Chapter 5: Inviting the Villain to Join the Dating Show
Arriving at the recording venue, the director hurried in, his eyes lighting up when he saw Jiang Mi. When his gaze fell on Gu Chuan, his eyes sparkled like diamonds!
“Jiang Mi, Mr. Gu!”
The director bypassed Jiang Mi and reached out for Gu Chuan, but was met with a double blow.
Jiang Mi struck the director’s elbow with a hand chop. Gu Chuan swiftly grabbed the director’s wrist.
“Ouch, that hurts! Please, spare me!” The director yelped in pain.
Gu Chuan relaxed his grip and focused on Jiang Mi’s delicate, white hand.
Her reflexes were almost as sharp as his, with a clean and decisive hand chop.
Jiang Mi noticed Gu Chuan’s gaze and subtly furrowed her brow. The original owner seemed to have learned karate; would it be enough to get by?
Jiang Mi naturally turned to the director, “Director, what’s the matter?”
Big news!!!
The director led Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan to a private area.
Gu Chuan, adhering to his role as a bodyguard, waited outside.
The director, aware of some details about Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan’s relationship, didn’t insist on Gu Chuan coming inside.
“Mimi, have you seen the trending searches?”
“No, I haven’t.”
The original owner had a fragile heart and couldn’t handle being criticized online, so she had long deleted her Weibo.
“Still haven’t seen it?” The director was surprised. “No worries, I’ll tell you.”
Jiang Mi fiddled with her phone. “No need. I’ll check it myself.”
The director: “…….”
Jiang Mi clicked through each trending topic, all of which were negative.
Even the #Jiang Mi’s Beauty trending topic was overrun by Bai Ruoruo’s fans, claiming Jiang Mi had undergone extensive plastic surgery to seduce men.
Jiang Mi snorted disdainfully. The female lead had gone to great lengths to deceive and harm the original owner. They were afraid of this face, accusing her of cosmetic surgery—how ridiculous.
Jiang Mi turned to the director. “Isn’t it a bit inconsiderate to have me see all this criticism?”
The director was startled. “Of course not! Those things don’t matter. Look at the top trending search; check out the one right after it.”
Jiang Mi raised an eyebrow and clicked on it to find a video of Gu Chuan kneeling to put shoes on her.
@CallMeLittleYellowGrandpa: Honestly asking, is this free to watch? The chemistry between these two is off the charts!
@EatMoreLutein: So perfect, they’re a match made in heaven. I want their relationship to develop offline from the show. I’ll ship them forever!
@DatingShowExpert: Guys, I’m shocked. The show has clarified that this man is not a guest. Ahhh, I’m losing it!
@EndOfUniverseIsPublicExam: I’ve already taken off my pants. @HeartthrobTime, show me this man in the live stream!
@BlueberryCutie: He’s so powerful and handsome. I don’t even know how to describe it. Sisters, do you get me?
@LoveIsRainbowColored: Get it, get it. Simply put, speak plainly: Grandpa, come for me!
@HahahaMonster: @HeartthrobTime, live stream him. I’m watching. Got it?
@GreenGreenGreen: @HeartthrobTime, listen up, get him here!
Following that were netizens urging the show to invite him, with so much support that it directly shot up the trending searches.
Jiang Mi put down her phone, smiling brightly. “That’s me they’re talking about.”
The director was a bit dazed, suddenly realizing the trending topic #Grandpa, Go for Her# was specifically referring to—Grandpa, Go for Jiang Mi!
Even though the director was used to tough situations, he blushed. “Yes, that’s you.”
“Oh, with so many people cheering me on, I’m so shy.”
“…….”
“Cough, let’s get to the point. How about inviting Gu Chuan to join the show?”
Two minutes later, the director left the room, and Gu Chuan entered.
The screenwriter peeked around, and as soon as the door was securely closed, rushed over to ask, “Did it work out?”
“It should be, but…”
“What do you mean, ‘should be’?”
“Jiang Mi agreed, but the bodyguard hasn’t.”
The screenwriter said, “The bodyguard should listen to his employer, right?”
The director, frustrated, said, “He must listen, or I’ll be at a huge loss!”
“What? Jiang Mi tried to use her influence on you? No, you’re no match for a bodyguard. If anyone should be coerced, it’s the bodyguard!”
The director was even angrier. “She wants to coerce the bodyguard!”
The screenwriter was stunned. “!!!”
Inside the room, Jiang Mi was showing Gu Chuan a few seconds of the video of him putting shoes on her, her voice sweetly complaining.
“They’re all drooling over your chest, your long legs, your body… They’re so preoccupied with you they’ve forgotten to criticize me.”
Even a man as indifferent as Gu Chuan showed a crack in his expression upon seeing the women’s bold comments.
“I’ll get someone to delete it.”
“Hehe, don’t delete it. Even if they’re craving, you’re mine.”
Jiang Mi tilted her head, her eyes glimmering with determination.
Gu Chuan raised his gaze to look at Jiang Mi, his eyes dark and inscrutable.
“Bodyguard.”
“What?”
“I’m just the lady’s bodyguard.”
Jiang Mi tilted her head to look at Gu Chuan, from her angle seeing his chiseled profile and the prominent, sexy Adam’s apple.
Her heart raced a bit faster.
Her cheeks felt slightly warm.
“So now, your lady commands you to join the dating show.”
Her tone was soft and trembling, more like a coaxing plea than a command.
Like a fox spirit enticing a scholar, tempting him to fall in love.
Suddenly, the man grabbed her misbehaving little hand.
His rough, hot palm made Jiang Mi’s wrist go weak.
Just as she was about to protest, the man pushed her hand against the wall and leaned in close.
It was as if a lazy lion had finally opened its eyes.
A powerful, fierce aura emerged.
Terrifying.
Jiang Mi was pressed against the wall, her fingers weakly clutching the cold surface, her beautiful eyes reflecting the man’s aggressive face.
Ugh, she suddenly wanted to join the online crowd.
Volunteering for the bed.
Grandpa, come for me!
“What exactly do you want?” The man narrowed his eyes, his scrutinizing gaze fixed on the woman beneath him.
His voice, already deep and magnetic, became even more hoarse and sensual as he deliberately lowered it.
Especially with the faint smell of tobacco on him, not strong, just subtly alluring.
Jiang Mi’s body softened further, her misty peach blossom eyes gazing up, her expression innocent and seductive.
“I want to fall in love.”
The man’s black eyes trembled violently for a moment, then grew even colder, exuding a chilling aura.
Like a lion responding to a provocation, his gaze was fixed on the prey.
Jiang Mi was unafraid, her eyes clear and sparkling, with a slight, enticing mole at the corner.
“Do you want it?”
“Not interested.” The man, seeming to have tested enough, stepped back and spoke coldly.
“That might not be the case.” Jiang Mi raised her small arm, her pale fingers lightly tapping Gu Chuan’s chest. “This place isn’t under control.”
A shiver of icy intent crossed Gu Chuan’s eyes. He changed the topic. “I’ll join, but I have a condition.”
Jiang Mi wasn’t surprised. In the original text, Gu Chuan did join the dating show, but he didn’t mention any conditions.
Jiang Mi straightened her posture. “What is it?”
Gu Chuan curled his lips, his voice indifferent.
“One month from now, the employment contract will be terminated.”
