1250: Extra Story: After the Official Announcement","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1252",1252,"\u003Cp>If Gregory Xander’s comment \"she’s the only one\" was somewhat implicit, then Ariel Zimmerman’s straightforward response was like a public announcement, if not more so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, friends in the industry might chime in and join the fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Ariel’s post on Weibo, the internet remained unusually quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this tacit understanding made the meaning seem all the more real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, Ariel’s private messages were about to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her agent even sent a 60-second voice message array, very bluntly expressing her breakdown and frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel felt quite innocent about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been very low-key already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t directly announced they were together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was giving them enough face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when it’s time to be meek, you have to be meek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finally appeasing her agent, Ariel received another message from Gregory Xander on her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened it, and Ariel’s face lit up entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who had just been solemnly saying it was too late and inconvenient to meet, now sent another message—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come to the hotel rooftop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it wasn’t convenient for a man and woman to meet alone in a room, the hotel rooftop was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel was suddenly happy again, quickly got up to change her clothes, and didn’t forget to spend five minutes putting on a natural-looking makeup subtly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it seems casual, it must be exquisitely casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel never took the matter of meeting Gregory Xander lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to grab her gear and head out, she saw that after Gregory Xander sent the previous message, he sent another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring the little paperman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel felt a bit puzzled, picking up the little paperman she had deliberately kept safe from the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was curious about why Gregory Xander asked her to bring it, when suddenly the little paperman lying in her hand sat up abruptly as if activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel’s eyes widened suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little paperman, could it actually be alive like Scarlett’s?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she saw Gregory Xander had sent a voice message,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve remotely controlled a concealing incantation on the paperman, so when you take it with you outside, you won’t draw attention as long as you don’t deliberately expose yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel blinked, looking at the little paperman in her hand and the talisman paper in her other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the concealing talisman paper she had bought from Scarlett, just to make it more convenient to go out without being watched occasionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Gregory Xander, Ariel decisively abandoned the talisman paper she got from Scarlett and took the little paperman out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gregory Xander indicated, Ariel didn’t cover herself meticulously, but when she met people in the corridor, they passed by without even glancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel held the little paperman in her hand intriguingly, following Gregory Xander’s instructions to take the elevator to the hotel’s top floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, the hotel’s rooftop would be intentionally locked and not open to the public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Ariel stepped out of the elevator, she saw the rooftop’s wide-open door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping outside, it felt like passing through a kind of barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising her eyes, she saw Gregory Xander standing in the center of the rooftop, looking at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he indeed wasn’t planning to have her come out so late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after seeing her Weibo post, Gregory Xander somewhat understood that urgent feeling of wanting to see her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see her too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was just to talk face-to-face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that paparazzi in the entertainment industry can take photos through floors, so I’ve set up a barrier around the rooftop, and the two of us standing here won’t have to worry about being photographed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander explained his arrangements methodically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he’d asked her out, he naturally had to ensure it wouldn’t cause her any trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel looked around, seeing no trace of a barrier, but she believed in Gregory Xander’s words, delighted by his attentiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she jogged to his side and hugged him, then looked up and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So is it okay if I hold you like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander found that after confirming their relationship, Ariel was more passionate and affectionate than before, though he didn’t dislike such intimacy. He only felt a bit awkward, so he nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it’s okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel found him amusing this way and teased him until he pulled her to the edge of the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the city night view, Gregory suddenly fished around in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel instantly became a bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just confirming their relationship today, could he be giving her a ring already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking about Gregory Xander’s family values, she also thought it wasn’t impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like Gregory Xander, dating must be with marriage in mind, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, isn’t this a bit too fast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just two short seconds, Ariel’s mind turned over several times, and finally, Gregory pulled her hand and placed something suddenly in her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel couldn’t say whether she felt relieved or disappointed; when she looked down and saw the little item in her palm, she was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was... her cartoon figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar custom figurine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evidently... the one she used on that two-tiered cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, how did it end up in his hand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel looked up, just to hear Gregory Xander speak solemnly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the time I arrived that day, you had already left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today happened so suddenly, I didn’t have time to prepare another identical cake for you, but... that was your sentiment, so I still wanted to tell you that your sentiment had been received by me before today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agreed to be with you, and it was never on a whim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seriously considered it and definitely felt moved by her, deciding to be with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a reluctant pursuit on her part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and she, it was always mutual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today and in the future, it would also be the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gregory Xander finished speaking, he saw Ariel’s eyes redden again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he felt at a loss, thinking he had said something wrong again, or reminded her of previous sad experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to explain, Ariel had already grabbed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her eyes red, she plaintively asked him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said there’s a barrier here, so no one can photograph us, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander didn’t know why she reconfirmed this point, but still nodded seriously, \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she proceeded to ask,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then can I kiss you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Gregory Xander’s brain buzzed; he hadn’t even responded when the person in front of him lifted herself on tiptoes, hooked her arm around his neck, and unhesitatingly kissed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the rooftop, fireworks suddenly exploded beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were fireworks specifically set off and shot by a film city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their two almost overlapping figures were unexpectedly engulfed in dazzling fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireworks were gorgeous and brilliant, but not as much as the closeness of their hearts in this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This night was perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sea City, Jennings Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers also saw the buzz online, selecting wedding invitation designs while gossiping,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’ve reconciled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel said, with a tone of certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett nodded in agreement but said, \"And it’s not just reconciliation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly that they were together now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Scarlett, Samuel didn’t have much of a close relationship with Gregory Xander or Ariel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he was interested was merely because they were good friends with Scarlett.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he uncommonly expressed some acknowledgment, \"That’s great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Scarlett naturally leaned her head on his shoulder, earnestly echoing, \"It is great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xander also has someone who cares for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Scarlett remembered the message Gregory Xander sent her during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mentioned mountain dragon energy colliding, what was that all about??\u003C\u002Fp>",1299,"2026-06-10T07:19:06.274Z",1,"novelbin.me","89cb551c93505eec7d7d770695f19a8c5d2f156dedbab687199ca8994407502c","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1253","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1251",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
