Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 118

The comment section erupted in cheers, praising Ruan Qiu for making everyone proud. Many clamored for Ruan Qiu to be their wife, and more flocked in, joining the fandom, pushing Ruan Qiu’s followers even higher, with no sign of slowing.

Midway, the official account of the Martial Arts Association joined, liking Ruan Qiu’s post and privately asking about her master.

After some thought, Ruan Qiu replied that her master was self-taught, not belonging to any school, and had already passed away.

Her teammate was indeed her master and was indeed dead.

The association might have been shocked by her response or doubted her truthfulness, as they didn’t reply immediately.

Meanwhile, K-family released the full video of the runway, specifically clipping solo segments of Xue Wu, Ruan Qiu, and Jiang Yan, posting them separately on Weibo, tagging each of them.

Those who had just been calling Ruan Qiu their husband immediately switched to calling her their wife after watching her video in the cheongsam, flooding the comments with wild declarations, enough to turn anyone who read too much into a blushing mess.

Ruan Qiu: …

Ruan Qiu received another excited call from Sister Lin, but she explained that she knew a bit of Kung Fu but it wasn’t as magical as everyone said.

This was a normal romance world with no internal energy. She had no infinite flow system backpack, couldn’t walk on walls or water, and could only do basic moves.

Sister Lin calmed down, confirming the K-family contract was fine to sign.

So, Ruan Qiu signed the contract, keeping one copy and handing the other to the waiting K-family staff outside, then returned to the car with Xue Wu to go home.

Receiving the contract and confirming it, Lam smiled in satisfaction, instructing K-family’s social media team to announce Ruan Qiu as their global ambassador while the buzz was hot.

Within two minutes of the announcement, foreign and domestic social media exploded.

There was so much engagement that both foreign platforms and Weibo slowed down, even overshadowing the news of Bai Jinyao unfollowing Cheng Tianya, which would usually dominate the headlines. Cheng Tianya’s new movie, which initially trended due to purchased promotion, was forgotten.

The movie’s PR team looked at each other and quietly held off on buying more trending spots, fearing they’d lose everything amid Ruan Qiu’s overwhelming presence.

When social media resumed normal operations, everyone was busy discussing Ruan Qiu’s ambassadorship. Bai Jinyao and Cheng Tianya’s drama was barely mentioned, though some tried to revive the old feud between Cheng Tianya and Ruan Qiu. However, the news was ignored by netizens who found it distasteful and continued to fervently discuss the global ambassador news.

Many found it unbelievable, initially doubting the truth. After K-family confirmed it, foreign netizens unfamiliar with Ruan Qiu mocked the decision, thinking K-family had gone mad to choose such a minor celebrity. They thought, at least they should have chosen someone like the movie Queen Qin Shuangyu if they wanted to target the Chinese market.

But after watching videos of Ruan Qiu’s sword dance and skills, more than half of them changed their minds, staunchly supporting K-family’s decision and secretly pre-ordering the cheongsam Ruan Qiu wore on the runway.

Keyboard warriors preparing for battle: You surrendered so quickly??

Foreign netizens: We know she’s not that famous, but she knows Kung Fu! Come on, Kung Fu is super cool! If Ruan Qiu showcases Kung Fu every time she endorses a new product, we can reluctantly accept it.

The online arguments didn’t affect Ruan Qiu.

She leaned back in her seat, engrossed in a newly released anime. Beside her, Xue Wu finished reading online comments before lowering the partition. He turned to Ruan Qiu and said, “Ms. Ruan, about the matter between me and Qin Shuwen…”

He paused, initially planning to take Ruan Qiu to a more private restaurant to discuss, but then remembered she didn’t seem to like going out much. She had turned down many of Qi Yingying’s invitations to go out, only hesitating to go out when it was with him.

Not wanting to make Ruan Qiu uncomfortable, he asked, “Where do you think would be convenient to talk?”

What he didn’t know was that Ruan Qiu had already placed him in her safe zone. After several cautious tests, Ruan Qiu had confirmed that as long as she was with Xue Wu, someone outside the plotline, she wouldn’t encounter any danger, no matter where they went.

So, she cheerfully said, “Anywhere is fine.”

Xue Wu glanced at the assistant driving in front, the partition blocking his voice. “Alright, Ms. Ruan, I’ll just talk here then.”

Before Ruan Qiu could say anything, Xue Wu lowered his eyes and continued, “Ms. Ruan, actually, my biological father is still alive.”

“He’s Qin Zhou, Qin Shuwen’s uncle,” Xue Wu said calmly, though his hands gradually clenched tighter. “So, Qin Shuwen and I should be cousins, but the Qin family doesn’t know about this.”

Ruan Qiu blinked in surprise.

She really hadn’t expected this to involve Xue Wu’s background. She had always thought that at most, Xue Wu and Qin Shuwen might have had some minor friction, like getting into a fight after drinking too much…

She noticed Xue Wu tensing up completely as he spoke, his expression hesitant, so she considerately stayed silent, waiting patiently for him to decide whether or not to continue.

After several seconds, Xue Wu spoke softly, “When Qin Zhou was young, he deceived many women. He used promises of marriage to win their love, making them willingly sacrifice for him. My mother was one of them.”

“It’s said the Qin family has a rule to only marry one wife in a lifetime, and their children must be born by this wife,” Xue Wu scoffed. “He used this to deceive people, and my mother believed it wholeheartedly until she discovered Qin Zhou was involved with other women simultaneously.”

“At that time, my mother wasn’t mentally unstable yet. She thought of using a child to bind Qin Zhou, employing some means to get pregnant, then demanding marriage. But Qin Zhou refused and wanted her to abort the baby. She refused, so Qin Zhou pretended to agree to marry her, caring for her on the surface but actually imprisoning her, trying to force her to abort.”

Xue Wu’s eyes darkened. “This is the truth I learned from her notes and the evidence I gathered over the years.”

“Later,” Xue Wu continued, “my mother insisted on keeping the baby. Frustrated, Qin Zhou started creating accidents to make her miscarry. Unable to withstand his schemes, she fell down the stairs and was taken to the hospital. With the help of a doctor, she escaped from the hospital and returned to her old house in the countryside, planning to give birth to me there. At that time, Qin Zhou was called back to the Qin family to manage the company. Hearing from the doctor that the baby was gone, he didn’t bother with my mother anymore.”

“But by then, my mother had severe mental issues.”
