She watched the TV show that was playing, even though it was one she loved, she felt bored.
She casually changed the channel, then suddenly her gaze was fixed on the TV screen and she stopped pressing the remote.
On the TV screen was a familiar face.
It was Brian!
And this program is an interview talk show.
Brian is actually participating in a talk show! And this show is in a live format!
Valda was focused on the program.
I saw my boyfriend on TV and had a strange feeling, like he was both far away and close at the same time.
After the host finished asking Brian about work-related matters, the topic changed. “By the way, there have been some photos and videos circulating online today. The people in these photos and videos look a lot like Mr. Hart. Many netizens have divided into two camps, one camp thinks that the person is you, Mr.
Hart, while the other camp thinks it’s not. We are also curious, so we want to ask Mr. Hart to confirm whether the person in these photos is really you.”
As the host spoke these words, one of the photos from online was also displayed on the screen behind
Brian and the host.
The photo shows Brian and Valda sitting on the waiting chairs outside a crayfish restaurant, waiting for their turn to be called.
Valda felt both relieved and sweaty.
Fortunately, the host didn’t show any photos or videos related to fighting or the police station. Instead, they only showed pictures of waiting outside the store.
And the reason she was sweating profusely was that although her face was blurred by the production team, her body was not!
If she had known she was going to be on TV, she should have dressed better that day!
Wait, what is she thinking? Valda quickly pushes aside her own wandering thoughts and nervously watches the TV screen, wondering what Brian will say.
As a result, he simply and straightforwardly said two words, “It’s me.”
The host seemed surprised by Brian’s quick admission and was momentarily stunned. After a while, the host regained composure and asked, “So, Mr. Hart, are you admitting that you are the person in the photo?”
“What’s there to deny?” Brian seemed to find the question ridiculous.
“So, the woman who was sitting next to you at that time was…” The host hesitated to speak, and Valda could feel the burning curiosity in his eyes, even through the screen.
“She’s my girlfriend,” Brian said with a slight smile.
The host’s expression showed genuine surprise, rather than a fake one.
“Is she your girlfriend?”
“Right,” said Brian. “I don’t want my relationship with her to disrupt my girlfriend’s normal life, so I also hope that everyone won’t bother her.”
He said this not only to the production team, but also to other media outlets and many journalists in this industry.
The prince of the entertainment industry has spoken. Anyone who lives in this industry would be afraid to make the same mistake again, as no one wants to retire early.
“So… how did you and your girlfriend meet?” The host forced smile and finally resumed the behavior expected of a host.
“It was a rainy day and I forgot my umbrella. My girlfriend kindly offered me hers to shield me from the rain,” said Brian.
The host said, “How romantic! I bet many women watching right now are dreaming of being the one to hand Mr. Hart his umbrella.”
“I value my girlfriend very much and don’t want her to worry too much. So today, by accepting this interview, I also want to tell everyone that I hope this matter will end here.” Brian’s dark eyes looked at the camera. “As for how many people want to offer me an umbrella, I will only accept hers. For me, she is the one I want to spend my life with.”
When these words were spoken, not only the host, but also the people on the scene and many others watching outside the screen were all stunned.
This statement is like a marriage proposal!
Oh my goodness, really? A woman dressed in the most ordinary clothes has become the woman that the prince wants to spend his life with.
This makes it unbearable for those female celebrities in the entertainment industry who are desperately trying to climb up the social ladder by getting close to the prince.
In front of the screen, Valda’s eyes became moist.
He still remembers, remembers tMason Swansonrcumstances of their first meeting.
And the things he said… So, the reason he agreed to this interview today was also for her, right?
He was afraid that she would get hurt, so he used this method to protect her.
This man didn’t say anything to her, but silently did everything!
He said he would shield her from all the storms.
And he really did!
The interview program had ended, but Valda seemed to still be immersed in it, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
It wasn’t until the sound of the door being pushed open that Brian walked into the room, and she suddenly woke up and stood up as if startled.
“Why, you’re not asleep yet? Were you waiting for me?” Brian asked.
Valda stared at him blankly, then suddenly ran over and hugged him tightly, burying her face deeply in his arms.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, lowering his head.
“I…I just watched your interview program,” she said, her voice choking up.
He immediately understood, “I’m sorry, I should have told you before that I accepted this interview program, but…I also had a bit of selfishness. I wanted to use this program to tell the public about us dating. Will you be mad at me?”
