âBut Yun Nan and I got married because we fell in love; it has little to do with our marriage engagement. We truly love each other. Yun Nan is the best woman Iâve ever met, and I will love only her for the rest of my life,â Shi Nian uttered. âI have a lot of things to do. and the space in mv heart is very small.
and completely occupied. Itâs impossible for my heart to accommodate anyone else, so donât waste your time on me!â
âYou wonât have a chance, because Iâm not giving you any. And while Iâm at it, let me warn you: donât even think of using any improper means to sow discord between me and Yun Nan. I donât care what you doâyou can even hurt meâbut you canât hurt Yun Nan!â Shi Nian stated without even looking at Yun Liu.
Yun Liuâs tears finally fell. Shi Nian shut his eyes once more. âNo matter what, youâve done us a favor. Iâll let Yun Nan know, and both she and the Shi family will find a suitable opportunity to return the favor.â
With that, Shi Nian put on his blindfold and didnât say another word. He didnât change seats with the other team members, no matter how awkward he felt, because he knew that those who didnât know the inside story would probably be unable to resist Yun Liuâs wiles. Even just one person saying anything wrong might result in unpredictable consequences. Shi Nian absolutely couldnât let his brotherâs team be âcontaminated.â
However, he took the matter too lightly, and he also underestimated Yun Liu. A gentle and charming smile appeared on Yun Liuâs face once more when the plane landed, her previous sorrow gone as if it were never there. She followed closely behind Shi Nian, who was wearing sunglasses and had a cold expression, while White Tiger, Dragon, and Gray Wolf spread out in a fan in their usual team formation to protect them.
A group of people swarmed over as soon as they stepped out of the gate. Yun Liu immediately threw herself into Shi Nianâs arms like she was frightened, her face filled with fear. Shi Nian was also shocked by the sudden appearance of a crowd, and when Yun Liu pounced over, he subconsciously hurled her off.
It was a textbook over-the-shoulder throw. White Tiger and Dragon quickly helped the disheveled Yun Liu up, and Gray Wolf stood before Shi Nian, shielding him from the others, and asked him in a low voice, âAre you alright?â
Shi Nianâs expression turned cold as he forcefully slowed his rapid heartbeat and answered, âIâm fine.â
Dragon concernedly asked Yun Liu, âAre you alright? Is everything okay?â
Yun Liu was as white as a sheet, but the media reporters were shoving their microphones at her before she could even shed a tear, shooting out questions at rapidfire speed. âMiss Yun, why were you out traveling with Mr. Shi?â âIs Mr. Shi cheating on his wife and faking being hospitalized?â
âThen is Yun Nan taking over the Shi Corporation to cover up the fact of the upheavals in her marriage?â
âDid the Shi Corporationâs shareholders know about the upheaval in your marriage, Mr. Shi? Is that why they sold their shares, causing the corporationâs stock price to plummet?â
âMiss Yun, rumors are that you and Mr. Shi were childhood sweethearts. Have you two finally gotten together despite all odds?â
âYun Nan and Mr. Shi have only been married for a very short period of time.
Miss Yun, is it possible that Yun Nan was actually the interloper in your and Mr. Shiâs relationship?â
Yun Liu cried but didnât speak. White Tiger and Dragon looked at each other. The way things were going was completely beyond their expectations. They had no experience dealing with media reporters, and even though they could tell that these questions were all malicious, they didnât know how to answer them.
They looked to Gray Wolf for help. Gray Wolfâs face looked as cold as if it were sculpted out of ice. Shi Nianâs hand slowly rested on Gray Wolfâs shoulder as he walked out from behind him. His eyes swept across the crowd like a hawkâs. His gaze was intense, even through the sunglasses, and everyone couldnât help but take a step back as he stepped forward.
âYou guys got the wrong person,â Shi Nian uttered coldly. âIâm not Shi Nian. Iâm his brother! You guys are smearing my brother so indiscriminately while heâs still lying on the hospital bed, so I guess I can sue you all for slander, right?â â What?!â the media reporters thought and stared at each other.
Shi Nian turned his head to glance at Yun Liu and said impassively, âIâm sorry. I didnât expect to cause you to be involved in a scandal. If you want to sue any of them, we can all be your witnesses.â
White Tiger snapped back to his senses and coolly flashed his military ID while stating, âYou guys dare to spread rumors about us? Shouldnât you go back and consult your supervisors first?â
The crowd retreated in unison, making way for Shi Nianâs group. Shi Nian grimly walked through the crowd and strode out. One of the media reporters cried out, âMiss Yun, what should we do?â
Yun Liu turned around and viciously glared at him before quickly following after Shi Nian. âShi Nian, Iâm sorry. Iâm sorry. IâI didnât expect this to happen. Itâs all my fault. Thereâs no helping it; things like this are inevitable when youâre in the entertainment industry,â Yun Liu explained pitifully.
White Tiger couldnât bear seeing her like that and hurriedly reassured her, âItâs fine, itâs fine. Itâs just a small matter.â
Shi Nian didnât turn around. âOur itinerary was decided ad hoc,â he said detachedly.. âThey couldnât have been waiting for you here every day, could they?â
