Chapter 117: The Ex-Husband Arrives

[Fine, fine, I'll buy it, alright?]

"Alright, the link for the kitchen paper towels is going up right now. Three, two, one!"

In a single second after the link went live—so fast others felt they had barely blinked—the words "Sold Out" flashed across the screen in large letters.

[What is this? How many did you even put up? I didn't get one at all.]

[I hate these livestreaming gimmicks the most. Can we speed things up?]

[So boring. Isn't this just like every other livestream? Playing us for fools. I'm leaving.]

Su Wanning remained completely unfazed. She brought out the next product. "The in-stock kitchen paper towels provided by the brand are completely sold out, and the link has been taken down. Let's move on to the next item."

[Is it really gone?]

[I don't believe it. It's definitely just a hunger marketing gimmick.]

[Gimmick or not, I'm going for it next time. What if they really sell out? It's so cheap, it'd be a waste not to buy it!]

Soon, the viewers lurking in the livestream room realized that when Su Wanning said something was out of stock, she truly would not restock it. Each link was put up only once. To get what they wanted, they had to rely entirely on the speed of their fingers.

The topic "How Hard It Is to Snag Items in Su Wanning's Livestream" instantly shot up the trending searches, drawing in countless passersby. Some did not even need the items but joined in out of a strange sense of competitiveness just to show off their reaction speeds.

Su Wanning's livestream room was on the verge of crashing from the sheer volume of traffic.

"Everyone is too enthusiastic. The daily essentials livestream was scheduled for two hours, but everything sold out in less than an hour."

Even Su Wanning was surprised by this turn of events. Sitting in the livestream room with nothing left to sell, she felt a sudden wave of emptiness for the first time in her life.

[Get some more!]

[Help! I failed to get the kitchen paper towels just now, and my mom scolded me.]

[Can you put up some more?]

Su Wanning shook her head, her face filled with regret. "I already asked the brand for their maximum inventory. There really isn't any more. I'm so sorry, everyone."

[Pre-orders are fine too! We can wait!]

[For a good deal, I'll wait. Open the pre-orders!]

Ultimately, urged by the viewers' passionate requests, Su Wanning had no choice but to contact the brand on the spot to secure pre-order stock, restocking the links.

In just one short livestream, sales revenue surpassed a hundred million.

Su Wanning's account shot to the very top of the platform's livestream sales chart, and the numbers remained high without dropping.

For the second session, which was a clothing livestream, Su Wanning had Yu Xin and Tian Boyu appear on camera as models, wearing the clothes she was selling today.

[Drooling! Tian Boyu is so handsome!]

[Sister Xin is so beautiful!]

[As expected of a former model! I'm waving the banner for Tian Boyu!]

Seeing his name flash across the screen hundreds of times, Tian Boyu felt a wave of excitement.

The clothing livestream ended quickly, and Tian Boyu shared his thoughts in front of the camera.

"When I worked as a model before, I stood on the runway alone. Although there were spotlights and an audience, I always felt lonely. But for the first time, while modeling, I can directly see so much love from all of you. Thank you."

With that, he turned to look at Su Wanning beside him.

"But the person I must thank the most is Ms. Su. It's thanks to her that I had this opportunity to be a model again and find the passion I had when I first debuted. Thank you!"

As he spoke, Tian Boyu actually turned around, spread his arms, and gave Su Wanning a big, grateful hug.

Su Wanning froze in place. Once she recovered, she pushed him away with a smile. In the livestream room, many viewers began to tease them.

[Uh-oh, the younger brother is so enthusiastic. Won't Brother-in-law get angry if he finds out?]

[Why do I feel like Tian Boyu and Su Wanning look good together too? Sorry, Brother-in-law, I'm shipping this couple for just one second!]

[I'm waving the banner for the Tian-Su ship!]

[Brother-in-law is on his way, riding a horse.]

[@Brother-in-law, if you don't show up soon, you're going to become the ex-husband.]

Su Wanning did not take the teasing in the livestream room to heart and simply laughed it off.

By the time the full day of livestreaming ended, she was utterly exhausted. She slumped into her chair, while Niannian, sitting beside her, thoughtfully massaged her legs.

Su Wanning let out a long sigh. Holding a cup of warm milk tea, she teased the viewers in the livestream room, "Make sure you never become streamers in the future, everyone. It's way too exhausting."

"The next sales livestream? If it's a major themed session like this, it probably won't be for a long time. After all, I'm quite lazy. Oh, I'm so fragile that a gust of wind could shatter me..."

Su Wanning raised a hand, delicately curling her fingers in an exaggerated, theatrical gesture, goofing around for the viewers. But the next second, she looked up, froze instantly, and almost dropped the milk tea in her hand.

"You, you, you..."

She stammered "you" several times, unable to form a complete sentence.

The nearby cameraman immediately turned the camera toward the door. On the screen, Qin Jingchen, looking strikingly handsome in a suit, stood at the entrance with a black suitcase by his side.

[Oh my god, Brother-in-law actually came!]

[Now things are getting interesting.]

[Why is Sister Su so nervous? Don't tell me she actually got caught cheating red-handed!]

"Long time no see."

Qin Jingchen smiled faintly, and the young women in the livestream room instantly defected.

[It's over for Tian Boyu. Sorry, but I still think the older man is hotter!]

[How is Brother-in-law old? You can't tell at all, okay? His skin looks flawless.]

[Su Wanning is so lucky!]

"Daddy!"

Niannian stood up excitedly and rushed to the door, throwing her arms around Qin Jingchen's leg to act cute.

"Haha... Um, what are you doing here?" Su Wanning sat up straight in her chair. Having spoken flawlessly throughout the entire day of broadcasting, she now nearly tripped over her own tongue.

Oh no, why did seeing him immediately remind her of what happened the night she got drunk? It was so embarrassing...

"My work is finished, and I heard it was lively over here, so I stopped by to take a look. What, am I not welcome?"

Whether intentionally or not, Qin Jingchen's words left Su Wanning completely speechless. She could only get up and pour him a cup of tea.

"Would you like some tea? Uh... I only have milk tea here."

The teapot on Su Wanning's table was filled entirely with milk tea. She had assumed Qin Jingchen would dislike such a sweet, cloying beverage typically favored by young girls. To her surprise, he reached out without hesitation, took the cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

"It tastes very good."

"Thank you."

Su Wanning took the cup back and turned away, not daring to look him in the eye.

At the same time, Wang Zan directed the cameraman through the walkie-talkie from behind the scenes: "Don't give Qin Jingchen any close-up shots of his face. Just shoot Su Wanning."

Big shots usually preferred not to show their faces. Since he was their financial backer, they had to keep him happy.

So, the camera focused back on Su Wanning, capturing her current embarrassment in vivid detail.

[This is hilarious! It's not like Su Wanning actually cheated. Why is she so nervous?]

[She's already a mother of two, so why does she still look as nervous as a schoolgirl on her first love when she sees her husband?]
