Chapter 9 Media Reporters Fake A Story
"I..." She moves her lips as if she couldn't control her brain, "I just want to say sorry about last night..."
As she tries to explain something, someone just interrupts.
"Look, Jenny is over there!"
There comes a loud voice from far away. In an instant, a crowd of media reporters carrying cameras and holding microphones rush towards her from all directions. Jenny is so frightened that she immediately grabs the man beside her by the arm before she can keep her balance to look at the crowd running to her. Luke Lu knits his eyebrows.
The two of them soon get surrounded at the door of the cafe by the media reporters and some of them are onlookers.
"Jenny, did you really hug and kiss a man at the pharmacy?"
"You bought a pregnancy test kit as the cashier said. Are you pregnant?"
Cameras and spotlight keep flashing without a break. It dazzles her so that she is forced to cover her eyes with her hands. All those sharp words almost deafen her. "People say the Jade Picture is going to make you another Miss Pure after Monica Tang. But now you date someone publicly. Are you provoking the company?"
Those reporters throw out all embarrassing questions for her to answer, which upset her deeply. Her face looks abruptly pale under the flashing of spotlight with her legs going numb. "I..." How on earth can she explain?
She never expected the reporters would chase her to answer all the questions.
For 10 short seconds after the reporters rushed out, Luke Lu keeps supporting Jenny by holding the waist. Sensing something wrong about her, he holds her steadily, compressing his lips even harder. It's really not what a gentleman should do to leave her alone at this moment.
Looking around, he says in a cold tone, "Enough!"
Even though his almost perfect face is covered mostly by the sunglasses, his unique composed temperament can't be ignored.
This low sound distracts the reporters' attention.
All of a sudden, all cameras focus on Luke Lu.
"Are you Jenny's boyfriend? When did you start the relationship?"
"Please tell us, is Jenny really pregnant?"
"Have you watched Jenny's TV shows? What do you think of her in bed?"
All these sharp and impolite questions vex Luke Lu. His face turns sullen especially when he senses the girl trembling in his arms. "Even as an entertainment reporter, you should have a bottom line! Please excuse me for not answering these boring questions!" Right after he finishes his words, a black Range Rover pulls over across the street.
Mrs. Lu came down from the car with the help of the housekeeper, and looked refreshedly at the opposite gold plaque-Diffuse Café. She nods happily. Here it is!
"Wow, why so many people here?" As she walks towards the cafe, she frowns and takes down her reading glasses, trying to figure it out. She finds some people surrounded by the reporters who keep asking questions and taking pictures.
In the middle of the crowd...
Mrs. Lu widens her eyes in surprise.
The tallest reporter is only 5.5 inches tall. That's shorter than her 6-inch Luke Lu.
She captures her baby grandson among those reporters.
She stands on tiptoe and notices a short figure in pink in Luke Lu's arms.
What a surprise!
The little girl is probably her granddaughter-in-law!
Or else, would Luke Lu protect her in such a way?
It's deep in her mind that her grandson is obsessively tidy and never touches a woman randomly!
Mrs. Lu pushes the butler with her elbow and asks with curiosity, "Do they even report about people in love these days?"
Mr. Wei gives it a thought before saying insightfully, "I guess that's because Mr. Lu is so famous that whoever becomes his girlfriend will become the focus." Mrs. Lu agrees but seemingly confused.
"Well, never mind. Let's go check it out." she says and walks to Luke Lu hurriedly.
