Shang Guang rushed to explain. “By then, you’d have to attend all such events with Xi-ge.”

“I know, I can’t embarrass Xi-ge.” Bai Qi nodded with an obedient look in his eye.

Xi Chengyun threw an indifferent glance at Shang Guang.

Shang Guang wanted to say something but in the end, he wimped out.

“Let’s go home,” Bai Qi said.

Surprisingly, he didn’t make an issue out of it.

Shang Guang is Xi Chengyun’s manager and had maintained a good relationship with him for many years. Their relationship wouldn’t only be limited to work. It was natural for Shang Guang to be on his guard around him. So, Bai Qi didn’t take such things to heart.

“Yes, yes,” Shang Guang replied.

His eyes were gleaming with thankfulness when he looked at Bai Qi again.

When they reached home, Bai Qi gave another call to Mu Dong and the rest.

Mu Dong said, “We won’t be going to Jiang Fangcheng’s engagement ceremony...”

“Let’s go, why shouldn’t we?” Bai Qi questioned.

Mu Dong was stunned for a moment. “Qi Qi, do you mean...”

“Just bring your stomachs along and you’d better not bring a single cent! Jiang Fangcheng is rich, so having a meal there would totally be worth it,” Bai Qi said.

Mu Dong thought for a bit and realized it was true. He then said, “Oh, I also want to give the bride a small reminder that Jiang Fangcheng is a shitty person, he kept wanting to have his way with you.. Sigh, forget it, that won’t do. What if the bride ends up hating you?”

Bai Qi recalled the image of Jiang Fangcheng’s fiance. “She wouldn’t.”

“Fine.” Mu Dong then thought, ‘Then I’ll take that as a green light,’ before he ended the call.

Bai Qi looked at the time on his phone and he gradually felt a sense of nervousness in his heart.

A talk show differs from a reality show.

He felt that it was easier for them to be caught off guard on a talk show.

Bai Qi turned to look at Xi Chengyun.

Xi Chengyun was flipping through a new script. When he sensed his gaze, he immediately raised his head and met his eyes. “Hm? What's up?”

“Tomorrow, if the host were to ask how we met… what do you think if I say that it’s because I’m a fan?” Bai Qi asked.

Xi Chengyun put down the script and gave a soft laugh. He looked at him and said, “A sasaeng who came into power?”

“...That won’t do, your fans would tear me into pieces,” Bai Qi said.

Xi Chengyun nodded in agreement.

“Since this reason wouldn’t work, then what should I say?”

“Say that we met during one of my events.”

“Oh, okay.” Bai Qi paused and continued, “Then? You fell in love with me at first sight? How was I back then which made you fall in love with me at first sight?”

Xi Chengyun remained silent.

He stared quietly at Bai Qi.

Bai Qi sighed. “Fine, let’s just say that we grew to love each other. Coming up with a story for a relationship that started due to love at first sight is too difficult.”

Xi Chengyun finally opened his mouth again and said, “Briefly write down the places you’ve been to in the past 3 years for me.”

Bai Qi nodded and immediately went to fetch some pen and paper.

Within less than half an hour, a new piping, passionate love story was born, which saved a lot of work on Bai Qi’s end.

Bai Qi felt that Xi-laoshi was so reliable with all of his heart.

The next day, Bai Qi and Xi Chengyun reached the filming site early. The staff was still setting up the live broadcast cameras when they reached.

“Please, follow me,” a staff member politely escorted them backstage.

Bai Qi entered the dressing room while Xi Chengyun stood outside the room and chatted with the television director in a low voice.

“Hey, isn’t this an old piece from LV? It’s not sold in the market anymore.” The makeup artist’s sudden voice brought Bai Qi back to reality. Bai Qi took a glance and realized that the makeup artist was talking about his small backpack.

There were slight signs of wear and tear on the backpack and the ‘LV’ letters could be clearly seen.

A small smile graced Bai Qi’s face. “Nope.”

The makeup artist turned away and muttered, “So it’s a fake product? It’s not impossible, since he was nothing before his marriage to Xi-laoshi.” By the time the makeup artist turned back, there was a smile on that person’s face, but their words weren’t very friendly as they said, “Didn’t you ask Xi-laoshi to buy you a new one?”

Bai Qi cocked his head, his expression entirely pure as he replied, “I can buy one for myself if I want to. Why should I trouble Xi-ge? After this show, the appearance fees that I’d get would be enough for me to buy a couple of these.”

Words were stuck in the makeup artist’s throat, and the person silently cursed that Bai Qi was a cunning vixen who was unfashionable and materialistic.
