Unexpectedly, Erya interrupted Wu Liangchen with great resolve. She looked at him, her face full of sincerity, and spoke with the utmost seriousness.
"Brother Xiaowu, you're a great man who stands tall between heaven and earth. Of course you have your own important business to attend to. I'm your woman, so you don't need to discuss anything you want to do with me. Just go and do it boldly. I'll be here at home waiting for you to come back."
Hearing her words, Wu Liangchen was stunned for a moment. Then, he reached out, ruffled the young woman's hair, and smiled.
"What a... silly girl."

She had just never said it out loud.
But that was precisely why it made his heart ache for her all the more.
