"Can your expectation for others not be so strict? Don't tell me you've never been hurt, abandoned or betrayed before; don't tell me you've never wanted to be wealthy and enjoy the luxuries that come with it; don't tell me you can live your entire life with your integrity intact. If so..."
"...then who are the people that are currently attacking us?" Fang Yu raised his and Huo Jingjing's intertwined hands and asked, "I'm not married and neither is she. We are an average couple. Why must you throw words of insults towards a woman?"
"If you can't stop your attacks and want to complain about other's personal lives, then please direct all your dissatisfaction towards me. Please stop hurting the person I treasure..."
While Fang Yu spoke these words, all Huo Jingjing saw was the side of his face. But...
...her tears involuntarily started rolling out of her eyes.
She wondered whether, all those years ago, this was the same way he had protected his younger brother. Did he choose to be dishonored by his parents in order to protect the person he cared about.
Afterwards, Fang Yu pulled Huo Jingjing behind him and led her out of the crowd, past all the persistent reporters. Even though it was difficult, he did not allow them to touch a single hair on her body...
Finally, he helped her aboard the van sent by Hai Rui and left the scene.
The media still wanted to chase after them, but women who witnessed Fang Yu trying to protect Huo Jingjing (especially a few with cars), deliberately drove their cars into the path of the reporters and completely blocked their way.
If justice still existed in this world, may it last forever.
At times, it was hard to understand why the world was especially cruel to women. Why didn't the reporters occupy themselves with exposing other people instead of clinging to Huo Jingjing? What did she do wrong? She simply wanted to pursue her happiness...
Behind them, the reporters were getting further and further away. However, Fang Yu's grip on Huo Jingjing's hand was as tight as ever.
Huo Jingjing's warm tears fell upon the back of Fang Yu's hand.
Never would she ever forget, that on this day, one man threw his chest into the crowd to shield her from the harshness of the world.
"Do you believe me now? I can protect you from anything."
Huo Jingjing nodded her head. Her eyes were obviously swollen and red, but she tried her best to smile, "I believe you. I've also finally experienced being saved like Tangning. You and President Mo are both mighty people."
"We aren't mighty. Our capabilities are limited...But, in order to protect our women, we can push beyond our limits..." after a few seconds, he continued, "...by an exceeding amount!"
Tears streamed out of Huo Jingjing's eyes as she cried into Fang Yu's arms...
"Don't worry, I will handle it well."
Meanwhile, Mo Ting and Tangning's car followed closely behind. Tangning was pleased to know that Huo Jingjing had found herself the right person.
So, she turned her head and smiled at Mo Ting, "The people at Hai Rui are all loyal and righteous."
"Including Zhen Manni?" Mo Ting lifted one eyebrow.
"Apart from her..." After giving her response, Tangning looked out the window and said helplessly, "Hubby...did you know? My admiration towards you has once again increased?"
"I can tell. The word 'worship' is written all over your face..."
"Following on, what do you guys plan to do?" Tangning could not forget, although Fang Yu, had protected Huo Jingjing like a knight in shining armor, the 'indecent' photo of them was still circulating. So, Fang Yu was no longer suitable as Hai Rui's Director of PR.
