The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 62
byChapter 62: The Happy Pei Huaixue
Chapter Sixty-Two
Seeing that the in-laws were also so fond of Pei Huaixue, those who had previously mocked him online for failing to marry into the Wealthy Family were severely slapped in the face and could only shamefully delete their comments.
Leaving the Gu Family Estate, the couple drove back to the seaside villa of the Heartbeat Cabin.
Pei Huaixue still remembered that on his first day at the Heartbeat Cabin, public opinion online was overwhelmingly negative, criticizing everything he did, and the live stream was filled with comments hoping he would quit the show.
However, nearly a month later, when Pei Huaixue returned, the bullet screen was filled with:
Pei Huaixue, welcome back.
Everyone was truly terrified when he suddenly fainted that day.
A perfectly healthy person just collapsing straight down, his face frighteningly pale—anyone who saw it would be heartbroken.
He had been gone for a week, and strange rumors had circulated online, making everyone very worried about Pei Huaixue’s health.
Fortunately, Pei Huaixue had returned safely now.
When they got out of the car, Gu Minghe habitually opened the door for Pei Huaixue. Before his wife’s feet even touched the ground, he scooped him up into his arms.
Pei Huaixue’s face was slightly flushed.
Although they were used to carrying each other around at home, this was outside, and it felt too high-profile.
“Husband, I can walk by myself.”
Since their relationship was public, Pei Huaixue no longer hid it and began openly calling Gu Minghe Husband in front of others.
The curve of Gu Minghe’s lips was impossible to suppress. “Everyone knows you’re my wife, so what’s wrong with me carrying you?”
“Besides, you’ve just recovered. You shouldn’t overexert yourself. I feel safer carrying you.”
Pei Huaixue blinked his eyes and obediently said, “Alright, thank you, Husband.”
The accompanying cameraman: ??
The single dog felt utterly attacked.
The bullet screen was screaming with delight at the sweetness.
-Holy crap, is this how they usually interact?
-How hard was it for Gu Minghe to hold back before their relationship was public!
-I just realized that CEO Gu was truly restrained before
-With such a beautiful, cute, and delicate wife, having to hide her and not go public must have been agonizing for CEO Gu!
-He really wishes the whole world knew Pei Huaixue is his wife!
-Xuexue is so sweet, calling him Husband—Gu Minghe is so lucky!
-Gu Minghe, let’s duel! If you lose, your wife is mine!
-Hahaha, CEO Gu’s smile is harder to suppress than an AK
Learning that Pei Huaixue had returned, the other guests also came out to greet him.
Gu Yanchen and Su Jin were the first.
Under the memory interference of 029, they knew Pei Huaixue was fine before the production team did. Seeing Pei Huaixue’s complexion gradually returning to normal, both were relieved.
“Welcome back,” Gu Yanchen smiled at Pei Huaixue. “It’s your turn for chores today, by the way.”
Pei Huaixue: “Ah?”
He tugged at Gu Minghe’s clothes. “Can I come back tomorrow instead?”
“Yes.”
Gu Minghe was ready to grant any request, turning to leave with his wife in his arms.
Su Jin quickly interjected, “He’s lying, don’t listen to Yanchen.”
Pei Huaixue: …
What a devil of an Elder Brother.
Was he still holding a grudge about Pei Huaixue using him for a mission before?
Gu Minghe shot a cold glance back, retaliating for his wife. “Elder Brother, you’re getting on in years. Aren’t you worried that you still haven’t married? I have a wife, you know.”
Gu Yanchen’s brow twitched.
This brat! The moment Pei Huaixue reconciled with him, he started acting smug again.
He wondered who it was who was utterly depressed every day after the divorce, begging him to check if his wife was doing well.
Forget it, no need to argue with the younger generation.
Su Jin couldn’t help but chuckle. “It’s really nice to see them back to the way they were.”
Gu Yanchen held Su Jin’s hand. “What about you? When can you let me show off my Elder Brother’s wife to Minghe?”
Su Jin’s face flushed. She shook off Gu Yanchen’s hand and followed Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue into the house.
Gu Yanchen shook his head and smiled.
“Xiao Xue, you’re finally back. Is your health fully recovered?” Shen Zhimian happily bounced up to Pei Huaixue, examining him closely up and down. Seeing that he was fine and his complexion was much better than before he fainted, he finally relaxed.
“I stewed some cordyceps chicken soup for you. Come and drink it quickly.”
With that, he went to the kitchen to bring out the chicken soup, urging Pei Huaixue to drink it while it was hot.
Jiang Leran also came over to offer a few words of greeting. Only Xia Mu was nowhere to be seen.
Pei Huaixue sat at the dining table, drinking soup and asking Shen Zhimian, “Where is Xia Mu?”
The usually good-tempered Shen Zhimian rarely wore a long face. “He said those things that caused you to faint. How could he have the face to stay here? He applied to leave voluntarily long before you returned.”
After Pei Huaixue fainted, netizens tore Xia Mu apart.
He had believed online rumors, spread gossip in front of Pei Huaixue, caused him to faint, and then was publicly humiliated when Gu Minghe revealed his relationship with Pei Huaixue. After that, Xia Mu couldn’t lift his head anywhere he went.
Later, when the news of Pei Huaixue’s supposed death spread, Xia Mu was directly labeled a “murderer.”
