Ji Fei had gossiped around but didn't get any new information, so she could only wait for further developments of the drama.
In the evening, when she returned to the Qin family home, everyone already knew about them going on the reality show together.
"This is our Fei Fei's first time on a live reality show, I'll definitely watch the whole thing," Qin's Mom said excitedly.
Qin Yan and Qin Rong also held hands and enthusiastically expressed that they would watch together!
"When I was going to be on a show before, I didn't see you all this excited," Qin Zhao said, exasperated.
Qin's Mom rolled her eyes, "You're not as pretty as Fei Fei."
"Don't be nervous, if anything happens, just let Qin Zhao handle it. If you're not having fun, come back anytime," Qin's Father said, laying down the law.
Just as Qin Zhao was about to speak, Qin's Father added: "Third brother will pay the penalty fee for you."
Qin Zhao: Am I even your son?
Ji Fei smiled and agreed to everything one by one.
[I'll persevere to the end no matter how difficult it is!]
Everyone was surprised in their hearts, this didn't sound like something the current Ji Fei would say.
[There's so much drama waiting for me to witness live! A secretly married actor cheating in progress, two male gods competing as love rivals, devoted wife image versus seductress, mom and ex-girlfriend, as long as it doesn't kill me I'll eat it all up, I can't even imagine how happy I'll be these two months.]
Qin Family: !!!!!
Is there... really so much... drama?
It sounds... so tempting!
Why can't these inner thoughts be transmitted through the live broadcast? They're very curious too.
So except for Qin Xian, everyone turned to look at Qin Zhao, making him shudder.
"Third brother! I'm almost done with my painting, I have some free time, can I go be your assistant?" Qin Rong quickly asked.
Qin Zhao's mouth twitched, "Uh... okay. Come when you're free."
"Great!" Qin Rong scored the first point.
"Can we visit the set?" Qin's Mom and Dad also responded enthusiastically.
Qin Zhao squinted at his parents, who had never visited him on set in all his years working in the entertainment industry. "You can, but not every day."
Qin's Dad and Mom high-fived in celebration.
As one of the only two people in the family who had to work actively, Qin Yan really had no way out, since she still had a child to take care of. She could only hold Qin Xi and look pitifully at Qin Rong and her mother.
The two ladies gave her a reassuring look, promising to share everything.
As for Qin Xian, who hadn't spoken and was ignored by his family, he could only diligently be a money-making tool without any say.
Just like a bystander who can never squeeze into the crowd to join the excitement, how sad~
"By the way, Brother Gao told me that no brands have offered to provide clothes for you yet, so you'll have to prepare your own outfits," Qin Zhao said to Ji Fei.
Ji Fei thought for a moment and said, "I have a lot of clothes in my closet, we can just have the stylist come and see what's suitable."
"That won't do, for such a big show, you definitely need this season's new items. Let's have all of Qin Corporation's partners send over clothes," Qin's Mom immediately said, protecting her cub.
"I'm just about to take little Xi shopping for clothes, why don't we all go shopping together tomorrow?" Qin Yan suggested.
Ji Fei immediately looked at Qin Zhao, smiling sweetly, "Then I won't go to class tomorrow."
[Yahoo, I can finally skip class for a day with a clear conscience!]
Qin Zhao glared at her helplessly, but could only reluctantly agree. It could be considered as giving the lazy fish who had been working hard to turn things around these past few days a little sweetener.
Qin Rong immediately expressed her regret, "I have to paint, otherwise I would have gone with you."
Qin's Mom patted her daughter's hand, "We'll go together next time." Then she turned her eyes to Qin Xian, who was lowering his head drinking tea, and said, "Qin Xian, can you spare some time to go shopping with us tomorrow?"
Qin Xian was stunned.
Qin Yan also received her mother's signal, "We're just going to the mall under Qin Corporation, it's right next to your office building."
Without thinking much, Qin Xian said, "Okay. I'll deal with company matters first and then come find you."
Ji Fei wondered inwardly, [Why do they want a man to come along when women are shopping?]
Qin Xian glanced at Ji Fei and added, "I'll come to pay for you."
[Hmm? What an irrefutable reason!]
The next day, Ji Fei could finally sleep in without a care. After a simple meal, she set off with Qin's Mom and Qin Yan, bringing little Xi Xi to the city's most high-end mall.
After browsing two children's clothing stores, it was almost lunchtime.
They chose a restaurant, and just as they entered, they brushed past a woman.
Qin Yan exclaimed, "Ruan Jia, what are you doing here?"
Ji Fei looked and saw a woman about the same age as Qin Yan. She was wearing a big red knit hat, looking a bit unwell, and seemed embarrassed facing Qin Yan. "Qin Yan, what a coincidence."
"Not a coincidence, you shouldn't be here," Qin Yan said, uncharacteristically stern.
"Oh, don't be so strict," Ruan Jia smiled. "I'll go back after buying some things, don't let me delay your lunch. See you."
With that, she ran off quickly.
"Don't run so fast," Qin Yan called out, somewhat helplessly.
Qin Yan didn't have a wide social circle, so her family usually knew most of her acquaintances. Qin's Mom curiously asked, "Who was that?"
"A patient from our hospital," Qin Yan said, her mood somewhat low. "She was just admitted when I took over the hospital, so we've known each other for quite a while. She... never mind, let's eat."
The hospital Qin Yan now manages is a private hospital, and the patients admitted are all wealthy or noble. Qin Yan's low mood definitely wasn't because the patient couldn't afford treatment, it was more likely that the patient's illness was difficult to cure.
Everyone had no intention of discussing someone else's medical condition, so they changed the topic and started ordering.
Just as they finished ordering, Qin Xian arrived.
After eating, they split up.
Qin's Mom was going to accompany Qin Yan and little Xi Xi to browse children's clothing stores, letting Qin Xian accompany Ji Fei to women's clothing stores.
Qin Xian immediately understood the Qin family's intentions, his expression becoming a bit unnatural.
Ji Fei was stunned for a moment before she also understood the Qin family's intentions. She was quite happy about it though - having a handsome guy accompany her, who also had the attribute of paying, what more could she ask for?
So Ji Fei immediately led Qin Xian to start shopping.
However, as soon as they entered the VIP room of the first store, they saw Ruan Jia whom they had just met.
At this moment, Ruan Jia seemed to be arguing with someone. A troubled shop assistant stood beside her, while opposite her was a woman wearing sunglasses and a bucket hat.
"Sister Ruan Jia, I need it for the show, can't you let me have it?"
"Wang Jiani, what's mine is mine. I reserved it, no one can snatch it away!"
Ji Fei was stunned. Wait, Wang Jiani? Isn't that name...
"Ruan Jia, Wang Jiani? Sheng Wenyue's wife and junior, what a coincidence?" Qin Xian suddenly spoke.
[Right, that's the actress Wang Jiani who's been rumored to be in a relationship with the secretly married actor Sheng Wenyue. Wait? Wife? Ruan Jia?]
Ji Fei looked at Qin Xian in shock, "You... how do you know them?"
Qin Xian looked down at Ji Fei, "You're going on the show, of course I need to check up on the people you'll be working with."
[No, no, no, knowing Wang Jiani is normal, but even Gao Hao might not know about Ruan Jia!]
Qin Xian uncomfortably averted his gaze, "Ah... it looks like they're starting to argue."
Ji Fei's attention was immediately diverted. Argue? How?
She pulled Qin Xian closer to eavesdrop.
Gossip! Big gossip! The invisible wife and the visible rumored girlfriend are at odds!
