Xiao Jing didn't know that his words had caused a big quarrel between Lin Ru and her husband, the both of whom used to be a lovely couple. After spending some time at the party, he finally found a chance to slip away.

Xiao Yao, Xiao Sa, and Tang Xi had also finished watching the movie. When Xiao Jing went to pick them up, he complained that Xiao Sa was so selfish to leave him alone at the banquet. Xiao Sa smiled and said, "You are so famous and so many people were around you. Why should I have stayed there? To serve as your patron saint?"

Tang Xi was still immersed in the movie, and her eyes were a bit glazed over. While Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing were quarreling, she suddenly raised her head and said, "I really want to be a special forces soldier."

Xiao Yao didn't pay attention to the two brothers. Hearing Tang Xi's words, he smiled. The movie had been really good. After watching it, a sense of responsibility would well up in the hearts of the viewers; though of course, he already had a strong sense of responsibility. He stretched out his hand to rub at Tang Xi's hair and said with a smile, "If you can build up your body, protect yourself and others, and still have such a strong sense of mission, then you'll make the best special forces soldier."

Tang Xi looked up at Xiao Yao with a slight smile on her face and asked, "Yao, are you a soldier like that?"

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing had stopped arguing, and before Xiao Yao answered, Xiao Sa rushed to say, "Little Rourou, you are wrong. Yao isn't a soldier but an officer, but he isn't an officer of Special Forces, but a clerk. That kind of clerk, you know." Then he winked at Tang Xi and looked at her with suggestive eyes.

Tang Xi laughed and said, "Sa, are you jealous of Yao?" Then she suddenly paused. Now Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing were both in a suit, while Yao was still wearing a white shirt and jeans, looking much younger than the both of them.

Seeing Tang Xi's look, Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing immediately got angry. "Little Rourou, what are you looking at? This is only because of the clothes!"

"I look better in a suit than the two of you," Xiao Yao said coldly, pulling Tang Xi out of the theater.

Tang Xi looked at Xiao Yao's back, and giggled. "I didn't know you were also so narcissistic, Yao."

Xiao Yao frowned and turned around to say, "Don't you think I'm telling the truth?"

Tang Xi paused and immediately nodded. "Absolutely true!"

"So," began Xiao Yao, glancing at the two men behind him before continuing, "I'm just telling the truth, not being narcissistic."

Tang Xi laughed even more loudly. At that moment, however, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa suddenly ran towards them. Xiao Sa took off his coat and covered Tang Xi's head as he ran to her. Xiao Jing quickly went in front of Tang Xi and shielded her with his body. As soon as the two brothers finished this series of actions, a spotlight immediately fell on them and soon journalists swarmed in.

"Mr. Xiao Jing, are you here to watch a movie? Which movie did you watch?"

"Mr. Xiao Jing, may I ask who the girl behind you is? Seeing how you're so protective of her, is she your girlfriend?"

Tang Xi's head was suddenly covered by a coat and she couldn't see anything. Just when she was going to ask what was going on, she heard the journalists' questions, so she could only look at the black coat above her head silently. Xiao Yao put an arm around her shoulder and took her out. He whispered to Xiao Jing as he was walking, "We'll be waiting for you in the parking lot."

The journalists had come to the cinema to interview the audience's viewing experience only to capture the breaking news about Xiao Jing. Naturally, they wouldn't let them leave. A journalist immediately stood in their way and reached out his hand to drag away the coat on Tang Xi's head. Holding Tang Xi, Xiao Yao didn't notice the journalist's action, and the coat over Tang Xi's head was suddenly pulled off. In that very moment, Xiao Yao suddenly pulled Tang Xi into his arms and pressed her face against his chest. Then he looked at the journalist and said coldly, "Get lost!"

Xiao Yao was usually not talkative and had an unapproachable aura. At this moment, he released an oppressing aura, which almost suffocated these people. Xiao Sa also came over angrily, shouting, "If you want to find some entertainment news, go find some stars. There are so many stars who want exposure. Why are you pestering us? F*ck off!"

He was truly angry. If Rourou's face was exposed by them at this time, Xiao Jinning would have kept hassling Rourou when the TV commercial was released.

Xiao Yao was angry, too. Looking coldly at the breastplate of the journalist who had just pulled the coat off Tang Xi's head, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm saying this for the last time. Get lost!"

Xiao Jing went over to pick up the coat on the ground and handed it to Xiao Sa. Then he took off his coat, and said with great seriousness, "My sister has severe autism and depression. Do you know what the result will be when you point so many cameras at her?"

Some of the journalists stepped back upon hearing this, but the journalist who pulled the coat off from Tang Xi's head couldn't help sneering, "Sister? Mr. Xiao, is she really your sister? Perhaps you three brothers have some peculiar taste…"

Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes and gave a cold smile. He took out his phone, dialed a number and looked straight at the breastplate of the journalist. "Hongguang Entertainment, check it for me."

"So you Xiao Family people are going to throw your weight around?" The journalist from Hongguang Entertainment was a little afraid when he saw Xiao Yao make the call, but then he thought to himself: since there were so many journalists here, why should he be afraid?

Xiao Yao snorted and said, "Do you think you're worthy of that?" Then he warned him, "Take back what you just said, or else you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

The journalist from Hongguang Entertainment frowned and gave a contemptuous smile in response. "Don't you dare bully me?!"

Xiao Jing took a look at Xiao Yao and said flatly, "Yao, take Rourou down and we will deal with it."

Xiao Yao glanced at the journalist from Hongguang Entertainment before walking outside, protecting Tang Xi. Tang Xi thought it was a bit embarrassing to go out of the cinema like this, but warmth welled up within her. When they arrived at the parking lot, Tang Xi asked, "Yao, you've been photographed by those people. Is it okay?"

Smiling, Xiao Yao opened the car door, took down the coat over Tang Xi's head and closed the door. "It's all right. Sa will handle it."

Tang Xi nodded and turned on her phone to read the news. Then she suddenly glimpsed the headline of a piece of real-time news about Xiao Hongli's family bullying journalists.

Tang Xi frowned and said, "Yao, Hongguang Entertainment is really a bully!"

That journalist had cut the entire video recording of the incident into a one-minute-long video, which showed the journalists coming up to interview them when they had come out of the cinema. They refused, and then Xiao Yao, holding onto Tang Xi, shouted "get lost" at the journalist, Xiao Sa cursed at them and Xiao Yao threatened them…
