The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 10

Chapter 10
Pei Huaixue’s appearance instantly caused the entire live stream to erupt.
No one had expected the third male guest to be him.
-Why is Pei Huaixue here? Is the production team stirring up trouble?
-Is that Pei Huaixue? Holy cow, who told me he had plastic surgery and that all the videos and photos online used filters and beauty effects? His real-life looks are absolutely on par with A-list celebrities!
-He’s too good-looking! I’m shocked he didn’t look worse in person!
-Wait, why is Pei Huaixue everywhere Gu Su is? Is he haunting them?
-Did he chase them onto the show to be a homewrecker?
-So disgusting! Who is he trying to seduce dressed like that?!
A stream of comments flew by. Some were shocked by his looks, others continuously insulted him. In any case, Pei Huaixue’s arrival made the live stream even livelier.
Although Pei Huaixue couldn’t see the comments, judging by how frequently he had been cursed at recently, he guessed few people were saying anything nice.
But he didn’t care. The priority was to quickly complete the mission.
However…
Pei Huaixue shivered slightly from the cold, regretting wearing so little to the show.
He had originally intended to dress provocatively so people would know he was there to seduce Gu Yanchen, but the moment he stepped out of the car and the biting cold wind scraped against his delicate skin, he regretted it.
He just wanted to get inside the villa quickly and stop standing outside in the cold.
So, he grabbed his suitcase and hurried toward the villa, moving quickly. The accompanying cameraman rushed to keep up.
-Running so fast? Is he impatient to see Gu Yanchen?
-The vixen is here! Hold strong, CEO Gu!
-My heart aches for Su Jin, stuck with this persistent pest that he can’t shake off.
-If Gu Yanchen really likes Pei Huaixue, he should just go public with him. What’s the point of constantly using Su Jin as a shield? Poor Su Jin has become a tool in their love play.
-We beg Gu Yanchen and Pei Huaixue to leave Su Jin alone!
The comments section was ablaze with discussion again.
Pei Huaixue pushed open the villa door. The moment he stepped inside, he felt much warmer.
He placed his suitcase near the entrance and walked into the living room, where Gu Yanchen and Su Jin were already waiting for him.
Seeing him appear, both men showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Su Jin had already been surprised when he arrived at the villa and saw Gu Yanchen. He sat calmly on a separate sofa next to Gu Yanchen, maintaining some distance.
The atmosphere between the two, who were originally very close, had become subtly awkward due to recent events. They had only exchanged simple greetings and hadn’t spoken much since.
As a result, Shippers watching the live stream from this camera angle were very disappointed.
-Did they really break up (BE)?
-How could they? They’re clearly a real CP trying to avoid suspicion!
-That’s not how you pursue your partner, CEO Gu! If you keep acting so aloof, your spouse will run off with someone else!
When Pei Huaixue appeared, the indoor atmosphere became even more delicate…
“Brother Chen, Brother Su Jin, you’re both here.” Pei Huaixue smiled and walked forward, enthusiastically plopping down right next to Gu Yanchen, directly in front of Su Jin.
The gentle smile on Su Jin’s face cracked for a moment.
“Xiao Xue, long time no see.”
Since the morning after he had slept with Gu Yanchen and saw Pei Huaixue emerge from Gu Yanchen’s room, he hadn’t seen Pei Huaixue again.
Su Jin used to treat Pei Huaixue like a younger brother and spoiled him.
But as Pei Huaixue increasingly revealed his feelings for Gu Yanchen in front of him, Su Jin found him utterly unfamiliar.
He desperately wanted to ask Pei Huaixue, Don’t you already have Gu Minghe? Why are you still entangled with Gu Yanchen?
Does Gu Minghe know? Isn’t he going to do something about it?
Or did you marry Gu Minghe just to get closer to Gu Yanchen?
Su Jin was intensely bothered by these thoughts.
Yet, his expression remained calm and his smile gentle.
When he saw Gu Yanchen at Heartbeat Cabin, Su Jin felt a fleeting moment of secret joy. He wondered if Gu Yanchen had come on the show because of him. Did he care about him?
But seeing Pei Huaixue appear turned that joy into embarrassment.
It turned out he had been presumptuous; Gu Yanchen might have come to the show for Pei Huaixue too!
“What a coincidence! I didn’t expect the three of us to be on this dating show together,” Pei Huaixue said in a subtly manipulative tone, leaning his body slightly against Gu Yanchen’s shoulder.
Seeing this, Gu Yanchen suddenly stood up, avoiding Pei Huaixue’s touch. He glanced toward Su Jin. “Would you like some water? I’ll go pour you a glass.”
Su Jin replied softly, “Yes, thank you, Yanchen.”
“Don’t be so polite between us.”
Thanks to Pei Huaixue’s unintentional assistance, the two managed to break the ice.
As for Pei Huaixue, he tumbled onto the sofa without warning. The section of his pale, slender waist almost blended with the white sofa. When he sat up, the curve of his waist was strikingly white.
The comments section, which had been laughing at Pei Huaixue’s failed attempt, couldn’t help but stare at the screen when they suddenly caught sight of his waist.
-Pei Huaixue is hilarious! He just arrived and already tried to seduce CEO Gu. Good thing CEO Gu has self-control and ignored him!
