The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 18
byChapter 18 Returning to the Villa
“This isn’t a date, this is clearly two strangers who can’t stand the sight of each other walking the streets!”
“Look at Gu Minghe’s dark face, you can tell he’s extremely unhappy that his date is Pei Huaixue.”
“Pei Huaixue is also avoiding Gu Minghe like the plague, LOL, are they filming a new type of dating show?”
“Forget it, you two shouldn’t date anymore, just end this segment quickly!”
Netizens on Weibo who watched the live stream clips were dying of laughter.
Gu Minghe’s fans were also relieved; judging by his performance, he wouldn’t be getting into a relationship anytime soon.
As the date neared its end, Pei Huaixue finally remembered that there was still one gift he hadn’t opened.
The gift box was very light, so light that he could barely feel its weight.
Pei Huaixue curiously opened the box and saw a blank paper plane ticket lying quietly inside, with no destination filled in. Pei Huaixue was stunned. He picked up the ticket, which looked somewhat unofficial, and saw Gu Minghe’s handwriting on the back of the paper.
“Anywhere you want to go, no matter how far, I can make it happen for you.”
The destination on this blank ticket was to be filled in by the recipient, and Gu Minghe would pay for it.
Pei Huaixue was momentarily lost in thought. When he snapped back to reality, his eyes were already moist.
He hadn’t expected Gu Minghe to prepare such a gift.
Gu Minghe thought he wanted a divorce because he desired freedom, so he was willing to let go and allow him to fly wherever he wished. But what Gu Minghe didn’t know was that Pei Huaixue only ever wanted to fly back to Gu Minghe’s side.
He quietly blinked, holding back the tears that were about to spill, and sniffed, not wanting anyone to notice his unusual state.
He carefully put the gift away, but the moment he did, he felt that something was wrong.
No, that’s not right.
How could Gu Minghe be so sure that the gift would end up in his hands?
What if the person he was dating today wasn’t him? Wouldn’t this ticket have been given to someone else?
In an instant, jealousy surged in his heart. The thought that Gu Minghe might have given this gift to someone else and gone on a date with them in this amusement park—a place filled with their shared memories—made him furious.
In the distance, Gu Minghe watched Pei Huaixue’s expression—at times wanting to cry, at times unable to stop smiling, and then wrinkling his nose in displeasure—and couldn’t help but smile faintly.
What Pei Huaixue didn’t know was that Gu Minghe had prepared two sets of plans for both the date and the gift.
“CEO Gu, are you saying that if the person who draws you is Pei Huaixue, you give him this pink gift box, and if it’s anyone else, you give them this black gift box?”
The pink box contained the plane ticket, while the black box contained a set of fragrance products that Gu Minghe had endorsed.
Compared to the plane ticket, it seemed very perfunctory.
A few days ago, Xiao Shu, the staff member responsible for liaising with Gu Minghe, was puzzled when she heard Gu Minghe’s strange request.
Why specifically mention Pei Huaixue?
Gu Minghe didn’t explain, and even proposed his two dating plans: if the date was Pei Huaixue, they would go to Star Track Amusement Park; if it was anyone else, the date would be canceled, and that person would be left without a partner.
He would simply go directly to the villa later to meet everyone.
Hearing this, Xiao Shu was completely dumbfounded.
She really wanted to say that the show couldn’t be filmed this way…
But considering Gu Minghe’s star power, and knowing that the show’s popularity would definitely soar if he joined, she reluctantly agreed.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but think of Pei Huaixue, the young man so beautiful that she couldn’t forget him after one glance. She wondered what the relationship between Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue was. Why did Movie King Gu seem to care about him so much?
–
The comments section was also shocked after seeing the gift Gu Minghe gave.
-Who said Gu Minghe doesn’t know how to date? He’s clearly very good at it!
-Oh my god, how romantic! I envy Pei Huaixue again!
-Speechless, how did Pei Huaixue get such a good gift? Does he deserve it?
-Pei Huaixue ruined the date that Gu Minghe prepared so seriously!
The comments were full of complaints, but Pei Huaixue had already composed himself. Although his heart was still sour, the thought that he and Gu Minghe were already divorced, and he had no right to be jealous, forced him to stop caring.
When it was time to return, Pei Huaixue suggested they take two separate cars. Gu Minghe frowned, “Why?”
Did he really not want to be with him that much?
Did they have to take separate cars even on the way back?
Pei Huaixue couldn’t tell him the truth, so he nervously avoided Gu Minghe’s gaze, “Because you’re too handsome, I feel pressure being with you.”
Praising Husband, surely Husband wouldn’t be angry anymore, right?
“…” Gu Minghe lowered his eyes. No emotion was discernible in his deep gaze, but his tone was slightly unsteady: “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Since his wife praised him, of course, whatever his wife said went.
-Does anyone else think the atmosphere here is a bit weird?
-Why does Gu Minghe’s voice sound a little excited?
-No, Pei Huaixue’s excuse is too perfunctory, and Gu Minghe accepts it?
-Ah, this torturous date is finally over. It’s good they aren’t taking the same car back, so Gu Minghe won’t be hurt by Pei Huaixue again.
Although the Movie King’s fans in the live stream didn’t like Pei Huaixue’s decision to return in separate cars, they felt it was fine, even good, since Gu Minghe finally didn’t have to be near Pei Huaixue. Let him do whatever he wanted!
