Chapter 132: Brother, Are You Feeling Wronged?

Comments on the livestream chat were increasingly concerned. Fans of the Gu Chuan and Jiang Mi pairing were worried.

Shen Xu was arrogant and looked down on women. Jiang Mi stepping up to teach him a lesson was empowering and satisfying!

But if Jiang Mi competed against the male guests, Gu Chuan would only be a decoration among the female guests, which seemed to suggest he was living off someone else.

Especially since Gu Chuan was the CEO of FGH, a man at the pinnacle of power—strong, prestigious, and aloof.

For such a prominent figure to publicly appear as if he was living off others seemed humiliating.

Not only did the live audience think this, but the on-site guests did too. Even the director was ready to make excuses, but just as he was about to argue that there had been a mistake with the rules, Jiang Mi’s cold voice rang out.

“You heard it under my and Gu Chuan’s feet—did I threaten him not to do push-ups?”

Was there any need for eavesdropping?

What man likes to lose face? What man is willing to let all the attention go?

Bai Ruoruo’s face changed. Annoyed internally, she looked at Gu Chuan with a tender expression and spoke with a soft tone, “I just think that not letting Chuan-ge compete might make him feel wronged.”

“If you’re having trouble hearing, go get a cochlear implant. Push-ups are a team competition. Whether you’re on top or bottom, both are indispensable.”

After speaking, Jiang Mi walked straight to Gu Chuan, hooking her arm around his neck, pressing slightly, her peach blossom eyes narrowing with a dangerous glint. Yet her tone was soft and delicate.

“Brother, are you feeling wronged?”

Gu Chuan looked down at the girl before him, like a rose with thorns—delicate, stunning, and dangerous.

His lips curled in a barely perceptible smile, “No, I’m quite content.”

Perhaps the distance between them was too close.

Jiang Mi was not surprised to see her reflection in his deep, dark eyes, and her heart raced.

At that moment, the audience, who had been worried and filled with dog food, realized they had been overthinking. Gu Chuan pampered Jiang Mi so much—why would there be any conflict?

Moreover, their previous assumptions were too narrow. Gu Chuan’s strength came from himself. He didn’t need to feign humility. Standing there, he was the only king, with everyone else in submission.

A man as strong as he was wouldn’t be ridiculed or considered weak just because he did one fewer push-up.

No, of course not.

[Ahhh, Chuan-ge really spoils Mimi so much!]

[Chuan-ge is happy to pamper and indulge Mimi. Hehe, is Bai Ruoruo going to be infuriated? Hehe.]

[But speaking of it, I asked my boyfriend if he would let me have a chance. He absolutely refused and said it’s a matter of male dignity.]

[Are you saying Chuan-ge has no male dignity?]

[No, no, I think Chuan-ge is more open and it highlights his strength and fearlessness. He’s not constrained by false reputations and respects and cherishes women enough to let Mimi have her way.]

[Yes, the commenter above is my spokesperson. I can’t express it as well, but simply put, male dignity isn’t determined by a single push-up!]

[I have a feeling that Mimi will dominate and make the male guests look like a mess. Haha, just thinking about it is funny.]

[Me too! Mimi joining in makes it much more interesting than a purely male team.]

At this moment, Jiang Mi turned around with a cold expression, “Did you hear that now?”

Bai Ruoruo bit her lip, filled with jealousy and frustration. Damn fox spirit!

But it wasn’t the right time to argue with Jiang Mi. Bai Ruoruo pretended to be submissive, “I’m sorry. I was just too concerned about Chuan-ge…”

“Chuan-ge is also yours to call. If you dare call him again, I’ll tear your mouth apart,” Jiang Mi’s eyes were icy.

Bai Ruoruo, silenced by Jiang Mi’s rebuke, was seething but had learned from yesterday’s lesson. She could only grind her teeth and swallow her anger.

Seeing Shen Mingxuan nearby, she took a deep breath, forced a smile, and looked at him admiringly. “Mingxuan-ge, Mimi is a girl. Could you please give her a chance in the competition later?”

Her words were laced with veiled insinuations.

