The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant

He wasn’t even dead and these cows were already getting ahead of themselves. Did they really think that he wouldn’t be able to do anything just because he was paralyzed?

Although he couldn’t pat her head, Zhan Lichuan’s words still gave Jing Qian comfort.

“Don’t worry about it. As long as I’m still alive, he won’t be able to do anything to you.”

Jing Qian was still planning on how she could further ask for protection from this man, trying to get his support in order to fight Du Yanzheng, but when Zhan Lichuan said those words, she raised her head, which was originally buried in his chest, and looked at him in surprise.

Jian Qian had always been a strong woman. She was the person whom others looked to for protection— even when she was with Du Yanzheng. When she encountered any difficulties, in order to train her, he would watch quietly by her side without offering any help. There was once where she almost died, but Du Yanzheng hadn’t helped her even at the end.

Therefore, she learnt this lesson when she was a young child: there wasn’t anyone who she could trust or depend on. She only had herself.

This was the first time in life where a man had told her, ‘As long as I’m still alive, he won’t be able to do anything to you.’

Although this was just a man who was lying on his sick bed and wasn’t able to move his finger, Jing Qian still felt that this man’s image suddenly grew big and powerful right in front of her when he said those words.

She was aware of the fact that if Du Yanzheng was just the heir of the Du family, Zhan Lichuan may be able to fight him.

But Du Yanzheng wasn’t only the heir of the Du family, one who had a military background. He was also Z from the Sanctuary, someone who was feared by all.

His identity was hidden from everyone else. Only she and a few loyal followers of Z knew about itl even his family wasn’t aware of it.

However, this man just said that he would sacrifice his life just to protect her.

Even if he may not have the abilities to fight Z, Jing Qian was still touched.

When he saw the weird look in her eyes, Zhan Lichuan asked, “What’s wrong?”

After a while, Jing Qian let go of the seductive aura, and it was as if a thousand-year-old vixen had turned into a gentle, little puppy.

With such a cute look, Zhan Lichuan’s heart began racing.

“That was the first time that someone said this to me.”

“What?”

Zhan Lichuan was lost.

He didn’t say anything.

“You said that as long as you’re still alive, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to me.”

When he found out what she was referring to, Zhan Lichuan looked at Jing Qian. He was heartbroken when he saw how touched she was.

“I am your husband, and since you are married to me, you are my wife. We have the closest relationship on earth. It is a natural thing for a husband to protect his wife. If his wife had been bullied outside and he wasn’t able to stand up for her or protect her, this person shouldn’t be considered a man.

“Forget about humans. Look at those animals. If a female lion had been bullied or challenged, do you think that the male lion would fight them? Humans are evolved animals. If we aren’t able to keep this quality, aren’t we considered less than animals?”

Jing Qian quietly stared at Zhan Lichuan, who was talking. At this moment, there was a bright ray of sunlight on his face. The warm sunlight softened the hard edges on his face, and he was now looking even brighter than the sun.

She had never thought of maintaining this marriage. From her point of view, she was only here to change his luck. As long as she completed her mission, the contract would automatically be pointless.

To her, she had never acknowledged this marriage.

But now, Jing Qian was feeling…
