Chapter 320 - You Have To Give Me Something In Return

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Wuwuwu! Can I dream that our ship might come true one day?]

The Xunmeng ship’s popularity was instantly overshadowed by the Fengjiang ship.

Originally, it was only because the fans didn’t dare to make a scene, so the popularity of Xunmeng grew for a while.

But now, Mufeng had personally taken the lead and released a signal, telling the fans not to be afraid.

The fans, who had been secretly watching and had long been holding it back, were suddenly like wild horses out of control, their excitement uncontrollable.

One after another, they updated on the fan page.

[It’s the new year!] The Fengjiang shippers shouted.

“Path of Life” was indeed as Mengyao had expected. It passed the vetting process quickly and the broadcast date was confirmed.

It would be during the Spring Festival, and it would be officially broadcast on the second day of the new year.

“Path of Life” had also entered the pre-broadcast warm-up publicity.

The drama’s publicity team contacted the currently popular escape room variety show, “Find A Way Out.” They wanted the five young leads of “Path of Life,” Youlan, Zhang Jian, Jiang Xun, Mengyao, and Shao Yuxi to promote “Path of Life” on the show.

Li Zhengqin, who played Youlan’s husband, was a permanent member of “Find A Way Out,” so he was the one who cued the show’s publicity.

In order to cooperate with the publicity team of the drama, Jiang Xun also agreed to participate.

“But Huo Mengyao will be there too,” Yicheng said. “It’s really hard for you to reject this promotion. You clearly have free time but if you didn’t participate, you’ll be labeled as uncooperative in the industry. It won’t be good for you.”

“I’m fine. Why should I be the one hiding from Huo Mengyao?” Jiang Xun wasn’t afraid. I’ll just stay away from him when the time comes. If he still dares to use me on the show, he’ll be the one who’ll be embarrassed.

Jiang Xun had been tolerating him for a long time for the sake of the drama.

She was now rubbing her fists and wiping her palms, waiting for the show to end.

Thanks to Director Guo and Scriptwriter Yu, the show passed the vetting process and was scheduled very quickly, so she didn’t have to tolerate Mengyao for too long.

“Alright, I’ll contact the publicity team then,” Yicheng said. “The production team will also come over to share some of the content with us. They will also try not to touch on things that are more taboo for the guests. I’ll tell the production team not to cue you and Huo Mengyao as a couple.”

There were some leaks in the WeChat voice chat. Mufeng, who was beside Jiang Xun, heard the contents of the call clearly.

“You’re going on the show with Huo Mengyao?”

“It’s not like it’s just us. There are also other main leads and regular guests on the show,” Jiang Xun explained. “At most, I’ll endure it until the show is over. It’ll be quick.”

Mufeng felt that he was about to become a ninja turtle.

“You want me to watch another man be shipped with you, and you want me to endure it?” Mufeng held onto Jiang Xun’s waist.

“Then what do you want?” Jiang Xun kicked his calf in annoyance. “You don’t have time to go to variety shows.”

He was a big CEO, and he had to work overtime until three o’clock every time he visited her at work.

Where would he find the time to record a variety show?

Previously, he had participated in two variety shows to chase her, and that was probably his limit.

Thinking about it this way, Mufeng must have spent a lot of effort to chase her.

Jiang Xun could not help but feel proud.

She was worth it!

Mufeng narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Xun amusedly. He did not know what Jiang Xun was thinking about, but she was acting all high and mighty like a peacock with its head held high.

“You have to give me something in return so that I can endure it.” Mufeng’s hot palm was placed on the back of her waist and he pressed her into his arms. His other hand was pressed on the sofa, forcing her to the corner of the sofa.

His hot breath had a faint scent of cedar in it, baking the corner of her lips.

Jiang Xun couldn’t help but lean back. However, the back of the sofa completely blocked her way.

Jiang Xun swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She saw Mufeng’s profiteering side and asked uncertainly, “What do you want in return?”

“For example,” Mufeng leaned forward and pressed her back with his palm, pulling her into his arms.

“Wu…”

The next day, Jiang Xun, whose muscles were sore, knew all too well what benefits Mufeng wanted.

She laughed coldly. After the show was over, she was going to teach Mengyao a lesson!

She really didn’t expect that it would be more tiring than fighting zombies in the apocalypse.

The variety show “Find A Way Out” was recorded in Hangcheng.

Jiang Xun left a day earlier and arrived in Hangcheng with Xin’an.

This variety show was also produced by Feng Videos, and it adopted a livestream + webcast + star mode.

Just like “Accelerated Flight” and “Rural Distant,” it was first livestreamed, then the actual show would be co-broadcasted on Feng Videos and Donghua TV Station.

However, Jiang Xun didn’t know the director of the variety show this time. He was from another variety show production team of Feng Videos.

In recent years, Feng Videos’ variety shows had been doing very well, and almost every one of them had become popular.

It could be seen that the competition between the variety production teams in Feng Videos was very intense.

Jiang Xun thought that they were only here to record a variety show for two days. During the recording, the production team would arrange vehicles for them to travel to and from the hotel and the recording location.

Jiang Xun and Xin’an only needed to use their own car to go to and from the airport, so they did not need Fei Boliang to follow them.

On the way from the airport to the hotel, Jiang Xun searched the food map of Hangcheng.

Hangcheng’s food was light, but Jiang Xun had never been a picky eater.

As long as it wasn’t particularly bad, she could accept any flavor.

Therefore, Jiang Xun chose a restaurant based on the restaurant’s rating and the customers’ comments.

At night, she dragged Xin’an out to eat.

After they finished eating, they walked out of the restaurant and saw a snack street not far away.

Jiang Xun dragged Xin’an from the start of the snack street to the end of the street. She was holding takeaway bags in her hands, but her mouth was busy eating.

Jiang Xun had packed everything she needed for midnight snacks.

Xin’an’s stomach was so full that she couldn’t eat any supper.

She was carrying bags of various sizes for Jiang Xun.

The two of them returned to the hotel. At the entrance, they saw Mengyao standing there as if he was waiting for someone.

Jiang Xun frowned and her face turned cold.

Mengyao saw her and waved at her in joy. “Jiang Xun!”

It wasn’t enough for him to just shout, he even ran directly towards her.

Jiang Xun couldn’t even pretend she didn’t see him.

The productionn team’s guests were all in this hotel.

Each guest had many fans waiting for them.

After Mengyao’s shout, not only Mengyao and Jiang Xun’s fans, but the fans of the other guests and passersby also raised their phones to take pictures.

“You two haven’t had dinner yet?” Mengyao glanced at the bags of food in Jiang Xun and Xin’an’s hands and thought that they hadn’t eaten yet. He smiled charmingly. “Why did you order takeout? I was going to invite you to have dinner with me.”
