Married to a Millionaire

Chapter 60

Test of Marital Understanding -- The Final Question

The five couples silently waited for the final question as the host turned his back to the rolling big screen, finished counting down from three, then loudly shouted "Stop!" After reading the question on the screen, the host laughed, "If the previous question was a pit that the gentlemen dug for themselves, then this question is an olive branch from the ladies. Alright, please have the five beautiful ladies write down the most touching thing their partner has done for them. Gentlemen, please try your best to think back and recall a time when you moved her."

Compared to the previous teasing and funny program, the answers to this question would undoubtedly be heartwarming.

The music turned soft and melodious. As Jennie looked at the answer board, scenes of her time spent with Lisa flashed through her mind. It seemed like he was always touching her, considerately helping her with her seatbelt, hiring a tutor to help her get into college, bringing her water during military training...

Which one was the most touching?

If she had to choose just one, Jennie suddenly felt like she didn't have enough time.

The host walked among the couples, timely reminding them, "Everyone, don't worry. You have three minutes to think about this question. Rest assured, the 2 million grand prize is in your hands. Everyone is patiently waiting, right?"

The audience responded with enthusiastic applause.

Three minutes could be very long or very short. When all the couples had finished writing, the host asked them to turn around their answer boards and walk out in order of their numbers, with the first couple standing in the middle. The man would first tell the woman his answer, then the woman would say the moment she found most touching.

It was both a confession and a trip down memory lane.

In this kind of atmosphere, Jennie forgot her nervousness about going on stage. Gripping her answer board, she secretly glanced at Lisa.

Lisa was also looking at her. Meeting her gaze, he gave her a faint smile, his bright black eyes more dazzling than all the lights in the gym.

Jennie smiled and lowered her eyes. She felt Lisa probably couldn't guess her answer, but even if they weren't in sync for this question, she was already very happy.

"The most touching moment for me was when I was four months pregnant with Tao. You came home from work and showed me two baby outfits, asking if I liked them." The speaker was Li Zong's wife, a woman nearing forty, slightly plump, who dabbed at her eyes as she spoke.

Li Zong looked at his wife in surprise, not having guessed her answer.

The host asked Mrs. Li why such a small matter moved her so much. Choking back tears, Mrs. Li said, "He was busy with work. During my first three months of pregnancy, he never properly accompanied me. I thought he didn't like children, but then..."

She didn't finish her sentence before Li Zong came over and embraced his wife. The audience responded with applause.

Jennie was also moved by Mrs. Li's words, watching her intently until the host called out the second couple. Only then did she realize it was her and Lisa's turn to go on stage. Her cheeks flushed crimson instantly. Nervous, Jennie wanted to lower her head but was afraid Lisa's employees would laugh at her for seeming petty. So she silently psyched herself up: We're all pets...

"Mr. Manoban, please go ahead." The host handed the microphone to Lisa.

But instead of bluntly reading his answer like the two bosses before him, Lisa took step by step towards Jennie, shortening the distance between them from six steps to two. Then, facing the audience, he said, "The men have gone first so far, so let me switch it up with Jennie. I want to hear her answer first."
