Xu Muyan left early in the morning for her film set. Gu Zhi woke up to find freshly cooked porridge in the rice cooker. She had a message from Xu Muyan on WeChat.
— [Xu Muyan] Remember to eat the porridge. — [Gu Zhi] Thank you, the porridge is delicious.
Gu Zhi turned off her phone. In two days, it would be the public confession segment. She felt quite shy knowing that global audiences would be watching her confession.
“CEO Gu, can I ask you something?” Ji Mo blinked at her.
“Go ahead.”
“Were those old rumors about you and Film Queen Xu true?”
“Huh?”
“Like, about forced love…”
“Pfff—” Gu Zhi nearly spat out her milk. “What kind of talk is that? I never did anything like that to Sister.”
“I’m just asking out of gossip. After all, the show is almost over, and it would be a pity not to speculate a little. They also said you were Film Queen Xu’s sugar daddy, but looking at you two, what does it matter if you are? There’s nothing wrong with two people being in love.” Ji Mo admired himself in the mirror. “But I should advise you to check your pheromone matching rate.”
“What does that mean?”
“You don’t know? A new couple has to check their pheromone concentration before getting married. The higher the concentration, the greater the chance of getting pregnant.”
Gu Zhi hummed in realization. Honestly, it had been a while since she permanently marked Xu Muyan. She didn’t know if she was pregnant. It was time to take her to the hospital for a check-up.
By the time Gu Zhi received a message from Xu Muyan, it was already evening. Xu Muyan finished work early, and Gu Zhi parked nearby. They specially stopped filming for the check-up, intending to verify their pheromone match and see if Xu Muyan was pregnant.
“Sister, are you nervous?” Gu Zhi asked.
“I’m probably less nervous than you,” Xu Muyan said, looking at Gu Zhi’s trembling legs. “Drive carefully!”
Fortunately, Qin Huan still worked at the hospital, so Gu Zhi could ask her for help, preventing nosy people from taking photos and posting them online.
Qin Huan glanced at the ultrasound. “Not pregnant. But your pheromone match is 99%. You can perfectly regulate each other during rut and heat periods.”
Gu Zhi replied, “That goes without saying, doesn’t it? I relied on Sister during my last rut.”
Qin Huan tugged at the corner of her mouth. “So you two got together that quickly.”
Xu Muyan seemed slightly disappointed. She asked coldly, “How can we get pregnant more effectively?”
Qin Huan laughed. “Well, as an outsider, how can I tell you the details? For example, play some little games to tease each other, just do that more often, and it will be easier.”
Seeing the gloomy looks on their faces.
“What’s wrong?”
Gu Zhi said, “My parents think Sister is pregnant.” Although I told them that, they’ll find out sooner or later!
Qin Huan paused. She knew Gu Lan wouldn’t allow Gu Zhi to be with anyone in the entertainment industry. For him to accept them, he must have heard some acceptable news, and pregnancy was the only thing that made sense. “You’re quite something, claiming a pregnancy before marriage.”
“This…” Gu Zhi lowered her head sheepishly. She didn’t know Xu Muyan wasn’t pregnant back then. If Gu Lan and Gao Qi returned and saw Xu Muyan’s belly was still flat, they definitely wouldn’t let her be with Sister!
“In any case, thank you for your help.” Xu Muyan stood up and hugged Gu Zhi. “The die is cast. We might as well play along.”
Gu Zhi’s ears began to turn red. “Sister… you…”
“Let’s go to a hotel,” Xu Muyan smiled. “I need to use the restroom first.”
Xu Muyan’s departure did nothing to cool down Gu Zhi’s flushed ears.
Qin Huan looked somewhat envious. “It must be nice to have a big star like you.”
“I guess you could say I’m very likable,” Gu Zhi said shyly.
“By the way, do you have Xu Ranzhi’s contact information?” Qin Huan asked cautiously.
“Why?”
“I suddenly realized I’m still thinking about her. Don’t laugh, but I actually really like her…”
“Sorry, I don’t,” Gu Zhi said sympathetically.
Qin Huan huffed. “I shouldn’t have listened to you and come here!” Xu Ranzhi left, and now I’m miserable thinking about her all day. I’ve never cared so much about an omega.
…
Xu Muyan went to the restroom, and her phone immediately displayed several messages.
— [Lan Ziqin] I’m coming back home. — [Lan Ziqin] Come welcome me!
It was her friend Lan Ziqin.
— [Xu Muyan] When are you arriving? — [Xu Muyan] (Excited dog emoji).jpg — [Lan Ziqin] Tomorrow, but I can only meet you the day after tomorrow. — [Xu Muyan] Why? — [Lan Ziqin] Because my girlfriend is picking me up. I’m going to have a wonderful night with her tomorrow. — [Lan Ziqin] I forgot to tell you, I started dating an alpha a few days ago. — [Xu Muyan] Congratulations. — [Lan Ziqin] You definitely know her. — [Xu Muyan] Who is it?
— [Lan Ziqin] Jiang Shiyi.
