Capítulo 295: He Has the Thing as Well

"Xi Mubai, you are not the master of my life. Plus, my decision has been made; I need this thing in Xia Meng's possession," Xinghe told him. She was not asking for his permission; she was only informing him out of courtesy.

Mubai stared at her for a while before sighing. "Sometimes, I wish you could be a little more… fragile, and not try to take on the whole world on your own."

Also, if she were a little more fragile, she might need to rely on me a little more.

"I still need your aid." Xinghe held his gaze. "In my current situation, I do need to depend on your help."

Mubai smiled happily like a child who was given a sweet treat.

"Okay, I will respect your decision, but you have to promise me to let me take care of your safety." A small compromise from Xinghe had managed to turn his downturned frown upside down.

The corners of Xinghe's eyes quivered and she nodded. "Thank you."
