But once they climbed the castle, the entire ancient city unfolded before their eyes, making it a worthwhile, off-the-beaten-path attraction even if they weren't there for the sights.
Yan Xuelan looked at the scenery of the ancient city below the castle and sneered inwardly. Her younger sister certainly knew how to find places to eat, drink, and have fun.
Thinking this, she strolled aimlessly, seemingly without any purpose, but her feet never stopped as she walked toward the destination sent to her by the informant, introducing herself to the cameraman who was filming her live stream.
"It seems that Little Certain Book's recommendation wasn't just an advertisement; this place is indeed worth visiting, and there's no entrance fee. If you have the chance to come to this ancient city, you should definitely check it out."
"Look everyone, this is the entire ancient city behind us. It's still daytime now, but it will be even more beautiful when the city lights come on in the evening."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, indicating that the camera should follow her movement.
"Ah, the view from this city wall is quite nice. I heard that soldiers used to fight the enemy right here, and many even slept here. If that's the case, the inside of the city wall must be very interesting. Why don't we go explore together?"
Then Yan Xuelan walked towards a fortress.
Upon seeing this, Ye Jin quickly followed. She had a premonition that a big surprise was just around the corner!
As they drew closer, a rustling sound reached their ears, and they could vaguely see two figures embracing and kissing in the dim light.
Yan Xuelan obviously saw it too, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"Oh dear, it seems we've disturbed the young couple's romance. In that case, let's go somewhere else."
As she spoke, her actions drew the camera towards the person she was holding.
At this moment, the two who were hugging each other heard the commotion outside and finally let go of each other, and then their appearance appeared in front of everyone.
[Aaaaaah, how dare they! They actually cheated on each other on a variety show!]
At this moment, everyone in the live stream also became excited.
[Ahhh, how come it's Yan Yulan and Chu Xiao? Aren't they brother-in-law and sister-in-law? Why are they hugging and kissing?]
[Reality is even more dramatic than fiction! These two actually got together.]
[Am I the only one who doesn't find this strange? They almost openly did it in front of Yan Xuelan just now.]
[No wonder Yan Yulan insisted on pulling Chu Xiao away from her sister earlier; it seems she had planned all along to have their affair in secret.]
[That's not all! After they left, they deliberately shook off the cameraman. I happened to be in their live stream at the time and thought it was a bug.]
[ Xuelan is so pitiful! Look how shocked she is! Who would have thought she'd be betrayed by the two people closest to her?]
[ Yan Yulan is such an ingrate; Xuelan treated her so well. And Chu Xiao is a complete scumbag; Xuelan publicly announced him as her boyfriend during her rise to fame, and then he cheated on her with her own sister.]
[Don't cry, Xuelan. Focus on your career from now on. Love will only slow you down!]
Watching this scene, Yan Xuelan felt calmer than she had expected, as if the dust had settled and she no longer needed to struggle.
But she wore a look of surprise and disbelief, a tear sliding down her cheek as she murmured softly.
"How could this be... How could you do this... kissing each other... You two were together behind my back?"
At this moment, the two finally saw Yan Xuelan and her staff and cameras, and instantly realized that things were in serious trouble.
Chu Xiao had been working for several years and quickly realized what was going on.
" Xuelan, let me explain. It wasn't what you saw just now. Let the film crew leave so we can talk privately."
Yan Xuelan sneered inwardly. Chu Xiao still had some sense; he knew they couldn't continue exposing their relationship in public. But how could she let him have his way?
After all, how can a play be exciting without an audience?
She knew very well that the photographer would never stop shooting on his own initiative. Even a fool could guess that the current buzz was enormous, and their bonus after the project ended depended entirely on this wave.
Moreover, he was the main character, and as long as he didn't speak, the photographers couldn't possibly bypass him and listen to Chu Xiao.
Yan Xuelan raised her head and looked directly at the two of them. "So, what is your relationship?"
After the question was asked, the room fell silent for a moment. After a long pause, Chu Xiao spoke again, "Actually, Yulan got sand in her eye just now..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Yan Xuelan interrupted him, " Chu Xiao, do you think I'm stupid? You need to kiss someone to blow sand?"
Chu Xiao hesitated, wanting to say something more, but realized that any explanation was powerless in the face of the facts.
Yan Yulan, who had just graduated, obviously did not understand Chu Xiao's concerns. She had been spoiled since childhood and always let things pass by after a little fuss. She thought the same would be true this time.
Since it can't be covered up, it's better to just admit it.
"Sister, as you saw, Brother Chu and I were a little carried away just now. But isn't that a perfectly normal thing? It's impossible for anyone to be completely rational!"
"And you're always so busy, you never have time to play with me or spend time with Brother Chu. We can only stick together for warmth."
Upon hearing these words, Ye Jin, who was standing to the side, was on the verge of vomiting.
This is the first time I've ever heard such shameless talk. What's even scarier is that she seems to genuinely believe it, and doesn't think she's done anything wrong at all!
These words once again caused an uproar in the variety show's live broadcast room.
[Oh my god, this is unbelievable! Infidelity is always the spouse's fault.]
This is the first time I've ever seen such a shameless mistress in real life. How can she be so self-righteous?!
