Jian Yufei nodded emphatically, "I understand, but..."
"There are no buts! Yufei, if you trust me, let me handle this. Even if I'm unfortunate enough to die, it's just a testament to my own inadequacy."
Jian Yufei felt a pang in her heart—how could he say something like...
"Ruan Tianling, if you die, what would I do? What about our children?" she demanded, staring at him.
Ruan Tianling pursed his lips, "It's because I'm not strong enough... to protect you all."
"Do you have to be such a macho man?!" Jian Yufei couldn't help but yell, "We are a family; when there are difficulties, we should all work together, not leave it all on your shoulders! Your problems are my problems, why do you have to draw such a clear line?! I know you're a man, but what does that have to do with anything? Men are human too! When you need help, I can stand up to help you. You shouldn't push me aside and try to solve everything yourself!"
