Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 468 - 338. I have always been waiting, but can no longer wait, right? (2 updates 2)_2
Tang Yanqing was slightly nervous, afraid that she might succumb to the situation and truly walk back to Huangfu Huazhang to cover for him. So he held her hand more tightly and whispered softly in her ear: "Enough. From now on, it’s between me and him, two men. You’ve done enough for this case. I won’t allow you to put yourself at risk any further. The final showdown with the criminals shouldn’t be with a journalist, it should be with us, the police. Everyone has seen your contributions, and your father-in-law in heaven surely has too."
He took a deep breath and laughed softly near her ear: "As for our Tang Family... we are a family of law, born to fight against evil. Every Tang family member who walks this path has never worried about being hurt because of it."
He seemed completely unconcerned about Huangfu Huazhang standing right beside him, or about the media surrounding them. He affectionately nudged her cheek with his nose: "...I don’t want you to stand alone against everything in front of our whole family. Silly girl, if you want to stand against it, you should at least first become the daughter-in-law of the Tang Family."
Shi Nian had not expected him to say such words at this moment and was caught off guard, her face turning red suddenly.
He laughed triumphantly, pulling her tighter into his arms: "This time, it’s our Tang Family’s turn to protect you. Even if your father-in-law is gone, you still have our Tang Family. Don’t forget, from now on, the Tang Family is your family. You don’t need to fight alone anymore."
His words were like a warm spring, flowing gently. Shi Nian looked up into his eyes, and her vision blurred again.
A home, he said he gave her another home, she was no longer alone.
.
They stood in public, amidst such tense circumstances, yet were able to express genuine emotions so naturally... Huangfu Huazhang heard a crackling sound of shattered pieces from deep in his heart.
When she was beside him, even when they were alone without anyone around, she never showed such natural and tender demeanor in front of him. Her body movements were always stiff when she was by his side. How could he not understand that she was always subconsciously guarded and resistant?
She wasn’t a good actress, especially unable to pretend genuine emotions or manipulate them at will, so she never truly fooled him; and the reason he kept believing, in the end, was just self-deception.
He was confident that with his deep feelings, he would ultimately move her, eventually win her, so much so that his self-deception made even himself believe it.
But now, watching this pair naturally express themselves before him, he suddenly felt that everything about himself seemed so stiff, exaggerated, and fake.
Moreover, surrounded by so many media, all the reporters are sharp-eyed, adept and observant. How could they not understand the situation, how could they not see through his forced self-confidence?!
Huangfu Huazhang seemed to withdraw to a third perspective, watching his own shell of confidence, nobility, and elegance, suddenly shattered by the radiant charm of the two of them, like an ancient porcelain glaze cracking, falling off in pieces.
The ostentatiousness faded away, the glaze peeled off, revealing nothing but a clay figure underneath, in a sorry state.
Unable to bear it, he couldn’t face it, he heard his own hoarse low roar: "Tang, Yan, Qing!"
He wanted Tang Yanqing to release his little girl, he wanted Tang Yanqing to stop disrupting his beautiful dream.
He wanted Tang Yanqing to stop disregarding his existence, he wanted Tang Yanqing... to disappear from this world now, never to appear again!
Tang Yanqing protected Shi Nian in his arms, looked up and said: "Cousin, it’s time to stop. She never really owed you anything, what she has done for you is already enough. As for everything you’ve done for her, whether or not you consider her your sunlight... in truth, it was all just your wishful thinking, it actually has nothing to do with her."
"But she has always been trying hard, hoping to bring you back. Whether you’re willing to come back or not is your own matter. We have done our best, if you’re willing to return, it would be you seeking a path of redemption for yourself; but if you insist on going further, I, Tang Yanqing as a police officer, will never fear; and this state’s prison wouldn’t mind accommodating another convict!"
The media was excited, could Tang Yanqing’s insinuation be announcing that Huangfu Huazhang is the criminal of a certain case?
