Ying Lili frowned. The hand that rested on Sheng Li's cheek had stopped caressing it. "Then what do you want me to do? Just watch you doing everything alone? Let you get injured! Do my wife's duties! Just stay inside those walls! Praying for my husband's safety when he goes alone on missions? Tell me!" Ying Lili shouted at him. Sheng Li had never seen her this angry, but why was she angry?
"Lili," he held her hands when she pulled them away. "Sheng Li, if you keep fearing just because of me, then you are a coward. I do not love the coward Sheng Li. Do you know why I took that stab?" Ying Lili's eyes had turned watery.
