Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 146

Lin Hong, who was drinking tea at the time, almost sprayed his tea all over Xue Nan Jing, who was sitting across from him, doing his homework.

Lin Hong jumped up and shouted at Xue Wu, “Are you two moving in together?!”

Xue Nan Jing immediately put down his pen, focusing intently on Lin Hong’s words.

Did his brother finally make progress? Was he finally going to have a sister-in-law?

Just the previous night, he had messaged to tease his brother about his failed confession, and now his brother had successfully moved in with his sister-in-law. He really was his brother!

As soon as Lin Hong finished shouting, Xue Wu hung up the phone, leaving no room for him to continue. Lin Hong was so annoyed he almost choked, forcefully putting down his teacup, saying to Xue Nan Jing, “You stay here. I’m going to deliver things to your brother.”

Xue Nan Jing obediently nodded, feeling delighted.

On the way to Ruan Qiu’s house, Lin Hong immediately called Sister Lin to tell her about Ruan Qiu and Xue Wu moving in together.

Sister Lin, unfazed, said, “Mm, I know. Ruan Ruan told me. Your artist is shamelessly insisting on living in my Ruan Ruan’s house.”

“Why are you panicking? Ever since you let Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu interact, you should have known this day would come eventually. They might even get married in the future, and you’ll still need to go to their wedding with me. I don’t know why you’re so flustered now,” Sister Lin said, sounding somewhat dissatisfied.

Sister Lin felt as if she had nurtured a tender little cabbage only to have it be taken by a pig. Although this pig was worth over a hundred million and was beloved by many, she still felt uncomfortable.

Lin Hong grabbed his hair, his momentum weakened significantly, and he mumbled, “But he should at least discuss it with me in advance.”

“What business is it of yours what those young people do?” Sister Lin’s voice rose slightly. “Are you saying my Ruan Ruan isn’t good enough for your Emperor Xue ?”

“No, no, no, that’s not what I mean,” Lin Hong hurriedly explained. “I’m just afraid that if the two of them get caught by paparazzi…”

“What if they do?” Sister Lin said dismissively. “Given the current online sentiment, if they really get exposed for living together, do you believe that this couple, who everyone’s rooting for, will not receive everyone’s blessings? Besides, aren’t they both looking to retire now? Getting married wouldn’t affect their careers; why are you worrying so much?”

Lin Hong: …That makes a lot of sense.

He fell silent immediately.

When he arrived at Ruan Qiu’s home, Lin Hong handed over the things he packed up to him. He took a glance at Ruan Qiu, then deeply looked at Xue Wu, feeling a pang of pain as if he were sending off a prized golden pig, before turning to leave.

Ruan Qiu watched Xue Wu packing his things in the guest room, knowing he planned to stay there long-term and reluctantly accepted the reality.

Speaking of which, it seemed she hadn’t responded to Xue Wu’s confession yet.

…So why did they skip so many steps and move in together?

That evening, Sister Lin came to deliver the new season’s clothing from K Family. She looked at Xue Wu, who was comfortably lounging on the sofa as if he were in his own home, huffed softly, and turned to Ruan Qiu with a pleasant smile, saying, “This martial arts variety show is being filmed tomorrow afternoon and will be live-streamed to prevent any tampering. I’ve already told them you’re a guest and can bring your own clothes. Pick out which outfit you think is more suitable.”

While Ruan Qiu was choosing her outfit, Xue Wu said to Sister Lin, “Sister Lin, I’ll take Ruan Ruan to participate in the variety show tomorrow.”

Sister Lin’s brows rose in surprise.

Was he really calling her Ruan Ruan now??

Meanwhile, Ruan Qiu, who was selecting clothes, paused for a moment, raised her hands to touch her ears, pretending she hadn’t heard Xue Wu’s address and continued to focus on choosing.

Sister Lin had originally wanted to tease Xue Wu a bit, asking if such a big star like him had so much free time that he was willing to be Ruan Ruan’s driver. But seeing Ruan Qiu’s slightly flushed ears next to him, she felt a lump in her throat and shot a glare at Xue Wu. “Fine, you take her.”

As night fell, Ruan Qiu and Xue Wu bid each other goodnight and returned to their respective rooms.

She was still a bit unaccustomed to having another person in her home, but the feeling wasn’t unpleasant; rather, it felt faintly warm.

On the other side, Xue Wu lay down in the room separated from Ruan Qiu by just a wall, feeling content.

Both of them slept soundly that night, unaware of how restless the people from the Qin family were, watching the empty house at Xue Wu’s place.

———

“Will she really come?” Zheng Jiu couldn’t help but ask the staff again.

“She will,” the staff replied. “Ruan Ruan, I mean, Ruan Qiu is very trustworthy.”

The staff nodded at Zheng Jiu and returned to their guest seat, thinking to themselves how close they came to revealing their identity as Ruan Qiu’s fan.

They casually opened Weibo and checked the announcement released the previous day about Ruan Qiu participating in the show. With Ruan Qiu’s retweet, many people expressed their anticipation, and the hype immediately rose significantly.

As the agreed time approached, Zheng Jiu grew increasingly anxious.

When he was about to confirm with the staff again if Ruan Qiu was coming, a sudden commotion erupted outside.

In the next moment, Ruan Qiu appeared in front of everyone, wearing wide-leg trousers and a button-up top, all in a light green outfit.

Her hair was styled in a high ponytail, with a few stray strands falling over her forehead, adding a playful touch, making her elegant outfit with subtle bamboo leaf elements even more stylish.

She followed the staff and approached Zheng Jiu, politely shaking his hand. “Mr. Zheng, hello.”

Zheng Jiu nervously wiped his hand and shook Ruan Qiu’s hand, quickly letting go. “Miss Ruan, hello.”

Even after Ruan Qiu sat down in the waiting area and listened to the staff explain the program’s process, Zheng Jiu was still hesitating over whether to ask her questions.

But then he thought, since there was a segment in that day’s show related to their family’s traditional martial arts, if Ruan Qiu truly had a connection with their family, they would probably recognize it immediately.

With a nervous heart, the recording of the show officially began.

The live broadcast room was suddenly flooded with a large number of Ruan Qiu’s fans, as well as many foreign netizens who entered through links shared by kind-hearted people on the outside. The barrage of comments in various languages flew across the screen, causing the live room’s administrator to break into a sweat.

This martial arts variety show was organized by the Martial Arts Association itself, and even the host was from within the association. They had never anticipated so many viewers. The host, looking at the overflowing comments on the big screen, stuttered for a moment before nervously introducing that day’s program process.
