Fake Pregnancy? Oops, It’s Real — and So Is the Husband - Chapter 11

[Director Miao really knows how to stir things up!]

[No need for this, the female guests already passed, and the male ones will probably do about the same.]

[Say what you will, but the ‘Lin-Sui CP’ is a sure win… zero suspense there.]

[I’m actually looking forward to it. Shen Lai’s success was clearly a fluke, and there’s no way CEO Pei will guess right this time.]

The same format as the previous round, order determined by drawing lots.

This time, Dai Jingxuan went first, followed by Yan Rui, Huo Chilin, and Pei Jingyan.

Just like Tong Miaoling’s earlier performance, given that the two had been married for seven years, Dai Jingxuan quickly identified the shark clip Tong Miaoling often wore through touch alone.

However, things didn’t go as smoothly for Yan Rui.

He sat there for a long time without moving, as if he couldn’t figure it out.

On camera, Wu Qi’s displeasure was impossible to hide.

[Could there really be trouble between these two?]

[Yan Rui’s always busy with concerts, his mind’s on his career. Isn’t it normal if he can’t guess?]

[Wu Qi’s a composer too, right? She still recognized Yan Rui’s stuff… it’s just a matter of effort.]

As the countdown ended, Yan Rui failed the task.

The result took everyone by surprise, sparking speculation about whether the rumors online were true that Yan Rui had been caught cheating by Wu Qi.

Maybe this couple really was over.

Next up was Huo Chilin. As the most popular male partner among the four guest couples, the moment he appeared, the barrage of comments nearly crashed the stream.

[I don’t know about the others, but Young Master Huo won’t have any issues!]

[Absolutely, Suisui and Young Master Huo clearly have a great relationship.]

[I think the director can just skip this pair. No matter who loses, it won’t be them!]

Fans of Bai Hansui and Huo Chilin’s CP were utterly confident. When Huo Chilin put on the blindfold, they flooded the chat with compliments like “so handsome, so manly, so sexy.”

“Young Master Huo, you may begin.”

As Director Miao’s countdown started, Huo Chilin began using his senses of smell and touch to identify Bai Hansui’s commonly used items.

Viewers in the livestream debated how many seconds Huo Chilin would take to complete the task.

Some guessed mere seconds, others half a minute.

In any case, fans unanimously believed Huo Chilin would be the fastest guest of the day.

But soon, comments pointed out something odd.

Huo Chilin’s brows were furrowed, his lips pressed into a tight line, as if he’d encountered a difficult problem.

[What’s going on? Can Young Master Huo not figure it out?]

[Why the rush? It’s only just started.]

[But Bai Hansui found his stuff faster than this. Weren’t they supposed to be close? Can’t he even recognize his own girlfriend’s things?]

Seeing their idol’s relationship questioned, CP fans immediately jumped to his defense.

[Young Master Huo is just being careful, he doesn’t want to give haters any ammunition.]

[Exactly, and Yan Rui already failed earlier. Young Master Huo is just saving face for him. Finishing too fast would be rubbing it in.]

[Young Master Huo is so considerate, wuwu.]

Despite the fans’ excuses, most of the time had already passed.

Director Miao timely reminded him, “Young Master Huo, one minute left.”

A faint sheen of sweat appeared on Huo Chilin’s forehead.

He genuinely didn’t know which item belonged to Bai Hansui.

After hesitating, he finally pointed to the object on his right. “It should be this one.”

[Haha, take that, doubters! He just didn’t want to show off!]

[Some people just can’t resist taking every opportunity to hate on our favorite couple, but too bad they failed, neener neener~]

[It took a while, but guessing correctly is what matters most. Young Master Huo is amazing!]

The barrage of fan comments had just flooded the screen when Director Miao’s voice boomed through the live stream: “Wrong answer!”

Huo Chilin froze. The guests on set froze. The live chat froze.

Weren’t they supposed to be the epitome of couple goals?

This was it?

Shen Lai watched the scene unfold like a spectator, unsurprised.

Back when she was with Huo Chilin, he had never remembered a single thing about her. She used to think he was just careless, but after their breakup, she realized the truth… Huo Chilin was inherently selfish.

