Puslin always knew that Yu Man was an incredibly strong female.
Even with what happened five years ago, Yu Man was upset for a while, but she didn’t shed a single tear!
"No! That’s not true! What I care about most has always been you and Manman! Without you two, I don’t see any purpose in living!"
Puslin held Yu Man’s hand, "I... I just wanted to stand a little taller, to shield you and Manman from the wind and rain..."
He lowered his head, his voice hoarse.
"I don’t want my wife to be troubled..."
The incident from five years ago has always been a knot in his heart.
At that time, he was still too weak and couldn’t protect his wife, needing her to set up a scheme herself.
Every time he thought about his own incompetence back then, Puslin was motivated to climb higher, at the very least, to not be so powerless when his wife was in trouble.
He thought, perhaps, the current head of the Reed family—Blanwen—harbored the same sentiments?
Originally, he believed that as a Major General, he already wielded enough power.
But the affairs of the Zor family had made him more vigilant.
Especially the secrets surrounding Manman, they made him anxious.
He wanted to protect his wife, but he had made her worry time and again...
Now, his wife was even asking if he didn’t care about her and Manman?
Puslin was genuinely flustered!
Did he really make his wife misunderstand ?
Puslin hurriedly expressed his feelings: "The ones I care about most are my wife and Manman!"
"Puslin, all I want is for you to be safe and sound." Yu Man stood up, looking down at him, "I am a female, most people wouldn’t dare to provoke me."
"Even if they did, I’m not a woman who needs to hide behind a male."
"If I truly needed protection, when Blanwen came to seek my forgiveness when he first took power, I could have remarried him then."
She understood that she had been living satisfactorily these years, partly due to Blanwen’s silent assistance from behind.
But she believed that even without Blanwen, she could carve out a path for herself, even if it meant a desperate fight...
She did not sever ties because she still had Manman, and other Beast Husbands, she wasn’t alone.
"Puslin, what Manman and I need isn’t for you to be strong, we need you."
"You don’t need to worry about me, in less than a year, I will become an SS-level Purification Master."
"Moreover, now is a critical time for Rest Pod development, not many people would want to mess with me."
To cross her would be equivalent to antagonizing countless Beastmen troubled by their Spiritual Sea, they were not that foolish.
Of course, on one hand, she was very safe, but on the other hand, she had certainly touched numerous interests, making her quite dangerous.
Puslin perhaps felt this sense of crisis.
"You said you want to protect me, but if you keep wearing yourself out each time, are you sure you can really protect me?"
To be blunt, you might burn out faster than I do.
"Puslin, if you still can’t learn to take care of your body, then you might just end up like Blanwen."
"Think it through yourself!" Yu Man turned and walked away.
"Wife!" Puslin was internally panicking!
"Wife! I was wrong! I will change for sure!"
Yu Man didn’t stop her footsteps at all, and directly went out the door.
Lastly, Yu Man leaned against the closed door, a smile gradually appearing on her lips.
She wiped away the wetness from the corners of her eyes, a hint of pride in her gaze.
Though she disliked showing her vulnerable side, since she wasn’t showing it to outsiders, softening a bit around family wasn’t bad.
The key was that Puslin was too set in his ways; he needed a deep impression, otherwise how could he remember and change?
Yu Man wasn’t stopping Puslin’s ambitions, only wanting him to remember her and Manman more when he was on missions, rather than always returning injured from each one!
After seeing Puslin, Yu Man reverted to her cold demeanor towards him, only behaving normally when Manman was around.
This made Atier somewhat nervous.
"How did you upset the wife?" Atier asked quietly.
"You better make it up to her, she’s pregnant now!"
Puslin moved his lips, "I know..."
It’s just that the wife wouldn’t give him another chance to apologize!
"After the wife attends the Guan Family banquet, you must apologize to her," Atier suggested.
Yu Man had already gone to the Guan Family’s banquet with Manman tonight, having been picked up by Guan Heng.
Puslin nodded, "I will for sure!"
By then, he must appease his wife, even if he had to humble himself like Guan Heng to earn her forgiveness. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel-fire.net
At this moment, Yu Man and Manman had arrived at the Guan Family.
As she got off the car, she saw Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi was dressed to the nines, much more beautiful compared to her last visit to the Guan Family, her entire ensemble was well-coordinated, very suitable for her.
Unlike last time, there was no discordant necklace.
Yu Man glanced at Garrett who was following behind Mu Zhi.
This person seemed to value Mu Zhi more than Elcaron, she thought.
That period, it was likely Elcaron was using Mu Zhi.
Since meeting Elcaron, Mu Zhi would always discover something during her appearances on shows, she didn’t believe Elcaron had no hand in it.
"Man," Mu Zhi smiled at Yu Man, "Old Sir Guan invited me over, you don’t mind, do you?"
Yu Man looked at her quizzically, "Why should I mind? Old Sir Guan can invite whoever he likes."
If they were invited, they were invited.
What did it have to do with her? She wasn’t part of the Guan Family.
Garrett also glanced at Mu Zhi.
He always felt that the kind Mu Zhi had a subtle attitude towards Yu Man.
Mu Zhi gave a sheepish smile, "Is that so? I haven’t seen you lately, I thought you didn’t want to see me."
"Been busy recently." Even if not busy, they weren’t close, were they? Even if they lived nearby, it wouldn’t mean seeing each other every day.
"So it’s like that, seems like I misunderstood," Mu Zhi smiled coyly.
Yu Man gave a nod and entered the Guan Family’s estate.
She really didn’t like dealing with Mu Zhi, not that she disliked her, but their personalities clashed.
Mu Zhi leisurely followed, entering together.
"Mom! Dad! Grandpa! I brought my girlfriend back!" Guan Heng cheerfully announced as he entered the villa’s lobby.
Inside, there was a strong birthday atmosphere, with both the main family and branches of the Guan gathered, it was quite lively.
Old Sir Guan chuckled, "Back, are we?"
He saw Mu Zhi behind Yu Man, "Oh, Mu Zhi, did you bring your daughter?"
He waved at Mu Zhi with a smile, "Come on, bring Yaoyao over here!"
Guan Heng opened his mouth, but said nothing.
His future wife was right in front of Grandpa, yet Grandpa called out to someone else?
In terms of closeness, Yu Man was the recognized wife, his granddaughter-in-law!
In terms of gratitude, it was Manman who first discovered the poisoning in his sister’s milk...
How could Grandpa overlook Yu Man and Manman?
