Chapter 46: There is Only One Answer

Is it more enjoyable to go on a date with Gu Chuan, or with Shen Mingxuan?

This question is explosive within the realm of questions.

Especially with all three parties present, this question is truly outrageous!

【My goodness, Bai Ruoruo is really outrageous, asking such a question in front of all three people???】

【I am completely speechless, this question is meaningless, because the answer is obvious!】

【Exactly, you don’t even need to ask to know the answer, but asking it like this is just pure aggravation!】

【As an onlooker, I’ve lost all curiosity about this drama!】

【Bai Ruoruo looks pure and innocent, but she’s actually a black-hearted lotus, intentionally setting a trap for Jiang Mi.】

【Jiang Mi’s answer is obviously Gu Chuan, but this will only enrage Shen Mingxuan’s fans, targeting her. This person is really bad!】

【I don’t believe Mimi will take this lying down; I’m waiting for her to tear Bai Ruoruo apart.】

Jiang Mi’s brows twitched lightly, and she gave Bai Ruoruo a sidelong glance filled with amusement; her thoughts were clearly not hidden.

However, she was bluntly asking this, not worried about Shen Mingxuan’s face being affected, especially since Shen Mingxuan had been hospitalized and mocked online for being in poor health.

As expected, Shen Mingxuan’s face darkened immediately, and his gaze towards Bai Ruoruo became rather gloomy.

Bai Ruoruo noticed this too and felt a pang of regret.

Since the horse-riding competition in the morning, Shen Mingxuan had been cold towards her, and she hadn’t yet made amends. Now, she had further angered him.

But she understood Shen Mingxuan well—his male chauvinism meant he needed to be flattered and coaxed. She just needed to lower her stance and comfort him, and things would be fine.

Moreover, the question was already asked, so regretting it was useless. Seeing Jiang Mi not answering, Bai Ruoruo pretended to be clueless and asked, “Mimi, is this question hard to answer?”

Jiang Mi smiled and said, “It’s not hard, I just think the person asking the question is not in their right mind, so I’m too lazy to answer.”

Not in their right mind???

Bai Ruoruo’s fake smile froze.

Jiang Mi added with a smile, “Oh, by the way, when I say ‘not in their right mind,’ I mean a so-called lunatic.”

Calling her a lunatic in front of so many people!

Jiang Mi is such a bitch!

Bai Ruoruo suppressed her anger, her eyes reddening as she put on an expression of extreme grievance, “Mimi, I was just asking casually, with no malice. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Jiang Mi lazily stretched out her words, “Casually asking like this is so malicious, how can it be okay after careful consideration?”

Bai Ruoruo was stunned by Jiang Mi’s words, not knowing how to respond. She started to cry, trying to gain sympathy from those present.

But after spending so much time with Bai Ruoruo, who doesn’t understand her little schemes?

Therefore, no one came to her aid, and the atmosphere became a bit frosty.

【Jiang Mi is too much; Bai Ruoruo was just trying to liven up the atmosphere and the show, but Jiang Mi directly attacks her personally?】

【It sounds nice, but Bai Ruoruo was clearly being malicious by asking that question!】

【Her eyes were practically filled with malice, deliberately asking Jiang Mi such a question to see her embarrass herself.】

【Most importantly, the one who initiates is despicable!!! Bai Ruoruo is now trying to act like Jiang Mi bullied her and that she’s the one wronged!】

【Oh wow, what a big white lotus flower!】

The bullet comments were full of criticism for Bai Ruoruo’s white lotus act, and the guests at the scene had similar thoughts.

Everyone was focused on watching Bai Ruoruo’s performance and didn’t dwell on the question any further. Jiang Mi couldn’t help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

To be honest, she currently couldn’t answer the question at all, because of the world’s rules, the villainess must like the male lead…

However, Jiang Mi was clearly too early in her relief, because the next second, the man beside her spoke in a deep voice, “So Mimi, what’s your answer?”

Jiang Mi’s heart skipped a beat as she turned to face the man’s dark, inky eyes, which were filled with intense possessiveness.

【Wow, this is intense. The battleground is here.】

【I told you no man can tolerate this question! And sure enough!】

【Ah, ah, ah, hubby is jealous. Let’s see how Mimi will coax him!】

【Haha, I’m suddenly looking forward to this!】

【Jiang Mi definitely has no feelings for Shen Mingxuan anymore. Why is Gu Chuan still jealous about this? Ah, the man’s damned possessiveness.】

At this moment, Shen Mingxuan put down his wine glass and gently said to Jiang Mi, “Mimi, I’m also curious about your answer to this question.”

He was inexplicably concerned about Jiang Mi and Gu Chuan’s date, so he had taken his assistant’s phone to watch their live stream.

The more he watched, the more uneasy he felt. Without him around, Jiang Mi’s gaze at Gu Chuan was still as soft as honey, and the two of them had even gone off the live stream to the dressing room halfway through.

Under such an ambiguous pretext, what could the two of them be doing in the dressing room, if not obvious?

All of this made Shen Mingxuan feel anxious. Could it be that Jiang Mi really doesn’t like him and has developed feelings for Gu Chuan?

