Chapter 366-370

Chapter 366. Courage

"The three songs on the stage were all sung for her," Xiang Hong continued slowly. "I'm usually very rational and calm, so participating in this show is probably the craziest thing I've ever done. Luckily, I succeeded."

Some people crazily asked on the bullet screen, "Is this a confession? Who is the Mysterious Person X confessing to? He came out of more than a hundred trainees to get first place in a variety show, and it was actually for love. Oh my God, even the most daring script writer can't write such a script, right?"

...

"Let's make a guess. It can't be Chen Tong, right?"

Someone immediately retorted, "How could it be Chen Tong? She's just been in a scandal recently. How could the Mysterious B*stard like her? "

"Be more daring; could it be the other female teacher, Ding Shan?"

At this moment, Ding Shan's fans were also panicking. Ding Shan had never mentioned that she was in a relationship! Moreover, Ding Shan had never been involved in any scandals with any male artistes. Ding Shan's fans all knew that ding Shan was a female star who was very focused on her career, so she didn't like to use scandals to gain attention.

Ding Shan's fans were still hesitating if they should clarify that Ding Shan would not be in a relationship with a trainee. However, the Mysterious Person X on the stage continued, "I'm very grateful to the voting audience for their support, so I'll continue writing songs in the future and release a single every year to express my gratitude to everyone for choosing me today. However, I won't enter the entertainment industry. There's no place in the world that's more prosperous than her eyes. I don't want to be liked by more people; I want her to like me."

After he said that, the live broadcast room went into an uproar, and countless viewers screamed wildly at the scene.

What kind of speech was this? This was a confession! Confessing in front of the entire country, did he have to be so high-profile? This was too romantic!

On the stage, after Mysterious X finished speaking, he did not look at the dumbfounded host and other trainees or pay attention to the screaming audience. He slowly walked down the stage and along the audience's passage to the front of the coaches' seats.

Ding Shan looked at Xiang Hong in a daze, her mind blank.

Only then did she remember what Xiang Hong had asked her before. So he had planned this all along.

Previously, Xiang Hong had asked her if their relationship could not be made public since she was a celebrity in the entertainment industry.

Ding Shan thought for a moment. "It's not impossible. To be precise, my real profession is as an actress. I made it in the entertainment industry with my strength, not by marketing my image as a single person."

Upon hearing Ding Shan's words, Xiang Hong seemed relieved, as if he had received some promise. His mood instantly became better.

So, Xiang Hong asked her this question in preparation for today.

Ding Shan's mind was spinning with difficulty. Before she could recover from her shock, Li Yang. Who was sitting on the instructor's seat, pulled her up and pushed her towards Xiang Hong. "Oh my God, so you guys ... Aiya, I should have thought of this earlier. I'm so stupid. What are you still standing there for? Your Prince Charming is here to find you. Go!"

Li Yang pushed Ding Shan to Xiang Hong's side, and she looked at Xiang Hong in a daze.

Xiang Hong looked at her quietly. After a while, he slowly took out a small antique-style octagonal ring box from his pocket.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiang Hong opened the box, revealing a dazzling sea sapphire ring in the middle of the black velvet. He knelt on one knee and held Ding Shan's hand, speaking gently, "Miss Ding Shan, please forgive my abruptness, but I've thought about it for a long time, and I feel that there's no time more formal than now. I want to ask you to be my girlfriend officially, and everyone here can see my sincerity. I know many people like you, but my selfishness makes me want to tell everyone I'm different from those who like you.

I am your lover."

Ding Shan had never expected Xiang Hong to be so brave.

Xiang Hong's identity was more complicated than hers; who was just a tiny star in the entertainment industry. His big family had complicated interpersonal relationships, and they were very strict with the marriage of their juniors.

Yin Hui also revealed to Ding Shan that Xiang Hong was being trained to be the future successor of the Xiang clan. The clan had already taken a fancy to some young ladies from some prominent families for him and was ready to choose one of them to marry Xiang Hong.

Ding Shan knew that some rich and powerful families were prejudiced against the entertainment industry, so Xiang Hong's family would not accept her immediately. She thought they could get together privately, then slowly tell Xiang Hong's family about this.

However, who knew that Xiang Hong would be so high-profile? On the night of the final, he confessed to her in front of the entire country's audience!

