Everyone acted on their own, and Ji Yan and Li Fan withdrew early, sitting aside to watch the show.
Yun Xiaoxiao faced Lu Chuan, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly dashed off the stage, failing to hold his hand. Lu Chuan was not surprised; there was still plenty of time to take things slowly.
Undoubtedly, the center of attention in the crowd was Yun Zhi Yue. Two gentlemen in formal attire stood there, making everyone else seem dull in comparison. Dressed in a strapless pure white gown, her waistline accentuated by the fabric, Yun Zhi Yue exuded an icy elegance. Her long hair was elegantly styled, adorned with exquisite pearl earrings, and her makeup was perfectly balanced, radiating a comfortable laziness amidst her cool demeanor that truly caught the eye.
As the two men approached Yun Zhi Yue, Han Ling, who rarely appeared with Nie Yi, was determined not to give up easily. She boldly picked up a rose from one of the gentlemen and stood beside Nie Yi, summoning her courage to say, "I like you, not because of your status. Don’t you remember? You saved me when we were kids."
"It doesn’t matter; I don’t remember anything. You’re nothing to me," Nie Yi coldly interrupted. The rose fell from Han Ling’s hand as her dignity crumbled; she stood there choking back tears.
Online, the criticism was relentless; Nie Yi’s villainous persona was firmly established. To be honest, Yun Zhi Yue felt a bit of sympathy for Han Ling. She thought it foolish to be so stubborn—like trying to wake a bull with sheer force. Yet in reality, Han Ling's situation was far better than hers.
Not intending to engage in any hand-holding antics, Yun Zhi Yue ignored the two men waiting for results and patted Han Ling on the shoulder before preparing to leave the stage.
Suddenly, her arm was grabbed forcefully. Before she could turn around to see who it was, she was yanked back hard, her chin pinched painfully—her lip petals lost their composure.
The online audience erupted: "Oh my god!" "What the heck!" "Is this world surreal?" "Damn, that’s some strong love! So intense!" "Ahhh! Our moon's first kiss on screen!"
The Reincarnation Stone joined in on the excitement: "Kiss him! Your affection level will rise; you can’t just let it slide, Yun Zhi Yue! French kiss him!"
Nie Yi's pupils constricted as he watched Yun Zhi Yue being forcefully kissed right under his nose; he felt like he was about to explode.
"You’re asking for trouble!"
With a crushing grip, the palm of his hand was squeezed into a fist, but before he could react, Zhang Song and a group of people pinned him down and forcibly dragged him away.
Nie Yi could maintain his presence online, but only as long as he didn’t cause too much of a stir. There was always room for maneuvering in private, but openly live-streaming an assault was clearly out of the question; that person would never allow it.
Yun Xiaoxiao had one hand gripping Lu Chuan's thigh and the other twisting Ji Yan's arm, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Isn’t this just an act? How can you really kiss? Are you too deep into your role?"
Ji Yan broke free from her grasp, his face contorted in pain. "If you want to act, go pinch yourself! Maybe you're just dreaming; get some sleep."
Yun Zhi Yue’s gaze remained locked with Jian Qinzhi’s. At such a close distance, she couldn’t see his expression, but she could sense his delight. Feeling his intent to invade her personal space, she forcefully pushed him away and turned to leave.
Jian Qinzhi was indeed bold; he actually kissed her right in front of Nie Yi, which was far worse than she had anticipated. It was true that when the clam and the snipe fought, it was the fisherman who benefited, but one wrong step could easily put her in a position where both sides would squeeze her.
Once the recording ended, she had no intention of returning to the Jian Family. Given Jian Qinzhi’s current attitude, there was no need for her to get too close. After a quick tidy-up at the hotel, Yun Zhi Yue slipped away without a trace.
Meanwhile, Lu Chuan, Yun Xiaoxiao, Ji Yan, and Jian Qinzhi were leaving the hotel together when suddenly a black sports car came barreling toward them without any sign of slowing down.
