"Why won't you let them hit me?" Even though Su Yixing thought Huo Qingyi's answer would surely disappoint him, he still couldn't help but hold out a bit of hope, hoping Huo Qingyi was protecting him because she liked him.
Huo Qingyi indeed disappointed him: "You're my master." She had to protect him.
"I'm also your husband!" Su Yixing immediately snapped.
"...Why are you angry again?" Huo Qingyi's voice was a bit small, and she was especially confused.
He really does get angry easily.
"I'm not angry." Su Yixing denied it. Before Huo Qingyi fell for him, he wouldn't tell her that he liked her. Naturally, he also wouldn't say why he was angry now.
He then softened his tone: "I know you're skilled, but those brothers of mine wouldn't dare to truly fight me, you really don't need to worry."
"Hmm."
Su Yixing hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Do you know that between a husband and wife, it's usually the husband who protects the wife?"
