"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you saying anything?" Xue'er was getting a bit anxious while waiting, and she couldn't help but urge him. She was an impatient person, and she was truly worried seeing Mu Qiancheng like this.
She wanted to know what was going on with Mu Qiancheng before, why he seemed so sullen. Logically, seeing her earn money and join the Calligraphy Association, he should be happy.
But he didn't seem too happy, rather he appeared to be burdened with heavy thoughts.
"Xue'er, I just, just..." Seeing Xue'er getting anxious, Mu Qiancheng bit his lip, and finally spoke, "I'm just worried that you might leave me. After all, you're so outstanding now, and I'm afraid I don't match up to you. I'm even more afraid that I can't protect you."
As soon as he said that, Xue'er was stunned. She never imagined that Mu Qiancheng's concern was this. She had thought, had thought that Mu Qiancheng's feelings for her had changed, even doubting his love for her.
