"Long time no see, how have you been?" Chen Mo tried to squeeze out a smile, his tone tinged with awkwardness and discomfort.
He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, his hair meticulously styled, still resembling the successful man he used to be. But Lin Wan saw a hint of panic in his evasive eyes, a trace of the hypocrisy she once knew all too well and despised.
"I'm doing well now, thank you," Lin Wan replied lightly, turning her gaze to the camera and deliberately avoiding Chen Mo's eyes. "Welcome to my Live Streaming room. Today we have..."
"Wanwan, who is this..." Fans in the Live Streaming room noticed Chen Mo's presence and began flooding the chat with questions.
"An... old friend," Lin Wan paused for a moment, speaking calmly, though her hand gripping the mouse tightened unconsciously.
"Old friend? I didn't know you had such a handsome friend!"
"Wanwan, stop introducing products and tell us who this handsome guy is!"
"Get together! Get together!"
The chat in the Live Streaming room started to stir up excitement. Chen Mo's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a hint of pride. He cleared his throat and pretended to be casual as he said, "Hello everyone, I'm Lin Wan's... former friend. I happened to pass by here and saw her Live Streaming, so I came in to take a look."
"Pass by?" Lin Wan scoffed, feeling even more disgusted by Chen Mo's hypocrisy. "There aren't any office buildings around here, right? How would a big architect like you just happen to pass by my little Live Streaming room?"
Chen Mo's smile froze on his face; he hadn't expected Lin Wan to expose him in front of so many people.
"I..."
"Alright, we're not discussing anything else today; let's focus on the products," Lin Wan interrupted Chen Mo before he could continue, steering the conversation back to the Live Streaming. "This cream..."
"Lin Wan, you don't have to do this. We were once married..."
"Mr. Chen, we are divorced now; please watch your words," Lin Wan coldly interrupted him. "And I'm working right now; please do not disturb me."
"Working? Is this what you call work?" Chen Mo laughed as if he had heard a funny joke, his tone full of sarcasm. "Who was it that gave up their career for the family? Who stayed home doing laundry and cooking? Now you're out here trying to show off online..."
"Chen Mo!" Lin Wan suddenly stood up, cutting off Chen Mo mid-sentence as she flung her mouse onto the floor.
The Live Streaming room fell silent instantly; everyone was taken aback by Lin Wan's sudden outburst, and the chat paused for several seconds.
Chen Mo looked at Lin Wan, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly masked. He chuckled lightly, his tone filled with disdain, "What? Did I say something wrong? Aren't you doing all this for money? I can give it to you, so why bother..."
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the Live Streaming room as Chen Mo covered his face, staring at Lin Wan in disbelief.
"Chen Mo, you disgust me!" Lin Wan was furious, pointing towards the door and saying sharply, "Get out! You're not welcome here!"
Chen Mo wanted to say something more, but seeing Lin Wan's angry gaze and the barrage of "Get out" flooding the Live Streaming room, he ultimately said nothing and left in shame.
Lin Wan took a deep breath, trying to calm her agitated emotions as she bent down to pick up the mouse from the floor.
"I'm sorry everyone, about what just happened..."
"Lan Wan, are you okay?"
"Don't mind that jerk; we will always support you!"
"Lan Wan, you were so cool today! Sending you rockets!"
Before Lin Wan could finish her sentence, she was drowned out by a flood of comments. Looking at those warm words, her eyes couldn't help but become a bit misty.
"Thank you everyone, thank you for your understanding and support." Lin Wan wiped her eyes and returned to the camera, "Let's continue; this cream..."
The atmosphere in the Live Streaming room became even more lively due to the earlier incident. Lin Wan suppressed her inner turmoil and professionally introduced the product while interacting with her fans as if nothing had happened.
"This cream is something I use myself..." She picked up a jar of cream and showcased it to the camera. "Its texture is very delicate..."
As Lin Wan spoke, she squeezed some cream onto the back of her hand and gently spread it. Her skin was fair and delicate, radiating a healthy glow under the lights.
"Lan Wan, your skin looks amazing! Does this cream really have such good effects?"
"Lan Wan, how much is this cream? I want to buy it!"
"Lan Wan, link! Link!"
The comments in the Live Streaming room flooded again, and a smile of satisfaction appeared on Lin Wan's face.
"The link is now live, everyone can go take a look."
She knew that her sales today would definitely reach a new high.
And all of this was the result of her own hard work.

Just as Lin Wan was immersed in joy, a few discordant voices suddenly appeared in the comment section of the Live Streaming.
"I had an allergic reaction after using this cream. Wan Wan, are you selling fake products?"
"Me too! After using it, I developed a lot of rashes on my face, and now it's itchy and painful. Wan Wan, you need to give us an explanation!"
"I thought Wan Wan was very sincere during the Live Streaming, but I didn't expect her to deceive consumers. I'm so disappointed!"
Lin Wan looked at these comments, and the smile on her face gradually froze.
