Images don't record when I use the creative zone modes while looking through the viewfinder

I have a brand new Canon 200D. I have been exploring the functions and I am so happy with this camera. However, I have an issue and it is frustrating me.

I am unable to take pictures in creative zone modes looking through the viewfinder. When I press the shutter button the shutter doesn't release before seconds have passed. And even then the image is not recorded. I did check the shutter speed. This happens even when shutter speed is something like 125.

I noticed that it works fine with the non-creative modes but not with the creative modes like Manual, AV, TV etc.

I tried shooting the same scene in live view mode with the same shutter speed without any issue like this. It is working as it should. I am not sure if there is something that I need to do to make it work when live view is off. I tried resetting everything to factory setting but still my issue was not resolved.

How can I fix this?
