This woman never speaks when she's hurt or in pain; he could only cherish and spoil her, keeping her safe.
Yet, she didn't want him.
He felt like a complete fool; he had done everything to make her a real woman, busy with all sorts of things. If she came to seduce and sleep with him, he would get lost in her tenderness. When she went to Dayu, he chased after her thousands of miles away, completely led by the nose by her.
How does that saying go, gained things are never cherished?
That usually refers to men, but in their case, it was the other way around—it referred to her.
Huangfu Jianchen was really angry this time; he swore in his heart he would never approach her first again. Tomorrow morning, he would return to Country Z and afterward be strangers throughout the Martial World!
"Jianchen, here you are." Just then, Mi Yao came running over.
"Yaoyao."
