Fake Pregnancy? Oops, It’s Real — and So Is the Husband - Chapter 37

Since the Huo Bai team scored the lowest in this round, the two had to publicly share their phone photo albums.

First up was Bai Hansui’s phone.

Most of her photos were selfies, along with many letters and gifts from fans, all carefully preserved. This moved her fans in the livestream, who gushed about how much Bai Hansui loved them.

[Wuwu, Suisui is so sweet! She really holds her fans close to her heart!]

[Suddenly glad Suisui lost, otherwise, we’d never have known how much she treasures us!]

[How could anyone bear to hurt such a kind girl? Anti-fans have no hearts!]

[Huo Shao is so lucky to be with Suisui, he must’ve burned incense in his past life.]

Though Bai Hansui lost the game, she gained a wave of new fans, with most comments in the livestream praising her.

Next was Huo Chilin’s turn.

“Now, let’s see what special things young master Huo has in his album.”

Director Miao projected Huo Chilin’s phone screen onto the wall. The first photo that appeared was a selfie of him and Bai Hansui.

[AHHHHHHHHHH! This is too sweet! Lin-Sui CP forever!]

[Anyone who dares oppose my Lin-Sui CP can just DIE!]

[Seeing these two faces together makes me so happy I could fly!]

[This is what ‘a perfect match’ means, how can two people this good-looking be together?!]

A shy blush spread across Bai Hansui’s face as she glanced up at Huo Chilin.

But Huo Chilin wasn’t looking at her at all, his expression was oddly stiff.

Because he suddenly remembered there were some things in his album he hadn’t deleted yet.

But it was too late to stop. As Director Miao swiped to the next photo, a face all too familiar to the livestream audience appeared on the screen.

It looked like they were in some restaurant. Shen Lai was leaning against Huo Chilin’s shoulder, both smiling and flashing peace signs at the camera.

[??? Wait, isn’t that Shen Lai? Holy shit!!! What the hell? Why do they have a photo like this?]

[Didn’t Huo Chilin say he didn’t know Shen Lai? How could they have a photo together?]

[And this looks way too intimate! Not at all like strangers!]

[So the rumors about them dating were true?!?!]

The livestream chat instantly erupted into chaos. Bai Hansui’s expression also darkened.

She never expected Huo Chilin’s phone to have photos of Shen Lai.

Did he… still have feelings for her?

Shen Lai frowned slightly, glancing at the flustered Huo Chilin.

She remembered this photo was taken right after they started dating. Why hadn’t he deleted it?

Did he forget? Or just couldn’t be bothered?

Beads of sweat formed on Huo Chilin’s forehead. Back then, he had vehemently denied any relationship with Shen Lai. Now, this photo had surfaced, proving he had lied when he claimed not to know her.

Sure enough, Bai Hansui’s fans were already demanding an explanation.

Director Miao hadn’t expected such an explosive photo to appear either. He had been worried the game lacked drama, so he eagerly pressed, “Young master Huo, what’s going on here? Didn’t you say you didn’t know Shen Lai?”

Huo Chilin’s mind raced in panic. Instinctively, he looked toward Shen Lai, only to find her sitting there calmly, as if this had nothing to do with her.

Hu Chilin’s throat bobbed as he feigned composure and said, “Suisui and Shen Lai used to be good friends. We met once during a meal, which is why this photo was taken.”

Director Miao pressed further, “But didn’t you say earlier that you didn’t know Shen Lai before?”

At this point, Huo Chilin couldn’t use his previous excuse to deceive the audience anymore, so he had no choice but to say, “We only met a few times, it wasn’t a close relationship. And I didn’t want to invite any trouble, which is why I said I didn’t know Shen Lai.”

However, this excuse couldn’t fool the live-stream audience. The way the two posed in the photo clearly didn’t look like just friends, it was more like a couple.

And who would take such an intimate photo with another woman while their girlfriend was present?

[If they really only met a few times, he could’ve just said they weren’t close. Trying to cover it up makes it even more suspicious, doesn’t it?]

[Exactly. And if they weren’t close, how could they take such an intimate photo?]

[Well, I certainly wouldn’t get that cozy with my girlfriend’s best friend the first time we met (smile).]

[If they really dated, Shen Lai got the short end of the stick, huh? Not only did her ex deny their relationship, but she was also cyberbullied by his fans for so long.]

The remaining two pairs of guests exchanged glances, silently enjoying the drama.

At times like this, staying out of it was the best course of action.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Bai Hansui turned to Shen Lai, who had been silent, and suddenly said, “Lai Lai, why don’t you explain?”

Suddenly called out, Shen Lai raised an eyebrow, finding it rather amusing. “Explain what?”

Bai Hansui forced a stiff smile. “Of course, explain your relationship with Chilin. This photo was taken the first time I introduced Chilin to you, right?”

She figured that with Pei Jingyan present, Shen Lai wouldn’t want to be associated with Huo Chilin and would definitely help them explain.

Otherwise, Shen Lai could’ve exposed them when she first joined the show, there was no need to wait until now.

Pei Jingyan, who had been silent all this time, turned to look at Shen Lai upon hearing this, his expression unreadable.

Now he was curious, what would Shen Lai say?

Would she tell the truth to get back at Huo Chilin and Bai Hansui, or would she help Huo Chilin smooth things over because she still had lingering feelings for him?

At this thought, the smile on Pei Jingyan’s lips turned cold.

Shen Lai arched an eyebrow. “Are you sure you want me to say it?”

Looking at her half-smiling expression, Bai Hansui’s smile wavered. “Of course. Even though we’re not friends anymore, I still hope you’ll tell the truth.”

Countless gazes fell on Shen Lai, and the atmosphere grew tense in an instant.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Shen Lai slowly stood up. She straightened her clothes, then suddenly smiled. “Do you want me to explain how Huo Chilin dated me for six months before dumping me when my family fell into ruin? Or do you want me to explain how you inserted yourself as the other woman while Huo Chilin and I were still together?”

Her words were like a boulder crashing into a calm lake, instantly sending ripples through the crowd.

[Holy shit!!! What kind of bombshell is this?!]

[So not only did Huo Chilin date Shen Lai, but he also cheated on her with Bai Hansui during their relationship?]

[Shen Lai’s family went bankrupt six months ago, and she said she dated Huo Chilin for six months, that means it was a year ago. Bai Hansui and Huo Chilin also started dating a year ago, so they were literally cheating?!]

“Holy shit holy shit holy shit, this plot twist absolutely blew my mind!!”

In less than five minutes, hashtags like #ShenLaiHuoChilinEx, #HuoChilinCheatsWithBaiHanSui, and #BaiHanSuiHomewrecker skyrocketed to the top of trending searches. The live stream viewership instantly surged into the millions.
