Although this was something he had always dreamed of, the moment it actually happened, the immense surprise overwhelmed him, leaving him speechless.
It wasn't until Shen Huai took his hand under the table that he groggily stood up with Shen Huai, bowed to him again, and was then pulled away by Shen Huai.
Once the two had walked quite a distance away, the reporters seemed to snap out of a daze, frantically pressing the shutter button and shouting at the top of their lungs.
"President Shen, wait a minute!!!"
"Tell me more details, Ye Cang!!!"
"Don't go!!"
If an uninformed person had seen this, they would have thought it was a large-scale fan meeting. The reporters were filled with indignation, but could only watch helplessly as Shen Huai and Ye Cang disappeared into the passageway.
At this moment, the host of the press conference coughed and said calmly, "Okay, Mr. Shen's speech is over. Next, please let Dean Fang explain our cooperation method in detail..."
Reporters: "..."
Wait a moment!!
What?! You're married?! When did you propose?! Didn't you just go public?! You're moving so fast!
It's not clear yet! Mr. Shen, you can't just release a bomb and then ignore it!
Before the reporters could even process what was happening, Fang Zhilan had already begun to speak in a leisurely and methodical manner. Compared to Shen Huai, who had only given a general overview of the news, Fang Zhilan was releasing information that was enough to change the current landscape of the music industry.
The reporters hurriedly began taking notes, but inwardly they couldn't help but curse.
The relationship channel suddenly switches to the career channel, can't you guys even give us a buffer period?!
-
Backstage at the press conference, Ye Cang was still not fully recovered.
Shen Huai waved his hand in front of his eyes, feeling a little regretful. He had been out of his mind to listen to Chen Chiyu's nonsense about giving Ye Cang an unforgettable surprise, which had led to this mess.
He thought Ye Cang would be very happy, since he had always hoped that the two of them would go public, but he hadn't considered that the other party might not be willing.
This realization gradually calmed Shen Huai down. His initial anticipation turned into apprehension, and he even felt a rare sense of regret. He was usually calm and collected, so why had he acted so impulsively in this matter?
He swallowed the bitterness in his heart and hesitated before speaking, "You..."
Ye Cang seemed to be startled awake, and grabbed his hand: "Ah Huai, I think I was dreaming just now!"
Shen Huai: "..."
Ye Cang: "I dreamt that you publicly announced that we were married! What an amazing dream!!"
Shen Huai: "..."
Seeing Shen Huai's complicated expression, Ye Cang immediately realized what was going on: "Huai, I'm not forcing you, what I mean is..."
Shen Huai, unable to bear it any longer, interrupted him: "No, that's not a dream, it's real."
Ye Cang: "..."
He blinked slowly: "So, at the press conference just now, you really said..."
Shen Huai nodded.
Then Ye Cang picked him up around the waist.
Ye Cang: "Hahahaha!!"
Shen Huai: "!!! Let me go!"
Shen Huai was now truly regretting it. He was only thinking about giving Ye Cang a surprise and forgot that this kid was simply unstoppable when he went crazy. Just as he was considering whether to use force, Ye Cang finally realized the danger and obediently put Shen Huai on the ground.
Shen Huai staggered, his suit already crumpled into a clump of salted vegetables.
Ye Cang realized his mistake and quickly reached out to smooth it out for him.
Shen Huai held his forehead, feeling utterly helpless.
The two things he mentioned at this press conference were collaborations he had already agreed upon and was looking for an opportunity to announce. Now, with the rumors surrounding the two of them, they decided to take this opportunity to hold the press conference.
After Chen Chiyu found out, he kept urging Shen Huai to take this opportunity to assert his dominance.
Shen Huai didn't have that kind of thought. He just thought that Ye Cang had been the one to take the initiative all along. Although he had considered many things for Ye Cang, his hesitation and retreat must have made Ye Cang feel somewhat insecure. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager to go public.
Shen Huai reflected on his actions. He had overthought things and backed down too much, but in a relationship, none of that was necessary. For Ye Cang, he simply wanted to take a step forward and stand shoulder to shoulder with him. He wanted them to be like any ordinary couple, walking openly and honestly in the sunlight.
Even Shen Huai himself didn't expect that he had taken such a big step, completely baffling the person involved.
Ye Cang was also surprised that Shen Huai, who was usually the most composed, had done such a shocking thing, and thought he was dreaming.
Ye Cang became happier and happier as he thought about it, and hesitantly asked, "Ah Huai, is this a marriage proposal?"
Shen Huai: "Hmm. If you don't like it..."
Ye Cang immediately interrupted him vehemently: "How could I not like it!"
He's practically going crazy with excitement! Although he didn't propose, which is a little disappointing, that's not important! The important thing is that he's now a married man, able to show off his love and shower everyone with affection anytime, anywhere, and he can even…
Ye Cang thought for a moment, then put his arm around Shen Huai's shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and said suggestively, "Huai, now that we're married, tonight, as our wedding night, could we...?"
Shen Huai adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "You have to take a plane to the recording site of 'Everybody's Idol' tonight. The next episode will be recorded tomorrow. Have you forgotten?"
Ye Cang: "!!!"
