Fake Cannon Fodder A Becomes a Sensation in Romance Variety Shows - Chapter 43.2

Cheng Xiaoming turned to Ke Yuxin. “Sorry, but may I ask why you’re here?”

The producer appeared just in time to introduce her. “This is Ke Yuxin, our fourth omega guest.”

“Starting today, she’ll be joining your lives here. Since Yuxin arrived late, please take good care of her.”

“Also, the fourth alpha guest has already checked into Love Manor and is currently having hot pot with the omega guests!”

A fourth alpha?

Different expressions flickered across their faces.

The alpha guests were all well aware of their own strengths. (Probably.)

My wife will definitely side with me.

Wen Huiyun was worried Ye Zhuoyan might overeat. Even though she’d asked Jiang Yining to keep an eye on her, that might not be reliable.

Definitely not as cultured as me.

Cheng Xiaoming wondered if the hot pot was spicy. With Jiang Yining there, it definitely would be. Better not eat it.

Liang Yuan, sitting closest to Ke Yuxin, began chatting with her warmly.

“You said you just got back from Italy are you still jet-lagged?”

“Mhm, yeah! Sister, you’re so thoughtful. I only mentioned it once, and you’re already so concerned about me. I’m really touched.”

“I’ll make you some calming tea later. It should help.”

Ke Yuxin clasped her hands together, her voice soft and sweet. “Thank you, Sister Liang Yuan.”

Liang Yuan gave her a no-need-to-thank-me look. “Just call me Yuanyuan.”

The bar had prepared a set meal.

Cheng Xiaoming took a bite of the steak, frowned, and set it down, casting a pleading glance at Wen Huiyun.

Wen Huiyun nodded in understanding and smoothly slipped into the kitchen.

It was still daytime, so the bar had no customers, and the kitchen was empty.

Wen Huiyun scanned the fridge and prep counter, grabbing a few ingredients to whip up a simple meal.

Her knife flashed, shredding cabbage with crisp efficiency.

Suddenly, a shadow fell over the cutting board, and something soft brushed against the back of her hand. She dropped the knife with a start.

“It’s you. You scared me.”

“Yun-jie.” Ke Yuxin withdrew her hand from caressing her and suddenly wrapped her arms around her waist from behind. “Baby missed you so much.”

Holy shit.

My soul is about to leave my body.

“Baby”? I’m gonna puke.

Confirmed. This is the original owner’s white moonlight, the most despicable villainess in the entire book.

“Why are you doing all this? I never let you cook before. Did Senior Ye not take good care of you?”

“Get off.” Wen Huiyun pushed her away forcefully.

Ke Yuxin was stunned and pressed closer again. “Yun-jie?”

“I get it. You’re still mad at me, aren’t you?”

“I already texted you to explain. After the auction that day, I told you to wait for me in the room while I went to negotiate the price. But I really didn’t know those people were connected to the Dark Organization.”

“Did you know humans can choose to shut their mouths?”

Ke Yuxin froze.

Tears welled up in her clear, large eyes moments later.

“Yun, I really know I was wrong. I didn’t mean it. I came back specifically to apologize to you, Yunyun. What a pitiful, heart-wrenching first love face.

What a bone-melting, fake sweet voice.

“I don’t know you. Even if we’ve met before.”

Wen Huiyun pointed to her head. “I’m injured here. No memories.”

She picked up the simple meal and walked out, saying, “Also, I have a lover. Her name is Ye Zhuoyan. Please respect that.”

The stainless steel cabinet in the back kitchen was cold.

So was the floor.

Only Ke Yuxin remained. After a few minutes, she stomped her foot hard.

“Tch.”

The group was startled when they returned to Lianlian Apartment.

A fierce dog barked wildly at them the moment the door opened.

“Grrr! Woof woof!”

“Balu, come here!”

The Doberman, with its undocked tail, wagged its slender tail obediently and trotted over to Mi Tao, nuzzling her and licking her hand.

Wen Huiyun asked curiously, “Taozi, you have a dog? Why didn’t you bring it before?”

Dobermans were cool, and Wen Huiyun liked them, but they were hard to train. She’d never interacted with one before.

Mi Tao petted the Doberman and laughed. “I could never train a Doberman. Balu belongs to Rufeng.”

She patted the dog’s rear. “Go on, Balu!”

Rufeng?

The Doberman ran behind the circular couch. Wen Huiyun’s gaze followed and landed on a woman with long blue-gray hair sitting on the carpet, dressed in a dark punk-style T-shirt, cradling a guitar horizontally.

Ye Zhuoyan walked over to Wen Huiyun. “That’s Gu Rufeng, the fourth alpha guest.”

Gu.

Could she be from the Gu family? Did Gu Lin go through all that trouble sponsoring the dating show just to sneak a family member in?

That didn’t make sense. The Gu family was wealthy, why would they need to join a dating show? Did they want to break into the entertainment industry?

The original novel didn’t have any additional guests midway.

The plot was veering further off track.

Wait, there was something important, something related to Ye Zhuoyan’s emotions.

“Zhuoyan, did I know someone really annoying before? A classmate with the surname Ke?”

Wen Huiyun didn’t say the full name.

She knew this villainess had hurt Ye Zhuoyan deeply even more than the original owner. To protect Ye Zhuoyan, she had to be careful.

Sure enough, Ye Zhuoyan’s expression turned cold, a hidden hatred flickering in her eyes.

“Yes.”

Wen Huiyun took her hand and squeezed it tightly, warmth passing through their connected skin.

“I’m here. Zhuoyan, I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

Ye Zhuoyan’s eyes flickered, her lips parting slightly, but before she could speak, lively voices echoed from the entrance.

“Hello everyone, I’m Ke Yuxin, just back from Italy. I brought you some handmade Italian chocolates.”

Jiang Yining: “Belgian chocolates? You went through all the trouble to buy gifts at the Italian airport, thank you!”

Liang Yuan: “?”

Mi Tao: “Weren’t they supposed to be Italian?”

Cheng Xiaoming turned his head to suppress a smirk cameras were rolling, so he couldn’t laugh.

Only you, Jiang Yining.

Jiang Yining, I admit today you’re speaking for me.

“Th-this really is from a famous handmade shop in Italy. Sister, you’re not even Italian, how can you accuse?”

Jiang Yining, who grew up in Florence: “Per favore non mentire.”

(Italian: Please don’t lie.)

“……” Ke Yuxin was utterly baffled.

In Italy, she had relied on English and translation apps, knowing only a few basic Italian phrases she had no idea what Jiang Yining had just said.

As awkward silence settled in, the AI broadcast came to the rescue.

“Newly arrived guests, please coordinate with the others to choose your dormitory arrangements.”

Liang Yuan helped carry Ke Yuxin’s luggage upstairs.

Gu Rufeng’s suitcase was already placed in Wen Huiyun’s room.

The production team had added an extra bed to the single room, and Gu Rufeng, seeing the vacant spot, had simply left her luggage there.

Noticing the electric guitar now in the room, Wen Huiyun called out to Gu Rufeng and chatted with her for a while.

Ye Zhuoyan lingered in the living room, unwilling to return to the omega rest area.

Ding!

Today’s Whispers of Love message arrived.

‘Dear Ms. Ye, I’ll be waiting for you at the secret hideout on the third floor at 10:30 tonight.’

A faint smile curled Ye Zhuoyan’s lips.
