When Lin Chujiu spoke at the end, she was almost shouting, but… she was hungry and had no strength. So even if she shouted, her momentum was weaker by three points.

However, the tears on Lin Chujiu’s face showed her grievance and fear.

Xiao Tianyao stretched out his hand and clumsily wiped the tears from Lin Chujiu’s face. Without thinking, he said: “Lin Chujiu, you are not an ordinary woman. You are benwang’s wife. Benwang believes in you, benwang believes you can do it.”

This was the answer in his heart. It was one of the reasons why he made such a decision in the first place. He knew very well that Lin Chujiu was not an ordinary woman. She had the ability to deal with all emergencies.

And Lin Chujiu did it, didn’t she?

“Believe me? What do you believe in me? Who and what gave you the illusion that I am strong?” In ancient times, there were righteous people who died for their confidants, but she, Lin Chujiu, was not a righteous person. She wouldn’t be silly to go through the fire and sea just because someone said “I believe in you”, and lose her life for that person.

“Wangye, I’m just a woman. Like other women, I am timid and afraid of things. Can you not leave me alone to face danger every time? Can you not leave me alone every time something happens? Facing those people who want to kill me, do you know how hurt I am?” With just a few words, Lin Chujiu couldn’t hold back the grievances of the previous life and this life and cried bitterly.

She has been alone since she was a child. No matter what she encounters, she has to face and deal with it alone. Everyone thinks that she can live well by herself, she can handle everything, but who knows she will be afraid too?

“You’re not timid or afraid. You are the toughest woman benwang has ever seen.” Xiao Tianyao didn’t know how to comfort Lin Chujiu. Seeing Lin Chujiu crying sadly, he only put his hand on her shoulder and silently told Lin Chujiu that he was still there.

However, Lin Chujiu slapped his hand away rudely: “Wangye, for your information, no woman is willing to be tough, and no woman is willing to face danger by herself. There is no one who protects me, I…have to… face it all alone.” She was never a strong person, she was forced to be strong.

“You have benwang.” What went wrong and made Lin Chujiu think she had no one to protect her?

Didn’t he protect Lin Chujiu all the time?

“You? Where were you when Xuanyuan Zhi brought the black-armored guards here? When Xuanyuan Zhi forced me to eat those poisonous meals, where were you?” She said with full of resentment and hatred… …

When she needed Xiao Tianyao’s trust, Xiao Tianyao didn’t believe her and sent her to prison.

When she needed Xiao Tianyao’s protection, Xiao Tianyao went somewhere else, and let her face all the dangers alone.

When she needed Xiao Tianyao’s care, Xiao Tianyao went out to handle official duties and let her face the pain alone.

Xiao Tianyao said she have him, but when she needed Xiao Tianyao, where was Xiao Tianyao?

“Benwang has gone to handle affairs.” Xiao Tianyao said dryly.

He didn’t think he was wrong, but in the face of Lin Chujiu’s accusations and tears, he couldn’t confidently say that he was not wrong!

“So, you had no choice but to leave me, right?” Lin Chujiu smiled sadly, with an indescribable bitterness and grief in the smile.

She knew it would be like this.

Anyway, in the end, Xiao Tianyao had a reason. Even if it wasn’t her fault, it would also never be Xiao Tianyao’s fault.

“No, benwang…” Xiao Tianyao wanted to explain, but seeing Lin Chujiu’s sad eyes, he swallowed the explanation.

He thought that Lin Chujiu doesn’t want to hear his explanation.

But, aside from explaining, what else can he say?

Xiao Tianyao looked at Lin Chujiu with frowned eyebrows.

Coaxing a woman was the hardest thing in the world. What should he do to make Lin Chujiu happy?
