At 1:14 p.m., the press conference officially began with two seats prepared on the stage, but only Li Yeqi showed up, leaving the other seat conspicuously empty, highlighting his solitary presence.
The reporters hadn't expected the event to unfold this way and, after a moment of stunned silence, the sound of camera shutters intensified. Zhou Bei hosted the press conference and, after a brief opening speech, handed control over to Li Yeqi.
Amidst the flickering of camera flashes, Li Yeqi had a calm demeanor, no longer displaying the iciness and eeriness he had behind the scenes. He faced the cameras composedly, "Today, I've invited you all here to address the recent rumors swirling online, yes, Yan Luoxi is my wife, and this is our marriage certificate."
