Chandler protected Tina and got in the car. As soon as they sat in the car, Tina looked at Chandler with concern. “Don’t take those journalists’ words to heart, especially that last one. He’s simply despicable!”
Chandler raised an eyebrow. “Are you afraid I will be hurt by those words?”
Mm,” she responded. Those words were just too harsh.
“I won’t be hurt,” Chandler said calmly.
Those verbal attacks meant nothing to him. If it weren’t for that ignorant journalist involving Tina, he wouldn’t have wasted a single word on him.
“Yeah,” she replied. Those words were simply too offensive.
“I won’t be hurt,” Chandler shrugged.
Such verbal attacks didn’t affect him at all. If it weren’t for that journalist who didn’t know his place, dragging Tina into it, he wouldn’t have bothered saying anything to him.
“Didn’t you feel hurt at all?” Tina carefully observed Chandler, as if afraid that the journalist’s words just now would upset him.
“When you look at me like that, it makes me feel fragile, like I can’t handle any kind of blow.” He chuckled.
Tina awkwardly touched her nose, “I’m just afraid that you’ll take those nonsense words to heart.”
“No, there are very few things in this world that can stay in my heart.” Chandler gazed at the person in front of him firmly.
Suddenly, Tina felt her face getting warm. The way he looked at her and said those words, it was as if he was silently saying that only she, he would keep in his heart.
Because it was getting late, the two of them had a simple dinner outside before returning to Chandler’s place.
“Alright, now you can tell me why you came to the company to find me today.” Chandler spoke up.
Tina almost forgot about it herself, she didn’t expect Chandler to remember.
“It’s because of Kit’s situation, I was feeling a bit down, so I wanted to talk to you.” Tina said.
“What happened to him again?” Chandler’s eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity.
It seemed that unnoticed, the number of times she mentioned Kit was increasing.
He could only keep telling himself to try to understand the kind of feelings fans have for their idols, but he had never liked any idol before, so truly experiencing this kind of feeling wasn’t easy for him.
So Tina told Chandler about the resources she obtained from her parents and the conversation she had with Kit on campus.
“I didn’t expect him to think like that, or maybe he thinks it’s normal to exchange his body for resources? Or… maybe I misunderstood him.” Tina said dejectedly.
“Don’t you really like him? So when he made that proposal, what did you think?” Chandler hinted.
Tina blinked her eyes, “The proposal itself is ridiculous, I just find it unbelievable. At least in my opinion, he shouldn’t be that kind of person!”
“But if you like someone, don’t you also want to have their body?” he asked.
Tina was taken aback, but she didn’t get angry because of Chandler’s words. Instead, she seriously said, “The way I like him is that I want him to shine even more on his own stage, to be more dazzling, and to have more people like him. But this kind of liking is different from my liking for you.”
As Tina spoke, she raised her hand and gently touched Chandler’s cheek, “My liking for you is possessive. I don’t want many people to like you, I don’t want you to attract too much attention. I want to be with you all the time, I want you to belong only to me, no one can take you away, and no one else can have you!”
Those were two completely different kinds of liking, but she didn’t know if he would truly understand what she meant by saying this.
Chandler’s cheek rubbed against the palm of Tina’s hand, his beautiful and deep eyes gazing at her, “If that’s what you want, then I will belong only to you, no one can take me away. So, you also have to do as you said, not give yourself to anyone else.”
“Mm.” Tina responded and took the initiative to kiss Chandler.
But after a moment, she went from being the one taking the initiative to being passive.
Chandler held the back of Tina’s head with one hand and kissed her forcefully, with such desire and urgency, as if proving his words from earlier.
Chandler finally released his lips after kissing Tina until she was almost out of breath.
Tina’s face was flushed as she gasped for air, looking at the handsome face in front of her.
“Do you want me?” he whispered, his husky voice exuding a special charm.
She nodded, her rosy lips forming the word “yes”.
In the next moment, he lifted her horizontally and walked into the bedroom.
Carefully placing her on the bed, he slowly removed his clothes, fully exposing himself to her.
As long as she desired him, he would willingly give himself to her.
He was afraid that he wasn’t good enough, not beautiful enough, unable to attract more of her attention.
He feared that her feelings for him were merely the confusion of adolescence, unable to last, and that someone else would make her love them more in the future.
Does loving someone always involve such anxiety and insecurity?
Today, at the scene of the fire and in the hospital, he also experienced an indescribable emotion when he saw those injured and suffering.
In the past, he wouldn’t have cared about anything; even if someone died in front of him, he wouldn’t have felt a shred of pity.
But now, things were different.
Was it because she stayed by his side today, or was it because… for some other reason?
In the midst of their intimacy, he seemed to want to give everything to her, causing her to constantly sink deeper…

In the following days, there was a heated discussion online about the fire incident.