Chapter 367. I Like You The Most

At this moment, Xiang Hong's heart was beating very fast.

He was worried that Ding Shan would be unhappy. He did not discuss it with her in advance and did this.

...

Even though Ding Shan said that she was an actress and didn't mind going public with her relationship, he couldn't guarantee that she would accept it in such an elegant way.

Xiang Hong had to admit that he was selfish. Every time he liked her a little more, he would think thousands of people also liked her. This made him wonder if so many other feelings would drown out his love.

Xiang Hong knew his thoughts were childish and not something a mature man should have. However, this thought had always been buried in his heart.

He wanted to make himself special to Ding Shan. He wanted her to know that even if countless people liked her, he would be the one who liked her the most.

Xiang Hong didn't discuss Yin Hui about his sudden confession today. He didn't tell anyone and just did it.

He had to admit that after he met her, his life had been off track, and his thoughts had become crazier and crazier. However, he was pleased. He had never felt so free in the past twenty years.

However, he still did not know if Ding Shan could understand the reason for his actions. Would she think that he was too impulsive?

Just as Xiang Hong looked at Ding Shan nervously, thinking she was about to get angry, Ding Shan revealed a weak but sweet smile. She slowly reached out her hand and waved it before Xiang Hong's eyes. "What are you daydreaming about? Put it on for me."

Xiang Hong was stunned for a moment. Then, his eyes bloomed like fireworks and were filled with surprise. He took out the ring and put it on Ding Shan. He then smiled in satisfaction. "The size is just right."

The scene of Xiang Hong's successful confession was recorded by the camera and played in front of an audience all over the country. Everyone ate a big bowl of dog food. Some people crazily sent out their hearts to express their blessings on the bullet screen, while others sadly said, "The new husband that just appeared is gone, sigh."

However, it was undeniable that the audience felt the romance and passion of love. In this dazzling era, there was someone who could overcome so many difficulties to tell one person, "I like you."

" I like you the most in the world."

At that moment, Yin Hui was giving orders to the public relations team of the Festival Group as he cursed, "Detestable! Why didn't he tell me in advance? What did he mean by that? Is he not going to do my show anymore after finding a wife? He won first place, but he still didn't step out! Oh my God, the audience won't curse me to death, will they?"

Lin Si and Lu Chen, watching the show from the side, laughed without sympathy. Lu Chen patted Yin Hui's shoulder and said, "Aiya, work a little harder. Consider it; you're the matchmaker for Ding Shan and Xiang Hong. You played a significant role in Xiang Hong's success in wooing his wife. Don't worry; he'll treat you well in the future!

"You're the matchmaker!" Yin Hui pushed Lu Chen's hand away.

Lin Si was watching the two men bickering. He looked into the distance with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

Although he initially did not think well of Ding Shan and Xiang Hong, he had to admit that they were both very courageous. Xiang Hong dared to disregard his family's opinion and confess his love to Ding Shan on his own accord during the live broadcast, while Ding Shan dared to respond openly to Xiang Hong's love.

This was a two-way run.

Lin Si laughed at himself. Was he jealous? Unfortunately, he was not Xiang Hong; that person was not Ding Shan.

On the night of the final, Idol Creation Camp officially announced that Mysterious Person X had given up his first place in the temple, so the trainee who was in tenth place was replaced by the ninth.

The nine trainees stepped out. Although Xiang Hong and Ding Shan's love affair had blown up the entire entertainment industry on the night of the final, causing the other trainees to receive less attention, Starshine entertainment vigorously promoted the newly established male idol group and immediately held 20 national tours. They were also preparing to release their first original album this year.

After Ding Shan and Xiang Hong's announcement of their relationship died down, the entertainment industry gradually regained its calm. However, Ding Shan and Xiang Hong's love story was still widely circulated in the entertainment industry. Countless secondary works were based on the two of them. Some people even adapted the reality of 'A beautiful and gentle female celebrity and a cold and proud undercover trainee' into a novel. Ding Shan went from the entertainment industry to the novel industry.

The male idol group 'Zivon,' formed by nine trainees selected from 'Idol Creation Camp,' gradually became a first-class male group in China and progressively went international.

Chapter 368. Break up?

However, there were still some passers-by who sighed at times.

