【Wait, am I seeing this right? Frederick Fairfax is livestreaming!】
【Aaaah! Hubby!】
【Jingche, what brings you here? Oh, is it the wind of longing for me?】
【Are you at home, Jingche? Where’s your wife?】
【Where’s the little princess?】
【You look so bundled up on stream—is it winter at your place?】
Frederick Fairfax looked at the comment. He was just wearing a T-shirt—how was that bundled up? Clearly, someone was trying to fish for a peek at his physique, saying anything to get his attention.
“I started this stream to tell you something.” Frederick Fairfax lounged back comfortably. “Soon, Lily and I are getting married!”
The comment section exploded in a flurry of congratulations, with the occasional ‘hubby’ thrown in.
Frederick Fairfax chose to ignore the more possessive comments. “I can’t invite all of you, but I’ll make sure someone streams it.”
【Yes, yes! We want to see your wife’s legendary beauty!】
【She’s got to be even prettier than her photos, right? Otherwise how could she win Jingche’s heart!】
【Get your wife to come say hi!】
“She’s playing with the baby right now. I’ll go ask if she wants to come on.” A faint blush crept up Frederick Fairfax’s ears.
He was a total pro at showing off his love for Olivia Young in front of her fans. But in front of his own fanbase? This was the first time, and he felt a bit shy.
【If I were your wife, I’d refuse!】
【Hehe, I just want to see a guy cry from love unreturned!】
【Wife, mess with him a little!】
Frederick Fairfax glanced at the comments. “Whose fans are you people, anyway?”
【Big bro, we’re your dowry fans—came with the marriage!】
【We used to be your fans, now we belong to your wife!】
“Honey~”
Frederick Fairfax called up. “Can you come here? They want to see you.”
Once again, the screen filled with ‘wifey’ comments.
【Wife! I’m saving this as my ringtone!】
【Wifey, wifey, wifey’s here!】
【Movie King, you’re actually sulking cutely~】
【Aaagh, I’m done for.】
【Falling for a married man—is it my sin or my fate?】
“Alright, I’m coming.”
They couldn’t hear Olivia Young’s voice, but from the upward curve of Frederick Fairfax’s lips, they could tell she’d agreed.
【She’s coming! Quick, unbutton your shirt!】
【Show those abs—tempt your wifey for us!】
【You bunch of thirsty pervs—like she doesn’t get enough behind the scenes, does she need him undressing on cam? (Though… I wouldn’t mind.)】
Frederick Fairfax eyed the barrage of comments. These cheeky little troublemakers!
A few minutes later, the door to the study opened. In frame appeared a flowing red dress and a pair of long, slender, pale legs.
【Oh my god! Every step goes straight to my heart—she’s stunning!】
【That body! I can only imagine how gorgeous these two are together.】
【I can imagine—vividly!!】
【Please, just give us a kiss—as a favor to your loyal fans!】
【Leopard-leopard, kitty-cat, I’m here for you!】
【If I could reincarnate, I’d request to be the second baby of Jingxi CP!*】
(Note: ‘Jingxi CP’ is the fan ship name for Jingche and Xiyue. ‘CP’ stands for ‘couple pairing.’)
Frederick Fairfax lowered his arm and unfolded his long legs. Olivia Young perched daintily on his lap, her breathtakingly beautiful face coming into view.
“Hi there, Jingche’s fans! Good evening!”
Olivia Young greeted them with a bright, mischievous smile, her lips painted red, eyes sparkling—a visual knockout.
【Ahhhhhh!】
【Sis, how can one face be so bewitching?】
【Goddess-level face, even Nuwa—the legendary creator of beauty—would be amazed!】
【I can’t imagine how adorable their little princess must be.】
Frederick Fairfax, fingers resting on Olivia Young’s waist, felt a swell of pride at the way comment after comment praised his wife.
Though, some of those comments were a bit much.
【Lily! Wifey!】
【Sis, will you divorce him? I’ll propose on the spot!】
【Just break up already, you two don’t even match!】
【My wife is so gorgeous!】
Frederick Fairfax gently tugged Olivia Young closer. “Don’t get too close to the screen, you’ll blind them.”
