When Kane returned home in the afternoon, Lani happily recounted the story to him."Amory even wanted to use the money to buy me off. He dared to belittle you for being poor, thinking I must be struggling to support you, so I lack money.""He's truly ignorant. He has no idea what it's like to spend money on a husband who is both handsome and a good cook, like you."Lani joyfully spoke while nibbling on the strawberries that Kane handed to her. When she was with Kane, eating fruit didn't have to use her hands. Lani felt genuinely happy."Are you shooting the game show again tomorrow? Didn't you say earlier that the show was filming only two episodes?"After Lani announced her schedule, Kane wanted to plan a weekend date, going to the movies or simply strolling together. However, with the change in schedule, his plans were canceled."Yeah, the game show has high ratings, so the director wants to shoot a few more episodes. But I'm more comfortable being a guest now, as Hebe and Amory's s

"My mission is to call and say 'I love you' to my current boyfriend."Everyone exclaimed in excitement, seemingly surprised by the creative penalty proposed by the show's producers. For Lani, this was indeed troublesome. Although she no longer wanted to keep her relationship with Kane a secret as initially agreed and had no qualms about publicly acknowledging Kane as her husband, speaking sweet words like that in front of the camera felt awkward.Lani was embarrassed, glancing nervously into the distance and biting her lip. At this moment, she vaguely noticed Aurora sitting some distance away, giving her a reassuring blink."So, let's invite Lani to take on the challenge, and remember, no half-hearted attempts," a staff member reminded Lani before signaling her to start. She remembered something and asked Lani warmly, "By the way, do you have a new boyfriend?"Lani's troubles with her ex-boyfriend Amory were widely known, making it to the hot search rankings. Therefore, the staff bein

On that evening, as promised, Lani and Kane ventured to the cinema to catch a screening of a trending romantic film. Both donned hats and masks, holding hands as they entered the theater. Lani instinctively shielded her face whenever someone passed by; fame had elevated her visibility, making casual outings more challenging.Now more recognized than before, stepping outside meant encountering fans who would eagerly recognize her, seeking photos together. Casual strolls were no longer as carefree as they used to be. The two entered the movie hall, found their seats, and settled in for the romantic film. Despite the occasional interruptions from eager fans, Lani and Kane remained focused on the screen.Lani seemed particularly enamored with the film, her gaze unwavering from start to finish, not missing a moment. Occasionally, she would lazily lean into Kane, finding comfort in the familiar gesture, her eyes fixed on the screen without a blink.From time to time, she would recline, rest

Lani no longer referred to Derek as her father, but Kane didn't press further. Kane embraced Lani, sitting up and encircling her in his arms, gently massaging her shoulders to make her feel more at ease."Did he ask you to do something for Hebe?" Kane inquired.Having experienced Hebe once calling Lani for questioning over the phone and requesting her to make a post explaining things, only to be rejected by Lani, Kane understood the personalities within her family. Selfish, cruel, and indifferent to Lani.In their eyes, Lani seemed to be a tool to help them achieve what they wanted. And when there was no favor to ask, they had no interest in Lani. Lani nodded without saying more, and Kane's gaze turned colder.Recently, enjoying sweet moments with Lani had caused Kane to forget about dealing with the troubles of her family, allowing Hebe and Derek to bully her.In the future, he would find a way to ensure they wouldn't have the time to bother Lani anymore."Stop being sad. What do you

As the evening descended, Lani and Kane sat on the sofa, engrossed in a movie. Kane, naturally, wasn't too keen on this activity.He stood up a few times, wanting to move around for more comfort, but Lani wouldn't allow it. She was adhering to the doctor's advice, instructing Kane not to move too much."I just have a sprained ankle, not a broken leg, so there's no need to worry," Kane explained in frustration multiple times, but Lani remained unyielding. Indeed, he felt helpless.This situation only fueled his growing resentment towards Hebe. If not for Hebe, he wouldn't have to sit still like this. A few days later, Lani postponed a few jobs to stay home and look after Kane, adjusting the shooting schedule for some advertisements. Meanwhile, a film Lani shot a year ago started airing on television. They watched it together every day after dinner.It was a romantic film, and Lani starred alongside an actor named Eric.In the film, Lani takes on the role of a highly skilled but aloof s
