"Last time, last time you didn't ask these things, so, so I didn't speak..."
After detailing all the brutal events that had happened, it was as if Xu Xiu had to relive that type of fear once again. After finishing, she weakly said to Li Ming, her lips tightly shut.
"It's okay, but now she's yours, call her husband and let him hear."
Li Ming, looking at her state, laughed a bit; understanding Xu Xiu's personality better, he gently and persuasively spoke to her, staring into her eyes.
Xu Xiu was momentarily startled, looking into his eyes, she mumbled: "Husband."
"That's a good girl, you are such a good wife. In the past, you didn't have a strong person to rely on, anything that scared you was bottled up inside."
"Now you have me as your husband to depend on, remember to talk about everything with me. This pillar of a 'husband' not only feeds you but also provides you a solid shelter to rely on."
Li Ming patted Xu Xiu's hip gently, speaking softly.
