Chapter 73.3

With that, the topic was quickly dropped. Wen Tang mentioned her husband once and then focused on filming her daily life and preparing lunch for the guests who had come from afar.

Though the ingredients were already in the refrigerator, for the sake of the show, it was best to personally select them from the supermarket.

Wen Tang took the production team to a nearby supermarket.

Having lived there for so long, she and Zhou Jingyu had been there several times. She was familiar with the layout and picking out groceries, having observed Zhou Jingyu do it often.

However, because of the filming, Wen Tang didn’t wear a mask, and she was quickly recognized. As more and more people gathered around, they had to hurry through the shopping, check out, and leave quickly.

There was a small mishap while cooking.

Since Zhou Jingyu usually did the cooking and Wen Tang only watched, she was unfamiliar with where many of the seasonings were kept.

Moreover, Wen Tang had only learned a few dishes from Zhou Jingyu a couple of years ago when she participated in “Celebrity Kitchen,” and she hadn’t touched any kitchen tools since. Consequently, Wen Tang had to ask Zhou Jingyu for help.

Wen Tang sent a video call to Zhou Jingyu.

At that moment, Zhou Jingyu was wrapping up a meeting. Seeing Wen Tang’s video call, he finished the meeting promptly and answered the call.

It’s worth noting that only high-level executives close to Zhou Jingyu knew who his wife was. Other employees only knew he was married but didn’t know any further details.

Once the video call connected, Wen Tang asked, “Honey, where is the ginger in our house?”

Without hesitation, Zhou Jingyu replied, “It’s in the second drawer by the door.”

While searching for the ginger, Wen Tang also found garlic.

During the cooking time, which coincided with Zhou Jingyu’s working hours, he walked back to his office while answering Wen Tang’s various kitchen questions on the phone.

Whenever he encountered company employees, they respectfully addressed him as “Mr. Zhou.”

Due to Wen Tang’s numerous questions and her lack of cooking skills—she even needed to ask how many spoonfuls of soy sauce and oil to add—Zhou Jingyu continued to answer her questions while working, keeping the video call going to help her as needed.

Of course, the camera was not aimed directly at the lens, so the production team could only see Wen Tang asking for help and chatting occasionally, but not Zhou Jingyu himself.

Even so, the production team felt they got their money’s worth! The trip was incredibly worthwhile with numerous highlights throughout the day!

Before arriving, they had no idea about Wen Tang and Zhou Jingyu’s relationship. Seeing how he handled cooking and answered Wen Tang’s questions completely overturned their expectations and left them in awe.

Though they couldn’t show Zhou Jingyu’s face to the audience, the guests who helped out could naturally see his face on the phone. The sight of him working diligently in his luxurious office was captivating, and his tenderness and patience towards his wife, combined with his good looks, made him like a piece of art—enchanting no matter how many times you looked.

Oh my, what a perfect husband!

After the meal was prepared, Wen Tang was about to end the video call when Zhou Jingyu suddenly remembered something and looked at the screen, saying, “This afternoon at 4:30, I have a financial interview airing on Channel 8.”

Zhou Jingyu rarely participated in such interviews, and Wen Tang had not heard of this before. She asked, “Is it live?”

Zhou Jingyu replied, “It’s recorded.”

Wen Tang acknowledged with a nod.

At around 4:20 in the afternoon, Wen Tang informed the production team, paused the filming, and sat down on the sofa with the remote control to watch Zhou Jingyu’s interview program.

Meanwhile, many netizens were also eagerly watching the screen.

Before the program aired, there had been a lot of hype online. As soon as Zhou Jingyu’s photos were released, they sparked a lot of attention and heated discussion. [Ah, my President Zhou!]

[Oh my, my dream husband!!!!]

[My President Zhou is finally on a talk show. I’ve been waiting for this day for so long!]

[Sob, sob, another lifetime series!]

[Finally, I can see President Zhou’s stunning face. I can’t wait!]

……

At 4:30, the financial interview program started on time. The show was hosted by the renowned financial talk show host, Guan Jing.

When Zhou Jingyu’s face appeared on the TV screen, many people either held their breath, gasped, or screamed.

There was no other reason—his face was incredibly striking.

Even though financial interviews mainly discuss business topics that many viewers might not understand, Zhou Jingyu’s looks alone ensured that the ratings soared.

[I watched, but I feel like I didn’t really see anything, it’s like listening to an alien language.]

[So impressive!]

[President Zhou’s aura is so strong. Workplace novices are trembling!]

[I’ll just quietly admire President Zhou’s looks. I could watch his face for a lifetime!]

……

Wen Tang sat on the sofa, completely absorbed in watching with the other guests.

