Mai Xiaomai stopped asking questions, quietly holding him, feeling the subtle changes in his body.
She knew, something significant must have happened.
What exactly could it be?

Or has Qiao Chuleng made another ruthless move, leaving him defenseless?
Before she became part of his world, she felt he was not on the same wavelength, dark yet powerful, an invincible figure.

Qiao Chutian quietly held her for about ten minutes before releasing her.
His previously disoriented gaze had settled down somewhat and returned to a semblance of normalcy.
Yes, Mai Xiaomai was his source of strength.
As long as she is here, even if the world collapses in front of him, he feels he can bear it.
Mai Xiaomai looked at him lovingly, reaching out to touch his face.
