Nevertheless, the questions for the interview were already prepared beforehand.
“Lieutenant General Huo, congratulations on your promotion. Rumour has it that you are marrying Ms Wen, is that true?”
“Yes.”
“Considering what she did before… do you no longer mind it?”
“There is something that I wish to clarify here.”
Huo Chen looked straight at the camera and spoke earnestly, “Wen He and I love each other. As for her background…”
Before he could finish, Wen He pinched his thigh hard underneath the table. He paused in response but kept his expression flat.
“The truth is, she had been honest and open with me before this. She worked for the military with utmost commitment to make up for her past and she had been a great help to me during our mission in the Golden Triangle. Without her, who knows how many more casualties we would have suffered. After that, when her background was exposed, we could no longer live in peace. Her words for the press conference were intended to protect me and keep me out of trouble.”
Huo Chen had more to say, but Wen He stopped by him quickly getting up to her feet and bowing deeply to the camera.
She said, “I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the audience. I will also tell you that I love Huo Chen, right from the very beginning. I lied and that was solely my fault. Huo Chen knew nothing about it. I am very sorry for hiding the truth, please forgive me!”
“See?”
Huo Chen looked at her lovingly and sighed.
“She is always like this, protecting me however she could.”
“Cough cough…”
The lady host coughed embarra.s.singly.
“I hear that Ms Wen is now second lieutenant. Could you tell us a bit about what you did in the battlefield? What was it like over there?”
Wen He thought it would be boastful to speak of her actions back then. Besides, she lost Gu Jinzhi in the war and was in no hurry to relive the experience.
Nevertheless, she saw Huo Chen gazing kindly at her and felt encouraged. After some initial hesitation, she recounted the events of the war as briefly as she could.
Even so, the audience could appreciate how dangerous it was in the battlefield.
The host was in awe.
“Second lieutenant Wen is truly a warrior and a most exceptional woman.”
“…”
Wen He squirmed awkwardly.
The rest of the interview was focused on the duo’s feat during the war.
Wen He’s cheeks blushed deeply as she was bombarded with praise.
When the interview ended, all she wanted to do was go home.
However, Huo Chen unexpectedly stopped her from leaving her seat and said, “You can always control your actions, but you cannot control your feelings.”
“…”
Wen He coughed awkwardly.
What was with this onscreen PDA in front of everyone across the country? How could he stand the embarra.s.sment?!
In fact, Wen He was also preoccupied with worry. Her merits during the war was enough to stop people from openly condemning her, but it might not be enough to convince them that she was good enough for Huo Chen.
However, the next day, all her worries vanished when she read the comments circulating online.
“Ooh, my heart flutters when I saw how Officer Huo looked at her!”
“Wen He really protects her man.”
“Right. They really know each other very well. Major General Huo, ah, no, Lieutenant General Huo, he was going to take responsibility, but then Wen He noticed and interrupted him. I know now that Wen He loves him for real. When I think of what she had to say during the press conference, it makes my heart break.”
