The True Heiress And The Fake Heiress Ended Up Together - Chapter 62

“Director Zhou, the livestream has started.”

Zhou Chuze was watching the situation with Jiang Anyan. After learning she was in the “Cat” team and was responsible for catching people, she was rubbing her hands together, ready to go all out.

The other four male artists were laughing and playing along, keeping the atmosphere light.

This was the first episode, and Zhou Chuze had already released various promotions beforehand.

“A battle of wits between the pursued and the pursuer!” “An intense game of cat and mouse!” “The exciting showdown between a film empress and a rising young star!” “She runs, she chases, she cannot escape!” “More exciting content, all on Jinjiang Livestream!”

The publicity team used a lot of small tricks, knowing that fans were shipping the Jiang Anyan x Jian Ying’an CP, so they boldly used it in their promotion, afraid they wouldn’t lure people in otherwise.

The promotion was very effective, and there were many people in the livestream room.

The assistant’s head was buzzing, and he looked at Zhou Chuze with a complicated expression.

You’re worried about the Shen family’s warning and afraid it won’t be broadcastable later, so you just opened a livestream.

If you’re so cowardly, why did you sign Jian Ying’an?!

Of course, the assistant also knew that without Jian Ying’an and Jiang Anyan, it would be difficult to attract so many viewers with just the remaining artists, who were either has-beens or semi-has-beens.

The assistant picked up the tablet, which displayed the livestream screen.

Amidst the scattered praises of “The brothers are so handsome,” the most eye-catching comments were:

The sisters aren’t on the same team! I’m sad, I’m upset! I wonder if they’ll be caught~

Zhou Chuze glanced at the screen and snorted.

Naive. I’m here to break up your CP. How could I put them on the same team? Of course not!

Assistant: “…”

Then why don’t you have the guts to separate Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian?

Zhou Chuze didn’t have the guts.

The bullet screen started asking who the girl next to Jian Ying’an was; she looked very close to Jian Ying’an, and they seemed like a great potential ship, too.

In less than a few minutes, this group of fickle fans, who would follow the food wherever it was, defected.

The audience watched the two girls of similar age getting close and left comments praising the director.

And then.

Qin Mianmian leaned closer to Jian Ying’an and asked, “Do you want to hug me?”

The bullet screen froze for two seconds before wildly surging again.

The speed was too fast to read.

The combined fans of the male artists couldn’t compete.

Jian Ying’an felt her waist tighten. She looked back at Qin Mianmian’s innocent expression and thought, Do you even know the suggestive things you’re saying?!

Couldn’t you save those words for home?

Why here, now? How am I supposed to answer!

Yes, she definitely wanted to hug her.

Even if it was just a simple embrace, she wanted to hug her.

Jian Ying’an didn’t want to be insincere. Her gaze darkened to match her thoughts. Just as her hand was about to reach out, Qin Mianmian pointed at the chandelier.

“Look at that light.”

Jian Ying’an: “…”

She looked up and saw a piece of paper seemingly placed on the light.

She turned back, remained silent, and feigned a calm demeanor while struggling to suppress her inner emotions. She nodded seriously: “The clue is placed so secretly.”

The bullet screen burst into loud laughter.

Unaware of the comments, Jian Ying’an lifted Qin Mianmian so she could reach out and grab the paper.

Jian Ying’an buried her head near Qin Mianmian’s stomach and waist. Qin Mianmian was soft and gentle everywhere. She kept leaning into her, making the hug incredibly difficult.

They were swaying, and the light was swaying, too.

The camera was also swaying.

The photographer couldn’t help but suggest, “How about we find a stool…”

“Ah! Got it!”

Qin Mianmian successfully retrieved the paper from the light. She patted Jian Ying’an’s shoulder, signaling her to put her down.

Amidst the photographer’s speechless look, Jian Ying’an set Qin Mianmian down.

