"What's the rush? Just sit back and enjoy the show," Yu Qianxia said casually, lifting a teapot and pouring herself a cup like she was settling in for entertainment.

The tease made Si Churao itch with curiosity—but she managed to hold it in. Looked like this drama still had a twist coming.

That afternoon, the livestream continued with more tasks—this time harvesting watermelons in the melon field.

Earlier in the morning, Yu Qianxia had already had Sister Rong contact Ms. You. Ms. You was cooperative and immediately flew over.

She landed at 5 p.m. and headed straight to a local hospital. Since pregnant women require DNA from amniotic fluid, Sister Rong had already arranged everything with the testing center, and the sample was collected there.

While the guests spent the afternoon busy with watermelon picking, things were heating up online—especially the He Jinran scandal.

[Ahhh Sister Yu can you give us an update? When's the test result coming out??]

[I'm dying to know the outcome!]

[Who can relate? I've been anxious all day eating this drama—my boss caught me slacking like three times. Please, someone drop the results already!]

[Director, stop making them pick watermelons—let us eat the real melon already!]

...

The screen was flooded with bullet comments from impatient netizens camping for the drama.

As night fell, the watermelon-picking task finally wrapped up.

Ji Minghan borrowed a kitchen knife and sliced open a watermelon. Unable to hold back, he was the first to ask, "Sister Yu, Sister Yu, any news?"

Right then, Sister Rong walked over from off-camera, and the livestream quickly zoomed in on her. She waved the file in her hand. "The test results are in."

[Say it! What's the result??]

[Aaaaah tell us already!]

[I'm so nervous! Just say it!]

Yu Qianxia took the document and flipped to the last page. After reading the result, her expression remained calm—no surprise in her eyes.

Ji Minghan and Si Churao instantly squeezed in closer, jostling each other for a better view. In the scuffle, they tripped over one another, missing the prime spot—leaving it open for the quietly observing Ye Yanshuang beside them.

Ye Yanshuang leaned in, reading out the result, "According to the test, the evidence does not support He Jinran being the biological father of the unborn child."

As soon as the words dropped, the comment section exploded—

[!!!]

[No way! He Jinran isn't the father?!]

[Wait—so Ms. You tried to frame him? But why? What grudge does she have against him?]

[Sister Yu, stop teasing! Just tell us the truth already!]

At that moment, a pregnant woman suddenly rushed in from off-camera. Her expression was distressed.

"No! That's impossible! How can he not be? You must've made a mistake!"

Yu Qianxia quickly stepped forward to calm her down. "Don't panic. This matter isn't over yet."

The woman who just stormed onto the livestream was none other than the key figure in this scandal—You Li.

Her eyes were slightly red as she pointed at He Jinran and began to lash out. "He's a scumbag. I used to be his fan—I really liked him!"

"When he first debuted and hadn't landed any roles, I happened to see him at an event. That's when I started liking him. He didn't have much money back then, and I felt sorry for him. I started sending him gifts—suits, formal wear. He was good at pretending—always acting polite and humble in front of me, refusing my gifts at first. But when I insisted, he eventually accepted them."

"It was all an act—I know that now. The more he acted like that, the more I felt for him."

"And like that, things got ambiguous between us. He started dating me. I knew he was broke and struggling to network in the industry, so I worked two jobs every day. I even took out bank loans. I did all this just to help him have a future."

As she spoke, You Li burst into tears. "But now I'm left with over 3 million in debt, and the man who used to whisper sweet nothings to me cheated on me after he got famous!"

"I only just found out I was pregnant, and now he's denying everything..."

Covering her face, she sobbed uncontrollably.

Netizens who heard her story started to sympathize.

[Yeah, being too lovestruck isn't smart—but cheating and using someone is way worse!]

[If everything she said is true, then why isn't the baby his?]

[So who's telling the truth here??]

The entire time You Li was speaking, He Jinran's expression didn't change. He remained composed, suspicion flashing in his eyes. "I really don't know you. Do you have any actual proof?"

You Li glared at him. "You were always so calculating. You wouldn't even let me take photos with you. Aside from that one private photo I secretly took, I don't have anything else!"

He Jinran stared at her, face cold. "Ms. You, slandering my reputation can result in legal consequences. I suggest you stop before it goes too far."

He chuckled frostily. "Oh, and Ms. You—the chat account in your screenshots... isn't that my assistant Xiao Chen's account? Are you sure you were dating me, and not my assistant?"

Wait—what?!

Shock crossed You Li's face.

Just then, a man stepped forward from off-camera. He looked at You Li, then at He Jinran, and suddenly bowed deeply, guilt written all over his face. "I'm sorry, Brother He. I didn't keep my girlfriend in check. She played dirty and dragged you into this."

The audience was blindsided by the twist.

You Li stood frozen in place.

Before she could say anything, Xiao Chen—He Jinran's assistant—jumped ahead, shouting, "You Li! You're disgusting! You owe a huge debt, and when I couldn't help you, you turned your attention to Brother He?! How could you stoop so low?!"

As he spoke, Xiao Chen's eyes drifted toward You Li's belly. In a fit of rage, he raised his hand as if to strike her.

But the slap never landed.

Yu Qianxia, quick as lightning, caught his wrist mid-air.

"That's enough!"

"Your little performance ends here."

[WHAT?! There's another twist?!]

He Jinran instinctively frowned. When he looked up at Yu Qianxia, his face showed nothing but confusion and innocence. "Sister Yu, what are you trying to say?"

Yu Qianxia let out a cold laugh. "You went on the show just to use my reputation and traffic to clear your name, didn't you?"
