How ironic!

[What a disappointment! Let's all go, sigh. We were just discussing who these two kids look like, those two handsome little ones are sure to be gorgeous.]

[It's clear that Yan Huaishu does have those feelings, but isn't Fu Zhiming his rival in love? Even he has spoken out, so I still believe what Fu Zhiming just said: there's nothing between them, it's mainly about his younger brother's studies.]

Xia Xiyue: You scared me to death!

Xia Xiyue: Hehe, I thought one annoying guy left and another one came along.

[Learn from this, let the alarm bells ring—some wolves are lured indoors this way!]

[Those ambiguous remarks Yan Huaishu just made...]

[It's obvious she's deliberately trying to provoke Xu Mucheng by jumping out! Some manipulative men talk like that, all sticky and ambiguous, making people think all sorts of things.]

[I'm a green tea b*tch, and I agree with the comment above!]

【I disagree! Yan Huaishu is a complete gigolo, he's not good enough for Sister Qin at all. My Sister Qin is the only one who's beautiful!!】

Let's make a bold assumption: even if it's true, what's wrong with me having a handsome man toy with, like a leading lady? He'd be getting off easy!

[Do it first, then love; lust at first sight... I think some of you are like Xu Mucheng; the first thing you should do right now is uninstall Tomato Novels :)]

"Miss Xu."

Men don't know when to stop, so he pressed his advantage. Yan Huaishu said, "What you just said and did has violated my and Miss Qinqin's personal reputation rights. I will file a lawsuit against you afterward."

"Just wait for the court's notification."

Every single point he raised was flawlessly refuted by the other side, and he currently had no crucial evidence to offer.

Xu Mucheng felt anxious and turned to Huo Mingyi for help.

—Brother Mingyi, say something!

Her eyes told a story.

Suddenly, another idea flashed through Xu Mucheng's mind. She suddenly remembered that from the beginning until now, when she confronted those people, Huo Mingyi had never said a word or offered any support.

"Brother Mingyi, everything I said is true, you will believe me... right?"

The woman grabbed the man's wrist as if she were grasping at the last straw in her life. She deliberately found the angle that made her look best, and the expression on her face was pitiful.

Huo Mingyi: "...Yes, Mu Cheng, of course I believe you."

To be honest, Huo Mingyi didn't really believe it either.

Having watched Xu Mucheng cause so much trouble over the two episodes, he not only witnessed it but also experienced it firsthand, and some of it even brought him a lot of trouble.

Huo Mingyi was indeed sometimes troubled by Xu Mucheng's butterfly effect, but upon closer reflection, it was related to him. Wasn't this a way of showing his appreciation for him?

Ah, his overwhelming masculine charm is simply irresistible and impossible to conceal!

— Huo Mingyi is damn sure he's fallen for this trick!

Even now, in Huo Mingyi's view, it's understandable that his little orange, who has always been at odds with that Qin Chaoyue and is worried that the other woman will take her away, would fabricate such a rumor in public.

Mu Cheng still cared too much about him. He had never liked Qin Chaoyue's type. Women who were too strong and domineering were not likable at all—even though she was indeed very beautiful.

Anymore.

He had always harbored hostility towards Yan Huaishu. Whenever he saw that person, he would instinctively feel a strong sense of crisis. This Xu Mucheng had included this person in her rumors, so Mucheng must have given up on that person too, right?

It's a win-win situation, just right.

Xu Mucheng's meddling has always been a thing, so he just watched without helping or stopping him, figuring he would clean up the mess himself.

He is such a gentle and considerate man.

In Huo Mingyi's eyes, Qin Chaoyue was unrestrained and bold. Xu Mucheng's words might not be entirely unfounded; she did seem capable of such things, perhaps long ago... Thinking of this, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

But perhaps Qin Chaoyue was so beautiful and had such a large fortune that she was taken advantage of by someone else, clearly not his type. Yet, Huo Mingyi felt a vague sense of displeasure.

The only person present who needed to be comforted was Yan Huaishu.

Huo Mingyi took the initiative to step forward and assume the man's responsibility. He discussed with Yan Huaishu, "Can we resolve this privately? Mu Cheng just speaks her mind quickly; she didn't mean any harm. Whatever compensation you need, I will take full responsibility!"

[666, spreading false rumors in public, the malice is off the charts, isn't that malicious enough?]

