The man's deep, magnetic voice, accompanied by the warmth of his breath, brushed against Gu Momo's ear in a ticklish, tingling sensation.

She felt as if her ears were on fire, and her heart was pounding for no reason.

This man... is he a walking embodiment of masculinity?

The shock in her eyes lasted only a moment. A charming smile flowed through her clear eyes as she secretly pressed her fingers against Li Zhanting's firm and powerful chest, keeping a finger's distance between them.

"Mr. Ting, if you get this close to me, people will misunderstand."

Her clear, spring-like eyes held a deep, serene smile, yet remained utterly devoid of emotion, causing Li Zhanting's eyes to narrow slightly.

He moved closer again, his imposing figure casting Gu Momo into his shadow. "Gu Momo, there are some things I think you understand better than I do."

Gu Momo chuckled softly, "Of course I know. I know perfectly well that Mr. Ting won't like me, and I know perfectly well that Mr. Ting has a woman he likes. So Mr. Ting, you don't need to waste your time on me at all, and besides..."

A beautiful smile curved at the corner of her delicate eyes. "Men are like rotten grass and mud to me, utterly useless."

To reiterate, he wasn't there when she needed him five years ago;

Five years later, she was in complete control of everything, and men were indeed of little use to her.

Li Zhanting's dark eyes flashed with an ambiguous light, his gaze stinging at her indifferent eyes.

Men are of no use to her.

So what exactly is he in her heart?

At that moment, the two were so close that they could hear each other breathing.

But Li Zhanting felt that the two were separated by two long centuries.

The two spoke so closely, and with the surrounding soothing music and soft lighting, they looked like a loving couple whispering sweet nothings.

The Rong family elders were so angry they wanted to tear Li Zhanting away from Gu Momo!

Is Li Zhanting some kind of clingy pest? They haven't even warmed Momo up yet, and he's already thinking of taking her away?

The guests at the scene and the viewers in the live broadcast room went wild, and countless comments flooded the screen!

"Holy crap... Am I blind? Master Ting is actually getting close to a woman?!"

"Mr. Ting! What happened to your aloofness and indifference to women? How did you fall for this young lady from the Rong family?"

"Waaaaah, I didn't believe the rumors about Mr. Ting and Miss Rong just now, but now it's all out in the open, okay? Sisters, I declare that we've all collectively broken up!"

"But why is this Miss Rong wearing a mask? I'd also like to know what kind of person could win over Master Ting!"

"..."

Gu Momo's eyes sparkled with a charming smile. She casually turned her gaze away and addressed the reporters:

"Everyone, let's call it a day."

"Also, to prevent any misunderstandings, I would like to make this statement: my relationship with Mr. Ting has indeed caused a misunderstanding. The media should not speculate. I will not marry Mr. Ting, nor will I have any feelings for him. As for Ling'er..."

Everyone: Huh?

The melon in my hand suddenly stopped smelling sweet. How did such a big melon suddenly become a misunderstanding?

Just then, Li Qingling's sweet and childlike voice rang out, "But if Mommy and Daddy's relationship is really a misunderstanding, then was Ling'er born from a stone?"

Everyone lowered their heads.

Li Qingling tilted her soft, adorable head obediently towards the camera, her chubby little face showing a hint of confusion, making her look like a cute little dumpling on camera.

"But that's not right. Ling'er definitely didn't spring from a stone, so when will Mommy be honest for once?"

Gu Momo: ? ? ? ?

Her fingers clenched involuntarily, and her palms became slightly sweaty. What was going on?

Her little cotton-padded jacket let in the wind twice!

Li Zhanting silently gave his little darling a thumbs up, "Ling'er, well done!"

Li Qingling's few words instantly aroused the curiosity of countless viewers.

Holy crap! So it turns out that Tingye was the one who got dumped?

Damn... just who is this Miss Rong?

The man every woman in the capital dreams of sleeping with, Master Ting, she dumped him just like that?

The affair between Li Zhanting and Gu Momo has caused a media storm. Topics such as "Master Ting's wife exposed" and "Master Ting was dumped" have risen to the top of Weibo's trending topics at an astonishing speed, with three consecutive "hot" topics!

The online comment section was even more heated:

"Who exactly is this young lady from the Rong family? Where does she get the audacity to be so arrogant?"

"Exactly! Who does she think she is, daring to refuse Master Ting? I think she's just throwing a tantrum like a little woman."

"I've seen this kind of woman's tricks a million times. Isn't it just playing hard to get? She just wants to enjoy the thrill of being chased by Master Ting! Ha, what a hypocrite, I wonder how smug she is inside!"

"Upstairs! How can you talk like that? I support Miss Rong!"

"Exactly! Who says that just because Mr. Ting is of noble status, he can make demands on women? Marriage is a matter between two people, isn't it? Even if Li Zhanting has billions in assets, if a woman doesn't like him, can he force her?"

"Exactly! I just think Miss Rong is really cool!"

"Support only love! Support Miss Rong!"

"..."

The reporter on site was so excited when he saw the explosive news online that his legs almost went weak.

Nicholas Tse truly lives up to his reputation as a top celebrity; the news he releases from just one banquet is equivalent to that of dozens of super-popular stars!

Gu Momo's face beneath the mask was tinged with indifferent coldness. She turned around with an air of authority, "Let's call it a day for today. All media, please leave!"

What a cunning Li Zhanting! He actually used this trick to force her to admit it!

If Li Zhanting seizes the high ground in public opinion, he will have all the right to control the future!

"MoMo..." Seeing that Gu MoMo's tone was off, the Rong family members hurriedly followed her with concern. "Should I go and throw this brat out?"

Gu Momo chuckled, "Uncle, don't worry. My makeup is a little light. I'll go and put on some more makeup."

After saying that, Gu Momo lifted her foot and strode off toward the restroom with an air of aloofness.

She was so frustrated that she needed to wash her face!

Li Zhanting's deep gaze was fixed on Gu Momo's back.

His fingers clenched nervously in his pocket, his brow furrowed, and after a moment, he quietly followed them when no one was looking.
