Chapter 1302: A Dilemma

But Xia Qingwei was afraid of spoiling Lu Man’s reputation, afraid that people would say Lu Man was arrogant, so she did not dare say it aloud.

But Wang Juhuai did not have such concerns as he was hugging Lu Man lightly. When they parted, he gave her a thumbs-up. “You deserve it!”

If Wang Juhuai said so, no one else would dare to voice a different opinion, would they?

Lu Man sat in the first row, so the guests behind her also shook her hands in felicitations.

Even if they did not know Lu Man personally, they were very warm towards her because of Wang Juhuai.

When Lu Man was done shaking hands with the people near her, Han Zhuoli also stood up.

Lu Man turned around and looked at him, surprised.

In a bid to protect her, worried that people in the entertainment industry would regard Lu Man’s achievements as due to him, and also worried that she would be harassed at school…

Han Zhuoli had kept resisting the urge to go public with their relationship.

He thought of and did all he could for her, and more.

Actually, Lu Man did too.

This man had had such a hard time enduring, and Lu Man knew it, feeling that it was extremely unfair for Han Zhuoli.

She did not mind going public with their relationship, unafraid of any positive or negative impact that it might bring to her in the future.

She could endure any good and bad, as long as she was with him.

He could suffer by himself, always hiding in the dark, all for her.

And she could be in the light with him, for him.

It was just that she always understood his rationale for doing this.

It was for her own good, and she could not bear to disappoint him.

On one hand, trying to do as he wished; on the other hand, trying to find an opportunity to go public.

Both parties had to contribute when in a relationship.

She could not bear it if he was the only one giving while she always took.

Yet now, Han Zhuoli actually stood up.

Everyone at the venue saw Han Zhuoli stand.

When Lu Man first encountered a difficulty, Han Zhuoli had yet to enter the picture.

When he finally came, Wang Juhuai had already brought Xia Qingwei to back Lu Man up.

When Lu Man came over, Han Zhuoli then heard from Wang Juhuai about Lu Man being ostracized.

Though hearing it was not as real as witnessing it, Han Zhuoli was furious nonetheless.

They dared to bully Lu Man precisely because they thought she was a good target.

He couldn’t help but wonder whether he was wrong to keep his marriage to Lu Man under wraps.

For Lu Man’s sake, so that she won’t be harassed at school and be denied of her achievements, so that she won’t be overshadowed by the Han surname…

He knew that if they went public with their relationship, people would gossip, and whatever achievements she had attained because of her own ability would become achievements due to Han Zhuoli!

But without Han Zhuoli’s help, she would be nothing.

Han Zhuoli did not want Lu Man’s hard work to be denied just like this.

But then, this had both advantages and disadvantages.

The good would obviously be that Lu Man’s efforts could be seen by everyone.

But the bad side would be that some people would think Lu Man was an easy target and anyone could bully her.

Because he cared, he was in a dilemma.

A man who was always so decisive was now hesitating about making their relationship known.

Because he wanted the best for Lu Man and not let her suffer any harm.

Yet no matter what he chose, it would never be perfect.

Han Zhuoli never thought that he would one day be someone who brought harm to Lu Man.

This was what he could not accept no matter what.

What he wished to do now was to present to the world Lu Man’s importance to him, so people would not underestimate her.
