Lily was ready to respond when Director Young gently cautioned her, “Be careful with your words, girl.” Since this was a live show, every word spoken on air carried weight, and the guests had to be cautious about what they said. Director Young, being mindful of the early stages of Lily’s career, wanted to ensure she didn’t make any hasty remarks. 

“I understand, Director Young,” Lily said, offering him a polite smile. She knew exactly what he was concerned about. The question she had been asked was tricky, and she wasn’t sure if this was the right moment to reveal her relationship with Ethan. 

She had always imagined sharing her love for him, but not like this–not without him standing by her side. She wanted the world to know she was married to an extraordinary man, and doing it on her own, without him present, felt like a dilemma. 

The host, noticing her hesitation, repeated the question. “So, Miss Lily, what’s your answer? What do you think love is? Are you in a relationship, or are you still single and open to meeting someone?” 

Lily paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before smiling brightly at the camera. She knew Ethan was watching, and this smile was meant for him. “As Director Young mentioned earlier, love means different things to different people. To me, love is a connection between two people filled with emotions, care, affection, passion, and mutual understanding. But for me, love is Zeal–something you feel deep within for someone. Love is Heartfelt, it’s Everlasting, it’s Happiness, it’s Affection, and it’s Pure.” 

The response left the host and the audience stunned. They weren’t quite sure how to interpret her words. Even the netizens watching the live broadcast were confused, with many commenting on the show’s website, trying to decipher her message. 

Among all those present, only Leon Haris seemed to understand the true meaning behind her response. He exchanged a glance with Lily and silently praised her. He knew exactly how much happiness her words would bring to one person–Ethan. 

And he was right. Ethan, watching the show from afar, couldn’t help but smile brightly at Lily’s words. He felt an overwhelming sense of joy, as if his heart might burst with happiness. During their marriage, Lily had set two conditions, one of which was to keep their relationship private. He had agreed to it, but hearing her subtly declare her love for him, even if her words were cryptic, filled him with immense pride. He felt on top of the world. What excited him most, however, was wondering what she would say next. 

The host, still processing her answer, remarked, “That’s certainly a unique way to describe love, Miss Lily.” 

Lily nodded with a calm smile, fully aware that her answer might come across as odd or cryptic to others. But for her, it didn’t matter. Her response wasn’t meant for everyone–it was intended for one person, and as long as he understood her message, that was all she cared about. 

The host, still intrigued, leaned forward with anticipation. “So, Miss Lily, let’s get to the next question. Are you currently in a relationship with someone?” 

Without hesitation, Lily confidently replied, “Yes, I am in a relationship.” 

The host’s eyes widened in surprise, his excitement barely contained. Over the years, he had interviewed numerous celebrities and public figures. Most of them either dodged such personal questions, responded vaguely, or veiled their answers in mystery. But Lily’s directness was unprecedented, leaving everyone on set stunned for a few seconds. 

The reaction wasn’t limited to the studio. The live audience online erupted with comments flooding the show’s official website:

“Did I hear that right? Lily is in a relationship?!” 

“She really said it! Look at her smile–she’s glowing! I NEED to know who this lucky guy is!” 

“Host, please dig deeper! Who is it?!” 

“I’m dying of curiosity here! Miss Lily, just tell us his name already!”

Even the show’s director caught on to the buzzing excitement. He gestured discreetly to the host, urging him to press for more details. 

“Miss Lily,” the host began, trying to contain his own excitement, “you’ve just sparked a wave of curiosity. Everyone watching wants to know more about your relationship! Could you share the name of this lucky man?” 

Rose, seated nearby, perked up at the question. She hadn’t expected Lily to openly admit to being in a relationship, and now she was itching to know more. Was Lily really about to reveal her mysterious partner? If she did, it might be useful information, Rose thought smugly. 

Lily, however, maintained her composure. She gave a warm smile and nodded slightly before responding. “I understand that my answer has left many of you curious, and I truly appreciate the interest and support. But I’m afraid I have to disappoint everyone today–I won’t be revealing this person’s name just yet.”
