1451: What Was Going on?!

What Was Going on?!

Lin Liye had asked him if he remembered any other woman apart from his family members.2

And Shi Xiaoya's face had flashed across Han Zhuoling's mind.

For some strange reason, not only did he remember Shi Xiaoya's face, but he also remembered Shi Xiaoya's name.

Han Zhuoling's gaze landed on Shi Xiaoya for a few moments before moving to Qin Zigou at her side.

And finally landing on the gap between the two of them.

Their arms were nearly touching each other.

Slightly too close.

Qin Zigou recovered first, calling, "Mr. Han."

As he was greeting him, he was thinking, What's with Han Zhuoling's gaze?

Though looking at them was normal, Qin Zigou felt as if his arm was getting numb under his gaze.

He unconsciously shifted to the side, putting more gap between him and Shi Xiaoya.

And suddenly, he felt the tension leave his body. Han Zhuoling's gaze had reduced its intensity.

Qin Zigou: "…"

What Was Going On?

"Mr. Han." Shi Xiaoya also greeted him.

Han Zhuoli nodded lightly.

He recalled the lists of hosts given to him by the production team.

He might be one of the MCs, but more importantly, he was the big financial backer of the show.

The production team would hide the MC's name list from anyone but him.

Looking at Qin Zigou, he remembered that he was also one of the hosts for Survivor. That meant he was also here for the first week.

Then what was Shi Xiaoya doing here?

He was curious, but his expression remained unchanged as he entered the hotel after the cool greeting.

Qin Zigou, Shi Xiaoya, and the other two followed.

The more Qin Zigou walked, the more he found it wrong. He whispered to Shi Xiaoya, "Damn, this isn't right, is it? Why are we walking like some underlings walking behind the big boss? It's wrong!"

He was Qin Zigou from the Qin Family! He couldn't embarrass his family name!

Alas, Han Zhuoling stopped before the elevator. Shi Xiaoya truly did not want to take the same trip as Han Zhuoling. The atmosphere was too oppressive.

But Han Zhuoling brought only his assistant, Tong Chunian, with him, and it would seem weird if the four of them did not enter the lift, which held only the other two.

While they were waiting for the lift, Tong Chunian asked politely, "Mr. Qin, Ms. Shi, are you both here to join the program as well?"

Qin Zigou replied, "I'm here as a host. She's here as a makeup artist."

Tong Chunian was surprised. "Never thought that the production team could manage to invite Ms. Shi as a makeup artist who has to follow the celebs around."

Shi Xiaoya smiled shyly. "It'll be quite challenging."

Qin Zigou's eyes landed on Han Zhuoling as he inquired, "Mr. Han is here as…?"

"As an MC." Han Zhuoling opened his mouth coolly.

Shi Xiaoya thought her brain must have short-circuited, for she blurted out, "Never thought that the production team could successfully invite Mr. Han."

Han Zhuoling thought to himself, Wasn't it because I'm single?

The lift came, and Qin Zigou and Shi Xiaoya both invited Han Zhuoling to enter first.

They then went in with their own assistants.

Han Zhuoling said little else, looking at the levels the lift indicated, then looking at Shi Xiaoya and Qin Zigou. He suddenly spoke. "You both are close."

"Haha, that's right," Qin Zigou said, all good brotherly-like. "I agreed to become an MC because I heard that she's coming to be a makeup artist here. Don't be fooled just because she's so famous in the industry. She's actually really daft and is easily bullied in such environments."

Shi Xiaoya couldn't stand the last point. Turning around indignantly, she said, "Who says I'm easily bullied?"

"Just look at your character. You don't want to admit it?"
