"Nicely done," Mubai praised. "But I hope that, in the future, you will leave the hard work to me."
He didn't want her to face the world alone. He wanted to solve every problem for her.
Xinghe looked at him and said, "I'm not your typical damsel in distress. However, I realize there's a limit to what I can do. You can help me with those things that I can't handle and vice versa. I want us to be equal, neither of us less valuable than the other."
Take the matter of Barron as an example, if not for Mubai, they would be dead.
Mubai smiled when Xinghe said so. He took her hands and said, "Xinghe, I'm glad that you're okay."
He felt he was dreaming that he was physically beside her. Xinghe's eyes shone slightly; actually, she was glad that he was fine, too. They were divorced and had an uncertain future, but she didn't want anything bad to happen to him. Thankfully, they were both alive.
