However, given the current development of the situation, Ji Qingzhou didn’t want to make a bigger fuss. Moreover, Ren Zhen proposed this statement herself, and Qin Weiming just went along with it. It was a case of ‘they asked for it, they got it.’ As an outsider, he didn’t need to say so much about it.
Chu Cheng said, “Why are you apologising to me? I told you, you don’t have to apologise to me. I never thought highly of you. You go and apologise to Yu Anyi and Ji Qingzhou.”
Qin Weiming had no choice but to walk up to Yu Anyi, saying to her, “I’m sorry.”
“No, I can’t afford it; I’m afraid I’ll join a faction to bully you.”
Qin Weiming felt embarrassed, while Ren Zhen glared at Yu Anyi disapprovingly. In response, Yu Anyi glared back at her on the spot and said, “What are you staring at? Do you think only you have eyes?”
“He has already apologised. What else do you want?!”
“Must I forgive him just because he apologised?! He lied first, said I couldn’t handle losing, and even accused me of conspiring. Now he says sorry, and I’m supposed to say it’s okay? He’s your husband, not mine. You may think his apology is a big deal, but I don’t care! I am not going to indulge this bad habit of his!”
Ren Zhen was angry. Qin Weiming just wanted to end the matter as soon as possible, so he looked back at her, suppressed his annoyance, and said, “Stop talking.”
Ren Zhen dropped the matter.
Qin Weiming then turned his head to look at Ji Qingzhou. Speaking of this matter, he was the gunpowder and Yu Anyi was the fuse, but Ji Qingzhou was the fire that ignited the fuse and set off the explosive fire.
Although he didn’t talk much, every time he spoke, he went straight to the heart of the matter. Compared with Yu Anyi, Qin Weiming was more unwilling to apologise to him. But Chu Cheng was brought to the show by Ji Qingzhou, which proved that the two of them had a good personal relationship. When the monk looked at the Buddha, he could only bow his head and say, “I’m sorry.”
“No need.” Ji Qingzhou replied. In fact, he didn’t expect the situation to escalate this much from the beginning. His intention had merely been to make a playful remark, prompting the host to count the money and then jokingly point out that Qin Weiming’s amount was incorrect. The host would have then made a few casual remarks to add humour, and the matter would have been smoothly brushed aside.
Unexpectedly, Qin Weiming jumped higher than anyone else. He even kept putting on airs and accused others of putting on a dunce hat, which made the situation worse. Now that Qin Weiming had bowed his head, Ji Qingzhou didn’t want to continue dragging this out.
“Then let’s continue recording.” Qin Weiming now only wanted to finish the recording and go back to his house as soon as possible to avoid further embarrassment.
Ji Qingzhou looked at Chu Cheng. He didn’t seem to be affected, but he didn’t know what Chu Cheng was planning. He quarrelled with Qin Weiming just now and wanted him to leave. Was he fine with continuing recording now?
Chu Cheng glanced at Yu Anyi, asking for her opinion. He himself didn’t care about Qin Weiming; it didn’t matter if he was present or not. However, he cared about Ji Qingzhou’s and Yu Anyi’s feelings. Ji Qingzhou had said ‘no need’, which was almost an acceptance of Qin Weiming’s apology, but Yu Anyi didn’t seem to want to accept it.
When Yu Anyi noticed Chu Cheng looking at her, she knew he wanted her to make the decision. She was straightforward by nature, and in normal life, she would have probably finished arguing with Qin Weiming and gone her separate way—out of sight, out of mind.
However, they were filming a variety show. Lian Jingxing had been preparing for the show for a long time and clearly had high expectations for it. Now that Qin Weiming had already apologised and was seemingly willing to continue fulfilling his contract, if she forcibly drove him away, there would not only be liquidated damages for the breach of contract, but it would also harm the reputation of the production team. It would be a waste of all the efforts Lian Jingxing had put in.
So Yu Anyi reluctantly glanced at Qin Weiming and said, “Record it; just don’t cause any trouble.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Lian Jingxing didn’t expect that she would say this. He thought that with Yu Anyi’s personality, even if she didn’t drive Qin Weiming away, she would not talk to him again. He didn’t expect that she would say such a thing.

