"The moment you cried because you were fighting for us - that made me feel worse than anyone else. I want to be the man who protects you, not the man who you protect. Do you get that?"
Qiao Qing's eyes were red after she heard his words, "You are determined to make me cry today."
Jun Yexuan's grip around the jewelry box tightened, "I'm sorry. Please don't cry."
His countless apologies finally broke Qiao Qing. No longer able to contain herself, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Jun Yexuan was instantly flustered. He hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Damn me. I never wanted you to cry… oh…"
