Chapter 168: So Cute

Changqing was speechless. Alright, maybe men wouldn’t like makeup when they kissed no matter how light or thin the layer of foundation was. However, wall paint was an exaggeration. Detestful Song Chuchu.

She was complaining in her heart, but when the program began and she saw Song Chuyi sitting right at the front, she was a little dazed. What was that thing Song Chuchu was holding in his hand?

It was a lightstick.

Song Chuchu, who was holding a lightstick, looked so pink and so cute.

After her little moment of infatuation, when her gaze met those deep and cold eyes, Changqing was so nervous she was in a dazed state. She had to perform better to leave a lasting impression on Song Chuyi that she was an extremely stunning and outstanding host so that he would never belittle her again.

From beginning to end, she performed as though she was on steroids.

Zuo Qian, who often hosted with her, quickly detected a difference. He noticed that tonight, her face blushed many times and when she danced, her movements were a little stiff and she often glanced at a certain spot.

After he looked in the direction of her gaze a few times, he saw that elongated silhouette sitting in the first row. Although he was sitting in the corner where the light was dim and he wasn’t conspicuous, just sitting there tranquilly, his features were still so perfect that Zuo Qian felt ashamed.

A bitter and sour feeling seeped from his heart. However, as an outstanding host for many years, he still finished the program recording while holding it in.

After recording for more than three hours, the hosts and guests reached the end of the program while making a racket.

The guests for today were Xiong Zhikai and Wu Tian, who came often and were familiar with Challenge to the End. The moment they ended the recording, they started calling out to have supper in Northern City.

Changqing found it hard to reject their friendly invitation but was really tired. Just as she was in a dilemma, Song Chuyi suddenly walked up from downstairs with a hand in his pocket, looking coldly at her and said, “Let’s go.”

Changqing was in a daze. The others were also in a daze. The staff, hosts and guests in the recording studio all looked at this man who suddenly appeared. His elongated silhouette was enveloped with an aura of nobility and sterility. Standing in front of the currently popular Xiong Zhikai, he was clearly taller and Xiong Zhikai’s looks in comparison made one feel that Xiong Zhikai lacked some inherent aura.

In the past, there were also times when many audience members refused to leave and dashed up on stage to take a photo. However, they were normally very quickly pulled away by the staff.

This time, in front of Song Chuyi, the surrounding security officers didn’t even move.

They had seen way too many powerful and influential people at the station; they could recognize some of them right away.

“Changqing, this is…?” Wu Tian smiled ambiguously as she asked.

Changqing didn’t expect Song Chuyi to come up on stage so brazenly as well. This was akin to letting everyone at the station know that she had a man.

However, this wasn’t disadvantageous to her. In contrast, she even felt a little proud.

Not everyone could find such a handsome boyfriend.

“He’s my…” Changqing stuttered. She hadn’t decided whether to say boyfriend or husband and her face blushed. The others all thought she was shy.

At that moment, Song Chuyi suddenly put his arm around her waist gently and said softly, “Apologies. She’s been filming in Hong Kong lately and hasn’t been back for a week. Tonight, she’ll have to accompany me, so she won’t be joining the station’s festivities tonight.”

“Oh.” Wu Tian pulled her voice as she made eyes. “Understandable, understandable. This can be considered a reunion after a short separation. You’ll definitely want to spend time together. We won’t disturb you then. However, we’ll definitely have to have a meal together next time.”

“That won’t be a problem…” The moment Song Chuyi finished with a smile, Mei Zong suddenly walked over, smiling from ear to ear. “Young Master Song, are you leaving now? Why don’t you stay around for a while more?”

“There’s nothing much to do,” Song Chuyi said lightly.

Everyone saw how he was so cold and impolite towards Director Mei, yet she still wasn’t angry, smiling like before while saying that she wanted to personally see Song Chuyi off.

Everyone took it all in and all of a sudden, the way they looked at Changqing changed too. Everyone knew Mei Zong was known to be a snob. After all, she wasn’t polite and didn’t fawn over normal people.

After walking out from the recording studio, Changqing went to the dressing room to change. The makeup artiste chattered around her. “Changqing, what kind of background does your boyfriend have? He seems very impressive.”

Changqing wasn’t the kind who liked to brag and only said with a smile, “He’s a doctor.”

“No way. Would a doctor make Director Mei act so reverent and respectful?” The makeup artiste didn’t really believe her.

Changqing only smiled lightly and didn’t reply.

In the hallway outside the dressing room.

Zuo Qian came out first and saw the man leaning in front of the window. He felt a little dazzled.

He had never thought Changqing would like a man like this and not a shrewd man like Fu Yu. It seemed like he didn’t fit in well with the people in their industry.

Song Chuyi also looked at him and took the initiative to nod. “Teacher Zuo, hello.”

Zuo Qian walked over with a forceful smile and shook his hand. “My pleasure to meet you.”

