Chapter 176: Jiang Mi’s Confession

Tonight isn’t just confession night; there’s also a red carpet event.

The red carpet is naturally the stage for the female guests to show off their beauty, while the male guests, as the supporting cast, just casually walk along to warm up the scene.

Cheng Lin appeared in a black casual suit with a floral shirt underneath, exuding a relaxed and suave demeanor. His appearance received enthusiastic applause from the villagers.

Mr. Fu, in his wheelchair, looked gloomy and unhappy, drawing sympathy from the villagers who felt sorry for the young man with a crippled leg, explaining his dark expression.

Qin Ling made a special effort to wear a leather outfit today, looking both rebellious and handsome. The young girls in the village screamed as soon as they saw him.

Fu Li wore a light gray suit with gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. His appearance was handsome, and he perfectly embodied the gentlemanly yet slightly roguish charm.

Gu Chuan appeared in a sharp black suit, standing tall and dignified. His handsome looks, great figure, and rumored wealth made everyone, young and old, excited. Such a man, who is said to be loving towards his wife, is indeed exceptional.

Then came Jiang Mi, who wore a shimmering gown that flowed elegantly and accentuated her graceful figure. The delicate glimmer of the gown made her even more dazzling.

“Jiang Mi looks really beautiful. Her skin is so fair, it’s glowing.”

“That gown is sparkling too, like a fairy from the heavens.”

“Look at that chest and that figure; she’s perfect for bearing children. Whoever marries Jiang Mi is truly fortunate.”

The village women, having seen and heard it all, spoke without restraint.

Even though Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan had done everything already, hearing these comments still made Jiang Mi blush, almost causing her to trip on her gown.

Taking a deep breath and pretending not to hear, she quickly walked off the red carpet and sat down next to Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan, as usual, draped his jacket over Jiang Mi’s shoulders. They sat close together, and he casually asked, “Are you cold?”

Jiang Mi shook her head. “Not really.”

It wasn’t cold, but she was embarrassed.

It seemed chatting with the village women wasn’t the best idea; they would joke about anything.

As Jiang Mi thought about this, she suddenly noticed Gu Chuan still hadn’t returned to his seat. What was he looking at?

Looking up, she met Gu Chuan’s dark eyes.

Jiang Mi tightened her grip on the jacket and glared at him. “What are you looking at?”

Gu Chuan blinked and quietly returned to his seat. “They were complimenting you.”

Complimenting her chest and figure, and saying she’d be great for childbirth.

Jiang Mi’s cheeks turned red, but she retorted, “Aren’t you going to compliment me?”

Gu Chuan chuckled softly. “Of course, I would. I have the most say in this.”

Jiang Mi: “……..” She shouldn’t have brought up this topic.

Luckily, the camera was now focused on the next female guest, otherwise, their conversation might have made fans even more excited.

Lu Yu appeared in a light yellow evening gown, looking charming and youthful. Many young men blushed, and numerous children chattered about the beautiful sister.

Chen Wanruo appeared in a black long dress, exuding mature and refined elegance. Many older women were in awe of her figure.

Yang Yang quickly followed in a strapless black dress, resembling a black swan, with a blend of elegance and subtle sexiness.

The final guest to make a grand entrance was Bai Ruoruo, who deliberately delayed her appearance to build anticipation.

However, she underestimated the situation. The guests and online viewers were uninterested, and the villagers, having not seen anyone for a while, started chatting among themselves, thinking the event was over.

When Bai Ruoruo finally appeared, it was clear that few were paying attention, which made her face turn green with anger.

The director, not willing to indulge her, immediately took the microphone and began introducing the rules for tonight’s confession night.

Each person would confess in turn, and if one person’s confession succeeded, the other would not get a chance.

Finally, the director wished all lovers a happy ending.

The first to confess was Cheng Lin.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his suit, and confidently stepped onto the stage to speak.

“First of all, I’d like to thank the production team for inviting me to participate in this show.”

“Actually, I hadn’t planned on joining a dating show, but it’s quite amusing. Recently, my mother has been pressuring me to get married and arranging various blind dates. I thought, instead of letting my mother worry, I might as well arrange something for myself.”

“So, I came on this show to find true love. Unfortunately, I didn’t find true love, but I met many like-minded friends.”

“Tonight, I want to confess to the guests of this dating show—Qin Ling, Fu Li, Gu Chuan, Yang Yang, Chen Wanruo, Little Yu, and Jiang Mi. I’m truly happy to have met all of you. This has been a memorable journey that I will cherish forever. I hope our friendship remains unchanged. Thank you all!”

The other guests below also clapped enthusiastically. Cheng Lin’s words reflected their own thoughts—perhaps there wasn’t love, but the friendships formed would last.

