[?!]
[Where’s Yu Wan? Why did a man get off?]
[Holy shit! Who is this? So handsome!]
[This height, this face, this aura, this suit—I’m shouting “husband”!]
[The only ones who haven’t appeared yet are Yu Wan and the new male guest.]
[No one told me this male guest was so handsome. Thinking about him being paired with Yu Wan makes my heart bleed.]
[Yu Wan, don’t mess with this male guest. If you have to, mess with me instead.]
[So handsome—could he be from the entertainment industry? Why haven’t I seen him before?]
[Wait, why is he standing there after getting out of the car? What’s he waiting for?]
On camera, Xie Mingyan stood still after exiting the car and slowly raised his hand.
The next second, a pale hand reached out from inside the car and rested on his.
Yu Wan bent down and stepped out of the car, giving Xie Mingyan a surprised look.
It seemed her desensitization method was quite effective. He wouldn’t let her touch him before, but now he was actively helping her out of the car.
“You’re doing well,” Yu Wan praised.
“As long as you’re satisfied, Miss,” Xie Mingyan replied with a smile, watching her.
Yu Wan felt there was something odd about Xie Mingyan at that moment. Why did it seem like his mood had improved?
Must be an illusion.
Still, she was quite pleased with his behavior.
“Do you remember what I told you earlier?” Yu Wan’s brown eyes fixed intently on him.
Her expression clearly warned that if Xie Mingyan dared forget, he’d regret it.
“I remember,” a flicker of amusement passed through Xie Mingyan’s eyes. “Stay close to you, don’t speak out of turn, and don’t look at others randomly.”
Xie Mingyan repeated her demands word for word, gently smoothing the wind-tousled strands of her hair.
“After all, I’m yours.”
So, don’t go provoking anyone else, or I might get unhappy.
Yu Wan was very satisfied after hearing this. “Good that you remember.”
“Now, take my arm,” Yu Wan lifted her elbow and commanded.
She hadn’t forgotten who was on this show—Xie Shiyuan and Yu Xiayue.
She only joined the program out of necessity, since the old man had frozen her cards and she was broke.
But show or not, she didn’t want to have anything to do with Xie Shiyuan again.
Hearing this, Xie Mingyan chuckled softly and very ‘obediently’ reached out, placing Yu Wan’s arm in the crook of his.
On screen.
A man and a woman—the woman radiant and bold, the man gentle and handsome—walked forward, an impeccably matched pair.
The live stream viewers watched the scene in collective shock, the comments eerily quiet for a moment.
Then, as if snapping back to reality:
[Holy crap, is that Yu Wan?!]
[How has Yu Wan changed so much? Since when was she this beautiful?]
Yu Wan had occasionally appeared in trending searches before, and they’d seen her face.
Though they always knew she was decent-looking, never before had they been so profoundly struck from the depths of their hearts.
Her features were exquisitely vivid, flamboyantly gorgeous, her fair skin making the red on her lips even more striking, to the point that even the lavish accessories seemed to pale in comparison.
It was a beauty with immense impact, like a blazing flame—wild, untamed, and boldly radiant.
[Why did I never notice this face before? Why?!]
[Yu Wan, as long as you don’t become a mistress, I can pretend the past never happened. With a face like yours, I can forgive you no matter what.]
[Wait, you netizens change your stance too quickly. What does being good-looking matter? Being good-looking doesn’t change the fact that she’s vicious and has a heart as poisonous as a snake.]
[Am I the only one curious about who that person next to her is? Why did he get out of the same car as Yu Wan and act so intimate with her?]
[He must be her partner. The production team went through the trouble to find someone to pair with Yu Wan. I feel sorry for this handsome guy.]
[Yu Wan likes Xie Shiyuan, yet she’s being so intimate with the male guest on the show. I feel even more sorry for her husband at home.]
At that moment, the host’s voice came from the screen.
“Let’s welcome our final two guests, Yu Wan and her husband Xie Mingyan.”
Netizens in the live stream were collectively stunned.
Wait, who did you say?
Whose husband?
Yu Wan?!
[You’re saying this devastatingly handsome man is Yu Wan’s unlucky husband?]
[With a husband like this, you still go out to cheat?]
[Yu Wan, if you don’t want your husband, I’ll take him! Give him to me!]
[Her husband’s surname is Xie? Same as Xie Shiyuan?]
[Wasn’t it said that Yu Wan doesn’t like her husband? Look at how these two are now – does that look like dislike?]
Their arms were tightly linked together – a handsome man and a beautiful woman, perfectly matched and pleasing to the eye.
[They’re pretending! They must be pretending! Yu Wan is definitely doing this on purpose to get Xie Shiyuan’s attention.]
Yu Wan, arm in arm with Xie Mingyan, stepped into the room together.
“Welcome our final two guests, Yu Wan and her husband Xie Mingyan.”
The voices in the room that had just been discussing them instantly fell silent.
Especially Xie Shiyuan, who had been thinking that Yu Wan had gone too far this time – she had even blocked his contact to get his attention.
Once blocked, don’t think about adding him back.
Then he thought, whatever, Yu Wan had always been this unreasonable. As long as she properly explained herself this time, he’d be willing to add her back.
After all, he really did see her as a younger sister.
But the next second, he looked up and saw Yu Wan walking in.
Xie Shiyuan’s gaze fixed firmly on Yu Wan’s face.
His heart skipped a beat. He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he’d seen Yu Wan wearing such bright, bold clothes.
In his memory, Yu Wan always wore clothes that didn’t suit her style – obviously unflattering, yet she always demanded his praise.
She would frequently pretend to be delicate and constantly throw tantrums to get his attention.
Whenever he was present, her eyes were always on him.
But now, even though he was sitting directly in front of her, she hadn’t even glanced at him since entering.
When Xie Shiyuan saw Xie Mingyan’s gaze directed at him, his fingers gripping his phone instantly tightened.
His eyes fixed tightly on their linked arms – the intimacy was glaring.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiayue’s gaze fell on Xie Mingyan. Was the villain in the book this handsome?
He looked gentle and refined, polite and courteous – nothing like the sinister, ruthless character described in the book.
Yu Xiayue lowered her eyelids. Did the villain appear this early in the book?
[Is it just me, or does the atmosphere in the room feel a bit off?]
【According to rumors, shouldn’t Yu Wan have rushed straight toward Xie Shiyuan upon entering? Why does it feel like Xie Shiyuan is the one paying attention to Yu Wan now, while she hasn’t even given him a glance?】
【Instead, the atmosphere between Xie Shiyuan and Xie Mingyan seems somewhat strange.】
【Must be an illusion—Xie Mingyan is clearly smiling very gently.】
Yu Wan remained completely unaware of the tension in the room. Gazing at the countdown on her wrist, she curled her lips into a faint smile.
Not bad. After several days of effort, the countdown had successfully increased by three days.
Though, to be honest, it only went from thirty days to thirty-three—her little life was still far from secure.
Who knew when this countdown would disappear? To make it increase more significantly, she still needed more intimate contact.
Thinking this, she tightened her grip on Xie Mingyan’s arm.
Two light coughs sounded in the room. Yu Wan glanced toward the source, a flicker of surprise in her eyes—she hadn’t expected Shen Li to be here.
Shen Li, her rival.
Shen Li lifted her chin arrogantly. What, you, a Love brain, can come, but I can’t?
But as Shen Li noticed the person beside Yu Wan, her delicate brows rose slightly. Wasn’t she supposed to dislike him? Why did she bring him along?
Yu Wan clearly understood her meaning and mouthed silently: None of your business.
“Yu Wan.” A male voice rang out in the space, tinged with displeasure.
