Ling Xiao didn't consider himself some paragon of righteousness, but he at least had his own principles and a bottom line. "If others don't bother me, I won't bother them"—a principle he believed many people shared.
Xie Xiaoyan had tried to harm him. The fact that he hadn't killed her was already the height of magnanimity!
As for Ming Yue, though Ling Xiao doted on her, he also hoped to find some time to ask her what was really going on with the Qin Family. Letting things continue in this muddled state wouldn't be good for anyone. But right now, the most important thing was to protect her and not let her suffer the slightest harm.
Because Ming Yue was his woman!