Seeing those three words, Xu Muyan was suddenly startled. Gu Zhi had previously warned her to be careful of Jiang Shiyi, and now her friend was dating her. Gu Zhi was already waiting outside, so Xu Muyan stopped replying.
They arrived at the hotel. Gu Zhi sat on the bed dazedly after taking a shower. A wonderful journey was about to begin. Gu Zhi couldn’t stop grinning foolishly. She was too excited and couldn’t think about anything else. I’m so shy.
Xu Muyan came out after her shower, wrapped in a white bath towel. A faint scent of shower gel lingered on her. Her hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, vaguely obscuring her curves.
“Sister.” Gu Zhi wrapped her arms around her waist. The scent on Xu Muyan grew stronger as she got closer.
Xu Muyan smiled sweetly. “Do you like me?”
“Of course, I do.” Gu Zhi rubbed against her smooth, fragrant shoulder.
“I’ll make you like me even more.” Xu Muyan smirked, her eyes full of seductive charm. Her slender hand gently caressed Gu Zhi’s nose and lips back and forth. Gu Zhi felt a tickle and let out a soft groan. “Sister, I can’t take it anymore.”
Xu Muyan smiled, leading her into an ecstatic dream.
“Does doing it more really increase the chance of pregnancy?” Gu Zhi mumbled. “Don’t say I’m not good in bed. That’s just asking for trouble!”
Xu Muyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “You went to the hospital for a check-up; everything is fine. Besides, it will be better when we’re in our heat and rut periods… I checked, heat is in a few days… Ah! Be gentle!”
Afterward, Gu Zhi held Xu Muyan tightly, keeping her warm.
“You were amazing,” Xu Muyan breathed out in her arms, using her usual encouraging tone to boost Gu Zhi’s confidence, even though Gu Zhi was still inexperienced. However, she was exhausted, and her voice was weak.
Gu Zhi stroked her hair and asked cautiously, “Was I really that great?”
Xu Muyan raised an eyebrow. “Of course. My CEO Gu is the best and most amazing. Didn’t you hear how I was calling out just now?” Gu Zhi’s face flushed upon hearing that.
“Sister, on the way to the hotel just now, do you know what I saw?”
“What?”
“The moon. It was shining brightly on you. I suddenly thought you were the Moon Goddess incarnate.”
Xu Muyan was amused. “You’re such a flatterer.”
Gu Zhi held her hand and gently kissed it. “If I could, would you believe me if I said I’ll love you forever?”
Xu Muyan’s eyes sparkled, and the corners were slightly moist. “What if you’re lying?”
“I don’t know if I can truly guarantee forever, but right now, I genuinely want to spend the rest of my life with you. I think I’ll never fall in love with anyone else after you.”
Xu Muyan pursed her lips, saying nothing.
“Also, stop calling me Gu Zhi, Gu Zhi. It sounds so distant,” Gu Zhi huffed.
“Then, Zhi-Zhi?”
“That sounds like a mom calling her daughter.”
“Baby?”
“No.”
“Then what do you want?” Xu Muyan asked with a helpless smile.
Gu Zhi kissed her cheek. “I’ll tell you later. Calling me Zhi-Zhi is fine for now.”
…
The last three days of filming were dedicated to the confession segment. Gu Zhi had been looking forward to it for a long time. “Finally, I can confess~” Although she had already confessed, this was on camera, not only to netizens but also to the fans who had loved Xu Muyan for so many years! Gu Zhi braced herself. She was determined to impress these fans! Hehe~
Everyone was in the living room, and each person seemed to be wearing a reluctant expression. They must be bored, Gu Zhi thought.
Qin Huan spoke first. “It’s almost over. Will we be able to gather again later?”
“Probably not,” Gu Zhi pouted. She was only here to clear her name and demonstrate her relationship with Xu Muyan.
After several days, everyone believed only two couples would succeed: Gu Zhi and Xu Muyan, and Ji Mo and Wo Aini. The others were just accompanying runners. For them, finding a partner on the show was secondary.
Wo Aini specially made porridge for Ji Mo and handed it to him. “Eat well today. Don’t try to lose too much weight.”
Ji Mo was all smiles, but then he heard Qin Huan adjust her glasses. “Porridge has high calories. It won’t help with weight loss.”
Ji Mo gasped. “I remember Sister Qin is a doctor, right?”
Qin Huan hummed in agreement. Gu Zhi spoke up for her friend. “She was supposed to go back and inherit the family fortune, but she loves being a doctor. She’s only in her twenties but already has a doctorate and works at a top-tier hospital.”
“Inherit the family fortune? Has a doctorate?” Ji Mo sounded startled. He carefully examined Qin Huan. Given her cold and noble demeanor, it was perfectly normal for her to come from a wealthy family.
After finishing her meal, Xu Muyan said, “I need to go shoot now.”
“I’ll take you,” Gu Zhi shrugged. “I don’t have anything to do today, so I’ll watch you act on set.”
The corner of Xu Muyan’s mouth lifted in a smile. “Are you sure you want to watch?”
“Sister, you don’t want me there?” Gu Zhi laughed, putting on her coat. “I’ll just watch quietly and won’t disturb you.”
“Okay.”
