I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 164: What Is Going On With You

This house was something she had been looking at online for a long time back when she was still in Yun City. After asking a friend, she carefully chose it.

At that time, she had just graduated not too long ago. Her work was not performing well, and it was far from her ideal goal. She was at a low point, unable to write, and had no choice but to tell her readers she wanted to take a break for two months.

But then one day, the platform suddenly contacted her saying that someone wanted to buy one of her works.

It was the first piece of good news she received during that time. She packed up and worked as a screenwriter with a crew for a month. Just after returning, she received another piece of good news — her variety show script was also bought.

In the midst of feeling unfulfilled and ecstatic, she poured a lot of emotion into this house. Every bowl and dish, every cushion and carpet, the little decorations in the bathroom, and the pretty vase in the living room were all carefully chosen at the mall by her.

Especially, it was in this place that she got to know Cheng Zhirang better, watched cartoons sitting cross-legged with little Chengcheng on the couch, fainted and was taken to the hospital by Cheng Zhirang, and created lots of brilliant inspirational snippets in a carefully chosen corner...

What a pity.

She shook her head again and sighed.

Cheng Zhirang softly hummed, his gaze reassuring, "Shall we go then?"

"Okay."

Chen Song watched as they ended their conversation as if no one else was there. As they were about to leave, he reached out to stop them.

"Wait a minute," Chen Song frowned deeply, his eyes like an eagle’s as he scrutinized them again, "What are you planning to do?"

"She can no longer stay here."

"I know this place is no longer safe to live in, but why are you the one holding her suitcase, planning to apologize and safely send her to a place under your name?"

Cheng Zhirang’s eyebrows moved slightly, but he said nothing.

Chen Song chuckled in disbelief, "Don’t tell me you actually have this idea. Gentlemanly is not done like this and hasn’t there been enough gossip already? Do you want the media to write that you’re keeping a mistress in a remote house?"

"Sister Chen," Mu Qiu didn’t like hearing people talk to Cheng Zhirang like that. She stepped out from behind him, lightly frowning, "I am not planning to stay in a place under his name; he’s just sending me downstairs. Considering I’m completely the victim here, providing such a compensation is not excessive, right?"

She finally felt a little sense of home, and then this house was destroyed like this, she even had to apologize to the landlord later.

Now, having their team find her a relatively safe place and send her there safely to prevent any crazy fans from coming, isn’t too much, is it?

Chen Song crossed his arms and faced her, "We can compensate you reasonably, but I hope you understand, you both are at the center of the storm, and it’s best not to be seen together."

"I understand, so he’s only sending me to the ground floor. As long as the team works with intention, publicizing my issue to show you’ve compensated is also possible..."

"Alright, it’s fine." A gentle voice came from above her head, Cheng Zhirang’s hand gently rested on top of her head.

Mu Qiu immediately calmed down, her attitude softened, and she lightly rubbed against his palm with her head.

Chen Song’s eyelids twitched at the sight, and the sensitivities belonging to a manager of a popular star returned.

"You two, what’s really going on?"

———

Chen Song was nearly going crazy.

While rumors of "Cheng Zhirang and Mu Qiu secretly married and had children" were flying outside, the two of them, who originally had nothing to do with each other, actually got together!

How did they get together?!

Besides interacting on that show once and the hospital visit, they had no time to spend together, so how did love just spring up?!

She directly pointed at the two and scolded, saying they were crazy.

"I think you two are crazy! The clarification just went out, saying you two have nothing to do with each other, and now you’re telling me you’re for real?!"

Cheng Zhirang stood in front of Mu Qiu, shielding her from Chen Song’s stern gaze.

Even now, he maintained a gentle and composed demeanour, speaking in a voice that did not rise, neither hurried nor slow,

"I haven’t posted on Weibo yet."

Chen Song: "So you plan to post on Weibo now to announce you are together? Cheng Zhirang, you must be crazy! Just posting false news made the fans so extreme, and if you announce it, it would just get crazier!"

It’s not that she disliked Mu Qiu as a person; after all, Mu Qiu had helped take care of Chengcheng. Still, what they did was really imprudent.

Cheng Zhirang remained unfazed, "I know. I didn’t say I would announce it immediately. We’ll take it step by step, letting them gradually accept the news. I don’t want to keep hiding it from them. If it weren’t for this exposure, as an actor who only presents works, dating wouldn’t cause a big stir."

As he said to Li Yang on the show before, he is an actor whose job is to present works for the fans, and he’s thirty now, his fans won’t oppose him dating too much.

After all, there are fans who are always urging him to marry soon and go on a parent-child show with kids.

For him, the only condition is whether he wants to, and whether that person exists or not.

Now that person has appeared.

So he follows his heart.

He made a good point, and Chen Song calmed down in the unhurried tone of his voice.

Now that they are together, they can’t just break them up immediately, right?

Given the situation, her top priority is to figure out how to avoid the greatest loss and minimize the impact.

She rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache.

In all her time as Cheng Zhirang’s manager, except at the beginning of his career, she hadn’t dealt with issues this tricky, until now.

A long-lost headache.

"Alright," she backed down, "Given how you confirmed your relationship and had time to discuss all this in such a short time, I’m quite impressed."

Mu Qiu fiddled with her fingers, clutching the tissue Cheng Zhirang just handed her.

Actually, thinking back, she was quite impressed with herself too.

It seemed as if she effortlessly pulled the light off the pedestal.

"But," Chen Song took a deep breath and continued, "Can you tell me what the first step is now? The online scene is a mess; nobody knows which way the public opinion might suddenly shift."

"Especially Mu Qiu, her safety cannot even be guaranteed."

"I’ll take responsibility for her safety," Cheng Zhirang said, "There’s a property over in Yishan."

"So you really plan on hiding a beauty in a secluded house?"

"It’s the safest place. Beyond that, there’s only the Half Mountain Villa."

"Stop. Just Yishan. It’s not known yet that you have property in Yishan. What about the other things?"

Mu Qiu stepped forward, "We’ll be careful on the show."

Cheng Zhirang turned back, and his hand lightly patted the top of her head, their heights making this an aptly tender gesture.

"I’ll send the Weibo post to you first, Sister Chen, to review, and then it will be posted. We’ll take it slow and natural on the show, as the director mentioned, there are no predetermined teaming lists latter on."

"...Alright," Chen Song’s heart ached, "We can talk more once you send her over and then come to the studio."

"Remember, don’t let the paparazzi catch you."
