Chapter 128


    The opening was actually cooked up by Phoebe after hearing their story, and she spotted it that


    night. She thought it was kinda fun, but was afraid Ethan wouldn''t be into it, so she kept it under


    wraps.


    When the host read it out, she couldn''t help but sneak a peek at Ethan. He just cracked a smile,


    apparently not turned off by the opening, which put Ines at ease. After the host got the crowd jazzed


    up, they handed it over to Phoebe. Phoebe, with a grin, said, "Hi y''all, I''m here to steal Olivia''s job


    today. She said Mr. Meyer''s aura is too powerful for her to handle, so she sent me, the young gun. I


    don''t mind if you guys give me a hard time, so here I am."


    The moment Phoebe dropped this bomb, the room went ballistic. Because the host, Olivia, is just


    23, and Phoebe looks older than her, not because she looks old, but because she has a certain


    charm thates with age. The vibe in the room didn''t take a hit despite the sudden switch in


    hosts. Under Phoebe''s lead, Ethan and Ines greeted the audience one after another. Both are


    strikingly beautiful, especially when Ethan opened his mouth, all the female audience members


    went nuts, some even couldn''t help but stand up and apud.


    Phoebe then said, "Everybody chill. I''m not hosting today, just thought I''d crack a few jokes. I got a


    box here with a bunch of questions about Mr. Meyer and his wife''s work and love life. We''ll let a


    lucky audience member draw a question, whatever they draw, I''ll ask. What do you guys think?"


    Many of the female audience members are socialites, naturally, what they care about most is


    Ethan''s love life. They all raised their hands to draw.


    What was originally a somewhat serious talk show today has be more like a live event.


    Phoebe chose the lucky audience member by tossing a flower wreath backward, facing away from


    the audience. The first lucky duck was a woman who excitedly ran up and drew a piece of paper


    from the box in Phoebe''s hand.


    Phoebe, with augh, said, "Beautifuldy, please read out loud the question you''ve got."


    The woman looked at Ines and asked, "Mrs. Meyer, how many abs does Mr. Meyer have?"

    Hearing this question, Ines''s mouth twitched, and Ethan instantly gave her a look that was hard to


    read. Ines felt her scalp tingle, and it took her a while to whisper, "Eight."


    The room immediately burst intoughter. Phoebe quickly tried to smooth things over, "Everybody


    calm down, Mrs. Meyer must be feeling shy."


    The next question was for Ethan, exactly the one Ines was worried about.


    Why hadn''t he married before, and suddenly registered a marriage with her? Just as she feared.


    She lifted her gaze to Ethan, only to find him not returning her look. He wore a furrowed brow,


    seemingly contemting the right way to articte his response. After a brief silence, he voiced,


    "I''ve always maintained that stumbling upon a soulmate is a matter of great fortune. Should you not


    cross paths with her, there''s no need to forge a bond in the name of marriage with someone for


    whom you harbor no feelings. Equally, there''s no requirement to conform to societal conventions


    that dictate what should be done at a specific age. If one can lead a fulfilling life, then that is


    sufficient in itself."


    His deep voice was like the slow flow of cello notes, without fancy rhetoric, neither exaggerated nor


    direct. Yet everyone could feel his seriousness at this moment.


    The room fell silent, but Ines felt a soft pang of sorrow, feeling sorry for his past experiences.


    Phoebe pursed her lips, nced at Ines with teary eyes next to her, and then said, "Mr. Meyer, I bet


    Mrs. Meyer next to you has questions. It''s said that you met her at a blind date dinner, and you


    didn''t know each other before. How did you know she is your other half?"


    "Love at first sight." Ethan said bluntly, with no extra words. It seemed that this alone was a good


    enough answer to the question.


    Ines didn''t know how the rest of the interview went. She just answered Phoebe and the audience''s


    questions ording to the answers she had prepared beforehand, with Ethan''s words echoing in


    her mind. Not until Phoebe''s voice came did she fullye back to reality.


    "That''s it for today''s interview. For more exclusive coverage on Mr. and Mrs. Meyer, stay tuned for


    tomorrow''s magazine''s fifth issue entertainment cover story."


    Once ensconced in the car, Ines''s emotions finally steadied. She turned to Ethan with a solemn look


    and voiced the question that had been lingering in her heart, "You''ve mentioned before that our


    marriage was born out of suitability, haven''t you? Was that merely a performance for our audience?"


    She had posed this question more than once before, his response unwavering each time.


    Ethan cupped her face, touched her forehead with his, and whispered against her slightly cold face,


    "There''s no need to y to anyone, I always tell the truth. If I didn''t fall for you at first sight, how


    could I possibly let you marry me? When I agreed to go on that blind date, it was actually just to


    appease my grandfather. But it''s you who made me think that way."


    Ines remembers reading an essay before. It described a kind of love: just catching up among


    millions of people, neither a step early, nor a stepte.


    Their paths had not beenpletely separate. But when she liked him, the timing was not right.


    There was another woman by his side, his eyes never lingered on her.


    When she gradually drifted away, even the traces of her once liking him were erased, time flowed,


    and in the moment of turning around, she became his right person.


    She likes this kind of just right, it''s so good.


    She is also grateful that she seized him in time, did not waste the chance to meet after so many


    twists and turns.


    The interview video was broadcast on the TV station the next day, and Ines received many


    blessings that day. People from the firm didn''t know her identity before, but once the interview video


    was out, they immediately surrounded her. She kept responding until her mouth was stiff and dry,


    and then she managed to get rid of them.


    Even the always strict work discipline of the Meyer Group became noisy, with employees gathering


    in groups to discuss. The key is that someone was discovered by Mr. Meyer while discussing, but


    Mr. Meyer just smiled and said, "Don''t forget your work after the discussion."


    Living it up in B City, Aaron turned on his t screen during his lunch break, sipping his coffee while


    channel surfing. However, when he came across an interview on a particr channel, he was totally


    gobsmacked, staring in disbelief at the man and woman sitting shoulder-to-shoulder. Equally


    shocked was a youngdy from E Country. She was a rare beauty with delicate features, currently


    with her long hair flowing freely, sitting rigidly on her chair, her eyes glued to the handsome face on


    herputer screen that she had been missing, her expression shifting continuously.
