My duty as your man

Xia Luna pushed his arms off her gently. "No, Jiang Xingyu. I didn't tell you all this so you could join me. I told you so you understand why I couldn't and cannot be with you. Look, this is my battle, and I don't want to implicate anyone. 

I don't even know who I'm fighting against, and I'm pretty sure that whoever it is, I'm already their target. How can I let you put your life in danger for me?" 

Jiang Xingyu took her hand, placing a light kiss on her cold little fingers. "How can I let you walk into danger on your own? Xia, I would be a failure if I did that. My role as your man is to protect you." 

"My man, Jiang Xingyu? Since when..." Xia Luna was dumbfounded as she asked him.
