Today marks the third anniversary of my marriage with my husband.
I meticulously prepared a candlelit dinner and an anniversary gift.
He promised he would come home today to celebrate with me.
But I waited from day till night, and he never returned home.
Even the messages I sent him sank without a trace, with no response.
Smiling, I touched the pregnancy test slip inside the gift box but couldn't help calling him.
"Jiang Ming! I..." The call connected quickly, but I was interrupted as soon as I spoke.
On the other end, he said, "Still busy."
Then he hung up without another word.
But I wasn't angry because he's really busy with work.
If I want to know what my husband is doing at this moment, it's not about sending him messages or calling him, but opening the browser to search his name on trending topics to find out his current situation.
I sighed lightly, covered the gift box and placed it on the bedside table, then reheated the food that had already cooled down, still hoping to spend a lovely anniversary with him.
For the past three years, he was too busy to spend time with me, but he always sent me top luxury gifts, quite valuable.
At my request this year, he promised to come home.
However, it seems I miscalculated again today.
After reheating the food, I sat at the dining table for a while longer.
Suddenly, my phone screen lit up with a notification.
"Breaking! Top celebrity Jiang Ming in a three-month love affair with junior Tian; rooftop kiss!"
Jiang Ming is my husband, hailed as possessing perfect looks and the reigning three-time Film Emperor at twenty-one, a top-tier celebrity.
He can blink at the camera and make several trending topics, inciting the fervent adoration of countless fangirls.
He's twenty-seven this year, married to me for three years, yet rumors constantly surround him.
Because we are secretly married.
Everyone still thinks he's single, and there are many rumors about him outside.
Anyone standing next to him, regardless of gender, will be noticed, the attention skyrockets, and their value increases significantly.
Jiang Ming doesn't care about these boring gossip and rumors, never explaining them.
I clicked on that push notification, and a picture immediately popped up.
The image made my breathing stop for a moment.
This evening's push isn't baseless speculation; that fiery kissing photo from the side is undoubtedly him!
When he kisses me, he also likes to place his hand on my waist, extend his fingers to lift my chin, leaning as he wholeheartedly kisses my lips with closed eyes.
The online discourse exploded, as Tian Tian and Jiang Ming's new drama just aired these past two days, but they filmed an ancient fantasy drama.
In this picture, the styling of both is obviously modern!
So this is definitely not a scene from the drama, but a candid photo taken by paparazzi!
Suddenly, everyone was discussing Jiang Ming and Tian Tian's relationship.
Unexpectedly, because their chemistry in the drama was so strong, both fans and the public were very optimistic about their relationship.
I frowned and scrolled through one real-time post after another, suddenly discovering that Tian Tian had immediately responded to this rumor.
"Just a good junior-senior relationship with Teacher Jiang! The promotional account is just making baseless speculations with staged photos!"
She denied it very quickly, but it still left me a bit unsettled.
My premonition was correct.
One minute after her response was posted, the paparazzi account released another bombshell!
It's a short ten-second video!
