Tong Sanlang fell quiet for a moment, pouting his lips, before finally speaking, "I'm just afraid you think I'm useless."
Qiao Xiaomai had seen a better world, better people, and she herself was excellent. By marrying him, Qiao Xiaomai was indeed marrying below her status.
Now his family was causing trouble for Qiao Xiaomai, he was failing her, mistreating her.
Under such circumstances, he couldn't muster the audacity to say 'what's yours is mine'.
Qiao Xiaomai was like a gold mine.
But he had nothing.
This was inequity…
Even though he sometimes joked with Qiao Xiaomai about being a gigolo, or being kept by a rich woman, he didn't genuinely wish to live off a woman's money.
Heaving a quiet sigh, he shifted his body towards Qiao Xiaomai, opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
"You're right, I haven't done enough, but I will treat you better and love you more in the future."