I disagree! I disagree!

[Does Huo Mingyi think that he's trying to be very manly and masculine?]

Shen Wenyu was the first to rush forward.

"You think we're short of your money?!" he said aggressively. "My uncle! Such an innocent and upright man is being slandered like this for no reason. Doesn't his reputation matter? If you spread rumors in public like this, how is my uncle supposed to get married in the future?"

"It can't be..."

He paused, glancing at Qin Chaoyue as he spoke, his intentions all too clear.

[Is 666 getting married? This is an open secret; she's not even pretending anymore!]

[This tactic of forcing a resignation is brilliant!]

【I do not agree to this marriage. My wife and I are the right match. Even if I cannot go there for the time being, I will not allow some unknown vixen to take that place!】

Let me be fair—they're a perfect couple, what right do you monsters have to object?

"no!"

It was Qin Mianxing's voice. He was protecting his sister tightly behind him like an eagle catching a chick.

He's just making things up, isn't he? He's shameless enough to make sure there's no extra pair of chopsticks in the house!

"This is a staged accident scam. If others use this method to extort money from you in the future... I definitely won't allow it!"

[Jiang Lingye: Although our two families have a good relationship, if you want to be my brother-in-law, that's a different story.]

[Hilarious! All sorts of random people are trying to scam me!]

[Something suddenly occurred to me: since Shen Wenyu's villa is located near Jiang Lingye and her brother, who are relatives, doesn't that mean Yan Huaishu is also quite wealthy?]

【Huh? You're only finding out now? I thought it was common knowledge】

[If you ask me, stop arguing and just thank matchmaker Xu Mucheng—this marriage was made possible by her quick wit and persuasive words!]

Didn't you see? I disagree! I disagree! I disagree! I disagree!

[Hmm... Isn't it usually the woman who suffers when these kinds of rumors spread? Why is it always Yan Huaishu who's desperately trying to prove his innocence? It's hilarious, as if anyone would leave him if he were really tainted.]

Maybe it's true (doge) (doge)

[Awesome! This is the kind of storyline our leading lady should be watching!]

Huo Mingyi gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Yan Huaishu's expression: "Your nephew is spouting such nonsense, aren't you going to stop him?"

Yan Huaishu glanced at him indifferently: "Where did I go wrong?"

He said that about you—

“I am not like some men who are already tainted and don’t care about these things, and can even talk about them as a joke during casual conversation.”

Fu Rao glanced at his cousin beside him with a deep look.

Now he knows the truth of the past, right? Okay, he may have targeted the wrong person, and his cousin also bears responsibility. But if the other party hadn't appeared at that time, Sister Yue might really be his sister-in-law by now, or at least... at least they should be engaged, right?

No matter how well Fu Rao behaved in front of Qin Chaoyue, he was still from an old-established wealthy family, and he naturally carried the air of superiority and condescension that rich kids usually have.

Instead of reflecting on their own actions when faced with problems, they first blame others.

Qin Mianxing couldn't get along with him.

Chastity is a man's best dowry!

[lol, the way Fu Rao secretly looked at Fu Zhiming, don't think we couldn't see it.]

No problem, an impure mind is still an impure mind!

[He's always been involved in some kind of tumultuous relationship with his "sister" (note: not related by blood), and now he's bringing it up again. I'm starting to wonder if the man my husband is talking about who lacks male virtue is actually Huo Mingyi?]

Huo Mingyi and Fu Zhiming are both despicable men, not a single one of them is good!

[Great, great, everyone's happy!]

Huo Mingyi knew that Yan Huaishu and Fu Zhiming didn't get along, and that his relationship with Xu Mucheng was a respectful "brother-sister relationship." He didn't suspect that the current strange behavior was directed at him.

Still displaying his masculine charm and relentlessly working to resolve the problems caused by Xu Mucheng, Huo Mingyi frowned in a domineering CEO-like manner.

"Yan Huaishu, give me some face, let's end this here."

"Mr. Huo, how much influence do you think you have?"

Huo Mingyi's face darkened: "Then there's nothing to discuss."

"I'm sorry, but my reputation is very important."

The man spoke politely, but his attitude was unyielding.

Not a drop of water can get in.

Helpless, Huo Mingyi had no choice but to come back. He patted Xu Mucheng on the back—by this time, Xu Mucheng finally knew fear.