Jian Ying’an sighed, looking at the paper in Qin Mianmian’s hand.

If the show continues to be filmed like this, it’s really not going to work out.

Qin Mianmian had never played an escape room or similar game before, so she was very excited and found everything interesting.

She opened the note, expecting it to state an identity, but instead, it listed a floor number, and then a set of numbers.

Qin Mianmian: “…”

The Cat team entered.

Jian Ying’an and the others were on the second floor, so they were seen first. Similarly, the other team downstairs also immediately spotted the various equipment around them—to achieve good effects, there was a lot of tall equipment.

And then they saw the two girls.

The two groups met, but no greetings were exchanged.

Jian Ying’an felt speechless. What kind of terrible game is this? Why not just say it’s a ‘Tear the Name Tag’ game?

She led Qin Mianmian and started running.

They didn’t have name tags on them and didn’t know the rules of the cat-and-mouse game, but they still had to run.

The floor written on the note was the third floor. Qin Mianmian ran towards the third floor, wanting to check the clue even if they got caught.

Jian Ying’an and Qin Mianmian ran ahead, with the camera crew chasing behind.

The people downstairs were also running up.

Jian Ying’an reached the bookshelf first. Following the numbers on the note, she found the marked book and quickly flipped through it, hoping to find something useful inside.

Otherwise, this would be too boring.

A card was placed on the book. At the same time, Jiang Anyan also ran up.

She gave Jian Ying’an a friendly smile: “Why are you running? Don’t run.”

Jiang Anyan approached step by step. Jian Ying’an quickly slipped the card to Qin Mianmian. As the bullet screen collectively shouted about the “capture scene,” Jian Ying’an quickly thought of the appropriate response.

This was a variety show recording, similar to filming a drama, which required acting skills.

However, without a script, improvisation was necessary.

Seeing Jiang Anyan’s reaction, she found the best way to respond: “I don’t believe you can catch me directly.”

Jiang Anyan raised her voice in an inquisitive tone: “Oh?”

There were indeed restrictions, but the staff only told the Cat team.

However, that restriction was almost nonexistent.

Jiang Anyan found it too easy and considered whether to go easy on Jian Ying’an. She suggestively hinted to Jian Ying’an to say a few more useless things, such as betraying her teammates, to achieve a good variety show effect.

Jian Ying’an understood the hint.

Qin Mianmian took a moment to read the content of the card and then exclaimed, “Sister, I’m the Secret Admirer!”

She handed the card to Jian Ying’an to look at.

It turned out that by getting the card, one could gain the card’s identity, a skill, and a clue.

The skill was that the Secret Admirer could protect the person they liked.

Jiang Anyan was curious about the card’s content and wanted to come over and see.

Before she could get close, she saw Qin Mianmian embracing Jian Ying’an. She stood behind Jian Ying’an, wrapping her arms around her from the back, reaching over Jian Ying’an’s shoulders, and hugging her.

She locked her arms around Jian Ying’an’s neck.

Jian Ying’an was a bit taller than her. To avoid being choked, she cooperatively leaned back, approaching Qin Mianmian as if being held hostage.

Qin Mianmian rested her head on Jian Ying’an’s shoulder, looked at Jiang Anyan triumphantly, and loudly declared, “I like my sister!”

Jiang Anyan: “…”

Jian Ying’an: “…”

Both of them had heard this sentence too many times, so they couldn’t react immediately. They were only curious why Qin Mianmian said this in this situation.

Indeed, the identity of Secret Admirer had nothing to do with Qin Mianmian.

She says she likes someone when she likes them, completely breaking her supposed character setting.

Even Jian Ying’an, relying on Qin Mianmian’s affection, had no sense of crisis. Her steps in pursuing Qin Mianmian were slow and leisurely, enjoying the feeling of being in love prematurely.

So, she wants to say that she likes Jian Ying’an, not that she’s a Secret Admirer?

