Chen Yao is the white moonlight in Huo Ling's heart. This emotional entanglement has long been a hot topic of discussion among people after dinner. Like an enduring soap opera, it always arouses people's endless curiosity and speculation.
Now, this long-forgotten past was ruthlessly brought to the surface, and Naronglan's face suddenly became ugly, as if a scar that he didn't want to show to others was revealed.
She feigned composure, but it was hard to hide the jealousy surging in her heart. "Who said I minded? Everyone has a past? At least now I'm the one marrying Huo Ling. I'm the legitimate Mrs. Huo. What should I mind?"
As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of unwillingness and provocation.
Song Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes seemed to be able to see through all hypocrisy and disguise, "Since you don't mind, then why do you always target me? You are right, the past should be left in the past. Do I have to live in the shadow of the past?"
Her words were sharp yet graceful, leaving Naronglan speechless for a moment.
The pressure of this verbal battle returned to Naronglan again, and this time she seemed really stumped by the question.
She was silent for a moment, as if looking for the right words to deal with the awkward situation, but in the end she chose silence.
At this moment, the host stepped in to smooth things over and cleverly shifted the topic to the next challenge.
"Now, we have ten guests left. We will be issuing a new challenge. Now that the guests have a shelter as their temporary home, the next step is to procure some specific food ingredients. The task cards have been distributed to all guests. Please complete the task according to the instructions on your task card. After three days, the person who collects the least food ingredients will be eliminated."
As the host finished speaking, the debate about the past came to a temporary end.
The new challenge instantly shifted everyone's attention, and the guests opened their task cards and read them carefully. Na Ronglan also took the opportunity to get rid of the embarrassment she had just felt. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself, and then devoted herself to the next task.
Song Jiao, on the other hand, looked confident of victory. She elegantly adjusted her clothes and then walked towards the designated direction of the mission. Her steps were firm and powerful, as if she had already seen the dawn of victory.
The other guests were also busy, either fighting alone or in groups, all hoping to come out on top in this challenge. After all, no one wanted to be the one to be eliminated.
Huo Ling stared at Song Jiao's indifferent expression on the show, and it seemed as if a trickle of water quietly passed away in his heart, taking away something important.
Ever since the car accident, he was keenly aware that the woman's feelings for him seemed to have disappeared and no longer existed.
He was extremely anxious and decided to take a helicopter overnight to the deserted island where the program was recorded.
On the premise of ensuring that he would not be filmed by the program crew, he quietly came to the top of the cliff and successfully entered the secret cave with the help of the rescue team.
When Song Jiao saw the man suddenly appear in front of her and the camera was turned off, she instantly understood what had happened.
She gestured casually to the empty space nearby and said, "Please go ahead, Mr. Huo. It seems a little inappropriate for you to come to me instead of accompanying your lovely wife."
Huo Ling's brows furrowed slightly, his voice revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness. "Chen Yao, why are you always so stubborn? I've already told you that my marriage to Zhang Yurou was just to appease my parents, and there's no real love between us. But why are you always unwilling to believe me? And why do you keep asking me for a divorce?"
Song Jiao sneered, her eyes filled with mockery and disdain, "What? Do you still want me to be your secret lover for the rest of my life?"
Huo Ling sat on the stone, his posture casual and confident. He didn't seem to take Song Jiao's ridicule seriously. Instead, he made an astonishing offer. "If you're willing, it's not impossible. If you promise to stay with me, I can give you three million a month."
However, Song Jiao was not swayed by his offer. She smiled contemptuously, "Oh! Three million? Who do you think I am? Zhang Yurou?"
"My pay is higher than yours! If you're feeling mentally unstable, go to the hospital and get your head checked out!"
Looking at Song Jiao's disdainful expression, Huo Ling felt an indescribable irritation in his heart.
He seemed to have never been so frustrated. Whether in business or love, he had always been at ease and in control of the overall situation.
However, at this moment, in this simple cave, facing this woman whom he loved deeply but could not understand, he felt helpless for the first time.
"What? You think I can't afford a higher price?" Huo Ling tried to use money to prove his sincerity and strength. He knew it was tacky, but at the moment he couldn't care less. "Five million, ten million, as long as you ask, as long as I, Huo Ling, can afford it, I'll give it to you."
When Song Jiao heard what Huo Ling said, she felt a sneer in her heart.
She looked at the man in front of her who was corrupted by money and power, and suddenly felt sad for the original owner.
Everything, but now he uses money to measure their feelings, which makes her feel extremely disgusted.
"Huo Ling, 100 million a month, as long as you pay..." Song Jiao's tone suddenly became cold and sharp, "As long as you agree, I will be your little lover, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Ling couldn't help but stand up. "One hundred million? Chen Yao, you can go a little overboard! Why don't you just rob me?"
Song Jiao chuckled, "You don't want to give me money, but you still want me to be your lover? A toad wanting to eat swan flesh—that's a nice thought!"
"You...you..." Huo Ling talked for a long time without saying a word.
"Enough of your bullshit, you can get out now!"
After Song Jiao finished speaking, she turned around and lay down on the big rock, no longer paying any attention to Huo Ling.
He knew that this man would lose face and leave on his own!
Sure enough, someone came to pick him up after a while.
In the next three days, the entire show was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.
In order to find specific ingredients, the guests had to travel through dense jungles, climb steep mountains, and even various places.
Every challenge tests their courage, wisdom,
With her keen observation and excellent judgment, Song Jiao found the key clues at critical moments time and time again and successfully collected all the ingredients.
Her performance impressed everyone and also made Naronglan feel unprecedented pressure.
Naronglan showed her perseverance in this challenge.
Although she had some gaffes in the previous segment, she performed very well in this task.
Not only did she successfully find all the designated ingredients, she also helped other guests who were in trouble, winning everyone's respect and recognition.
Na Ronglan knew that now was the time to establish his character.
