653 Fiancée

For the recording of ‘Life at the Foot of the Mountain’, there were two guests other than Song Ci. One was Xu Qin, who had been popular recently, and the other was Di Cheng, who had just made a name for himself. Song Ci did not know them, but out of courtesy, she went online to check their and the hosts’ works, likes, and dislikes and shared them with Lu Gan.

After Lu Gan finished watching, he got off the plane confidently and followed Song Ci to the recording location.

Song Ci knocked on the door for Ji Yue to open it a moment later. She was wearing a plain dress and had a graceful temperament. “I guessed it was you two. Come on in. We’ve been waiting for you.”

Song Ci nodded and walked in with Lu Gan. The others had already arrived.

Xu Qin had brought her friend from the industry, Lan Xue, and the two were chatting with Di Cheng.

Beside Di Cheng sat a boy about his age. When he saw Song Ci walk in, he took the initiative to stand up and greet her. “Nice to meet you, Sister Song. I’m Gao Jing, Di Cheng’s friend.” After he finished speaking, Di Cheng also stood up and called her Sister Song.

Seeing this, Xu Qin and Lan Xue quickly stood up and introduced themselves with a smile.

Song CI reciprocated. “This is my friend, Lu Gan. You might not have met him before since he’s not from the industry.”

Xie Chuan and Ji Yue had known that Song Ci was bringing someone who was not from the industry, so they were not surprised. They smiled and said, “Why are you standing? Sit, sit.”

“What would you two like to drink?” she asked Song Ci.

“I’ll have a lemonade,” Song Ci said before turning to look at Lu Gan.

“The same for me,” Lu Gan said indifferently.

Xie Chuan turned around to get them a drink while Xu Qin pushed the fruit platter to Song Ci and the others.

“Thank you,” Song Ci said.

Xu Qin laughed and said in a gentle tone, “You’re welcome.”

With all the guests present, everyone could chat about tomorrow’s recording. As it was a live broadcast, they had to be even more prepared.

Xie Chuan sat on the sofa and naturally began to host the scene. “Let’s play a scripted game of guess the killer tomorrow, okay?”

The few of them had no objections.

As he spoke, Xie Chuan took out the script.

Song Ci took the Eldest Young Lady script. Xu Qin chose the Second Miss, Lan Xue chose the guest, and Ji Yue chose the Madam.

Since Lu Gan chose the Eldest Young Master, Di Cheng took the other Young Master title, while Gao Jing got the programmer.

After distributing the scripts, everyone had a meal together and began reading their scripts.

Song Ci opened her script to find it written clearly: [The Eldest Young Lady of your X family has gathered here today to celebrate your official engagement with the eldest young master of the Y Family (please change the name of the guest) and discuss the specifics of your marriage.]

If Song Ci remembered correctly, Lu Gan had chosen the Eldest Young Master’s script!

Sure enough, she soon received a message from Lu Gan.

Lu Gan texted: [Wife? Fiancée?]

[See that? It’s fate. Even if the script kills you off, you’re still my wife!]

Song Ci was speechless.

The night passed in the midst of reading and memorizing the script.

Although she could bring her card along as a reminder when she played the game, for the sake of the audience’s experience, Song Ci still memorized most of the script to better play the role of a rich Miss. In the morning, she changed her clothes to something more suitable for the role.

Lu Gan had already changed his clothes and was waiting in the living room. He was wearing a suit prepared by the production team. Although the material was not comparable to what he usually wore, the design was exquisite and highlighted his height and long legs. To match Song Ci’s style, he chose a court-style shirt.

Song Ci had never seen Lu Gan in this style and kept staring at him. Though Lu Gan was doing the same. Song Ci’s beauty was gentle and refreshing. Wearing a gorgeous palace-style dress, she looked like a proud and bright young lady.

Lu Gan looked at Song Ci and slowly smiled.

Song Ci saw him staring at her and smiling. With so many people around, she was a little embarrassed. “What are you smiling at?”

“I’m happy, alright? My fiancée is so beautiful.”

Song Ci’s ears turned red as she deliberately snorted. “Who’s your fiancée?”

Lu Qian smiled and said, “You didn’t read the script carefully. Isn’t our family gathered here today to celebrate our engagement?”

Song Ci was speechless.

“Brother-in-law, you treat my sister well,” Xu Qin added without much thought.

“Of course,” Lu Gan replied generously.

The others also laughed and congratulated him, treating it as a scene to get into character before the script started.