Jiang Anyan had a look of seeing a ghost. She was still single and yet had to eat huge amounts of dog food.

The IQs of both of them dropped simultaneously until the program staff prompted them.

“The Secret Admirer has successfully expressed their feelings and can protect their loved one, who cannot be captured during this period.”

Qin Mianmian beamed with pride: “My sister is the person I love, so you can’t catch us now.”

Jiang Anyan: “…”

This game is so boring.

Jian Ying’an: “…This game is really good.”

What she was thinking was inadvertently spoken aloud. Then she heard Qin Mianmian’s happy laughter, like a child who had received a beloved toy. Qin Mianmian hugged Jian Ying’an with cherished affection.

Jiang Anyan really wanted to ask, isn’t this supposed to be a confrontation-based, puzzle-solving, thrilling, and stimulating variety show?

Why is it so sickeningly sweet?

Jiang Anyan’s expression was odd; she already foresaw the show flopping.

The audience was excited, extraordinarily excited.

The popularity was much higher than the other groups, and everyone expressed their desire to fully support it.

Jian Ying’an remembered they were still filming. She asked, “How long does ‘during this period’ last?”

It turned out to be one hour.

During this hour, they could leave the library to look for the card to eliminate the Cat, and the Secret Admirer’s skill would expire after one hour.

The location was not restricted to the library, which made sense.

The two were sent to a car. Qin Mianmian was still fiddling with the Secret Admirer card. Her heart was full of joy, and she finally put the card away.

She looked at Jian Ying’an.

“Sister, I’ve confessed my feelings to you.”

Jian Ying’an’s finger twitched. She half-closed her eyes. Wasn’t that using a skill?

Why is she looking at me with such an expectant look for a reply?

Qin Mianmian wasn’t planning on letting Jian Ying’an off the hook. With the identity card in hand, she could advance or retreat: “Sister, I like you.”

Her eyes silently urged.

Hurry up and answer.

Do you like me, too?

Can we be together?

Jian Ying’an couldn’t withstand such a gaze. She averted her eyes: “You protected me.”

She wanted to emphasize that this was during filming, this was a variety show identity, and she couldn’t take this as a confession.

But the phrase “You protected me” sounded half-true and half-false, making the undercurrent of emotion in her words even harder to distinguish.

Qin Mianmian: “Yes, I protected you.”

Her attention was diverted. She looked up and pondered the sentence, then her eyes curved, and she smiled. She never expected that she would one day be able to protect her sister.

Qin Mianmian looked at the camera and smiled again.

Her smile was sweet and directly struck the heart.

Silence, silence…

Jian Ying’an felt that even if she were to answer, she couldn’t answer now. Whatever she said now wouldn’t be taken seriously; she had to wait until the recording was over.

Finding the card to eliminate the Cat was equivalent to finding the Cat’s weakness.

Jian Ying’an stood in a different room. She and Qin Mianmian were separated by a wall, and they couldn’t communicate or see each other now.

She looked at the wall, then at the screen in the room.

It turned out that the Cat’s weakness was the weakness of the guest themselves.

Which guest’s weakness is trust!

Now she had to be separated from Qin Mianmian and answer the same question. If the answers were different, they would be attacked and eliminated by the room owner.

What the heck… is this about trust? This is about tacit understanding!

Honestly, given the limits, they couldn’t film the weakness of human nature, so they could only use a quiz format.

Question One

“Do you think the other person will betray you?”

In the other room, Qin Mianmian, without her sister’s company, felt deflated. She hadn’t received her sister’s answer yet.

She was still looking at the card, flipping it over and over.

She had read the three words “Secret Admirer” countless times.

She had liked Jian Ying’an since the first moment they met. At that time, she felt that she had finally found her—

The sister from her dreams had finally appeared before her.

Unlike her dreams, Jian Ying’an was real, treated her very well, and was attentive and caring in every way—simply the ideal sister.

She couldn’t bear to lose her.
