Qiao Nian was still in a daze as she leaned against his firm shoulder. She had thought he wanted to clarify things and lecture her.
Now she realized he just wanted her to have something to lean on.
"You…" She was not used to relying on others.
Qiao Nian tried to move when a large hand pressed down on her head to stop her from moving. "I know you're tired. Sleep. We'll talk when you wake up!"
Ye Wangchuan felt the struggling head on his shoulder pause for a moment and then gradually relax.
Then, he unhurriedly continued, "There are too many people you want to protect, but no one is more important to me than you.
"If anything happens to you in your quest to find an antidote for Ji Lingfeng, I won't let him off."
—No one is more important to me than you!
Qiao Nian's tense nerves were completely relaxed at this moment. The corners of her lips curled up, but she did not move. She quietly leaned on his shoulder and licked her lips, then said softly, "Actually… it hurts a little."
