Chapter 149, You Are Not Alone in Bearing This

Jian Xi clutched the towel in front of her chest to prevent any indecent exposure. With her hair dripping wet behind her, she glared at him, "Why didn't you tell me that Third Brother went to the Jian residence?"

"He was right to vent your anger," Nan Mufeng said. "Those people deserved a lesson long ago."

"They've been here?" Jian Xi raised her eyebrows sensitively.

"Mm-hmm."

"And then?"

"I scared them off," Nan Mufeng said proudly, lifting his chin. "You should thank me for protecting your home."

Jian Xi's lips twitched as she grabbed Nan Mufeng's hand to steady herself while standing up. Nan Mufeng took her hand in return.

"Some burdens shouldn't be carried alone. You're not struggling by yourself."

A warmth spread unexpectedly in her heart, and Jian Xi nodded, her tone much softer, "Let's go to the Jian residence together later."

"Sure," Nan Mufeng agreed happily.

He had always wanted to help her, but she never gave him the chance!
