They arrived at the TV station forty minutes before the shooting was supposed to begin. Shan Yatong sat quietly to the side, accepting the surprised looks from the staff. He flipped through a fashion magazine on the sofa.

After putting on his makeup, Luo Yanqian sat down next to Shan Yatong. He looked at the magazine in his hand, which was showing a well-known female model. pYmqd

“Do you like this model, Maggie?” Luo Yanqian grabbed the magazine from Shan Yatong’s hands. He threw it to one side. “The program will be recorded soon. You should check the program arrangements.”

Shan Yatong looked at his empty hands. He asked, “How much longer until we start recording?”

“We still have ten minutes to go. I heard they’re still putting on makeup for the special guest, and once they’re ready, we’ll start recording.” Luo Yanqian said absentmindedly, “Wait a little longer.”

“En, ” said Shan Yatong plainly with his eyes closed. He leaned against the sofa, kept his spirits up and thought about the unexpected situations he might encounter later. Kg52xR

“Yanqian, Yatong, the program is about to start. Please come backstage with me to prepare.” The staff went up to the two people, deliberately inspecting Shan Yatong who was resting with his eyes closed.

Shan Yatong opened his coffee-colored eyes, and looked at the female staff with a friendly smile, as if he wasn’t the slightest bothered by her almost rude gaze.

The female staff member blushed and looked away, gesturing for him to come with her.

Shan Yatong’s soft laughter made her blush even harder. Leading the two people in, she seemed to be at a loss. It was just that Shan Yatong’s smile really gave the feeling of Prince Charming, so gentle that it made people’s hearts ache.

In the backstage lounge, there was already someone sitting inside. In front of Luo Yanqian, he was shocked to see this person surrounded by staff members. The special guest was him?!

Shan Yatong was only a step behind Luo Yanqian, and was surprised when he saw Xiao Qishen. He didn’t expect that he would participate in this kind of variety show. With Xiao Qishen’s current status, most of the TV programs he participated in would also involve special interviews. With the participation of The Heavenly King today, no wonder the TV crew were so tense.

Seeing Shan Yatong and Luo Yanqian entering, Xiao Qishen smiled and nodded to the two.

“Xiao-Ge,” Shan Yatong smiled nervously at Xiao Qishen, and then sat down with Luo Yanqian. FD8B0Q

Xiao Qishen could see the lack of acknowledgement from Luo Yanqian’s eyes. He smiled and asked Shan Yatong, “Yatong, did you receive the news from the company?”

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.

Luo Yanqian frowned. He looked at Xiao Qishen with unfriendly eyes, though they were well masked. What did Xiao Qishen mean by that?

Shan Yatong was puzzled, but he smiled faintly. “Really?” He stopped questioning him any further.

Letting artists from other companies know things that he unexpectedly did not know, shouldn’t really be a bad thing. Otherwise his assistant’s reaction would not be so calm.

Seeing Shan Yatong’s lack of reaction, Xiao Qishen quirked an eyebrow. This little artist’s reaction was really fascinating. Wasn’t he at all curious? mBkro9

“Yatong,” Luo Yanqian got close to Shan Yatong. He carefully picked out a small white fluff from his hair.

“Your eyesight is very good.” said Shan Yatong, looking at the almost negligible fluff on his hand.

“Of course. Nobody had better eyesight than me back when I was in school.” Luo Yanqian smiled, leaning closer to Shan Yatong. “I can even see the fluff on your face.”

Shan Yatong tilted his head back, looking up with a smile. “Ah, really?” Why was Luo Yanqian behaving so intimately in this moment? 2nhmML

Xiao Qishen smiled as he watched the interaction between the two teenagers. “Flying Entertainment’s most popular, Luo Yanqian, is that close to Shan Yatong?” He asked the assistant beside him in a low voice.

The assistant thought for a bit. “I haven’t heard anything about these two before, but I’ve heard that Luo Yanqian is not easy to get along with.”

Xiao Qishen examined the so-called person who didn’t get along with anyone, chatting so easily with Shan Yatong. He frowned. This was someone who wasn’t easy to get along with?

He saw the staff beside Luo Yanqian say something to him. Luo Yanqian got up and left. xlE rG

It seemed that he was ready to go on stage. Xiao Qishen looked at the expression on Shan Yatong’s face. There was no anxiety, no expectation, only a faint smile.

Standing next to him was a man in his twenties, who looked to be his assistant. There wasn’t much conversation between the two. Compared to other stars and their assistants, these two seemed to get along a little differently. They didn’t seem to have much rapport built.

