Tianqing said indignantly, “Why is it that we can’t even call you Mr. Qin?”‘
“Yeah,” Kesi agreed, befuddled. “Is calling you ‘Mr. Qin’ also inappropriate?”
“Originally, no, but since Jiang Jiang wants to call me Mr. Qin. It’s inappropriate for others to call me Mr. Qin.” Mufeng had a faint smile on his lips. His eyes were the shape of crescents when he turned to her. “After all, this is her nickname for me.”
Jiang Xun: “…”
This man could take his nickname and shove it! Everyone called him the same thing!!!
“Actually, now that I think about it, her calling me Mr. Qin isn’t bad at all…” Mufeng had already deluded himself into thinking this was reality. “Wives normally introduce their husbands to strangers like this…”
Mufeng paused for a few seconds. The corners of his lips curled up. “Not bad indeed.”
Just by hearing him, who wouldn’t know whom his words were directed toward? Tianqing and Kesi didn’t stand a chance at all.
Having finally had enough, Jiang Xun took a deep breath. “Qin Mufeng!”
Mufeng hurriedly turned his head to look at her.
“Hahahahaha, President Qin turns his head so quickly.”
“He looks exactly like the boyfriend who thought he was in trouble when his girlfriend called him by his full name.”
“Come with me for a moment.” Jiang Xun turned around and walked in front after he finished speaking with a dark expression.
“Cameramen, please stop filming us for now.” Jiang Xun’s tone was much gentler when he spoke to the two cameramen.
Right now, Mufeng looked exactly like a boyfriend who was in trouble. He was obviously much taller than Jiang Xun and was quite imposing, but right now, he resembled a big ,docile cat, obediently following Jiang Xun around.
The two cameramen could only quietly ask Shuli whether they should follow them, to which Shuli could only let out a long-suffering sigh.
He was tired.
Jiang Xun alone was enough to give him a headache, but as it turned out, Qin Mufeng, the one man he couldn’t afford to offend, was the one who was out of control, yet he couldn’t do anything about it.
Where did he get the courage to invite these two to his reality show?
Never mind being a hot topic, he could absolutely go viral with these two. But he couldn’t control them!
“Let them go. Don’t follow them.” Shuli sighed and covered his eyes.
He was seriously considering letting Mufeng and Jiang Xun leave after two episodes.
Although there were two of them and there was enough tension to leave the audience wanting more, he simply couldn’t control the both of them!
There were things that they weren’t allowed to shoot, so how could he keep streaming this?!

Jiang Xun brought Mufeng outside the villa.
There were cameras everywhere in the villa, so having a simple conversation was inconvenient at best and one would run the risk of being overheard by someone.
“What are you trying to do?” Jiang Xun stopped in her tracks and turned to him, her face sullen.
Mufeng had an innocent look on his face. “What do you mean?”
“I don’t know why you’re participating in the show,” Jiang Xun glared at him, “but even if it’s a love story, you don’t have to say those words in front of everyone and the camera.”
“So are you saying that I can say those words off-camera?” Mufeng asked.
“Qin Mufeng!” Jiang Xun stamped her foot. “Stop playing dumb!”
“Why did you say those words?” She clarified, “What do you mean by ‘you won’t allow anyone else to call me Jiang Jiang’? What do you mean by ‘wives normally introduce their husbands to strangers like this’? These are obviously misleading words, so why would you say them out loud?”
“You don’t need to promote yourself by dragging me into some kind of internet shipping couple. I also don’t have the intention to do so.” Jiang Xun sighed helplessly. “If you say things like that, it’ll be too easy to make people misunderstand. After you enter the villa, stop with these kinds of words.”
After Jiang Xun finished speaking, she saw that Mufeng was still silent, to which she frowned. “Say something.”
“I was waiting for you to finish.” Mufeng lowered his head and looked at Jiang Xun. His temper was unusually good, and his low and gentle voice even gave Jiang Xun the illusion that he was only ever gentle when it came to her.
Her ears were slightly red as she said, “I’m done talking.”
Mufeng sighed. For some reason, Jiang Xun thought she could hear an undertone of helplessness and fondness in it, but she hurriedly shook her head. She must be out of her mind. Why would she think that?
“I didn’t say anything that would cause a misunderstanding.” Mufeng’s low and slow voice slowly entered Jiang Xun’s ears.
She opened her mouth to refute his words, but Mufeng slowly said, “Because it wouldn’t cause any misunderstandings.”
Jiang Xun was stunned. Did she hear him correctly? Was she understanding him correctly?
Did she not misunderstand?
“Can’t you see that I’m pursuing you?” Mufeng was somewhat helpless against her denseness. His eyes were suffused with a gentle light and a faint smile.
Jiang Xun subconsciously took a step back.
Mufeng: “…”
With a deadpan expression, he pulled her back and grabbed her wrist, refusing to let go. “Why are you trying to escape?”
“Didn’t you say that you’re not interested in immature little girls?” Jiang Xun blurted out.
If this were a japanese anime, Mufeng would’ve had some black lines running down his forehead. “…Don’t lower yourself to the level of the idiot who said that.”
Besides, didn’t he already explain it to her last time? Why was she still hung up on this?
Jiang Xun blinked at him.
…Was it really okay for him to call himself that?
Mufeng cleared his throat. “Otherwise, why would I participate in ‘Accelerated Flight’? Why would I participate in this kind of reality show? During ‘Accelerated Flight,’ because you were going, I just wanted to participate with you. There was no other reason.”
“And this time, I didn’t have the time to come to the villa last week. After work, I caught up with the livestream, which made me nervous. I was afraid that you would be coaxed away by the male guests in this program,” Mufeng tried his best to explain.
He was afraid that if he didn’t explain properly, it would lead to yet another misunderstanding
“That’s why I came quickly for this episode.” Mufeng exhaled. “That’s why I’m chasing after you.”
Jiang Xun’s wrist felt as if it was burning. She hadn’t had time to properly prepare for Mufeng’s sudden confession.
“You don’t have to bear the burden.” Mufeng carefully observed Jiang Xun’s reaction. “I’m the one who’s pursuing you. I don’t want you to give me an answer right away; I’m just letting you know that I’m pursuing you, so don’t be surprised if I say or do anything else. You don’t have to worry about people misunderstanding things because it’s not a misunderstanding at all.”
“I’m sorry for accusing you of those things. I’ve never done anything that I regret, but every time I look back on my actions that night, my heart is filled with regret,” Mufeng said. “At that time, I was a bastard, but can you find it in yourself to give this bastard a chance?”
Of course, it didn’t matter if she didn’t give him a chance. After all, this pursuit was one sided.
He didn’t ask Jiang Xun to give an immediate answer because even if she didn’t agree, and if there were other people pursuing her at the same time, he could guarantee that those people wouldn’t succeed.
Mufeng narrowed his eyes slightly. He wasn’t lacking in confidence or methods that he could use to get Jiang Xun, and he could definitely direct that confidence and those methods at anyone who had their eye on her.
Jiang Xun didn’t say anything. She shook off Mufeng’s hand and turned around to return to the villa.
