Chapter 1735 - A Man and A Woman Protect Each Other

“No matter how powerful I am, I would still have been no match for the missile that exploded just in front of me. Big Brother Chi Yang, you are different. Your martial prowess undoubtedly trumps mine. To be honest, ever since I got with you, I haven’t had to be afraid of anything—not even of the sky falling.”

Chi Yang, “…” Was this a joke? One could even reference the sky falling to coax a man to one’s side?

However, her words somehow got through to him.

Was he not a little too easily convinced?

“Big Brother Chi Yang, why must it always be the man protecting the woman in a relationship?” Nuannuan tilted her head and looked at Chi Yang curiously. She asked, “Aren’t you happy when I protect you? Aren’t you touched? Aren’t you excited?”

Chi Yang, “…”

“I remember that time back in Mustapha. You were still so at ease even though your comrades were surrounded by so many of the opposition’s troops. Many of them were already injured. If you had continued to fight the same way, it would definitely have ended in death for all of you. The moment you realized that someone was helping you, and you raised your head to see that it was me, weren’t you excited? Weren’t you shocked and happy? Didn’t you feel a thrill?”

Even now, as Chi Yang recalled that moment, it still made him smile in disbelief. That scene had long been imprinted in his mind—he would remember it for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Chi Yang was not answering, Nuannuan stretched out her leg and lightly poked his calf twice. She asked in a delicate voice, “Did you?”

“Yes!”

Chi Yang was so caught up in the moment that he could not think straight. He answered instinctively.

“That’s right. Actually, when I protected you, when I became an angel and walked across rainbow clouds to save you, you were also very happy. If it makes you happy, why are you so bothered about who protected who? Since you’re happy, why does it matter?”

Chi Yang, “…”

“Also, it’s not that I don’t trust you. Your martial arts skills are better than mine and can rival Feng Shengxuan’s. You also have top-tier special combat soldiers in your Eagle Special Forces who are comparable to Selina, Aiden, and Dan Qi. Especially that Huang Zichu—I know that he’s a super hacker. Therefore, you can do everything that I can do. In fact, given that you have a combat team, you can do everything better than me! How come you always feel like I don’t believe in your capabilities?

“I just feel sorry for you. I want to be with you when things happen to help reduce the pressure you face. If I can help you, I’ll be very happy. This is why I always want to be able to help you.

“But… if the things I do make you unhappy, I could also become the kind of woman who follows your lead. You are the most important person in my life, Big Brother Chi Yang. If you’re happy, I’m happy.”

Almost as soon as Nuannuan finished speaking, Chi Yang kissed her again.

He was narrow-minded.

He always believed that women should be pampered and protected by men, and his woman even more so.

He could not see things from a different perspective.

He wanted to protect her, and she too wanted to protect him.

Her love for him was no less than his love for her.

Therefore, when something happened, as someone equally capable, the first thing he would think to do is to make sure she was safe.

Nuannuan had received a western-style education since she was young. To her more open mindset, there was no such idea that a man should always care for and protect his woman.
