At dinner time, a long table was occupied by two steaming pots, surrounded by a wide variety of hot pot ingredients carefully arranged, like a gourmet feast.

Except for Shi Fan and the couple Zhou Yu and Meng Yue, everyone else has arrived.

"Wow, this table of hotpot dishes is incredibly sumptuous! We're in for a real treat today!" As soon as Meng Yue stepped into the living room, she was deeply attracted by the scene in front of her and couldn't help but express her sincere admiration.

"Yeah, that's the taste, so authentic that it makes me salivate!" Zhou Yu followed closely behind. He took a deep breath, intoxicated by the aroma of the spicy hot pot in the air. He swallowed involuntarily and said with a happy face.

At this time, Yu Li and Chen Jianzhou were busy placing dishes and chopsticks on the table. Hearing Meng Yue's praise, they smiled at each other and answered in unison: "We have to thank Xiaofan for this. It's really rare that he can find such a complete and authentic hot pot ingredients abroad!"

Xi Yao was busy handing cups to He Youjun, who was pouring wine and drinks. When she heard the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Indeed, these ingredients are so authentic! This is the first time I've seen such a complete range of hot pot ingredients abroad, even tripe, duck intestines, and braised pig's feet. It's absolutely amazing!"

Seeing this, Jiang Xingtong smiled and urged, "The pot is already boiling, everyone hurry up and add the ingredients and get ready! Don't let the delicious food wait too long!"

However, just as everyone was about to sit down and eat, He Youjun suddenly noticed something was wrong: "Huh? Where's Brother Fan? Why can't I see him? He's not in the room either. Where did he go?"

"Gone out? That's unlikely. He was just here processing the ingredients!" Chen Jianzhou was also confused when he heard this. He looked around, trying to find Shi Fan.

Jiang Xingtong also looked around, but she also didn't find any trace of Shi Fan. She thought about it and decided, "You guys eat first, I'll go look for him. He shouldn't have gone out, his car is still parked outside!"

After saying that, she stood up and walked out the door, ready to look for Shi Fan's whereabouts.

The audience who witnessed this scene were now madly rushing in the ocean of barrage in the live broadcast room, leaving their own comments and speculations.

"Oh, this is so weird. Why did Jiang Xingtong have to go find someone? I'm afraid there will be a rift in the relationship between these two people!"

"We were just discussing the possibility of proposing, and then this happened. It seems that boys are sometimes really hard to rely on!"

"That's unlikely. Shi Fan seems to like Jiang Xingtong so much. He shouldn't have an ambiguous relationship with other girls!"

"Don't be naive. Look at Shi Fan's gentle expression. Although I can't hear clearly what they are saying, the other party is definitely a young woman. I can tell from the voice!"

"This is really a disaster, my God! If Jiang Xingtong knew about this, she would be so heartbroken!"

"Shi Fan probably didn't expect that there would be a camera in such a hidden place. He even took off the microphone, which shows that he didn't want anyone to know about this. It's really shameful!"

"Humph, I've said it before, there is no man who doesn't cheat, let alone a rich and powerful man like Shi Fan. Even if he doesn't take the initiative, there will be countless beauties who will take the initiative to stick to him!"

"No, I believe in my idol. He will never betray Jiang Xingtong!"

"Oh no! Jiang Xingtong is walking towards Shi Fan, and Shi Fan is still coaxing her gently. This... I'm afraid something is going to happen!"

"I can't bear to watch it! This is simply a large-scale car accident scene!"

"Don't say that, maybe it's just a misunderstanding. I believe in Shi Fan!"

The audience expressed their opinions in the barrage area, and for a while they were arguing endlessly because of their different viewpoints. The entire live broadcast room was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anxiety.

Jiang Xingtong couldn't find anyone anywhere in the house and was wondering where Shi Fan had gone. Just as she was full of doubts, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the garden outside.

He turned around, pushed open the door, and walked towards the garden without hesitation.

Behind the scenes, Director Cui was staring at the camera screen. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but secretly worry for Shi Fan.

In his opinion, Shi Fan's behavior this time seemed to be really off track, especially when he witnessed Shi Fan deliberately avoiding the crowd and talking to a young girl in that gentle and delicate voice, the shock in his heart was beyond words.

He would never have thought that Shi Fan would show such a tender side to a girl other than Jiang Xingtong.

Now this dramatic scene was about to be caught by Jiang Xingtong, and Director Cui felt even more panicked. He felt that his show was about to end.

He was anxiously trying to find a way to stop Jiang Xingtong, or remind Shi Fan, but was stopped by the assistant director.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" The assistant director said calmly and confidently, "Mr. Shi is much more reliable than you think. There must be something hidden behind this. Do you think Mr. Shi is still as romantic as you were when you were young?"

There was a hint of teasing in her words, as well as some mockery towards her husband. After that, she turned to stare at the screen intently, without the slightest worry on her face, as if she had absolute trust in Shi Fan.

Upon hearing this, Director Cui opened his mouth to refute, but in the end he was unable to utter a word.

He couldn't help but feel guilty, thinking back to his youth when he was frivolous and impetuous. At that time, he was so proud of his success that he almost made a mistake of principle. Fortunately, his wife showed up in time and slapped him in the face with the evidence that the man had ulterior motives, which made him sober up in an instant, and then he asked for her forgiveness. Since then, the couple has been supporting each other, and he has never had any thoughts of betrayal again.

At this moment, Director Cui once again looked at Jiang Xingtong, who was approaching Shi Fan on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Forget it, let's just trust Shi Fan for once. He knew that his wife had a unique vision and believed in her accuracy in judging people. So he chose to remain silent and wait, and watch what would happen.

Shi Fan had just finished washing the ingredients. He looked around and saw that everyone had not cleaned up yet, so he thought about calling Jiang Xingyu.

Because of the privacy issues involving Jiang Xingtong's family, he carefully took off his microphone and deliberately chose a back garden that seemed hidden and out of sight as the location for the call. Here, he thought he could avoid any unnecessary prying eyes on Jiang Xingtong and communicate with Jiang Xingyu at ease.

However, fate always seems to like to play some harmless jokes. In this almost unattended back garden, Director Cui cleverly installed a camera, originally intended to capture the beautiful scenery and weather changes in nature, but accidentally recorded this scene of Shi Fan.

Shi Fan was completely unaware, he was standing diagonally in front of the camera, every subtle movement was faithfully recorded. Although there was no microphone, the audience could not clearly hear what Jiang Xingyu said on the other end of the phone, but Shi Fan's gentle and clear tone, like a spring breeze, was clearly transmitted to the ears of every audience member.

Shi Fan took out his phone from his pocket, slid his finger across the screen, quickly found Jiang Xingyu's contact information and clicked to dial. Then, he put the phone close to his ear and patiently waited for the expected connection tone.

At first, the audience may have felt a little puzzled by Shi Fan's behavior, but soon, as the call was connected, the expression on Shi Fan's face softened instantly, and he whispered softly, "Hello, what are you doing?" His voice was full of warmth and care, which made everyone present open their eyes involuntarily and fell into a brief daze.
