After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 365 - 366: The Truth (2)

Although Leng Zirui had already set up a shield, Luo Xiaoqian still found some surviving reposts, and then she saw those photos, as well as some comments.

Of course, she also saw the headline that was still being pushed to the top of the homepage by countless comments—"Emperor Leng Admits ’Scandal’ Himself".

She frowned and clicked on the related news, reading each piece, each sentence, each word of the news content.

While reading the news, she came to understand many things.

Why he suddenly asked her to come to Sichuan, why he suddenly lost his temper with her at the dinner table, why everyone didn’t mention this matter to her at all... It was because these were all his arrangements, to shield her from the bombardment of reporters, to protect her from harm. He took on everything, including the cold war she had with him.

No wonder he was not surprised at all when he heard about her saving someone; he had known about it all along.

To settle such a big matter in such a short period of time, even if he was Leng Zimo, it would consume countless efforts.

He knew everything about her.

However, she knew nothing about these things and could only add to the chaos, making him worry.

Yu Tong finished bathing and came out to see Luo Xiaoqian staring blankly at her phone by the bedside, walking over with concern, "Xiao Qian, are you alright?"

"I’m fine!" Luo Xiaoqian snapped back to reality, hurriedly handing the phone back to her, "Tired, right? Let’s sleep!"

Yu Tong held her arm, "Public figures are like this. Don’t mind those comments. The public is always led by the nose by reporters. Now, your image has reversed. We’ve done a survey, and now, not only has your support rate not fallen, but it has also increased by a few percentage points. You’ve really ’made a blessing out of a misfortune’ this time!"

Luo Xiaoqian smiled at her, "I really am fine, let’s sleep!"

With that, she curled back into the covers and turned off the lamp by her bed.

Yu Tong did not know what else to say and could only say goodnight and return to her own bed. After turning off the light, the exhausted Yu Tong fell into a deep sleep in no time.

Luo Xiaoqian, however, lost sleep once again. Like a movie replaying before her eyes, she went over every little detail of her time with Leng Zimo, and then she realized that from beginning to end, it seemed he was the one helping her, while the things she did for him were just trivial matters like cooking and eating meals together, hardly worth mentioning.

Leng Zimo, what exactly did he love about her?!

When this question popped into her mind, his voice immediately echoed in her ears.

...

"Kind, brave, sensible, persistent... sometimes a bit silly and a bit dazed, preferring to suffer herself rather than trouble others..."

This line was the answer he gave her over the phone in Prandelad, responding to her previous question about what he liked about her.

...

But were these considered strengths?

Luo Xiaoqian was not sure, even if they were, didn’t many girls possess these traits?

Did she really deserve his love?!

...

"You’ve never been ordinary, and you never have to look up to me. In front of you, I’m not any Heavenly King, nor am I Emperor Leng. In front of you, I’m nothing. I’m just a man who fell in love with a woman, and you, you are my Princess!"

His voice rang out once more.

This line was what he said to her on Taiping Mountain in Hong Kong.

Behind her, came the sound of Yu Tong carefully getting out of bed. Luo Xiaoqian turned her face, watching her tiptoe to the bathroom, and again remembered what Yu Tong said to her last night when handing her the phone.