–
Because Pei Huaixue’s car drove away first and was delayed by a traffic jam halfway, Gu Minghe’s car was still meandering on the road when Pei Huaixue returned to the villa.
When Pei Huaixue arrived, everyone except the main couple (Gu Yanchen and Su Jin) had already returned to the villa.
In today’s dating segment, only the protagonist CP remained solid. The other two pairs were split up and dated different people.
Zhou Jingyuan, who had been very confident about Xia Mu, rushed back to find Xia Mu after his lackluster date with Shen Zhimian. He then saw Xia Mu and Jiang Leran laughing and chatting, with Xia Mu’s body nearly leaning onto Jiang Leran’s chest. A surge of irrational anger flared up in Zhou Jingyuan, and he rushed forward, ready to fight Jiang Leran.
The moment Pei Huaixue entered the house, he heard their noisy quarrel.
It was truly a lively, clanging mess.
The onlookers in the live stream were watching with great interest.
-Fight! Everyone fight!
-I bet on the college student Jiang Leran winning. His muscles are real, unlike the programmer who built up fake ones.
-Does anyone else think Shen Zhimian is pitiful? Not only did she date someone she didn’t like, but she came back to find her home being stolen. Too miserable.
The comments were heated.
Pei Huaixue, however, was a little tired. He bypassed the three arguing people, intending to go upstairs and rest in his room.
Just then, Xia Mu suddenly called out to him.
“Pei Huaixue!”
Pei Huaixue was startled: ?
Why was she calling him?
He stopped and turned to look at Xia Mu, “What is it?”
He saw Xia Mu pointing at him, crying as she accused Zhou Jingyuan, “What right do you have to accuse me of falling for someone else? Don’t think I don’t know about you and Pei Huaixue. You clearly still haven’t forgotten him. You two were definitely flirting during dinner!”
Pei Huaixue: …
He rubbed his temples in annoyance, “I’m telling you, can you stop involving me in your arguments? When did Zhou Jingyuan and I flirt? He was clearly the one unilaterally trying to be attentive to me. I didn’t want to pay attention to him at all, okay?”
Zhou Jingyuan, who had originally intended to tell Xia Mu not to drag Pei Huaixue into it, immediately became unhappy when he heard this.
“Xiao Xue, how can you say that? You clearly like me very much! I can feel it. Don’t be afraid of Xia Mu. I’m here, Big Brother will protect you. You don’t need to hide your love for me!”
Hearing this, Pei Huaixue felt a wave of nausea in his stomach, so disgusted he almost threw up.
His face was pale. He didn’t want to deal with these two lunatics anymore and lifted his foot to leave, but Zhou Jingyuan rushed up and grabbed his wrist.
“Don’t go! Explain yourself clearly!”
Pei Huaixue was already disgusted. The moment his wrist was touched, he instinctively raised his hand and slapped Zhou Jingyuan across the face.
The loud smack stunned even the fake-crying Xia Mu.
Zhou Jingyuan stared blankly at Pei Huaixue, his face stinging fiercely.
Yet, he didn’t feel angry. Instead, he felt that since Pei Huaixue didn’t hit anyone else but him, it must mean he liked him.
“Xiao Xue, did you hurt your hand?”
Holy crap, there’s a pervert here.
Pei Huaixue felt a chill run down his spine from Zhou Jingyuan’s gaze. He coldly stated, his voice full of disdain, “Get lost, go as far away as possible, okay? I think you and Xia Mu are a perfect match, truly. Please lock yourselves together and stop bothering me, alright?”
Xia Mu gritted her teeth.
She was the one who wanted to compete for Pei Huaixue, but now that she saw Pei Huaixue readily handing Zhou Jingyuan over, why did she feel so unhappy?
Jiang Leran was also exhausted by the farce. He said to Xia Mu, “Since things between you and Zhou Jingyuan haven’t been sorted out, let’s maintain the status quo for now.”
Anyway, a month was a long time, and he wasn’t in a hurry to confirm his preferred partner.
“It’s not like that, A-Ran, listen to me explain…” Xia Mu started crying again.
Zhou Jingyuan wanted both of them.
Seeing Xia Mu clinging to Jiang Leran again, his temper immediately flared up, and he stepped forward to shove Jiang Leran.
The two unexpectedly started wrestling. Before Pei Huaixue could react, he was caught in the crossfire.
He couldn’t dodge in time and was struck by Jiang Leran’s tall body. Pei Huaixue felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and his body violently fell backward. Seeing that he was about to hit the ground, Pei Huaixue closed his eyes in despair—
Just then, a large hand reached out, firmly gripping his waist and carefully pulling him into an embrace.
Pei Huaixue opened his eyes and met Gu Minghe’s dark, deep gaze.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Leaning against the man’s warm chest and abdomen, he felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Mmm, Husband’s chest muscles are comfortable to lean on.
He thought this with gratitude.
Gu Minghe, however, had a tight expression, his brows deeply furrowed. His cold eyes held a terrifying, sinister light. He stared fiercely at the three instigators, his tone cold as an icy pool: “According to the criminal law, intentional injury is punishable by imprisonment of up to three years. What, do you want to experience life in prison?”
The three stared blankly at Gu Minghe, completely failing to react.
Gu Minghe?
How did he appear at the villa?
