Xiang Yang’s grievance, fear, and regret all turned into tears that flowed out, wetting the front of Shi Ke’s clothes. Remembering that this was his military uniform, she quickly lifted her head from his chest. Then, she felt extremely aggrieved and reached out to hit Shi Ke’s shoulder twice, bawling as she did so.
Shi Ke pressed her head back against his chest so she could cry into it. He’d never seen her so hurt before, and his heart ached. He bent down, pulled her into his embrace, and pressed his face against her forehead. “There, there, don’t cry. Let’s go home. My comrades are outside, waiting to meet you. It would be a little embarrassing for them to see you crying.”
Xiang Yang hastily stopped crying and sniffled softly. She tried to struggle out of his arms, but Shi Ke refused to let her go and simply carried her out. Xiang Yang was already exhausted from everything she’d been through that day, so she just buried her face in his chest and let him carry her away. She wouldn’t return to this place again, so it didn’t matter if she embarrassed herself or not.
Shi Gao’s heart shattered when she stepped out and saw this scene. “Shi Ke! Stop right there!” Her lawyer tried to obstruct her, but she ignored him and quickly walked up to Shi Ke, stopping him in his tracks.
“Do you know what this woman did in the past? Do you know what a horrible person she is? Why are you still treating her like a treasure?” Shi Gao seethed.
Xiang Yang wanted to get down, but Shi Ke held her head to his chest with one hand to prevent her from turning around, while his other arm held her firmly to prevent her from struggling.
He stated, “I don’t need to know Xiang Yang’s past. If her past is good, I would feel bad about not meeting her and being by her side earlier to witness her brilliance. If her past is bad, I’ll blame myself for not being by her side earlier to protect her! It doesn’t matter how horrible she is because whatever state she’s in, I will fix her bit by bit. Xiang Yang is, and forever will be my—Shi Ke’s—treasure.”
“Shi Gao, I did know you earlier than Xiang Yang, but we’ve never been in a relationship. Please stop vaguely implying that we were a couple and misleading Xiang Yang. I love no one else but Xiang Yang and I won’t let you wreck our marriage. Cease and desist, Shi Gao.” And so saying, Shi Ke strode past Shi Gao with Xiang Yang in his arms.
Xiang Yang wrapped her arms around Shi Ke’s waist, and Shi Gao screamed wildly behind them. No one paid her any attention.