-Haha, who said my CP broke up? CEO Gu is still worried about whether Su Jin needs water!
-Although Pei Huaixue’s character is questionable, I have to admit his figure is amazing. That sofa is really white…
-The previous comment better be talking about the sofa.
Gu Yanchen returned with two glasses of water, giving one to Su Jin and one to Pei Huaixue.
He did not sit back down next to Pei Huaixue, choosing instead to sit directly beside Su Jin.
Su Jin’s expression shifted slightly, and the smile on his lips didn’t fade as he drank his water.
Pei Huaixue held his cup with both hands, smiling sweetly. “Brother Chen, you’re so caring. Whoever becomes your wife would be incredibly happy.”
He spoke with an expression of envy and longing.
Gu Yanchen frowned.
He looked at Pei Huaixue, confused.
Was he acting again?
Acting for Gu Minghe?
Gu Yanchen couldn’t think of any other reason for Pei Huaixue’s frantic clinginess.
He chuckled deeply. “My younger brother Minghe is even more caring. Whoever marries him would be truly happy.”
Hearing Gu Minghe’s name suddenly, Pei Huaixue froze for a second. He quickly recovered, pursing his lips. “Yes, yes, I really enjoy watching Gu Minghe act. His acting skills are incredible. I didn’t realize he was such a nice person too.”
He spoke awkwardly, his eyes darting uncomfortably.
Netizens in the live stream were surprised to hear Gu Yanchen mention Gu Minghe. They found it hard to imagine that the Movie King, who was usually cold toward his fans, was actually a caring person.
The remaining guests then appeared one after another.
Jiang Leran, a lively and energetic college freshman in the performing arts department, full of boundless energy. He immediately offered to help everyone carry their luggage upstairs.
Shen Zhimian, a reclusive cartoonist, wore thick black-rimmed glasses and blushed shyly when speaking to people, appearing timid overall.
Zhou Jingyuan, a programmer with a full head of hair and a muscular physique, yet he was already breathless just carrying his suitcase, suggesting his muscles were purely for show.
Pei Huaixue recognized the last person to enter the cabin:
Xia Mu, a major influencer on the Douyin platform with millions of followers, who had a minor feud with Pei Huaixue in the past.
At the time, Pei Huaixue had just joined Douyin and only had about ten thousand followers.
He impulsively joined a live PK battle and was matched with Xia Mu. As a major influencer, Xia Mu didn’t take Pei Huaixue seriously, assuming he would win easily.
So, he suggested that the loser stream with their filter and beauty effects turned off. Pei Huaixue agreed.
The result was that Xia Mu lost, and lost badly!
That night, Gu Minghe, wanting to support his dear wife’s streaming career, entered the live room and, without saying a word, gifted Pei Huaixue ten million yuan.
When countless Carousels floated across the screen, people in both live streams were dumbfounded.
Holy cow, where did this rich benefactor come from?!
Did this new streamer come with his own sugar daddy?
Everyone was shocked. The platform frantically promoted Pei Huaixue, and his follower count soared instantly.
Gu Minghe’s burner account, used for the massive spending, also gained tens of thousands of followers overnight.
His private messages were flooded with messages from various streamers trying to lure the benefactor.
The clips from that night’s stream were trending on Douyin for quite a while.
Xia Mu, as the humiliated antagonist, repeatedly appeared in various marketing clips, cementing the bad blood between them.
Especially after Xia Mu turned off his beauty filter, revealing a face that was relatively ordinary compared to his usual appearance, he lost most of his followers.
In truth, Xia Mu’s real face wasn’t ugly, just clean-cut, but he usually used such strong beauty filters, transforming himself into a fair-skinned, beautiful person, that when he turned them off, his fans couldn’t accept it and dropped him in droves.
At the time, Xia Mu angrily said in his live stream, “Which streamer doesn’t use beauty effects and filters these days? Don’t look at how good-looking Pei Huaixue is in his stream; he’s probably uglier than me with the filters off!”
This statement was agreed upon by many.
“Yeah, Pei Huaixue must be an ugly monster in real life!”
“My Xia Mu just isn’t as stunning as usual, but he’s not ugly, okay?”
“Pei Huaixue, that plastic surgery face, stop trying to compare yourself to us!”
Now, Xia Mu was meeting Pei Huaixue face-to-face.
When he saw Pei Huaixue standing before him, with a face that was just as beautiful as, or even better than, his streamed appearance, he felt an immense shock.
How could someone be this good-looking in real life?
His skin was so pale it seemed to glow, and every feature on his face was exquisitely delicate, beautiful enough to make others feel ashamed of themselves.
Xia Mu couldn’t help but feel jealous.
He already disliked Pei Huaixue, and now he hated him even more!
After everyone introduced themselves, they began assigning rooms.
Upstairs, there was one triple room and two double rooms.
Su Jin suggested drawing lots.
Pei Huaixue definitely wanted to stay with Gu Yanchen to facilitate his plan.
And, quite fortunately, he actually drew a lot to stay with Gu Yanchen. Su Jin was also included; the only triple room was drawn by their love triangle.
The comments section immediately grew excited.
-The drama is starting!
-Let the love battlefield commence!
-The new flame and the old love, hehe, I wonder who Gu Yanchen will choose?