"Sigh, I liked X then and hoped he could step up. He was like a superstar in my heart. It's a pity that he wasn't interested in the entertainment industry. Moreover, he was still Mysterious X and didn't announce his name. Later, there were rumors that his identity was not ordinary, but we did not know if it was true. The second season of 'Idol Creation Camp' is about to start. I will probably continue to follow it, but I will never see a contestant like Mysterious X again."

...

Later on, there were some speculations about the identity of the Mysterious X on the internet, but there was no way to verify them.

Mysterious Person X was like a dream. He appeared in the entertainment industry for a moment, leaving behind a beautiful romantic love story like a fairy tale that disappeared overnight.

The second year after 'Idol Creation Camp' was broadcast, the domestic A-list female star Ding Shan suddenly posted a link to a song with the caption: Mysterious Person X's new single. 'Welcome to the show.'

The number of comments under this post increased rapidly.

"Oh my God, Mysterious Project X greed to release one song yearly? Back then, I pulled everyone in the dormitory to vote for him. It's such a pity that he didn't make a comeback in the end, but if I could hear his songs every year, I think it wouldn't be bad. I'll go and listen to them now!"

"Didn't you guys notice that Ding Shan released Mysterious X's new song? What does that mean?"

"What else can it mean? It just means that the couple is still sweet. Don't you see that this song is a love song? I didn't even hear it, but I knew it was written for Ding Shan or to commemorate their love." Sigh, "I ate dog food last year, and I'm going to eat it again this year!"

"I'm back after listening to the song. It was such a sweet song. I'm sure their relationship is perfect now."

In the many comments, Ding Shan's fans also expressed their blessings. Seeing that the girl they had liked for so many years had finally found her love, they felt a sense of relief, as if their daughter had been married off.

Ding Shan's mysterious boyfriend would write a love song for her every year for the next two years. However, the song was not released on time in the third year.

In the past, the songs were always released on the anniversary of 'Idol Creation Camp,' so the netizens who were waiting for the new song as promised suddenly felt a little nervous.

Some people guessed that Ding Shan and her boyfriend had broken up.

Ding Shan's Weibo hadn't been updated for half a year. The released drama was shot last year, and there was no news of her schedule for the year.

Could it be that because the two of them had broken up, Ding Shan was depressed and no longer had the heart to work?

Ding Shan and Mysterious Person X were the most legendary couple in the entertainment industry in the past few years. The couple's fans were increasing and accounted for many Ding Shan fans. If the news of Ding Shan breaking up with her boyfriend was to spread at this moment, many netizens would be heartbroken.

In reality, love was a luxury. It was not easy for them to see a fairytale-like couple, and they had been looking forward to their being together.

Some people denied this statement, while others asked on Ding Shan's Weibo.

A month later, Ding Shan's Weibo, which had been silent for over half a year, finally updated.

"I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting. The link to this year's new song has already been posted in the comments section. At the same time, I would like to share some good news with everyone. My wife, Ding Shan, safely gave birth to a pair of twins last night. To commemorate this special day, a new song has been chosen to be released today. I appreciate your support."

The picture attached to the Weibo post was of four hands stacked together, two of which were small, and it was obvious that they were the hands of newborn babies.

Evidently, this Weibo post was not posted by Ding Shan but by Mysterious X.

After the Weibo was sent out, the whole internet was shocked. Entertainment marketing accounts immediately reposted it crazily.

"The top actress Ding Shan gave birth to twins last night " quickly occupied the headlines of the entertainment list.

The current Ding Shan could be said to be one of the most popular female stars in the country. She had transformed from an idol to a capable actress in just three years.

In the first year, Xu Zhen, the desperate and crazy housewife in 'White fireworks,' showed the audience Ding Shan's superb acting skills. Her performance had levels of explosiveness and was full of spirit. She gave a character that was not easy to be an outstanding soul. Not only did she make the audience sigh with emotion at this hateful and pitiful woman, but she also showed the psychological difficulties of modern women in marriage and family.

'White fireworks' broke one billion at the box office and became the most famous literary film of the year.

Chapter 360. Achievements in The Business

After Ding Shan's movie was aired, she won the praise of countless Film Critics and audiences with her superb acting skills. The following year, she won the Golden Horse award for Best Supporting female lead for the role of Xu Zhen.

