After all, Qin Yun didn’t make a move herself, so she mentioned it to the members of Group A, and they all agreed.

Soon, everyone cleared the dining table and laid out the grilled lamb, braised lamb, yellow stew lamb, and clear stew lamb.

A few people sat around preparing to eat, but when they started to use their chopsticks, they found someone was missing.

Lin Yihan asked, "Where’s Jingjing?"

The staff said, "She said she felt a bit unwell and went back to the hotel first."

Everyone looked at each other, and acting as if nothing happened, they started eating.

Qin Yun ate two pieces of grilled lamb chops, still wanting more.

Pei Yan served her a bowl of lamb soup, only pushing it over to her once it cooled, "Drink some soup, don’t eat too spicy, your stomach might end up uncomfortable."

Qin Yun smiled, and although she drank the soup, she didn’t take Pei Yan’s words to heart, eating more than half of the lamb.

After filming ended and they returned to the villa, she rushed straight to the bathroom, retching so much her waist couldn’t even straighten.

Qin Yun sat on the bathroom floor, dizzy and nauseous, her eyes red with discomfort.

Pei Yan kept patting her back, his face full of concern and self-blame, "Should we call a doctor to take a look?"

Tang Zi frowned and asked, "What did she eat? She was fine yesterday, why is she vomiting like this today?"

"Lamb."

Tang Zi thought for a moment and said, "Then don’t let her eat lamb for a while, to prevent discomfort."

"Hmm."

Pei Yan nodded, indeed, he couldn’t be so lax with her anymore. If she vomits like this a few more times, even if Qin Yun can bear it, he won’t be able to; he’d be worried sick.

Pei Yan handed her water, "Rinse your mouth."

An Yueqian calmly said from outside the door, "This is normal; when I didn’t know I was pregnant, I had no reaction, but once I knew, the reactions came. It was the same when I was pregnant with Chengjin."

Tang Zi was somewhat skeptical and looked up at her, "Really?"

Seeing An Yueqian nod, he could only be half-convinced and reminded Pei Yan with concern, "Pei Yan, keep an eye on her during filming, and don’t let her mess around."

Pei Yan nodded and said to Qin Yun, "Let’s just airfreight the two lambs back, don’t eat them anymore."

Qin Yun was still feeling uncomfortable, so she could only sulkily nod and agree to Pei Yan’s suggestion.

Due to the sudden reaction, Qin Yun became very cautious in the upcoming filming. She wouldn’t participate in intense activities; she used to freely carry things and jump around, but now she behaved like a proper lady.

The entire production team found her change strange.

Rumors started spreading that Qin Yun’s change was entirely because of Jingjing, afraid of being targeted or framed again, so she restrained herself, causing her fans to worry for her.

Although Jingjing wasn’t persuaded to leave the program, in the subsequent filming, her presence was as good as absent, and in the livestream with Zhao Lan, it was almost exclusively Zhao Lan’s fans.

Whenever the livestream started, Zhao Lan’s fans would bitterly criticize Jingjing, saying not only did she harm herself, but she also caused Zhao Lan’s popularity to decline; people who didn’t know the situation would even scold Zhao Lan.

[Jinx, absolute jinx, not only harmed Qin Yun, but also our Zhao Lan. My Brother Zhao filmed peacefully, and Jingjing dragged him down, even though my Brother Zhao did nothing!]

[Exactly, always posing as a rich second-generation heiress, turns out she’s just an unacknowledged illegitimate child. I wonder if her family knows the shameful things she did.]

[How could they not know? I heard some news that Jingjing has lost her chance to return to the Zhao Family completely, and her wealthy father even kicked her mother out, saying if they dared to step into the Zhao Family again, he’d break their legs.]

[Deserved punishment.]

[Tried everything to harm others, ultimately fell victim to her own schemes. The saying ’those who harm others will end up harming themselves’ is spot on.]

[Poor Brother Zhao, once this show’s filming ends, he should visit a temple with good incense and pray to ward off bad luck.]

[Heartache for Brother Zhao.]

Jingjing was so bashed she wished she could immediately leave the program. She discussed with Su Yu, but Su Yu disagreed, telling her to wait until filming is completed. Feeling trapped, she faced everyone’s odd looks daily, feeling thoroughly uneasy.

If she heard even the slightest sound, she was on edge, always feeling everyone was discussing her, calling her shameless. This made her even more sarcastic, leaving all the guests speechless.

Even Zhao Lan, with the best temper, couldn’t stand her. During tasks, he completed everything alone, whether Jingjing was there or not, treating her like she was invisible and unaccepted by anyone.

The more indifferent everyone was to her, the more they took care of Qin Yun.

Qin Yun’s appetite increased; she always felt hungry, constantly thinking about food.

Wang Li secretly brought her snacks daily, and Li Ning would sneak her treats, tentatively asking if An Yueqian had returned home, suggesting to meet up for a meal together.

When Qin Yun was in a good mood, she’d introduce them, helping Li Ning get closer to his idol.

Li Ning was very considerate, treating Qin Yun even better, "Sister Yun, have some water. I’ve asked my assistant to prepare your favorite cake and will send it over in a bit."

His company was still in Country F, but since An Yueqian would eventually return home, he was unwilling to let go.

"Thank you."

Qin Yun, wearing a white sports outfit and flat shoes, with her hair tied into a high ponytail, looked refreshingly like the girl next door.

The assistant quickly bought the cake and delivered it.

During a break, Qin Yun swiftly consumed more than half.

Fruit mousse cake, topped with a layer of local tropical fruits, satisfying with every bite.

Qin Yun indulgently shook her head, thinking it was delicious.

Li Ning looked at Qin Yun somewhat embarrassed, "Sister Yun, I have a question I’d like to ask you."

Qin Yun thought he was again inquiring about An Yueqian, nodded, "Go ahead and ask."

Li Ning eagerly looked at Qin Yun, "Well, I want to ask how you signed with Mr. Pei back then? Are his signing requirements for artists high? If I wanted to sign with his studio, is there any hope?"

The crew had long been sent away under some pretext; this resting area only had Li Ning and Qin Yun, but Li Ning spoke cautiously, not wanting to bring any trouble to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun was surprised, "You want to sign with Pei Yan’s studio?"

Li Ning was developing well in Country F, why suddenly wanting to return home?

He nodded, "Yes, I want to develop back home, my contract is due in a month, but several domestic companies have contacted me, and I haven’t agreed to them. I just wanted to ask if Mr. Pei’s studio is still signing people?"
