CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 403: TRUST ME

As soon as the staff member had finished speaking, Fu Jinghen walked resolutely toward the person who was standing on the far right and, without hesitation, took the woman’s hand.

The staff member asked him the same question as Shen Zai.

Fu Jinghen seemed to have the answer ready. "To be symmetrical with Shen Zai."

It was then that everyone noticed that the female guest chosen by Shen Zai was at the very left end of the line, while Fu Jinghen and his chosen partner stood at the right end.

Fu Jinghen and Shen Zai were about the same height, and indeed, they looked quite symmetrical.

The staff member paused slightly, seemingly at a loss for what to say next, then quickly moved on to the next contestant.

While everyone’s attention shifted to the next male guest, the two at the very end were up to some subtle actions.

A ticklish sensation came from his palm. Fu Jinghen smiled knowingly, tightened his hand, and gently squeezed Wen Qiao’s small hand.

Receiving a response, Wen Qiao, hidden behind a veil, couldn’t help but smile broadly.

Two hours before the live broadcast, Wen Qiao had been taken by the staff from the hotel to the recording site where a professional makeup artist was waiting to apply makeup and style her individually.

She had already guessed the intentions of the production team.

After changing clothes and covering her head with a veil, standing alongside the other female guests, the intentions of the production team became very obvious.

At first, she worried that Fu Jinghen might not choose her, her heart hanging in suspense, imagining countless scenarios if Fu Jinghen chose someone else and how she could subtly switch teams.

She even thought about giving Fu Jinghen some secret signals or hints to prevent him from choosing the wrong person.

Unexpectedly, he had accurately chosen her without any mistakes.

Her heart finally settled down.

Just then, a breeze blew by, lifting a corner of Wen Qiao’s veil. She turned her head to dodge it when her eyes met Fu Jinghen’s.

She saw him move his lips, silently mouthing two words —

"Trust me."

A smile instantly spread across Wen Qiao’s eyes. She slowly nodded, pulled the veil back down, and covered her face again.

Three male guests and three female guests remained. Fang Baichen chose the female guest next to Shen Zai, Qi Ming ran over to Fu Jinghen’s side, and Shi Koufan, who had been indecisive, was left with only the middle woman to choose.

The staff member asked the customary question, "Why did you choose the female guest next to you as today’s partner?"

Fang Baichen said, "As a married man, choosing anyone would spell trouble. I might as well follow Shen Zai and choose the one next to him — save time and effort."

Shen Zai nodded with understanding. "Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything to your sister-in-law after the broadcast. It’s all for the show."

Qi Ming’s answer was simpler, directly copying Fu Jinghen’s reasoning but making sure to change the name, "To be symmetrical with Mr. Fang."

Shi Koufan: "They all made their choices, leaving me the last one. Did I even have another choice?"

After saying this, he realized something was off and nervously explained to the female guest next to him, "Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you’re not good. I just have decision-making anxiety."

The female guest’s veil fluttered slightly, presumably nodding in response to him.

[With these guys, the production team must be speechless by now, expecting some profound words, but they are all so casual haha.]

[Ten Mouthfuls might as well stick "You’re great, please don’t misunderstand me" on himself.]
