A laid-back guy paired with a dominant partner who pampers him

Chapter 7 (End)

I blushed, feeling bold in my confession; I must be the first to do so.

Zhai Chen gently cupped my face and smiled softly under the moonlight, "From now on, I just want Xing Li to marry me."

We were together now, holding hands as we returned to the party. As soon as we arrived, my dad pulled me over to meet the head of an entertainment company.

I turned to Zhai Chen with a helpless look, but he just smiled and waved at me.

The company president asked me to act. On one hand, I thought it would be boring to attend parties with my dad every day; on the other hand, I felt that joining the entertainment industry might give me more time with Zhai Chen, so I agreed.

Strangely, after entering the industry, my memories of Zhai Chen felt wiped away. It was as if I were a programmed machine, starting to fawn over Su Yunyi.

Zhai Chen never looked for me again. A few years later, he entered the entertainment industry, and we "met" for the first time on set.

These fragmented scenes pieced together the memories I had with Zhai Chen.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying in a bed at a villa, my head wrapped in thick gauze.

The room was crowded with people.

The first thing I saw was Zhai Chen's deep eyes.

He held me tightly in his arms, burying his head in my neck. "Xing Li, I'm so glad you're okay."

I hugged Zhai Chen back, a wave of bitterness filling my heart. I had just agreed to be with him, and then turned around to enter the entertainment industry and fawn over Su Yunyi. How much pain had he endured all these years?

The director and crew exchanged glances and quietly turned off the recording equipment, ushering everyone out. Everyone was discreet, except for Su Yunyi, who still wanted to linger. Jiang Wanwan, ignoring Su Yunyi's struggles, covered her mouth and dragged her away.

Watching the black screen of the livestream, the fans were stunned: [What's going on? A livestream accident?]

[This feels off... Seems like they're protecting privacy... The way Zhai Chen and Xia Xing Li looked at each other indicates their relationship is definitely not ordinary.]

[I only saw everyone leave discreetly; it was just Su Yunyi who didn't understand the atmosphere... Speechless.]

In the room, Zhai Chen gently wiped my tears away, looking at me with deep affection.

"Zhai Chen, I remember everything..."

He stroked my messy hair. "As long as you remember, that's good."

Zhai Chen showed me a weary smile.

I tightly embraced Zhai Chen, unsure how to explain my memory loss and my fawning over Su Yunyi.

It seemed like Zhai Chen could sense my emotions. He comforted me, "I know everything, Xing Li. You're back, and that's all that matters..."

I was shocked and peeked out of his embrace. "You know?"

Zhai Chen didn’t respond, just looking at me.

I didn’t ask more questions; after all, the outcome was good, so why worry about anything else?

And just like that, I was with Zhai Chen.

In the days that followed, even though we didn’t speak about it, the production team knew what was happening, while only Su Yunyi remained oblivious, clearly struggling with basic understanding.

Before I knew it, we were nearing the end of filming, and we successfully gathered thirty markers, earning ourselves a long-desired seafood feast.

We sat on the beach, reminiscing about the past month’s fun moments, and then talked about our future.

I was lively and could pick up any conversation, while Zhai Chen sat beside me, helping to crack crabs and putting the meat in my bowl.

[Ahhhh, did you see that? Zhai Chen is cracking crabs for Xing Li!]

[Isn't this the love story of the aloof film emperor and the proud young master?]

[Wait, does the internet have no memory? Have you all really forgotten that he fawned over Su Yunyi?]

[Stop it, look at how Su Yunyi dragged everyone down throughout the show. What is she pretending to be, a young lady?]

[Exactly, did you see Xia Xing Li even care about her? Stop it already.]

As the seafood feast was winding down, the director signaled for a few people to discuss their relationship status, hoping to boost the viewership one last time.

Zhang Xiao and his wife had been happily married for many years, often posting travel photos together on Weibo, a model husband in the entertainment industry.

Jiang Wanwan expressed her focus on her career, not interested in dating or marriage.

When the camera turned to Su Yunyi, she began to play the victim again...

She exaggerated her story about her time in the orphanage with Zhai Chen, subtly implying a close relationship between them.

This news was explosive and indeed pushed the viewer count to its peak. "If I'm not married by thirty, I'll marry Xia Xing Li."

I was caught off guard while eating crab legs and nearly choked.

Zhai Chen quickly helped me, shooting a deadly glare at Su Yunyi.

"Are you sick? I'd rather get married than ever marry you."

I looked at Su Yunyi disdainfully. I thought that after seeing how close Zhai Chen and I were, the production team must know we were together, and she should have given up. But how could she still naively think I would fawn over her?

[Whoa, that's harsh. Isn't that a bit too much?]

[How can Goddess Su endure this? If she says that, then I wish her a lifetime of not marrying!]

[Goddess Su, marry me! I love you!]

That statement set Su Yunyi's brain-dead fans off.

"Xing Li will only marry me in the future; she won't marry anyone else."

After Zhai Chen said this coolly, the entire comment section fell silent. A few seconds later, the livestream chat exploded: [Ahhhhhh, it’s real! I told you! They’re real!]

[Help, it’s officially announced!]

[Now Su Yunyi looks like a clown, hahahahahaha.]

Zhai Chen pulled me close as I was eating crab meat, and I looked at him in disbelief.

Wow, that was bold. I couldn’t let him outdo me: "Did you hear that? My husband won’t let me marry anyone else, so you should find someone else."

Now it was Su Yunyi's turn to be dumbfounded; she hadn’t even considered that we were together. Perhaps she knew but just refused to acknowledge it.

The variety show ended with laughter and applause from everyone except Su Yunyi.

Afterward, Zhai Chen, who rarely posted on Weibo, shared a photo of us with the caption: [My love.]

I posted a similar photo with the same caption.

Then, the entire Weibo platform crashed, and I lay in Zhai Chen’s arms, exchanging smiles.
