Gu Qichen's words took Xia Yangyang by surprise. Others might not have understood, but she did. He was explaining the necklace—the two-hundred-million-dollar purchase he'd kept secret. It was meant to be a surprise, a surprise overshadowed by accusations and conspiracy that Gu Qichen intended to shoulder alone. Xia Yangyang, who had been blaming him, was instantly moved to tears.

The host, equally surprised, remarked, "It seems you two have quite a story." He seemed to finally grasp the situation. Mr. Gu rarely gave media interviews, especially entertainment ones. Their attempt to interview Miss Xia had unexpectedly resulted in Mr. Gu's immediate agreement. It turned out he wanted to use this opportunity to apologize to his wife.

Gu Qichen's sincerity and Xia Yangyang's visible emotion guaranteed a ratings surge. The host, happy to play peacemaker, asked, "Miss Xia, anything to say to Mr. Gu?"

Xia Yangyang, tears streaming, looked down. Gu Qichen offered her a tissue. "Darling, don't cry," he whispered in her ear, his words almost inaudible to the host. "You can have me any way you want tonight; I'm at your mercy."

Xia Yangyang's emotional moment was abruptly interrupted. Embarrassed and angry at his suggestive remark, she bit his bicep, leaving a mark.

The host worriedly asked, "Miss Xia, how could you bite someone?"

Gu Qichen, however, smiled indulgently, petting her head. "It's okay, I'm used to it. As long as she's happy."

Xia Yangyang felt he was teasing her. Suddenly realizing something was amiss, she pulled away, angrily asking, "When did I ever bite you before?"

"You wouldn't remember," he replied. "Next time, I'll show you the evidence."

Initially confused, Xia Yangyang quickly understood his implication, her face reddening. She playfully punched his shoulder.

Watching their banter, the host laughed. "Miss Xia has given us our answer. That's all for today's interview. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Gu."

After his closing remarks, the host turned to see the couple playfully wrestling. The interview, initially concerning due to Mr. Gu's evasiveness on sensitive topics, had ended on a sweet note, thanks to Miss Xia's natural reactions.

As the crew began packing up, a reporter from "Star Family" rushed over. "Sister Yang, big news! Shen Tianhou is being held hostage on a rooftop, about to jump with the kidnapper!"

Author's Note:

Five more updates—let's chat! I know many of you are upset by the sudden shift to angst after the sweet moments, and may even consider dropping the novel. But my writing follows the storyline. My standard isn't simply sweetness or angst; the storyline is paramount. The necklace issue remains unresolved, and this is just the beginning. I will address all plot points. The sweetness and angst are integral parts of the story. The mood will shift as needed. Please stop focusing solely on whether it's sweet or angsty; focus on the captivating storyline. A novel encompasses various emotions—romance, family, friendship, betrayal, etc. If you dislike this type of novel, please drop it quietly. There's no need to announce it in the comments. I'm somewhat sensitive. To those who stay with me, I'm deeply grateful. Love you guys!
