Chapter 397


    Hearing that put a smile on my face, and I quickly took his hand before he changed his mind. We


    instantly became the center of attention the moment we set foot on the red carpet.


    Of course, Christopher was the one they were all interested in as they held up their cameras and


    bombarded him with questions. “Mr. Lane, what is your rtionship with this woman next to you?”


    “Are you investing and participating in the art exhibition, Mr. Lane? Why isn’t Ms. Martin attending this


    event with you? You said you were already married when she proposed to you on stage during the


    piano recital. Is that true?”


    “There have been tons of stories on the inte about your rtionship with Ms. Martin! They say you


    rejected her proposal by iming to be married because you wanted to propose to her instead! Would


    you mindmenting on that, Mr. Lane?”


    Being surrounded by journalists wasn’t exactly a pleasant experience, and it didn’t help that they were


    all asking about Monica instead of me. Don’t just ignore my existence, da*n it!


    “I’m here to attend the art exhibition press conference with this beautifuldy right here, so could you


    please keep your questions rted to the art exhibition? I believe I have stated multiple times in public


    that Monica is just a sister to me. There is nothing else going on between us, so please stop bringing it


    up.”


    Christopher held me carefully in his arms the whole time, keeping me out of reach from the journalists


    as we continued walking. As the journalists didn’t dare get in his way, they could only follow him from


    behind.


    Eventually, a journalist decided to ask about me, “Mr. Lane, is thisdy next to you a participant in the


    art exhibition as well? Which one of the paintings is her work of art? And how is she rted to you?”


    Christopher pulled me into his arms and gave me a kiss on the forehead before saying with a devilish


    grin, “She’s my wife, of course. Only my wife is worthy of being held in my embrace. As I said, I’m


    already married. Please be mindful of that when you ask me any further questions because I will hit


    anyone who brings up Monica being my fiancée again. Trust me, you don’t want to make me mad.”


    The journalists werepletely shocked by Christopher’s words. After all, he was attending a public


    event with his wife just two days after announcing his marital status.


    Everyone was snapping away at us, and I found myself barely able to open my eyes from all the


    camera shes. Fortunately, we had already arrived at the end of the red carpet, and Christopher


    quickly led me into the building.


    Having finally escaped the journalists, I breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off my forehead.


    “Man, these journalists are really scary! Now I see why celebrities always have a group of staff


    escorting them wherever they go… It’s horrible being the center of attention. I felt like I was going to be


    smothered to death!”


    Christopher snorted defiantly. “Don’t worry, anyone who dares to bully you will have hell to pay!”


    While ncing about, my gaze fell upon a handsome young man in the crowd. He had on a white suit


    which gave off a gentle vibe, and his charming smile was something out of this world.


    “Hey, Christopher! That’s Spencer Lynch!” I gave him a gentle nudge while trembling all over in


    excitement.


    “Spencer who?” Christopher got jealous when he noticed me staring at another man and spun my head


    back toward him. “No ogling other men. You are to keep your eyes on me, got it?”

    “You don’t understand! Spencer Lynch is the greatest and most handsome artist in the world! Unlike


    Crystal, this man is the real deal and has represented the youth of our country in the Eastsummer art


    exhibition! He’s my idol, okay?”
