After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All-Chapter 118 - : Si Chenli’s Provocation

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Si Chenli’s Provocation

Meng Wangge was full-on autistic as she stared at Lin Weichen, their relationship at best could be considered friendship, and nothing more.

Lin Weichen remained completely calm, as if lost in thought, with nothing seemingly able to catch his attention.

Only Sang Qiao and Si Chenli made eye contact, and then like nothing had happened, shifted their gazes away from each other. The moment their eyes met, ripples surged within their hearts.

[I’m dying of laughter haha, goddamn “good feelings,” as if you all don’t have “disgust for each other” written all over your faces!]

[This has to be the worst cast the director has ever had, right? I bet barely any couples will form after the show ends.]

[Holy crap, did you guys see the way Sister Qiao and Brother Li looked at each other just now? Despite always looking for loopholes, at this critical moment, they didn’t detest each other, it seemed like they were actually into each other!]

[Ah, I’ve always said, my Sister Qiao and Brother Li are the real deal!]

[Guys, please don’t randomly ship couples, learn from Sang Emperor and Liang Mengyun’s lesson!]

“Director, why don’t you just tell us what it’s about,” Xu Mianmian urged, noticing the undercurrents between the guests. She couldn’t help but feel strange.

Isn’t this a romance show? There doesn’t seem to be any romantic atmosphere between them.

“Well then, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer, the location for the third episode is a beautiful place, full of snow-covered mountains. Doesn’t that sound atmospheric?”

The director was quite proud of himself. It was a location conjured up by his team’s day and night considerations.

The key point was that the costs were low there, which could save a significant amount of the budget.

“We’re going to…freeze to death. It’s already so cold, who cares about atmosphere at this point.”

Yao Hui was dumbstruck. It was already cold nearing winter, and the production team outdid themselves by choosing a snowy location. Were they trying to ensure no one could get up in the morning?

“Pffft haha.” Meng Wangge couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Yao Hui’s comment was a mood-killer, but…it was also true.

Director: “…”

Sighing, he gave up on hoping this rebellious cast would cooperate, “We’ll talk about the specific filming content once we get there. For now, everyone please get your luggage and board the bus. Our vehicles will take you to the airport.”

“Alright.”

The group of them boarded the bus, each with only about one suitcase, not a lot. Mainly because the crew did not inform everyone in advance, they didn’t know the shooting would be in such a cold place, so they didn’t bring very thick clothes.

Meng Wangge had always been standing and hence the uneasiness she felt around Sang Qiao wasn’t that obvious, until she sat on the bus, taking the seat on the inside, with Si Chenli sitting on the outside.

Although there were others in the back row, the bus’s backrests were high, and you couldn’t see the back without raising your head.

Sang Qiao’s ears still bore the earrings he had given her earlier. She couldn’t explain why she hadn’t taken them off; the design was truly beautiful and delicate.

She understood the saying, “Obligation begets compliance,” and didn’t want her upcoming shooting with Si Chenli to be in a constant state of awkwardness.

She thought for a moment, turned her head to look at the man beside her, “When’s your birthday?”

“November 7th,” Si Chenli’s thin lips moved as he spoke, his tone as usual, as if there wasn’t the earlier tinge of confrontation between them.

“Okay, I’ll also give you a gift on your birthday.” Sang Qiao nodded her small head, quietly memorizing the date.

The man chuckled softly, gazing at her serious expression, his voice lowered, “Hmm, good horses don’t eat the grass behind them, are you a good horse?”

Sang Qiao: “!”

Her clear eyes whirled rapidly, originally when she had just arrived he had considered that he might bring up their last pointed confrontation. However, he had said nothing about it, instead acting as if nothing was wrong.

She had gradually relaxed, and naturally, she hadn’t prepared words for a response. Now that he suddenly asked, Sang Qiao’s brain momentarily crashed.

It took her several moments to respond, “I am a human, not a horse.”

“Sang Qiao, stop pretending, think about it carefully,” Si Chenli’s Adam’s apple moved slightly as he looked down at her fluttering eyelashes, as if stirring the heart further.

He gave her a lot of time, and now it was the last period. Moreover, he could feel that she was not averse to him.

Si Chenli had the patience to wait until the end, just as he would not hesitate to act when it was time. The carefree girl had to confront matters clearly when necessary.

Sang Qiao’s heart raced, she almost dared not look into his eyes.

She knew his black eyes would become so gentle and engrossing when he spoke in a lowered voice.

Sang Qiao’s lips parted, her voice so light that almost only she could hear it.

“You couldn’t really be like everyone says, seeking revenge for my rejection of the engagement, could you? That’s simple, you could just announce our engagement, then declare in a few days that you want to break it off. There’s no need to consult me.”

Si Chenli, having exceptional hearing and sitting quite close, heard every word she uttered without missing a beat.

He was immediately amused, “Have you ever seen me waste nearly two months just for revenge?”

Sang Qiao knew the answer, no.

Every minute at the Si Family brought in a huge amount of profit, and Si Chenli’s usual method of revenge was swift, not wasting a single minute.

She just couldn’t believe that he would be interested in a woman who had broken off their engagement during his worst times.

The broken engagement was a coincidence, as her interest in their arranged marriage had always been lacking. She didn’t like him then, and with a six-year age gap, she was mildly disdainful.

Sang Qiao hadn’t forgotten that at her immature sixteen, her standards for a partner had been a handsome man taller than 188 cm, and he could only be at most three years older than her.

So, she had been uninterested in Si Chenli, who did not meet her age criteria, and had wanted to break off the engagement long ago, but her treatment abroad had delayed her. Upon returning, she placed the matter at the top of her list.

At that time, she had guessed it would hurt him, but if she didn’t break it off, their wedding date would soon be upon them!

Sang Qiao had initially tried to be kind, but when the Si Family absolutely refused to agree, she was forced to utter those hurtful, harsh words.

She had expected Si Chenli to fly into a rage, but to her surprise, he was calm, with a husky voice as quiet as water, he simply said: “I agree to the annulment.”

And so, their relationship was severed from there, and afterward, she was occupied with mending relationships with her brothers, not bothering to catch up on Si Chenli’s news.

When they met again, she was the one in a pitiful state, lying in the hospital with serious injuries and no one by her side.

Recalling these events, Sang Qiao’s thoughts became somewhat complicated.

“Sang Qiao, I will treat you well for a lifetime. It’s impossible for me to hurt you, even at my own expense. Do you understand? Think about it carefully and give me your answer before the end of the third period,” Si Chenli said, seeing her silence, he couldn’t help but speak more gently, knowing the concerns in her heart.

But he could only gradually show his sincerity through his actions.

“Okay,” Sang Qiao nodded, her clear eyes stealing a glance at him, and seeing his calm and reassured expression, she felt a great deal better.

She thought to herself, if she were to refuse, she would wait until the last day of the third period – after refusing, she would run!
