Xia Zhe was not completely unaware of Zheng Yuan's intentions. The Xia family and the Zheng family were both from the capital. Although the Zheng family was not very influential, the whole family had always been dutiful citizens. Zheng Yuan could be considered to have grown up together with Xia Zhe.
However, Xia Zhe had always treated Zheng Yuan like his younger sister. He took care of her in the way an older brother took care of his younger sister and he did not expect Zheng Yuan to misunderstand him.
"Zheng Yuan, calm down," Xia Zhe said to Zheng Yuan with a frown.
Tears welled up in Zheng Yuan's eyes and she could no longer suppress the love and grievances in her heart. She pointed at the tent and said, "Xia Zhe! What have you done to me for this woman!"
Xia Zhe shook his head and said, "She's my wife. It's my duty and obligation to protect her and it's what I need to do. You're just my subordinate and what I'm doing is my job."
