Chapter 9: Do you regret meeting each other


Early the next morning, the program director Liang Qi arrived at Lu Yiwei’s house with a group of people.

At this moment, Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei were having an argument.

To say they were arguing might not be entirely accurate, as it was Mu Zhengqing who was angry. Lu Yiwei was stubbornly holding onto Mu Zhengqing’s arm and wouldn’t let go.

The two were enacting a scene of “I want to leave” and “I won’t let you leave.”

Hearing the sound at the door, both were startled.

Lu Yiwei’s surprise was one of joy; the program crew had finally arrived.

Mu Zhengqing’s surprise was one of shock; the program crew had actually arrived.

“Can you let go now?” Mu Zhengqing said with a dark expression.

He just found out that netizens didn’t believe the official announcement from the program team, so he still had a chance to back out.

As for whether the program would be cancelled, it wasn’t a big deal for Lu Yiwei. He believed many people would be willing to act as his divorce partner.

Who knew that when he finished packing his things and came out of the bedroom, he would be caught red-handed by Lu Yiwei.

Who would have thought that Lu Yiwei would be waiting in the living room, with the purpose of preventing him from escaping.

He didn’t know what kind of bewitching potion the program team of “Stop Moving Forward” had given him, making him insist on dragging him to participate in the program.

“Oh.” Lu Yiwei reluctantly let go.

However, he only let go of Mu Zhengqing’s arm, while his other hand holding the suitcase still did not let go.

Seeing that Lu Yiwei was still looking at him with a guarded expression, Mu Zhengqing was so angry that his face turned dark.

“What, are you planning to take the suitcase to open the door?” Mu Zhengqing said angrily.

Who knew that when Lu Yiwei heard this, he actually asked expectantly, “Can I?”

In the end, Lu Yiwei, as he wished, took the suitcase to open the door for the program team.

“What is this?”

Director Liang Qi saw the suitcase in Lu Yiwei’s hand and, under everyone’s gaze, used his body, which was enough to block the door, to block the only way out for Lu Yiwei.

Seeing Liang Qi’s actions, Lu Yiwei was completely relieved.

Now that everyone was here, Mu Zhengqing knew that he had no choice but to participate in this variety show.

From the moment they entered, Liang Qi’s gaze had been fixed on Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei.

He was someone who had seen a lot, but the relationship between Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei still shocked him.

Although he had mentally prepared himself, he couldn’t help but look at them when he saw them sitting together.

First glance, pleasing to the eye.

Second glance, no wonder they are the top stars in the entertainment industry.

Third glance, they didn’t look as mismatched as netizens said.

Fourth glance, no wonder they divorced, they didn’t seem to get along.

“Can we start?” Lu Yiwei asked, noticing Mu Zhengqing’s expression becoming more stiff. 

“Yes, yes, everyone get ready, 3…2…” Liang Qi said with a smile.

Ever since he found out that Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei were going to participate in the variety show, the smile on his face never disappeared.

Logically, as the director, he should be in the control room overseeing everything, but who could blame him when it was Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei?

Before this, he never dared to dream that the two would participate in his show together. Who knew that a pie would really fall from the sky and hit him on the head?

Not to mention just changing the program’s name, he would even change his own name if needed.

Just thinking about netizens seeing Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei really appearing in the live broadcast, he couldn’t contain his excitement.

He was about to experience the highlight of his life.

However, his highlight moment was interrupted before it even started.

Because Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei were sitting too far apart, the camera could only capture one of them.

“Um, could you two sit a bit closer?” Liang Qi said to them.

Lu Yiwei moved closer to Mu Zhengqing, but Mu Zhengqing remained seated without moving.

Seeing that Mu Zhengqing had no intention of moving, Lu Yiwei was about to move even closer, but Mu Zhengqing gave him a glare.

Seeing both of them looking at him, Liang Qi () didn’t dare to continue asking.

“Let’s leave it at that,” he thought. After all, this is a divorce variety show, not a love variety show. At worst, the camera can shoot at an angle.

“May I ask why you two got divorced?”

Lu Yiwei: “We haven’t…”

Mu Zhengqing: “We were often apart.”

Mu Zhengqing interrupted Lu Yiwei, knowing what he was about to say. But it wasn’t necessary. After all, they would divorce after the variety show ended.

