Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

The sound of whispers never ceased.

The reporter standing in the crowd adjusted the work badge number hanging on his collar and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue pinched between his fingertips.

Before he could put it down, he heard the hum of a car in the distance, followed by a dozen bodyguards leading the way, guarding the black luxury car.

The vehicle slowly stopped in front of the bright red carpet.

The reporter who was broadcasting the program was also very excited at this time. Their platform was broadcasting live across the entire network and could not tolerate any mistakes. If anything went wrong, he would lose his job!

The leading bodyguard bent over, opened the car door, and spoke respectfully to the people in the car.

The first person to appear was Zhao Changlin, who was wearing a well-tailored black suit and skirt. The moment Zhao Changlin got out of the car, the sounds of countless cameras rang out. Her long black hair was blown by the morning sun and breeze, and she looked precious and noble, a member of a wealthy family.

"Hiss... this one is so pretty!"

"As expected of you... Qingshui's number one princess... your aura... is not comparable to those children of aristocratic families!"

The reporters all opened their eyes wide, pressed their fingers on the shutter button, and took pictures frantically, afraid of missing a frame.

"Wait a minute, there's someone else in the car..."

"Wow... Could it be Miss Zhao's biological mother?"

In the past, Crown Prince Changxiao fell in love with a mixed-race European princess while studying abroad. Although the power of the royal family in Europe is no longer as great as before due to the constitutional monarchy, as royal relatives, the minerals and gems left by the family are enough to make them rich and control the economic center of the entire country.

All they knew was that Miss Zhao's biological mother was indeed the princess of the Redburk family, which once ruled all of Europe. The details were unknown as this information was kept strictly secret by the Changxiao Group and the Redburk family.

However, the next person to get off the car was a woman of similar age to Miss Zhao. She was wearing the same style as Miss Zhao, a white suit and skirt, like a snow-capped mountain, attracting people's attention.

Zhao Changlin didn't care about anything else and almost subconsciously raised his hand, feeling Xia Zhiyuan's fingertips falling on his palm.

She smiled, her eyes full of tenderness.

“… Damn, these are… couple outfits!”

"Could it be that... Miss Zhao wants to... come out right there!"

Of course, it wasn’t just the reporters and news media personnel at the scene who were shocked. Netizens on all the major live broadcast platforms were also stunned for a moment.

They never imagined that... Zhao Changlin, who rarely appeared in public, would actually announce his sexual orientation and... his girlfriend at the succession ceremony of Changxiao Group.

"Oh my god, is this true? My husband...my husband is really coming out?"

"Wow... a passerby is passing by, and the object is also very good-looking..."

"Who is this woman? Is she some celebrity? How can she be so capable as to sleep with the famous daughter of the Chang Xiao Group?"

"Upstairs + I'm curious too, why have I never seen this person before!"

Listening to the roaring voices around her, Zhao Changlin remained unmoved. She held Xia Zhiyuan's hand and walked towards Changxiao Group.

Looking at this scene, Xia Zhiyuan was surprisingly not nervous at all. It might be because she had seen too many separations and deaths on the battlefield, and she was no longer sensitive to the "guns and cannons" in the hands of these reporters.

"Excuse me, is this female companion next to Miss Zhao a person who is related to the succession ceremony of Changxiao Group today?"

"Miss Zhao..."

The voices of reporters floated in the distance, and then countless microphones were placed on the bodyguard's shoulders. The reporters in the front row were also eager to know the answer and wanted to know the origins of the lady standing next to Zhao Changlin.

Listening to these people's questions, Zhao Changlin did not get angry or annoyed. Instead, he was contented and stood next to the microphone that was the longest extended.

He replied calmly, "It does matter."

These three words were like thunder in their ears. All the reporters paused what they were doing and listened attentively to Chang Xiao's next answer.

"She is my love."

"She will also be my lifelong partner."

These two short sentences brought silence to the scene again. The reporters' speculations were finally verified. This time, Miss Zhao directly announced her significant other!

You know, in the past few years, Changxiao Group has always kept its heirs secret, and even the materials were very few. However, when Zhao Changlin made his first appearance at his 18th birthday party, it caused a sensation in the entire Qingshui City and made him the dream lover in the hearts of countless people. He is rich, tall, and breathtakingly beautiful, and he is the only heir to the entire business empire.

Who wouldn’t be moved by this?

But compared to the frequent scandals among the rich second-generation relatives and friends around her, Zhao Changlin can be described as a flower on the mountain top. She has almost no shortcomings. There are frequent reports that she has a master's and doctoral degree, but there is no scandal.

I didn’t expect that the first announcement today was made by paparazzi, but it gave these major magazines a good opportunity!

"I hope you won't speculate about my lover's background and family. I was the one who fell in love with her first."

Zhao Changlin responded openly without hiding anything, and she didn't like to hide anything either.

Faced with His Highness's high-profile display of love, Xia Zhiyuan did not back off. However, the slight blush on her earlobe betrayed what she was thinking.

She looked at the media and made her own choice unwaveringly.

Such a grand scene seemed no different from the wedding in his dreams.

Feeling the touch of his fingertips, Zhao Changlin looked back at Xia Zhiyuan, and walked past the reporter with his long legs.

However, at the other end of the red carpet, Di Ping was holding a black parasol and lowering his head to open the car door. There was quite a bit of commotion here, but all the reporters were just focusing on Miss Zhao's high-profile display of love for her partner, so they missed the sight of another luxury car driving into the venue.

They speculated that the people in the car should be senior shareholders of Changxiao Group who came to attend the handover ceremony of Changxiao Group.

However, the moment the car door opened, the reporters were stunned. They saw a woman with mixed-race appearance, with long golden hair flying in the air and a pair of sunglasses on her head.

The woman looked indifferent at the camera and walked straight to where Zhao Changlin was. She had a bunch of colorful flowers on her arms, which emitted a lingering fragrance in the early morning.

"This...this can't be..."

A vague guess gradually materialized in everyone's mind. The woman with long golden hair approached Zhao Changlin. Her face looked somewhat familiar, which made Zhao Changlin stand there in a daze for a moment.

It's the Queen Mother...

But the long hair that looked like golden silk made her stunned for a few seconds and she almost couldn't recognize her.

Noticing the prince's strange emotions, Xia Zhiyuan soothed his wrist with her fingers. Her movements were gentle, and she looked directly at the woman who was striding towards her.

Until a bunch of flowers came in front of the two of them.

"Changlin, long time no see."

The woman spoke quietly and rarely smiled.
