After Agreeing to Go on a Parenting Show With My Omega Ex-Girlfriend – Chapter 5

The Innocence a Mother of a Three-Year-Old Shouldn’t Have.

The innocence a mother of a three-year-old shouldn’t have.

Just how loving do we have to be?

As if seeing through Qi Song’s thoughts, Yu Luo said, “First of all, you can’t possibly call me Miss Yu on the show.”

That’s true.

Qi Song asked warily, “Then what do you want me to call you?”

Yu Luo lowered her gaze, her eyelashes casting a faint shadow beneath her eyes.

She was silent for a moment, and finally, her voice was as light as a sigh, “Then just call me like you used to.”

Qi Song: “…”

Crap, what was ‘like you used to’? I don’t have the original owner’s memories from before the breakup!

She appeared calm on the surface, but in her mind, she had already scoured through the original owner’s memories from the last two years and couldn’t find the answer.

Facing the danger of exposing that she wasn’t the original owner, Qi Song steeled herself to make a decision and said in a deep voice:

“I’ve seen loving wives on TV call each other ‘wifey’.”

Yu Luo looked up, a hint of surprise appearing in her expression.

Qi Song averted her gaze as if fleeing, only to hear the woman beside her say with a smile in her clear, cool voice, “Alright, wifey.”

Qi Song: “…”

Yu Luo gazed at her side profile and, after waiting patiently for a moment, tilted her head slightly and asked, “Why aren’t you calling me that?”

It’s just deciding on a form of address, not exchanging rings. Does it have to be such a back-and-forth?

Thinking this, Qi Song subconsciously turned back to look at Yu Luo.

The Omega’s eyes were as dark as ink, and at this moment, they held an irrepressible anticipation, even nervousness, as bright and pure as a child hoping for a long-awaited gift.

Pure.

Qi Song’s heart skipped a beat. How could she think that a scumbag woman who was guilty of making someone wear a green hat had such a quality?

She suppressed the sense of conflict in her heart and, instead of fulfilling Yu Luo’s wish, said, “I’ll cooperate on the show.”

“On the show?”

Yu Luo shook her head at her. “The person in charge of the variety show will be here soon with the contract for you to sign. This is our first act of cooperation—we can’t let her think we’re not close.”

“So, Qi Song.” Yu Luo’s expression turned serious. “The rehearsal for the variety show starts now. You’ll perform well, right?”

Qi Song pressed her lips together, looking at her.

“Mm.” She had signed the agreement, so she should.

To what extent should I perform? Qi Song was still pondering this when she saw Yu Luo get up from the sofa and walk over to her.

She held out her uninjured hand. “The person in charge is almost here. Let’s go put on some makeup.”

Yu Luo’s voice was very soft, just like yesterday when Qi Song had broken out in a cold sweat from a headache in front of the police, and she had said 「Don’t be afraid, relax」.

Qi Song looked at that slender, fair hand, hesitating slightly.

A few seconds later, she took it and stood up.

The touch was excessively soft and carried a slight coolness. The coolness quietly seeped into her body, stirring a tremor that even the body’s owner could hardly detect.

That hand was not well-behaved in her palm; it moved nimbly and then firmly interlocked their fingers.

Qi Song’s brow furrowed. Her hand struggled subconsciously, and just as she was about to speak, she saw the Omega in front of her draw close, leaning against her shoulder as if boneless, a faint fragrance wafting over.

The woman looked up slightly at her cool side profile, her breath spraying against Qi Song’s ear as she spoke, stirring a scorching itch:

“Don’t tell me you were already in character just now.”

Qi Song’s heart skipped a beat, and the struggling of her hand also stopped abruptly.

This sentence was the height of provocation—

Meaning: Is your standard of acting 「loving」 so poor that you can’t even stop yourself from pulling away from having your fingers interlocked?

Qi Song knew she really shouldn’t. Due to Yu Luo’s betrayal, her favorability towards the woman before her was too low, so struggling was instinctual.

But to bring reality into a performance and be affected by the resulting emotions is unprofessional.

After a moment of silence, the Omega released her intertwined hand, then raised it again, her soft, white fingertips lightly touching the ends of her hair, tracing a path upward along the strands.

Slowly, accompanied by the sound of their slightly-too-close breathing.

“Prove to me that you’re worth this one hundred million… alright?”

Yu Luo was an outstanding actress, so she knew very well how to lead someone into a role.

At the same time, she was also a clever collaborator, so she knew very well how to use goading.

Amidst the woman’s bewitching sigh, Qi Song’s feeling for the performance gradually fell into place, and her furrowed brow slowly relaxed.

She lowered her head slightly, and so that hand finally came to rest atop her head.

As if being tamed.

Qi Song sighed lightly in her heart, finally setting aside all personal feelings and throwing herself completely into this act.

