As Lu Xize was thinking this over, Chu Yao raised her head again. "Nope, not that either. That's still a form of dependence."
Chu Yao's blunt refusal made Lu Xize's brow furrow once more.
'Does she really not want to rely on me at all?'
'This isn't a good sign, especially for a married couple. In my eyes, this is just her way of drawing a line between us. Aren't things going well for us now? Why does she still need to do this?'
Just as Lu Xize was about to speak, Chu Yao beat him to the punch. "I'm not that easy to push around, and I can fight my own battles. If there's ever anything I really need your help with, I'll come find you, okay? Instead of worrying about all that, why don't you think about what delicious things you're going to make for me tomorrow?"
