Yun Bixue heart thumped as she asked, “If they forced you, what would happen?”

Xie Limo rose and something shifted in his gaze. His lips that were shaped like cherry blossoms pursed together into a thin line.

Yun Bixue became anxious and grabbed his hand. “Limo, tell me!”

“I will do my best to drag the entire Xie family down to hell with me.”

Hearing that statement, Yun Bixue froze. The hand that she had on Xie Limo trembled as she paled visibly. Even after a while, she couldn’t find her voice.

All the words seemed stuck in her throat.

After a long while, Yun Bixue’s eyes started to rim in red. “Limo, you… can you not have those thoughts, please? No matter what, I will always be by your side.”

Seeing Yun Bixue’s expression, Xie Limo’s heart ached. He reached out and wiped the tears away from the corner of her eyes.

“Xue, I won’t. I won’t do that.”

Yun Bixue who was still anxious tightened her grip on Xie Limo’s hand. “Promise me, that no matter what you do, your safety must be the priority. Just by thinking back to that time when I couldn’t find you, I already find it hard to breathe, as if losing my mind.”

Yun Bixue didn’t want to cry, but in front of him, she was always so emotional, so unlike herself.

She sniffed her nose. It was a relief that she didn’t cry.

Xie Limo’s gaze was loving and tender. “Xue, it’s all my fault. I won’t let you feel that way in the future, okay?”

“You promised. You must keep your word.”

“Yes, I will definitely not break the promise. Haven’t I been here accompanying you for the past few months? I’m safe and sound here.”

Yun Bixue cupped Xie Limo’s face and showered it with kisses. “I know. Although the path ahead will be full of thorns, but with you, I’m okay.”

“Yes.” And this adoring gaze of Xie Limo was reserved for Yun Bixue and her only.

Yun Bixue, who had her back straight all this time, was tiring a little. She rested her head on Xie Limo’s lap, looking up at him as they talked.

This view from below allowed her to see the brimming love in his eyes, filling her heart with warmth.

“Limo, the Ye family may be against the Xie family, but I don’t understand why he would save Chu Fei’er? I heard that Chu Fei’er is scared of him.”

“Leave this to me. I will investigate thoroughly. My approach was wrong. Now that I’m using the Ye family as the starting point of the investigation, I will be able to find something.”

Yun Bixue couldn’t help but nag a little. “Be careful when you investigate.”

“Okay.”

“Whenever you want to do something reckless, think about me and our baby. We’re both waiting for you.”

With a complicated gleam in his eyes, Xie Limo kissed her hand. “Okay, I will listen to the orders of my wife.”

Yun Bixue caught Xie Limo’s hand and kissed it before biting with all her strength. “I’m leaving a mark with this bite so that you will remember my words.”

Xie Limo’s expression softened as he promised her.

What Yun Bixue didn’t know was that many times when Xie Limo was in danger, it was precisely because he thought about her that he managed to get out safely.

Indeed, love was the strongest force, allowing him to call upon an unlimited amount of strength when needed.

When he was choosing his strategies, he would often choose the safer options.

Because he understood that protecting himself was his duty to his wife and family.