She was a few centimeters taller than Yu Luo, so the act of bowing her head to let the other person stroke her hair seemed exceptionally docile.

Yu Luo stroked her hair twice before withdrawing her hand. As it naturally fell alongside Qi Song’s arm, just as it was about to brush against her hand, it was grabbed and held tight.

She raised her eyebrows in slight surprise.

Qi Song had never been in a relationship, but she was a professional when it came to acting.

Since she was already mentally prepared, she couldn’t possibly let Yu Luo take the lead on everything.

A smile surfaced on that bright and beautiful face. When her deep eyes focused on someone, they held a deep affection as if she had loved them for eight lifetimes¹. “Aren’t we going to do our makeup? We’re running out of time…”

“Wifey.”

She murmured those two words softly, and without waiting for Yu Luo’s response, led her towards the room.

Yu Luo followed behind her, her gaze falling on their clasped hands, her eyes as gentle as water.

In this act, someone would, in all likelihood, eventually get in too deep.

The variety show’s person in charge, Xu Ran², arrived right on time.

This parent-child variety show had a huge investment, and each artist invited was more buzzworthy than the last.

There was the top-tier idol³ Alpha who was recently exposed to be married with a child, causing fans to weep and curse as he went from explosive popularity to being black-red⁴; there was the A-list starlet Omega who married a rich woman from a top-tier wealthy family and had a daughter, mocked by the entire internet for “gaining prestige through her daughter⁵“; and there was the newly-crowned Best Actor Alpha who had just won an award and had been building up his 「family man」 persona for five years.

And there was even Yu Luo, an actress who stood at the pinnacle of the domestic entertainment industry’s film world, with a level of national recognition that left others in the dust⁶. Although she had been in semi-retirement for the past two years, 「as long as the face is there, the empire remains⁷」, and her die-hard fan traffic was still astonishing.

The production team’s ambition for popularity, one can see a spot and know the whole leopard⁸.

At this moment, Xu Ran saw that flower on a high peak⁹, who had always been free of scandals and seemed unpluckable, smiling at Qi Song, overflowing with tender affection.

And Qi Song, too, was looking down at her with a slight smile, raising a hand to meticulously tuck a strand of hair from her temple behind her ear.

They couldn’t possibly be more loving.

Xu Ran finished discussing the contract with Qi Song, and it was signed.

Anyone who had been in the industry for a while knew of Qi Song and lamented the fall of this once-dazzling pearl.

At this moment, Xu Ran didn’t see any of the gloom and silence of someone cruelly toyed with by fate in this TV Queen, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

But since Teacher Yu and she are such a sweet couple, why didn’t she lend her a hand?

Xu Ran suppressed the intense curiosity in her heart and said before leaving, “Just a reminder for you two teachers, the production team will send a car to pick you up for the airport at two in the afternoon tomorrow. The recording will begin the moment you get in the car.”

Yu Luo smiled and nodded at her. “Thank you, we know.”

Xu Ran was slightly stunned by that smile.

The cool and dignified feeling in Teacher Yu’s temperament was integrated into her every move as if she were born with it. Even though she was smiling, she couldn’t hide her sense of distance.

But when she was with Qi Song, that feeling seemed to disappear completely.

All that remained was a gentleness like fine snow melting into flowing water.

Xu Ran could already imagine the shock of Yu Luo’s fans when they watched the variety show.

The buzz was already within reach. Xu Ran happily said goodbye to the couple.

After seeing Xu Ran off, Yu Luo turned around and was taken aback to see Qi Song’s no-longer-smiling face.

She knew Qi Song had broken character. And so, the smile on her lips faded as well.

“Are you satisfied?” Qi Song raised an eyebrow at her lightly. “With the performance just now.”

Yu Luo gazed at her without speaking.

After a moment, she parted her lips, her tone difficult to decipher, “Satisfied, but there should still be room for improvement.”

Qi Song felt that her performance just now had been sufficiently loving and flawless. She asked, unconvinced, “For instance?”

Yu Luo didn’t answer, only walked slowly towards her.

Under Qi Song’s puzzled gaze, she got closer and closer. Then, she stood on her tiptoes.

Qi Song only felt a faint fragrance wash over her as her cheek felt a moment of soft warmth.

“You!”

Yu Luo gazed at Qi Song’s visibly reddening earlobes, a trace of a smile flashing in her eyes.

She crossed her arms at her leisure. “You see? The innocence a mother of a three-year-old shouldn’t have.”

“The recording starts tomorrow afternoon.” She thoughtfully gave a suggestion, “I think you need some cram training in this area.”

The author has something to say:

I’ve seen some questions from you little cuties, but I can’t give any spoilers. However, I guarantee that the two main characters are absolutely 1V1 in body and heart (I understand everyone’s need for emotional fidelity, because I have it too). Many of the descriptive details right now are foreshadowing, you’ll all understand later-
