Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"We are going to announce that there will be no change in the Yu Empire's personnel appointment," Mei Qingyang announced to the press which broke into a fervent discussion as soon she spoke those words.

"But won't young master Yu be deemed as an incompetent person now that his dirty secret is out?" a female reporter asked to them.

Mei Qingyang looked at the girl sitting in the crowd, asking the question with a straight face, with disdain.

"And? How does him being an abuse survivor make him incompetent? Please explain?" Mei Qingyang yelled at the girl. It was very easy to spout non-sense about others when they had not experienced it themselves. The reporter girl could not answer the question. She looked at others for help but they were in the same situation.

"Now, it's very easy to blame everything on him because he, being a man, could have easily shaken away that woman. But why is that an expectation? Because he practices martial arts? Because he has a lot of strength? Or because he is a male?" she asked everyone crudely. The press conference was being broadcasted live. Her words resonated with a lot of boys out there, not only in the country, but in the world, who had been victims of their families and friends asking to 'man up'.

"I will explain to you guys each and every single detail. I want to serve this as a reminder to all the victims out there, that you are not alone. Even a high and mighty person like me can be abused into submission, it all depends on circ.u.mstances. And it is not victim's fault, ever," Yu Tian spoke confidently. After speaking the last sentence, he smiled towards Mei Qingyang. This was something she had taught him and it was time he should reinforce it to other victims out there.

The press also captured this moment, the two love birds, confirming their feelings for each other, once again. And this is how Yu Tian's story went out to the world. It was especially amazing because Yu Tian's and Mei Qingyang's bond on the TV looked something out of fairy tale. It also meant that the victims of abuse could find a true love for themselves too. There would be someone out there who would accept them with their scars, just like Mei Qingyang accepted Yu Tian.

"After this, I would like to announce that Yu Empire has established an anonymous hotline for people like me, who can call, talk about their problems if they are being abused, vent out their frustration and ask for advice. This is the first new project that we are developing under my command. There will be no discrimination of gender for this hotline. For now, it is available nationwide, but we are in talks with other countries as well," Yu Tian announced, an angelic smile on his face.

Suddenly the whole hall went into an uproar. Not because of the hotline, but how handsome Yu Tian looked when he genuinely smiled. No one had ever seen him in a good mood, he was always cold.

"In the end, I have the last thing to announce," Yu Tian spoke once again. Mei Qingyang looked at him quizzingly. She did not know there was something else on the agenda.

"Mei Qingyang. You have been the sunshine of my life for past few months now. I know I might be rushing it but, since I have already told you my intent to spend my lifetime together with you, I would like to ask you this question. Will you marry me?" he took out a small diamond ring from his pocket and knelt down in front of everyone.

Even Su Lang, Feng Yue and Fan Ruyi had no idea that he was planning to do this. Right in front of the whole world? For the girl who was so lowkey? Aaarggghh, why did he not discuss it with them? What if she turned him down in front of everyone? His reputation had already hit rock bottom and they had salvaged it just now a bit but this…

Mei Qingyang sat there on the chair dumbfounded. What happened just now? Did she just got proposed to? Like this? How? Why? She had not even achieved anything yet. She was not supposed to be happy about this but why did she feel so giddy?

Why was her heart wanting to jump out of her c.h.e.s.t? Why did tears want to escape her eyes? Why was her face feeling hot? She wanted to be in a cute dress but why did she have to be in business attire at this point? Wait, she had already decided that in her heart? How? When?

Countless questions ran through her mind. Not hearing any answer from the kitten, Yu Tian stared becoming anxious. Was it too soon? He should not have taken the impulsive decision. He was beating himself up for having done this. But again, he already had no reputation left, so another rejection would not matter.

This was too out of the blue. Mei Qingyang did not have even an inkling of this. What would be the right decision here?

"Silly girl, there are no right or wrong decisions in love. Go with what your heart d.e.s.i.r.es," she heard the voice of the baby girl Li Sibao in her mind who was mocking her at her 'too practical a mind'.

"Anyway, this was what I was living for. Now that you have heard everything and assimilated the truth, I think it is time for me to go as well. Say goodbye to your trauma Mei Qingyang and accept that guy. It would do you good," the girl clad in white appeared before Mei Qingyang on the stage. The turbulence about this girl was gone. She had the aura of peace about herself as well.

Mei Qingyang pursed her lips as she finally focused on the guy in front of her who was looking at her eagerly for her reply.

"Thank You Li Sibao. And goodbye," she said in her heart.

"Qing Qing?" Yu Tian looked at her whose whole face had gone red. She did not look too good. Was it too overwhelming for her? Did he make it too burdensome?

Mei Qingyang did not say anything still. She just stared at the man in front of her, her tears had finally rolled down her cheeks.

"I… I am sorry. We can talk about it. Don't take too much stress," Yu Tian fumbled as soon as he saw her tears. He… made a wrong decision after all.

Mei Qingyang, in a bold move, just held his neck and kissed his lips, her hands trembling. She did not know if it was because she was too happy or if it was the fear of getting into something she had no idea about.

But heck, they will figure it out later. All she knew was that her heart had only space for him at the moment and she was all up for it.

"It's a hundred time yes Tian. I was just too shocked earlier because it was really unexpected, haha," she smiled embarrassed. The crowd cheered for both of them, Su Lang jumping high in air with excitement.

"You gave my heart attack for once," Yu Tian put the ring on her finger and swept her in his arms, twirling around in happiness.

"Thank you, Tian," she buried her head in his shoulders, sobbing. This was too much happiness and she was afraid of it for once, since she never had been so happy in her life.

But again, she was a warrior. She, together with him, had overcome so many obstacles, she could overcome more.

In another house, Bai Yuchen threw away the glass in his hands, shattering it all on the floor.

"This girl! Does she not understand her own talent? It will all be wasted if she gets married at such young age. This is the problem with women, as soon as they fall in love, they lose rationality. Idiot! Assistant, make the arrangements. We are getting out of here soon."
