Want to protect her heart

Even though he was looking at her, he felt extremely agitated. Suddenly, he said in a cold voice.

"Don't you want to cry? But I want to cry. " He could not see her face clearly, and before he could react, she burst into tears.

She suddenly hugged his arm, crying until she was out of breath. At that moment, he stiffened his body, allowing her to destroy the sleeve of one of his high quality suits. However, he didn't push her away in disgust.

She was so tired from crying that she fell asleep while leaning on his arm.

He suddenly couldn't help but laugh. Just a moment ago, he was still feeling depressed. But now, seeing how she was like a little kitten pouncing into his embrace, he suddenly felt that he wasn't that sad anymore.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at her. The wind on the balcony was a bit strong, but in the end, he still reached out to hug her. He pulled her into his embrace and she unexpectedly fell asleep in a comfortable position.

He hugged the person in her arms and looked at the pitch-black sky. Actually, he knew what she was crying about. She had gotten along with her grandfather in the past few days.

To her, her grandfather's illness had dealt a great blow to her, which was why she allowed herself to cry so sorrowfully.

When he bent down to carry her off the stage, he suddenly felt that she was so light. It seemed that she was also really tired after taking care of her grandpa during this period of time.

However, he didn't expect that his grandfather would suddenly leave the world the next day. Although he had already mentally prepared himself, his eyes still reddened.

However, she cried harder than anyone else. Suddenly, she cried until she fainted beside the sickbed. His eyes darkened as he quickly caught her.

Only then did he know that she was pregnant. He couldn't say what it felt like, nor did he think that he would be pregnant. Thinking back to the past few times he had forced her, he suddenly felt that he really was a bit of a bastard.

This woman had his child, but he could not face her again.

If one had to say when he fell in love with her, it should be two years after Duan Wenyu had returned.

When Duan Wenyu returned, he found out that the person he loved was right beside him.

In fact, a lot had happened between them in those years, but she didn't know a lot of it, and he had no intention of telling her.

To love her was the right thing to do in his life.

All the hard days, all his dull days, she was with her.

That was the end of his memories. He looked at her still sleeping face and knew what was waiting for him outside.

He didn't want her to be the center of the struggle, so he would take all the blows for her. She had complained that he was overprotective, but she didn't know that he just wanted her to live under his wing, because that was the only way he could protect her from any harm.

Without his control, he would be afraid to lose him, so this time, he would still do the same thing. As her woman, all she needed to do was stand behind him.

This time, it was obvious that they were here for the Tang clan, and they had the ability and the motive. He had already thought of who would be the one to do this.

He lowered his head and lightly kissed her forehead. This kiss contained all the love and pity he had for her.

When Tang Hongbo turned around and left, he did not realize that the originally sleeping Chen Xi had unhurriedly opened his eyes.

She had woken up as soon as he had covered her, but she didn't know how to face him.

Therefore, she could only continue pretending to be asleep. She subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead, as if there was still the warmth of his lips on it.

She smiled gently because he could clearly feel his love.

It was just that now that the lie had been told, she needed to use more lies to make the first lie.

She didn't want to be Duan Wenzhuo, she only wanted to be Chen Xi, and only Chen Xi could give her confidence and fearlessness.

She looked at her watch. It was already one o'clock, and she had slept so long.

She had wanted to open the door and go out, but it would be a mess outside now. She was the person involved, but she was sleeping in the CEO's office. If people knew about this, then she wouldn't have to be a human.

However, just as he walked to the door, he saw a note pasted on the back of the door.

"Don't go out. Wait for me here." Chen Xi could tell at a glance that it was Tang Hongbo's calligraphy.

She reached for the door again, and sure enough, it was locked. For a moment she was angry.

She clenched the paper in her hand into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

She turned around and sat on the sofa. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

But, but he had to give her something to eat. She was starving, so Chen Xi beat her to death.

Chen Xi did not know how long she had waited, and she also did not know when she fell asleep in a daze.

In the end, she was really woken up by the hunger. She raised her hand and saw that it was already four o'clock, but Tang Hongbo still had not come back.

She couldn't help but become truly angry. Not only did he secretly lock her up here, he didn't even give her food. Was he trying to punish her again?

As she neared the edge of her berserk mode, she suddenly heard the sound of a lock being turned.

Sure enough, the moment she raised her head, she saw the perpetrator walking in leisurely.