Recalling his position in Flying Entertainment, Xiao Qishen frowned. It seemed that this assistant and Shan Yatong hadn’t been together for long and yet they weren’t getting along.

After all, the mutual understanding between an artist and their assistant was extremely important. Besides, Shan Yatong was in no position to have his own assistant, not to mention his own partner’s reputation was far above his. pdJrAZ

As Shan Yatong came on stage, he listened to the audience’s scattered applause. He said, with a gentle smile, “Hello everyone.”

“Just a moment ago, Yanqian also talked about Yatong. It seemed that what he said has some truth to it.” The host stood on the right side of Shan Yatong, and said with an exaggerated surprise, “I heard that Shan Yatong can cook! Is that true?”

Facing the camera, Shan Yatong stared wide-eyed at the host. “Ah, you’ve all heard about this?”

“That’s right. I just heard that Yanqian got to eat something personally cooked by you. All our female friends in the audience are a little jealous of Yanqian!” IKg09E

“Ah,” Shan Yatong winked. “I thought people would be more envious that I got to cook for Yanqian.”

His cute expression immediately drew screams from the female audience members.

The host continued to ask Shan Yatong and Luo Yanqian some more interesting things about each other. She asked Shan Yatong to sit next to Luo Yanqian, teasing them with a few words. Then she led their conversation onto the topic of the mysterious guest.

Xiao Qishen came out and sat opposite Shan Yatong and Luo Yanqian. The audience screamed at the appearance of King Xiao, so excited that they all seemed to lose control of themselves. 4oOSxH

Shan Yatong observed the crazy audience with a perfunctory smile on his face.

In just a few years, Xiao Qishen had such a misplaced position. Besides his looks and talents, he also had the financial strength of his family.

Four years ago, he didn’t even know of a Xiao Qishen in the entertainment industry. But he did know of the Xiao family and their significant financial resources. The leader of the Xiao family had a great aptitude for business. That man was remarkable.

“Qishen, I heard that you will be playing as Lin Qi, the leading role in Lincheng. Can you tell us what’s interesting about this film?” The host asked with a smile on her face, but in a respectful tone. yvodZ

“The movie is excellent throughout. If I had to tell you, I’m afraid we would go overtime with today’s recording. I hope that you’ll go and watch it in theatres. Besides, hearing the story is not as exciting as seeing it, don’t you think?” Xiao Qishen diverted the topic with a smile. For such a large production, it wasn’t a good idea to reveal the plot so far in advance.

The host heard the diplomatic rejection in his words, and in return tactfully exclaimed, “Ah, hearing Qishen say this is quite moving. I really wish I could watch such an anticipated movie earlier.”

Listening to the host and Xiao Qishen verbally spar, Shan Yatong stayed smiling.

“Well, today we’re going to play a game called ‘I ask, you answer’.” The male host took out a small box. “The three guests here today will each draw a question. Some questions may ask you to demonstrate a talent, or maybe it’s too risky and you’re more likely to answer a question that’s relevant to you. Are you three ready?” osVIGn

“I’m looking forward to it.” Xiao Qishen said with a smile, immediately drawing more screams from the audience again.

Luo Yanqian rubbed at his chin. “This seems like a fun game.”

“We wouldn’t want to disappoint Yanqian.” said the female host with a smile. “Yatong seems very worried. What are you afraid of?”

“I’m a little nervous.” The teenager looked up at the camera, his coffee-coloured eyes glimmered in the light. His appearance encouraged maternal feelings from the women in the audience. u6rc1C

The female host smiled softly and said, “Don’t worry, Yatong. I’ll wish you good luck.”

“It seems like we’re favouring especially beautiful teenagers like Yatong, huh?” The male host laughed. “You can’t just favour our lovely Yatong like that, can you?”

“Ah, it’s hard not to like such a cute boy.” The female host’s exaggerated love-struck expression amused the audience, eliciting bursts of laughter. Shan Yatong blushed and ducked his head, as if he was shy from the attention.

Looking at Shan Yatong react like that, the female audience screamed loudly. heigIv

Luo Yanqian looked at Shan Yatong to his side, somewhat dumbfounded. Even just like that, it was still hard for anyone to look away from Shan Yatong.

  1. oooh 2 potential ML’s? I dont think they said which was the ML!

    To be honest, I am not feeling either of them at the moment lol

    thanks for the chapter <3

    • Good point, unless they introduce a 3rd ML, it will probably be Xiao Qishen just due to his position in the industry and families wealth. Unless some sort of cold CEO comes along, I think it will be him. It will probably get fluffier later, I think this initial part of the novel is just to keep showing how amazing the MC is that he is surprising everyone in the industry.
