When Li Xing heard this, he fell into deep thought. Was there really something wrong with what he did? But...didn't he say that his wife liked it this way?
Is it my failure that I think they are worse off after marriage than before?
"I'm going to support her."
“You cannot go. You have more important things to do, and you should also give her some trust. She has never failed, and you should believe in her. Whether as a monarch or as a husband, you should trust your wife’s abilities.”
“I don’t distrust her!” Li Xing’s beautiful eyes were serious as she answered, “I’m just worried about her.”
He knew all of this; he knew she was very capable and he admired and acknowledged her abilities. But she was too important to him, so important that he didn't want anything to happen to her.
“But you can’t do this. You have your own things to do, and she has hers to do. You can’t always go to the battlefield with her. I know you love her, but you can’t always be by her side.” It was rare to see her son lose his composure, but… the Queen didn’t think it was a good thing.
The Queen waved her hand, indicating that he could leave. As for how her son would ultimately decide, that was up to him.
…
Wan Ge had been on the move for a week, and the battle reports were updated every day, with good news coming in one after another. Until one day, when no information was received even at night, Li Xing began to get a little anxious.
Just as he was preparing to go and find Wan Ge, news came that Wan Ge was seriously injured and lying in the hospital.
…
Li Xing stood by the hospital bed, looking at the pale-faced person. A girl who looked to be just over eighteen years old stood beside him with red eyes.
Li Xing inquired about the details with the doctor. Wan Ge's injuries were quite severe, but fortunately, no vital organs were damaged. With proper treatment for a period of time, recovery is only a matter of time.
When Li Xing was applying medicine to the patient, her eyes instantly welled up with tears as she looked at the scars on the patient's back.
Modified humans without superpowers have had many organs, skin, or limbs modified. These people are not actually that afraid of pain because many of the modifications are not entirely their own, so they don't feel much pain.
But it's different for people with superpowers. The reason why people with superpowers can live as long as cyborgs is because they have superpowers. But most of the time they are still made of flesh and blood. Once they are injured, they feel the same pain as normal people.
Both Wan Ge and he are people with very high and strong supernatural talents. They are definitely supernatural beings. Li Xing doesn't even dare to imagine how much pain she is in.
After applying the medicine, looking at Wan Ge who was still fast asleep and unconscious, Li Xing clenched his fist tightly at her side.
…
…
When Wan Ge woke up, Li Xing wasn't beside her, but a beautiful girl—the same girl who had been with her from the beginning.
Seeing her wake up, the girl smiled through her tears: "My lord, you're finally awake."
"Why are you all crying? I'm fine, don't cry."
"It's all my fault. If you hadn't been protecting me, you wouldn't have gotten hurt, sir."
"As your superior, it is my duty to protect you. Besides, if it weren't for me, you would have had someone else protecting you."
The girl in front of her was her subordinate, and her brother used to be her subordinate as well.
Her brother had also fought alongside the original owner, killing countless enemies. However, during one battle, her brother injured his head while saving the original owner. Everything else could be healed quickly, but her head was the only thing that couldn't be healed.