Zhou Jingyu on the show was quite different from his usual self in Wen Tang’s life. At home, he was indulgent, doting, and gentle with Wen Tang, occasionally strong-willed and jealous, but on TV, he was reserved and aloof, with a distant demeanor that seemed untouchable.

The guests and the production team occasionally expressed their admiration, and Wen Tang’s lips curled into a proud smile.

Yes, this nearly perfect man on TV is mine.

My husband.

The program lasted only half an hour. As it neared the end, the host, understanding the audience’s curiosity, asked a different question.

“I see that President Zhou is wearing a wedding ring. It looks like you’re married?”

Zhou Jingyu raised his hand to show the ring, a smile tugging at his lips as he nodded, “We’ve been married for three years.”

The host was surprised, “You’re only thirty-one this year, and you’ve been married for three years? That’s quite an early marriage!”

Zhou Jingyu smiled, both reserved and gentle, “My wife and I got married six months after we started dating, so it could be considered a flash marriage.”

The host remarked, “President Zhou seems to really love your wife. Your tone changes when you talk about her!”

Zhou Jingyu just smiled and remained silent.

He extended his hand again to show the watch on his wrist.

“This was a gift from my wife the day after we started dating. I’ve worn it ever since.”

It was like a show of pride.

The unique charm and his extraordinarily handsome face left everyone momentarily mesmerized.

[Oh my! Stop flaunting, you’re dazzling my eyes!!]

[I thought I was here to see President Zhou’s beautiful face, but I ended up eating a mouthful of dog food!]

[Dog food is filling. I’m leaning against the wall to leave…]

[Oh my, which woman has the privilege of receiving President Zhou’s affection?]

[I shouldn’t have watched. I’m so envious! I’m really jealous of the woman married to President Zhou!!!]

[Who is she??!!]

……

[Hey, look at the ring and the watch, doesn’t it seem a bit familiar?]

[Hmm? Now that you mention it, it does seem familiar the more I look.]

[Has it been worn by some big celebrity before?]

[Hint: Airport, street shots, unmasked, suitcase.]

……

[Impossible.]

[Just a coincidence!]

[Don’t make wild guesses about my Tang Tang!!!!]

……

The interview ended quickly.

After it was over, Wen Tang turned off the TV and resumed filming for the show.

Online, Zhou Jingyu’s interview led to a flurry of new photos and GIFs circulating.

Zhou Jingyu’s striking appearance meant that even a random screenshot could be used as wallpaper—perfect for those who love handsome faces.

Additionally, Zhou Jingyu’s final comments and the familiar watch and ring he wore sparked much speculation.

Some people even dug up a photo of Wen Tang at the airport from over two years ago for comparison.

The comparison was startling. The watch on Wen Tang’s wrist was identical to Zhou Jingyu’s, though it wasn’t a limited edition, so it could be a coincidence. However, the hand wearing the watch had distinct and recognizable features, leading people to compare the hand’s size, finger thickness, length, and even the texture of the skin. Everything matched perfectly—it was undeniably the same person!

Sure, people can look alike, but hands?

Putting that aside, the ring—yes, the exact same style Wen Tang had worn!

It was easy to find proof. After Wen Tang announced her marriage, she often wore that ring on her ring finger, and photos confirmed it. Comparing the design, patterns, and color, it was exactly the same as the one Zhou Jingyu wore, just a different size.

Custom-made rings are hard to dismiss as coincidences.

If one coincidence is possible, several together are more than likely true.

The truth is clear.

[Could it be………………?]

[I don’t believe it!]

[Ahhhhhhhh, if it’s true, I’m going to lose it!!!]

[Wen Tang’s fans, stop inflating her reputation! Wen Tang wants to marry my President Zhou? She doesn’t deserve it! Maybe in her next life!]

[Why are there so many haters everywhere? Get lost!!]

[As a fan of Wen Tang, I can’t believe it! Official clarification, please!]

[Wen Tang, please clarify this!]

[Why should Wen Tang clarify? It’s Zhou Jingyu’s issue, let him handle it! Wen Tang is just caught in the crossfire!]

[By the way, isn’t Wen Tang’s live stream scheduled from 6 to 7 pm today?]

[Yes, yes! Wen Tang is recording “Take Me to Your Home” today!]

[The live stream is already open, waiting quietly.]

[Eagerly waiting, Tang Tang, give us the truth!]

[Actually… if Tang Tang’s husband is President Zhou, I can accept it. I might even lead the fan club!]

[A combination of top-notch looks, I’ve already imagined countless scenarios. Don’t let me down!]

[Sob, sob, sob, I’m so excited right now, like waiting for the lottery results.]

[Sister, high five, I’m as excited as you!!!]

[Nervous heart, trembling hands! Why isn’t it 6 o’clock yet ahhhhhh!]
