Even though Su Qingyu tried her best to hide it, Shen Zhixiu could still see some worry in her smiling eyes.
He stood up and walked over to her, letting her lean on him. He placed one hand on her back and whispered, "Don't worry. Your husband has been through so many years, and many people have wanted to pull me down, but I'm still fine, right?"
Even if it really comes to that, he is prepared to protect his family.

Before going to bed, Su Qingyu suddenly thought of Li Chaoyun again. She wondered if her brother had found out what was going on with that Taoist priest.