【Someone’s jealous~】
【It’s just the camera, don’t be so stingy.】
【I’m dibsing this face for my next life, let me get a proper look!】
【Sis, do you have a Douyin (Chinese TikTok) account? I want to follow you!】
【Can you stream more often? We want to see you!】
Olivia Young’s bright eyes twinkled as she read the comments, lips tugging upward. “Thank you all for liking me, but honestly, I don’t post anything. I’m rarely active on my account.”
“Yeah! I don’t even know her account info, so you guys have no chance.”
Olivia Young shot him a surprised glance—was that something to say on a livestream?
“Her Weibo’s a secret alt, too. The last one I found, she deleted right away. I don’t even know which is which anymore.”
The more Frederick Fairfax went on, the more aggrieved he sounded. He practically drooped his chin on Olivia Young’s shoulder. “You all talk some sense into her for me.”
Since it was a livestream, Olivia Young kept her pleasant expression. Inside, though, she was fuming. Frederick Fairfax, you’re dead meat! Tonight you’re sleeping in the guest room for sure.
“My daily life is honestly pretty dull. There’s nothing I really want to post.” She patted Frederick Fairfax’s cheek lightly. “You guys want to see him anyway—I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he posts more on Weibo and Douyin.”
【Sis, you get us!】
【You’re totally an angel!】
【How come big bro’s mouth almost reached his ear after getting patted on the face?】
【Secretly loving it, aren’t you, bro!】
【Rule for a happy relationship: man’s gotta be head over heels!】
【Wait—so is he your boyfriend, husband, or fiancé? Which is it?】
【Shh!】
“Will you post more?” Olivia Young nudged Frederick Fairfax with her elbow. “Hmm?”
“I will.”
“Alright then, I’ll leave you to your stream.”
Olivia Young tried to get up, but Frederick Fairfax held her fast around the waist.
“Wife, stay and stream with me a bit longer.”
Why act so clingy on cam?
“Your fans want to chat with you, not me,” Olivia Young whispered. “Let go.”
“Fine~”
Frederick Fairfax finally let go of her waist.
As she rose, Frederick Fairfax stood up as well, caught her hand—and suddenly dropped to one knee.
【Aaahhhh!!!】
【Is this a proposal?!】
【Wait, weren’t they already married? No proposal before?】
【Dragged her on camera just to show off!】
【I’ll take that dog food1 first!】
(1: In internet slang, ‘dog food’ means public displays of affection that make singles envious.)
Frederick Fairfax produced a diamond ring as big as a dove’s egg. “Olivia Young, will you marry me?”
They’d been so busy with the kids that she hadn’t even worn the last ring he gave her. Her fingers were bare—just right for another ring.
Olivia Young stretched out her right hand. “I will!”
Across the screens, loyal fans everywhere felt their hearts shatter at the sight.
Frederick Fairfax really knew how to break hearts.
He did this on purpose for sure. This man—even chose a proposal livestream to crush them.
Frederick Fairfax’s heart pounded so hard it felt like a drum. He’d never been this nervous on a film set or accepting an award. His hands even trembled as he slipped the ring onto Olivia Young’s finger.
The moment the ring was on, he jumped up, hugged Olivia Young by the waist, and kissed her full on the lips.
The comment section erupted.
【They kissed! They kissed!】
【Throwing confetti!】
【More kisses, please—we love it!】
【So much chemistry—I’m dying! Is this even allowed?】
And then, the screen went black.
A message popped up: Due to suspected violation of guidelines, this stream is under review.
The comments were filled with confusion at first, then resignated jokes.
【What’s there to ‘review’? The hosts are too busy kissing to care about guidelines.】
【Shh, let’s keep the world on mute and just listen to the smooches.】
【No joke—they’re kissing so loud we can hear it!】
【Darn it, I want visuals!】
【Ugh! And they just ended the stream!】
【Guess they switched off because what comes next isn’t allowed on camera! Why can’t I be a surveillance camera in the Feng household?】
【Reborn as the CCTV in Frederick Fairfax’s house…】