“No,” she said, “Didn’t you also ask me if I minded telling others that I’m your girlfriend? I said I didn’t mind, didn’t I? I just…just…”
Her voice was hesitant, and the sound of her choking was even more apparent.
“Just what?” he asked.
“I just feel like you’ve done so much for me, and I… don’t know how to repay you.” It seemed like he was always protecting her, always sacrificing for her.
“You already are repaying me,” Brian said softly, holding Valda’s face and looking at her red eyes. He felt a pang of heartache. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be who I am now.”
Perhaps he would still be stuck in the despair of his feelings for
Grace.
But Valda had given him happiness and helped him let go of his past burdens.
“But you’ve done so much, and I…”
“You’ve done even more than I have,” Brian said, lowering his head and kissing her red eyes. “Valda, I want to see you happy. I want you to be happy when you’re with me.”
Valda’s lips curved into a smile. “I’m happy, Brian. I’m very happy!”
She leaned up and kissed his lips.
With him around, she will always be happy!
Next, all online photos of her were hidden, and if you search for information about Brian’s girlfriend, you will not find any personal information about her. Even information about “Valda” online, if it is related to
Brian, will not be available.
Valda knows that Brian is trying to protect her by not exposing his girlfriend’s situation, as he doesn’t want it to affect Valda’s daily life.
Life remained the same, but Valda knew that her feelings for Brian were growing deeper.
“Valda, do you want to attend a comic exchange event held in Asia?” Camille arrived at Valda’s studio in the morning, holding a stack of brochures.
“Exchange meeting?” Valda paused for a moment.
“Yes, a networking event. There’s a spot available through the company, and I’d like to recommend you for it,” said Camille. “Your recent comics have been gaining popularity, and your comic-to-drama adaptation has already finished filming. In a few days, it will be broadcasted, and your career will likely take another step forward. Many professional comic artists from Asia will be attending this networking event, and I think it could be helpful for you.”
Valda became interested when she heard about it, especially after learning from Camille that some of her favorite comic artists might also be there. She immediately expressed her desire to go.
“The exchange meeting will last for about a week, and there will be dedicated personnel responsible for accommodation and meals. The event will be held in our country, but not in Emerald City, rather in
Deer Capital,” Camille explained the details of the exchange meeting. “However, some comic artists from other countries may communicate in English. Your English seems average, so maybe you can review it a bit during this time?”
Valda was startled when she heard this. Her English used to be average, but it had been many years since she graduated and now…she probably couldn’t even be considered at an average level.
Immediately, she began to worry.
“Don’t worry, there will be dedicated translators over there, but you should still review some everyday conversations,” Camille reminded. After all, translators aren’t with you 24/7, so it’s best to know some everyday conversations in case you encounter some manga artists without a translator around.
“Okay, I’ll review it.” Valda replied.
“A month from now, there will be a conference held in Deer Capital. You can take a look at these brochures about the conference later,” said Camille.
“Okay,” Valda replied.
After Camille left, she flipped through the brochure about the conference and let out a sigh. It seems like she’ll have to study her English well for the next month!
When Brian came to pick up Valda from work, he saw her holding her phone and looking at it. The screen of her phone displayed some everyday English conversations.
“What are you looking at?” Brian asked.
So Valda told Brian about the communication meeting and said with a sad face, “Oh, it’s true that if you don’t work hard when you’re young, you’ll regret it when you’re old! It’s been so long since I graduated, and I’ve forgotten a lot of English. Many words, they know me, but I don’t know them!”
“In one month’s time, you should be able to reach a level where you can have basic daily conversations without much difficulty, considering that you already have some foundation.”
“It’s easy to say, but difficult to do,” said Valda. “My previous English was mostly focused on written exams, so I rarely practiced speaking.”
This is also a drawback of learning English in China. Many times, people only study for the purpose of passing exams, and they rarely use English in their daily lives. As a result, they lack the language environment to practice and improve their skills.
“So for this month, I can practice speaking with you so that you can adapt more quickly,” Brian said.
“Then, for everyday greetings and conversations, I can speak to you in English.”
Valda’s eyes lit up, “Oh, you also know English! How good is your English?”
He then opened his mouth and a string of English words came out directly.
Her eyes brightened, even though she only understood half of what he said. This also indicated that his
