Chapter 261: Chapter 258: Soaring to the Skies!

The officer looked on, visibly disturbed.

Just then, Sister Ling stepped forward and slowly said,

“Officer, let’s let her rest for now. As for the issue of her being slandered and insulted online, we can talk about that outside later and see if our police can–”

“Rest assured, ma’am, we will certainly clear Miss Wen’s name!”

Sister Ling’s heart shivered, her eyes heating up.

Faintly, she felt that after this storm, Wen Xian’s path ahead would only get longer and better…!

…

When Sang Nian was leaving again.

He walked toward his car as soon as he left the hostel.

When he reached the car door, he paused.

He saw no one in the driver’s seat, and unbeknownst to him, their boss had gotten out of the car and was leaning against it, standing there, smoking.

Through the car window, his figure stood there, emanating an indescribable sense of solitude and desolation.

Sang Nian hesitated for a moment but still walked around the front of the car to join their boss.

“Boss, why are you standing there? If you’re worried about Sister Xian, why don’t you go in and see her yourself?”

Didn’t he know how heartbroken Sister Xian was?

Lu Xiao’s body stiffened.

The fingers holding the cigarette froze.

He bowed his head, took the last puff of his cigarette, and muttered a few words, “It’s not appropriate.”

At those words, Sang Nian could no longer hold back and burst out, “What’s inappropriate! I went in to see Sister Xian, and you’re still her boyfriend, how can you not go in!

You don’t know how heartbroken Sister Xian is inside. She’s sick, lying in bed with a fever, crying continuously, crying continuously. She’s utterly wronged, but you won’t even go in to look at her!”

Sang Nian was really about to be infuriated to death by them.

Usually so decisive and fierce, how had he become so indecisive!

All these excuses about it not being appropriate were just excuses!

After he finished speaking, Lu Xiao’s blood seemed to freeze bit by bit.

She… had a fever?

She was crying so much inside…

Crying continuously…?

Seeing the boss’s face change, Sang Nian hurriedly said,

“She’s crying non-stop and not speaking. You’ve seen how much she’s been wronged and how many people have insulted her. Plus, she’s feverish, and her body and mind are frail. At a time like this, she needs you the most, wants to see you.

But if even now, you can’t be by her side, what’s the point of being her boyfriend–!”

By the end of his speech, Sang Nian had clenched his fists.

He was young, and he might not understand romance, but in his world, loving someone meant caring for her properly.

Reluctant to let her cry, reluctant to let her get hurt, just wanting her to smile forever.

Having said so much, Sang Nian didn’t say more and directly got into the car and drove off himself.

Lu Xiao stood there alone.

His back suddenly rigid, but his whole persona radiated an unspeakable cold yet defeated aura.

His fists clenched tight, then loosened, tightened then loosened… After several repetitions, he finally let go.

Why not go see her once.

He couldn’t.

He no longer had the right.

In her heart, perhaps he was no longer her boyfriend…

He had let her down, yet again.

But his promise had not changed, it never had.

That night at her home in Shanghai.

He had promised her in person.

He would only protect her.
