The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 155.3

Wilderness Winner was a variety show that was definitely the dark horse of the year and the breakout hit of the year. Everyone knew that if Su Jin hadn’t held up the entire show, it wouldn’t have had the explosive buzz it currently was under.

The ensuing interview invitations rushed into Fang Xie’s work mailbox like snowflakes. Su Jishi became busy every day, and one night, when she and her sister were halfway through a video call, she felt dog-tired that she directly dozed off.

Su Jinqing was so distressed that she simply called Fang Xie and asked him to arrange less work for her sister.

Fang Xie said helplessly, “Ancestor! You’ve only left the entertainment industry for a few months. How come you’ve forgotten that you came through the same way back then?”

Su Jinqing retorted, “I was trying to earn money quickly while I was still popular for my mom’s treatment, but my sister doesn’t need all this fame again now. Keeping her healthy is the most important thing. I don’t want her to return sick to the United States for her studies.”

“…” Fang Xie could only agree.

Fang Xie asked, “Have you watched the Wilderness Winner?”

“Yeah. It’s just that the signal here in Kakadu is so bad that I intermittently just finished watching the first episode,” Su Jinqing said with a smile. Presently, she had shed off her worries and gradually exhibited the happiness that women of her age deserved. “So that’s what my sister’s working condition is like, ah…In fact, I’m quite regretful that I wasn’t able to follow my sister out of the field once. Now that I saw how powerful she is on screen, it’s still a dream come true.”

Fang Xie: “In fact, this variety show was handed over at the beginning of last year, but it just caught up with your mother…I thought you probably weren’t in the mood to take part in a variety show, plus it doesn’t suit your route, so I declined it. I didn’t expect things to go round and round, and finally ended up with Sister Su.”

“No,” Sister Jinqing said proudly, “My sister made this show possible.”

“…Okay,” Fang Xie laughed. She was indeed a sister. From her tone alone, it was obvious that she was even more proud than when she got the best newcomer award.

Before the third episode of the show was broadcasted, the Wilderness Winner program group was about to set off again. This time, their destination wasn’t abroad, but the magnificent rivers and mountains in Northwest China.

The day before the trip, the program group saw fit to arrange a magazine group interview for the five artists.

The magazine belonged to the largest fashion media publishing group in China, and their headquarters was located in the center of the CBD. With a height of 38 floors, the building housed 14 sub-publications in three categories.

At 2pm, Su Jin’s nanny car arrived at the building’s parking lot on time and was immediately greeted by the waiting staff with a friendly but not overly attentive attitude.

Someone somehow leaked the artists’ work schedule, because the section from the parking lot to the main entrance of the building was surrounded by fans. Thanks to the security guards, Su Jishi was able to barely squeeze out of the heavy siege on her own legs.

It was also a coincidence that Qin Qiu’s nanny car was the second to pull over into the parking lot. He walked fast with long legs and quickly caught up with Su Jishi. However, instead of walking alongside her, he stayed one step behind, walking behind her.

He was simply showing respect for Su Jin, but in the eyes of the fans present, it had another layer of meaning!

You know, in the content released by the show presently, every time Su Jin and Qin Qiu carried out a mission together, it was Su Jin who led the way and Qin Qiu who followed her faithfully. What did it mean? This showed a clever little puppy secretly loving the mature big sister. This meant, My dear, fly slowly over this mortal world, and I will follow you forever!!!

The place was packed, and a suppressed scream burst out of nowhere —— “Play with Fire CP is real!”

Once this statement made it out, a series of heated whispering discussions instantly erupted in the back row of the crowd.

Su Jishi’s psychological quality was outstanding. She maintained her smile, but turned a deaf ear to it despite hearing it; Qin Qiu, however, lacked practice. He knew that his own team had been riding on Su Jin’s fame, but because of embarrassment, he instantly turned red from the neck to the root of his ears.

Now, it looked more like the two people have some kind of unspeakable relationship.

—— Why is he blushing? It can’t be that he’s glowing!

Seeing this picture, the fans that were crowding around them were even more excited. Who could keep their sanity when they were in close contact with their idols? Everyone wanted to get closer to their idol. The crowd in the back row squeezed toward the front row, and the front row squeezed through the security. Hence, Su Jishi was completely pushed forward by the surging crowd.

Xiao Xia, Ashan and Fang Xie had been squeezed to somewhere, and in her haste, she paid no attention to the road under her feet.

All of a sudden, her left foot hit a raised floor tile. She lost her balance and immediately floundered sideways!

Qin Qiu’s pupils who followed behind her shrank sharply, but someone else got to her faster than him ——

—— A pair of bony palms stretched out from the side and steadily wrapped around Su Jishi’s shoulders.

The girl’s tall figure crashed into a hot embrace, and the man embraced her, carrying her up in the crowd.

The cold white pine fragrance shot to Su Jishi’s face. She froze for a moment, and the noise in her ears seemed to have vanished in that moment, leaving only a world that could accommodate them.

She didn’t know how long had passed —— Perhaps the time it took a butterfly to flap its wings, or perhaps the length it took a clock to complete a cycle, when Su Jishi finally amassed enough strength to command herself.

She stood firm holding onto the man’s arm and looked up.

The man was a full head taller than her, and looking up from her angle, she could only see the man’s angular chin, and his Adam’s apple that was wrapped under the collar of his white shirt.

She heard herself speaking. Her voice, however, was as soft as a gust of wind: “…Mr. Mu, what are you doing here?”

Shouldn’t Mu Xiulun be working at the company at this time. Why would he be here?

The man chuckled in a low voice. He didn’t deliberately raise his voice, but it was enough to vanquish all other noise.

“—— Miss Su, if I don’t show up, I’m afraid the audience will forget who your CP really is.”

Su Jishi: “…”

Onlooker fans: “……”

The staff at the scene: “……”

Qin Qiu fought an internal war. How he wished he could disappear at the moment —— He almost forgot. Although the program group hyped the Play with Fire CP, the video of Mu Xiulun’s public confession to Su Jin dominated the entertainment roster headlines only two weeks ago!

Stone me, has my team gone out of their minds? Why should I compete with the capitalist Boss, ah!!

The author has something to say:

Boss Mu: Seeing that his (future) girlfriend actually formed a CP with a young and handsome idol, he got so angry he had an urge to buy the young and handsome idol’s company and then hide him somewhere freezing (smile).
