Despite being extremely annoyed, wishing the group of people would vanish, she couldn't break character and had to play along.
However, Gao Yuan was unwilling to be so disingenuous. She didn't want to sign and said directly, "Sorry, I've been running around for schedules and am a bit tired. I want to go rest for a while!"
With that, she stood up and walked away.
Seeing her unapproachable demeanor, the others didn't dare to get close to her and could only focus their attention on Yun Duo'er, which was exhausting for Yun Duo'er.
Xia Qianqian, looking at Yun Duo'er, who was completely surrounded, stood up dismissively and also walked towards the door.
Gao Yuan saw that this newcomer had a backbone. Without approaching her or Yun Duo'er, she found it interesting.
"Excuse me, I didn't notice you. Are you okay?" Xia Qianqian, walking in a hurry, accidentally bumped into Gao Yuan and quickly apologized.
"I'm fine. But you seem to be in such a hurry. Is something wrong?" Gao Yuan shook her head and asked.
Xia Qianqian replied, "Nothing, I just don't want to stay here anymore. Senior Gao, I'm really sorry about just now. Please don't mind!"
Although Gao Yuan was arrogant, she wasn't unreasonable. Firstly, she was indeed fine, and secondly, Xia Qianqian had not done it intentionally, so she didn't take it to heart.
Seeing that Xia Qianqian was still apologizing for what happened earlier, she smiled faintly, "I'm really fine. You can go out first!"
"Thank you, Sister Yuan!" Xia Qianqian hadn't expected that Gao Yuan, who had always given her the impression of being a diva, was actually so approachable.
But why was Gao Yuan's attitude so different when Yun Duo'er greeted her just now? Did they have some past conflict?
However, judging by Yun Duo'er's reaction, it seemed like they were meeting for the first time.
But this matter had nothing to do with her and was not something she should inquire about, so she left the conference room.
At this moment, Tong Tong and Liu Yifeng also walked out. Tong Tong immediately went to greet Xia Qianqian, "Auntie Xia!"
Walking over, he took Xia Qianqian's hand.
"Tong Tong, shall we go for a stroll?" Xia Qianqian just wanted to get as far away from Yun Duo'er as possible; seeing her was vexing.
Gao Yuan saw the young child Tong Tong and curiously asked, "Is he also a contestant in the competition?"
Based on their brief interaction, Xia Qianqian had developed a good impression of Gao Yuan. She smiled and nodded, "Yes, Tong Tong is the youngest among the contestants in this competition. But don't let Tong Tong's age fool you, Sister Yuan, Tong Tong is very smart and has many skills!"
"Really? Little friend, then you must perform well!" Gao Yuan didn't take Xia Qianqian's words too seriously.
No matter how smart the child was, his age was a limiting factor. It wouldn't be easy for him to stand out in such a competition.
However, the child was truly adorable, making her want to pinch his cheeks!
But she resisted to maintain her image. Liu Yifeng, seeing Gao Yuan, was overjoyed, "Hello, I... I'm Tong Tong's father. I really love the dramas you've starred in, especially the Xianxia drama that just came out. Your acting was explosive, truly amazing!"
Although he wasn't a fan, seeing such a famous artist in front of him, how could he not be excited?
After all, Gao Yuan was a goddess in the hearts of countless men. Many considered her their "white moonlight," hoping she would never get married, so she would belong to everyone.
He hadn't expected Gao Yuan to be a special guest on this show. Relying solely on her fame would attract a large number of viewers to the show. This was probably the true intention of the director in inviting her!
"Thank you. I hope you'll continue to support me. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be going now!" Gao Yuan was accustomed to male fans confessing their admiration.
She didn't particularly like or dislike Liu Yifeng, because in her eyes, Liu Yifeng was just another man, nothing special.
Although he was quite handsome, the entertainment industry was full of handsome men, and her aesthetic fatigue had long set in.
However, this child did catch her attention.
Not only was he so cute, but he was also participating in this competition, which showed he was no ordinary child. She hoped he would have a brilliant performance in the competition, otherwise, if he was mediocre, many people would be disappointed!
Watching the person who had already walked away, Liu Yifeng was slow to retract his gaze. This made Xia Qianqian a little jealous, and she said sarcastically, "Keep looking and your eyes will fall out. Do you like her very much?"
"I just think her acting is quite good. I didn't expect her to be so approachable in person!" Liu Yifeng retracted his gaze and said.
"Indeed, she's quite approachable. But there's someone else inside who's a real diva and puts on airs," Xia Qianqian said through gritted teeth.
Liu Yifeng instinctively glanced towards the conference room from which she had come. He saw a group of people surrounding someone, looking very excited and enthusiastic.
These people were all former artists, so why were they acting like such crazy fans?
But then again, Yun Duo'er was also participating in this show. He hadn't seen Yun Duo'er yet, and he wondered if the person being surrounded was her.
However, Liu Yifeng didn't plan to approach them proactively. An unexpected encounter could catch Yun Duo'er off guard.
"Qianqian, who were you referring to as putting on airs just now?" Liu Yifeng wanted to know if she disliked Yun Duo'er.
Xia Qianqian didn't want to waste any more words on Yun Duo'er, so she smiled and said, "It's no one, really. Let's go for a walk. This TV station is so big, it feels like we've come to a tourist attraction."
Then the three of them started to wander around. The special guests of the other contestants were busy taking photos with their idols and had no time to pay attention to them.
Although they had only interacted for a short time during the video shoot.
After parting ways, this reunion clearly lacked the enthusiasm they had on camera. Everyone seemed lethargic, neither enthusiastic nor cold towards them.
When they saw that Xia Qianqian, Tong Tong, and his father had a good relationship, they showed expressions of envy.
However, looking at the backs of the three from afar, they seemed like a happy family of three.
Meanwhile, Yun Duo'er finally finished taking photos and signing autographs with those who wanted one. Only then did she have a chance to catch her breath.
"Sister Duo'er, there are ten minutes until dinner. Would you like to walk around here?" the assistant asked.
Yun Duo'er had a private lounge here. Wandering around seemed beneath her dignity, so she shook her head, "No, let's go back to the lounge to rest. I have a headache from all that noise just now."
