Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Gu Family Makes a Move 12_1

In that instant, He Teng’s heart softened, and his hand, previously frozen mid-air, gently lowered, landing on her hair. Then, he began to tenderly stroke her hair.

"Go to sleep early," he murmured after a moment, seeing her calmly leaning against him, confirmed his decision not to push her away.

"Mm."

The person in his arms responded in a muffled voice, lifted her head to glance at him, then lowered it again and closed her eyes.

The concern that had lasted the night thankfully did not extend into the next day. The Financial News wasn’t released until that afternoon. The most noticeable part was an apology letter addressed to Lanteng Company and Miss He, overruling all previous reports, acknowledging the reporter and newspaper’s negligence. They added that the reporter responsible for publishing the false news had been fired, and if the parties involved wished to pursue legal action, the newspaper would cooperate fully.

He Teng took the newspaper from the receptionist, breathed a sigh of relief, then passed it to He Zhilan, saying, "Everything’s fine now."

He Zhilan blew her nose, nodded, glanced at the newspaper, then looked at He Teng, asking, "Are you going back to the military base?"

He Teng nodded, "There are many things to do, I should go back. Get ready, I will take you to school first."

"Thanks for being with me last night, otherwise, I don’t know how I would have coped." He Zhilan grinned, "I had a surprisingly deep sleep on you last night. If I suffer from insomnia in the future, I order you to lend me your chest as a sleeping aid!"

He Teng couldn’t help but chuckle, the corners of his mouth twitching into a smile. Seeing He Zhilan in better spirits relieved his concerns.

As they left the hotel, He Zhilan was still in her evening dress. Therefore, He Teng hailed a cab to Capital University. He didn’t insist on saving money by having He Zhilan take the public bus while wearing his coat over her evening dress.

It wasn’t until He Zhilan waved to him from the window of her dormitory that He Teng left Capital University, catching the coat she had dropped down to him.

In the dormitory, her friends had been worried about He Zhilan all morning. Everyone held copies of various newspapers from the capital and breathed a sigh of relief for her.

"Zhilan, the chief editor of the Capital Morning News wrote about you! Let me read it to you!" Chen Xiting shook the newspaper in her hand, she pushed Zhilan into a chair and, after straightening her back and clearing her throat, began to read aloud:

"As a member of the news media, I have always believed that the most important thing in this field is truth, genuine news, interviews, and feelings. I can say, from the preparations for the opening of Lanteng Company until now, despite the limited times I have met with Miss He, the impression she creates is very real, her youthful energy, cheerfulness and optimism shining through. To me, she is like a sunflower, given a hint of sunlight and she will continue to strive upwards. I don’t know how many young people in society today are willing to strive, unfazed by challenges like her. After yesterday’s unfounded smear by a certain newspaper, I don’t know how people will perceive this young lady who always fights hard despite her tender age."
