"Officer An? What is this...?" Si Mo's handsome eyebrows instantly knitted together in concern.
The person blocking their way was the high-ranking officer An Tongde.
"Officer Si, I'm sorry, but we need to talk to you about something," An Tongde said, his face serious, lowering his voice.
"You have something to talk to me about?" Si Mo's thick eyebrows furrowed.
An Tongde nodded.
Si Mo looked at An Tongde for a long moment, then said softly, "Whatever it is, let's wait until I'm done accompanying my wife at the awards ceremony."
An Tongde hesitated, looking at him.
"If you don't want to make a scene, you can stop me now," Si Mo said as he wrapped his arm around Xia Yiwan's slender waist, holding her steady as he stared back at An Tongde.
The people next to An Tongde moved forward, but he stopped them: "Fine, I'll wait here for you, Officer Si."
Si Mo nodded and, with his arm still around Xia Yiwan, headed towards the red carpet.
