"I'm not good enough for her."

Lu Ming looked surprised upon hearing this answer.

Is that guy surnamed Gu out of his mind?

This was the first time he had ever seen someone who looked down on even himself.

"Gu Yao, then why are you by her side?"

Gu Yao crossed his arms, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on his arms.

"Of course, we should help her grow and then find the person who is most suitable for her."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you fucking crazy, Gu Yao?! Who do you think you are? Helping her grow? You're just a coward with the desire but not the guts!"

She's a woman raising a child alone; what she needs is a man who can support her, love her, and protect her!

“Superficial.” Gu Yao pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice, “That’s why I said you’re not good enough for her.”

“You…” Lu Ming was so angry he was panting heavily.

Gu Yao put his hand on the table: "Am I wrong? If a woman can't learn to be independent and only relies on others, how good can her end be?"

After all, any promises made about the future now are just empty words. Liao Nanxing is like that, and so are you and that comatose person.

What I'm doing is helping her learn to love and rely on herself first. After all, it's better to hold your future firmly in your own hands than to gamble it on someone else's.

Lu Ming was startled, making no attempt to hide the surprise in his eyes.

He...couldn't refute it. Because...even if he could guarantee his love wouldn't change, he couldn't guarantee he'd die after her.

At that moment, he seemed to understand why Gu Yao had called him superficial.
