Chapter 12 - 012: I find you displeasing.

But to create a good show effect, Jiang He still pretended to be surprised: "Jiang Nuo?! I didn't expect to meet you on this show, what a surprise..."

He stood up, intending to shake hands with Jiang Nuo, "You're a big shot in the entertainment industry, we should shake hands so I can get some of your good luck."

Jiang Nuo, after all, has been in the entertainment industry for many years and didn't get there just because he's handsome or a good actor. His emotional intelligence is also very high.

Even if he disliked Jiang He, he wouldn't directly say it while on the show. However, he truly did not want physical contact with this person.

With one hand pulling luggage and the other around Mu Qiuniang, shaking hands was indeed inconvenient. He used body language to indicate this, smiling, "If you want some good luck, there'll be plenty of opportunities in the future. My wife has been on a long flight all day and she's hungry and tired. Can we let her rest a bit first?"

While saying this, he pushed Mu Qiuniang forward, "Wife, let me introduce you. You might not know him, this is the famous composer Jiang He. He's quite renowned in the entertainment circle. If your husband wants to sing one day, he might need him to write a song."

"Hello!" Mu Qiuniang's face was cold.

"Hello!" Jiang He had previously seen the news of Jiang Nuo announcing his marriage, so this wasn't his first time seeing Jiang Nuo's wife. He thought, with Jiang Nuo's skills, he'd marry someone as beautiful as Ye Lefei. Unexpectedly...

However, he naturally wouldn't say someone else's wife isn't pretty. In front of others, he still praised, "Your wife is really beautiful!"

"Of course!" Jiang Nuo said proudly, feeling quite complacent.

Jiang He was speechless for a moment. Wasn't he just being polite?

Jiang Nuo had already helped Mu Qiuniang to sit and was kindly asking if she was tired. Once they had their room, he'd run her a hot bath to help her relax.

"Hmm!" Mu Qiuniang quietly nodded.

Not to mention Jiang He's wife, even Jiang He himself had tried several times to join the conversation but couldn't interject.

Jiang He thought: Even if it's for show, it doesn't have to be like this, right?

In Jiang He's eyes, Jiang Nuo, as the top figure in the film industry, didn't need to show such devotion to a woman who, by traditional standards, wasn't outstandingly beautiful and was quite unknown.

The only reason for him to do this, if not because the woman was rich and powerful, must be for show.

If she were a rich heiress or the like, it wouldn't have been possible to keep the marriage a secret for so long. So, after considering this from all angles, it must be just for show.

If Jiang Nuo knew what he was thinking, he would definitely spit in his face. Does he think all men are like him, always looking for something extra while having something good at home?

Hmph! Jiang Nuo is just a loving husband, a good man of the New Era who loves his wife, isn't it?

"Um, Master Jiang, I'm a fan of yours. Can you give me an autograph?" Jiang He's wife finally found a chance to speak.

"You are..." Jiang Nuo frowned slightly at being interrupted. This woman, her chin was so pointy it could scratch someone; it must've been shaved.

Jiang Nuo couldn't understand these women in the entertainment circle today. Why do they abandon their natural looks, get eyelid surgery, nose jobs, chin shavings, and end up looking like serpent spirits? What's the point?

His wife is still the prettiest!

He quickly glanced at Mu Qiuniang to cleanse his eyes.

"I'm Tao Xingni, a singer..." Tao Xingni was thrilled to be acknowledged by her idol and quickly introduced herself.

It's Jiang the Great God, after all. If she could get talked about a bit more, she'd be famous.

To make a striking impression on him, Tao Xingni almost claimed that she grew up watching his movies and was utterly worshipful.

Saying so, she sat next to Jiang Nuo, even subtly leaning toward him.

This was something Jiang Nuo hadn't considered. He thought the sofa was wide and comfortable to sit on, not realizing that while hugging his wife on one side, he left an open space on the other, just the opportunity someone would take.

"Aren't you sitting a bit too close?" Jiang Nuo showed no leniency to women trying to step up by stepping on men.

He wore a puzzled expression, seemingly indicating: My wife is right here, do you have to be this obvious?

Tao Xingni froze momentarily: "Uh, sorry, I didn't notice. Master Jiang, I'm just your fan. I'm so excited to finally meet you today..."

Quickly explaining that it was just an unintentional mistake.

Already back to her seat, Jiang He looked displeased. See? This woman suddenly being so proactive with the program was for this reason after all.

If not for the camera, he'd have loved to storm over and slap her. Damn opportunistic woman, stepping on him to rise, wasn't that enough, now also stealing his spotlight?

He gnashed his teeth.

In the past, Jiang Nuo never planned to divorce his ex-wife. She wasn't in the industry and was a truly good wife, managing the household well, allowing him to focus on earning money through songwriting without a care at home.

His parents adored her, and she gave him peace of mind.

Even frequently writing songs as an excuse to flirt with young and beautiful girls, his ex-wife, totally invested in the family, was none the wiser. He lived under the comfort of stability at home and excitement abroad.

Unfortunately, he later stumbled because of this scheming woman, Tao Xingni.

With the camera rolling, Tao Xingni clearly couldn't pull any stunts for now but merely sought to probe Jiang the Great God's wife. After all, this wife seemed to appear from nowhere, as there was no preceding gossip. Who knew if it was all a public relations tactic?

However, it surprised Tao Xingni that Jiang the Great God's wife was so unfazed, unsure if she "couldn't care less" or was genuinely trusting, just sitting there in a daze after settling down.

If not for her occasional responses to Jiang the Great God, it would seem her spirit was elsewhere. Although the two sitting together did look very well-matched.

Ten minutes later, the third celebrity couple arrived. This celebrity couple was somewhat well-known in the entertainment industry, famed for sharing their "kids," "wife," and "husband" moments.

The man's name was Zhao He, and the woman's Liu Yujiao. They both started as actors, though most of what they starred in were youth idol dramas.

Now being parents, they naturally faced a transition period. Until now, they've taken on some new roles, though unfortunately, none have been hits. They urgently needed a breakthrough.

"Oh, you're already here..." Zhao He was naturally friendly, and his eyes lit up upon seeing Jiang Nuo.

My, are they planning to leverage Jiang the Great God's trending potential? He's been dominating the screens for a week.

"Jiang the Great God, oh my god, you're really here? I thought the show was tricking me, saying there would be a mysterious guest that no one would expect..." Zhao He laughed heartily, "Ha ha ha... Isn't it just the great mysterious? Your marriage news just got out, and now you're on the show, that's impressively quick."
