However, the delivery waiter was still there, so He Mingzhang had to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and just stared intently at Ye Mo, his gaze seemingly fixed on her.

Finally, the waiter left, and the next second, He Mingzhang couldn't wait to ask Ye Mo, "Ye Mo, what did you mean by what you just said? Did I understand it that way?"

He stared intently at Ye Mo, asking each word carefully, "Are you saying you've accepted my advances? Or have I misunderstood?"

Ye Mo teased him, "When did the boss of the He Group become so insecure?"

He Mingzhang smiled bitterly, "It's probably because love breeds fear... Because I like you, I'm filled with anxiety and uncertainty."

"..." Ye Mo let out a breath, pursed her lips, and her attitude became serious. He Mingzhang's seriousness made her feel that if she responded to this question in a careless manner, it would not only be disrespectful to He Mingzhang, but also to herself.

"Yes!" She looked intently at He Mingzhang and said, "You didn't misunderstand, what I meant was exactly what you think... He Mingzhang, I accept your proposal, I want to be with you and be your girlfriend!"

After speaking, Ye Mo felt unusually embarrassed. She picked up her water glass and took a sip to cover it up, muttering, "How can a big boss have such poor comprehension? I have to explain myself so clearly before he understands!"

As she was speaking, she suddenly felt a warmth on her hand. Ye Mo looked down and saw a large hand covering the back of her hand, and then that large hand grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

Ye Mo pursed his lips, the corners of his lips involuntarily curving upwards.

She realized that she actually did like He Mingzhang quite a bit... Sigh, she had become that frog being slowly boiled in water.

"He Mingzhang, you're really cunning!" she said.

Soon after Ye Mo and He Mingzhang confirmed their relationship, both families knew about it. Both families were happy about it, except for a few people.

"... So we'll have to call Ye Mo' Auntie' from now on? That's just too unfair!" Especially Ye Mo's "ex" fiancé, he simply couldn't bring himself to say "Auntie," but he figured he'd have to get used to it eventually.

Meanwhile, Ye Mo finally graduated from university. Her fans had been counting down the days since her senior year, constantly talking about her graduation.

The fans have a good idea: once Ye Mo graduates from university, he'll have more time to film, which will allow him to produce more works.

[Oh my god, we've finally waited for this day! This has been so hard-won, do you know how we've spent the past four years?] Ye Mo's fans couldn't help but lament.

However, they were also happy for Ye Mo. Thinking back to four years ago, the Weibo Ye Mo made about his admission notice from B University had caused quite a stir at the time.

[Back then, who would have believed it? Ye Mo, a high school dropout, actually got into B University! Even her haters thought it was photoshopped!]

[From a high school dropout to B University student at Peking University, this is a storyline that no one would even dare to dream of. Momo is truly amazing.]

[Didn't I say before that Ye Mo had excellent grades? She dropped out of school not because of bad grades, but because her adoptive parents were heartless... Thinking back to how I was deceived by those two bastards and actually believed that Ye Mo was unfilial to them, I just want to curse them out.]

[If Ye Mo hadn't dropped out of high school, she would have been B University student at Peking University long ago. However, I really didn't expect her to choose this major.]

[... You didn't expect this, and nobody expected it either! Who would have thought that a celebrity who works with words would go on to study chemistry in college? The connection between these two things is completely unrelated!]

[Now that Momo has graduated, she can finally come back to acting, right? I've practically worn out from watching all her previous shows. I have to say, her acting skills have improved so much in the past few years; it's a complete transformation!]

[Looking forward to it! I wonder what Momo's next drama will be. Does anyone know? We just want a female star who is both beautiful and talented. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, is Momo the only one? We're so frustrated!]

[No spicy food from other restaurants! We 'Momo excellent, and other female celebrities are excellent too. Everyone's great!]

There was still no news from Ye Mo's side, but netizens were already happily discussing it. However, what surprised everyone was that Ye Mo reappeared on the trending topics list not because she had taken on another drama, nor because the paparazzi had captured any new developments, but rather:

Is the person behind the "888" brand suspected to be celebrity Ye Mo?

The first reaction of netizens upon seeing this trending topic was:??? What the heck?

The "888" trending on social media isn't just a number; it refers to a domestic beauty brand that has suddenly become popular in the last two years. This brand is known for its exceptionally effective products, and in just two years, it has gained countless loyal consumers.

"888's" first skincare product was a face cream called "Bright White" (meaning "bright white"), which was marketed as a whitening product. At the same time, a face mask product from the same series was also launched.

As soon as this brand appeared, its online and offline advertising was overwhelming and extremely extravagant, leading many to speculate that the "888" brand might be backed by a powerful figure.

However, "888" first became famous not because of its products, but because of its outrageous pricing: a whitening face cream selling for 8888.

Netizens who saw the price were shocked because it was so outrageous that they couldn't even muster up any anger.

During that period, the internet was full of comments criticizing the "888" brand for its greedy practices. However, perhaps because the pricing of 8888 was so outrageous, some people actually bought the product online after it went on sale.

The buyer: 888, I'm calling you crazy! A newly established brand dares to sell at such a high price, but if you sell it for 8888, then I'll have to see how much you've got.

With this mindset, not many people actually bought the product, but there were some who did. Some even seized the opportunity to buy the product directly through live streaming and documented the changes in their skin.

This streamer originally had somewhat dark skin, but not too dark. However, after she started using the "Bright White" product, netizens noticed that her skin tone was gradually becoming lighter, with visible changes every few days.

Netizens who discovered this truth were stunned: Is this really not a script? Is this really a whitening product that can actually exist?

Netizens were shocked, confused, and then went crazy.

The price of 8888 is indeed expensive, but it makes your skin noticeably whiter and more supple with the naked eye. The effect is amazing! -- So many people have spent tens of thousands on whitening products and haven't seen much whiter skin.

The promise of achieving fair skin with just 8888 yuan has many people eager to try it and have already made their purchases.

As more people used it, more feedback came in, and more people confirmed that the "Bright White" product could really make people's skin whiter. As a result, the brand "888" and its "Bright White" product became very popular.

Later, "888" produced two more products: one to brighten the eyes and make them more expressive, and the other to remove freckles... Both products were so effective that netizens suspected "888" might have used some materials that are not safe for human use.

Of course, later, the people from "888" presented all their certificates to show that their products had no safety hazards, and only then did netizens feel reassured and start buying them.

In summary, although "888" doesn't have many products, it is indeed a brand with an excellent reputation and is extremely famous. There has been discussion among netizens about the owner behind "888", but no one has ever associated "888" with Ye Mo.

But now you're telling us that the boss behind "888" is Ye Mo? That big star Ye Mo?
