To maximize viewership, the program adopted a combination of live streaming and recorded broadcasts.
As soon as the live stream announcement was made, everyone began waiting online.
【I’m already waiting. Where’s the program team? Why hasn’t the live stream started yet?】
【Can Yu Wan just get lost and stay away from our Young Master Xie!】
【I can already imagine that as soon as the program starts, Yu Wan will cling to Xie Shiyuan like a dog-skin plaster again.】
【So what if she clings? Xie Shiyuan still likes our Yu Xiayue. He specifically joined this program for our Yueyue.】
【Sisters, when Yu Wan appears, let’s all start blasting her. Hopefully we can make her too scared to participate in the following recordings.】
【By the way, the program added another guest. We still don’t know who it is.】
【Whoever it is, I just want to see the showdown now.】
【When Yu Wan shows up later, everyone step back. My insults are particularly vicious – let me go first!】
Comments flew across the live stream screen.
Finally, under everyone’s anticipation, the live stream began.
Yu Xiayue and Xie Shiyuan were the first to appear. As popular celebrities in the entertainment industry, the comments section instantly exploded.
【Yueyue, we’re here! Love you, love you!】
【Young Master Xie, you better treat our Yueyue well. Don’t even glance at that homewrecker.】
【Yueyue looks so ethereal in that white dress – she’s the perfect white moonlight.】
Yu Xiayue looked at Xie Shiyuan beside her and smiled gently: “I didn’t expect you’d really join this program for me.”
“I heard Yu Wan is coming too?” Yu Xiayue tilted her head, asking as if casually.
When Xie Shiyuan heard Yu Wan’s name, his heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly realized what had been missing these past few days.
It was Yu Wan – that person who used to always surround him, the one he found annoying.
Since their last meeting at the club, she hadn’t appeared before him for a long time.
Someone he used to see every day had suddenly disappeared.
“Shiyuan?” Yu Xiayue raised her voice slightly: “What are you thinking about?”
Xie Shiyuan snapped out of his daze: “Just thinking about company matters.”
After collecting himself, he asked: “What did you just say?”
“I asked if Yu Wan is coming too?”
Xie Shiyuan lowered his eyes and hummed in agreement: “She’s coming.”
For some reason, although he disliked Yu Wan’s persistent attention, knowing he would see her soon made him feel an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
Perhaps it was because he saw her as a younger sister. Moreover, her marriage partner was Xie Mingyan – that abnormal person. His concern for her was only natural.
“Yu Wan probably sees you as an older brother. Now that she sees us getting close, it’s normal for her to feel uncomfortable. Don’t be too harsh with her.” Yu Xiayue spoke with considerable understanding.
Xie Shiyuan’s fingers twitched slightly at his side: “I know.”
Just then, a derisive snort came from nearby.
Xie Shiyuan looked over and saw Shen Li, who often opposed Yu Wan. He hadn’t expected her to be here.
Shen Li ignored him. After laughing once, she lazily settled into her seat.
【Ah, our Yueyue is truly beautiful inside and out, even speaking up for Yu Wan.】
【What older brother? She’s knowing she’s the third party and acting as one. She has a husband but still can’t behave properly. She deserves to be scolded.】
【Not just that, she loves copying our Yueyue too. What a copycat. She should look at herself – does she have even half of Yueyue’s elegance?】
【She’s already cheating like this, and her husband at home can still tolerate it?】
【Don’t even mention it, I actually feel a bit sorry for her ninja turtle husband. Don’t even know what he looks like.】
The barrage was filled with criticism directed at Yu Wan.
A few more guests arrived later, exchanging greetings with each other.
Yu Xiayue glanced around and asked with a smile, “Is Yu Wan the only one who hasn’t arrived yet?”
“Shiyuan, do you have her contact? Maybe you should check if something happened on the way.”
Xie Shiyuan took out his phone. “I’ll ask then.”
Yu Xiayue’s expression stiffened momentarily. She hadn’t expected that after all her efforts to win over Xie Shiyuan, and despite his apparent dislike for Yu Wan, he still hadn’t blocked her and even kept her contact information.
She forced a smile. “Alright, you ask her.”
【Everyone else is here, only Yu Wan is late. So inconsiderate.】
【My Yueyue is so beautiful and kind-hearted, even asking Xie Shiyuan to check on her. So magnanimous.】
“The new guest hasn’t arrived either,” someone nearby commented.
【Oh right, there’s a new guest too.】
【Previously, Yu Wan forced her way into the show. Everyone else came in pairs, and I was looking forward to seeing her struggle alone.】
【Could the new guest be Yu Wan’s designated partner?】
【Then I’ll have to pity that poor man in advance. His partner only has eyes for someone else.】
【Speaking of which, they wouldn’t arrive together, would they?】
.
Yu Wan sat lazily in the car, resting with her eyes closed.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed beside her.
Yu Wan picked it up and glanced at it, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
【Xie Shiyuan: Are you here yet? Everyone’s waiting for you.】
Xie Mingyan’s gaze drifted casually over the screen. Seeing the name, dark emotions churned in his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips.
They’re still in contact.
Weren’t you supposed to not like him anymore? Weren’t you supposed to say I’m your new flame?
Yu Wan, my wife, you’re not being honest.
Seeing the message, Yu Wan clicked her tongue in annoyance. “Sending messages for no reason. How irritating.”
The next second, she directly dragged him into the blacklist.
Witnessing the entire process, the gloomy aura around Xie Mingyan gradually dissipated without a sound, returning to his usual gentle and obedient demeanor.
Meanwhile, at the program’s live broadcast site, Xie Shiyuan waited for a long time but received no reply from Yu Wan, feeling inexplicably irritable.
Previously, she would reply to his messages instantly.
After a while, he sent another message: “I’m waiting for you too.”
The next second, a glaring red exclamation mark popped up on the screen.
Message sent, but rejected by the recipient.
Yu Wan had blocked him!
Noticing Xie Shiyuan’s unusual mood, Yu Xiayue turned to ask, “What’s wrong?”
As she spoke, she tried to glance at his phone. Xie Shiyuan immediately turned it off. “Nothing.”
Because of his phone-turning-off action, Yu Xiayue’s expression stiffened, but she maintained her smile and asked, “So? What did Yu Wan say?”
“She said she’s almost here,” Xie Shiyuan replied with a dismissive tone. Yu Xiayue didn’t press further.
【Is Yu Wan coming or not? If not, she should just leave. No one wants to see her anyway.】
【No sense of time at all.】
【But actually, the program’s scheduled gathering time is 12 o’clock. It’s not time yet.】
【So what? Everyone else managed to arrive early. Only Yu Wan can’t. Must be because the young miss is too privileged.】
The barrage of comments erupted in criticism again. No wonder they said Yu Wan had a bloody storm physique—no matter what she did, she would be singled out and criticized.
Amid the torrent of abuse, a car slowly drove in.
[Damn! A Bentley! That license plate is insane.]
[Since when is the production team this loaded? Such luxury treatment?]
[Is it possible this isn’t the production team’s car?]
[Truly worthy of the Yu family’s young lady. Though I dislike her, I have to admit—she’s got presence.]
Just as the comments were buzzing with amazement, the car door slowly opened.
[Yu Wan’s about to arrive, everyone get ready—let the roasting begin!]
The next second, a pair of thin-soled leather shoes appeared on screen.
As the camera gradually panned upward, a man’s face came into view.