“Same,” Song Chuyi said lightly. That wasn’t a lie. Although he had never paid attention to the happenings of the entertainment industry and wasn’t interested in gaming programs at all, Zuo Qian was indeed a talented person. He had graduated from America’s Chicago University and when he returned to China, he took on the role as a host for a program on laws and he had even published many books on law. However, Zuo Qian had never stopped learning. He wasn’t just an accomplished host; at the same time, he was an artist, a writer and also the vice-president of an Arts institute.

Now that the entertainment industry had become increasingly commercialized and hyped up these last few years, Zuo Qian was one of the few in the business who got all the way to where he was today by upholding his style of being more low-key.

Song Chuyi respected someone like that.

Although he could sense that Zuo Qian had certain thoughts for Changqing based on his men’s intuition.

However, with the two working so closely and intimately together, Zuo Qian was way better than Fu Yu solely based on the fact that he hadn’t done anything rude.

“Mr. Song, what’s your occupation?” Zuo Qian asked gently.

“A doctor.”

Zuo Qian was shocked.

Song Chuyi asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”

“I was quite shocked; I didn’t think Changqing would go for a doctor.” Zuo Qian shook his head, feeling upset. “Looks like I still don’t know her well enough.”

“Then what kind of person does Teacher Zuo think Changqing would go for?” Song Chuyi asked him back with a slight smile.

Zuo Qian was stupefied. Actually, he had never considered this question. He only thought it would be good if it was him.

He pondered for a while and answered the question seriously. “I can’t really tell, but I think that for Changqing, it would be better if the man was more mature.”

“… Perhaps.” Song Chuyi smiled without expressing his opinion.

The door behind Zuo Qian opened up once again. Changqing came out with her little purse slightly in a rush and when she saw the two of them in the hallway, she was stupefied. “Teacher Zuo…”

“You’re done changing so soon?” Zuo Qian’s gaze became dull when he saw her eyes glimmering brightly. “I was just having a little chat with Dr. Song.”

“What were you chatting about?” Changqing asked curiously.

“Actually, we didn’t really talk for long before you came out.” Song Chuyi looked at his watch. “It’s getting late, so we’ll take our leave first. Goodbye, Teacher Zuo.”

“Goodbye.” Zuo Qian waved his hand.

He stood behind them as he watched the pair walking further away, hand in hand.

At the carpark, Changqing had just opened the door of Song Chuyi’s car when she suddenly said, “Hang on a moment: I have to get some things from my car.”

“Go ahead. I’ll wait for you in the car,” Song Chuyi said.

Changqing’s car was also in the carpark. She ran over and took something out from the trunk and jogged back to his car.

Song Chuyi glanced at the plastic bag in her hand. From the brand, he felt that it should be a men’s item. “For me?”

“Who’s giving it to you?” Changqing cast him a glance, covering it up tightly.

“Forget it then.” Song Chuyi started the car engine expressionlessly.

Changqing stared at his cold features for a while before handing it over with a pout. “It was for you. How unromantic.”

Song Chuyi was a little speechless. He really didn’t understand her idea of romance.

“What’s that?” he asked.

Changqing opened it up excitedly to show him. It was a brown men’s wallet. The brand looked quite expensive. “Isn’t it nice? I spent quite a sum of my money on it.”

“I recall… that your expenses in Hong Kong were paid for from my card, right?” Song Chuyi didn’t hold in his diss.

“…” Changqing said with thick skin, “What’s important is that I could’ve used that money and spent it all on getting what I wanted, but I bought less of what I wanted to accommodate your gift. So, shouldn’t you feel touched?”

“You’re only good at twisting words.” Song Chuyi shook his head while laughing.

“I don’t care. In any case, you have to use this wallet from today onwards. Pass me your wallet, and I’ll transfer over your things for you,” Changqing said.

Song Chuyi was a little hesitant and took his old wallet out from his pocket.

Changqing opened it and took a look. The wallet wasn’t big, but it was filled with a thick stack of red notes.

Besides, he owned seven to eight bank cards alone. He not only had diamond cards but he even had black cards.

Changqing mustered her courage and pulled out a black card carefully, taking in a deep breath. “Chuchu, could this be the legendary black gold card that can get you anything as long as it’s legal?”

“You’re exaggerating,” Song Chuyi said without batting an eyelid.

“I’m not exaggerating.” Changqing was in disbelief. “This card is the same as owning a genie lamp. Any kind of aircraft, high-end hotels, sports cars and yachts—you can just use this card to your pleasure. Chuchu, you’re really a sage acting as an ordinary person. Did I save the entire milky way in my past life to be able to marry you?”

Song Chuyi curled his lips. He was very satisfied with the last line.

“You’re not wrong. You must’ve saved the Milky way.” He nodded his head thoughtfully.

Changqing suddenly seemed to have recalled something and said with a snort, “Say, you’re so rich, but you only gave me five hundred thousand when I went to Hong Kong? Aren’t you a little too petty?”

“Alright then. Next time, I won’t even give you five hundred thousand.” Song Chuyi raised his eyebrows.

Changqing made a face at him. “I’ve decided. Since you’re so rich, from today onwards, I’ll work hard to spend money in case you look for other women on the outside.”

Song Chuyi let out a laugh. “This card was given by my family. I don’t use it unless I have to usually. What you spent is less than what I earn.”