She immediately jumped up from the sofa and walked towards the door with a cold expression without even looking at him.

When she passed by him, she was pulled back.

"Are you angry?" He asked even though he already knew the answer.

"Try being locked in your room all afternoon." Chen Xi was really angry, and flung his hand away.

Tang Hongbo smiled faintly. It seemed that he had really stepped on a cat's tail.

"Alright, it's all my fault, you must be hungry. I told Secretary Wang to go buy some food, and we'll send it over in a while." Tang Hongbo said softly.

She was a little relieved to hear that she had something to eat, but she did not forget her business.

"Now, what's going on outside? There must be a lot of reporters, right? "

Tang Hongbo did not reply her, but pulled her to sit on the sofa, and said seriously.

"You don't need to ask anything, and you don't need to worry about it either. Just leave everything to me."

After Chen Xi heard this, she was immediately unhappy.

"What do you mean? Do you think I've really gotten into trouble, or that I'm the one who did the wrong things? Do you also believe those reporters' nonsense? " Chen Xi asked with a cold expression.

Tang Hongbo knew that she would do this. He sighed lightly, how could he not believe her?

Even if the whole world didn't believe her, he would still firmly believe in her.

"How could that be? I know you wouldn't do that, those jewels were already taken away by Song Zhe, and I believe that they will be investigated, so you shouldn't think too much about it." Tang Hongbo advised gently.

"Why did it have to be me …." Chen Xi could not help but lower her head, burying her face in her hands.

The pain and sorrow were self-evident. Tang Hongbo looked at her helpless appearance and couldn't help but feel extreme heartache.

He couldn't help but reach out and hold her close.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't protect you properly." He knew that nothing he could say could comfort her now, but he didn't want her to suffer alone.

But Chen Xi did not know that there were still matters that had caused her even more pain outside. When Tang Hongbo thought of those things, his eyes could not help but become deeper.

He would not spare any of those who had hurt her.

However, he would find out about these sooner or later, so how could he continue to hide it?

Chen Xi thought of something, and suddenly retreated out of his embrace, as she said softly.

"Oh yeah, yesterday, before the press conference started, I saw Rong Xuan."

Tang Hongbo's eyes darkened as he muttered.

"Rong Xuan?" He knew that this matter was related to him.

Chen Xi also knew about Rong Xuan's personality. Otherwise, she would not have told the news of meeting him to Tang Hongbo.

She didn't know if this was a coincidence or someone doing it on purpose, but her instincts told her that things definitely weren't that simple.

"Does this have anything to do with him?" Chen Xi suddenly asked.

"Perhaps. Don't think too much about it for now. Leave it to me. It's obvious that this matter is directed at me." Tang Hongbo lightly snorted.

Chen Xi was surprised, she had thought that he had come for her, but now that he said it, she was surprised.

"Is that so?"

"Of course. So, you were involved with me and the company. Promise me that no matter what happens outside, you won't be impulsive or think too much, okay?" Tang Hongbo held her hand and looked at her with a heavy gaze.

Chen Xi suddenly felt a trace of unease in her heart.

"Did something happen?" Chen Xi asked.

"No, I mean if." Tang Hongbo said.

Just as Chen Xi wanted to say something, Secretary Wang knocked on the door and came in, holding food in his hands.

Seeing the food, Chen Xi threw what she wanted to ask to the back of her head.

Seeing her stare at the packing case in Secretary Wang's hands, Tang Hongbo smiled lovingly. He guessed that she was really hungry.

"Hurry up and eat." Tang Hongbo took the thing in Secretary Wang's hand and gave it to her.

Secretary Wang guessed that Chen Xi was here, and she couldn't be found anywhere else in the company. So she was hiding in the CEO's office.

"What are you laughing at?" Tang Hongbo saw that Secretary Wang was chuckling.

"It's nothing, CEO, just now, Song Zhe …."

"Let's talk outside." Tang Hongbo turned his head to look at Chen Xi who was eating earnestly, and interrupted him, gesturing for him to go outside.

"What did he say?" Tang Hongbo asked.

"He didn't specifically say anything, but he said that the fingerprints on the jewels only belonged to Chen Xi and her assistant. Therefore, Song Zhe wanted to ask Assistant Li about it, but was rejected by me. Secretary Wang said.

"Assistant Li? "I understand." Tang Hongbo paused before continuing.
