Yun Bixue mumbled, “Isn't Elite Tower like Luxury Emperor?

Xie Limo could not see Yun Bixue's expression, so he turned her over to see her face. “Do you really not know, or are you pretending?”

“Hm? I think it's just a little more exaggerated than Luxury Emperor.”

Xie Limo looked at Yun Bixue's clear eyes before he replied solemnly, “Luxury Emperor and Elite Tower have two completely different natures.”

“How are they different? I've heard that it's a place to discuss business agreements?”

Xie Limo knew that Yun Bixue was not pretending, so he tried to explain, “On the surface, Elite Tower is a place to discuss businesses, but the inner workings of it indulge in extravagant 'stuff.' It's different from Luxury Emperor, which doesn't allow for such things.”

Xie Limo put it in vague terms, but Yun Bixue understood his meaning. Her heart thumped. She was lucky to have only met An Yexuan and Han Mubai. Especially Han Mubai, who could be considered a gentleman.

Other than teasing her, he did not do anything.

Yun Bixue patted her chest and looked at Xie Limo comfortingly. “Limo, it's a relief that I'm fine. When I went there, I actually brought Ah Qiu and Ah Mei with me. I was also equipped with knives and medicines to protect myself.”

“Even if you can protect yourself, if you actually got injured or traumatized because of it, what am I supposed to do?”

This statement made Yun Bixue feel even more guilty. “I'm sorry for making you worry, Limo. I will be fine.”

Xie Limo sighed inwardly, and his tone turned gentle. “Xue, it's not that I want to limit your freedom. Even if I give you the freedom to do what you want, I can't stop myself from worrying. Ever since I met you, my heart has become so incredibly narrow that even I find it hard to believe.”

Yun Bixue hugged Xie Limo and buried her head in his chest. “Limo, I understand. I worry when you come home late as well. Even if I know that you will be safe, I can't help but worry.”

Xie Limo grabbed Yun Bixue's hand and placed it above his heart. He said seriously, “That's why you have to be obedient and listen to me. If you ever meet any trouble, learn to rely on me and let me help you. You are my wife, not just anyone. You are someone who has to grow old with me.”

“Okay, I will remember. You'll carry me even when I'm old.”

“As long as you understand.” Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixue's head affectionately before continuing, “Originally, I didn't want to ask, but today Han Mubai's name card fell out from your pocket.”

Hearing that, Yun Bixue immediately explained, “We met coincidentally at Elite Tower. He was signing a contract with someone. He knocked into my leg the other time, so he gave me the name card and said that if I needed help next time, I could find him. I don't think I will need it, but since he is the representative of the Han family, I thought it might be useful in the future.”

After speaking, she leaned into Xie Limo's embrace. Forgive her for not telling the entire truth, but that was pretty close to the truth.

“As long as you learn to protect yourself, it's okay.” Xie Limo had only one request for Yun Bixue—for her to stay safe.

As long as she could be happy, he did not need her to be powerful or work extremely hard.

If she protected herself well, he would be at ease. She would never know the kind of anxiety and worry he felt when his call couldn't reach her.

With a man's sixth sense, Xie Limo could sense that this Han Mubai might have other feelings for his wife, but that was only a guess that he couldn't confirm.