Coupled with his later interference between Shen Zhimian and Jiang Leran, which had already caused dissatisfaction among some Shippers, the accumulation of old and new grievances caused his popularity to plummet.
Under this immense pressure, he had no choice but to voluntarily withdraw.
His Douyin account fans dropped to only a little over 100,000, which was a devastating loss.
A popular Minor Influencer joined the show, not only failing to gain fans but exposing his true colors and losing all his existing followers.
Now, with Zhou Jingyuan and Xia Mu gone, only six guests remained on the show.
Fortunately, this was the final week of filming.
On the last day of the show, there would be a final invitation segment, where the 1 party would choose a date location and invite the desired 0 to attend. If the other party failed to show up within the specified time, the pairing would fail.
Among the remaining three couples, Gu-Su and Gu-Pei were set in stone, leaving only Shen Zhimian and Jiang Leran with some uncertainty.
No one knew if they would successfully pair up in the end.
Without Xia Mu in the cabin, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
To welcome Pei Huaixue back, the production team prepared a feast. The guests didn’t need to cook tonight and could eat and drink freely.
At the same time, the second episode of the show went online today, so everyone gathered around to eat and watch the episode together.
The guests in the observation room for the second episode still included Director Chen Jin, plus a new special guest: Ms. Zhong Manzhu.
The scene of Chen Jin being humiliated in the first episode was still fresh in everyone’s minds, and many people wanted to see him get slapped in the face again.
Zhong Manzhu’s appearance, however, surprised everyone.
“Why didn’t Mom tell us she was going to film the show?” Pei Huaixue bit into a cherry fed to him by Gu Minghe. The crimson juice stained his lips. He licked his lips, and the next second, Gu Minghe was already there with a tissue to wipe his mouth.
The people in the room were starting to get used to the little couple’s continued sweetness.
They had previously wondered why they acted like an old married couple when they had just started dating. Now that they knew they had been married for a long time, everything made sense.
Poor Chen Jin, however, still didn’t know about Gu Minghe and Pei Huaixue’s relationship when the second episode was filmed.
Since the first and second episodes were filmed consecutively, Chen Jin was still reeling from the shock at the end of the last episode when Gu Minghe said he joined the dating show for Pei Huaixue. Now, he watched with the mindset of, “I want to see how this kid is going to chase his wife.”
When he saw Gu Minghe ask Pei Huaixue to fetch his underwear, Chen Jin couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. “Good heavens, straight to seduction, huh?”
Then, seeing Gu Minghe cook for Pei Huaixue early in the morning, catering to his tastes, Chen Jin commented, “I didn’t expect this kid to be such a good cook. He always told us he never cooked and didn’t know how. Heh, turns out he just didn’t want to cook for us.”
The host didn’t forget to ask Zhong Manzhu beside him, “Auntie, between Su Jin and Pei Huaixue, which one do you prefer as your daughter-in-law?”
Su Jin was diligent, gentle-tempered, and friendly on the show.
Pei Huaixue, however, was delicate and lazy, a complete little drama queen. Did they even need to choose between the two?
Chen Jin said matter-of-factly, “Auntie will definitely choose Su Jin.”
Zhong Manzhu, however, smiled warmly. “Xiao Jin and Xiao Xue are both wonderful. Anyway, I have two sons, so they can both be my daughters-in-law.”
Host: “Auntie, if you absolutely had to choose one?”
“Well, I choose Xiao Xue.” Zhong Manzhu looked slightly apologetic toward Su Jin, who might be watching the show. “It’s not that Xiao Jin isn’t good, but Xiao Xue is the child I interact with more often. Privately, he is a very polite and well-behaved child, not like what the internet says.”
Zhong Manzhu had been heartbroken seeing so many people online criticizing Pei Huaixue.
So when the production team invited her to be an observation guest, she agreed without hesitation.
Her plan was to speak highly of Pei Huaixue on the show, help her daughter-in-law reverse public opinion, and incidentally help the young couple reconcile sooner.
That was Zhong Manzhu’s thinking when she participated in the show.
However, before this episode even aired, Pei Huaixue was already the show’s most popular guest.
Netizens in the live stream were touched by Zhong Manzhu’s statement.
-Wow, Ms. Zhong is truly the best mother-in-law in the world
-At that time, Pei Huaixue’s reputation was so bad, but Ms. Zhong wasn’t worried about being criticized for defending him. She only wanted to protect her daughter-in-law. She truly loves Pei Huaixue like family.
-I’m genuinely relieved that Xiao Xue married into the Gu Family
-How wonderful! Her Husband is her childhood sweetheart, her in-laws are easy to get along with, and her Elder Brother and sister-in-law adore Xiao Xue. Our Xiao Xue has overcome her hardships and will be the happiest Pei Huaixue in the world from now on!
Seeing this, Pei Huaixue’s eyes turned red.
He quickly grabbed his phone and sent a message to Zhong Manzhu: “Thank you, Mom, I love you! Mwah!”
Zhong Manzhu, who was watching the show with Gu Chengyuan, laughed joyfully after receiving the text.
Gu Chengyuan snorted. “Why didn’t the production team ask me to go?”
Zhong Manzhu teased him, “Are you jealous already? Too bad, Xiao Xue just likes me more.”
