"Bai Xiao is like an indestructible cockroach, but she can get hurt, and she feels pain too!" Bai Xiao closed her eyes in agony.
Ye Huang moved his hand, gently cradling her face: "Xiaoxiao, look into my eyes."
"What's in your eyes?" Bai Xiao opened her eyes, sniffled delicately, still feeling so wronged!
"You are in my eyes."
"..."
Bai Xiao was stunned. Aww, Ye Huang had learned to talk sweet! It was a bit cheesy but very sweet.
"You are my woman, Bai Xiao. If you want something, just say it, and it will be done."
"No, I don't want to rely on you," Bai Xiao pushed away his hand. She knew he was very capable; he could turn things around with a flip of his hand. But what she wanted was true vindication!
"Then you must fight on," Ye Huang said, his gaze determined. "If you can't manage, I will step in, no matter what it takes."
Bai Xiao glared at him angrily: "Why are you so domineering? Can't I even back down?"
"No, you can't."
"!!!"
