  Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Lu Jinnian never accepted interviews, nor did he answer personal questions, but today…… Since he sat down, answering each and every question the presenter asked him, till the very the end, where the topic turned to Qiao Anhao, he was very cooperative in the face of the presenter’s nosy questions. Right then, his aim was for the presenter to ask him about the online scandals buzzing about these past few days.

  From the very start, it looked like a regular interview, but nobody knew that it was a trap he had actually set up, one step at a time.

  He didn’t have any evidence that he was the ’Xu Jiamu’ Qiao Anhao married, so he could only use this method to clear matters up.

  Of course, this clarification wasn’t very persuasive…… He couldn’t persuade every single person to believe it, but he still wanted to do it.

  Not only did he do it, but in front of everyone in the world, he wanted to openly swear to treat her well.

  Even if the people weren’t fine with his honesty, what did that matter?

  He just wanted her to be happy-

  Qiao Anhao froze completely the moment Lu Jinnian said, "I confessed……".

  He confessed to her? How did she completely not know about it? When was this?

  Yet before she could come up with an answer for all the doubts she had in her mind, he spoke again with all seriousness.

  Zhao Meng, who was watching the broadcast and commenting, miraculously quietened down.

  All that could be heard in the car was the echo of Lu Jinnian’s voice.

  "Because I want her to know that even if everyone in the world abandons her, I would stand by her side without hesitation and fight against the world."

  His tone of voice was clearly flat, yet he gave people a feeling of shock.

  Having received Lu Jinnian’s feelings, the stunned Qiao Anhao couldn’t help but raise her hand and cover her mouth at that one line.

  "Qiao Qiao, no matter how many people say that you’re no good…… no matter how many lies or how much gossip surrounds you, I will always see you as my beloved princess.

  "I’m so sorry that I can’t share the slanders targeted at you, but I will try my very best to shield you."

  His voice was slow and gentle. When he said romantic things, his expression was just as cold his usual reclusive nature, but the words still warmed her heart.

  She didn’t know if her pregnancy was amplifying her emotions, but tears started to suddenly fall from her eyes.

  Before he left the house, he told her that he’d be busy dealing with work.

  When she knew she was pregnant, she tried calling him but he didn’t pick up. At the time, she felt a little sorry for not being able to immediately share the surprise with him.

  In fact, she was so worried for the baby in her womb that the first thing she did was go to the hospital for a check up, asking Zhao Meng to accompany her. She had been in low spirits.

  However, she never imagined that this man, who left her on her own whilst she was in the midst of the scathing online attacks, had actually stood up to protect her.

  A while back, she had reassured herself ’so what if the whole world was scolding her’. But in the end, she was a Qiao Anhao who had Lu Jinnian. At that very moment, she felt content for having someone like him, even if her reputation was ruined.

  Good men don’t charm you till you’re disoriented, but steadily spoil you little by little.
