"Su Xingyue, I'm not that fragile."
Nan Yuling lowered his gaze, looking at the woman in his arms, his eyes softened a bit.
He still needed to protect her, to be her pillar. He wouldn't fall because of something that happened almost twenty years ago!
...
Listening to his words, Su Xingyue felt a burst of pain in her heart.
She suddenly remembered the time when Nan Yuling said that people who had been through death wouldn't give up on life easily. She now understood what he meant.
The ordeal he went through at seven years old was almost like dying once, wasn't it?
The butler's words, she could now fully empathize with them.
She suddenly felt that she and Nan Yuling actually had some similarities.
It's just that... after going through unfortunate events, she still believed in true human kindness.
But he... could only force himself to become stronger, to become heartless, ruthless.
Yet this merciless and ruthless man was earnestly kind to her.
