Chapter 128 (End of Volume 1) : The End of Dream Lover

The final filming for Dream Lover took place the day after the training class' awards ceremony. Last week, Charles didn't beat around the bush to keep the audience in suspense while selecting between the two final celebrities. Tang Feng was still the multi-millionaire's first choice. To the audience, it was a thoroughly expected yet unexpected ending.

What the audience feared the most was that Charles would throw a twist just before the conclusion. No one was capable of reading the minds of the rich. Nobody knew whether Charles would end up selecting someone other than Tang Feng at the very end. When Charles chose to give Tang Feng the bouquet of flowers in last week's episode, everybody sitting in front of the TV sighed in relief.

As for today, it was time for Charles' confession.

The confession would take place outside of S City. The production crew and everyone else involved in the show took a flight from China to the verdant city of Seattle in northwest United States. Charles would be confessing his love to Tang Feng in a mansion located right beside Lake Washington.

During the day, the production crew busied themselves taking scenery shots of the rich neighborhoods around Lake Washington. While filming, they didn't forget to gossip over which mansion belonged to the CEO of Microsoft and which belonged to a high official of Boeing. They had seen plenty of articles in fortune magazines describing the numerous high-ranking executives of well-known companies who lived in this beautiful area.

Despite it being Charles' mansion and despite the fact that they will be holding a confession ceremony later in the day, Charles and Tang Feng were not allowed to meet or talk together.

Like before, they first had to go through individual interviews with the show's host.

It was three twenty-three in the afternoon. Tang Feng and the host sat together in a room with two walls made completely out of glass. The room faced the lake's surface and one wall of glass could be opened up, leading to a wooden dock with a yacht anchored beside it.

Sitting on the couch, Tang Feng could feel a cool breeze brush over his face. Turning his head just a bit, he could see the beautiful Lake Washington. The blue surface of the lake glittered like a gemstone underneath the sunlight.

"Tang Feng, none of us knew you were previously acquainted with Charles. Before you agreed to film Dream Lover, did you already know that Charles would be this season's Prince Charming?" Audiences of the show would frequently send questions to the production crew. The host had especially selected a few among the many they'd received to ask Tang Feng today.

"Firstly, I really need to say this, but I don't think a title like 'Prince Charming' fits Charles at all. He's more like a lion. Usually, he looks impressive, but he's also arrogant and conceited." Tang Feng chuckled and raised a hand to brush back the hair that had been tousled loose by the breeze. "Most of you probably won't believe it, but I truly didn't know that Charles would be participating in this show. I wasn't all that familiar with him then. I'd only come across him a couple of times because he's good friends with President Lu."
