The next day.
It was the last day of recording for "Dreaming Twenty-first Century". Yu Ting, who had eaten and drank well last night, wore a black strapless dress today that draped to her knee. She coupled it with a thin light gray cardigan. Due to her pregnancy, she no longer wore makeup. Her face was clean and natural, the whole person looking refined and pure.
Standing next to her was Lu Nanchen, who was wearing a simple white t-shirt and dark straight-leg pants. The attire gave him a youthful look compared to when he was dressed in formal suits.
They stood together, hand in hand, looking very much like a loving couple.
After Lu Nanchen looked carefully at Yu Ting to make sure she hadn’t forgotten any accessory, they both got into a car headed towards VG Entertainment.
After the big incident last night, it was clear that there were noticeably more journalists at the base of VG Entertainment’s office building today. Lu Nanchen got out of the car first. Seeing the scene outside, he frowned in concern before helping Yu Ting out of the car.
Upon seeing Yu Ting, the waiting journalists swarmed up to her, eager to pass their microphones to her.
Lu Nanchen stood closely by Yu Ting’s side, his hand slipped around her back to protect her.
"President Yu, did you plan all the events that unfolded last night in advance?"
"President Yu, could you share your personal opinion on Meng Jin’s actions?"
"Your company seems to be growing better by the day. Do you have any secrets to share?"
Last night’s incident hadn’t cast any negative light on Yu Ting. The dozen journalists surrounding her looked kind and eager to learn more.
Yu Ting also picked a few questions and answered them.
Seeing this harmonious scene, the alarm bells in Lu Nanchen’s heart quieted down a little. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
What he didn’t know was that a man, hunched over and head lowered, had inserted himself into the crowd of reporters, one hand on his thigh and the other inside his coat.
Suddenly, at an opportune moment, the man pulled out a fruit knife from his coat, thrusting it directly towards Yu Ting’s attention-engaged abdomen.
Just as Yu Ting was about to dodge, Lu Nanchen reacted faster. He saw the man draw the knife, rapidly reached around her from behind, pulling her in front of him as he kicked violently at the man.
The force of the kick sent the man flying more than a meter away, causing him to loosen his grip on the knife, which fell to the ground with a clear ringing sound.
Lu Nanchen’s other arm held Yu Ting tightly, a hand covering the back of her head.
"He tried to stab President Yu with a knife!"
"Quick, catch him."
The surrounding journalists instantly became agitated. The security guards at the company’s entrance rushed over to chase the man.
The man, whose plans were exposed, immediately fled.
Standing in place, Lu Nanchen looked calm but his heart pounded rapidly inside his chest. The shock of what just happened was greater for him than for Yu Ting. His palms, hanging by his side, were sweaty.
It was a close call.
After planting a light kiss on Yu Ting’s forehead, Lu handed her over to Song Zhan, who had come rushing upon hearing the commotion.
"What’s going on? Who was he?"
A late-to-realize Yu Ting had a sharp look in her eyes, obviously unhappy.
I just confirmed my pregnancy last night and someone tried to stab me in the stomach this morning?
They’re really on top of things.
"I don’t know, go handle your business first, I am going to find my cousin."
