The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife-Chapter 416 - : I Feel Heartbroken for Her_1
Chapter 416: Chapter 416: I Feel Heartbroken for Her_1
At the very beginning, the abuse from people towards her wasn’t so severe, yet Dongfang Yu was already incensed.
Now, it has escalated to such an extreme that almost the entire population of C City is rebuking her.
She was worried that Dongfang Yu would become even more furious.
Hai Xiaotang also knew that their enemies were secretly manipulating everything, but they didn’t know who the enemy was, nor could they fight back against them, they could only tread carefully and cautiously.
Yet, she didn’t anticipate that their opponent, being quite clever, chose not to continue their attack on Dongfang Yu.
Instead, they chose to attack her…
And she was, unfortunately, Dongfang Yu’s greatest weakness!
Regardless, Hai Xiaotang was feeling very unsettled, very worried that something bad would happen to Dongfang Yu sooner or later.
Hai Xiaotang planned to persuade him thoroughly today and sent a text message to Dongfang Yu, asking when he would return.
Dongfang Yu immediately called her back, straight off the bat asking nervously: “What happened? Is something wrong?”
Hai Xiaotang was startled for a moment before she laughed and said, “No, nothing’s wrong. I was just asking when you would be back.”
Her voice sounded completely normal, completely unaffected by external influences.
Dongfang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and reversed the question with a smile: “Missing me and want me to come home soon?”
“I just wanted to have dinner with you.”
“I’ll be back soon. If you’re hungry, eat first.”
“I’m not hungry, I’ll wait for you to come back.”
“Alright!” Dongfang Yu nodded before hanging up the call.
The smile on his face also disappeared once the call got disconnected.
Dongfang Yu really wished to protect Hai Xiaotang, but with the current circumstances, everything was beyond his control.
Dongfang Yu sincerely felt sorry for her and worried about her.
But Xiaotang still appeared as if nothing was bothering her, and the more carefree she tried to be, the more worried he became.
If it were possible, he wished all the antagonism were directed towards him, he was ready to bear everything for her!
**************
Dongfang Yu returned home rather quickly.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, he saw Hai Xiaotang looking at a tablet, browsing through webpages.
His heartbeat quickened as he strode towards her, asking directly: “What are you looking at?”
He was worried that she might have seen the news and public opinions on the internet.
As it turned out, Hai Xiaotang was indeed looking at that!
Dongfang Yu frowned and asked, “Why are you looking at this?”
While speaking, he reached out to snatch the tablet away, but Hai Xiaotang avoided his grasp and instead looked up at him with a smile, saying, “What they’re saying about me is so funny. Why would they say that about me? It’s hilarious.”
Dongfang Yu frowned in confusion, “Funny?”
“Yeah. They’re saying I’m just seducing you with my looks, but clearly you’re more good looking than I am, they’re really giving me too much credit. They also said that I, being born in a privileged background, must be spoiled rotten, with all the airs of a princess, and yet you still indulge me. So, they’re jealous of my good birth and good marriage, aren’t they? They also mentioned that I married you just for your money when in reality I fell in love with your good looks.”
The more Hai Xiaotang talked, the funnier she found it.
She had turned all the insulting comments about her into a laughing matter.
Dongfang Yu, however, couldn’t find it funny, he snatched the tablet away and warned her sternly, “You’re not allowed to look at these things in the future! Whatever they say, don’t bother about it!”
Hai Xiaotang nodded, “Okay, I’ll heed your advice, I won’t bother, and you shouldn’t either!”
How could Dongfang Yu not understand her intention?
Her nonchalant demeanor in the face of the slandering internet crowd was her way of telling him that she didn’t care about other people’s opinion.
So, he shouldn’t care either.
But, how could he manage to be completely indifferent?
