Chapter 1461: Down-to-earth and Honest
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Our production team definitely did not reveal any of the filming schedules to any of the hosts—not even to the investors, and definitely not to Young Master Ling,” Chi Xingrui hurriedly explained, afraid that the other MCs would think that the production team gave special treatment.
He grumbled to himself too. Why was Han Zhuoling so diligent that he woke so early?
Or did he predict that the production team would surprise the hosts in the morning?
“Alright, alright, they’re just joking.” Liu Chuanhui laughed and said softly, “You all know that Young Master Ling’s a famous workaholic. He’s probably used to waking up early. This has nothing to do with the production team.”
As they were about to reach the lift, Liu Chuanhui reminded the other two to stop talking lest Han Zhuoling heard them.
Though they meant no harm by their discussion, it still wasn’t good.
The whole group required a few trips down the lift.
The first trip was naturally given to the MCs.
They were not filming at present and there was no need for the cameras to follow the hosts.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was drinking her soya bean milk, three soup dumplings still left in her lunch box.
She was full already but found it rude to have leftovers.
Just then, she spotted Han Zhuoling coming, so s.h.i.+ Xiaoya quickly said to Guo Yujie, “Are you done? If you’re done, we better get prepared. Don’t let the hosts wait for us when they’re done.”
Guo Yujie was full too, but she had finished her meal. Drinking one more mouthful of her soya milk, she nodded. “Done.”
Feeling gloomy, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya looked at the three soup dumplings before taking one and stuffing the entire thing into her mouth.
Han Zhuoling watched s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s puffed out cheeks, just like a hamster gathering seeds.
Compared to Yuan Yina at the side, who was eating a pinch for every mouthful daintily and was full of pretense, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s way of eating could be said to be very down-to-earth and honest.
She was chewing when she felt something was wrong.
She could feel a gaze on her even with her bent head.
Turning around instinctively, s.h.i.+ Xiaoya directly faced Han Zhuoling, her puffed up cheeks beyond obvious.
And met Han Zhuoling’s gaze straight on.
She saw Han Zhuoling’s lips quirking, just a twitch, with his eyebrow raising for a moment.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya: “…”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya choked all of a sudden, coughing and spluttering.
What was wrong with Han Zhuoling? How long had he been looking at her with that aloof face?
Although she’s not someone to put on an act when eating in front of someone else, she did not wish for the way she was devouring food to be seen either!
Not to mention choking!
How embarra.s.sing!
She had no idea why, but every time she saw Han Zhuoling, it was during her embarra.s.sing times. Why was it not during her normal times?
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya closed her eyes, wis.h.i.+ng she could choke to death right then and there.
Dear G.o.ds, please let her faint now.
She did not dare imagine what impression she had left in Han Zhuoling’s mind.
She felt that she was truly an idiot—what more Han Zhuoling?
Guo Yujie hurriedly patted her back while giving s.h.i.+ Xiaoya her remaining soya bean milk. “Quick, drink some.”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya gulp down a few mouthfuls of the soya milk to finally dislodge the soup dumpling stuck in her throat.
By now, her whole face was flushed red.
Both because she’d coughed too hard and because she was mortified.
Since she had Guo Yujie with her, Qin Zigou did not come over to pat her back.
They were not a couple and could never be a couple, so he couldn’t let others misunderstand or it would be bad for s.h.i.+ Xiaoya.
Qin Zigou understood this well.
Seeing that s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was fine, Qin Zigou then walked leisurely over with his breakfast.
