Chapter 814 - 812: Innocence Lost
Although Wen Qiao said this to force Fu Jinghen to change his mood, she knew he was stuck in his thoughts, blaming himself for not protecting her well. If she didn’t say this, Fu Jinghen would only become more self-critical.He felt for her, and she felt for him too.
Fu Jinghen paused, the coldness in his eyes dissipated, and he lowered his head to kiss Wen Qiao’s hair: "I’m not nervous."
"If you’re not nervous, why are you holding me so tightly?" Wen Qiao exposed his lie, "Don’t you know how strong you are? My delicate skin can’t handle being squeezed like this by you."
Hearing this, Fu Jinghen immediately let go of his hand, "I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention, does it hurt?"
"Alright, stop right there." Wen Qiao held up her palm, making a "stop" gesture: "Stop saying sorry, otherwise, when you actually make a mistake in the future, those words won’t mean anything. Besides, I’m the one who was startled today, and instead of comforting me, you’re acting all pitiful, making me comfort you instead. Who’s the pillar here, you or me?"
Wen Qiao’s lips moved, shooting words like bullets as she poked Fu Jinghen’s chest with her finger.
The frightened look from earlier was gone, and she looked spirited, like a little general returning victorious from battle. On the other hand, Fu Jinghen looked bleak and listless, as if he was the one who had been harassed by fans.
"Sor—"
Fu Jinghen instinctively tried to apologize, but the words got stuck after Wen Qiao’s suddenly opened wide eyes glared at him.
"Okay, I won’t say it anymore." Fu Jinghen curved his lips into a reassuring smile for Wen Qiao, tightened his arm around her waist, planning to pull her onto his lap, but then remembered the dirt on his clothes and gave up.
"You’re right, dear. It should be me comforting you, I’m not as good as you in this aspect."
Not everything Wen Qiao just said was entirely accurate.
While they say a man is the pillar of the home, to Fu Jinghen, Wen Qiao is his personal pillar, his spiritual support.
He couldn’t even bear to think what would have happened if he hadn’t been there or had arrived late.
"It’s alright." Wen Qiao patted his shoulder: "Just learn from me more in the future."
"Are you still attending the ceremony?" Fu Jinghen asked her.
He originally intended to take Wen Qiao away directly but remembered how much she valued and anticipated the event, so he carried her back to the lounge.
"Why not? I’m not hurt. Not attending would just fuel more speculation."
So many people had seen her being harassed, and who knows what kind of rumors would spread. If she didn’t show up, people might end up saying things like, "The fan succeeded, and Wen Qiao lost her reputation."
Besides, she’s not some fragile girl who can’t handle incidents. Such a minor mishap is nothing against her resilient spirit.
But...
She looked down at the red dots on Fu Jinghen’s white shirt: "Your clothes are dirty, what to do?"
"It’s fine, I’ll have someone send over a new one."
After saying this, Fu Jinghen took out his phone and made a call to have a suit delivered to the exhibition center.
Watching from the side, Wen Qiao felt that her perception of Fu Jinghen as a domineering CEO had just intensified a bit.