Only Bai Ruoruo and Mr. Fu had unhappy expressions. Mr. Fu was somewhat understandable, given that he had only been around for a few days and still had some leeway. But Bai Ruoruo was in a tough spot.

She had been present from the first to the last episode, yet Cheng Lin mentioned friends without including her name.

Bai Ruoruo clenched her fists, her eyes full of resentment.

Next up was Yang Yang.

“I’m also very grateful to the production team for inviting me to this show. Without it, I might still be in the dark, unable to distinguish between genuine and false intentions.”

Everyone knew Yang Yang’s words were aimed at a particular person.

Regarding legal matters, Yang Yang didn’t elaborate further, but smiled and looked at Jiang Mi.

“Tonight, I want to confess to Jiang Mi!”

Hearing her name suddenly, Jiang Mi was a bit surprised and confused.

Gu Chuan’s expression instantly grew cold.

Yang Yang was startled and quickly explained, “No, no, my feelings for Jiang Mi aren’t romantic; it’s a friendship confession. I truly appreciate Jiang Mi’s help during the show. My feelings for her are purely platonic, with no extra thoughts at all.”

Hearing Yang Yang’s incoherent explanation, Jiang Mi couldn’t help but laugh and patted Gu Chuan. “Don’t be jealous.”

Gu Chuan firmly held Jiang Mi’s hand.

Having experienced this, Yang Yang dared not say more and quickly ran back, not forgetting to complain to Chen Wanruo.

“You really scared me just now. I thought Gu Chuan was going to have me for dinner. His jealousy is overwhelming.”

The guests were seated in a row, from south to north, and the distance was not close. So Chen Wanruo hadn’t noticed the situation over there.

“Really? I didn’t think Gu Chuan would be jealous of a girl.”

Yang Yang’s eyes widened. “Try going up there yourself and see.”

Just then, the director called Chen Wanruo’s name.

Chen Wanruo was in a similar position to Yang Yang but in an even tougher spot.

She had been misled by Bai Ruoruo to target Jiang Mi, but Jiang Mi had been magnanimous and didn’t hold it against her.

Later, with Jiang Mi’s help, she finally saw through Shen Mingxuan and Bai Ruoruo.

She had to thank Jiang Mi for this.

Then she understood what Yang Yang meant.

Gu Chuan’s gaze was too intimidating, too frightening.

She was genuinely thanking Jiang Mi from a friend’s perspective and had no ulterior motives!

[Hahaha, they all went up to confess, but ended up fleeing in distress.]

[All scared off by Gu Chuan. He really is a big vinegar jar.]

[But this shows our Honey’s character, everyone’s confessing to her!]

[But isn’t there something wrong here? Everyone’s confessions are about friendship. Where’s the romance?]

The director also noticed this issue.

What’s going on?

This is a dating show, not a friendship show.

One after another, everyone confessed friendship, and all to the same girl.

The director was baffled, looked around, and decided to call Lu Yu’s name.

Lu Yu took a deep breath and walked to the confession stage, her gaze locking on Fu Li.

Her heart raced, her palms sweating slightly, and her grip on the microphone was a bit slippery.

Last night, when she and Fu Li returned together, he had explained everything, including his feelings.

She was happy but also fearful.

Not fearful of Fu Li, but the thought of building a close relationship with a man instinctively made her anxious.

However, looking at Fu Li now.

In his gold-rimmed glasses and silver-gray suit, he seemed like a gentle and charming gentleman.

If it’s this Fu Li.

It seemed that only joy remained in her heart.

So she should be brave and honestly express her feelings.

“During this past month recording the show, I’ve really enjoyed it and am very grateful for everyone’s care, especially Jiang Mi.”

When Lu Yu mentioned Jiang Mi, she couldn’t help but smile brightly, her voice sweet, “The happiest thing for me is making a friend like Jiang Mi.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Yang teased, “What about me, Little Yu?”

Chen Wanruo followed up, “You used to call me Sister Wanruo. Have you forgotten so quickly?”

Jiang Mi felt pleased, “Forgotten, forgotten. Little Yu only remembers me.”

Lu Yu blushed, hurriedly waving her hands, “No, no, meeting all of you is my luck. I really like everyone, truly!”

Everyone knew Lu Yu was sincere, but couldn’t help teasing a little.

The guests below were all relaxed and enjoying the banter, except Fu Li, who was fixated on the girl on stage.

Lu Yu also glanced at him. Her round almond eyes seemed to flicker with a hint of panic, then quickly looked away before returning.

“I, I still have someone to confess to today!”

In an instant, the atmosphere turned silent, everyone holding their breath. Fu Li’s hand, resting on his thigh, clenched into a fist, his knuckles turning white…

The director was excited, knowing that Lu Yu was definitely about to make a romantic confession!

Lu Yu took a deep breath, and her sweet, soft voice finally called out the name she had kept in her heart.

“Fu Li.”
