Xuan Sheng confronted the woman calling herself Sheng Yi about her true name, but she steadfastly refused to reveal it. As they walked arm-in-arm under envious gazes, staff recalled over a decade of his unwavering devotion to her severely disabled form, marked by countless surgeries and annual public proposals that evolved from shock to public blessings. She lamented his choice of her, yet he attributed his persistence to a brave and silly girl who taught him perseverance.

Upon hearing Xuan Sheng's words, Sheng Yi's heart thumped hard. She gazed intently into Xuan Sheng's eyes. Moments later, she abruptly declared, "CEO Xuan, your liking has never changed."

The sparkle in a man's eyes when he adores someone cannot be concealed. Even after Xia Wanyuan vanished for so many years, Xuan Sheng's gaze brightened at the sound of her name.

She wasn't foolish at all. How could she fail to notice it?

Xuan Sheng offered no denial. A smile played on his lips. "I like her. From the first time I saw her, I liked her. She's irreplaceable."

"Then why?" Since she had long sensed this truth, Sheng Yi's heart remained steady as Xuan Sheng spoke those words.

"Because I want to protect you." Xuan Sheng peered into Sheng Yi's eyes. "Don't you want to stay by my side forever?"

Those words from Xuan Sheng shattered countless walls around Sheng Yi's heart. After a long pause of hesitation, she nodded. "Yes."

"Look, I have Xia Wanyuan in my heart, and it's impossible for me to marry anyone else. Even if you do me a favor and occupy this position, can't you??" Xuan Sheng stared directly at Sheng Yi. "How about it? Think about it??"

Having refused Xuan Sheng for over a decade, Sheng Yi wavered at last. "I'll think about it again."

"Okay." Xuan Sheng's peach blossom eyes curved charmingly. "I'll wait for you."

Meanwhile, in the city, the variety show's production team slumped together on the small bridge, faces full of gloom.

"Director, An Rao and her family headed off for hotpot. They mentioned watching the Lantern Festival tonight."

"Director, those kids went hiking and camping. They're bursting with energy. Our photographer's about to break down."

"Director, most importantly, I don't know where Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan went. We lost them."

Hearing the photographers' gripes, the director scratched his head in frustration.

The variety show's audience kept growing, yet the footage turned increasingly lackluster. Ninety percent of viewers tuned in for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan. With the main stars absent, what was left to capture?

Just as the director prepared to pack up the gear and head home, his phone buzzed suddenly. A message flashed on the screen.

The director glanced at it and sprang up in excitement. His abrupt movement was so forceful that he kicked the team's priciest camera straight into the lake.

The staff stared in shock. "Director?? What's wrong??"

The director waved them off, halting those diving in to retrieve the camera. "Buy tickets and come back to Beijing with me right now. Forget fishing out the camera—we're onto something huge. Soon, we'll afford a hundred of them, let alone one."

With those words, the director rushed away. The team exchanged bewildered looks before hurrying after him.

"Didn't the director call that new camera his baby last night?? Wasn't he the one who slept hugging it??"

"We don't know either, and we don't dare ask. Let's hurry. I've never seen the director this thrilled—he's out of sight already."

Though the guests had scattered far and wide, the livestream remained open to all. Watching the director and crew dash off together, netizens tuning into the stream were left stupefied.

What happened???

As the whole internet scoured for Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, Beijing locals began sensing something amiss.

In just one night, the entire city's look had transformed.

An unmistakable red tint blanketed everywhere.