The following year, Ding Shan worked with a famous director in the country, Jia Rui. The movie '10000 kilometers' became the country's Top Box Office and was nominated for three international awards. This movie flowed with the tragic collision of the times and a person's fate. It was a genius work that director Jia Rui had been polishing for ten years. With this movie, Ding Shan swept away three domestic film awards and set a record for the highest number of awards for a single film in the country.

...

In the third year, 'The Peaceful Era,' with Bao Hua as the scriptwriter and director, broke the record for the highest viewership ratings in the past ten years. This TV series told the changes in the fate of three generations of medical families in various periods over the past hundred years. It involved The secret history of officialdom, family turmoil, love and hatred, and the ups and downs of the business world. It was like a grand epic.

In her youth, Ding Shan played the female lead in the 'Age of peace.' Although she only appeared in eight episodes, she showed no weakness among the top veteran actors. Instead, she used her emotional and superb acting skills to stand out among famous actors.

After the TV series was aired, the actress for the female lead, a 45-year-old legendary senior in the entertainment industry, praised Ding Shan in an interview as a true actress, giving her hope for young actors.

With such high praise, Ding Shan officially entered the ranks of capable actors. In the same year, she participated in producing a low-budget film, 'The Genius Novelist,' which became the famous work of the young director Li Dan. Ding Shan's influence and popularity soared again, becoming the most dazzling movie star in the country and winning the Golden Palm Tree award for Best Female Lead with this film.

At this point, Ding Shan became the first actress in Chinese film history to have won all five awards for an actress. She was also selected for the top ten most beautiful people of the year by the International media.

At this stage, the audience looked forward to Ding Shan going international and creating more legends.

However, they didn't expect any news of Ding Shan for nearly half a year at her peak.

Only today did the audience discover that Ding Shan was already married and had children.

Many people wished Ding Shan well, but at the same time, they were worried that she would return to her family and give up her career.

Three months after her pregnancy became a hot topic, Ding Shan's Times Studio released a picture of Ding Shan's schedule for the year's second half. Only then did the fans feel relieved. It seemed that Ding Shan would film abroad in the second half of the year, and she might be working with a foreign director. It appeared that Ding Shan had no intention of giving up her career.

At the same time, Ding Shan's Times Studio was also developing very well. The young actors in the studio, represented by Yang Lu, had become the backbone of the domestic film and television industry. Ding Shan's studio style was the same as hers, rigorous, practical, and never involved in any unspoken rules or shady operations.

She wanted to make the other party pay for his evil deeds at all costs. When the actors in the studio were threatened by capital with unequal party treaties, Times Studio directly contacted their legal team to take the other to court. The lawsuit lasted two and a half years and cost tens of millions.

Under the influence of Times Studio, many domestic talent agencies were also slowly regulating their behavior.

As she said, Ding Shan began to use her small power to change the industry slowly.

..

At the end of the year, Ding Shan finished her filming overseas and returned to the studio to celebrate with her employees.

Yang Lu had set the venue for the gathering. After Ding Shan arrived, Xiang Hong called and said he would be coming too.

"What about the children?" Ding Shan asked, a little worried.

After she gave birth, she went out to work. Usually, Xiang Hong was the one who took care of the children. He had specially set up a well-equipped children's room in his office. He worked while taking care of the two children. Because of this incident, many people in his company called him the "President's nanny." Yin Hui even laughed at him crazily in private.

However, Xiang Hong himself did not care about these things. On the contrary, he enjoyed intimate time with his two children. His only regret was that Ding Shan was always too busy with work and could not accompany him.

But he also understood Ding Shan. Ding Shan had her dreams and pursuits. He was willing to stand behind her and guard her. This was also his promise to her when they were in love.

"I was going to send them to Xu Yan's house, but my parents insisted that I send the children over, saying they miss their grandchildren." Said Xiang Hong with a smile.

When Ding Shan wanted to marry Xiang Hong, the Xiang family unanimously opposed it. Without a second word, Xiang Hong had written a declaration of abandonment of his right of inheritance.

Chapter 370. The End

After that, Xiang Hong held a wedding and invited some friends to marry Ding Shan.

At first, Ding Shan thought that this was not a good idea. She wanted to wait for Xiang Hong's parents to agree, but Xiang Hong said, "You're marrying me. What does it have to do with them?"

