Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 303 - 302: Scandal Emerges

After the performance ended, everyone in the audience remained entranced, as if still immersed in the unique world of opera.

No one knew how much time had passed before the entire audience suddenly snapped back to reality, erupting into thunderous applause, clapping until their palms turned red but not stopping.

This was supposed to be an idol’s stage, yet they witnessed a completely different performance on this stage.

It didn’t seem alien or out of place at all; instead, it complemented perfectly.

[My heart is still pounding wildly, I really love it.]

[For the first time, I understood the beauty of opera. I always thought it was just incomprehensible singing, and their appearance wasn’t attractive at all, but Mia Sutton’s performance this time truly overturned my previous perceptions of opera.]

[Indeed, national essence is national essence, no matter how much time passes, when it reappears in the public eye, you’ll still fall in love with it. That’s its unique charm.]

[Honestly, at first, I didn’t understand why the show would place Mia Sutton’s stage last. What was the intention? But now I understand.]

[Me too; this performance couldn’t fit anywhere else in the program, only as the last act.]

[This performance is different from all other stages, but one thing is the same, which is that we all like it, or rather love it even more.]

[Truth be told, Mia Sutton is truly amazing. She’s so professional in appearance, singing, and posture that even as someone who specializes in this field, I feel a bit ashamed.]

[Moreover, Mia Sutton’s appearance was really beautiful, stunning, with her every smile and frown making my heart flutter twice.]

[How can this woman be so perfect? I’m in love with her. I officially announce that I’m a die-hard fan of Mia Sutton, not budging even with a shovel.]

The live broadcast continued, announcing the final votes and rankings.

But the focus of internet users had changed, and after watching the live broadcast, a large group went online to post on Weibo and upload short videos.

Comments on the internet about this stage followed one after another, almost all of them praise, not a single negative one, because there was nothing to criticize.

It even led to the last episode of "Splendid Stage" breaking historical records in live streaming data, setting a new high.

This was something the platform and director hadn’t anticipated.

The number of viewers in the live room peaked during Mia Sutton’s opera segment.

Even a popular blogger on the internet commented on Mia Sutton’s performance of "The Legend of White Snake" in the Mei Lanfang style, giving it very high praise.

This blogger is known for speaking the truth and analyzing celebrities, so they have a large fan following.

Stars have a love-hate relationship with him, loving and hating his outspoken nature; he’s willing to say anything.

In his previous posts, he usually had a mixed attitude towards celebrities, half praise and half criticism, but in his article about Mia Sutton, he almost praised her to the skies.

Because of this, Mia Sutton gained a wave of new fans.

Mia Sutton hadn’t expected such a good reaction either. Seeing the result made her happy, showing that people still love this kind of work.

The internet buzz continued, and this season of "Splendid Stage" concluded successfully.

At the end, the show’s crew and brand partners organized a banquet, like a celebration party, because the season’s broadcast results were really good.

Of course, they also invited the two mentors. Surprisingly, Mia Sutton was invited to participate.

Most of the others had already left the hotel, and even Lynn Joyner said she had something to do and left first.

Mia Sutton, thinking she was already here, planned to stroll around after it ended, so she extended her room reservation for a few more days.

Then, as she was about to return to her room, she happened to run into the director.

The director was surprised to see Mia Sutton: "Mia, aren’t you leaving?"

Mia, seeing it was the director, greeted him and then answered his question: "I have a few things to do, staying a few more days."

Upon hearing this, the director clapped his hands: "Since you’re not leaving, we have a dinner. Would you like to join us?"

He was probably afraid Mia would misunderstand, considering some of the less reputable dinners within the industry, so he added: "Don’t worry, it’s just people we know."

"Since the show was so successful, we thought we’d have a meal to celebrate."

After saying this, he glanced at Mia.

The reason he invited Mia was mainly because the success of this season’s show was closely tied to her; she brought a significant amount of traffic to the program.

That’s why he wanted to invite her.

Mia smiled at this: "It’s my honor to be invited by the director, how could I not attend?"

Director: "Alright, I’ll inform you tomorrow night, just come then."

Mia nodded: "Okay."

...

Going to a dinner isn’t a big deal, and she planned to stay a few days anyway, so she had time to participate.

She knew well that humans are social beings. No matter how excellent you are alone, you can’t exist outside of society. So participating in some activities is necessary, it’s also a way to build connections.

...

In the evening, Mia lay on the bed, wrapped tightly in a blanket with her elbows on the bed, her feet slightly raised, causing a small bulge in the blanket underneath.

She was holding her phone, looking for beautiful scenic spots around, making little plans so that once everything was over tomorrow, she could have a few days of fun.

This city had plenty of tourist spots, many suitable for winter trips, and Mia was going through them one by one.

Then suddenly, a message popped up at the top of her screen, a push notification from the browser.

Mia usually ignored such things and was about to swipe it away to delete it, but accidentally clicked into it, and the page instantly loaded.

Just as Mia was about to exit, she caught a glimpse of a few bold words at the top.

Her finger, poised to exit, paused, her pretty eyes scanning that line of text for two seconds.

Then she blinked twice, filled with curiosity.

Title: Shadow Emperor Suspected of Romance with a Woman.

Mia’s mind went blank for a moment when she saw those words.

What’s this?

Romance exposed?

With whom is the romance exposed?!!

When did Mr. Xi have a romance? Why didn’t she know about it?

Could it be that she was accidentally photographed with him at some point?
