The next morning, Assistant Li parked the car in front of the villa on time.

He had just picked up his phone to check the time.

He looked up and froze—

Then, President Xie and Yan Ning walked out side by side.

The two held hands.

Xie Huaiye tilted his head slightly to listen to Yan Ning speak.

A rare, gentle smile graced his lips.

Assistant Li quickly got out of the car and opened the door.

My eyes couldn't help but dart towards their clasped hands:

"Mr. Xie... what's going on here...?"

Xie Huaiye chuckled softly and generously raised the hand he was holding:

"Yan Ning is my girlfriend now."

Yan Ning's ear tips turned slightly red, but she did not break free.

"Okay, great!"

Assistant Li nodded hastily, his mind already in turmoil.

Workaholic CEO Xie is actually in a relationship?!

Good heavens, is this really the same Mr. Xie I know?

After getting on the bus.

Xie Huaiye naturally helped Yan Ning fasten her seatbelt.

"Ningning."

He asked softly, looking at Yan Ning expectantly, "When are we going to make it official?"

Yan Ning looked up at him, her eyelashes trembling slightly:

"Official announcement? Isn't that too fast? Maybe we should wait a bit longer."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Xie Huaiye's eyes, but he still nodded gently:

"Okay, whatever you say."

He crept closer, lowering his voice:

"At least... I can hold hands a little longer in private, right?"

Yan Ning couldn't help but laugh and gave a soft "hmm".

At that moment, Assistant Li, who was waiting at a red light, couldn't help but peek through the rearview mirror.

He was surprised to find that...

The usually aloof CEO Xie was actually secretly hooking Yan Ning's little finger with his own and swaying it back and forth!

Xie Huaiye keenly noticed his gaze, immediately glared at him, and said sternly:

"What are you looking at?"

"I...I didn't see anything..."

Assistant Li was so frightened that he quickly sat up straight.

I almost scratched the steering wheel.

Yan Ning was amused by their little actions and quietly nudged Xie Huaiye's arm:

"Don't scare Assistant Li."

Xie Huaiye patted Yan Ning's hand, "Don't worry, I was just teasing him."

Not long after, they arrived at the recording site.

The two walked side by side into the preparation area. The live stream had already started, and the chat exploded with comments.

【Ahhh Ningning!! Young Master Xie!! You've finally arrived!!】

[This is the last episode, I'm so sad to say goodbye... waaaaah...]

[Could we record a few more episodes? I'll miss it so much!]

Ningning seems even more beautiful now. Has something happy happened recently?

At this time, the other guests also arrived one after another.

Su Muyao immediately spotted Yan Ning and Xie Huaiye standing side by side.

She paused, her eyes instantly turning cold.

He almost crushed the mineral water bottle in his hand.

"Oh, everyone's here?"

The host, Zhou Tian, ​​walked out with a smile, saying, "Time flies so fast; it's the last episode in the blink of an eye."

He looked around and continued, "For this last stop, we're going on a desert adventure! We'll be hiking to find the ancient city in the heart of the desert."

"A week-long treasure hunt will unfold there! The ultimate winner will take home an 80 million dollar prize!"

"Really? Eighty million! Teacher Zhou, you can't be lying!"

Sun Wuji's eyes widened as he spoke, counting on his fingers:

"That's how many zeros there are..."

Qi Minghao wiped his sweat while muttering to himself:

"Desert? Is it the kind of desert I know that's hot and dry, where you get a mouthful of sand after every few steps, and where you can freeze to death at night?"

"Has the production team finally gone mad? Are we really not going to turn into dried-up human flesh while walking? I'm telling you, Teacher Zhou..."

Zhou Tian interrupted him, both amused and exasperated:

"Don't worry, we have professional guides and all safety measures are in place."

The bus prepared by the production team slowly drove over.

Along the way, Sun Wuji was excitedly calculating how to use the 80 million.

Qi Minghao, meanwhile, searched online with great concern.

Questions arose regarding whether there were snakes in the desert, the possibility of getting lost, and whether there was enough water.

The car bumped along the desert highway for almost three hours.

It finally stopped.

As soon as the car door opened, a wave of heat mixed with the blinding sunlight rushed in.

"My God!"

Qi Minghao was the first to exclaim, "What's the difference between this and opening an oven door? Are we here to go on an adventure or to bake bread?"

At that moment, a young man with dark skin, wearing a vest with ethnic patterns, came up to greet them with a smile.

He flashed a bright white smile and said:

"Welcome everyone, I'm your guide, Basha! I'll be leading you on a journey to find the desert city!"

Sun Wuji squatted down as soon as he got out of the car.

He grabbed a handful of sand, squinted at it closely, and muttered to himself:

"This sand is so shiny... could it contain gold? Will taking a bag home bring me wealth?"

Basha was amused: "This is yellow sand, not gold sand."

"However, the treasures in our desert are much more interesting than gold!"

Su Muyao wore a wide-brimmed hat and large sunglasses, and elegantly applied sunscreen.

She glanced at Yan Ning, who was speaking quietly to Xie Huaiye.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

The group followed Basha, wading into the desert with uneven steps.

The scenery in the desert is indeed spectacular.

The boundless sand dunes resembled solidified golden waves.

The sunlight streamed down, making everything sparkle.

Qi Minghao, panting, kept nagging:

"The scenery is beautiful... but I feel like we're walking on a giant sponge cake..."

Sun Wuji quickly interrupted him: "Stop talking! I'm starving!"
