'Besides, I'll ask him to tell me what happened during this period in more detail.'
Janet retweeted the news from the reporter, with the captions, "Infatuation? Acting? You're wrong, and I can confidently tell you that we are in love!"
She then logged out of Weibo. 'I only hope that Daniel will not embarrass me later,' she thought.
When she arrived home, she opened her Weibo again, and found out that her post had been overwhelmed with comments.
The top comment had come from a Weibo user called Bilbo. It read, "Mrs. Si, I had followed you since before you married Mr. Si. It was four years ago that you were first shown on camera, and at that time, fear and confusion could've been easily found in your eyes. But now, you are confident in yourself, and stronger. I don't think that you're lying. Best wishes to you and Mr. Si!"
The second comment was from a Weibo user who was called Doug. It read, "Mrs. Si is bossy! Formidable! I have faith in your love."
The third was from Greg, and it said, "You can tell how strong Mr. Si's love is to Mrs. Si from their wedding ceremony. What the hell are those impolite paparazzi talking about?"
...
Almost all the popular comments were on Janet's side.
Of course, some critic also existed. For example, a comment read, "Daniel is an unfaithful husband. It's lame of him to indulge in dissipation without going home when his wife is pregnant..."
Before Janet had stood up for Daniel, his female fans had already posted their comments and attacked those who started to speak ill of Daniel.
Later, Sally also posted on Weibo, "Nobody can judge the pure and unshaken love between my brother and my sister-in-law." 'Their privacy shouldn't be exposed to the public like that. The reporters are the only ones to blame,' thought Sally to herself.
Although Sally had not been the first one to comment, her comment had been pushed to the first five trending, because she was Daniel's sister.
Her comment was replied to by thousands of people. For example, a Weibo user called RoyBatty replied to her, "Support Mr. Si' sister! If reporters have the time to gossip, they should give more reports on those who are in need."
A Weibo user called Regis replied, "We witnessed their love at their unparalleled wedding ceremony on TV. These are just petty tricks coming from the reporters."
Another user called Candy12, replied, "Although I believe what Mrs. Si said, I hope that Mr. Si can avoid in the future to be photographed on those special occasions."
...
Janet spent the whole afternoon reading comments and private messages, and she still had many unread messages.
She thought to herself, 'I have to admit, the internet is really powerful.'
Nicole called her, and said, "Jane, what's going on? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Nicole. Don't you worry about me," replied Janet. Lola had come in and comforted her for a moment when she was reading the comments.
Nicole, who was in Daniel's favor, said, "Jane, Daniel is not that kind of man as they said. You should believe in him. Besides, you're pregnant now, and getting angry is not good for the baby."
"I know, Nicole. When are you due to give birth?" asked Janet. She knew what she had to do, and she decided to hear Daniel's explanation when he came back.
Nicole touched her colossal belly, and with a slight smile on her face, said, "In a week."
"Both of us should take good care of ourselves," said Janet. She decided to keep herself in a good mood, at least for the baby's sake.
"We will," replied Nicole.
After she hung up, Janet received a call from Ivanka. Brian had told her that Daniel couldn't contact Janet because at the moment he was in a place where he had no phone signal, and because his location could be traced.
Janet had no idea that Brian had been staying with Daniel all along.
Ivanka also told her that Daniel felt guilty about his absence during her pregnancy, and that he would explain all to her after he came back.
'Didn't Daniel go on a business trip? Why is he afraid his location would be traced?' wondered Janet.
