Chapter 179 Wanting to Quit the Show

After changing her clothes, Su Wanting went downstairs first.

The cameraman started filming, but the program had not officially begun yet. Su Wanting walked into the kitchen, retrieved her own portion of breakfast, and brought it out. A few people were already gathered around the table in twos and threes.

Yin Shanshan was sitting at the table, her expression inexplicably gloomy. However, she often looked like that, so Su Wanting paid her no mind.

Yu Xin had not appeared yet. Su Wanting glanced around, but did not see the figures of her two children, Suisui and Niannian. She could not help asking with a hint of strangeness, "How strange, where have the children gone this early in the morning? How come I don't see Suisui and Niannian?"

[Just started filming, I don't know either.]

[I didn't see the two kids in anyone else's live stream earlier. Could they have gotten lost?]

Seeing the barrage of comments, Su Wanting smiled and sat down to eat her breakfast.

"They won't get lost. Besides, this is an island, surrounded by the sea on all sides. Where could the children possibly go?"

[Isn't she way too laid-back as a mother?]

[She doesn't even care about her own children. Su Wanting's heart is truly huge.]

[Exactly! If President Qin finds out she is acting like this, he will definitely be furious!]

Right at that moment, Qin Jingchen also came downstairs. The first thing he did was not go to the kitchen to get breakfast, but rather walk straight over to Su Wanting's side.

Su Wanting casually asked him, "Did you see the children? Why are they nowhere to be seen early in the morning?"

Qin Jingchen stared at the cilantro that had been picked out and left on the edge of Su Wanting's plate, his tone sounding distracted: "This is an island, they can't get lost. Don't you like eating cilantro?"

[Are those hater comments from earlier getting slapped in the face now?]

[These two are truly a couple, fittingly matched.]

[They are both so carefree, no wonder they ended up together.]

[As expected, the parents are true love, while the kids are just accidents.]

[Suisui and Niannian: Guess I'll just walk away!]

"It's not that. I do like cilantro, but I don't like cooked cilantro. This one must have been cooked; I don't like the taste."

Su Wanting was sometimes exceptionally particular about food. It was only after saying this that she realized, given Qin Jingchen's personality, he would probably find her troublesome. Subconsciously turning her head to look, she found that Qin Jingchen was still smiling, his face gentle with not a trace of impatience.

"You—"

Just as Su Wanting intended to say something, Yin Shanshan opposite them suddenly slammed her chopsticks down heavily, creating a loud crash on the table, and then stood up to leave.

The chair scraped harshly against the floor, and immediately after, Yin Shanshan turned away in a huff. Even her back revealed just how angry she was at that moment.

Su Wanting was stunned, completely forgetting what she had wanted to say. At this point, Yu Xin and the others also appeared in the small courtyard, looking equally bewildered by the scene.

"What is going on here? Early in the morning, who pissed off our goddess?"

Yu Xin approached Su Wanting first, took a look at her half-eaten breakfast, and asked aloud.

"I don't know. She didn't say anything when I came over just now."

Su Wanting answered this way on the surface, but inwardly she felt it was strange. Yin Shanshan had always been very mindful of her image. Even if she was driven half to death with anger by Su Wanting during the program, she would still try hard to maintain a polite smile, and rarely put on a sullen face toward others.

What on earth happened early this morning that could make her so angry as to slam her chopsticks and walk away?

Su Wanting tried to recall carefully. When she came downstairs, she saw Yin Shanshan chatting and laughing with Tian Boyu nearby, and nothing seemed to be wrong. Yet in the short few minutes since she walked into the kitchen and came back out, Yin Shanshan's expression had turned icy.

"Tian Boyu, do you know what's wrong with her?"

Tian Boyu shook his head, looking somewhat nervous. He picked up his own chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.

"I don't know."

Su Wanting's doubts grew even deeper, and she exchanged a glance with Yu Xin.

The live-streaming camera was right beside them, so none of them continued the topic. The rest of this breakfast was eaten in a somewhat gloomy atmosphere, and Yin Shanshan never returned.

[What is happening? It's so early.]

[I went to ask on Yin Shanshan's studio's official microblog, but there's no reply yet.]

[Could she have been bullied by someone?]

[Why did she suddenly get angry? She was clearly fine just a moment ago.]

[What on earth is going on? Can someone come out and explain?]

[The live stream on Yin Shanshan's side is still going. She's alone in her room, and I don't know what she's doing.]

[I'm so excited, is it finally going to blow up?]

After breakfast, the director also delayed in appearing to announce the subsequent activity schedule, leaving everyone to enter the first-floor living room with blank expressions.

At that very moment, fierce arguing noises began to emanate from Yin Shanshan's room nearby.

"This is the arrangement of the program, please cooperate!"

"Then I cannot do it, Director. If you insist on doing it this way, then I—"

The people in the living room looked at each other in dismay. The voices sounded like Wang Zan and Yin Shanshan, and their tones were fierce, as if they were arguing over something.

The accompanying cameramen for everyone had not left, and the live stream was still ongoing, but Yin Shanshan's cameraman was also outside the house and was unaware of the situation inside.

"It sounds like the director. Is everything alright?"

Yu Xin spoke up first. The people around her remained silent, especially Fang Wei.

Su Wanting looked at her first. As the person with the closest relationship to Yin Shanshan, Fang Wei merely lowered her head and remained silently sitting to the side without chiming in.

Su Wanting's brows knitted tighter and tighter, feeling for some reason that this situation looked rather strange.

Even though Fang Wei was usually taciturn, with such a major incident happening to Yin Shanshan, it stood to reason that she shouldn't say a single word.

The atmosphere at the scene was bizarre and silent. Aside from Yu Xin, Feng Rui simply wore a look of watching a good show, which seemed relatively normal.

Tian Boyu had been standing to the side with his brows slightly knitted, seeming somewhat resistant to this kind of scene, but the strange thing was that Su Wanting could not see a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Or rather, apart from herself, Su Wanting did not see a single look of surprise or strangeness on anyone else's face present, as if they had known this situation would occur beforehand.

Why was that?

A gut feeling in her heart told Su Wanting that everything today was abnormal.

"What is wrong with them?"

After mulling it over and over, Su Wanting decided to consult the only relatively calm and normal person present, so she turned her head to look at Qin Jingchen.

Little did she know that at this very moment, Yin Shanshan and Wang Zan, who were fiercely arguing inside the room, were extremely nervous. Standing near the door, they deliberately raised their voices, panting heavily from exhaustion as they argued.

In the middle of the argument, they would even pause to converse in whispers.

"Why is there no movement?"

This question was asked by Yin Shanshan. Upon hearing it, Wang Zan shrugged and spread both hands, wearing an expression indicating he had no idea either.

So Yin Shanshan took a deep breath and shouted the most solemn line of all: "If you all insist on doing it this way, then I can only withdraw from the program's filming! Let's just end it here for today!"
