Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Marital Discord

Mu Ran’s tense nerves finally relaxed.

Xiao Jin stepped forward and held her aunt’s hand, comforting her, “Auntie, I remember the way, I’ll lead you out, it’s not scary here!”

“Okay.” Mu Ran was as white as a sheet, her voice a bit floaty.

Her legs were also a bit weak.

After following Chu Xijin through barrier after barrier, they finally saw the light. Mu Ran had never loved the sun so much and never wanted to punch someone more!

After leaving the haunted house, Mu Ran began searching for Yang Yingying’s figure, only to be told she’d gone backstage.

The assistant director hurriedly comforted her, “Director Mu, we’ll be having a meal soon. You’ll also watch a video of children sharing their thoughts with you, and since you ranked first, you’ll get five vouchers for dishes, so you’ll eat well later.”

“Is that so~” Mu Ran gave him a cold glance, her lips forming a straight line, her narrow eyes suddenly glinting with a cold light, a fierce expression climbing to the corners of her eyes and brows, the violent energy coursing through her.

The assistant director’s forehead was covered with a sheen of sweat, stammering, “Yes… yes…”

“Auntie, let’s go rest.” Chu Xijin tugged at her clothes, feeling that his aunt was quite fierce right now.

The assistant director quickly retreated into the crowd.

In his heart, he thanked the young prince a million times.

Mu Ran closed her eyes, thinking about her breakdown and embarrassment in the haunted house, her anger still unable to subside, but she heeded Xiao Jin’s words and found a cool place to sit down.

But her whole body exuded an icy aura, even from afar, you could feel her aura of deterring strangers.

[Hahahahaha…]

[Director Mu’s experience in the haunted house was definitely the most embarrassing in history, it’s normal for her to be angry.]

[So pretentious, getting so worked up over a show, just being a diva!]

[You can feel how much Director Mu dotes on Xiao Jin, even at the peak of her anger, she listened to him when he spoke!]

[Another piece of material for a ghostly remix!]

…

Mu Ran and Chu Xijin kept waiting outside.

Waiting for everyone to gradually come out, only Mao Ziyang’s group remained calm, while the others all looked pale.

Everyone sat down to wait for the crew to arrange the next segment.

Meanwhile, all the guests sat far from Mu Ran, it was clear at a glance that her mood was bad.

Even when she’s in a good mood, she’s formidable.

When she’s in a bad mood, she’s a ticking bomb!

Ready to blow any moment!

The assistant director told everyone to eat, and also brought over a screen to play each child’s message to their parents in order as they ate.

Mao Ziyang got emotional and wanted to cry upon seeing Mao Xiaomiao.

When it was Mu Ran’s turn, she raised an eyebrow, watching with interest. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Xiao Jin was a little uncomfortable. She guessed, “You didn’t say anything mushy to me, did you?”

Chu Xijin’s face turned red from neck to ear!

He stumbled over his words, unable to say anything.

He thought when he told the crew, it would only air online. Who knew it would play live.

The moment he heard his voice, Chu Xijin ran over to Zhu Wenzhen, so embarrassed!

Mu Ran kept her gaze fixed on the screen where the child suppressed tears.

Her heart swept over by a warm current, tinged with an ache.

Her Xiao Jin was too sensitive and so mature.

He had never been properly treated, so when someone offered him a little kindness, a bit of security, he was profoundly grateful.

[Director Mu is so cold…]

[I thought she’d be moved and explain, but nothing!]

[Not a single tear in her eyes!]

[Our young prince was wrongfully devoted after all.]

…

On site, many were covertly observing Mu Ran’s facial expressions, finding her as indifferent as ever, leading to a bit of disappointment. Originally they wanted to see Director Mu cry, that would definitely secure a hot search, but then again, not crying seemed to be Director Mu’s true nature.

They continued to play the next message.

Sister Lin Yuxian’s words immediately made Lin Wen Yu a target of public criticism!

Lin Wen Yu hurriedly explained, “No, we’re all young people, who actually likes going home? Coming back means going to bed early, waking up early, totally messing up my schedule. Besides, my family is from Guangdong, we don’t eat spicy food, whether I eat more or less at home, I get nagged. Also, my grandparents really enjoy making me perform. I’m not blind, I know my sister’s adorable, there’s no way I’d dislike her, alright?!”

Netizens thought he sort of made sense.

But the sister didn’t believe it.

Every time brother came home, he never wanted to pay attention to her.

He never wished her a happy birthday or gave her gifts on her birthdays.

The brother simply wasn’t fond of her, but since they were recording, even he could not say anything. Lin Yuxian played with her fingers, saying nothing more.

When it was Zhu Wenzhen’s turn.

He suddenly dropped a bombshell.

“I hope mom and dad stop fighting.”

[Oh wow.]

[Wow indeed.]

[Zhu Zhuting is done for~]

…

Zhu Zhuting and her husband always portrayed themselves as childhood sweethearts who climbed out of the countryside together, connecting with audiences due to being down-to-earth and loving, which won them many fans.

But today, Zhu Wenzhen said he wished his parents would stop fighting.

When Zhu Zhuting saw the video, she almost passed out, struggling to keep her expression stable and unable to control her changing face, she managed a smile and said, “It’s our issue, we often quarrel over work, and the child overheard.”

The explanation was as flimsy as her complexion.

Zhu Wenzhen, realizing it too late, felt he might have made a mistake, but he really thought that was his wish.

He thought the show would make his parents stop fighting.

At home, he wished they wouldn’t be smashing and throwing things around; he just hoped they would love each other on the show, stop fighting, and be sweetly affectionate.

But now, he felt like he’d done something wrong…

Xiong Guobing stepped in to mediate, “Fighting, well, which couple doesn’t do it, it’s perfectly normal, no need to worry, if you really didn’t fight at all, then you’d be like a fake couple.”

He laughed heartily.

Unknowingly, Zhu Zhuting’s face turned even paler, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

Xiong Guobing waved it off, signaling the crew to move on to the next segment.

[Haha, can’t earn money anymore.]

[Feels like Pig Hero got spooked.]

[The kid probably didn’t realize, but this actually showcases the show’s authenticity, although Xiong Guobing, besides his own child, treats everyone fairly well!]

…

When it was Xiong Zunxiang’s turn.

He cried out about being hungry, and later, it was Chu Xijin who fed him; he had nothing to say to Xiong Guobing.

Xiong Guobing’s face suddenly turned as dark as charcoal.

The crew asked Xiong Zunxiang three times if he had anything to say to his dad, and he shook his head each time!!!

The day’s activities came to an end.

#ZhuZhuting couple’s relationship breakdown# overtook the trending topic of Mu Ran’s embarrassment to top the charts.

The couple amassed quite a following on short videos, with online fame rivaling that of traditional celebrities. Moreover, with Zhu Zhuting breaking into showbiz, her popularity surged even more, but she entered too quickly, only to stumble into a big pitfall.

The child mentioned constant fighting.

The couple often displayed affection in livestreams!~

The trending topic lasted less than half an hour before it was taken down.
