Miao Linzhu squinted as she looked at her boyfriend.
She would turn on her boyfriend if he ever hid anything from her.
"Actually, my family is very rich." He touched his nose.
"Hmm. And then?" Miao Linzhu glanced at him.
So what if he's rich? No matter how rich his family is, they can't possibly be as rich as her.
"My dad and your dad are mortal enemies."
"Hmm?" Miao Linzhu's eyes narrowed instantly: "Armoral rival? So you're not surnamed Liang? But Huang? Huang Xiaodong?"
Seeing the sudden surge of danger emanating from Miao Linzhu, Huang Xiaodong almost cried.
He knew that once he told her his true identity, she would definitely be angry.
He wasn't ready at all, and he hadn't laid the groundwork properly before Zhang Tianle exposed everything. Now he felt like crying.
"Yes." Huang Xiaodong nodded with a mournful face. "Baby, you have to believe that my love for you is real. It's more real than gold. I was just afraid that you would distance yourself from me at first because of my status, and think that I had ulterior motives, so I..."
The viewers, always eager for drama, kept stirring things up in the comments.
This man is obviously unreliable. If he truly loved you, he would overcome countless obstacles to win you over, not resort to deception to gain your heart. This is clearly a game for the wealthy. Who knows, he might have started pursuing you by betting with a few friends how long it would take him to win you over? That's how it's portrayed on TV and in novels.
"Absolutely. This kind of love is inherently tainted with lies. A man like that can't possibly love genuinely. Break up with him. You're better off without a man like that."
The main message from viewers in the live stream was to persuade people to break up rather than accept a complete breakup.
Miao Linzhu glanced at the comments in the live stream, her eyes narrowing slightly. She turned to Huang Xiaodong and said, "Tell me. It's not like what the viewers in the live stream are saying, that you really did pursue me because you made a bet with your friends, just like in the novels, is it?"
Huang Xiaodong's face stiffened, and he quickly shook his head: "No! Absolutely not! Baby, don't overthink it. How could I have pursued you because of a bet? I was really attracted to you and fell in love with you after I returned to China and saw you take care of the scumbag who bullied your best friend at that banquet."
At this point, Huang Xiaodong almost swore an oath to the heavens.
"Wait!" Miao Linzhu frowned. "That banquet...it's Xiao Liu's boyfriend Mi Xinghai's banquet. You seem to be Mi Xinghai's good buddy, right? Humph! How good can you be if you're buddies with that kind of playboy? Break up!"
Miao Linzhu pointed to the front door: "Pack your things and get out of my house right now. I don't want to see you."
Huang Xiaodong knelt down in front of Miao Linzhu with a "thud": "Baby! Don't send me away, I really love you! You have to believe me! I absolutely, absolutely did not mean to lie to you! Look, I've even chosen the engagement ring for you."
Huang Xiaodong quickly took out a ring box from his pocket, opened it, and handed it to Miao Linzhu: "Baby, I really love you! Really! I originally planned to confess to you in a couple of days after I finished my project and made some preparations. After you said yes, I would tell you the truth! My purpose was to prevent you from leaving me!"
Huang Xiaodong choked up with emotion as he spoke.
Miao Linzhu's eyes flickered slightly. Thinking of how good Huang Xiaodong had been to her these past few days, she was somewhat moved by his words.
These days, Huang Xiaodong has been incredibly good to her.
Moreover, he would always appear immediately whenever she encountered hardship, just like her savior.
It's really hard for her not to love a man like that.
But the thought that this man had deceived her created a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't overcome.
“Baby, you know your dad and my dad are mortal enemies. If I hadn’t hidden my identity, you probably wouldn’t have let me get close to you in the first place, right? And you would have kept your distance from me, wouldn’t you? You know what I’ve done these past few days. You should be able to feel how sincere my love for you is.”
Is my sincere heart really worth less than a few words from netizens online?
Seeing that she was somewhat interested, Huang Xiaodong immediately stepped up his efforts.
Then he took a deep breath, pointed at the camera and advised her: "And even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe Master Zhang, right? Ask Master Zhang if my love for you is real."
As soon as Huang Xiaodong said this, Miao Linzhu also turned to look at Zhang Tianle.
"Master Zhang, please help me discern this. I don't know whether I should believe him or not. Is he truly my destined partner?"
As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Tianle, who was drawing talismans.
Zhang Tianle never expected that while he was just watching the drama unfold, everyone would hand over the choice of who would get the gossip to him.
Under Huang Xiaodong's pleading gaze, he stopped writing: "Don't you know in your heart whether he is your true love or not?"
Miao Linzhu fell silent.
She looked at the ring in Huang Xiaodong's hand, hesitated for a moment, and was about to reach out to take it. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Zhang Tianle and asked, "Master Zhang, is there anything else he is hiding from me?"
Huang Xiaodong immediately tensed up.
"For example, as netizens have mentioned, he made a bet with his friends that he could win you over before he started pursuing you. Does that count? It seems like there's nothing else besides that."
Upon hearing Zhang Tianle's words, Miao Linzhu's eyes widened slightly with anger, and she raised her hand to slap Huang Xiaodong.
Just as she was getting angry, Zhang Tianle slowly said, "But it's true that he fell in love with you at first sight. There's no doubt about that! Of course, there's another point, which is that he always appears whenever you're in danger. Don't you find that a bit strange? Because he has people following you, you could say he's gone to great lengths to pursue you."
"Huang Xiaodong!!!"
Miao Linzhu's eyes widened, and she roared, "You actually dared to send people to follow me! How dare you!"
Huang Xiaodong was almost in tears at that moment.
He was finally about to appease his girlfriend when Master Zhang's few words completely blew her away.
“Baby! I... I just care about you too much. That's why I did this. I really didn't mean anything by it. You know you're my first girlfriend, and I've always been a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to these things. I just wanted to make sure you were in danger, so I had someone follow you.”
In novels, it's always written that when the female lead is in danger, the male lead appears and wins her heart, and his affection for her skyrockets.
He had previously considered how to appear in time when the female lead was in danger, which is why he thought of having someone follow her and investigating Miao Linzhu's experiences.
