Yan Qingchi wasn't surprised by this call at all. In fact, he had expected it. He leaned back in his chair and answered the call calmly, "Hello."
As expected, Jiang Mochen's next sentence confirmed his suspicions. "Guan Mei said that Yuan Mingxu wants to appear on your variety show. Did you agree?"
"Yeah," Yan Qingchi replied.
Jiang Mochen didn't quite understand. He sat on the sofa and tried hard to organize his words in an attempt to express his thoughts clearly. "Qingchi, I'm not speaking up for him, nor am I disagreeing with or supporting your decision. I just don't understand. I'm no longer in contact with him. We won't have any interactions with him in the future. Why are you willing to agree to appear on the same stage as him? To see him? I'm not blaming you. I just don't know what you're thinking. Do you think that this variety show is your job and that you've just joined, so you're not willing to negotiate with the production team for his sake? Or did you agree because you really want to see him? Can you tell me what you think? "
His tone was very gentle. Yan Qingchi could hear that he was trying hard to express that he didn't want Yan Qingchi to misunderstand him.
He chuckled softly and said slowly, "Jiang Mochen, you don't have to be so nervous. I didn't misunderstand, and I don't mind. I know you're not doing this for him. Even if you didn't call me, I would have waited until tonight to talk to you about this when we were free. We agreed that I wouldn't let you hear about me from anyone else. I remember. "
Jiang Mochen couldn't help but relax when he heard this. "So, why are you doing this?"
Yan Qingchi thought for a moment. "How should I put it? It's partly because of what you said. This variety show is my job and I've just taken over. It doesn't make sense for me to negotiate with the production team for his sake. Moreover, the industry is only so big. If I avoid him this time, do I have to go around him every time I do something in the future? Wouldn't that make it seem like I'm afraid of him? To put it bluntly, he doesn't have the right to do so. "
Jiang Mochen listened without saying anything.
Yan Qingchi continued, "Moreover, if he's doing this for the popularity of the variety show, it won't matter even if we're on the same stage. If he's doing this for me, he'll definitely find another way to meet me even if I reject him with the conditions I've proposed to the production team." So, if it's mine, I can't avoid it. If it's not mine, I don't have to worry about it. Why should I raise conditions with the production team for him and waste my energy? "
Jiang Mochen was silent for a while before he sighed. "Do you feel unhappy?"
"Not really. I just feel that it's a little troublesome."
"If you're afraid of trouble, I can ask him not to participate in this recording."
"Even if you don't go this time, you will encounter it in the future. Although this analogy is not very pleasant, you have to remove the gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe. You can't wait for it to fall off by itself, right?"
"There's nothing unpleasant about it," Jiang Mochen said. "If you're embarrassing yourself, you can't blame others for saying unpleasant things."
Yan Qingchi smiled without saying anything.
Jiang Mochen held his phone and felt a little annoyed. He really didn't expect that Yuan Mingxu would participate in Yan Qingchi's variety show. There were so many variety shows in the country, and "Let's Fight!" was not the only popular variety show. Yuan Mingxu's intention for choosing this variety show was simply too obvious. Of course, he knew that Yan Qingchi wouldn't be afraid of Yuan Mingxu. He also knew that Yuan Mingxu might not be able to win against Yan Qingchi. However, he was still worried. Even if his rationality told him that Yan Qingchi was never someone who would let himself suffer, he still didn't want Yan Qingchi to face Yuan Mingxu alone. He hoped that at this time, he could stand in front of him.
Jiang Mochen couldn't tell what he was feeling right now. It was just like he didn't know when he started to not want them to meet. When he first got married, Jiang Mochen had thought that when Yuan Mingxu came back, he would bring Yan Qingchi to their gathering and introduce him to his friends and Yuan Mingxu. At that time, he was clearly still willing to let Yan Qingchi meet Yuan Mingxu.
But later, slowly, he didn't know when it started, but he subconsciously started to avoid Yan Qingchi meeting Yuan Mingxu. So when Yuan Mingxu asked to meet him, he didn't tell Yan Qingchi. Today, when he heard Guan Mei say that Yuan Mingxu was going to film Yan Qingchi's variety show, he resisted and was annoyed.
He didn't want Yan Qingchi to meet Yuan Mingxu, and he didn't want Yan Qingchi to talk to Yuan Mingxu. He was afraid that Yuan Mingxu would say something unpleasant to Yan Qingchi, and he was also afraid that Yuan Mingxu would do something unpleasant. He was afraid that Yan Qingchi would be hurt because of Yuan Mingxu's behavior, and he was even more afraid that he would feel sad.
Jiang Mochen never thought that he was a person who would regret easily. Since he was a child, his parents had taught him that what you did, what you planted, what you reaped. He had a clear conscience, and nothing had happened that made him regret. But now, he regretted it. He regretted that he used to like Yuan Mingxu, and he regretted the sacrifices he made back then. He was afraid that his love and sacrifices would become a sharp blade that Yuan Mingxu used to stab Yan Qingchi. Just like how he was afraid that Yuan Mingxu would tell Yan Qingchi the truth, "You know that he used to like me."
Yan Qingchi knew, but it didn't mean that he was willing to hear it from someone else. It didn't mean that he wouldn't feel sad after hearing it.
Jiang Mochen sighed softly and said, "Qingchi, I thought about it and decided that I'll be going for the episode that Yuan Mingxu is going for."
Yan Qingchi didn't expect him to say that and was a little surprised. "What are you going to do?"
"I'm not going to do anything. I've already signed a contract with the production team for two episodes. Even if I don't go this time, I'll go in the future."
"But you don't have to come this time." Yan Qingchi felt a little troubled. "Wei Lan even said that he's going. When the time comes, the two of you can come together. I think this episode is going to be a hit. If it doesn't, it'll be a waste of your popularity."
"What's Wei Lan going to do?" Jiang Mochen was curious.
"He wants to watch the show. He wants to see the exciting moment when I meet Yuan Mingxu with his own eyes."
Jiang Mochen facepalmed. "I'll call his brother in a while and ask him to discipline his younger brother. Don't think about this nonsense all day."
Yan Qingchi laughed. "Wei Lan will probably be angered to death by you."
"If you ask me, Wei Xun is too lax with him. If he were my younger brother, I would have beaten him up a long time ago."
"You're the one who can't bear to do it. You're not like that."
Jiang Mochen didn't continue the topic of Wei Lan. He insisted on his decision to go on the show. "Anyway, I'll be there when the time comes."
"Jiang Mochen …" Yan Qingchi was about to speak when she was interrupted by Jiang Mochen. He asked, "What do I call you now? Don't you think you should learn from me? "
Yan Qingchi couldn't help but laugh. She accepted his advice. "Then, Mo Chen?"
