Now that things have come to this, it would seem unkind to continue to refuse.

But does Lin Qiujun really have such thoughts?

I'm afraid she herself doesn't believe the nonsense she said.

Everyone at the table knew exactly what she was thinking.

Huo Yan's eyes were cold and he was about to refuse immediately.

Before he could finish his words, Ruan Xingchen had already grasped his hand.

"Since Ms. Lin insists, it's not impossible."

The smile on her lips carried a slight chill as she said calmly, "It's just a little time. Mr. Huo and I can still afford it."

He wants to step on her to get to the top without even considering what he is capable of.

She also wanted to see what kind of trouble Lin Qiujun could cause.

"It's great that you agreed."

Lin Qiujun returned a faint smile, looking at her with a look of relief, and said, "I hope we can get along well on the show. I also hope to get to know you better through the show."

Beneath her smile, there was a hint of gloom in her eyes.

How could she not hear that Ruan Xingchen's words were full of hidden meaning?

It was obvious that apart from this little time, she wouldn't be given any more even if she wanted it.

Ridiculous, Huo Yan is her son, he should give her whatever she wants with both hands.

When did this woman get a chance to speak?

Now that an agreement had been reached on the matter, peace returned to the table.

After dinner, Huo Yan took Ruan Xingchen back to the living room and sat down first. His brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of helplessness in his dark eyes.

His voice was full of indulgence. He rubbed the top of her head and said gently, "Why should Madam agree when you know she has bad intentions? Madam, just keep silent and let me handle the matter."

Ruan Xingchen's identity is daughter-in-law after all.

In the Chinese environment, she was naturally at a disadvantage against Lin Qiujun.

As a son, Huo Yan actually has fewer concerns, and more importantly, he doesn't care what people say about him on the Internet.

He is not a traffic star and does not rely on these to make a living.

"She can't do anything to me."

A smile appeared on Ruan Xingchen's lips.

Even though the man disagreed, he still respected her ideas and did not refute her opinions.

If she wanted to, he would accompany her.

Even if she didn't want to, he would stand in front of her, protect her from the wind and rain, and prevent her from being scolded.

Feeling his thoughtfulness and tenderness, her eyes became more gentle, and her heart seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of honey, indescribably sweet.

Ruan Xingchen felt that she was not a person who liked to act like a spoiled child, but when facing men, she always seemed to have become much younger mentally.

I can't help but want to stick with him, want to say some childish words, and want to get his indulgence and love.

Maybe in front of the person you truly love, you will become a child.

She smiled, put her arms around the man's thin waist, and lowered her voice slightly.

She gently kissed the man's cheek and whispered, "I know Mr. Huo wants to protect me, but I can't bear to see him being criticized by others. I want to protect Mr. Huo, too."

Her tone was soft, with a smile, and she spoke it in a casual manner.

It was just a casual remark as if it was a joke, but it was like a huge rock falling from the sky into the deep sea, creating huge waves.

Huo Yan couldn't help but hold her in his arms, hugging her tightly in his arms, his heart full of tenderness.

Is there anything more pleasing than when you are protecting someone and they are also doing their best to protect you?

This kind of two-way feeling made the boiling magma in his heart almost overflow.

He couldn't help but place a passionate and gentle kiss on Ruan Xingchen's forehead. A low laugh of pleasure came from his throat, and he said in a mellow and deep voice, "I really can't do anything about Madam."

With her like this, what other choice does he have except to pamper her?

Feeling the man's surging emotions, Ruan Xingchen couldn't help but chuckle.

With her cheek against his, she said playfully in a sweet voice, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Huo to act with me and accompany Ms. Lin! I hope we won't be scolded by netizens together as a couple."

Reality shows may have certain scripts, but the scripts cannot cover all emergencies.

This is also why many celebrities fail when they appear on reality shows.

Although she didn't think that her and Huo Yan's personalities were annoying, with Lin Qiujun and Jiang Guiwan causing trouble, she would not let herself suffer for the sake of her so-called image and reputation.

Huo Yan pinched her nose helplessly and whispered with a smile: "Naughty."

This was the scene that Lin Qiujun and Jiang Guiwan, who were one step behind, saw when they walked into the living room.

Lin Qiujun's face turned a little grim, and she couldn't help but sneer, "Back in our time, emotions were reserved. When did men and women start hugging and being affectionate in public? Seriously, they have the nerve to bring such a private matter to the public, even wanting to create a baby in front of everyone. I don't know where they picked up this habit."

She raised her chin, showing a bit of superiority, and sneered as she made the final conclusion: "It is immoral."

A cold light flashed in Huo Yan's black eyes, piercing him coldly.

Lin Qiujun's heart trembled slightly, and she managed to maintain a proud expression.

This fear came from instinct, and after calming down, she became even more fearless.

Not to mention that there was a camera filming her, even if there wasn't, with Huo Yan's personality, it would be impossible for her to do something like hitting her biological mother.

She was still relatively stable, but Jiang Guiwan, who was standing next to her, felt a little uncomfortable. His face turned pale and he lowered his head, trying to reduce his presence.

So as to avoid being taken out on others.

Ruan Xingchen chuckled.

"If I hadn't known that Ms. Lin had just returned from pursuing her dream in Hollywood, I would have thought that Ms. Lin had actually traveled through time from the feudal dynasty."

She nonchalantly played with Huo Yan's large hand and said lightly, "What era is this? Why do we still have to pay attention to the separation between men and women? Forget about Mr. Huo and I being in the house. Even if we hugged on the street, what's the problem?"

"Mind your own business, and you'll live longer."

She smiled, raised her eyes, and said calmly, "Besides, I remember that Country M is much more open than we are. Does Ms. Lin point her finger at every couple she sees on the street and scold them?"

Lin Qiujun's face stiffened slightly, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he asked coldly: "What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."

Ruan Xingchen curled her lips and spoke clearly, "I just want to know, is Ms. Lin naturally conservative, like a moral guardian, or does she feel that Chinese people are easier to bully after returning to China?"

Lin Qiujun's face turned ugly in an instant.

People abroad express their emotions more freely and directly, so she certainly wouldn't point fingers at others and tell them what to do.
