Ye Xingguang hung up the phone and once again handed the photo in his phone's frame to Xia Ye Zhao.

No one chooses to be strong, just like no one is born immune to all harms. Most strong girls are simply left with no one to rely on, forcing themselves to cast off their weakness. At least, she is not inherently a dominant woman; deep down, she desires to be protected.
Xia Ye Zhao looked at the photo and noticed her hugging a stranger, causing him to frown.
The photo could be interpreted in many ways. If Ye Jun Qing chose to investigate, she might be in big trouble.
