Chen Xier remained silent, knowing that saying too much at this moment would only lead to more trouble and fall into the reporters' traps.

In her silence, the questions became sharper.

"Miss Chen, you've also played a mistress role. Could it be that everyone in your life is someone else's mistress"

Wenran frowned; although she was no longer as rash as before, hearing this made her want to slap the reporter across the face. However, Chen Xier remained calm and unbothered.

The staff coming down from upstairs intercepted the reporters, daring to act recklessly under Ning'an Television's building would mean they were courting death. Amidst the chaos on site, a group of men in black suddenly entered, all looking efficient and sharp. Within just five minutes, they had separated all the reporters. The reporters protested, but Wenran clearly saw one of the men in black deliver a merciless punch to the reporter's abdomen, whisper something into his ear, and he immediately fell silent.

Wenran felt immensely satisfied; dealing with entertainment reporters was truly a love-hate relationship. At times they were so infuriating for invading privacy and spreading rumors, especially those from the gossip entertainment newspaper, which made her even more disgusted. She rejoiced at seeing these reporters being beaten up.

Chen Xier was puzzled as to who these men in black were; their appearance seemed rather like that of gang members. Tang Shuwen approached, and although she was kept two meters away by the staff, the reporters still snapped photos enthusiastically.

The eldest son of the Tang family arrived on the scene.

Wenran instinctively moved a few steps away from Chen Xier; as an actress, she knew how to handle her position and avoid getting in the way. At this moment, it was clearly the lead male and female roles' scene, making her presence very obtrusive.

Although Tang Shuwen's reason for coming was unknown, his presence ultimately was a positive thing as it prevented the blame from falling solely on Chen Xieru. Men should protect women from any controversies they cause.

He smiled at Chen Xieru and affectionately held her hand, saying, "Let's go; I'll take you home."

Their entwined fingers spoke of deep affection, dispelling rumors about their impending marriage being rocky. Clearly, they were a devoted couple.

Flashbulbs went off as Tang Shuwen briefly glanced at the crowd and a few reporters rushed forward to ask, "Young Master Tang, what's your take on today’s live broadcast"

Tension was evident in Chen Xieru's expression as she tried to appear calm. Tang Shuwen lightly chuckled and replied, "It’s just baseless speculation; don’t take it seriously. Our marriage is going well."

"What about Miss Zhao then"

Tang Shuwen smiled again, saying, "Miss Zhao once dated me for a while, but that's in the past. Don't make her or any of my former girlfriends an issue to trouble Chen Xieru with; if she’s unhappy, I’ll be too, and if I’m unhappy, someone will definitely suffer."

After his response, he didn’t say anything more and was escorted into the car by his bodyguards.

The car drove off for a while until they were free of reporters. Chen Xieru released her grip on him, and Tang Shuwen did not force it; his smile faded, replaced by an icy expression that made Chen Xieru hesitant to speak out of fear of upsetting him.

For the rest of the journey, they remained silent and tense, hardly resembling a happy couple about to get married. To those who didn’t know them, it seemed like mere strangers coincidentally riding in the same car.

"If you encounter such issues in the future, just pass them to me." Tang Shuwén coldly said. Chen Xuerú closed her lips and remained silent. It was easy for him to say it, but this person's intentions were indeed hard to grasp.

"I understand," Chen Xuerú replied. Tang Shuwén glanced at her sideways; she had always been indifferent towards him, which made him feel somewhat resentful. He had fulfilled everything she asked of him, so why couldn't she give him a better attitude

Unless Xiaoni was around, otherwise she wouldn't pay any attention to him.

He got angry, and Chen Xuerú could sense it, but she couldn’t figure out his mood. She didn’t know the reason for his anger. After a short while of silence, Chen Xuerú asked, "Tang Shuwén, do you really have no regrets"

Although asking this was a bit late; they had already registered their marriage, legally making them husband and wife. Whether or not they held the wedding ceremony didn’t seem to change that fact, but she still wanted to confirm his feelings.

Tang Shuwén thought she regretted it and gave a cold laugh: "Are these circumstances allowing me to have regrets"

His tone was unfriendly and somewhat harsh. However, Chen Xuerú interpreted this as him having regrets, sighing inwardly. He wasn’t an indifferent or ruthless person; on the contrary, he could be described as a gentleman with a gentle disposition. But towards her, he always seemed cold and hard.

"Who were you referring to when you mentioned forcing someone on the program" His sharp gaze swept over her. Chen Xuerú was startled; was he watching the show So that’s why he returned to accompany her for this performance, giving her face to prevent rumors from hurting her

Was it really like this

Chen Xuerú gave a self-deprecating smile. She had been overly sentimental; even if it were true, it was likely the parents’ idea and not his.

"I didn't mention anyone specifically, but I was just expressing my feelings. You're overthinking it." Chen Xueru said insincerely.

Insistence!

Indeed, he had insisted that she marry him, yet the tone of Chen Xueru's words made Tang Shuwen uncomfortable; did she feel wronged by marrying him What reason did she have to be wronged

"You're clearly talking about me," Tang Shuwen said in a deep voice.

Chen Xueru turned her head, perplexed at his anger and couldn't help but ask back, "Am I not speaking the truth"

Tang Shuwen sneered coldly, suppressing the discomfort that arose within him. This senseless discomfort made him lose his usual grace.

His dealings with people were always mild and courteous. He wasn't as cold and stern as Ye Ershao or as distant as Lin Diyun; he was also not as friendly as Su Ran. He was always polite, yet towards Chen Xueru alone, he had a particularly bad temper.

"No!"

"Lying!" Tang Shuwen snorted coldly and glared at her. "You clearly feel wronged."

"Why do you blame me Don't you also feel wronged" Chen Xueru's good temper was stirred by him as well.
