Jing Yu's response was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples that turned into waves. The audience below erupted into a buzz of chatter, whispers rising and falling like the tide towards the stage. The barrage of comments in the live stream exploded, flooding the screen with a dense stream of messages.
Jing Yu turned his gaze to Hai Tang, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection. His deep-set gaze seemed to hold the vastness of stars and oceans, but at this moment, it reflected only Hai Tang.
He took her hand, gently caressing the ring at the base of her middle finger. The warmth from his fingertips seeped through her skin, reaching deep into her heart. His touch was so delicate, as if he were handling a precious work of art, afraid that he might shatter it with a careless move.
With a hint of grievance in his voice, he asked, “Don’t you like the ring I gave you? Why aren’t you wearing it?” His voice was low and magnetic, resonating throughout the live stream and striking a chord in Hai Tang's heart.
Her heart skipped a beat, warmth flooding through her body. An indescribable mix of sweetness and bitterness intertwined within her, leaving her almost breathless.
This ring was given to her by Jing Yu a month ago. That day, as the sun set and the evening glow painted half the sky red, he knelt on one knee, holding out the dazzling diamond ring and proposing to her with deep sincerity.
She had agreed but hadn’t put on the ring immediately. She was afraid—afraid that it was all just a dream, and when she woke up, everything would return to square one. She feared losing it all, terrified that this sudden happiness would shatter like a bubble.
Now, under the watchful eyes of many and amidst millions of fans' attention, Jing Yu brought up the ring again, enveloping her in an unprecedented sense of security and happiness. She finally understood that Jing Yu's love was genuine, steadfast, and something she could rely on.
The camera zoomed in on Hai Tang's ring—a delicate diamond piece featuring a main stone weighing two carats, surrounded by a circle of smaller diamonds that sparkled brilliantly under the lights like the brightest star in the night sky.
The live stream erupted in excitement.
“Oh my gosh, it’s really a diamond ring! What a huge stone!”
“Jing Yu actually proposed to Hai Tang! How romantic!”
"Yu Baixue's face must be swollen!"
"This twist is too fast! I can barely keep up!"
The barrage of comments flew like snowflakes, a mix of astonishment, blessings, doubts, and mockery intertwining to elevate the atmosphere of the livestream to a climax.
Hai Tang's heart was filled with sweetness and joy. She lifted her head to look at Jing Yu, her eyes brimming with affection. She gently nodded, responding to Jing Yu's love with her gaze.
Yu Baixue's complexion turned even paler as she bit her lower lip tightly, struggling to control the emotions threatening to overwhelm her. She felt as if her world was collapsing, all her pride and confidence shattered into pieces.
She never expected that Jing Yu would publicly reveal their relationship during the livestream, and in such a manner. She had thought she was the leading lady of this broadcast, Jing Yu's legitimate girlfriend, only to realize she was merely a ridiculous supporting character, a tool being used.
She felt like a clown, ridiculed and mocked by everyone. She wanted to escape, to flee from this suffocating place, but she found herself unable to move, forced to watch everything unfold before her eyes.
The number of viewers in the livestream continued to rise, reaching its limit.
The server struggled under the load, starting to lag. The picture flickered intermittently, and the sound became muffled.
Seeing this, the host immediately announced a pause in the livestream for technical adjustments.
Hai Tang and Jing Yu stood hand in hand at the center of the stage, quietly enjoying this moment of tranquility. The bustling stage seemed to transform into their exclusive little world.
Hai Tang knew that from this moment on, her life would undergo a tremendous change.
She was no longer the unnoticed little actress, but the fiancée of Jing Yu, a woman about to marry into a wealthy family.
Taking a deep breath, she felt the warmth of Jing Yu's palm, her heart filled with anticipation and longing for the future.
