Chapter 5: The Yandere Queen Also Came!

They say that bad luck follows you in your zodiac year. Fang Zhou pondered why his luck was still this bad at 25, long past his zodiac year.

First, it was Chu Xinran, his ex-ex-ex-girlfriend, and then it was Han Xi, his ex-ex-girlfriend.

Was this show destined to be against him?

It seemed like earning this 500,000 wasn’t going to be easy.

As the two people approached, a cameraman turned the lens to capture the meeting of these handsome and beautiful guests.

Fang Zhou quickly forced a smile, controlling his expression but stopping in his tracks.

Approaching him were Dong Donghui, the President of DG’s Asia division, and Han Xi, the CEO of the largest beauty company in the country.

“Hello, I’m Dong Donghui.”

The man in the suit extended his hand, and Fang Zhou shook it.

Han Xi, standing beside him, also extended her hand without a word.

Her exquisite face showed no expression, her narrow phoenix eyes gliding over Fang Zhou’s face without any emotion.

No chit-chat, no pleasantries, not a single word, as if she had never seen him before.

Her cold aura lowered the surrounding temperature by several degrees.

Fang Zhou controlled his inner awkwardness, raised a smile, and shook her hand.

Her slender, cool hand reminded him of a year and a half ago.

Han Xi was often ill due to her busy work schedule, and her hands would be this cool. Fang Zhou used to hold her hand, trying to warm it.

But in just a year and a half, everything had changed.

They shook hands briefly, as if they were strangers, and quickly let go.

Fang Zhou withdrew his hand and stepped aside, informing them.

“There’s a place to rest over there.”

Dong Donghui and Han Xi nodded gently and walked towards Chu Xinran.

Both of them were top executives, dominating the business world. Their combined presence was overwhelming.

The live comments were already going wild.

“Ahhhh! Her cold face is so cool, I love it!”

“Oh my god, these two look so perfect together, I’ve already imagined an entire CEO romance novel!”

“I bet a pack of spicy strips that these two will end up together!”

“Hey, hold on, the guests haven’t all appeared yet, isn’t it too early to bet? I think there might be a better couple later!”

Fang Zhou kicked at the sand, his inner voice roaring.

Can someone tell me why a CEO like Han Xi is joining a romance show?

She’s so rich, just a wave of her hand and young men would flock to her!

Or is her beauty product line not selling well, and she needs to promote it herself?

It would have been fine with anyone else, but Han Xi was also someone he had dumped!

They had been together for just three months when he broke up with her.

He told her, “You’re too cold; I like gentle ones.”

That night, Han Xi’s best friend found a bunch of bodyguards and had them beat Fang Zhou in an alley.

While hitting him, they cursed, “You scumbag! You like gentle ones, huh? Hope you stay limp forever and be gentle for life!”

Han Xi eventually appeared and sent the group away, even taking Fang Zhou to the hospital.

Recalling that past, Fang Zhou’s head started throbbing.

What kind of situation is this, running into two ex-girlfriends in a row?

Are they testing me? If they have the guts, turn all the female guests into my ex-girlfriends!

He mentally rolled his eyes at the blue sky above.

“This is delicious.”

Chu Xinran had already started sharing the snacks and fruits with the other two.

Han Xi nodded slightly, taking the orange from her and thanking her.

“Han Xi, your voice is so beautiful, like jade striking.”

Chu Xinran smiled brightly, sincerely praising Han Xi.

“Your makeup looks great today too.”

Han Xi politely returned the compliment.

Standing in front of them, Fang Zhou was already sweating.

His two ex-girlfriends had met, and they seemed to get along?

If they found out that the man before them was their mutual ex-boyfriend, would they team up to mock him and find ways to mess with him?

Anything negative they said during the live broadcast would ruin Fang Zhou’s reputation.

Though his reputation was already useless to him.

Fang Zhou shook his head, trying to dispel those chaotic thoughts.

Calm down, calm down. They don’t know. As long as I don’t say anything, they won’t know.

While they were chatting, three more guests arrived on the island.

Two men and one woman.

Fang Zhou instinctively glanced at the woman’s face, relieved to see an unfamiliar one.

He thought, there’s no way people can be this unlucky.

A show with only a few female guests, running into two ex-girlfriends was already rare, let alone five.

The three new arrivals were Tang Wan, a lawyer with short hair and a sweet smile, Qi Le, a famous racer, and Sun Haotian, the owner of dozens of restaurant chains.

So far, seven people had arrived, with three more on the way.

As the most sociable among them, Sun Haotian poured some juice and took the initiative to greet and chat with everyone.

Even Fang Zhou, standing on the outskirts, was infected by his enthusiasm, momentarily forgetting his awkwardness and relaxing a bit.

Whatever, I’ll just deal with it as it comes.

Fang Zhou told himself.

However, a few minutes later, when the remaining three guests arrived on the island, Fang Zhou could no longer smile.

Two women stepped off the boat—a mature woman with long, curly brown hair and frameless glasses, exuding an academic aura, and another wearing blue sunglasses, with striking pink hair, dressed in high-end fashion.

Someone recognized the latter and exclaimed.

“Are you the famous actress Qiao Sisi?”

“Thud!”

It was the sound of a cup dropping onto the sand. Because the sand was soft, the cup didn’t break, but the orange juice inside spilled out.

Fang Zhou used the fallen cup as an excuse to squat down, avoiding eye contact with the two women.

Help!

Why are there two more ex-girlfriends?

Out of the five female guests on the show, four were his ex-girlfriends!

And now, the yandere Qin Yun was here too!

She’s going to tear me apart!
