Liu Wei tried to call her attention but she immediately cut in,
''What happened? You can tell me, I can handle it.''
She said with a shaky voice. Why were they all looking at her in a concerned manner all of a sudden?
Almost at the same time, Liu Wei's phone began to ring. It was on the table so he picked it up and looked at the screen.

Liu Wei felt his throat tightening as he stared at the words written on the screen.
He knew his father must have seen the headline and would be infuriated, but he did not mind at all. Since no-one knew who she was yet, she was safe. All he needed to do is to protect her.
He stared at the phone for a while before putting it on silent then placed it back on the table.
''Let's eat now, the food would soon get cold.''
