Nan Fei frowned slightly.

“Bei Jiang, what’s wrong with you?” Nan Fei could sense his low spirits and asked cautiously.

Huo Beijiang gritted his teeth, both angry and heartbroken. “You were forced out, and you’re asking me what’s wrong?”

“Yes! I was forced out, not you.”

Huo Beijiang suddenly let go of her waist, clasping her shoulders with both hands, his deep dark eyes suddenly intruding into Nan Fei’s.

She was stunned, obviously startled by his expression. Her thoughts inadvertently drifted to the past, the current him gradually overlapped with the him from ten years later, as if they were the same person.

“Jiang Nanfei, do you have a heart at all? Did a dog eat your conscience?” He gritted his teeth, suppressing his rage to ask.

He was almost dying of anger, and she, the person involved, acted as if nothing had happened.

And… even said that!

He had said this in the past as well, many times over, which made Nan Fei couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’re laughing? You can actually laugh?” Huo Beijiang’s eyes widened, different from his usual reckless demeanor, as well as the indifference and aloofness from the past. This surprisingly made him look somewhat cute in Nan Fei’s eyes, relieving a heart that had been bumping about almost all day.

Seeing him made everything feel better.

“Can’t you tell I’m very angry?”

“Indeed! Of course, I can tell you’re very upset.” Seeing the looming storm in his eyes, Nan Fei quickly responded: “It’s precisely because I realized you were upset that I felt happy! This shows you really care about me.”

Huo Beijiang squinted his eyes slightly. The fierce and irritable demeanor that had cloaked him moments ago seemed to have been smoothed away. The corners of his mouth lifted imperceptibly, then he forced out a reluctant, “Hmph! At least you have a conscience.”

Originally, Ning Di had advised him not to come, fearing that they may be discovered and that people would find out that Jiang Nanfei was his weak spot. But he just couldn’t help it. He felt worse thinking of his ‘little wife’ being wronged than being shot himself.

So, he quietly came in the end.

“Thank you, Bei Jiang.”

She tried to hold his hand in a flattering way, but he acted coy and shook her hand off, snorted and said, “Hmph! Who are you talking about? Why are you trying to take advantage of me?”

“…” Nan Fei stared at him in astonishment, gaining a new understanding of his thick skin.

She turned around in a huff and started to walk away.

Seeing his ‘little wife’ genuinely upset, Huo Beijiang hurriedly chased after her, catching hold of Nan Fei’s wrist and lightly pulling her into his arms.

Nan Fei, unprepared, crashed into his strong chest, wincing in pain which made her eyes tear up.

This man was here to torment her.

“I’m sorry! Wife.”

His deep voice sounded in her ear. The playful and reckless demeanor from before was gone, replaced now by gravity and self-reproach. His words seemed to strike a chord in Nan Fei’s heart, making her tremble.

“I failed to protect you,” Huo Beijiang said quietly. “Let’s announce our relationship. This way, no one will dare to mistreat you anymore, and I’ll have peace of mind.”

He didn’t care about any damn enemy or attempted assassinations. He’d kill them one by one, two by two. Right now, he only cared about whether his ‘little wife’ would be wronged, hurt or sad, everything else became secondary.
