Zhanli River wasn't dead yet, but all those bad people were coming one after another. Did they really think that he couldn't do anything just because he was paralyzed?
Although he couldn't pat her head, Zhanli River's words inexplicably gave Jing Qian the greatest comfort.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, he can't do anything to you."
Jing Qian had originally been acting coquettishly and asking for protection in an attempt to find a strong backer for herself. Then, she would deny everything to Du Yancheng. But Zhanli River's words made her raise her head slightly from his shoulder and look at him in surprise.
She was very strong, and it had always been others who sought her protection. Even when she was with Du Yancheng, he would always watch from the side in order to train her when she was in trouble. There was even one time when she almost died, but Du Yancheng didn't help her until the very end.
Therefore, she understood one thing from a young age. She could only rely on herself in this world.
For the first time in her life, a man had told her, "As long as I'm alive, he can't do anything to you."
Although this was a man who was lying on the bed and couldn't even move his fingers, Jing Qian felt that his image in her eyes had suddenly become bigger because of these words.
Of course, she knew very well that if Du Yancheng was only the heir of the Du family, perhaps Zhanli River would be able to compete with him.
But Du Yancheng wasn't only the heir of the Du family with a military background, he was also Z of the Sanctuary that all the international bigwigs were extremely afraid of.
His identity was only known to her and Z's loyal followers. Even his family didn't know.
But now, this man had said that he would risk his life to protect her.
Regardless of whether he had the ability to fight against Z, Jing Qian was at least touched.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Jing Qian's strange expression, Zhanli River asked with concern.
At this moment, Jing Qian had shed his demonic aura, as if a thousand-year-old fox demon had suddenly turned into a docile dog.
That docile look made Zhanli River's heart itch.
"This is the first time someone has said something like that to me."
"What words?"
Zhanli River was at a loss.
He didn't say anything.
"You said that as long as you don't die, he can't do anything to me."
So it was this sentence. Zhanli River looked at Jing Qian. Seeing how touched she was, his heart ached a little.
"I'm your husband. Since you've married me, you're my wife. Husband and wife were the most intimate people in the world. It was natural for the husband to protect the wife. If a man couldn't even stand up for his wife when she was wronged outside and become her pillar of support, then this man wasn't a man at all.
Let's not talk about anything else. Look at the animal world. If a lioness is bullied and provoked, will the male lion fight with the other lions? Humans are evolved animals. If they can't even retain their instincts, then wouldn't they be worse than beasts? "
Jing Qian looked at Zhanli River, who was speaking quietly. At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, making him glow faintly. He, who had lost his sharp edges, looked even more gentle and dazzling than the sun at this moment.
She had never thought of keeping this marriage going. In her opinion, it was just a matter of trying to ward off bad luck. If she succeeded, then the contract would automatically become invalid.
To her, this marriage was something she had never acknowledged.
But at this moment, Jing Qian felt …
