Li Feng's face suddenly changed. Out of guilt, he abruptly raised his voice. "What do you mean by that!"
"I have no grudge against you. Do you think I'd do such a despicable thing to you! With so many people here, saying such things is slandering me!"
As he spoke, he was extremely agitated, his chest rising and falling rapidly. His reaction was rather over - the - top.
Mu Junze's eyes turned gloomy. He drawled out an "oh".
Hearing his words, Li Feng looked even more flustered. A thin layer of cold sweat clearly appeared on his forehead and trickled down his temples.
"I'm also quite curious why Mr. Li, instead of resting in his room, came to our room door."
"I... I was just taking a casual walk!"
Suddenly.
Mu Junze's tone turned cold. "There's a huge garden, but you're not interested in walking there. Instead, you're quite curious about our room?"
"I... I..." Li Feng stopped mid - sentence. His eyes darted around, and his mind raced to find a proper excuse.
At this moment, Kan Yuqing timely spoke up for her husband. "He said it was too stuffy in the room. I thought he could come and have a chat with Mr. Mu."
"Yes, that's right. That's exactly it!" Li Feng immediately followed her lead.
Mu Junze's cold eyes fixed directly on Li Feng's face.
Feeling terrified under his gaze, Li Feng couldn't help but lean behind Kan Yuqing.
With Kan Yuqing covering for him with a lie, Li Feng straightened his chest and gained some confidence. "I originally just wanted to come and have a chat with Mr. Mu. But I didn't expect that just as I got upstairs, Mr. Mu and Miss Meng were about to go out. I was afraid you two had something important to do, so I didn't say anything.
"I left right after you two left. I didn't stay upstairs for even a moment!" He roughly poked Kan Yuqing's back. "Right?"
Kan Yuqing forced a smile. "Yes, that's right. He came back soon after he went out."
After saying that, she met Meng Nianchu's gaze and said gently, "Miss Meng, I know Li Feng well. Li Feng has never had any interaction or grudge with you. Why would he do such a thing to you for no reason?
"There must be some misunderstanding in this matter."
Hearing her considerate explanation, Meng Nianchu sneered. She slowly looked at Li Feng, who was trembling behind her, and said word by word, "Maybe it was some woman behind him who told him to do it."
As soon as she said this, everyone in the room was stunned.
Mu Junze lowered his eyes. Seeing Meng Nianchu's determined face, showing no sign of joking, he frowned slightly.
A woman?
He didn't quite understand what Meng Nianchu meant for the moment, but after hearing her words, Li Feng's legs kept trembling, and his face turned deathly pale. This big and burly man stared at the petite woman in front of him with wide - open, panicked eyes.
"You're talking nonsense!"
It took him a while to shout hysterically.
Seeing that the atmosphere was turning bad, Hou Chao quickly tried to smooth things over. "There might be some misunderstanding. Everyone, please go out first and go back to your rooms to rest."
Li Feng glared at Meng Nianchu and slammed the door as he left.
Kan Yuqing apologized a couple of times and then left the room. The other couple also left quickly, afraid of getting involved in other people's troubles. They just told Meng Nianchu to rest well and didn't stay.
Meng Nianchu looked at Hou Chao. "Director Hou, you can go back to your room first."
"Since this happened during my variety show, I'll definitely find out what's going on!"
"Thank you."
Hou Chao walked to the door thoughtfully. Suddenly, he turned back. "Your fans are very worried about you after seeing the live - broadcast content. The official Weibo account of the variety show has been flooded with messages. Please post a Weibo saying that you've returned from the hospital to reassure your fans."
Meng Nianchu smiled and replied, "Okay, I know."
The room door slammed shut.
The smile on Meng Nianchu's face disappeared instantly. She sat on the edge of the bed. Opening her phone, she saw the news of "Meng Nianchu Disfigured" on the top of the hot search list. She lowered her eyes and sneered in her heart.
Remembering what Hou Chao said, she looked up at Mu Junze, blinking her big, watery eyes. "Let's take a photo together!"
How could he refuse?
Mu Junze sat down beside Meng Nianchu with a cold face.
"Smile a little."
Meng Nianchu made a funny face. Mu Junze turned his head to look at her. Uncontrollably, his thin lips suddenly kissed Meng Nianchu's cheek.
The sudden touch made Meng Nianchu's hand tremble. Accidentally, she pressed the shutter button.
The photo was automatically posted on Weibo.
"My face is still inflamed. Stay away from me so you don't get infected."
Meng Nianchu covered her face and quickly retreated to the edge of the bed.
Mu Junze put his arm around her. "What are you afraid of?"
They got closer and closer. Meng Nianchu's cheeks gradually turned red. Looking at Mu Junze, whose eyes were full of desire, she nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
...
While they were having a sweet moment here, it was chaos and near - collapse on the other side.
After Kan Yuqing and Li Feng returned to their room, she just asked him why he had gone to Mu Junze's room door. Who would have thought that this simple question would make Li Feng slap her in the face and say a lot of filthy and offensive words.
She lay on the bed sobbing. Li Feng, hiding in the toilet, anxiously called Meng Rong for help.
At this moment, Meng Rong was looking at the photo Meng Nianchu had posted on the Internet. Seeing the two people in the photo looking so intimate, she flew into a rage!
Meng Nianchu, it's all your fault!
The phone that had fallen to one side buzzed. Glancing at the caller ID, she angrily answered it. Then, a thought suddenly popped into her mind. A cold look appeared in her eyes. She quickly grabbed the phone and pressed the answer button.
Listening to Li Feng's anxious words on the other end of the phone, the corner of her lips curled up.
The warm room seemed extremely cold.
This time, I'll definitely make you never be able to hold your head up again!
Probably because Li Feng was afraid, he was more restrained. After the scene in Meng Nianchu's room where he flatly denied everything, he didn't take any further actions. Even when he saw Meng Nianchu and Mu Junze, he would keep his distance, unless it was absolutely necessary for them to stand together.
Time flew by quickly. Four days passed in the blink of an eye. It seemed like they had just arrived in Singapore one day ago, and now it was all over.
Meng Nianchu and Mu Junze had won the love of many passers - by fans with their affectionate daily interactions. Mu Junze was very satisfied seeing all the blessing comments under the photos of him and Meng Nianchu.
On the last day of the variety - show shooting, Hou Chao suggested that everyone cook two dishes for lunch as the ending of the program. Meng Nianchu and the others were extremely busy. Finally, they managed to finish cooking the meals in time for lunch.
Even though Meng Nianchu's cooking skills had been shown in "Star 100%", the netizens watching the live broadcast were still shocked when they saw the luxurious seafood she served.
