The press conference began, and the reporters in the audience grew excited, none wanting to miss such a good opportunity.
There was no host for this press conference; Chen Yutong was solely responsible for the entire event, which made it remarkably special.
Chen Yutong, dressed in an elegant gown, walked onto the stage, the spotlight focused entirely on her.
Now a married woman, her status had not altered her appearance; she even seemed more mature.
As a result, the comments on the live stream were filled with praise for Chen Yutong.
"I am very grateful to all of you for attending my personal press conference despite your busy schedules."
At this, a murmur spread through the audience.
"I know that such personal press conferences are extremely rare, but I felt compelled to make this decision. It is for myself, and equally for my beloved husband, Zhan Yangyi."
Chen Yutong took a deep breath as she spoke, "I apologize for occupying so much public attention recently due to matters concerning my husband and me. However, here, I must offer an explanation for past events."
The audience listened quietly as Chen Yutong spoke, not a sound breaking the silence.
"My relationship with my husband began at a banquet a year ago. We hit it off immediately upon meeting. However, I must admit something here: at that time, I was not easily moved by him. This is because in my heart, there was always someone I had admired for a long time, someone I had pursued relentlessly. When I was in danger, it was that person who stepped forward and rescued me from adversity. Therefore, I always wanted to find an opportunity to pursue that person, to stand by his side."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng's heart tightened. She knew very well who Chen Yutong was referring to. Although Chen Yutong no longer harbored feelings for Zhan Mohan, Wei Yumeng still felt a twinge of unease.
Chen Yutong's gaze was filled only with sincerity and honesty, "The reason I met Mr. Zhan Yangyi back then was also because he was very close to the person I admired. I thought that through him, I could reach that person."
As she spoke, Chen Yutong's face showed deep regret, "But with the passage of time, I realized that everything had changed long ago. Mr. Zhan Yangyi had already replaced the person I had long pursued, becoming the most important person in my heart."
Tears welled up and streamed down her cheeks, "In fact, what you know is not wrong. My husband and I did indeed have some misunderstandings, which led him to want a divorce. The reason I am holding this press conference today is to ask everyone present to be witnesses to our relationship. I swear here that my feelings for Mr. Zhan Yangyi are genuine and not at all fabricated."
Although Zhan Yangyi seemed to be engrossed in his work, Ren Zhao could tell he was unsettled.
Even though Zhan Yangyi was not present, Ren Zhao knew that Zhan Yangyi cared deeply about this matter.
During a break, Ren Zhao opened his phone and, at the risk of being punished by Zhan Yangyi, broadcast the press conference.
"The reason I am holding this press conference today is to ask everyone present to be witnesses to our relationship. I swear here that my feelings for Mr. Zhan Yangyi are genuine and not at all fabricated. I hope he will give me another chance. I want to use the rest of my life to love this man with all my heart."
Hearing this, Zhan Yangyi paused slightly and looked in Ren Zhao's direction.
Chen Yutong's voice continued, "After the press conference, whether Mr. Zhan Yangyi accepts me or not, I will wait and wait for him to give me this chance, to let me return to his side."
Zhan Yangyi clenched his fist, his eyes filled with a mixture of emotion, tenderness, and helplessness.
Seeing Zhan Yangyi's demeanor, Ren Zhao knew he was wavering.
"Mr. Zhan, perhaps you should go back and see your wife today?" Ren Zhao suggested.
Zhan Yangyi did not reply, but Ren Zhao knew he would go back.
The press conference concluded smoothly, and the direction of online discourse began to shift.
"I truly never expected Chen Yutong to be so devoted to Zhan Yangyi. It's so touching."
"Mr. Zhan, please come out and see! Don't miss this person who loves you."
More and more people began posting online, hoping Zhan Yangyi would reconcile with Chen Yutong and give her another chance.
However, seeing these comments did not lift Chen Yutong's spirits, as she had been unable to contact Zhan Yangyi since the press conference ended.
She had also called Zhan Yangyi, but, as expected, Ren Zhao answered.
"I'm sorry, Madam. Mr. Zhan cannot take your call right now. He is busy handling urgent work matters."
"It's alright..." Chen Yutong sighed. She was almost accustomed to such excuses.
"Madam, please don't worry. When Mr. Zhan takes a break, I will inform him that you called."
Chen Yutong shook her head, "No need. Please don't disturb his work because of me."
With that, she hung up the phone.
Still no progress?
Chen Yutong lowered her head. She had revealed her true feelings to the public. Would that still not move Zhan Yangyi?
Although Chen Yutong was unwilling to give up easily, if she could not convince Zhan Yangyi no matter what, should she still persevere?
Perhaps it was because the press conference had exhausted her, and with that thought, she drifted off to sleep.
She suddenly woke up feeling someone pick her up.
"Yangyi, you're back?" Chen Yutong was so afraid she was dreaming that she reached out to touch Zhan Yangyi's face.
Zhan Yangyi did not flinch; he simply held her and continued walking forward.
Chen Yutong quietly looked at Zhan Yangyi's profile. Without even realizing it, a smile spread across her face.
Zhan Yangyi placed her on the bed, "Since you're tired, rest here. Sleeping in the living room might catch a chill."
"Um..." Chen Yutong sat on the bed, unsure how to begin.
Uncharacteristically, Zhan Yangyi did not show any impatience. His patient gaze gave Chen Yutong the courage to speak.
"That press conference, did you watch it?" Chen Yutong asked softly.
"Mm."
Initially, Zhan Yangyi had not watched it, but he later retrieved the video and watched it again.
Chen Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Zhan Yangyi hadn't watched it at all, and she wouldn't know what to do then.
"So... after you watched it, what did you think? Can you tell me?" Chen Yutong asked with anticipation.
