When n.o.body replied, Tang Jun sighed. He looked at Gao Yifeng and gave him a knowing look. The atmosphere in the car was tensed. They knew that if they make any more noise then at any moment a big fight would break out in the car. This was just like the calm before a violent storm.Tang Jun and Gao Yifeng felt suffocated in the car and hence they both decided not to say anything and not to interfere in the couple"s tiff. Soon the car reached Yifeng"s apartment and Yifeng got out the car.
"Goodnight elder sister, brother-in-law, " Gao Yifeng said as he got out of the car. "Thanks for dropping me Brother Tang," he said.
"Wait Yifeng, today I"ll stay with you..." Li Xiaolu said.
Gao Yifeng: "....."
Tang Jun: "..."
Li Xiaolu opened the door of her side and just as she was about to step out of the car, she was pulled back.
"Where are you going?" Zhang Zhehan asked in a low voice as he pulled her hand to stop her from getting out.
Li Xiaolu turned to look at him and she asked, "Why do you care?"
"Xiaolu, I...."
"Zhehan, I am already very tired. I don"t want to talk to you right now. Leave my hand." she interrupted before Zhang Zhehan could complete his sentence.
Zhang Zhehan didn"t argue. He simply threw her a glance and then he looked at Yifeng. "Good night Yifeng, if there is any problem then you make sure to call me," he said.
Gao Yifeng nodded as he watched his sister trying to free her hand from his brother-in-law"s grip. Zhang Zhehan then looked at the Tang Jun and ordered, "What are you waiting for? World war 3?"
"Start the d.a.m.n car!" Zhang Zhehan demanded.
Tang Jun: "....."
"Zhehan.... leave my hand!" Li Xiaolu screamed as she tried to free herself. Seeing that the car started, Zhang Zhehan left her hand and he closed his eyes.
Li Xiaolu glared at her husband who was keeping his eyes close. Li Xiaolu huffed as she crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned her head away. She looked out of the window and decided to ignore Zhang Zhehan.
Tang Jun looked at both of them and he sighed. A few minutes later, the car reached Zhehan and Li Xiaolu"s apartment. "Thanks, Tang Jun..." Li Xiaolu said as she quickly got out of the car without looking at Zhang Zhehan.
Tang Jun looked at Zhang Zhehan and he sighed, "She is quite angry."
"I know...." Zhang Zhehan mumbled clearly showing that had was not in a good mood either.
"What are we going to do now?" Tang Jun asked.
"I don"t know. Long Xun is very angry and he won"t listen to anything that I say. Inform all the families and let them know that Long Xun is back. Increase the security around everyone and give a strict warning to the Lin family." Zhang Zhehan instructed as he got out of the car.
"Okay, " Tang Jun nodded seriously.

After Tang Jun left, Zhang Zhehan started walking toward his apartment while thinking about how to appease his angry wife. When he entered his house and he saw his wife sitting on the couch reading some magazine.
"Xiaolu I am sorry..." Zhang Zhehan apologized sincerely as he kept his head on Li Xiaolu"s right shoulder. Li Xiaolu didn"t give him a reply and she simply flipped the pages of the magazine.
"I am sorry. Please forgive me..." he apologized again.
Li Xiaolu ignored Zhang Zhehan. She had decided to give him the silent treatment for a while.
Zhang Zhehan looked up and he saw that Li Xiaolu"s was ignoring him. He looked at her for a few seconds and he said, "The magazine is upside down..."
Li Xiaolu paused as she looked at the magazine carefully. Seeing that she was holding the magazine correctly, she glared at Zhang Zhehan.
Zhang Zhehan smiled innocently as he grabbed the magazine from her hand and then he kept it aside. Taking Li Xiaolu"s hand in his, he apologized sincerely. "I am sorry. Please forgive me. I am sorry that I failed to protect you. I am sorry that I never said anything about Long Xun to you. I didn"t mean to hide it from you." he said.
"I know that I promised that I will be your s.h.i.+eld. I told you that I will protect you from everything. But I failed to protect you today. I failed in my duties as your husband. Today, Long Xun kidnapped you right in front of my eyes, and yet I couldn"t protect you. I am ashamed of myself." Zhang Zhehan continued.
"Xiaolu, do you regret marrying me?" he asked in a low voice.
Hearing Zhang Zhehan"s words, Li Xiaolu was irked. "Do you know that Long Xun had said the same thing to me. He also said that you failed in your duties as my husband." Li Xiaolu said.
"He told me that he loved me. He said that he could protect me better if I stayed with him. And he said that no matter how powerful you are, you will always lose against Long Xun and you are incapable of protecting me." she informed.
Zhang Zhehan hung his head low because he was blaming himself for not protecting Li Xiaolu. He felt ashamed of himself for not fulfilling his duties and his promises.
Seeing his self-blame and his dejected face, Li Xiaolu was furious. "Do you know what my reply was to his words?"
Zhang Zhehan shook his head.
"I said my husband is not a G.o.d. He doesn"t know what will happen to me in the future then how can he protect me from things that he himself is unaware of?" Li Xiaolu said.
"Then... then do you forgive me for this?" Zhehan asked.