Shen Mingxuan’s eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan’s dark and intense gaze didn’t back down.

The tension between the two men seemed to crackle with electricity.

【They’re at it again!】

【Ah, I suddenly feel that Shen Mingxuan and Mimi would make a great pair too!】

【Damn, shipping CPs can be niche, but it shouldn’t be this twisted. Have you all forgotten how Shen Mingxuan treated Mimi before?】

【Absolutely unforgettable. Mimi braved a storm to deliver medicine to Shen Mingxuan, only to be called a clingy stalker by the entire internet. Now, putting aside those prejudices, Jiang Mi is just a girl who loves deeply, regardless of misunderstanding or rejection.】

【Indeed, the news always paints Jiang Mi as a stalker, but if you look beyond the biases, Jiang Mi is just a silly girl charging forward in love. Even if misunderstood and rejected, she doesn’t care.】

【But such a good Mimi, Shen Mingxuan still lost her!】

【Ugh, you twisted fans are toxic. Let me say it again, Jiang Mi is now clear-headed and hasn’t given Shen Mingxuan a proper look!】

【Shen Mingxuan probably doesn’t really like Jiang Mi. It’s just the man’s possessiveness at play!】

【Yes, seeing Jiang Mi now radiant and with the gentle and strong Gu Chuan, he’s not willing to let go!】

【Most importantly, Jiang Mi doesn’t like Shen Mingxuan. She definitely loves Gu Chuan. Every time she looks at Gu Chuan, her eyes sparkle. Are you all blind?】

【Shipping anything will only make you miserable!】

Jiang Mi was annoyed by Shen Mingxuan’s voice. What a trashy, scummy guy!!!

Shen Mingxuan clearly had no self-awareness. Her disgust wasn’t even hidden on her face; why was he still asking???

Jiang Mi was internally complaining and anxious.

Because of the world’s rules, she couldn’t say she liked Gu Chuan.

But since her boyfriend was upset, Jiang Mi was still very anxious to placate him.

Just as she was prepared to face the world’s rules and declare her love for Gu Chuan, the long-absent system, Bunbun, suddenly spoke up.

【Mimi, what have you done? I just took a nap, and you’ve already rewritten the world rules.】

Jiang Mi was puzzled by Bunbun’s words. When did she have the power to rewrite world rules?

Jiang Mi asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Bunbun seemed genuinely confused and scratched its little head, saying, “I mean it literally. You were supposed to maintain the villainess persona, but now you don’t need to. And your storyline…”

Jiang Mi’s eyes lit up when she heard ‘no need to maintain the villainess persona.’ She planned to discuss the rewriting of world rules with Bunbun later, but for now, she needed to quickly soothe her boyfriend.

While Jiang Mi was lost in thought, Shen Mingxuan couldn’t help but feel a smile tug at his lips. See, Jiang Mi still liked him deep down.

With this thought, Shen Mingxuan’s chest puffed up a bit more.

However, the next second, Jiang Mi subtly took Gu Chuan’s hand and looked at him with bright eyes, “I’ve only gone on dates with you, so that question doesn’t really apply.”

Gu Chuan raised an eyebrow, his deep, magnetic voice captivating, “Is that so?”

The two were very close, and when Gu Chuan spoke, his warm breath brushed against Jiang Mi’s ear, making her feel both tingling and hot.

“Cough, cough, the last time with Shen Mingxuan was just a work trip as colleagues. Besides, Shen Mingxuan wasn’t in great health and ended up in the hospital after a few activities.”

Jiang Mi was not only cruel but also heartless.

Shen Mingxuan’s face turned as black as a pot’s bottom.

Gu Chuan, on the other hand, was satisfied, his warm and dry hand squeezing the girl’s small hand, “Next time, I’ll make sure you have a great time.”

A great time…

Somehow, this phrase seemed to imply something…

Jiang Mi’s cheeks reddened even more, her voice carrying a hint of shyness, “Okay.”

【I knew it; Mimi’s answer will always be this one!】

【The previous instance with Shen Mingxuan doesn’t count as a date in Mimi’s heart. Only with Gu Chuan does it count as a date. Ah, the straightforwardness!】

【Haha, those who shipped the twisted CPs, are you still shipping them?】

【Never doubt Jiang Mi’s feelings for Gu Chuan. She made it clear from the first episode!】

【Ah, Gu Chuan is so easy to coax, just a word from Mimi and he’s all sweet.】

【This is the correct way for young couples to handle things—always clarify misunderstandings immediately!】

The bullet comments were lively, and the atmosphere at the dining table was harmonious.

Lu Yu and Cheng Lin joked back and forth about Gu Chuan and Jiang Mi, almost inviting the civil affairs bureau to issue them a marriage certificate on the spot!

Bai Ruoruo and Shen Mingxuan seemed to be forgotten by everyone, and no one paid them any more attention.

After another hour, when everyone had almost finished their big meal, the production team finally announced the last major task of the evening.

It was to determine which guest would be the one to allocate the sleeping arrangements for the night!
