Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 150

“I’m very grateful for so many people liking me,” Ruan Qiu thought for a moment and continued, “But I hope everyone can like me rationally and not let me affect your normal lives. Please live well.”

[Huh? Does Ruan Qiu have some misunderstanding about herself?]

[This is hilarious; Ruan Qiu has been saying she wants to be a bystander since the first episode, yet every episode, she’s the main character.]

[Whoa, thinking about it this way, Ruan Qiu does seem to drift outside of love every time. She’s looking for the culprit, finding the mastermind, looking for a way to solve problems… It’s the other guests who keep gravitating toward Ruan Qiu!]

[Huh?! Thanks for the wake-up call! Those people are flirting with Ruan Ruan (here referring to a certain Mr. Xue), but in Ruan Ruan’s heart, her only goal is not to be eliminated!]

[Although Ruan’s words are touching, why does ‘live well’ sound so strange?]

“Now for the second question,” the male host looked at the screen. “The second question comes from [Bouncy Little Bear]. Ruan… When will Ruan Qiu’s next work be released?”

It indeed felt inappropriate for the male host to call Ruan Qiu “Ruan Ruan”, so he switched back to calling her Ruan Qiu.

The “work” in this question clearly referred to a film or drama, since Ruan Qiu was an actress. Although she gained fame from participating in the dating show “Please Fall in Love With Me”, her primary job was still acting, and her fans were eagerly looking forward to her next work.

Ruan Qiu paused for a moment and then carefully replied, “As for films, there’s a Xianxia movie in which I have a cameo that will be released soon.”

The female host then asked, “Are there any other unreleased projects? Or are there any roles you would like to play?”

“No.” Ruan Qiu shook her head. “My contract with the company ends in a month. ‘Please Fall in Love With Me’ is actually my last job. After finishing this dating show, I will quietly retire from the entertainment industry.”

The female host was astonished, her mouth agape, while the bullet comments also froze for a moment, then exploded with intense questions.

[Huh? Why?! No!]

[But Ruan Ruan, you’re so popular now, and you’re still so young. Why don’t you film a few more dramas before leaving?]

[So sudden! Why didn’t Ruan Qiu mention this before?]

[I don’t believe it. Girl, you must be saying this in a moment of anger.]

Many people actually knew that Ruan Qiu’s contract was about to expire, but they assumed she would renew it or start her own studio. After all, Ruan Qiu’s current popularity was not comparable to before, and she could easily land an S-level script, taking her career to a new level and becoming a top star. Yet now she told them she was retiring?!

Sister Lin, who had been watching the live broadcast, quickly switched to Weibo, pulled out a pre-prepared statement, and clicked send to provide an explanation.

Those who noticed Ruan Qiu’s manager’s Weibo naturally saw this post, but they still didn’t understand why Ruan Qiu would choose to retire at the peak. Many began to speculate whether Ruan Qiu had encountered some issues, and among them were some derogatory remarks. However, most of the fans who had just been told by Ruan Qiu to be rational remained calm, observing for the time being and helping to fend off the unwarranted attacks.

At the same time, the Movie Queen system watching the live broadcast immediately said to Cheng Tianya, “Look, Ruan Qiu is about to retire. Don’t do anything foolish!”

Seeing Cheng Tianya remain silent, the system grew anxious, saying, “Anyway, Ruan Qiu is leaving the entertainment industry. What benefit is it to you to harm her? Don’t you really fear being found out?”

Cheng Tianya still did not respond.

The system regretted that it didn’t bind with Ruan Qiu from the start. Now it was too late to do so, and it only hoped that Cheng Tianya would not be confused any longer and could stop before doing something irreversible.

At the live broadcast scene, the male host was the first to regain his composure. He quickly glanced at the last question selected by the staff. 

“So for the last question for Ruan Qiu, this one comes from [Don’t Give Me Layers]. Can Ruan Qiu explain how her martial arts skills have improved so drastically?”

Finally, they reached the most crucial question of the day, which Ruan Qiu had come to clarify by attending this show. Without much thought, Ruan Qiu replied, “Because I have a good Master. I’ve learned from him for a long time. My Master said my talent isn’t high, but what matters is hard work, so that’s why I’ve made such progress.”

The female host hesitated but still maintained her guiding role, tentatively asking, “How did you come to think about learning martial arts? Was it a hobby?”

“I can’t say it was a hobby.” Ruan Qiu thought for a moment, “I learned martial arts for self-defense. At that time, I encountered, um… some bad things, so I learned. I’m very grateful to my master.”

She remembered her master, Zheng Bahuang, who died in the hellish flames, took a gentle breath, and lowered her head to hide her slightly reddened eyes.

[The ‘bad things’ must refer to the months of online bullying, right? By the way, did those who insulted Ruan Qiu apologize?]

[Ruan Ruan’s eyes are red. Oh, no! My heart aches for her.]

[I think I understand why Ruan Qiu said ‘live well’ before. Enduring the misunderstanding and insults from so many people is not something ordinary people can handle…]

[I’m sorry for my maliciousness, I confess, but every time I think of this matter, I feel Cheng Tianya deserves to die. Why is she still acting as if nothing happened? Who will repay for the grievances Ruan Ruan suffered?]

[It’s bad luck, just so bad. Every time I think about how Cheng Tianya hasn’t retired from the entertainment industry while Ruan Ruan is leaving first, I just get angry; it drives me crazy!]

Cheng Tianya looked at the bullet comments and suddenly let out a low laugh.

The system shivered with fear.

“You—” the system’s code trembled, “don’t be impulsive.”

Cheng Tianya ignored it.

At this moment, only Xue Wu in the audience knew that the “bad thing” Ruan Qiu referred to was the ten years spent in the Infinite Flow World. His heart ached even more, and he decided to take Ruan Qiu out for a good meal after filming.

After the last question, the two hosts knew it was time, politely asking Ruan Qiu to leave the stage. They then turned to the camera, delivering the closing remarks and officially concluding the episode.
