My Superstar Wife Is So Popular-Chapter 338 - 336: "The Hero Saves the Beauty

Wen Qiao listened to Qi Ming’s chunibyo declarations and laughed. Stepping back a few paces, she leaned against the wall and casually surveyed the room to guard against any sudden appearances of staff members looking for trouble.

As her gaze drifted lower, she spotted something. Focusing her eyes, she found herself making direct eye contact with half a face peeking out from a secret compartment beneath the arcade machine.

"....."

This sudden sight indeed startled Wen Qiao, but she quickly regained her composure.

She thought to herself that the production team couldn’t be so kindly disposed, letting them pass with just five consecutive wins; they must have been lying in wait.

The staff member hiding in the compartment was also scared by Wen Qiao’s glance. In his agitation, he bumped his head against the bottom of the arcade machine above him.

There was a "Duang" sound.

Qi Ming, still engrossed in the game and oblivious to the impending danger, heard the noise and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wen Qiao replied indifferently, "Nothing, just standing."

Standing to see how you’ll be scared in a moment.

After speaking, she turned her head to the side and waved her hand, pretending not to see the staff member.

The staff member, upon seeing this, inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

When Director Li had ordered them to ramp up the horror, Wen Qiao hadn’t shown her fierce side yet. Having just witnessed his colleague’s despondent departure, he felt somewhat at a loss when facing Wen Qiao.

He even exhaled briskly and sniffed to make sure his breath didn’t smell odd.

But now, seeing Wen Qiao’s "look but don’t see" demeanor, he caught on quickly.

He reached out with a probing claw and, seeing that Wen Qiao indeed had no reaction whatsoever, grabbed hold of Qi Ming’s ankle.

Qi Ming, slightly annoyed, said, "Wen Qiao, what are you doing? Don’t think that just because you played the hero and saved the beauty earlier, you can do whatever you want with me—"

"I didn’t touch you," Wen Qiao interrupted his narcissistic speech. "Look down at your feet."

Qi Ming paused, looked down following her direction, and locked eyes with a pale face with patches of green. The eyes, adorned with circle lenses, were all white at the moment. Moreover, the ghost even smiled at him in a friendly manner.

Although he didn’t feel any friendliness coming from that face.

Wen Qiao figured it was about time and raised her hand to cover her ears.

"Ah——"

[Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.]

[Wen Qiao really has foresight, covering her own ears.]

[Hero saving the beauty? Who’s the hero, who’s the beauty? I’m confused.]

[Qi Ming: Mom, I want to go home!]

[Could this be the legendary Prediction Technique?] freeweɓnovel-cøm

[Wen Qiao: Hey, I knew someone was going to ambush you, but I just didn’t say anything.]

Not only the live-streaming audience but even the production team behind the monitors couldn’t help but chuckle.

Qi Ming could no longer focus on the game. He braced his hands on the arcade machine for leverage, frantically flailing his legs, trying to shake off those devilish claws.

But no matter what, the persistent claws just wouldn’t let go.

Wen Qiao, as if she had watched enough of the drama or couldn’t stand Qi Ming’s wailing anymore, cleared her ears and stepped forward.

"Shut up, stop screaming," Wen Qiao said with an undertone of unbearable disdain. "It’s embarrassing for a grown man to cry and howl because of a fake ghost."

Qi Ming, howling midway, still found time to retort to Wen Qiao, "It’s not embarrassing."

"......."

If it weren’t for the sake of sparing her own ears from further torment, Wen Qiao really didn’t want to bother with him any longer.
