CHAPTER 29: CHAPTER 29: THE RETURN JOURNEY

The group bought their things and put them in the car, pedaled back to the cabin with a tricycle, and started packing.

Just when they were almost done, Yang Leqi suddenly dropped her clothes and sat on the ground unceremoniously, looking at Qin Yun, who was also packing, with expectant eyes, "Sister Yun, you have to miss me when you go back. If you miss me, I’ll fly over to see you."

Qin Yun couldn’t help but laugh, "It’s just two or three days, and we’ll be recording the next episode soon."

"I don’t care, why don’t I go back with you, and then have my assistant bring my luggage over?" Yang Leqi moved over and sat next to Qin Yun’s feet, holding her leg and looking up at her, playing the victim confidently.

"Be good, I’ll video call you then." Qin Yun sighed, put down her clothes, and coaxed her.

Yang Leqi stayed still, still looking at her expectantly.

"Every day," Qin Yun added.

"Remember you said that," Yang Leqi finally released her hold, satisfied.

Since they were leaving, they brought the suitcase back, and the once scarce things suddenly became plentiful.

Due to the arrangement of the program team, except for the first day when agents and assistants were allowed to adapt, they weren’t allowed to follow until the show was finished recording, when they all came to pick up their artists.

The two dragged their luggage downstairs, Qin Hao and Wang Sirui were already down, sitting in the living room.

"Why didn’t you call us, we could have helped with the luggage." Wang Sirui couldn’t help but say as he saw the two dragging their luggage over.

"How about you take it upstairs and bring it down again?" Qin Yun joked.

"We waited for a long time for no one to come, so we came down ourselves." They replied almost simultaneously, one after the other.

The two then exchanged a glance and laughed.

"You two really have some tacit understanding," Wang Sirui said helplessly.

"Since everyone is ready, let’s go," Chen Yao also came down quickly and said when he saw everyone was there.

"Let’s take a group photo as a memento." Yang Leqi’s usual cheerful voice had a hint of sadness.

"Director, can you take a picture for us?"

Everyone nodded and spontaneously found their spots to stand. Yang Leqi practically hung on Qin Yun, smiling and flashing a peace sign.

Qin Yun instinctively wanted to move but paused as if she remembered something.

Soon, the director said, "Okay."

"Send it to us later," Yang Leqi said.

As they were about to leave, aside from Qin Hao’s somewhat unhappy face, Wang Sirui and Chen Yao also showed a bit of reluctance.

No matter what, they had spent a few days together, and some feelings had developed.

"Let’s go," Chen Yao took the lead, pulling his suitcase and walking out.

The agents and assistants instinctively took over their artists’ luggage, but only Yuanyuan came to help Qin Yun carry hers, while the agent went directly to Qin Hao.

They hadn’t even left yet, but seeing this, Yang Leqi, who was close to Qin Yun, became a little upset and immediately extended an invitation: "Sister Yun, why don’t you come back with me?"

"Little ancestor, this is not something we can meddle with, even if you interfere this time. As long as her contract is still with the company, many things are unavoidable." Her agent, worried about her doing something, immediately advised softly.

"No need, I still have something to do." Qin Yun didn’t mind those things, or rather, it was because this agent was about to no longer be her agent, so she didn’t care.

Just now, Pei Yan sent her a message saying they had the evidence. If she wanted, she could terminate the contract at any time.

"Then let’s sign her to our company!" Yang Leqi pouted unhappily.

"We’ll discuss this slowly when we get back." The agent could only try to placate her with a wry smile.

Sister Li, Qin Yun’s agent, heard Yang Leqi’s voice, looked over, and just saw the renowned manager Sister Wang talking to Yang Leqi. With her involved, Sister Li was more certain about Yang Leqi’s identity.

It was only yesterday that she found out Yang Leqi was actually the daughter of the CEO of Hengtian Group, a bona fide second-generation rich and star, and Hengtian Entertainment under her name was created just for this little princess. As soon as this company started, it attracted a ton of top-tier celebrities, which showed its power.

"Did you interact with Yang Leqi? Can you create a CP?" Agent Sister Li quietly asked Qin Hao.

Qin Hao immediately felt a bit stuffed, let alone interacting; throughout the filming, his presence was minimal. He was supposed to rely on Qin Yun, but the other party completely ignored him.

"I would like to, but every time I try to talk to her, she goes looking for Qin Yun. The whole episode passed, and I barely exchanged any words with her! Didn’t you say Qin Yun would help me? She didn’t care about me at all." The more Qin Hao spoke, the angrier he got.

Agent Sister Li looked at him with a complicated expression; she initially thought he had potential, only to find he couldn’t even strike up a conversation despite being on the same show.

Unaware of his agent’s thoughts, Qin Hao continued venting about his frustrating experience filming the show.

"Enough."

The agent directly interrupted him impatiently and walked over to Qin Yun, "Qin Yun."

Qin Yun was about to leave, but hearing the voice, she stopped and looked at her in confusion, "What’s the matter?"

The agent choked for a moment and then awkwardly said, "I just wanted to ask if you’re tired from recording the past few days."

Yang Leqi’s agent, Sister Wang, who was famous in the industry, saw Qin Yun’s agent come over and casually remarked, "Agent Li, sometimes as an agent, you shouldn’t be too biased, don’t you think?"

After all, their little princess had spoken.

"Yes, yes, you’re right. Thank you for the reminder." Sister Li didn’t expect Yang Leqi’s agent to speak to her, responded flusteredly.

After all, in the industry, the hierarchy amongst agents is quite distinct, and such a bigwig generally wouldn’t offer advice.

"It’s not a reminder, just a casual chat. You all be busy." Saying that, she gave Qin Yun a slight nod and led Yang Leqi away.

Qin Yun smiled at Yang Leqi and nodded slightly.

Agent Sister Li vaguely started to get it, glanced at Qin Yun beside her, and her eyes flickered.

In the car on the way back, Agent Sister Li lowered her voice and asked, "Are you close with Yang Leqi?"

"Not really," Qin Yun replied without looking up.

She was typing a message.

It was Pei Yan asking if she had finished recording the variety show.

Because Little C reminded him, there wasn’t much time left.

She also learned that the hospital Pei Yan was in got exposed by the media, and fans crowded the hospital, forcing him to leave early and go back home.

Actually, as long as Qin Yun was there to keep Pei Yan’s life going, he was just wasting medical resources at the hospital.

It’s just Mr. Pei worried about his health, so he insisted that he stay a few more days.

Qin Yun: [Finished recording, in the car now, heading back to A City to deal with the contract termination.]

"Didn’t she just invite you to ride in their car? How can you say you’re not that close?" The agent said, a bit displeased.
