76 The Hong Men Banquet 7 (1/2)

When Xu Jing stepped out of Spring Leaf Café, he looked left and right before his gaze settled on a familiar sight. It was their family car.

With the car as the focus of his gaze, he soon spotted Joann rushing towards it.

Wasting no time, Xu Jing ran after his wife, yelling, ”Joann, wait!”

His loud voice caught not only Joann's attention but also the general public around them. They turned hearing the familiar name but it was a complete surprise when they saw it was really the international superstar who was rushing down the street.

As she felt the crowd's eyes on her, Joann thought resentfully, 'Just how much does he wish to humiliate me today? Hasn't he done enough?'

Joann increased in pace, deterring those who wished to take a picture or ask for her signature from coming forward. It was clear that she was in a rush. At least, they were not crude enough to accost her directly. Instead, they stood where they were and focused on snapping her fleeing picture.

Envisioning the headline on tomorrow's paper made her burn up even more. The fact that Xu Jing had not stopped calling her name for the whole world to hear did not help the situation either.

Joann yanked the car door open and climbed into it. She had just slammed the door close when Xu Jing caught up to her.

The man knocked repeatedly on her window, telling her how sorry he was.

'A little too late for that now, isn't it?' Joann started the engine and the car revved to life.

Through the window, Joann could hear her husband say, ”Joann, please listen to me. I have acted rashly and for that I apologize. Hell, I will even apologize to the man as long as you are willing to forgive me. Joann, please just talk to me.”

To drown him out, Joann flipped open the radio and she opened the signal light as she prepared to drive into the car lane.

As the car turned, Xu Jing staggered back several steps to get out of the way. However, this did not mean that he had given up. He ran along the moving car, tapping on the driver's side window, decreeing, ”Joann, I did what I did only because I love you. I cannot bear the thought of you leaving me! That is all! I really did not mean any harm by it!”
