Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 536 - 18: After Divorce, the Cannon Fodder Joins a Romance Variety Show
This task concerns today’s lunch, Jiang Lai looked down at her watch, with fifty-eight minutes left.
During this time, she needed to find the following ingredients: authentic island native chicken, yellow potatoes, green onions, ginger, garlic, and a handful of island-specific spices.
The island is not large, and there’s only one market which the locals often visit, approximately five kilometers from the seaside villa, not too far.
Seeing everyone set off, Jiang Lai hopped directly onto her bike, pedaling over to Murong Yan’s side.
"Are you getting on the bike?"
"I can walk myself."
"Alright, I’ll go find the ingredients first; I expect to see you at the market in fifteen minutes."
Murong Yan frowned impatiently, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted not using some means to kick Jiang Lai out earlier.
Looking back now, it was like digging a pit for himself to jump into.
Next, she would probably demand him to cycle and carry her.
This trick, really, he’s seen enough of it.
After being married for a few years, what don’t they know about each other? Jiang Lai’s self-assumed cleverness and scheming are useless compared to Qingqing’s generosity and kindness, utterly worlds apart.
"No matter what, I won’t ride the bike to..."
Carry you.
With a "whoosh" sound, something flashed by his side.
It was Jiang Lai, explosively speeding away on her bicycle.
It felt like a gust of wind swept past his ear, so fast it almost made him suspect her bike had an engine.
Murong Yan stood stunned, watching the faint remnant of Jiang Lai’s silhouette, his breathing slightly irregular.
She rode off.
She just rode off like that.
Leaving him alone!
And where he was standing was a full five kilometers from the market!
[What the heck just swept past me!]
[Quickly, go watch Jiang Lai’s streaming chase! Hahaha, it’s killing me with laughter in there!]
[Jiang Lai’s competitive spirit is too strong, it’s not even a competitive variety show, why make it so tense?]
[It’s really annoying when some slackers criticize others’ efforts without wanting to try themselves, is there any point?]
[Isn’t Jiang Lai usually the one who likes to cozy up to the Domineering President, why run so fast this time?]
Under the follow-up camera, Murong Yan walked alone in a well-tailored casual suit on an unshaded highway under the scorching sun.
The morning temperature was already high, the hot waves seemed to roll under his feet as he felt like steaming food, about to be cooked.
His breathing was a bit difficult, he took off his jacket and continued walking.
Does this damn task absolutely have to be completed?
On second thought, Murong Yan suddenly realized he didn’t need to try so hard, he didn’t care about winning or losing anyway, why make it difficult for himself.
With that in mind, Murong Yan walked directly towards the follow-up car parked by the roadside, opened the door, and sat inside.
"Teacher Murong, what you’re doing violates the rules."
The director’s voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Murong Yan enjoyed the air conditioning inside the car, sighed, and said helplessly.
"Without providing me transportation, how do you expect me to complete the task?"
"The transportation has been provided, how to use it requires you to coordinate with your partner."
"My partner went off on her own, she’s so capable let her complete the task herself then."
Anyway, he wouldn’t do anything laborious without gaining any benefit.
Originally he participated in the love variety show for Shang Qingrao; now that she’s not here, there’s no point in trying hard.
The director was also silent on the other end.
After a good while, he finally spoke up.
"Yan, we’re participants in the show after all, just treat it as fun, the importance is in participating."
Murong Yan squinted his eyes and sighed again.
He invested some money in this show, so the director was very courteous to him, and facing the live streaming cameras, to maintain the company’s image, he decided to play along.
"Then let me rest a while longer, it’s really too hot outside, how about arranging another means of transportation for me?"
He set the rules, naturally, the director couldn’t break them.
Moreover, Murong Yan was indeed quite cooperative, so there was no choice but to let him rest longer.
Half the time passed, Murong Yan leisurely got off the car.
[The Domineering President was completely forced into this, no desire to face Jiang Lai at all]
[His special fondness for Qingqing really hits me; girls truly can’t resist this unique love]
[I can’t watch anymore, is Jiang Lai doomed having such a partner?]
[There’s no choice since Jiang Lai and the Domineering President were paired up, she could’ve asked for a team switch at that time, yet she didn’t even think about changing teams]
The live chat was filled with discussion, and whenever comments unfavorable to Murong Yan appeared, they were quickly drowned by a large number of CP-shipping comments.
At this time, Jiang Lai, surprisingly keeping pace with an electric bike, arrived at the market, she didn’t rush to buy things like the other two teams, instead headed straight to the nearby health management center.
"Auntie, hello, I’m here on a vacation. I’ve long heard there’s a famous dish on the island called potato chicken.
I want to try cooking it myself but can’t find some ingredients, could you kindly help me take a look at where I can buy them?"
[Jiang Lai is so smart! Searching on her own might waste time and potentially lead to getting ripped off, asking a local for help is much easier]
[Everyone, look closely, Auntie has a red armband, she’s an administrator, her main feature is enthusiasm]
[Hahaha, my treasure really takes the tasks seriously!]
[Taking shortcuts, it’s tiring dealing with this kind of person]
[It’s dealing with your kind of nitpicker that’s truly exhausting!]
After a while, under the guidance of the health administrator, she headed straight to the bustling and categorized market, and within ten minutes, she bought all the ingredients.
When Murong Yan arrived at the market, only ten minutes were left.
He looked around, and just then saw not too far away, Shang Qingrao was wearing a sun hat and holding several bags.
He hurried over, conveniently bought her a bottle of water.
"Such hot weather, why not buy a bottle of water?"
As he spoke, he unscrewed the cap and handed over the water.
Shang Qingrao’s eyes were full of Murong Yan, smilingly taking the water and drinking a sip.
"We have quite a lot of meat in our ingredients, can’t just spend money recklessly."
Murong Yan frowned.
What kind of rubbish show is this, only a hundred bucks to buy groceries, what can you buy with that?
"Why didn’t you drink more?"
"Saving some for Weiwei, she also hasn’t had any water."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yan immediately went to the store to buy another bottle.
"It’s just a bottle of water, drink it first to take care of yourself."
Shang Qingrao looked into Murong Yan’s eyes, silently smiling.
[Oh my god, in the frame it feels like there are pink bubbles floating out!!]
[Who can resist Qingqing’s gaze, any man would fall for it]
[Am I the only one curious, where did the Domineering President get the money to buy water?]
When Jiang Lai returned with the groceries, she happened to see Murong Yan buying water for Shang Qingrao.
