Chapter 61: Press Conference,
* * *
It had been a week since the news finally came out, the topic was still the talk of the nation, however, even though it was a happy event that Daniel and Luangmin had finally come out of the shadows, all members of the Mo family were somewhat feeling tensed.
This is because although Daniel was now out, Daniella's case was also processing quickly. It had been already decided that Daniella's court trial will be the day before her and Daniel's birthday, which was in three weeks. Laotian was confident that Daniella will lose the trial and will be sentenced to life imprisonment but he could also not help but feel restless.
It's not because he was thinking the woman could somehow escape her fate but more like, why was his anticipated revenge taking so long!? At this time he really wished he should have just kidnapped the woman and torture her like he always does with his enemies.
Even at his moment of victory, the thought of Daniella still annoyed him to a high extent.
"Goodluck with the press conference, Laotian, and please be careful." Daniel softly reminded pulling Laotian off of his irritating thoughts. Instantly, he wraps his arms around Daniel and quickly pushes his mouth against him, and regrettably withdrew after seconds.
"Why must I explain my life to those irrelevant people!?" He complained as he nuzzled against his beloved's neck.
*giggles* "Because you are Mo Laotian, silly. Half of the population in this country needed answers. After all, their dream husband has now been taken. But of course, if you really don't want to, you can always just leave them alone." Daniel replied with a smile while he caresses the Alpha's back soothingly.
Laotian chuckled at Daniel's reply but of course, if he wants a peaceful life with the Omega, he needed to appease the press. For the past days, because he had remained silent, the reporters had been following him every day, his residence area and workplace. They just won't stop!
It was only his wishful thinking that they will give up after a week but now even his employees had now been harassed the same way he does in an attempt to get information, Hanlu had also complained. Even he complained, the subject of all love affair gossips in the entertainment and business industry. He was a constant target of reporters but even he complained.
"Of course I can't, I will not be explaining for them. I will be explaining because I don't want those reporters harassing you."
"Thank you, Laotian. I'm lucky I married a very considerate man." Daniel commented, he held the Alpha's cheeks as they pull away from each other. He tiptoed and gave Laotian a peck on his lips with a shy blush.
Meanwhile, Hanlu who was waiting for his older brother to finish saying his goodbyes to his wife, rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Okay, That's enough you lovebirds! No need to be so affectionate! Both of you are already married and have a son! Please limit your affection. We still have business to run!" Hanlu frowned crossing his arms and faced the two.
Daniel chuckled at the Alpha's remarks and finally lets go of Laotian, "Go on! Call me when anything happens." Daniel assured.
"Only when something happens?" Ignoring his younger brother, Laotian asked.
"Okay, even if nothing happens, " Daniel laughs, he chewed on his lower lips. His blush still hasn't disappeared. Even though every day when Laotian goes to work, they bid their farewell every time in the morning but somehow, it didn't feel redundant.
The lonely and sad feeling was still there at the thought they would not be seeing each other the whole day. The love and affection they felt that grow each day they wake up. The blush that still appears on Daniel's cheeks when Laotian stares at him with so much love and lust. And finally, that breathtaking hungry kiss he gets from Alpha when they finally part for the day.
Although the same thing happens every day, it felt like each day was unique. Sometimes things do not make sense when in love.
"Okay, see you later in the evening," Laotian said affectionately, he pulled Daniel for another kiss earning a loud groan of complaint from Hanlu.
" Urghh!! This is why I go to work early!" Hanlu mumbled and finally gets inside the car, he could not take watching the couple's display of affection anymore. He was so sick of it already! He could still not accept his older brother was a like puppy when in love.
Daniel waved his hand goodbye to the Alpha which Laotian respond with a smile, however, seconds after he rides the car, he has resumed to his usual enigmatic presence. His demeanor considerably becomes domineering when they finally left the estate.
If the chauffeur could describe it, Mo Laotian's light and loving presence when he's with his wife substantially become darker when he's not with him. At the moment, his boss looks like everything aside from his beloved wife was simply mundane to his eyes.
The whole drive was silent as Laotian sat on his car, he was already reading some of his documents as he waited for them to arrived at the press conference he abruptly scheduled last night. He was just actually planning to confirm some things people were eager to know. Nothing more and nothing less.
