Li Shengxiao steadied his breathing, his voice becoming huskier, one hand pressing on her shoulder. Her delicate shoulders seemed so frail, so in need of protection, yet the things she did were even stronger and more decisive than the average man.
Take this Lemon Entertainment incident, for example; she could have simply asked him for help. For him, dealing with someone like Gu Zekai was nothing more than the flick of a wrist.
Yet, she preferred to concoct her traps, matching wits and courage with those people, rather than asking for his assistance.
Li Shengxiao couldn't sort out the taste in his heart.
On one hand, there was an undeniable sense of loss because she hadn't turned to him. On the other, he felt pride deep within for her resilience and capability.
He couldn't express the swelling pride in his heart, for he had never felt such strong emotions for anyone before.
