He didn't want to cause himself unnecessary trouble.
But Shen Jingyan felt that husband and wife should be on the same side. She couldn't just enjoy Gu Zhiyun's love without sharing his worries.
That kind of love is unequal.
Therefore, she must help Gu Zhiyun to permanently resolve this heavy burden.
"We've both tutored Gu Qing, and you must have noticed that she's far from being as smart as her mother says. Her aptitude is quite average, and her attitude towards learning is rather careless.

For the first time in his life, he felt that all his erudition had been rendered useless, and that he was now no different from an idiot.
Looking at his silly expression, Shen Jingyan sighed and said, "Brother Yun, it seems you're only suited for scientific research; you're not good at handling interpersonal relationships!"