“Okay.” Chu Cheng didn’t care much about this matter. “I didn’t intend to intervene in this; it’s just that I didn’t like Qin Weiming threatening the program team with your name.”
“Weiming is not sensible, so you don’t have to bother with him. I will teach him a lesson later, don’t worry.”
“En.”
“Then you go record it and have fun.”
Chu Cheng laughed. “Thank you for your kind words.”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and returned it to Qin Weiming.
Qin Weiming looked at him with a peculiar expression, looking dissatisfied and unresigned, before finally turning and walking to the other side.
After Qin Shuang finished the call with Chu Cheng, he dialled the director’s number and informed him that he and Chu Cheng had reached an agreement. He assured him that he would not withdraw the investment, and Chu Cheng would not invest either. He apologised for the incident that occurred today and promised that such incidents would not happen again in the future.
Seeing that the situation had come to an end, the director quickly responded, “Okay.”
When the Gods fight, the ones who are frightened are those beneath them. Although he knew that Chu Cheng’s status was extraordinary, he thought that Chu Cheng would be similar to him. But in a fight, Chu Cheng actually won.
It seemed that this unobtrusive one was the real Buddha.
The director quickly switched into work mode, instructing the camera crew to start filming. The guests adjusted themselves and prepared to re-record the show.
The host stepped forward and positioned himself, going on to count the money for each group. During the process, he interacted with the guests, adding some humorous moments and easing their tension.
When he reached Qin Weiming, he took out his money. As the host counted it, he instantly understood why Qin Weiming wanted to lie about it. The difference was significant. While everyone else had a total of 40, Qin Weiming’s group only had 38, which was significantly less.
The host announced “38.”
Ren Zhen answered with a smile, “I’m good at filming, but I’m really bad at selling goods.”
The host picked it up immediately, and the two sang together, seeming harmonious.
“Then the last place this time goes to Ren Zhen and Qin Weiming.”
Ren Zhen laughed at herself. “Am I a black hole of games in this variety show?”
Ji Qingzhou thought she was very good at this. Even though she had just experienced something unpleasant with everyone, she adjusted her mentality very quickly. Not only could she act as if nothing had happened, but she also posted a “Game Black Hole” character set on herself. She really fit into the entertainment circle very well.
“Okay, now come and get your ingredients for today’s dinner. It’s a pity that Ren Zhen’s group got nothing. But it doesn’t matter; you still get two apples.”
Ren Zhen took the apples and thanked him.
Lian Jingxing stepped forward first and took the best ingredients, followed by Ji Qingzhou. Everyone took the ingredients corresponding to their ranking. When it came to Yu Anyi, she was holding two steamed buns, looking like she was at a little bit of a loss.
“Now, all guests can go back and prepare today’s dinner. After dinner, we will have a wonderful bonfire party. Everyone is welcome to attend.”
Everyone said “Yeah” and walked back with their ingredients.
Seeing that Yu Anyi and Guan Xiayun only had two steamed buns, Ji Qingzhou invited them. “Anyi, why don’t you come back with us and have dinner at our house?”
Yu Anyi was still wondering how to eat the two steamed buns. When she heard his words, she immediately felt relieved and said, “Okay.”
She handed the steamed buns to Ji Qingzhou. “Here you go, the food expenses.”
Ji Qingzhou took it over. “Perfect, I can fry sliced steamed buns for you.”
“Okay.” Yu Anyi said happily.
Seeing this, Guan Xiayun smiled slightly at Ji Qingzhou and said softly, “Thank you.”
Chu Cheng looked at her silently.
The four of them returned to Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng’s house. Ji Qingzhou washed his hands, opened the refrigerator, and took out some vegetables.
“Let me wash the vegetables for you,” Guan Xiayun said.
“Okay, you can wash these.” Ji Qingzhou put the vegetables into a basin.
Guan Xiayun got a basin, scooped some water from the water jar, and started washing vegetables, while Ji Qingzhou started washing rice.
They didn’t have a rice cooker here, so the rice had to be steamed on the stove. Ji Qingzhou didn’t want to make a fire yet, so he didn’t rush to steam the rice. After Guan Xiayun finished washing the vegetables, he started chopping them.
