Liu Chuyang let out another dramatic sigh, looking utterly regretful. "I admit it—the statement I made this morning was fake. Because last night, the person with me wasn't Yu Qianxia, and it definitely wasn't some random extra I hired. It was... Yan Zhirou."

[???]

[What the hell?!]

[This plot twist is getting out of hand.]

[It was Yan Zhirou all along?!]

[So she was trying to frame Yu Qianxia?]

"I'm truly sorry for only coming clean now," Liu Chuyang continued, shaking his head regretfully. "Yesterday, Zhirou came to me during the day, saying she had issues with her script and needed my help. I agreed."

He sighed again, looking conflicted. "If it was just script guidance, we could've done it publicly during the show's broadcast. But I never expected her to call me out late at night... to my nanny van..."

"A girl's reputation is important. I didn't say anything at first because I didn't want people to misunderstand her."

Liu Chuyang played the victim perfectly, subtly guiding public opinion to believe that Yan Zhirou was the one seducing him, successfully removing himself from the equation.

Yan Zhirou, seeing this, nearly exploded with rage. She pointed at Liu Chuyang, completely losing her composure. "You scumbag! It was YOU who harassed me! Using 'acting guidance' as an excuse to hit on me! I couldn't afford to offend you, so I had no choice but to deal with it!"

For a split second, panic flashed across Liu Chuyang's face, but he quickly countered, "Yan Zhirou, I was trying to protect you as a fellow industry peer. I never intended to expose you. But now, you keep slandering me—I love my girlfriend very much. I have NO interest in you. Please have some self-respect!"

Yan Zhirou, furious, snapped back, "Liu Chuyang, you shameless liar! You were the one flirting with me!"

At that moment, Si Churou suddenly spoke up. "You keep saying Liu Chuyang flirted with you. Do you have proof? Chat logs? Video evidence?"

She scoffed. "Nothing? Then right now, we have three people testifying that YOU went to see Liu Chuyang last night. A woman sneaking out to meet a man late at night... I think we all know what that means."

[HELP, my brain is fried! What the hell is going on?!]

[Okay, let me sum it up—Yan Zhirou dressed up like Yu Qianxia, seduced Liu Chuyang, and tried to frame Yu Qianxia as the homewrecker!]

[No way... Yan Zhirou always seemed so sweet and innocent! Who knew she was such a schemer?!]

[Come on, it's the entertainment industry—no one's actually innocent. They're all cunning as hell!]

Yan Zhirou's eyes turned red with frustration. Just moments ago, they were the ones struggling to explain themselves, yet now, everything had come back to bite her.

Liu Chuyang smirked secretly, feeling incredibly smug.

With Si Churou helping him, he felt like he had completely turned the tables. He had this in the bag.

But in the very next second—his smug smile froze.

"Yan Zhirou wasn't wrong about one thing—Liu Chuyang really did harass her."

Liu Chuyang: "???"

Yu Qianxia frowned. That strange feeling—like she was losing control of the situation—was back again.

She never planned to expose Liu Chuyang outright, but now... things were slipping out of her hands.

Si Churou turned to her, her gaze ice-cold. "Yu Qianxia, don't think that just because you come from money, you can do whatever you want. Liu Chuyang is an upright person, in a stable relationship with his non-industry girlfriend. He's had zero scandals since debut. If you want to smear his name, at least come up with a better excuse!"

At that moment, Si Churou's disgust for her was clear—even in front of the cameras, she didn't bother hiding it.

Yu Qianxia knew that publicly exposing this would be ugly. But the truth was the truth.

"Oh? Then maybe you should check his phone and ask about his three girlfriends."

[???]

[What? Three girlfriends?]

[Wait, Liu Chuyang has three girlfriends?!]

[Does anyone else feel like this scene is super familiar? Didn't Yu Qianxia call out Jiang Shasha like this last episode?]

[!!! HELP! I smell some major gossip brewing!]

Si Churao's eyes flickered with surprise, but she masked her emotions well. Her expression stayed calm as she shot back coldly, "How do you know that?"

Liu Chuyang was visibly shaken—Yu Qianxia had seriously caught him off guard. He was freaking out inside. How the hell did she know so much?

Yu Qianxia raised her eyebrows and gave a sly little smirk. "I know you don't believe me, but your boyfriend's got a spare phone, and it's full of receipts of him flirting around."

Si Churao's face twitched a bit—but it wasn't the evidence that got her, it was the "your boyfriend" part that really hit.

[???]

[What now?!]

[Aaaaah what the hell is going on?? I'm losing it!]

[I'm begging you, Sister Yu, can you just spill it all already? This melon is driving me up the wall!]

Si Churao and Liu Chuyang exchanged a quick glance. He snapped out of it first and blurted out, "Miss Yu, what are you even saying? Accusing me of having three girlfriends is wild enough, and now you're dragging Si Churao into this too?"

Yu Qianxia arched a brow. "Why? You scared to admit it with your official girlfriend standing right here?"

"Worried your whole harem's about to blow up?"

Si Churao frowned slightly. Her rock-solid trust in Liu Chuyang wavered for the first time. What if Yu Qianxia was telling the truth?

She took a second to think—then made a quick decision.

She exhaled slowly and spoke in a calm, deliberate tone. "Fine. Since it's out in the open anyway, might as well make it official."

WHAT?!

Liu Chuyang flinched hard. His eyes darted toward her in panic, silently begging her not to say anything crazy—but she had already made up her mind.

She turned to face the camera and said, "Yu Qianxia's right. Liu Chuyang and I are in a relationship."

Boom. The whole audience was exploded. The livestream comments were on fire.

[HOLY SH*T!!!]

[Si Churao and Liu Chuyang are dating?!]

[No freaking way—Sister Rao is actually Liu Chuyang's girlfriend?!]

[But wait, didn't Liu Chuyang say his girlfriend was outside the industry? How could it be Si Churao, who's totally an insider??]

Liu Chuyang was totally stunned. He couldn't even imagine what kind of mess this "official announcement" was about to create for him.
