【Dreaming of a Wound】: Is Lin Ran really being kept? What does it feel like to be a kept man? I really want to know.
The moment this question was asked, the entire room fell silent.
Starting off with something this explosive?
Only Liu Meng and Uncle Fu remained calm, confident that Lin Ran would handle the question perfectly.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Ran nodded, flashing a smile at the camera.
"How does it feel to be taken care of by my wife? Well, it’s absolutely amazing, of course. But if you want to experience it, you’ll have to work harder, kid."
"After all, you don’t have my dashing looks, enviable physique, or perfect pure love..."
Lin Ran had just admitted—on live broadcast to the entire nation—that he was indeed a kept man.
The comment section exploded instantly.【Fantasy of Years】: How shameless.
【Years in Hand】: Why can’t that be me instead?!
【Twin Stars】: Wait, is Lin Ran really this straightforward?
The host let out a sigh of relief. Her biggest fear had been Lin Ran or Luo Yao getting angry.
"What an amusing answer! So Mr. Lin is quite confident in himself. Let’s move on to the second question—3, 2, 1, go!"
"Alright, the second question is for Ms. Luo Yao. A netizen asks: If a third party were to appear, what would Ms. Luo do?"
Luo Yao’s lips curled into an eerie smirk, her eyes turning icy cold.
【Sent to the Depths of Clouds】: Holy crap, she didn’t say a word, but I feel like she already answered.
【Tomatoes Love Judges】: That glare… I swear if she looked at me like that, the next second she’d be begging me not to die.
【Are Women Inferior to Men?】: Hey, the one above, do you even deserve her begging?Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt
【Sugar-Coated Chestnuts】: Is this the aura of the top chaebol heiress? The lethality is off the charts.
【Houyi Shooting the Sun】: Luo Yao might be breathtakingly beautiful, but I’d never dare to have a woman like her.
The host wiped sweat from her brow.
"Ms. Luo, you do need to answer the question. But if you don’t want to… that’s fine too."
"There are no third parties in my world," Luo Yao suddenly declared, stunning everyone.
Host: ??? What does that mean?
Lin Ran: "Because they’re all dead."
The host chuckled nervously. "Mr. Lin, you’re quite the comedian."
Lin Ran shrugged.
"See? When I tell the truth, no one believes me."
The host felt like this interview was getting way too difficult. She wanted to wrap it up as soon as possible.
"Ahem, let’s proceed to the final question. Let’s see which netizen asked this one."
"Alright, this question requires both of you to answer. The question is: Did you two get together because of mutual benefits or… a kept relationship?" The host’s voice grew quieter toward the end.
When she interviewed other guests, she loved pushing their buttons. But now, she was acting like a mouse facing a cat.
Lin Ran: "Why can’t it be because of love?"
Luo Yao: "A-Ran belongs only to me."
Instantly, the host was force-fed dog food.
Comments: 【Look at Luo Yao’s eyes—she’s totally in love with Lin Ran. She said he can only belong to her. Is she a yandere CEO? I want one too!】
【If she really is a yandere, you wouldn’t want her once you had her.】
【You don’t understand how much someone like me, starved for love, craves this.】
Host: "Alright, let’s move on to our second segment: Home Life."
"You can spend today just like how you usually spend your weekends."
Lin Ran and Luo Yao exchanged a glance, both smiling mysteriously.
Lin Ran: "Well, I’m afraid you won’t be able to broadcast this… Mmmph?!"
(If you can’t find the book by title, try searching the author’s name—maybe it was just renamed!)
Luo Yao delivered a passionate kiss to Lin Ran right in front of the live audience, declaring to the world, "This man is mine."
Lin Ran: Wait, is this show really allowing this kind of content?
The host froze on the spot.
Luo Yao released Lin Ran, who then shrugged and said, "This is how we usually spend our time."
【Damn, Lin Ran’s living the high life, huh?】
【Or maybe Luo Yao’s the one eating well.】
【I declare the rest of this livestream should be VIP-only.】
The host cleared her throat. "Please behave, you two. Since that’s the case, let’s have the production team offer three options instead."
"Option A: Mr. Lin Ran will—"
Lin Ran: "I pick C."
"Mr. Lin, I haven’t even finished speaking."
"I’m picking C. When in doubt, always choose the last option."
Host: "Why?"
Lin Ran grinned innocently. "It’s just like dating. When you have choices, it means the earlier ones might not be that great. So, dear viewers, are you the one choosing, being chosen, or stuck with the leftovers?"
The host felt like she’d just been stabbed.
Luo Yao’s cold voice cut in.
"A-Ran said C. We’re going with C."
Then she turned to Lin Ran, who shuddered.
"Darling, in my world, there’s no B or C. You’ll always be my A."
Only then did Luo Yao retract her murderous gaze, and Lin Ran exhaled in relief.
That was almost a live broadcast disaster.
Host: "Alright, then please work together to prepare a dish."
Lin Ran was stunned. Which demon came up with this option?
Luo Yao also seemed surprised. She and Lin Ran shared a look, as if silently communicating.
Lin Ran glanced at the crew, then back at the host.
Host: "I assume you two don’t cook often, so if—"
Lin Ran cut her off.
"No problem, we’ll do this. No switching! And when we’re done, the whole crew can taste it."
The host’s eyes lit up. "Really? Even someone like me?"
Lin Ran smiled disarmingly. "Of course! Everyone here deserves it. No one’s more deserving than you."
The host peeked at Luo Yao, who also nodded in agreement. Instantly, she relaxed.
Who said Luo Yao was ruthless and cold? She’s so kind—even willing to cook for us!
Lin Ran led Luo Yao into the kitchen, with the cameras following.
【This is a rich person’s kitchen? It’s bigger than my three-bedroom apartment.】
【Do people this rich even know how to cook?】
【The production team is just messing with them, but I love it.】
【Did you notice? Despite Luo Yao’s dominance, she actually listens to Lin Ran. She really loves him.】
【Maybe she’s just spoiling her boy toy. Once she gets bored, what’s Lin Ran worth then?】
【Lin Ran’s already loaded, okay? Not Luo Yao-level rich, but he’s light-years ahead of regular folks.】
Luo Yao stared at the stove, lost in some… "fond" memories.
"A-Ran, I swore I’d never cook again."
Lin Ran: "Same here. Didn’t see this coming."
Bet the readers didn’t either.
