In another location, the atmosphere maintained an eerie silence since MC and Lani bid farewell to their audience and ended the live stream.Ryan stealthily observed Kane, swallowing nervously, silently offering an explanation."It seems the money you deposited for donating to Lani must wait until her next livestream to be utilized; she has already concluded today's session."Ryan thought witnessing Kane throw a punch earlier was shock enough, but little did he expect his boss to add another layer of surprise.This afternoon, engrossed in work, Ryan received a call from Kane, urgently summoning him to his office. Kane didn't even wait for his laptop to shut down before rushing in, anticipating an urgent contract or project. To his surprise, Kane was sitting on the desk, intently watching a live stream of some celebrity on an iPad, asking with grave seriousness, "Do you know how to donate on a livestream?"Upon inquiry, it turned out that after watching Lani's livestream, Kane found Kaz
The next day, Lani was roused early by a call from Aurora, reluctantly leaving her bed to prepare for the day's shoot at the studio. When Lani sat up, Kane enveloped her in a gentle embrace, his fingers softly running through her hair."Do you have to go to work already?" he asked.Today, Lani had to wake up earlier than usual for the game show shoot, and she wasn't quite as alert. She nodded in a daze, giving Kane a light kiss before getting up and heading to the bathroom to brush her teeth.Taking her time changing clothes, which took an extra fifteen minutes, Lani finally stepped out the door and settled into her familiar car."Good morning, Aurora," she greeted.Before Lani could say more, she stifled a yawn, expressing her dissatisfaction with the early morning shoot. Aurora greeted her back and handed her a warm sandwich. The car was en route to the small countryside where the filming was taking place, and with plenty of time on the journey, Aurora seized the opportunity to chat
After forming a team, the trio's mission was to till the soil for vegetable cultivation. For a group with two girls, this task proved exceptionally challenging, prompting a wave of sympathy from fans of both."Poor Hebe. Her delicate, youthful skin – I wonder if that wooden hoe will leave any scratches on her hands?""Lani, on the other hand, with her slender figure, must be struggling with the assigned task. The program organizers truly have given them an authentic taste of rural life.""But Daisy and Amory's team isn't faring any better. They have to split firewood to fuel the cooking fire for five people. In this day and age, using a traditional stove seems almost archaic. My parents might not have even used one."Indeed, the challenges faced by Lani's team were formidable, but the other group wasn't faring any differently. The current comments expressed astonishment at the program's cruelty, arranging grueling tasks for the participants.Upon reaching the task site, Kazuma, recogn
After finishing the soil tilling, they worked together to sow the seeds. Kazuma took charge of watering at the back, while Lani and Hebe were responsible for sowing the seeds at the front.During the work, Hebe always intentionally stood next to Lani, using a soft voice to make teasing remarks."Didn't expect to run into you here. What a bad luck. Earlier, you deliberately agreed to work with Kazuma and stood near him, leaving me alone in a corner. Was that on purpose?""You wicked person, no wonder Amory finds you annoying."Hebe wanted to use provocative words to make Lani angry, but it was ineffective. Lani just raised an indifferent eyebrow, uttered a nonchalant "hmm," and continued focusing on sowing the seeds."Are you deaf? Do you want to hear what your ex-boyfriend has to say about you? Amory has said a lot.""He said you only know how to pretend to be noble, always acting superior to others, making people nauseous.""He also said your personality is blander than plain water,
After a passionate kiss, Kane held Lani for a while before heading to the bathroom for a quick shower. He then descended to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Although Lani wanted to lend a hand in the kitchen, the sweet memory of the lingering kiss and the intimate atmosphere from moments ago made her shy.She sat on the sofa, pretending to be at ease while watching a movie. "Let's eat," Kane announced.While Lani was engrossed in the TV, Kane suddenly appeared from behind, wrapping his arms around her. His warm breath, carrying a faint scent of mint, enveloped Lani, creating a familiar and pleasant aroma."Do you need me to carry you?" Kane whispered into Lani's ear, causing her face to blush rapidly. Lani's response was hesitant, reflecting the inner turmoil she was experiencing."No, it's not necessary. I can manage on my own," Lani stammered.Despite sensing Lani's hesitation, Kane playfully teased her. Without warning, he scooped her up and carried her towards the kitchen, each step
When Kane arrived, he found Lani and Aurora sitting in a corner surrounded by scattered wine bottles. The two were talking and laughing.He overheard Aurora teasingly saying, "Men are all scoundrels, Lani. That guy who called you earlier must be a scoundrel. Block his phone number later."Lani nodded, seeming to be intoxicated and only giggling."That's right, there's no good man out there. They're all either stupid or cheaters."Kane hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to approach or not. After a few seconds of indecision, he helplessly walked over to Lani, gently supporting her against his shoulder and tenderly stroking her hair."Lani, let's go home; it's getting late," he suggested softly.Lani blinked, tilting her head to look at Kane with curiosity. "Who are you? Do we know each other?"Kane sighed in frustration, carefully holding Lani tighter as she was about to fall onto the sofa, explaining, "Yes, we're very close. I'm your husband, and I've come to take you home."At thi
Lani was kissed into a blissful daze, only recalling the need to call Aurora when Kane got out of bed to prepare a fresh breakfast. Aurora's voice on the other end quickly picked up, its tone light and cheerful as if yesterday's tears and pain were mere illusions."Awake now, Lani? Anything bothering you?"Lani hesitated before responding, still a bit bashful."And how about you? Feeling more relaxed today?""Want to go shopping to lift your spirits? Go ahead, I'll foot the bill."Lani spoke generously, eliciting a laugh from Aurora. She shook her head, showcasing an adept ability to regulate Aurora's emotions. After a day, the atmosphere had become much more comfortable."No need. Stay at home and nurture the bond with your husband.""Oh, right. Yesterday, besides Kane, did anyone come to pick us up? I vaguely remember being brought home by a very handsome man, helping with hotel reservations, even carefully covering me with a blanket.."As Aurora voiced these thoughts, she wasn't en
A few days later, Aurora proved true to her words and vigorously pursued Ryan. Every day, she persistently texted and initiated conversations with Ryan, often using the excuse of wanting to thank him for escorting them to the hotel to invite him for meals.Lani heard Aurora's tales of this love pursuit every day and had grown accustomed to Aurora's complaints."Ryan is such a cold and boring person. I've made lunch appointments with him multiple times, and he always uses work as an excuse, claiming he has to stay late.""If he wasn't pretending to be busy to reject me, then his boss must be a dictator, giving him an enormous workload."Aurora didn't know how to comfort Lani, so they both lay on the sofa cursing Ryan's boss."Who knows, maybe his boss assigns lots of tasks to Ryan. Being a secretary comes with a heavy workload, and having a boss too demanding will surely make him too busy for lunch."Feeling somewhat comforted, Aurora began to speak."Right, Ryan's boss must be awful,
