Chapter 289: Chapter 286: She’s Exposed, Embarrassing!
It had finally become too much to bear, inciting public anger.
The woman fell to the ground screaming, unable to comprehend how the same people who had been on her side just a moment ago had suddenly turned against her and rushed forward to hit her.
Cheng Dongyuan had also just entered and witnessed this scene with Wen Xian, his expression changing instantaneously.
However, at this moment, he gave a few members of the film crew a look, and they all understood and stepped in to block the surrounding crowd.
If anything inappropriate was filmed, it would inevitably have to be deleted, but if it was beneficial for hype…
That was another story!
Seeing that woman being beaten by others, Wen Xian didn’t understand how the situation had suddenly turned around, but she still felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
What despicable people!
Those who pride themselves on moral high ground don’t even look at what they are when attacking others!
Lu Xiao stopped Wen Xian and led her away, leaving the scene, and they arrived at the long corridor with carved railings and columns, finding themselves at a deserted corner.
Wen Xian was still somewhat angry.
“Don’t be , you’ve said it yourself, they’re not worth it,” he said.
But Wen Xian bit her lip slightly: “Aside from being a star, I am also an ordinary person. When that woman insulted my man, how could I endure it!”
What stray man! It’s him who is not the stray man!
She seemed genuinely furious, wiping her face and standing with hands on hips.
Yet she hadn’t realized what she had just said.
It wasn’t until she noticed Lu Xiao staring intently at her without blinking that she paused.
Startled, she raised her hand to touch her face, looking at him in confusion, “What, what’s wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
Lu Xiao’s dark and clear eyes were fixed on her, a wave of emotions churning in his gaze: “What did you say just now.”
Wen Xian was momentarily baffled; what had she just said? It was about her being an ordinary person, not tolerating others insulting her—
As she realized what she implied, she froze.
“Hm? What did I say?”
His frame slowly leaned closer, his usually deep voice oddly tinged with allurement.
Wen Xian’s heart nearly stopped beating.
Suddenly she didn’t dare look up at him, her head bowed, turning her face away.
Her fists were clenched tight.
When she slowly opened her eyes again, she bit back a few words: “You heard wrong.”
With that, she made to move past him and leave.
But just as she took a step to turn away, her waist was suddenly grabbed by a large hand.
Lu Xiao, with one hand against the wall and the other firmly holding her waist, pulled her into his embrace, and looked down at her flush-faced, a mix of embarrassment and frustration, his eyes holding a hint of knowing.
His warm breath fell more and more on her ear, her neck.
It sent shivers down her spine.
As he grew closer and Wen Xian thought he was about to do something, she heard his voice calmly fall by her ear:
“Rest assured, with those words from you, as your man, I will absolutely not let you be bullied by others.”
A light sentence, yet it landed with force.
He remembered well what that woman had said about her father.
He had said that to protect Wen Xian, he would guard her closely and have his family protect her as well.
Although he hadn’t said anything shameful, Wen Xian’s face still turned red.
And her heart skipped a beat.
Even though he had caused her pain before—
