Liao Chengming received it reverently, holding it in his palm and praising it repeatedly, "A small amulet has such power, you are so thoughtful."

Liao Yunqing touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "Dad, Miss Cheng drew all the talismans. I just brought them back to try them out. I didn't expect them to be so miraculous."

Liao Chengming was extremely surprised, his eyes widening in disbelief. "You mean Jingke's girlfriend?"

Liao Yunqing scratched his head, his expression mirroring hers, "How did you know?"

Liao Chengming found his phone, opened Weibo, and a headline immediately caught his eye: "The Liao family's daughter's remarks have been confirmed."

Liao Yunqing hurriedly clicked on it, only to find that Ye Jingke had posted a comment under Song Yifei's trending topic: "[Sorry, in this life I will only ever be Ai Ai's shoe-shiner.]"

He rubbed his temples, his eyes filled with regret. "I didn't keep an eye on my sister, and she caused trouble for Jing Ketian."

Liao Chengming patted his son's shoulder, sat down on the edge of the bed, and looked at his sleeping wife's face with tenderness and affection. "Yunyan is spoiled and willful, and I can't do anything about her."

He paused for a moment, then ordered, "Find some time to invite Jingke and Miss Cheng over for dinner, firstly to apologize, and secondly to help Xiaohui recover."

"Yes, Father." Liao Yunqing nodded respectfully.

Although Liao Chengming rarely speaks, once he does, no one dares to disobey him.

The car was already parked on the side of the road. Cheng Ai hurriedly got in after recording "Straight to the Point," rolled her eyes, and complained, "Let me tell you, Liao Yunqing is sick, and Liao Yunyan is even more sick. It's a good thing they didn't come to the scene, otherwise I would have given them both a big slap!"

She crossed her arms, clearly furious. "You, a renowned actor, can't make friends with just any two idiots. I'm speechless."

Ye Jingke lowered his head and gently pecked her lips, coaxing her softly, "If you don't like it, I'll just avoid seeing you in the future. There's a nice hot pot restaurant nearby, I'll take you there, okay?"

"Hmm." Cheng Ai slumped listlessly in his arms and sighed, "Let's go, I happen to be hungry."

During the meal, Ye Jingke's phone kept vibrating, either with WeChat messages, phone calls, or emails, making a lot of noise.

"Are you very busy?" Cheng Ai couldn't help but ask with concern.

Ye Jingke looked up at her and smiled, then lowered her eyes and continued typing, "It's alright, Yunqing invited us to his house for dinner, but I declined."

Cheng Ai was taken aback, then blinked sheepishly, "I was just saying that in anger. You don't need to distance yourself from Liao Yunqing because of me."

Ye Jingke raised an eyebrow, his smile captivating everyone. "His mother is in poor health. I mailed her a few amulets a couple of days ago, and they seem to have worked."

Fearing misunderstanding, he added, "Uncle Liao and Aunt Zhang treat me like their own son. Now that I can draw talismans, I naturally want to help them out. However, I wrote your name on the delivery slip."

Cheng Ai's expression darkened slightly as she picked up a piece of freshly cooked beef and dipped it in sauce. "So, Liao Yunqing has decided to have me use mystical arts to cure his mother's illness?"

"He also wants to apologize for Yunyan's offense towards you," Ye Jingke added.

"Ha!" Cheng Ai scoffed, stuffing the beef into his mouth, chewing it carefully, and swallowing it. "Your sister caused trouble, and your brother stepped in. How sincere!"

Suddenly, two vibrations sounded. She put down her chopsticks and picked up her phone, but Ye Jingke snatched it away swiftly. "It must be that man who wanted to buy the talisman adding you. Focus on your food, I'll handle it for you."

Since responding to the shoe-lifting incident, netizens have been furiously criticizing Cheng Ai. Although Shengding International's public relations department tried its best to suppress the criticism, it could not completely silence the gossip.

Now, all he can do is try to delay the inevitable and make Cheng Ai face public opinion later.

The reason for this indirect official announcement was truly out of necessity.

Liao Yunyan has complicated the relationship between the three people, and if ignored, it will inevitably arouse public speculation.

Cheng Ai's family background and reputation were slightly inferior, so she was naturally the one who suffered a loss.

He didn't want her to suffer, so he had to sacrifice some of his fans and work hard to cultivate a fanbase for the couple, striving to minimize the losses and negative impacts.

Ye Jingke accepted the friend request and received the photo from the other party. He zoomed in and showed it to Cheng Ai, "Ai Ai, are two talismans enough?"

Cheng Ai glanced at it, then quickly turned her head away. "Four bills, twenty thousand yuan each."

Ye Jingke lowered his head to reply to messages, asked for the address, tidied up a clean place to draw a face-restoring talisman, called the courier to pick up the package, and instructed Bai Jing to find a new assistant before finally focusing his attention on the food.

The next second, he smiled indulgently.

There were four plates in front of him, filled with shrimp, various kinds of meat, various kinds of vegetables, and various kinds of meatballs.

Meanwhile, Cheng Ai, sitting opposite, was intently breaking apart the crab legs. There was a small amount of crab meat on the plate next to her, which was obviously freshly peeled.

Ye Jingke walked over, took her wrist, and chuckled, "You like crab?"

Cheng Ai was stunned for a moment, then shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, I'm full. This was for you."

Ye Jingke had actually guessed the answer long ago, but hearing it with his own ears still moved him deeply.

He released her wrist, took out his phone, opened a document and placed it on the desktop. With his other hand, he pinched her chin, leaned down and gently kissed her lips, his voice seductive, "Familiarize yourself with the guest information for the third segment. Our tickets are at 2 PM this afternoon, and we'll arrive in Icefield City at 8 PM on Sunday. Don't worry about the luggage and talismans; I've already taken care of everything while you were recording the show and sent someone to check them in at the airport."

Cheng Ai blushed and her heart raced as she was teased, and she unconsciously did as she was told.

Ye Jingke sat down again, happily picked up a slice of meat, dipped it in sauce, and put it in his mouth, his brows furrowed.

The beef was overcooked and became tough to chew. I also ate a shrimp, which tasted good, but the shrimp vein and shell weren't completely removed.

He ate it all without hesitation; it was truly remarkable that Cheng Ai could manage to do that.

Everything went smoothly. The two paid the bill, left the hot pot restaurant, and headed straight to the airport to check in and board their plane.

During the flight, they either slept or discussed spell arrays to deal with the ghosts.

Since the glacier belongs to Ye Jingke, he is the main attacker, and Cheng Ai is the support.

The moment the cabin door opened, a biting, icy wind rushed in. Luckily, Bai Jing had rented the car in advance, or he would have frozen to death.

The variety show cannot be postponed, and Cheng Ai cannot use her mystical arts, which means a large number of talismans are needed.

Ye Jingke prepared about a thousand talismans, but that was far from enough, so as soon as he arrived at the hotel, he immediately devoted himself to the task of drawing talismans.

Cheng Ai took a relaxing hot bath and then called the waiter to deliver a late-night snack.

After they finished eating, Ye Jingke went into the bathroom, while she sat on the sofa cutting yellow paper to help relieve the pressure.

Throughout the night, my suitcase and bedside table were filled with talismans. After confirming that everything was in order and attaching the space talismans, I wrapped myself tightly in my coat and headed to the film crew's meeting place.

As the clock struck ten, the official account of the Potato Platform's "Dare to Come" livestream started on time.
