to help. After all, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. If the other party is willing, then there's nothing I can do."
Lunchtime arrived quickly.
Wen Wan played with the children on the side, Gu Chuan was the head chef, and the others helped. Although the actress was not good at cooking, she was still very good at washing vegetables. The actor washed the dishes on the side, Chen Chuhong helped Gu Chuan cook, and Qi Haoxuan and Liu Xiyue did not want to do it, but they had no choice because their cooking skills were really not good.
Cooking can be a great highlight, but if you're not good at it, you're not good at it, and it's not something you can master in a day or two.
As for the domineering CEO, he was wiping Chen Chuhong's sweat on the side.
Actually, he mainly didn't want to touch those dirty things.
Looking at Wen Wan to the side, Li Lin's gaze towards her carried a hint of hidden malice.
Such an innocent person evokes a strong urge to destroy.
Chen Chuhong was like that back then, but now she can no longer satisfy herself.
What a pity, why did it have to be one of Gu Chuan's people?
He could get whatever he wanted by any means, but he dared not provoke Gu Chuan.
Wen Wan had no idea that she was being coveted.
While teasing the cats and dogs, she was suddenly pounced on by a mischievous child and almost fell over.
"King of the Kids" is a playboy or "people-pleaser" for short.
Gu Chuan, who was cooking in the kitchen, occasionally saw this through the window and a smile appeared on his lips.
Chen Chuhong: "The general really liked Wen Wan. She was so lucky."
Gu Chuan: "It's not that she's lucky, it's that I'm lucky. It's my greatest fortune that she can be with me."
Chen Chuhong: "..."
"Then the general must protect Wen Wan and keep her happy and innocent forever."
Gu Chuan: "Yes, we will."
Looking at Chen Chuhong, she said, "You are too."
It was a seemingly random sentence, but Chen Chuhong felt as if she had been seen through in that instant.
"I am very happy now."
But only Chen Chuhong herself knew what she was really thinking. Looking at Wen Wan, she seemed to see her younger self, feeling envious and longing to go back to that time. She must have...
She looked at her husband and noticed his strange gaze. Then she looked over and saw Wen Wan.
Chen Chuhong was surprised, her expression twisting for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure, pretending not to know.
Sure enough, Wen Wan was the kind of girl Li Lin liked the most. I hope Li Lin doesn't do anything, or he will be punished. However, Chen Chuhong had a strange thought in her heart: if Li Lin really provoked Wen Wan, would that allow her to escape?
