CHAPTER 185: CHAPTER 64: DEPARTURE, LIVE VARIETY SHOW_2

They originally intended to approach Sun Mulin, indeed aiming to find a high-profile couple to participate in the show, since ordinary couples might not be the main focus, but average people are the key.

Ordinary people don’t attract attention easily, so it’s necessary to find ones with unique identities to create buzz.

But when Sun Mulin brought up the names of that "average couple," the entire "We Are Husband and Wife" director team was stunned, feeling as if they were still living in a dream for three whole days.

Ke Lian and Du Xixi!?

Are they kidding!?

One of the three Marshals of the Empire and his wife!?

The chief director of "We Are Husband and Wife" was trembling even now. Even though he had personally sent those messages to Du Xixi and Ke Lian, and even though the two high-status protagonists were standing right in front of him, he still felt it was unreal.

"Marshal, Marshal! Ma’am! Mr. Sun!" The chief director, who plays a decisive role in the entire variety show, would usually be respectfully greeted with "Hello, chief director!" Yet facing the three, he couldn’t help but feel a rare sense of inadequacy, and unconsciously lowered his head.

Whether in appearance or aura, Du Xixi’s three companions had an unbeatable presence. Standing before ordinary civilians so casually, even with relatively gentle expressions, the chief director and the team felt they couldn’t directly face them.

Among Du Xixi’s trio, Ke Lian was aloof, Sun Mulin was playfully defiant, and the most approachable was Du Xixi, dressed in a loose long gown. Her long hair casually tied in a low ponytail, the off-white dress covered by a windbreaker concealed her large baby bump but it still prominently showed.

Du Xixi was carefully supported by Ke Lian, most of her body leaning on him to alleviate some of the pressure from her pregnancy. She smiled gently, her eyes soft like the coolest breeze at the end of summer, bringing a soothing sensation to the director and team: "Hello, chief director."

The radiant maternal love softened the noble aloofness about Du Xixi, causing the director’s initial tension and disbelief to gradually fade before her greeting smile.

He looked at Du Xixi in a daze, finding her warm and knowledgeable nature disarming, and that naturally warmed one’s heart, eliciting a bit of closeness: "Ma’am, no need to be so polite, please go in, the other two couples have not arrived yet."

Du Xixi and Ke Lian were picked up early by Sun Mulin, understanding well that arriving early is better than late, so they arrived about half an hour earlier than scheduled.

Their luggage was dealt with by the program’s robots, directly brought into the room where they’d stay for three days and two nights, without any effort needed on their part.

Welcoming Du Xixi and the group to sit on the sofa, the director’s eyes caught the glimpse of the robot only carrying a single large suitcase upstairs, which sparked more favor towards this distinguished couple.

The director team agreed that, due to their high status, the Marshal and the Marshal’s Wife must be treated well and should not experience any discomfort during the live broadcast.

Furthermore, considering that the bigger the celebrity in the entertainment industry, the more they tend to time their arrival at the last minute, the director team was prepared to greet Du Xixi and the group in the final minutes.

Unexpectedly, Du Xixi and the group not only didn’t push the time limit but also traveled light, not carrying much luggage. This added bonus points in the director’s view.

Recalling past seasons when some couples with big bags, acting as though having big celebrity friends or relatives was a big deal, the chief director increasingly felt that Du Xixi and Ke Lian were truly admirable.

As soon as they stepped into the villa, the live broadcast had begun, with many inquiring fans or spectators flooding into the broadcast room, catching sight of Du Xixi and company being personally attended to by the chief director.

The three are all remarkably good-looking people with uniquely distinct temperaments—slyly charming, coolly handsome, elegantly intellectual. Almost the moment the live show started, the comment section exploded into a flurry of activity.
