Chapter 55 - Anything for You, Wife (2/2)

”Of course not…”

Luna couldn't understand what her husband was implying with his questions. Of course, she didn't care if people talk behind her back, but it would be a totally different matter if Hero Li received the public's scorn because of her.

”Since I am your husband, I'll definitely protect you and wouldn't let anyone harm you in any way. With me standing next to you, do you think a cheap woman like Aiko Chen can be compared to you?”

What he was saying was from the rest of the crowd, she was above them as she stood by his side. Since he was the king, would a mere commoner dare to look down at his chosen queen?

Luna revealed a real smile for the first time since she arrived at the banquet. Sometimes, one needed to tell her that she could just be herself. However, she realized that the most important thing was to believe in herself because no one would protect herself if she wouldn't.

Pain change people; it made them trust less, overthink more, and shut out more people around them. Some hearts understood each other, even in silence. Hero understood her pain than anyone else at the banquet hall.

Was she lucky? When someone cared for her more than she cared for herself in this world filled with pretentious people, didn't this mean she found her luck?

”Hero?”

”Yes?”

”Thank you for standing up for me.”

His lips curled into a slight smile. ”Anything for you, wife.”

Luna's mood suddenly got better. Other people's gazes didn't matter to her anymore as she lifted her chin up, walking side by side with her husband as they followed Madam Mo and Jasper's lead towards the VIP lounge.

Hero let her sat down on the sofa before taking his seat beside her. He called out a waiter and took a glass of wine. The waiter offered one to Luna, but Hero was quick to stop her.

”Give Miss Jiang a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice. Her alcohol tolerance is quite low.”

Luna laughed, making Hero raised a brow on her.

”I wouldn't allow you to make another 'mistake' because of being drunk.” He reminded her which earned a blush from his wife.

At this time, Jasper Mo sat on the sofa opposite Hero and Luna, wondering since when did these two became familiar with each other. He'd never seen Luna smile at another man like this.

Hero Li's smile instantly vanished from his face as he regarded Jasper.

”Young Master Mo.” His voice even became colder.