On one hand, she tried to show her magnanimity, pretending to care for Jiang Mi while being reprimanded. On the other hand, she set up a cushion for the upcoming competition, ensuring that if they lost, it wouldn’t be because they were inferior but because they were being considerate.

Shen Mingxuan seemed to appreciate her gesture and puffed up his chest, “With your words, I’ll give way to her. I just hope she appreciates it.”

“Want me to appreciate it? Fine, here’s a chance for you,” Jiang Mi’s tone was relaxed, but Shen Mingxuan suddenly had an ominous feeling.

Sure enough, the next second.

“After you lose the competition, change your Weibo name to Shen Xu.”

The term “Shen Xu” again!

Shen Mingxuan’s face turned green. “Jiang Mi!”

Jiang Mi deliberately said, “Doesn’t Shen Mingxuan dare to compete with me, a mere woman? No way, no way at all.”

The three consecutive “no ways” were filled with scorn.

Shen Mingxuan’s face turned a deep shade of liver, his eyes glaring at Jiang Mi with a look that seemed to wish he could cut her into a thousand pieces.

However, at this moment, Bai Ruoruo subtly pinched Shen Mingxuan’s arm.

He calmed down a little. This was actually good. His main purpose for taking the medication today was to rid himself of the “Shen Xu” nickname.

Jiang Mi’s provocation was perfect!

Moreover, this was a great opportunity. If he were competing against Gu Chuan, even with the medication, he wouldn’t be confident of winning. But against Jiang Mi, winning was a piece of cake.

Shen Mingxuan took a deep breath and regained his confidence. “Mimi, since you’re a woman, I won’t argue too much. But if I win this match, you must apologize for the earlier insult.”

His words were grandiose.

Jiang Mi didn’t care. “Sure, if I win, you change your Weibo name to Shen Xu and never change it back.”

Shen Mingxuan gritted his teeth. “Deal.”

The bet was thus established.

[The bet is set. Waiting for Shen Mingxuan to officially change his name to Shen Xu.]

[Am I the only one worried that Mimi might lose? There’s a natural difference in strength between men and women.]

[As someone who’s been watching since the start of the show, just believe in Mimi forever.]

At this point, Shen Mingxuan seemed worried that Gu Chuan might target him, so he quickly approached the director. “Director, does our bet count?”

The director subtly glanced at Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan gave a slight nod.

The director immediately nodded in agreement. “Yes, other guests can also place additional bets if they want.”

Qin Ling, who had been eager to participate, immediately raised his hand. “I also want to add. If I win in the end, Shen Mingxuan has to post on Weibo saying ‘I am Shen Xu because I have kidney deficiency,’ and repeat it three times!”

Shen Mingxuan’s entire demeanor turned dark, his teeth gritted. “Qin Ling!”

Cheng Lin couldn’t help but exclaim, “You’re really ruthless.”

Qin Ling, fearless and true to his rapper style, was not afraid. He would not be intimidated by any underhanded tactics!

Next, Cheng Lin and Fu Li also placed additional bets. The director thought for a moment and said, “The show will also add a bonus. The winner of this round will receive an extra pass to skip answering a question. Note, this right will be very useful tonight.”

Everyone’s curiosity was piqued. The director said mysteriously, “Tonight’s event will definitely be something you all enjoy. For now, let’s start the competition.”

Feeling pressured by the crowd, Shen Mingxuan was extremely frustrated. Hearing that the competition could begin, he, filled with confidence from the medication, eagerly showed off.

He threw off his shirt, positioned himself with his arms on the ground. “Ruoruo, come sit on my waist.”

Bai Ruoruo, with a blushing face, sat on him and deliberately wrapped her legs around his waist, adopting a standard straddling position.

Jiang Mi looked over and found it quite eye-catching.

But she also belatedly realized that the game wasn’t just about her doing push-ups; she would also have to bear the weight of Gu Chuan.

However, “If you’re sitting on my waist like that, your long legs probably can’t stretch out, and I also can’t do push-ups.”

Jiang Mi was deeply troubled.

Gu Chuan seemed to be chuckling softly. “Then how would you like me to sit?”
