Chapter 7: The Mysterious Male Guest Makes His Entrance

Li Ming'en was frustrated by Su Nian's tone of disdain.
But facing the cameras, he couldn't ruin his public persona.
He could only muster a false concern and say, "Nian Nian, there's no need to do this just to spite me."
"You're still a girl; carrying something so heavy—if you're not careful..."
Before he could finish, Su Nian's actions shut him up.
The suitcase that Li Ming'en had struggled to lift with all his strength, Su Nian picked up effortlessly.
Not only that, she deliberately carried the suitcase, her face unflushed and breathing steady, circling him once.
Then, she strode upstairs with the suitcase, her steps graceful.
She never once said it was heavy, as if Li Ming'en's earlier struggle was nothing but a performance.
Li Ming'en's face turned green.
[Seriously, Li Ming'en couldn't lift the suitcase, but Su Nian did it with ease?]
[Haha, the damage isn't high, but the humiliation is extreme. Did anyone catch Li Ming'en's expression as Su Nian circled him?]
[Li Ming'en looks muscular, but is it like water-injected pork—looks good but useless?]
[Isn't a pig's life still a life?]
...
When Su Nian came downstairs again, she headed straight for Cui Mengya.
"Do you still need help with the remaining suitcases?"
Cui Mengya opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Su Nian continued, "Send me fifty, and I'll take care of all four remaining suitcases."
Su Nian adopted a look as if Cui Mengya was getting a bargain, leaving Cui Mengya dumbfounded.
She instinctively glanced at Li Ming'en, whose face was dark.
"You don't need to look at him. I work better than he does, and my cost-performance ratio is higher."
Su Nian's words made Li Ming'en so angry he nearly spit blood.
[Haha, this sister's words are truly wild—one sentence and people are fuming!]
[Has Su Nian gone mad with poverty? Who else would earn attraction points this way?]
[Li Ming'en's fans are panicking, but Su Nian earns attraction points with her own labor—perfectly reasonable. It's not like she should be exploited for free.]
...

Cui Mengya didn't immediately respond to Su Nian, but turned toward Li Ming'en.
She spoke sweetly, "Ming'en, it must have been an accident just now. Why don't you help me with the rest of the suitcases?"
Looking at the gentle and understanding Cui Mengya, Li Ming'en's expression softened a little.
"Accident is the greatest lie in the world. It deceives oneself and lets the incompetent indulge in self-delusion, unable to break free."
Su Nian spoke languidly, casting a sidelong glance at Cui Mengya and Li Ming'en.
The stage Cui Mengya had just set for Li Ming'en was instantly obliterated.
Li Ming'en clenched his fists, his face red, clearly pushed to his limits. "Su Nian!"
With a shout, Su Nian nervously hugged herself, "Illegal use of force is punishable by detention. According to our law, you could get up to three years in prison, detention, or supervision."
Li Ming'en: "..."
He held back, finally relaxing his clenched fists.
Su Nian seized the opportunity, picked up Cui Mengya's remaining suitcases, and briskly delivered them upstairs.
Then she came downstairs, happily collecting her attraction points on her phone.
According to the show's rules, attraction points were not only used to compete for the title of Attraction King at each stop, but could also be exchanged for extra date coupons.
This meant one extra chance to invite a person of interest out on a date compared to others.
Watching Su Nian greedily collecting attraction points, Li Ming'en wondered if all her actions were just to attract his attention and secure a date with him.
Thinking this way, Su Nian's sudden wildness seemed explainable.
But this time, no matter how hard Su Nian tried, he would never change his mind.
After all, he had already climbed onto a branch far superior to Su Nian.
Meanwhile, Su Nian, focused on her business and earning attraction points, had no clue about Li Ming'en's mediocre thoughts.
Having finished harvesting attraction points from Cui Mengya, she set her sights on Xia Xingkong.
Xia Xingkong, after watching the drama unfold, was suddenly caught by Su Nian's sparkling gaze.
She immediately felt like a juicy steak in a hunting dog's eyes.
"Su Nian, just say what you want—don't look at me with those disgusting eyes."
"Darling, do you need suitcase transportation services? Supreme enjoyment, one-stop delivery, cash on delivery, fair prices—would you like to place an order now?"
Xia Xingkong: "..."
Where did Su Nian learn that sales pitch?
Still, Xia Xingkong really didn't want to carry her own luggage, lest it mess up her look.

"Look at you—at least you're..."
The words "daughter of the richest man" had just escaped Xia Xingkong's lips when the voice of a new guest entering the house drowned it out.
So Li Ming'en, not far from them, only caught the word "daughter."
He felt amused—Su Nian, a "daughter"? Perhaps a daughter of poverty.
The new guests numbered four.
Yuzu TV's sweetheart-faced anchor Yi Linglin, idol singer and dancer Cen Zifan, and the recently divorced actor Chu Tianhe.
None of them had successfully invited their attraction targets—they met on the road and decided to arrive together.
"Everyone's here, looks like we're late. Here's a small gift, just to apologize—"
Yi Linglin spoke first, smoothly producing prepared gifts for everyone.
It was a handheld mini fan, a new model from a famous brand.
Yi Linglin happened to be the brand ambassador, so this round of gifting not only gained her goodwill but also showcased her professionalism, earning her waves of praise from viewers.
[Our Linglin is beautiful and kind, generous and attentive, and I hear she cooks well. The male guests who get to be her CP are truly lucky.]
[Linglin arrived with Cen Zifan and Chu Tianhe—do you think one of them is her attraction target? After all, she said when she joined the show it was for a certain someone, and promised to share good news first thing.]
[Braving love for the reality show—Linglin is truly a brave, pure-hearted warrior!]
[Take away our Zifan, no match! Zifan is still young; reality shows are forced by greedy managers.]
[Chu Tianhe and Yi Linglin have known each other for ages—if something could happen, it wouldn't take a reality show.]
[All the female guests have arrived, but isn't there still a male guest missing?]
[Yes, the mysterious guest—the one on the phone with his ex.]
[Is he a frog or a prince? Hurry up and show him, or I'll quit the show!]
Whether the production team heard the audience's calls or it was pure coincidence,
almost as soon as the online chatter about the mysterious male guest died down, the door to the attraction house was pushed open again.
As the final guest and the highlight of the arrival, everyone's curiosity was piqued.
Except Su Nian, who had no interest in men and cared only about earning attraction points.
As the house door slowly opened, the first thing to appear was a pair of black combat boots, then long, straight legs, and above them, a flawless figure made for clothes.
Finally, everyone's eyes landed on that much-anticipated face.
