The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 32
byChapter 32: A Firm Choice
Chapter 32
The cold, eerie mechanical voice flashed through Gu Minghe’s mind and quickly fell silent, as if the entire thing had been an illusion.
Gu Minghe’s eyes darkened.
Was it really just an illusion?
Or was it auditory hallucination caused by hitting his head?
But why did he also hear Pei Huaixue’s voice?
That mechanical voice was communicating with Pei Huaixue, calling him Host.
This was the information Gu Minghe gathered from that brief exchange.
Pei Huaixue seemed to be carrying out some kind of mission behind his back.
And that mission was related to him.
Gu Minghe’s eyes flickered, but he pretended to know nothing, his expression returning to normal.
Reaching out to wipe away Pei Huaixue’s tears, he comforted him, “Don’t cry, I really am fine.”
Pei Huaixue was still very nervous. He reached out and gently rubbed the back of Gu Minghe’s head. Only after confirming there was no bump did he feel slightly relieved.
-Pei Huaixue looks so worried about Gu Minghe, so Gu Minghe must still hold some weight in his heart!
-Come on, he hit his head that hard, how could he not be worried?
-As soon as Gu Minghe got hurt, Pei Huaixue cried. Why is he such a crybaby!
-Didn’t you guys notice? Gu Minghe called Pei Huaixue ‘baby’ just now!
-I heard it too! Ahhh, the shippers are so sweet! He’s already calling him baby, can Husband be far behind?!
After seeing that Gu Minghe was fine, the netizens relaxed and boldly resumed shipping them.
Because of this small incident, Pei Huaixue was distracted during dance practice that afternoon and was particularly sensitive to physical contact with Gu Minghe.
When the man placed both hands on his waist, his expression changed, and he slapped Gu Minghe’s hands away. “We’re just practicing. The official dance won’t be with you, so you don’t need to make some movements so standard.”
For example, hugging the waist, touching the chest, or patting the butt—doing those motions in the air would suffice.
Pei Huaixue gestured simply. However, the moment he finished speaking, the breathing behind him sounded off. Turning around, he met Gu Minghe’s dark, profound eyes. Pei Huaixue’s heart trembled, expecting Gu Minghe to disagree, but the other party merely nodded.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
His voice was calm, without any noticeable fluctuation.
But hearing it, Pei Huaixue felt inexplicably flustered.
He felt that the way Gu Minghe looked at him today seemed strange.
As if he were looking through him, searching for something.
Pei Huaixue felt guilty under his gaze and could only pretend nothing was wrong and continue practicing the dance.
With Gu Minghe’s patient guidance, he finally learned most of the dance. He was naturally long-limbed and a good candidate for dancing. After a day of practice, he genuinely started to look like one of those male idol group members.
Because the dancing was so intense, his chest was heaving violently when they finished. Sweat had soaked his thin shirt, clinging tightly to his lower abdomen and revealing the faint outline of his lean muscles, which rose and fell with his breathing—beautiful and sexy.
His small face was flushed, his lips slightly parted. He stuck out the tip of his rosy tongue to lick the corner of his mouth, then smiled at Gu Minghe with crescent eyes, like a kitten seeking praise from its owner. “How did I dance?”
His face was practically screaming for compliments.
Gu Minghe never skimped on praising Pei Huaixue. “My little Xue is naturally the best. Whether it’s your physique or the rhythm of your movements, everything is perfect.”
Even if Pei Huaixue just stretched his arms and twisted his waist, Gu Minghe would find him absolutely adorable.
Pei Huaixue proudly puffed up his cat fur, also feeling like he was the Asian Dance King, the kind who could crush Su Jin.
“Then who dances better, me or Su Jin?”
Gu Minghe praised him without hesitation. “Baby dances the best.”
Comments: ??
-No way, CEO Gu is just forcing the praise!
-Although Pei Huaixue has evolved from calisthenics to a beginner level after a day of hard practice, he can’t possibly dance better than Su Jin!
-Is CEO Gu addicted to calling him ‘baby’? Pei Huaixue doesn’t seem to mind the nickname either. So sweet!
-Kittens need to be praised to make progress. Gu Minghe is a qualified cat servant!
However, right after the praise, Gu Minghe changed the subject. “But…”
“But what?” Pei Huaixue’s curiosity was piqued. He leaned closer to Gu Minghe, staring at him with his bright, watery eyes.
“Gu Yanchen’s dancing skills are so poor, I’m afraid he’ll drag you down.” Gu Minghe reached out and wrapped his arm around Pei Huaixue’s waist. His tall frame pressed the kitten hard against the mirror behind them, face-to-face. He leaned down, nipped at the delicate tip of Pei Huaixue’s ear, and mumbled indistinctly, “Have you considered changing partners?”
Pei Huaixue let out a soft gasp from the bite. His entire ear and neck flushed crimson.
He turned his head away, avoiding Gu Minghe’s touch, trying hard to resist being seduced by him. He said seriously, “That’s not up to me, and… um… this dance, I… I must dance it with Elder Brother Chen…”
With every sentence he spoke, Gu Minghe’s hand, which was gripping his waist, slid down a fraction.
Warm breath kissed his hair, making him tremble all over.
He finally couldn’t help but say, “Ah, stop touching me randomly. The live stream is recording.”
“This is a couple’s dance with a lot of touching movements. If Gu Yanchen touches you like this during the live stream, can you handle it?” Gu Minghe’s large hand mischievously climbed onto his butt. His tone was calm, but his actions were rather wild.
“I’m helping you adapt in advance.”
“That’s not how you adapt!” Pei Huaixue’s face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed. “I just won’t let him touch my butt then!”
He yelled, asking Gu Minghe to let him go.
