This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 468 - 344

（Don’t look yet, three hours of revisions, adding the title means it’s done. Last revision of this month....）

The deafening fireworks and firecrackers made it impossible to hear a single human voice.

Zhang Li and Han Yan both craned their necks, looking towards the Dragon King Temple square.

It didn’t take long before a team of over a dozen giant drums and gongs, so big they needed wheels to be moved, came into view, leading the procession with a thunderous beat.

Next were two dragon dance teams, rolling down the street, pushing back those who had crossed the lines and those in narrow sections of the road, clearing the way for the parade.

Following them were the squad leaders and coachmen, swinging whips and wobbling as they walked and jumped around.

These two roles were also to clear the way, but unlike the dragon dance teams that relied on formation, their methods were much more "rough."

They both held whips and would actually lash out if needed.

They’d not only whip those in the way but also interact with the nearby spectators.

"Ah!"

Zhang Li screamed as one of the squad leaders jumped right in front of her and swung a whip towards her, making her step back hurriedly.

The crowd behind her was packed, so she had nowhere to retreat, and not only got hit by the whip but also tripped slightly, losing her balance.

Wu Mu quickly supported her.

"Thank you." Zhang Li glanced at Wu Mu’s steadying hand and then slightly looked up at his masked face, thanking him shyly.

But the noise of the fireworks and firecrackers was so loud, they couldn’t hear each other.

However, Wu Mu could guess what she meant by reading her lips. He leaned a bit closer to Zhang Li’s ear and shouted with a smile, "Don’t dodge! The tradition is that getting whipped by the squad leader makes you smarter and brings better luck next year."

Hmm, indeed there’s no need to dodge.

The spot where she got whipped didn’t hurt at all, clearly, it wasn’t a hard hit.

Zhang Li watched the squad leader, who had jumped to another side and continued interacting with the tourists using his whip, and nodded.

Next to her, Han Yan was watching her best friend too. She glanced at her friend, then at Wu Mu, and whispered, "He seems like a handsome guy. Lili, you should get his WeChat."

Zhang Li rolled her eyes at her. novelbuddy-cσ๓

But handsome guy...

It did feel that way, even though his face was covered, and his clothes were thick, hiding his figure. Just looking at his hands and overall impression, he seemed very refreshing.

Following the squad leaders and coachmen were the Yingge dance teams. Behind them came the parade of gods.

But it wasn’t yet time for the main Dragon King to appear; instead, there were various Divine General Tower Bone figures.

These were hollow sculptures shaped like various deities, with people inside supporting them as they moved.

These Divine General Tower Bone figures included both the old sculptures passed down through generations based on mythological characters and new ones created by villagers.

So, their numbers were vast, with one or two hundred figures wobbling along, stopping occasionally to interact with bystanders, and it took them over an hour to pass.

A wave of cheers, even louder than the firecrackers, rolled from afar.

Though Nangang is a small city and not well-known,

its divine parade is indeed worth seeing, very lively, with the dragon dance leading the way, and the drum team following, beating the giant drums and gongs that had to be pulled by wheels.

But before he reached the hotel, he unexpectedly spotted a familiar face by the roadside.

Hmm, what’s she doing here?

Wu Mu curiously looked at a figure standing in front of a restaurant.

It was Su Meng, whom he had met a long time ago during the first season of Star Agency.

At this moment, she was standing beside a red Ferrari, looking angry and arguing with someone inside the car.

Wu Mu couldn’t see the person in the Ferrari, but it was clear that the person had a temper too, as not long into their argument, the driver stepped on the gas, leaving Su Meng behind.

Su Meng was left standing there, frowning at the departing car.

Wu Mu smiled and drove over, lowering his window, and joked, "Hey Su Meng, long time no see."

Su Meng turned to look at him, appearing surprised.

This was only their second time seeing each other in person.

But Su Meng seemed to follow his updates quite a bit, as Wu Mu often received feedback from her about his new songs on WeChat.

They didn’t chat much, just simple comments like saying the songs were great.

Hmm, whether she’s a hater or a fan, at least she’s contributing to his viewership.

Wu Mu laughed and said, "Did your driver ditch you? Need a ride?"

Su Meng hesitated for a moment, "Let me inform my family first."

"Aunt Qing, you don’t need to come over. Yes, a friend is giving me a ride home. Okay, I got it."

After she made the call, Su Meng opened the passenger door and got in.

After confirming her destination, Wu Mu curiously asked, "Aren’t you from Shen City? Why are you here?"

Su Meng shook her head, "I am from Shen City, but my family also has a house here in Beijing."

She paused and rarely showed a smile, "Earlier, we were at the venue too. My friends almost wanted to cover their ears during your first song."

Wu Mu laughed out loud, "That’s not my fault, I didn’t have any problems singing."

As they chatted casually, Wu Mu soon drove Su Meng to her home, which was a large courtyard house in the Upper City District, not far from the Forbidden City.

Hmm, confirmed, she’s from a wealthy family.

Wu Mu was quite surprised. Although he could tell that Su Meng’s family was probably well off from her daily behavior and speech,

he didn’t expect them to be this wealthy.

A courtyard house like this would probably cost at least

While Wu Mu was preparing for his second performance, the live broadcast of the 67th Gala, delayed by half an hour, finally started.
