Chapter 200 He is the richest man

"Mr. Zhao, one last question!" Haicheng TV's leading actress Liu Mei smiled sweetly and said to the camera:

"Netizens are so enthusiastic! Everyone's curious. As a young, promising, and legendary business leader like you, your love life must be incredibly fulfilling too. We've received reliable information that you...have secretly married?"

The live camera instantly zoomed in on Zhao Chen's face! High-definition close-up!

Under the bright lights of the studio, Zhao Chen wore a perfectly tailored dark gray couture suit. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were deep and calm. A faint smile played at the corner of his mouth, and he showed no sign of panic at the sudden attack.

"Yes," he said, his voice carried clearly through the microphone, into the room and into every home. "I'm married."

boom--!

The barrage in the live broadcast room exploded instantly!

“What the hell!!!!!”

"He admitted it! He admitted it!!!"

"Ahhhhhh! Who is the mysterious richest woman?!!"

"I'm heartbroken, boohoo! But my brother is so handsome!"

Liu Mei was also stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the other party to admit it so straightforwardly. She immediately asked with professional excitement:

"Oh my god! This is explosive news! Can you...can you reveal who the lucky lady is? Netizens are going crazy!"

The camera locked onto Zhao Chen. He tilted his head slightly, his gaze seeming to penetrate the cold lens and look towards a warmer direction.

At that moment, all the cold and hard lines on his face that belonged to the "helmsman of Chenxing Group" softened instantly, like a glacier melting under the warm spring sun, and his eyes were so gentle that water could drip out of them.

"She..." Zhao Chen's voice deepened, carrying an almost devout warmth. "She is the most wonderful accident in my life. She is the whole meaning of my daily struggles."

He paused, and the smile on his lips deepened, with obvious sweetness and a hint of... "silly" that was incompatible with his status as the richest man?

"We met on a... well, a very traditional blind date."

Barrage: "??? Blind date???"

"A billionaire needs a blind date???"

"This script is wrong!"

"Then," Zhao Chen ignored the frenzy of the comments and immersed himself in memories, his tone a bit self-deprecating yet incredibly cherishing:

"She must have been fooled by my 'ordinary employee' persona and thought I was honest and reliable? So... she bravely married me in a flash."

"Flash marriage???"

"Ordinary employee???"

"Help! This Mary Sue plot has come true!"

Liu Mei opened her mouth slightly, her professional ethics almost breaking down: "Flash... flash marriage? Mr. Zhao, you mean..."

"Yes." Zhao Chen nodded calmly, his gaze refocusing on the camera, gentle but firm. "No grand wedding, no media coverage, just a simple agreement and two hearts... that want to be closer."

He raised his left hand, his movements graceful and natural, as if he was just adjusting his cuffs.

But the camera captured it keenly!

On the bony ring finger of his left hand, there was a platinum ring with an extremely simple design, which emitted a warm and restrained luster under the light!

The director reacted almost instinctively! The camera zoomed in! A close-up of the ring filled the entire screen! The image was so high-definition that you could clearly see the tiny diamonds circling the ring like stars, and even the faintly visible tiny inscriptions on the inner ring!

"Wow!" Liu Mei couldn't help but exclaimed, pointing at the big screen, "Ring! The ring on Mr. Zhao's hand!"

The entire studio was instantly in an uproar! The staff couldn't help but look at the big screen!

Zhao Chen looked at the ring on his ring finger, gently stroking the band with his fingertips. His eyes were more focused and gentle than when he was reading the documents of a billion-dollar merger and acquisition case.

"This ring," he said, looking up at the camera, as if speaking to the stunned girl behind the screen, his voice clear and affectionate, "was designed by my wife. She said... it's better to keep it simple, comfortable, and won't get in the way when I'm cooking or washing dishes."

"Cooking and washing dishes???"

"The wife of a multi-billionaire washes the dishes herself???"

"What kind of fairy tale love is this! It's both down-to-earth and inhumane!"

"What a tasteful design! Simple and elegant!"

“Plop!”

On the sofa in the owner's house of Shiba Inu Villa, the bag of potato chips in Yu Ling's hand fell to the ground, and the potato chips were scattered all over the floor.

She opened her mouth and stared with her eyes wide open, staring at the infinitely magnified close-up of the ring on the TV screen, as well as Zhao Chen's incredibly gentle and handsome face!

Flash marriage? Blind date? Ordinary employee?

He he he… told it all?!

"Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!"

Her phone was vibrating like crazy! It was instantly flooded with messages and call notifications! The screen froze!

Lidya Su’s video request squeezed in stubbornly!

"Lingzi!!! Holy shit! Holy shit! Your Zhao Chen is going crazy! The whole internet is going crazy!" Su Xiao was so excited on the other side of the screen that he was talking incoherently:

"Live! He's live! He admitted it! He admitted it all! Ahhh! The ring! He said you designed it! He said you cooked and washed the dishes! The whole internet is digging you up! You're famous! Mrs. Shiba Inu!"

Yu Ling's head was buzzing. Lidya Su's scream seemed to come from far away. She was watching the TV. Zhao Chen was still talking.

"...So," Zhao Chen's gaze seemed to penetrate the camera again, landing precisely on her, with infinite attachment and apology, "Lingling, I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you for so long."

He paused slightly, his voice trembling slightly, yet it was transmitted clearly throughout the world:

"But loving you is real every day. Will you... marry me again?"

The moment the words fell!

“Bang! Bang, bang, bang—!”

The studio ceiling suddenly opened! Countless gorgeous, dewy red rose petals rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour! They fluttered down, landing on Zhao Chen's hair and shoulders, enveloping him in an extremely romantic shower of flowers!

The background music plays at the right time, melodious and affectionate.

The camera switches to a panoramic shot! A close-up! Zhao Chen stands in a dreamy shower of roses, a petal stained on his gold-rimmed glasses. He smiles slightly, his gaze tenderly yet firmly fixed on Yu Ling, who is off-screen.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh——!” The comments in the live broadcast room went completely crazy! The server was on the verge of collapse!

Liu Mei covered her mouth, her eyes red with emotion: "Oh my God... so romantic! Mr. Zhao..."

"Sorry, it's time for the live broadcast." Zhao Chen regained his composure at this moment. He raised his hand to brush away the petals on his glasses and nodded slightly at the camera. "My wife is timid and right now... she must be scared. I have to go back and comfort her."

He stood up with quick and decisive movements, without any reluctance. Amidst the falling rose rain, the director's frantic switching and Liu Mei's exclamations before she could stop him, he turned around and strode down the stage!

His back was straight and his steps were firm, with an urgency and sense of rightness as if “even if the sky falls, I have to go home to comfort my wife first”.

"Bang!"

Yu Ling dropped the remote control. She watched Zhao Chen disappear at the end of the corridor, and watched the screen full of crazy scrolling comments and trending search terms:

#Billionaire Zhao Chen is married# Breaking news!

#Zhao Chen’s blind date and flash marriage# Breaking news!

#Wedding ring designed by the wife of the richest man# Explosive!

#Zhao Chen goes home to coax his wife# Explosive!

Her brain completely shut down.
