A week later, at the brand event, Mao Yixuan stood at the center of the stage, facing countless flashing lights and attentive gazes.
"Today, I want to say more than just work." He smiled slightly, his eyes scanning the crowd below before finally locking onto mine.
"Han Xiao, no matter what has happened in the past, I just want you to know that you are the most important person in my heart."
The venue fell into silence, all eyes shifting between us.
My heart raced, tears welling up uncontrollably in my eyes. Mao Yixuan's gaze was gentle yet resolute.
"Today, I am here hoping you will accept my confession."
Cheers erupted instantly. I stood at the foot of the stage, tears blurring my vision.
Everything seemed to be heading in a positive direction.
However, just when we thought the storm had settled, an anonymous letter quietly arrived at Mao Yixuan's office.
Inside the envelope was a single line— "This is just the beginning."
Mao Yixuan's expression turned serious. He handed me the letter, and my fingers trembled slightly.
"What does this mean?" I whispered.
"It seems our troubles are far from over," he said, his voice low yet filled with alertness.
The night was deep, and Mao Yixuan and I returned to the office, beginning our pursuit of the truth behind the anonymous letter. After several days of investigation, we uncovered that the public attacks were part of a meticulously orchestrated conspiracy.
"Li Ce?" I was shocked to see a suspicious journalist conversing with Li Ce in a café, handing over a document. Mao Yixuan's expression turned icy. "It seems his involvement is not coincidental."
A heavy weight settled in my heart. The man I once loved recklessly had become the mastermind behind my defamation.
Back in the car, the atmosphere was thick with tension. I struggled to remain calm, but felt as if my world was collapsing. "Do you believe me when I say there's nothing between us?" I asked softly.
Mao Yixuan tightened his grip on the steering wheel, remaining silent for a moment before replying quietly, "I know you and he are no longer involved... but sometimes, I can't help but think about it."
His words pierced my heart like a knife. "If there's no trust left, what do we have between us?" I suppressed the pain within, my eyes reddening as I fought back tears.
"Han Xiao..." he began, unsure of how to continue. I looked out the window, silently resolving that no matter how difficult it would be, I would expose Li Ce and the conspiracy behind him.
The next day, Mao Yixuan and I met with our agent, A Yong, to plan our operation to reveal this conspiracy. Under our arrangement, the corrupt journalist's transaction records were leaked, and the video evidence we had was published on social media.
"Their plan is to completely destroy us," Mao Yixuan said quietly, his expression grim.
At the press conference, I stood under the spotlight, facing countless reporters. "This is the truth, not some fabricated story you’ve conjured," I stated calmly as I raised the evidence and played the video that exposed the transaction between the journalist and Li Ce.
"So between Mao Yixuan and me, there is only honesty," I declared, my voice resolute.
The room fell silent for a moment, and then the camera flashes began to go off one after another. Public opinion shifted instantly, and the crowd's attitude turned friendly and supportive.
Just when we thought everything was finally over, Mao Yixuan's phone suddenly vibrated. A new message popped up: "This isn't over yet; I still have one last card to play."
The video quickly spread across the internet. The image was blurry, but it showed me and Li Ce seemingly engaged in an intimate interaction. The comments section exploded, and rumors surged like a tidal wave.
Mao Yixuan stared at the phone screen, his expression complex and cold. "This is fake; I don't know what's going on," I explained anxiously.
He remained silent for a few seconds before his gaze softened. "I know; it's not your fault."
That night, Mao Yixuan called an emergency team meeting and decided to proactively disclose the company's financial statements and operational details. "We can't be passive anymore; transparency is the only way to break their rumors," he said calmly and firmly.
"We'll face this together." He took my hand, his eyes unwavering.
Gradually, the storm subsided, and public sentiment shifted completely. I finally felt a sense of relief under the immense pressure.
However, during a routine check-up, the doctor handed me a report. "Congratulations, you're pregnant."
