Chapter 291: 291: Discovered the secret~ (Third Update)
The main characters from the movie "Fahai Doesn’t Understand Love" were chatting enthusiastically under the guidance of the host from the show "Happiness, It’s My Call." Later, they played a few group games; naturally, no one would break up the Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang CP, so the host filled in when they were short on people.
In Jiang Nuo’s group, because they had the unbeatable ace Mu Qiuniang, they won all the athletic competitions, no matter what they were.
Xu Dachang exclaimed that Mu Qiuniang wasn’t human, questioning how a woman could have such great stamina. It’s one thing for Jiang Nuo to be amazing, but why did she have even better athletic reflexes than him?
Jiang Nuo proudly said, "Didn’t you know, in our house, I’m always the one being overpowered by her strength?"
The audience laughed, "We know!"
They hadn’t forgotten that during their first appearance on a variety show, Jiang Nuo had once been angrily slapped by Mu Qiuniang, landing flat on the sofa.
Everyone was having a great time, except for Lian Nicang, who was a bit left out, often becoming the overlooked one. If the host didn’t occasionally mention her, she would almost have been off-camera.
There was no way around it; it wasn’t that people wanted to exclude her. It was just that the news she made before, barging into Jiang Nuo’s hotel room in the middle of the night, was too significant, leaving a deep impression that they couldn’t easily forget.
Moreover, everyone involved in this promotion knew the Jiang Nuo couple would attend, so they didn’t even invite her, but she "parachuted in" anyway. If there wasn’t some inside story, who would believe it?
So naturally, whether it was the four hosts or people like Xu Dachang and Wei Manman, who originally supported Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang being together, they were on guard against her.
Whenever she seemed to get close to Jiang Nuo, they would quickly change the subject, using little actions to block her.
As for Lian Nicang herself, she seemed somewhat distracted. Several times she tried to take advantage of recording opportunities to get close to Jiang Nuo, only to be stopped, making her somewhat depressed and unable to focus on the show.
As a result, even when they tried to give her a chance to perform, she had very few opportunities.
By the end of that episode, she only had a few chances to show her face before Jiang Nuo appeared. Afterward, she stood on the side like a doll.
Even so, she was still unwilling to give up. After the recording ended, she directly avoided her agent’s tracking and confronted the Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang couple.
"Jiang Nuo, I want to talk to you!"
Jiang Nuo, who was sweetly coaxing his wife, looked up and saw her, and immediately his smile faded.
"I have nothing to talk about with you!"
Even knowing the "We’re in Love" crew was filming, Jiang Nuo couldn’t put on a good face. He truly couldn’t understand why there was anything left to discuss after everything that had happened with this woman.
It’s not that he was a petty man, but shouldn’t such things be avoided?
"You must talk to me!" Lian Nicang insisted firmly.
Jiang Nuo found it somewhat amusing, "Why? Lian Nicang, you need to understand, we’re not even that familiar. If you hadn’t randomly stirred up that news, we would have only met a few times while filming the movie, with no interactions afterward. Why do you act like I owe you something?"
"You do owe me!" Lian Nicang showed an aggrieved expression, "I just like you, what’s wrong with that?"
"I don’t want to repeat this topic. Lian Nicang, I really think you should see a doctor. Your behavior right now is concerning, understand?" A normal woman, upon seeing that the man is taken, wouldn’t cling so shamelessly, would she?
In hindsight, Jiang Nuo thought, Lian Nicang probably had a mental illness.
With such a person, it’s better to be cautious. To avoid trouble, and not to bring any issues to his wife!
Lian Nicang directly turned her confrontational stance towards Mu Qiuniang, "Is it you who won’t let him talk to me? Why? Do you think you deserve Jiang Nuo? He’s so outstanding, so many people like him, and what do you have? You just claimed him first, preventing anyone else from getting close..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuo was displeased. Wasn’t there someone saying he wasn’t worthy of his wife just a moment ago? How did it become in Lian Nicang’s mouth that his wife wasn’t worthy of him?
He really couldn’t understand what these people were thinking; he and his wife were perfectly matched and very happy, weren’t they?
Can they say there’s a happier couple in the entertainment circle than them?
If that’s not compatible, then what is?
Those couples who appear harmonious but are actually at odds?
Mu Qiuniang stopped Jiang Nuo from speaking, took a step forward, and said, "You’re right, I did grab the opportunity first, so he’s my husband now. If you feel it’s unfair, then sure, you can try finding a way to reverse time and meet him before I did. If you can’t do that, there’s nothing more to say."
Although Mu Qiuniang wasn’t as tall as Lian Nicang, her aura was strong, and her words had the distinct tone of a "dominant CEO."
In essence, what she meant was—strength determines everything. If you don’t have the competence or luck, then you don’t have a say.
"This is unfair!" Lian Nicang gritted her teeth.
"In this world, nothing is fair. Either you have good luck, or you have strong capabilities. If you lack both, sorry, please step aside!"
Lian Nicang was unwilling to accept this, "Do you know what kind of person Jiang Nuo is? He’s an international superstar; he needs a better platform and space for development. You’re just an orphan, not that attractive; what can you offer him? You can’t support him at all, so what strength do you have to talk like this?"
"Sorry, but my wife does have that strength." Jiang Nuo, holding Mu Qiuniang’s hand, said, "Everyone thinks I just had good luck entering the entertainment industry and smoothly reached where I am today. But that’s not the case; it’s always been my wife supporting me from behind, allowing me to have such a smooth sailing career. Even my current achievements fall short in front of her. Honestly, I’m just a man living off my wife’s support, reaching where I am today because of her!"
"Why do you speak of yourself like that?" Mu Qiuniang slightly frowned.
Although she did have his back, it was more about preventing accidents. She never meddled with his choice of roles or the results. His achievements were entirely his own effort!
"I really did reach where I am today because of you!" Jiang Nuo was forthright, looking at her with eyes full of affection, and said, "Those who know nothing think you’re not a match for me; those who know a little think I’m not a match for you. But only we know how well-matched we are, which is why we don’t have to care about what others say or think. We just have to live our lives well and stay happy together, and that’s enough!"
