Puslin always knew that Yu Man was an incredibly strong female.
Even with what happened five years ago, Yu Man was upset for a while, but she didn't shed a single tear!
"No! That's not true! What I care about most has always been you and Manman! Without you two, I don't see any purpose in living!"
Puslin held Yu Man's hand, "I… I just wanted to stand a little taller, to shield you and Manman from the wind and rain..."
He lowered his head, his voice hoarse.
"I don't want my wife to be troubled..."
The incident from five years ago has always been a knot in his heart.
At that time, he was still too weak and couldn't protect his wife, needing her to set up a scheme herself.
Every time he thought about his own incompetence back then, Puslin was motivated to climb higher, at the very least, to not be so powerless when his wife was in trouble.
He thought, perhaps, the current head of the Reed family—Blanwen—harbored the same sentiments?