"Sir, we have arrived." The chauffer reminded noticing that Mo Laotian was busy with the documents he was reading. Laotian simply nodded and briefly glanced at the security personnel and two of his secretaries already lining in front of his car to greet him. Since he was hosting a press conference, it was only natural that security was a bit tighter than usual.
Mo Laotian quickly fixed his things. When one of his secretaries finally opened the door for him, he stepped out of the car and like that of a modern emperor, he was oozing with a strong presence and air of nobility. The dark-blue vintage fitted double-breasted suit paired with a freshly polished brown leather shoes complimented his masculine body underneath.
Although, his expression was cold as if he didn't know how to smile. With his hair slicked back and perfectly chiseled face, he could easily drive any men and women insane.
"They are all waiting inside sir," The head security of his elite team informed. Laotian only briefly nodded as he continued to walk inside the building. Since this was a last-minute decision and a private event, there were only two representatives allowed to partake in the press conference from each agency.
Laotian does not want much attention so aside from the ones that were contacted last night, no one knew of this event.
"Good Morning! Ladies and gentlemen, all of you were called today to partake in this private event in regards to the subject involving our CEO and Chairman..." The PR head started. There were 54 individuals in the room, all remained silent as they waited. Since they all have already been oriented with the dos and don'ts of the event, everyone was willing to be patient as to avoid being kicked out of this rare opportunity.
There was not a single sound that could be heard as the PR head continued to mention the agenda, everyone knew that their questions will be answered later, it would be useless to ask now and risk being kicked out.
"Our CEO and Chairman was kind enough to host this private event, and with this rare occasion, Mr. Mo Laotian will answer your question personally." The PR head finished. The moment the large and heavy door of the room opened and walked inside was Mo Laotian, the sound of the cameras flashing started evading the room.
As the Chairman of the Mo Empire and someone who hated being in public, the reporters and journalists thought the person they will be interviewing today was the President of the Company, Mo Hanlu, alas they were wrong.
A collection of surprise gasps emanated from the crowd as the Alpha with his perfectly swept back hair, men and woman couldn't help but be mesmerized by his strong and noble presence and at the same time tremble at the dangerous aura he was emanating.
"I am not as polite as to explain my private matters to the public, but the desire to provide my family and employees their safety and privacy, contradicted my initial decision." Mo Laotian started, his deep Alpha voice rang across the room. There was so much power in his tune that not a single person in the room was not put on edge.
"My long marriage to Daniel Sullen is not of an unexpected child or convenience, the sudden transfer of shares of the Sullen Corporation to the Mo Empire was but a surprise to us as well. The Mo Family and Sullen family are old friends and there not a feud between us in the least. It was the sole decision of the president and chairman of the company, Gabriel Sullen, to transfer his shares as his gift to his long lost grandson, my beloved wife, Daniel Sullen. " Laotian continued drawing another set of surprise gasps from the crowd.
The information they're taking was from Mo Laotian himself, with this, all he's saying is true.
"But as the subject circulating about Daniella Sullen's case, my wife's twin sister. Yes, it is the Mo Family that had brought her behinds bars. For the explanation, you will all find out in three weeks' time." Laotian added and this time there were whispers among the crowd but no one dared to voice out their thought yet without the signal that they are now okay to ask.
"With all these main information, I hope I have preserved both my family and employees' safety and privacy," Mo Laotian ended with a dangerous warning at the end. He didn't wait for the crowd to ask as he just simply steps out of the podium and slowly started walking away.
As the reporters and journalists see the Alpha's exiting figure, they all started voicing out there questions, crying internally not having the opportunity to even ask. What's the point of the press conference if now all they have was the follow-up questions!?
Although what was revealed to them was the question they were aiming for since weeks ago, now that it was answered, they have another set of questions. The crowd was in total chaos when another big figure walked inside the room with all his charming smiles.
"My! My! Please take your seats, ladies and gentlemen. " Hanlu greeted with a smile that instantly soothed the crowd as they settled back in their seats.
"Our chairman is a very conservative man, so to compensate and answer all your undying questions, I will be here to accommodate you all in my best ability."
