The Ex-Girlfriend of a Wealthy Young Man (23)

"You're spot-on except for one point."

The backstage host knew that a new talking point for the show was going to be revealed soon and hurriedly asked, "What point?"

"That is…" Tang Guo narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth tugged into a small smile. And that smile of hers was still as sweet as ever as she said, "I don't really like her."

Lu Qi's face stiffened.

"Tang Guo, you're expressing your thoughts so candidly. Aren't you afraid that you'll lose points with the fans? Or do you not care about the fans behind you?"

The host's words were clearly directed at Tang Guo.

When Lu Qi heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Tang Guo was really shooting herself in the foot.

Tang Guo squinted slightly and said, "My fans will understand me. They should like the real me more. If I pretend to be overly generous or gracious, then one fine day when the fact that I actually dislike Lu Qi is suddenly revealed, they'll definitely think that all this time they've been showing their love for someone who's fake.

"Since I'm going to be exposed sooner or later, I might as well express my true thoughts from the beginning," Tang Guo said, the corners of her mouth gently curling upwards into a smile. Her gaze fell on Lu Qi, which made the latter feel apprehensive. Then, she continued to say, "However, it's never occurred to me that Lu Qi actually likes me even though I've made it clear that I don't like her. From the way it sounds, she seems to like me quite a bit. I'm really kind of flattered and honored."

When the backstage host heard this, his hand that was holding the microphone started to tremble involuntarily.

This game was well-played. Now, Tang Guo had completely dragged Lu Qi down.

If Lu Qi were to express a single hint of dislike for Tang Guo in the future, everyone would think that Lu Qi was extremely fake and dishonest. If she didn't like Tang Guo, why did she have to pretend that they were perfectly agreeable with each other?

Lu Qi's face was livid with rage, and even her teeth were clenched tightly.

"I hope that, in the future, fans who listen to my songs and like my songs will also understand what kind of person I am." Facing the camera, Tang Guo said, "Even as I stand in front of everyone now, I'm not a perfect person. If you can accept me as I am, then please, like me to your hearts' content. There's no need to be so stingy."

"Tang Guo, aren't you afraid you'll offend people by being so straightforward?" the backstage host asked out of curiosity. Then, he went on to ask, "For instance, Lu Qi?"

"Lu Qi," he asked, "do you mind Tang Guo treating you like this? How are you feeling right now?"

The backstage host had found a really sensational new talking point. It could touch people's hearts and stir their feelings. Before this, Tang Guo had always sat off to the side silently and didn't talk much. Who would have thought that the moment she opened her mouth to speak, the subject she brought up would be so buzzworthy? If he had known earlier, he would certainly have found an opportunity to ask Tang Guo questions from the very beginning.

Tang Guo was all smiles as she said, "If I'm worried about offending people and go against my wishes to make myself into the kind of person I don't like, wouldn't I be leading such an exhausting life? Mr. Host, what did you feel when you listened to me sing?

The backstage host froze for a moment, dazed, then said, "Tang Guo, your voice is very serene and tranquil. It makes people feel very calm and peaceful. To be honest, after listening to you sing, it's easy to feel all the tiredness of the day fade away and as a result, have better quality sleep at night.

"I'm a little curious. Why does your voice have such an effect?"

"Because I'm living a very relaxed life now. I do everything I want and say anything I want." Tang Guo's lips curved gently into a smile, and she said, "You feel this way because I convey my feelings to you through my voice when I sing. When a person leads a carefree life free of worries and constraints and isn't under any pressure, they will naturally feel relaxed, be able to sleep well, and thus, no longer feel any fatigue."

The backstage host had clean forgotten about Lu Qi. Tang Guo's reply had completely caught him by surprise.

But soon enough, he remembered Lu Qi again and continued to ask the same question from before. Lu Qi was really facing a terrible situation that rendered her helpless and speechless.
