"My baby is trying to save me money, that won't do, I can't afford it." Qin Shou lowered his head and pecked Lu Mengyao with a kiss, "I'll definitely give the baby the best."

"Little brother, stop showing off your wealth, okay?" Lu Mengyao said with a grin, gently punching Qin Shou's shoulder. "Be serious and train properly."

"Younger brother?" Qin Shou tightened his grip, not quite satisfied with the address.

Lu Mengyao understood and whispered sweetly in Qin Shou's ear, "Honey~ Let's practice dancing."

Qin Shou's lips curled up; he was truly satisfied and felt very pleased.

He raised his hand and ruffled Lu Mengyao's hair, saying, "With the baby by my side, I don't feel tired from training."

"But this is going to be exhausting for me. I want to train with a training maniac like you." Lu Mengyao stuck out her tongue.

Qin Shou leaned down, smiling, and asked, "So you're unwilling?"

Lu Mengyao smiled shyly: "How could that be? I'd love to, I'd love to! I even feel honored~ But when we get back, you have to massage my legs and shoulders as compensation."

"Shall I bring you some water to wash your feet and wash them for you?"

"Hehe, that's great!"

"Okay, baby, try your best to step on my feet less often."

"Ah, you complain that I stepped on your foot? Come here, I want to step on it~" she said coquettishly, making a fuss about stepping on Qin Shou's foot.

Qin Shou laughed and stepped back, avoiding her. Seeing her pouting and frustrated expression, he happily stretched out his foot and said to her, "Come on, step on me as many times as you like."

"I was just kidding you. This is a limited edition AJ shoe, it costs hundreds of thousands a pair!" Lu Mengyao glanced at him.

"Shoes can be bought again if they get dirty, but I only have one child. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub," Qin Shou said frankly.

Lu Mengyao chuckled, her face beaming with joy: "What you said really made me happy."

Qin Shou smiled broadly, then she suddenly realized something was wrong and pointed at him, saying, "Wait, you're saying I'm a wolf, right? I'm so cute, how could I be a wolf? You're the big bad wolf!"

"That's right, I'm the Big Bad Wolf, and you're Little Red Riding Hood. The Big Bad Wolf will eat Little Red Riding Hood's grandma at night~" Qin Shou hinted with a smile.

Lu Mengyao's face flushed instantly. She used to be clueless, but after Qin Shou took advantage of her, she suddenly understood everything.

"Ah! You...you're so dirty!" Lu Mengyao chased after Qin Shou and patted his back.

Qin Shou smiled and moved forward, but didn't dodge, because she hadn't actually used any poison; her pats were light and effortless.

Most importantly, Qin Shou felt that being with the person he liked was really comfortable, and there were no worries at all.

However, after things went smoothly, Qin Shou discovered that new problems were coming one after another.

I initially thought Xia Wan Ning was just in a bad mood and wouldn't train that day.

However, Xia Wanning still didn't show up for the next two days. According to Director Xu, Xia Wanning had been temporarily filling in for him on the red carpet and didn't have time at the moment.

With less than two days left until the competition, the atmosphere at Lu Mengyao's place became exceptionally serious and tense.

The other training rooms are all cramming for training, especially since Qin Shou's performance was so outstanding that it put pressure on the others, resulting in them training all night for the past few days, and their level is obviously much better than before.

"The current situation is very unfavorable for us. I've been training with you for the past two days. Of course, it's fine if it's just me training with you, but I'm not qualified to go on stage. This is related to whether you can break through to the next competition, and I can't take the risk." Lu Mengyao began to analyze the disadvantages for Qin Shou.

Qin Shou frowned.

Although he really wanted his wife as his partner, she was right; if he wanted to compete, he had to find a professional.

Based on Lu Mengyao's skill level, she hasn't reached the level of a master yet, after all, she's not a particularly gifted player.

"Let's check on Xia Wanling's situation. She should be here today, right?" Lu Mengyao felt that the problem now was that without Xia Wanling's appearance, even the afternoon rehearsal couldn't be completed.

The other contestants already had good chemistry with their female partners, but Qin Shou and Xia Wan Ning had only trained for a day and a half. If Xia Wan Ning didn't show up soon, they would fall far behind the other contestants.

Just then, the production crew arrived with bad news.

"Xia Wanning has withdrawn from the competition and will not be participating."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Qin Shou felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He knew Xia Wan Ning was angry, but he didn't expect her to be so willful.

It's like they're standing him up; they'd rather offend the production team than let him down.

If he doesn't have a female partner, who will he choose, and how will he get on stage?

If he can't get on stage, it's equivalent to him losing; he can't even get close to the finals.

Lu Mengyao was completely stunned when she heard the news.

She never expected Xia Wanning to give up.

If Xia Wan Ning doesn't come, it's tantamount to forcing Qin Shou to give up.

A sudden surge of anger welled up inside Lu Mengyao, and she immediately dialed Director Xu's number, coldly ordering, "Xu, let Xia Wanning answer the phone."

Director Xu sneered, "I'm your boss, and this is your attitude? Wan Ning is unwell. She got a stye after walking the red carpet and couldn't go on stage. It wasn't intentional. Why are you yelling at us like that? Did you skip nine years of compulsory education?"

"Whether it was intentional or not, you know in your heart. It's hard for you to give Xia Wan Ning so many excuses. If she can't play the game, then she can just wait to be eliminated! This time she gave up, so I'll make her give up completely!" Lu Mengyao said fiercely.

"Pfft, Lu Mengyao, you've got quite the nerve. I know you're a nouveau riche, with some money from your family's land expropriation, but there are plenty of people in this industry who are richer than you. You just haven't been taught a lesson by reality. I can teach you properly!" Director Xu said disdainfully.

She believed that Lu Mengyao only had confidence because of Qin Shou.

However, things change very quickly in this industry. This show may be popular, but after a while, when the show ends, will Qin Shou still be popular?

Of course, at this pace, Qin Shou won't even make it to the next episode, let alone maintain his popularity.

Many people who were once famous throughout the entertainment industry eventually disappeared without a trace.

It's hard to say what will happen. Qin Shou is still somewhat popular, so Lu Mengyao can still act arrogantly. But if Qin Shou loses his popularity, what will Lu Mengyao rely on?

Director Xu was waiting for Lu Mengyao and Qin Shou to grovel before him.

The more arrogant and domineering Lu Mengyao is now, the more she will cry and beg for mercy later.

"Just wait and see if I can do it, as long as you don't regret it!" Lu Mengyao's face was as cold as ice.

"Originally, our Wan Ning was chosen by Director Ning to become a Ning Girl and star in a blockbuster. She would have immediately achieved fame and success, and even took time out of her busy schedule to come and support him. It was Qin Shou who failed to seize the opportunity. Now he's being too aggressive, which is going too far." Director Xu clicked his tongue.

She was incredibly picky, yet she put on an arrogant air, as if she were pitying Lu Mengyao: "How about this? We're fellow disciples after all. If you say something nice and beg me to be lenient, I might be willing to let Wan Ning come to the rescue."
