Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity-Chapter 594 - 314 Don’t Leave Tonight

Chapter 594: Chapter 314: Don’t Leave Tonight Chapter 594 -314: Don’t Leave Tonight Leaving Patek Philippe, Xu Qingyan glanced down at the watch on his wrist.

“Why did you give me this?”

Pei Muchan still had some measure of restraint; she had held back two months’ worth of aggravation, releasing most of it during a single day of shopping.

Now back to her normal self, she turned to look at him.

“You’re running a business now.

You’ll find it useful at some point.”

Xu Qingyan fiddled with the watch before looking up, half-jokingly, “Then should I get you one too?”

“No need.” Pei Muchan brushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear, her eyes narrowing slightly, her voice indifferent, “I don’t wear watches.”

In the car, Xu Qingyan just started the engine, while Pei Muchan had just fastened her seatbelt.

“You…”

“Hm?” He glanced over at her.

The seatbelt outlined the full contour of her chest, and as Pei Muchan looked out the window, her profile bore a cold aloofness, a kind of ascetic bitterness.

...

Had it been earlier, Xu Qingyan might have felt a bit uneasy, but now he just wanted to pinch her gently.

Older sister types are cute when pinched.

“Have you ever…

been given a watch by someone before?” Pei Muchan asked.

Driving, Xu Qingyan responded without hesitation.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

“Yeah.”

“Who?” Pei Muchan pursed her lips, struggling to remain calm.

“Some neighbor auntie gave me a watch; it’s still in my room back in my old house.” Xu Qingyan, feeling good, liked to talk big.

“Which neighbor auntie?” Pei Muchan turned to look at him, a cold smile on her face.

“A neighbor, a neighbor.” Xu Qingyan put on a nervous smile, not daring to joke further, “Her father was into gambling, her mother was ill, and her younger brother couldn’t afford school, so she could only go south to work.”

“The electronics factory she worked at made watches, and she gave me a Spider-Man watch.”

Pei Muchan said quietly, “And then?

Still in contact?”

Xu Qingyan clicked his tongue, “That depends on whether her husband allows it.”

“You!

Why don’t you go find her!” Pei Muchan knew he was just teasing her, but still, she couldn’t help getting angry.

This guy really never changed; he loved to provoke.

“Don’t be like that; she already has two kids.” Xu Qingyan kept teasing Pei Muchan, adhering to the principle of idle chatter while driving.

“Hmm.” Pei Muchan crossed her arms, “What if she didn’t have kids?

Would you still be interested?”

“Even if she didn’t have kids, I wouldn’t be interested.

Honestly, our place was too poor.” Xu Qingyan said, “The idea of love was too luxurious for us.”

Pei Muchan hummed in response, but said nothing.

“So, I consider myself lucky to have met someone I like just a few years into working.” Xu Qingyan, chattering away as he drove, continued, “Times without money were truly hard, but now…

now it’s better.”

Pei Muchan was caught off guard when she heard him say he had met someone he liked after just two years of working.

It was unexpected for him to be so forthright, and her body shook slightly in response.

“Now…

what about now?”

Xu Qingyan drove, his smile clean and pure.

“If I had met you earlier, even the days without money wouldn’t have been so bad.”

Pei Muchan in the passenger seat felt a sudden softness in her heart, her lashes fluttering.

Biting her lip, she didn’t know what to say for a long time.

“Well, it doesn’t matter.

I have money.”

Hearing this, Xu Qingyan silently chuckled.

“I’d like you even without money.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“You’re not lying to me?” Pei Muchan sought confirmation again and again.

“I’m not lying to you.”

Reassured by his answer, Pei Muchan relaxed against her seat, a slight smile curving her lips.

She didn’t even realize she was gradually becoming more childish.

As for whether Xu Qingyan was telling the truth, he could only say it was all hypothetical.

It was not to be taken too seriously, like watching a movie for enjoyment—if believing it was helpful, then there’s no harm.

The fondness was real, and so were the feelings.

Hypotheticals and ifs had no real significance; the essence was simply to make his girlfriend happy.

Dusk fell.

Xu Qingyan accompanied Pei Muchan shopping at the supermarket.

It seemed they had caught some event, and the place was crowded.

Together, the two attracted a lot of attention as they walked.

Even without makeup, the attractiveness of these two among ordinary folks was like a blow from another dimension.

Pei Muchan had gone out barefaced, wearing a black mask and a baseball cap.

Xu Qingyan hadn’t worn a mask, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and khaki casual pants, also with the same cap.

Bought during today’s shopping, they wore them now due to the crowd.

There was no one who approached to strike up a conversation—most just followed at a distance, wondering if they were celebrities of some sort.

But since Xu Qingyan hadn’t been seen around lately, no one made the connection.

For a long time, Xu Qingyan had stopped appearing in front of the camera.

From the moment he realized he could earn a stable income from his stockpile of song and film knowledge, he deliberately began transitioning towards the background, avoiding the public eye.

Take today, for example—if the person standing next to him were Lin Wanzhou.

Although she didn’t appear on variety shows, she did a fair amount of promotion; she would definitely be recognized if she went out.

But since Pei Muchan was quite indifferent by nature, aside from releasing songs, she didn’t show her face.

After rising to fame, she didn’t join variety shows or hold concerts.

Even when going out like today, a mask was all it took to remain incognito.

Xu Qingyan was even bolder; the internet had no memory.

Even the hottest celebrities would be forgotten after a year without public appearances.

Not to mention a minor singer-songwriter.

They were niche to the point of anonymity.

This was precisely the outcome Xu Qingyan wanted—appearing in front of the camera to maintain popularity was merely a means to make money.

That came with the negative side effect of one’s private life being scrutinized.

For Lin Wanzhou, there was no choice; she needed to reach the pinnacle and go even beyond.

Pei Muchan was securely an idle fish, while Xu Qingyan was driven purely by personal motives.
