On one hand, she was still regretting that she shouldn't have tried to eavesdrop on their conversation to come up with countermeasures. On the other hand, she had to admit the current situation of being caught red - handed.
After Zhao Youting had someone search out the bug and throw it in front of Song Qianqian, she had no choice but to admit it. As a result, Song Qianqian was punished to be confined in the main residence of the Zhao family for a week as a lesson.
Zhao Youting returned to the company the next day. However, instead of continuing the filming of Let's Go on a Date, he really went back to work. He had indeed left some work unfinished during the previous period. He could be considered as having skipped work.
Now that his grandma had mentioned it, he naturally had to go back and work hard.
"Come on! Mr. Zhao, the young master of the Zhao family, the little ancestor!"
When Li Shanen heard Zhao Youting, who had just returned to the company, say that he wanted him to replace him for the recording of this episode of Let's Go on a Date, he almost screamed.
Well, actually, he did scream.
"Why? Do you want to mess with me and deliberately come up with such an excuse?!" Li Shanen sat across from Zhao Youting, with an exaggerated expression as he hugged his head and stared at the ceiling, wailing.
"For no reason. I need to work hard, but I can't let others take advantage of the situation over there. You make me feel more at ease. That's all."
His tone was still cold, showing no sign of a problem.
"Ha? Think it through. It's okay for you to use me as a tool to arrange the show, but this is a dating show. Are you going to let me pick up girls for you?"
Zhao Youting looked a bit displeased and frowned his handsome eyebrows.
"You just keep an eye on things for me. I didn't say you could do anything to her."
"Yes, yes, yes. Okay, okay, okay. Young master, I'll do whatever you say." Li Shanen deliberately dragged out the words, and then murmured in a low voice, "You'll definitely find a reason to mess with me in the end."
"What did you say?"
Zhao Youting's icy voice came over. Li Shanen quickly replied, "Nothing, nothing. I'll go and do it right away, okay?"
"Humph, that's more like it."
After Zhao Youting finished speaking, he lowered his head again to deal with the piled - up documents.
"Come on, Mr. Zhao. Keep working hard under the old lady's guidance. I'll go and do my job. Hehe~" Li Shanen lifted his long leg and got up from the chair. After he went out, his voice still echoed in the corridor.
"Close the door."
There was no response to the young master Zhao's order, so after a moment, he had to get up and close the door himself.
Back to the present, the show's recording had been going on for some time.
The task this time was still very ordinary. It was just for the two of them to have dinner together.
"I usually eat with the two little ones and that bitch Tu Qinqin. It's so quiet now." Qin Qiao'er murmured in a low voice.
"Huh? What did you say, Miss Qin?" Li Shanen was quite sensitive and immediately asked politely.
"Uh, nothing. I'm just not used to having dinner alone with someone like this for a long time." Qin Qiao'er was really bad at dealing with such a person who was overly familiar and had a look of "I'm going to flirt with you". She waved her hand nervously.
"Oh, I see. I thought I did something wrong and made Miss Qin unhappy." As he said, Li Shanen smoothly handed the decanted red wine to Qin Qiao'er. His movements were elegant and proper.
Yes, the two of them, or rather Li Shanen, had chosen a high - class Western restaurant for dinner. Originally, he had planned to reserve the whole restaurant just like Zhao Youting, but he finally gave up after Qin Qiao'er and the program crew's repeated objections.
"How could that be? Mr. Li is just joking. After getting along with Mr. Li like this, I kind of understand why your fans are so crazy."
However, although the restaurant wasn't reserved, there weren't many of Li Shanen's crazy fans in the restaurant.
After all, this place wasn't affordable for ordinary people. If Li Shanen hadn't emphasized in advance that he would treat and kept inviting Qin Qiao'er without giving her a chance to refuse, according to her usual practice, Qin Qiao'er wouldn't have come here.
"Ha, Miss Qin is really good at talking. You're making me blush." Li Shanen laughed after he finished speaking, looking quite happy.
Qin Qiao'er awkwardly laughed a few times. She really wasn't used to such polite talk and wanted to find some other topics to avoid the current atmosphere.
"By the way, why didn't Miss Qin's two kids come today?" Li Shanen was smart after all. He took the initiative to bring up a topic.
"Chenchen and Wanwan had work today. After they finished, they went home to rest first. After all, they're just kids. We can't let them focus on making money."
Seeing that the topic about the two kids seemed to be a turning point, Li Shanen took the opportunity to continue, "But they are really cute kids. They're so lovable. It's hard not to like them."
"Hahaha, indeed. Watching the two little dumplings bouncing around at home every day really makes me happy. They're just a source of motivation."
When it came to the two kids, Qin Qiao'er felt less awkward, and her eyes became gentle.
The two of them started chatting. Qin Qiao'er's smile gradually increased. She seemed much more natural than before and really began to "enjoy" this "date" as she had hoped.
At this moment, against the backdrop of the candlelight and roses, although she was only wearing a simple plain dress, she looked extremely charming and gentle. And the camera happened to capture her from this angle.
So there was a hot search the day after the second episode of the show was aired.
"What the hell is this! 'The goddess mother of two cute kids. I want a mother as gentle as this...' Tu Qinqin, come here. Did you do this?!"
On a rare weekend, Tu Qinqin had cleared her schedule. Chenchen, Wanwan and Qin Qiao'er also had no plans. Tu Qinqin, who was making breakfast, suddenly heard Qin Qiao'er's voice coming from the bedroom. She was so startled that her hand trembled.
"What are you shouting for! You almost made me drop the fried egg!"
The two little dumplings sitting at the dining table were also startled, but they quickly calmed down.
Chenchen, whose little short legs couldn't reach the ground when sitting on the stool, kicked his legs and jumped to the ground. He took the lead and walked towards Qin Qiao'er's room. "Mommy—what's going on? It's so noisy!"
Hearing Chenchen's voice, thinking that she couldn't make a fool of herself in front of the kids, Qin Qiao'er forced herself to calm down. Then she jumped out of bed, put on her slippers and walked towards the living room.
She held her phone in front of Tu Qinqin. Tu Qinqin didn't stop what she was doing. She put the fried egg on a plate.
She glanced at the phone screen. "Well—this time it really wasn't me—"
She wiped her hands and clicked on the hot search.
"Let me see. Oh, isn't this our beautiful Miss Qin Qiao'er? Great. You can make it onto the hot search by yourself!"
Qin Qiao'er flicked Tu Qinqin on the forehead to interrupt her.
"Really not you?"
"Really not. It's really because of your beauty."
"Then why..."
"Huh? Why what?"
"Why are their comments and discussion topics a bit off?"