He raised his eyes hesitantly: "Brother Mingyi...?"

"Don't worry, I'll get you the best lawyer!"

After failing to reach an agreement and completely breaking off relations, Yan Huaishu went to find Qin Chaoyue.

[Ugh, I suspect these two are secretly getting together again.]

[Teacher, this is the comments section, not a no-man's land]

[Forget it, they only met briefly and then the microphone was removed, and such rumors started circulating. If they were alone together in the same room again, I suspect the next step for them is already having a baby.]

[Spreading rumors is illegal! Please stop, bro. Do you want to become the next Xu Mucheng?]

[I am mentally ill. The above is a statement made by my alter ego and has nothing to do with me. This is a statement made for your information.]

[Let me say something bluntly: admit it, man, you're secretly quite pleased to have rumors about me and my wife, aren't you?]

"Feel sorry."

Yan Huaishu spoke again.

Compared to his unyielding demeanor in front of Huo Mingyi just moments ago, the man now lowered his handsome yet arrogant head.

Even though they appear gentle and mild-mannered in front of Qin Chaoyue, those of them, who come from privileged backgrounds and are far ahead in their circles, leaving others far behind, are all inherently proud.

Qin Mianxing stood in front of his sister as always. Since he had just been the target of rumors, his actions did not seem out of place.

Qin Chaoyue gently pushed her younger brother aside.

The man lowered his head slightly, but his beautiful, sparkling eyes kept looking over.

A halo of light seeped in.

Qin Chaoyue finally managed to find a trace of the past on this now mature face.

I still remember that the handsome man's eyes weren't pure black; when he was deeply moved, they could faintly reflect a hint of azure.

He wasn't exactly obedient at first, but Qin Chaoyue wasn't one to tolerate such behavior.

Once or twice...

Ultimately, when applied to men, it always blossoms into a dazzling spectacle.

While her mind was filled with absurd thoughts, Qin Chaoyue's expression remained completely unchanged in reality.

As another party to the rumors, Qin Chaoyue has always been very quiet, almost invisible, and it was her younger brother Qin Mianxing who did the work.

Now, she responds with, "Mm."

He neither said he accepted nor he didn't accept; the ending of his sentence was somewhat subdued, making it difficult to discern his true feelings.

"If Miss Qin needs anything, we can do it here together..."

"Okay."

That was accepted.

[You two seem so nonchalant; anyone who didn't know better would really think there was something going on between you!]

What's so special about her? She remains unperturbed by everything; that's what makes a true leading lady!

I believe in Xu Mucheng's character, and I also believe in my husband and wife's character. This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!

I don't question the former, but the latter is a scheming guy. Remember, Sister Qin openly confessed in the first episode that she likes handsome men!

[Damn it, I wish I could tear Yan Huaishu's face off and stick it on myself.]

[Upstairs, you also need the other person to have a good figure.]

[Yan Huaishu: Since things are like this, why bother buying anything? You've already transmigrated into this body, so I'll just give you my entire identity.]

[So passionate!]

That won't work either. Think about it, what if Huo Mingyi's soul resided in Yan Huaishu's body...?

Please don't say it!!!

Xia Xiyue: Anyway, I don't agree to this marriage!

[Jiang Lingye: I second that!]

[Fu Zhiming: So what should I say?]

Get out of here!!!

The audience could not see the live chat.

The last way to get past one thing is to cover it up with another. Qin Chaoyue understood this principle well and did not linger on this matter for too long.

She pulled Qin Mianxing over.

After the incident, the boy kept staring intently at Yan Huaishu. Given his youthful nature, it goes without saying that the viewers in the live stream had an excellent ability to fill in the blanks.

—Great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me!

Qin Chaoyue said, "The home-based tutoring I mentioned earlier is unnecessary."

As the older sister, she naturally ruffled her younger brother's hair, messing up his beautiful locks.

But the boy no longer showed the guarded and sharp edge he had when they first met. He held back his words, calling out "Sister" under his breath, but his eyes sparkled as he looked back at his sister.

It's obvious that it can't be hidden.

Qin Chaoyue met her younger brother's eyes, chuckled, and a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes: "He's still a child, and he's a bit homesick."

The boy's cheeks were slightly flushed.

【Ugh, I regret it! Forget Yan Huaishu, I should have worn Jiang Lingye!!!】
