Lu Xiao saw Ares coming downstairs and fed him a freshly cut piece of pineapple. "You two weren't whispering secrets in the room, were you?"
Ares's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly composed himself. "Admiral Clan told me his reason for wanting to introduce a main husband to you..."
Ares briefly recounted what Admiral Clan had said, but he omitted the part about his responsibility to protect Lu Xiao.
He had a gut feeling that if Lu Xiao heard it, she would tell him to ignore the Admiral's words, yet he felt that Admiral Clan wasn't wrong.
'If I can't even protect Lu Xiao, then what's the point of my existence to her?'
After hearing what Ares said, Lu Xiao blinked, a little surprised. "I didn't expect him to have such a high opinion of me."
'But Admiral Clan is thinking too highly of me. I don't have such grand ambitions.'
'I just want to live with the people I care about and do the work I enjoy. That's all.'