“Just not touching the butt?” The man didn’t seem satisfied with the answer.
Pei Huaixue was so angry he bit Gu Minghe’s arm. “He’s not allowed to touch my waist either, or my chest, alright!”
“Barely acceptable.”
Gu Minghe smiled and released him, his eyes full of approval. “Good little kitten.”
“Hmph, I’m not talking to you.”
Pei Huaixue’s face was red, and he didn’t dare look at the cameraman filming them nearby.
Gu Minghe was too wicked!
Ah, he definitely had to get revenge someday!
Cameraman: I didn’t see anything, I didn’t see anything…
In the live stream, the shippers were stunned to see Gu Minghe openly bullying Pei Huaixue.
-The seemingly cold CEO Gu actually has such a wild side!
-His possessiveness is so strong. It looks like Gu Minghe is seriously jealous of Elder Brother!
-When will Pei Huaixue turn around and look at Gu Minghe? Stop chasing after Elder Brother!
-Sure enough, what you can’t have is true love. Pity Gu Minghe for a second.
-He won’t let him touch this, won’t let him touch that. I can’t imagine what that couple’s dance will look like on the day of the performance, hahaha.
-Pei Huaixue’s butt looks soft and very touchable. CEO Gu, can I touch it too? (Shy)
-Heh, you dare touch it? Be careful, CEO Gu might hunt you down across the country.
That evening, when they returned to the villa, Su Jin and Gu Yanchen were already back.
Seeing their beaming faces, it was clear that their dance practice had also gone smoothly today.
As soon as Pei Huaixue returned, he let go of Gu Minghe’s hand and happily rushed toward Gu Yanchen. Just as he was about to jump into Gu Yanchen’s arms, a large hand grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, dragging him back to its owner’s territory.
Meanwhile, Su Jin stood in front of Gu Yanchen as if facing a formidable enemy.
Pei Huaixue complained, “Elder Brother Su Jin, you monopolized Elder Brother Chen all day. It was supposed to be my turn to practice with him, but you stole him away. Can’t I just give him a hug?”
Su Jin paused.
“I’m sorry, but… no, you can’t.”
He refused gently.
Gu Yanchen frowned, looking at Gu Minghe behind Pei Huaixue, his eyes seeming to ask, Are you two fighting again?
Gu Minghe returned a cold look, then spoke gently to Pei Huaixue, “If you want a hug, I can give you one.”
Pei Huaixue received a Points notification, immediately withdrew his hand, and happily turned around to hug Gu Minghe.
Everyone else in the villa who witnessed this scene: …
Xia Mu: Wait, they can play it like this? Pei Huaixue’s tea artistry is truly above mine! He can actually manipulate both Gu brothers in the palm of his hand. He was impressed…
Shen Zhimian: Good, very good. He’s learned it. He’ll draw all of this into his manga.
Jiang Leran twitched his mouth, looking at the diligently taking notes Shen Zhimian, and kindly reminded him, “You probably don’t need to learn this.”
Shen Zhimian was a little shy. “You misunderstood. I’m just recording material.”
Zhou Jingyuan clenched his fists in anger. Ever since Gu Minghe arrived, Pei Huaixue stopped revolving around him. He was so angry! But he couldn’t beat Gu Minghe, which made him even angrier!
After dinner that evening, the director popped up. “Tonight, let’s play Truth or Dare!”
It was a fixed segment for dating reality shows; it wouldn’t be a dating show without it.
No one refused. They sat in a circle on the living room carpet. The director brought a beer bottle and placed it in the center.
“Spin the bottle. Whoever it points to is the one.”
With that, he spun it first.
The bottle quickly stopped, pointing at Su Jin.
“Truth or Dare?”
“Truth, please,” Su Jin nodded.
Everyone looked at each other, considering what juicy question to ask. Xia Mu thought for a moment and asked with a mischievous smile, “Do you still have your first time?”
Su Jin’s face instantly flushed red. He stammered, “N-no, I don’t…”
Wow!
No one expected the seemingly pure and conservative Su Jin to no longer be a virgin.
They wondered if Gu Yanchen would be disappointed by this answer.
Everyone turned to look at Gu Yanchen, only to see that the usually calm and composed CEO Gu actually showed a rare hint of shyness on his face.
How strange!
Everyone chuckled without commenting, though they were clearly thinking something.
The next round continued. This time, the bottle pointed directly at Pei Huaixue.
“Truth or Dare?”
Pei Huaixue: “I’ll take Truth too.”
Xia Mu: “If Gu Minghe and Gu Yanchen both fell into the water at the same time, who would you choose to save?”
“Huh?” Pei Huaixue blinked. Why ask him such a boring question? Did they even need to ask? He would definitely save his Husband!
Just as he was about to answer Gu Minghe, 029 in his mind frantically reminded him to answer Gu Yanchen.
Pei Huaixue glanced at Gu Minghe and couldn’t help but say, “That’s not good. My Husband will be sad if he hears that.”
Host, your Husband’s sadness is only temporary. The mission is paramount.
Pei Huaixue became conflicted.
“Is it that hard to choose?” Xia Mu smiled. “Haven’t you always liked CEO Gu? Or has your affection for CEO Gu wavered so easily? Do you want both of them?”
Host, choose Gu Yanchen.
The System was having a disco party in Pei Huaixue’s head.
“You’re so noisy!” Pei Huaixue couldn’t help but complain. When he looked up, he saw Gu Minghe staring deeply at him. His heart stirred, and he blurted out, “I’ll save Gu Minghe.”
Gu Minghe’s eyes flickered.
He heard it.
He heard that strange voice again.
It was telling Pei Huaixue to choose Gu Yanchen.
But his wife still chose him in the end.