“What are you planning to make?” Guan Xia Yun asked him.
“Just these vegetables. I’ll make scrambled eggs with fresh tomatoes, stir-fried green beans with eggplant, stir-fried bell peppers with meat, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes.” He replied, “Oh, and we can also fry some sliced buns.”
“Okay, then I’ll help you and chop the vegetables for you along the way.”
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.” Guan Xiayun said, then thought of something and laughed. Her whole person looked very bright and gentle. “We are also taking advantage of you.”
Her voice was very soft, and it sounded very comfortable. Ji Qingzhou felt that her personality and Yu Anyi’s straight-forward personality were somewhat complementary. No wonder the two could become friends. He handed the eggs to Guan Xiayun and asked her to break the eggs into a bowl while he started peeling and shredding the potatoes.
Ji Qingzhou’s knife skills were good. Guan Xiayun watched his movements and couldn’t help but praise him. “You cut shredded potatoes much better than me.”
“The more you practise, the better.”
“Then I’ll try it when I get back home.” Guan Xia said, taking a tomato. “Let me help you cut this.”
Ji Qingzhou said, “Okay.”
They didn’t have a kitchen in this house, so Ji Qingzhou put the chopping board on the table and cut the vegetables on it. Chu Cheng originally wanted to help him, but Guan Xiayun took over the job, and she was obviously better than him, so he didn’t do anything.
He leaned to one side and watched Guan Xiayun and Ji Qingzhou chat while chopping vegetables. He could see the faint light in Guan Xiayun’s eyes when she looked at Ji Qingzhou—she had Ji Qingzhou in her eyes.
Chu Cheng thought for a while, then turned around and said to Yu Anyi, “Come on, I’ll show you our stove.”
Yu Anyi followed him without any suspicion as they stepped outside. Chu Cheng pulled Yu Anyi to the side and said to the cameraman, “We need to talk for a moment. Give us two minutes, please.”
After saying that, he dragged Yu Anyi to the back of the pear tree in the yard.
Yu Anyi turned off her microphone and then helped Chu Cheng turn off his microphone, asking in confusion. “What are you going to tell me? Why are you being so mysterious?”
Chu Cheng asked her, “Does Guan Xiayun like Ji Qingzhou?”
The author has something to say:
Anyi: ???!!! What are you saying??!! [Confused face.jpg]
Chu Cheng: …I can see that you are the one who is the slowest in our group!
Anyi: ????
The Author has something to say to her readers:-
This chapter originally ended with “What do you want to tell me? Why are you being so mysterious?” I was worried that you would ask me in the comments again about what she said, so I had Chu Cheng respond [facepalm]. This time, there’s no need for more questions [crying laughing].
The incident involving Qin Weiming is actually not a big deal, so there’s no need to escalate it to the point of him leaving the show. In the future, he won’t cause any more trouble, and he even hopes to improve his relationship with Chu Cheng through this program, although that is unlikely. As for him shifting the blame onto his wife, as Ji Qingzhou said, they both willingly accepted it, so outsiders cannot intervene. After all, his wife continues to wholeheartedly protect him even after shouldering the blame.
Translator’s note:- Hi as you know I had advance chapters with discount and bonus chapters on Ko-fi so that you guys can support me and get something in return too and enjoy. But I have realized rn that taking international payments from a third party(like Ko-fi with Paypal or stripe) is hard in my country due to several restrictions. So, if anyone from now on, wants to read the advance chapters or do the bonus chapter on CG then you can contact me on my discord ID chasingmyinsanitywithbl and we can communicate. Sorry for the trouble.
Thanks for the update. 😗💕
I’m glad it didn’t have to escalate.
I really don’t like how disrespectful Qin Weiming was to his wife, but i guess the author is right in saying outsiders can’t interfere if both parties willingly accept it!
Thanks for the update!
Btw,CC really ask the wrong person 🤣🤣
Thank you for the hard work~~~~
I do find uncomfortable how he disregarded his wife and yelled at her but the author has a point. Anyways, she’s an adult and quite quick-witted. I hope her relationship develops well from now on.