Chandler gained praise from many people for his handling of the fire aftermath, but of course, there were also many people who questioned whether Chandler was just putting on a show.
Some people even criticized online, saying that the fire happened because the Hunter Group’s factory didn’t have adequate fire safety measures.
However, these criticisms disappeared with the release of reports from the fire department and the police.
The fire department determined that the fire was not accidental, but deliberate!
As a result, the police also began investigating who intentionally caused the fire.
After dealing with the factory’s matters, Chandler also planned to visit the Hunter family and inform the elders of the incident.
“I want to go with you,” Tina said. “After all, I went with you last time, and now I also know the secret that you’re guarding for the Hunter family. If I go with you, your grandfather shouldn’t kick me out again, right?”
“There’s no need to visit the Hunter family. You’ve been there once, so you should know what kind of place it is,” he said.
She said, “I feel like even after we get married, I should go there often. So why not familiarize myself with it now?” The key reason is that she always feels that the Hunter family gives off a cold feeling.
It’s as if that mansion hides countless secrets.
Although she now knows some of those secrets, she still wants to understand him more, to truly enter the Hunter family and face his family!
“Technically, you shouldn’t enter the extended family before we get married,” Chandler pondered.
“But you’ve already been there once, so a second time wouldn’t hurt,” she insisted.
Seeing Chandler’s expression soften, Tina continued, “Chandler, I want to understand you more, see more of your extended family where you grew up, and also your grandfather. Last time, I didn’t have a chance to properly greet him. Oh, by the way, are your parents also at the estate this time? It’s been so long since I’ve seen them.”
Tina tugged at Chandler’s sleeve and acted cute.
Usually, whenever she acted cute, he would almost always agree to whatever she wanted.
Of course, Tina’s ability to act cute has been evaluated by her good friend Eugenia.
“Tina, not to be mean, but with that kind of dignified face, making a cute expression… uh, it really gives me goosebumps. Only Chandler can fall for your act!”
Of course, in response to her friend’s teasing, Tina simply acted even cuter, giving her friend an even stronger case of goosebumps!
“Alright then, I’ll let my family know and we’ll visit our old estate this weekend,” Chandler said.
“That’s great!” Tina exclaimed.
When the weekend came, Chandler went to see Tina and saw her carrying many bags and belongings.
He couldn’t help but frown and ask, “What are you doing with all that?”
“It’s a gift for our visit. I can’t just show up empty-handed,” she explained. After all, this time they were going to the Hunter family estate openly, not sneaking in like before, so proper etiquette was necessary.
However, when it came to their daughter going to the Hunter family estate, Lina and Hadwin kept reminding her to be polite to her elders, to not be careless, and to follow the rules.
On the other hand, they warned their future son-in-law to take good care of Tina, not to let her be mistreated in any way. Furthermore, going to the estate did not mean they would immediately get married. When they would get married still depended on their daughter’s wishes!
Hadwin insisted on this because he wanted to give his daughter more time. He wanted her to make this decision that would impact her entire life when she was more mature and not have any regrets in the future.
But based on his understanding of his daughter, if the Hunter family were to propose getting married immediately, he was afraid his naive daughter would agree right away.
“In any case, you are not allowed to get married until Tina graduates from college, and you are not allowed to do anything inappropriate to Tina. If Tina accidentally gets pregnant, don’t blame me for getting angry,” Hadwin said in a low voice, with a volume only the two of them could hear.
Chandler uncomfortably pursed his lips, not daring to tell his future father-in-law that he had done something inappropriate just a few days ago…
But getting pregnant… he certainly wouldn’t let Tina get pregnant now. After all, Tina is still young. Even if she gave birth to their child, which could save him, he would rather endure the pain and wait a few more years to have a child – if Tina still loved him and was willing to have a child together.
After the two got in the car, Lina and Hadwin exchanged a glance.
“You say Tina won’t cause any trouble this time, right?” Lina couldn’t help but say.
“She’s only staying for a day, and even if there’s any trouble, Chandler should be there to protect her,”
Hadwin said.
Hopefully! Lina thought to herself.
After the car arrived at the Hunter family mansion, Tina finally met her future in-laws and the elder Mr.
Hunter, carrying bags and packages.
“Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, hello!” Tina had a smile on her face as she greeted the Hunter family elders in a familiar manner, and then proceeded to display the gifts she had brought!
The gifts Tina brought were all exquisite items, such as fine bone china tea sets, rare embroidered fabrics, as well as delicate trinkets and rare supplements.
“Thoughtful.” Colin Hunter said with a cheerful smile, looking much more amiable compared to the stern face of the elder Mr. Hunter.
Tina had only met Colin and Adele Hunter twice before, counting this time, it was only the third time.
