Chapter 97: Swimwear Recording

Jiang Mi had been filming nonstop for the past two days and finally wrapped up her scenes. She hurriedly returned to the island to prepare for the live broadcast the next day.

On the private jet, Jiang Mi snuggled into Gu Chuan’s arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Upon landing, Gu Chuan wrapped her in a blanket and carried her off the plane.

The seaside breeze was strong, and Jiang Mi, groggy and barely awake, called softly without even seeing the man in front of her clearly, “Gu Chuan.”

Gu Chuan replied in a low voice, “I’ll carry you back so you can keep sleeping.”

Jiang Mi nestled against him affectionately and murmured, “Okay, thank you, brother.”

Gu Chuan’s lips curved into a faint smile.

When they arrived at the villa, they saw several figures waiting from a distance.

It was Cheng Lin, Lu Yu, Fu Li, and Chen Wanru. They had seen the promotional photos released by the Butterfly Dream crew and were curious if the man in the photos with Jiang Mi was Gu Chuan!

Everyone was intensely shipping the couple, debating whether the man was indeed Gu Chuan. They had even secretly placed bets on it.

“Mi…” Lu Yu started to call out but was silenced by Gu Chuan’s icy stare. Lu Yu quickly covered her mouth, afraid to make a sound.

Since Jiang Mi was asleep, and Gu Chuan looked so cold, the others dared not ask anything.

Gu Chuan carried Jiang Mi to the bedroom and, upon coming downstairs, saw the others still in the living room. “Is something up?”

Lu Yu immediately nodded vigorously but, after being glared at by Gu Chuan, she didn’t dare to speak further. The coldness in Gu Chuan’s eyes made her shrink to a corner, seeking refuge among others.

Fu Li handed her a fluffy pillow.

Lu Yu was startled but hugged the pillow tightly, smiling gratefully at Fu Li. “Thank you.”

With the pillow in her arms, she felt a bit safer.

She had previously misunderstood Fu Li as a creepy anatomy enthusiast, but he was actually a thoughtful and kind person.

Lu Yu smiled warmly at Fu Li.

Fu Li adjusted his glasses and smiled back, saying, “No need to thank me, little rabbit.”

At this moment, Cheng Lin, curious, asked, “Brother Chuan, is the male lead in the photo with Sister Mi you?”

Cheng Lin showed Gu Chuan the photo on his phone.

It was a striking image of a beautiful woman in a qipao and a cold, indifferent officer.

The contrast between the seductive woman and the indifferent officer created a strong visual impact.

Especially the girl with her waist bent, looking both seductive and alluring.

Gu Chuan’s eyebrows twitched violently. During the filming of the photo, he had only heard the photographer praising the shot as perfect, and then Jiang Mi had been quickly called away for more scenes.

He had accompanied her out of concern but hadn’t realized how impactful the photo would turn out.

His honey looked like an incarnation of desire, every movement captivating.

But such a beautiful Jiang Mi was only meant for him to keep private.

Gu Chuan said in a deep voice, “It’s me.”

Cheng Lin was about to cheer, having guessed correctly, but upon meeting Gu Chuan’s dark and cold eyes, he shivered and quickly said, “Um, big brother, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

Cheng Lin quickly signaled the others, and they all hurriedly left.

Once outside the luxurious villa, Cheng Lin, still a bit shaken, patted his chest and said, “Brother Chuan’s gaze was too terrifying, but haha, I won the bet!”

The remaining three looked at him with deadpan expressions. “We all won the bet too.”

Indeed, all four of them had the same answer.

None of them believed Gu Chuan would let Jiang Mi seduce another man.

Thinking this, Cheng Lin checked his phone and was surprised to find the photo had disappeared.

Lu Yu didn’t believe it. “It’s probably just your network. Mine is still… huh, it’s gone too. How did the photo disappear?”

Chen Wanru frowned. “I’ll search for it. I can’t find it!”

Fu Li adjusted his glasses calmly. “It can’t be found anywhere online.”

The photo had caused a huge stir. Even if the original post was deleted, there should have been traces left in the vast expanse of the internet.

But now, it was completely gone from everywhere.

The only one with such influence would be… Gu Chuan.

Meanwhile, the internet was abuzz.

Originally, fans were just discussing the provocative photo, but suddenly it disappeared!

What was going on?

Though the deletion of the original post wasn’t a huge deal, many fans had saved the image and could share it again.

But they soon found that any photos they posted were quickly removed.

???

What was happening?

The disappearance of the photo was so mysterious that more and more netizens became curious, causing it to trend again.

The attention on Butterfly Dream skyrocketed, and the anticipation for Heartbeat increased as well.

The newly revamped show was clearly adept at generating buzz, releasing a new update on Weibo about the next episode—swimwear edition.

Of course!

Swimwear was perfect for the seaside!

Anticipation surged immediately.

Jiang Mi had a deep sleep and woke up groggily to the program’s notification to wear swimwear for today’s recording, mentioning a sea activity.

Drowsy, Jiang Mi picked out a swimsuit and went outside to find Gu Chuan. After searching around, she found the program’s arranged vehicle waiting at the villa’s entrance.

The salty sea breeze blew in.

Jiang Mi’s vision cleared up a bit.

From a distance, she saw several men standing by the sea.

Among them, she spotted Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan also immediately saw his honey.

She was tall and fair-skinned, wearing a black-and-white checkered halter-neck swimsuit that perfectly showcased her figure. The bottom was a pleated skirt, emphasizing her slender, jade-like legs.

【(⊙o⊙) Wow, Mimi’s figure is really stunning.】

【Even though she’s not showing much, why does it look so sexy!】

【Ah ah ah, Brother Chuan is walking over.】

【He’s walking straight over, what is he planning to do!!!】
