Chapter 138 - Does She Know She’s Acting Coquettish Now

Jiang Xun was speechless.

If the school bully trio or Yu Bingbing were here, they would say they had never seen Jiang Xun so obedient.

Mufeng exhaled before letting go of Jiang Xun.

Finally, he looked at her regretfully and reluctantly. “Get out of the car.”

His voice had yet to recover, and it was still very hoarse.

Mufeng got up and moved aside.

Jiang Xun leaned on the back of the front seat and moved to the middle seat at the back. Then, before she could take a step out, she suddenly sat back down.

Mufeng turned back. “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Xun didn’t have the guts to say it. She had thought that Mufeng would kiss her, but he had teased her so much that her legs had gone weak. She had no energy at all!

Jiang Xun didn’t speak, but her blushing face betrayed her.

Seeing that Mufeng was just looking at her without speaking or getting out of the car, Jiang Xun glared at him, red-faced.

What was this person looking at?!

Mufeng suddenly understood. He chuckled hoarsely, and it was very seductive.

......

The redness on Jiang Xun’s face didn’t fade but intensified. She kicked his calf and pretended to be fierce as she bared her teeth at him. “What are you laughing at?!”

Mufeng wanted to film her reaction for her to see.

Did she know that she was acting coquettishly now?

Mufeng’s smiling eyes were gentle and were like warm jades. “Let’s rest for a while before getting out of the car.”

Jiang Xun took a few deep breaths and tried to move her legs. Then, when she felt much better, she stood up and said, “Get out of the car.”

It did not take more than a few seconds.

Mufeng felt a little regretful and had no choice but to leave the car first.

He and Jiang Xun got out of the car and saw that the cameraman had switched on the camera and was rolling.

“Is this scene being live-streamed?” Mufeng suddenly asked.

The program team staff was also there. They were stunned and said, “No, the livestream is still over at the other guests’ place. We are shooting fillers now.”

Mufeng then called Shi Shuli. “Director, delete the footage of us in the car just now and don’t stream it.”

Shuli did not respond.

Although they were not livestreaming Jiang Xun and Mufeng, Shuli saw the footage reflected on his screen.

The footage of Mufeng pressing Jiang Xun against the car window was intense.

If this were broadcast, the show would explode in viewership.

However, now that Mufeng had mentioned it, Shuli didn’t dare to keep it a secret. He could only say, “Okay, I’ll cut it out.”

Mufeng hung up the phone before entering the villa with Jiang Xun.

The other guests hadn’t returned yet. Even Ren Jiayi, who was alone, had disappeared.

Only Mufeng and Jiang Xun were left in the villa other than the program team.

“I’ll go back to my room,” Jiang Xun said hurriedly and quickly walked back to her room.

Fortunately, Jiang Xun had a room for one, which was much more convenient.

Mufeng didn’t dare to chase after her too closely, so he went back to his bedroom for the time being.

After Jiang Xun returned to her room, she switched off all the cameras before she could sigh in relief.

Jiang Xun’s face was red. She was annoyed and embarrassed. Then, with a grunt, she buried her face in her palm.

After a while, Jiang Xun took a few deep breaths to calm herself.

She found Wang Yicheng’s number and dialed it.

“Brother Wang.”

“Jiang Jiang, you guys are back at the villa?”

“Yes, we just arrived.” Jiang Xun sucked her lower lip and hesitated for two seconds before she told Yicheng, “Brother Wang, I want to quit after filming tomorrow’s episode. I’m not doing it anymore.”

Mufeng was also there. If she continued filming, she couldn’t guarantee that she would be able to regain her composure as she did today.

Moreover, Jiang Xun didn’t overthink the interaction between her and Mufeng. She just didn’t want to be captured by the cameras for some reason.

Actually, she wasn’t the one who regained her composure today. It was Mufeng who withdrew first.

If Mufeng didn’t hold back, she would have given in even if she had persisted for another second.

With Mufeng around, she wouldn’t be able to continue filming calmly.

“What’s wrong?” Yicheng asked worriedly. “What happened? Did someone bully you on the show?”

Although Yicheng felt that the program team’s guests wouldn’t bully Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun suddenly wanting to withdraw made Yicheng very worried.

“No.” Jiang Xun found an excuse as she panicked. “Am I not going to start filming in a movie? Although the filming time is not long, at most a week, I will have to prepare for the exams when I am done with the movie. I don’t have time to be in this show. If I have to miss so many episodes, I might as well quit. I can also ask the program team to add new guests so that I won’t be taking up a participant’s spot but not being present. I feel bad for the program team.”

Yicheng thought about it and felt it made sense, so he said, “Alright. I’ll talk to the director.”

Yicheng hung up and immediately contacted Shuli.

Fortunately, Shuli had already expected this. When he heard what Yicheng said, he was not surprised and agreed readily.

Yicheng repeatedly apologized to Shuli. He even said that when Shuli was free, he would treat him to a meal and settle this.

Yicheng called Jiang Xun back. “It’s done. The matter has been settled.”

“Brother Wang, thank you.” Jiang Xun was especially embarrassed. “I only speak. I can come and go as I please. If I don’t want to go, I’ll quit. Yet, you have to clean up this mess for me.”

“Hey!” Yicheng voiced his disapproval, “Why are you being so polite with me? Isn’t that what managers do? If I can’t even do this, what’s the point of me being your manager? Don’t feel pressured. These are things that I should handle.

“Moreover, Director Shi is very reasonable and isn’t difficult to deal with.” Yicheng was an experienced manager. He had already figured out most of Shuli’s thoughts by talking to Shuli on the phone. “From Director Shi’s reaction, it seems he has already expected you to quit. That’s why he wasn’t surprised at all when I mentioned this. Moreover, they have quite many candidates on their list. So even if you don’t quit, another female guest will be in the next episode. After all, isn’t there one more male guest now? So they can find a female guest to fill in if you quit.”

Jiang Xun’s heart tightened. If she quit, wouldn’t it be perfect for Mufeng if another female guest joined the next episode?

Instantly, Jiang Xun felt like someone was squeezing her heart like a lemon. Her heart was filled with jealousy.

Would Mufeng quit after she quit?

Jiang Xun hung up the phone with this question in mind.

Yicheng, on the other hand, couldn’t stay idle. He called Mufeng immediately.

While waiting for Mufeng to pick up, Yicheng suddenly thought of the word ‘henchman’.

Yicheng didn’t know what to think.

Ptooey!

Why did he think of this?

He was only reporting the situation to the CEO!