The only person he truly cared about was himself.

Looking at it now, it seemed he didn’t care much about Bai Hansui either.

Bai Hansui, ever the professional, quickly regained her composure and said softly, “Chilin, you must not have slept well last night. That’s why you’re not at your best today.”

Huo Chilin’s expression was tense. “Yeah, maybe.”

Bai Hansui added with concern, “Then I’ll give you a massage after the stream.”

Huo Chilin was touched by her thoughtfulness. “Okay.”

Though Bai Hansui had tried to smooth things over, the once-unshakable faith of their CP fans had begun to waver.

[I thought they were super close? How can he not even recognize his own girlfriend’s belongings? That’s kinda hard to believe.]

[Why are you all targeting Huo? Suisui already said he wasn’t feeling well, that’s why he messed up.]

[Bai Hansui: No complaints. Audience: No, we’re not having it.]

[You guys weren’t saying this when Yan Rui couldn’t guess earlier.]

[Seems like some people are trying to stir the pot. Keep focusing on Huo, and you’ll forget about the others coming up.]

[Don’t celebrate too soon. If even Huo couldn’t get it right, what makes you think CEO Pei will? Don’t be hypocrites when it’s his turn.]

Taking advantage of the chaos, Shen Lai slipped over to Pei Jingyan’s side and whispered, just loud enough for him to hear, “Maybe you should just give up.”

Pei Jingyan gave her a deep look. “You managed to guess correctly. Why wouldn’t I?”

“That was pure luck,” Shen Lai muttered, glancing around before lowering her voice further. “You might not have the same stroke of fortune.”

Besides, how would Pei Jingyan even know what items she frequently used?

This was like an actor getting stage fright mid-performance, setting himself up for embarrassment.

Pei Jingyan’s gaze darkened, unreadable. “Seems like Miss Shen has very little faith in me.”

Shen Lai thought to herself, No, I’m just being realistic.

“Don’t worry,” he said, his tone cryptic. “I won’t give you a chance to recite any of your ridiculous rumors.”

With that, Pei Jingyan stepped into the spotlight.

Director Miao asked, “CEO Pei, are you ready?”

Pei Jingyan remained expressionless. “Yes.”

Huo Chilin scoffed under his breath, barely audible. “Who’s he trying to fool?”

There was no way Pei Jingyan could actually succeed.

If he had failed, how could his sworn rival possibly do better?

Soon, Pei Jingyan put on the blindfold. Strands of his hair fell loosely over his forehead, his nose sharp and lips a striking red. The image of him sitting there, eyes covered, carried an inexplicably sensual aura.

[Say what you will, but with a face and body like CEO Pei’s, I could simp forever!]

[Shen Lai, this nobody, is eating good.]

[The government encourages marriage, right? Then I want this one.]

“Timer starts… now!”

As Director Miao’s voice rang out, he pressed the timer in his hand.

Pei Jingyan leisurely picked up the item in front of him. Instead of touching it, he simply brought it beneath his nose for a light sniff.

His fingers were slender, and every movement exuded an innate elegance, as if he weren’t holding an ordinary object but a document worth hundreds of millions.

[So handsome!!!]

[How can someone make even a hair tie look so good?]

[Are there any fans willing to invest in a movie starring CEO Pei?!]

[To the person above, is it really a normal movie you want to see? I don’t even want to call you out.]

Shen Lai watched nervously from the side, already bracing herself for failure.

Whatever, if she gets mocked, so be it.

It wasn’t like she hadn’t been mocked plenty in the entertainment industry before. At least this time, she had Pei Jingyan as company, no loss there.

“I’ve made my choice.”

Pei Jingyan spoke abruptly, using a single finger to push the selected item forward.

Huo Chilin’s face twisted with deeper mockery.

Acting all high and mighty.

Even her ex-boyfriend might not have guessed correctly, let alone Pei…

“Congratulations, CEO Pei, your answer is correct!” Director Miao’s excited voice boomed through the speakers.

Huo Chilin’s face instantly turned ashen.
