"Husband, honestly, I can't bear it either, but you know what? My family matters are my mission, my duty that I must fulfill. Because I am Shang Yide's daughter, I must take on this responsibility. I don't want to always hide in your arms—I also want to prove that I can do it too, that my parents' love for me wasn't in vain, that my brother can be proud of his little sister."
Xixia stared softly at Gu Jingchen, her eyes shimmering. Though her voice was tender and murmured, it was filled with resolute determination.
"Alright!"
Time marched forward. The room fell silent. The two exchanged a gaze for a moment before Gu Jingchen finally relented, nodding in defeat. His face looked somewhat pale and weary, yet his thin lips tugged helplessly into a faint smile—ah, he truly loved his young wife deeply. Whenever they had a disagreement, he was always the one to concede, wasn't he?
"Thank you, husband!"