Saying they hadn’t divorced yet would only cause more trouble.

“If you two resolved the issue of being apart often, would you consider remarrying?”

Mu Zhengqing: “No consideration.”

Lu Yiwei: “Would consider.”

“How did you feel when you saw each other again after the divorce?”

Mu Zhengqing: “No feeling.”

Lu Yiwei: “The same as the first time we met.”

Mu Zhengqing looked at Lu Yiwei. ‘Just like the first time they met…’ Their first meeting was not a good memory.

At that time, he was attending a drinking party, and the investor was trying to grope him while continuously forcing him to drink. He excused himself and hid in the bathroom.

Who knew that as soon as he got to the bathroom, the investor followed him and tried to drag him into a stall.

He had just knocked the investor down, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Yiwei standing at the bathroom door. Then he vomited all over Lu Yiwei.

“Do you two remember how you felt when you first saw each other?”

Mu Zhengqing: “Red eyes.”

Lu Yiwei: “Red face.”

Mu Zhengqing looked at Lu Yiwei again.

His eyes were red because he gets red eyes but not a red face when he drinks. Was Lu Yiwei’s face red at that time? Could it be because he was angry from being vomited on?

“One last question, do you regret meeting each other?”

Mu Zhengqing: “No regrets.”

Lu Yiwei: “No regrets.”

After answering this question, the two of them exchanged a glance. Although Mu Zhengqing now wants a divorce, he has never regretted marrying Lu Yiwei.

He is grateful to Lu Yiwei for marrying him at that time, which is also why he quickly forgives Lu Yiwei even after being angered multiple times.

After the interview ended, Mu Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the questions asked by the program team were very simple; otherwise, he would have had to think carefully about how to answer them.

After all, he and Lu Yiwei have only met a few times, and he might have given himself away.

He originally thought that after the interview, today’s tasks would be over, and he just needed to appear in front of the camera.

Who knew that before the program team left, they assigned them a task.

Moreover, it’s not just today; they have tasks to complete every day.

Today’s task is to revisit their first meeting at home.

Revisit, how to revisit? Is it to revisit him hitting someone, or to revisit him vomiting all over Lu Yiwei?

“You go pack your things first, I’ll cook.”

Lu Yiwei said as he brought the suitcase in front of Mu Zhengqing.

After being busy all morning, Mu Zhengqing was also hungry.

He didn’t refuse Lu Yiwei’s arrangement, but just for this meal, after that, he would cook for himself.

Living under the same roof, he felt embarrassed to always let Lu Yiwei cook.

However, he also knew his own cooking skills were just barely edible, far from Lu Yiwei’s level.

Lu Yiwei probably doesn’t want to eat the food he cooks either, so from now on, they should each eat their own meals.

This also aligns more with the mode of interaction for a divorced couple.

While eating, Mu Zhengqing shared his thoughts with Lu Yiwei.

“You don’t like my cooking?” Lu Yiwei asked, puzzled.

Mu Zhengqing really couldn’t say he didn’t like it, so he could only say firmly, “I’m informing you, not discussing with you.”

After saying that, he got goosebumps himself; this kind of domineering CEO talk really didn’t suit him.

“Got it,” Lu Yiwei said reluctantly.

After eating, Mu Zhengqing sat on the sofa playing with his phone, while Lu Yiwei sat beside him with a laptop.

This time, Mu Zhengqing didn’t hesitate and directly started browsing Weibo.

Uh… so they are discussing whether he likes Lu Yiwei more, or Lu Yiwei likes him more.

Yesterday they were saying they were the least likely couple, and today they are arguing about this. Is this really okay?

After watching for a while, Mu Zhengqing couldn’t stand it anymore.

What? He was looking at Lu Yiwei out of curiosity, how did it become a loving gaze?

And Lu Yiwei’s response was clearly very normal, how did it become a declaration of love in their mouths?

Of course, besides these, there were also a lot of curses online.

But they weren’t cursing him and Lu Yiwei, they were cursing the paparazzi.

They couldn’t even capture gossip, and when the evidence was put in front of them, they didn’t recognize it. What’s the use of them?

What Mu Zhengqing didn’t know was that Lu Yiwei, sitting not far from him, was also looking at Weibo.

“You guys are really useless, exposing still has to rely on myself,” Lu Yiwei commented with a small account.
