To be perfectly honest, Lin Xiao was so shaken by Su Qingning's words that his scalp tingled.
After such a massive incident, she didn't blame him. Instead, her first thought was to get him out of this hornets' nest so she could face the consequences alone. This was even more shocking than the night before, when she had unhesitatingly shielded him from Xue Dashan at the bar.
"If I leave, what will you do?" Lin Xiao asked deliberately.
Su Qingning replied in a panic, "I'll... I'll figure something out! At worst, I'll give them the bar. That's what they're after, anyway!"
"But the bar is crucial to you. Can you really let it go?" Lin Xiao asked again.
He seemed to be confirming something, something that was of the utmost importance to him.
Su Qingning, who had been a complete mess just a moment ago, suddenly grew calm. She nodded.
"That's right. The bar is my life. But you're my husband. To be honest, even though I don't like you, I can't just stand by and watch you get hurt!"
