"Wow! Dongxu!" Yuan Li heard Ge Dongxu's voice, suddenly pushed the people beside her and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.
No one stood up for her when so many people saw her, a woman, being hit by a man. Instead, they actually urged her to apologize to the man who had hit her. She felt so wronged and sad.
Now that she heard Ge Dongxu's voice, she couldn't control her feelings of grievance and sadness anymore.
"Don't cry, Sister Li, don't cry. I'm here for you!" Seeing Yuan Li cry her eyes out in his arms, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but feel a surge of heartache and quickly embraced her, gently patting her shoulders.
"Hmph, what a bold claim. Don't you even look at your own status? A bumpkin daring to speak such words in the capital," Cui Mingshuo sneered.
Ge Dongxu gave Cui Mingshuo a cold glance but didn't rush up immediately; instead, he softly consoled Yuan Li.