...

In the end, the two of them got married. Soon after they got married, they had two children. After the children were born, Xiang Hong's parents seemed to have the intention to relent. They even mentioned that they wanted to see their children.

However, Xiang Hong's attitude was firm. He said, "Ding Shan gave birth to the children. Never look at your grandchildren again if you don't acknowledge Ding Shan."

These words angered the two old people to death. After a while, the two old couple thought that since Ding Shan and Xiang Hong were already married and had children, and Ding Shan's reputation in the entertainment industry had been very good all these years, many of their old friends also liked to watch Ding Shan's movies. At the thought of this, they finally lowered their heads and personally invited Ding Shan and Xiang Hong to bring their children home to acknowledge their ancestors.

However, Xiang Hong still seemed to have some opinions about how his parents had made things difficult for Ding Shan in the past. He didn't want his two children to follow their grandparents, so the two elders had difficulty seeing their grandchildren.

"Alright, then, come over." Ding Shan was relieved.

Ding Shan drank two glasses of wine at the banquet and was soon drunk. Xiang Hong helped her to rest when he suddenly received a call from Lin Si.

"Uncle left two days ago," Lin Si sighed. He read Ding Shan's letter and cried before he left. He said that he had let her down.

Xiang Hong lowered his head and looked at Ding Shan in his arms. "Got it; I'll let Ding Shan know."

Xiang Hong recalled some things from the past.

After the 'Idol Creation Camp' competition ended, Ding Shan and Xiang Hong officially got together.

During that time, Xiang Hong investigated the identity of 'Madam Lin', who had tried to harm Ding Shan. He found out that Madam Lin was the eldest aunt of Lin Si, but she was only the second wife.

Lin SI's eldest uncle was also the heir to the Lin family. Back then, his first wife had given birth to a daughter. However, the policy at that time only allowed one child. Lin SI's eldest uncle was an official of the central government, so he could not break the rules. Therefore, he secretly sent the child away. When his first wife found out, she almost went crazy. She was in pain all day and died in less than two years.

Later on, Lin Si's uncle married his current wife, but unfortunately, she had two daughters and no boys.

Uncle Lin probably thought it was karma that he did not have a son. As he grew older, he wanted to find his wife's daughter to repent.

He had searched for many years but to no avail. The child had encountered human traffickers after being sent to a foster family, and no one knew where she had been sent.

Xiang Hong suspected that Ding Shan might be the child and someone might have deliberately arranged the human traffickers. That was why Madam Lin targeted Ding Shan after discovering she had become a big star.

Madam Lin didn't want Ding Shan to return to the Lin family and compete with her two children for the inheritance.

If Ding Shan were willing to return to the Lin family, they would talk about it. Xiang Hong told Lin Si about this matter. Lin Si was shocked, but Xiang Hong told him not to tell the Lin family.

After Ding Shan found out about this, she was silent for a long time.

Ultimately, she rejected Lin Si's request for her to do a DNA test with his uncle. She smiled and said, "It's fine. I'm living a good life now. I have a husband and children. That's enough."

After all, this was the decision of the person involved, and Lin si was helpless.

Later on, Ding Shan found out that Lin SI's uncle was seriously ill, so she wrote a letter and asked Lin Si to pass it on to his uncle. The letter's content was straightforward: "I don't hate you."

It was a very calm and indifferent sentence.

Sleeping in Xiang Hong's arms, Ding Shan woke up in a daze. She opened her eyes and found herself in Xiang Hong's parents' house. The two children were playing with a tablet on the carpet beside her.

In her daze, she thought that her rebirth was a dream.

"You're awake?" The man's gentle voice sounded, and then a kiss landed on Ding Shan's forehead.

Ding Shan hugged Xiang Hong tightly, fearing that this beautiful dream would shatter.

Ding Shan occasionally revealed such a worried and confused expression, and Xiang Hong was already used to it. He ruffled Ding Shan's hair and hugged her tightly to comfort her.

"Dad, I see you!" The little boy suddenly shouted in surprise and then showed the tablet to his parents.

It was an edited video of a variety show that was very popular a few years ago.

In the video, the man in the spotlight firmly walked step by step toward the woman in the audience, his eyes full of passion.

Below the stage, countless audience members were screaming and cheering, witnessing their love.
