After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 748 - 738: Qin Zhan’s Past

"Later, after the Qin Family settled down, the Qin Family... I joined the army, and later... some things happened. When I was leading my team on a mission, there was a leak, ultimately resulting in the entire team being wiped out, except for me and Old Eight."

"Wei Ming?!"

"Yes, Old Eight... barely made it back alive, and I... was severely injured. After returning, I left the army, took over the Qin Family, and started building my own power."

Bi Xia knew that although Qin Zhan spoke lightly about it, it was obvious that the later events were much harder for him to accept than the earlier ones.

She thought, it must have been an incredibly painful experience, so even Qin Zhan was unwilling to go into detail... the entire team being wiped out... only two survivors in the end... 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Back then, even in the military training space, she couldn’t bear it if one team member got hurt, let alone what Qin Zhan experienced with his entire team being wiped out...

Turning over and hugging Qin Zhan, her little hand gently patted his back, and she softly said, "It’s okay now, it’s all in the past. A Zhan, don’t be sad."

Listening to Bi Xia’s words, Qin Zhan suddenly laughed. He lifted Bi Xia’s chin, "Madam comforts her husband, and her husband is very gratified, but what’s with this tone as if coaxing Bi Xiaoyuan, hmm?"

Bi Xia gave a cunning smile, pretending to be heartbroken, "Doesn’t A Zhan want his sister’s comfort? I can only reluctantly be the good sister to my bad-tempered brother."

"My temper is bad?" Qin Zhan half-squinted his phoenix eyes, then finally laughed, "All my good temper is given to you, you little rascal!"

"Moreover..." Qin Zhan brought his lips close to Bi Xia’s ear and whispered, "Compared to an understanding sister, what I want more right now is a wife named Bi Xia."

Bi Xia blushed and gave Qin Zhan a punch, "You unfilial brother!"

Laughing, Qin Zhan held Bi Xia in his arms, looking at the starry sky. His phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and his arms around Bi Xia tightened a bit.

He was willing to endure all the darkness, all the suffering, just so the people he cherished would never leave him...

Holding Qin Zhan’s arm in return, Bi Xia rested her head in Qin Zhan’s embrace, her starry eyes slightly closed, Qin Qing, don’t worry, I will protect Qin Zhan just like you did. But the difference is, I will be with him as we break through those dark times together...

Thank you, Sister Qing, for saving Qin Zhan...

Gently leaning in Qin Zhan’s embrace, looking at the starry sky, Bi Xia was a little dazed. She... had never felt this way before, feeling safe, dependent... These emotions had never appeared in her two lifetimes.

She suddenly thought, many people believe that women should be weaker than men, should stay behind men. But... there must be prerequisites for this, right?

If a man can truly give a woman a sense of security and trust, which woman wouldn’t want that?

It’s not that women are cowardly or incompetent, but deep inside every woman there is an unavoidable fragility and a longing for someone to rely on. Conversely, if there is none of that, a woman can only make herself stronger, to protect herself and those around her.

And men, isn’t it the same? As strong as Qin Zhan is, if she hadn’t asked today, who would know about those untouchable scars buried deep in his heart?

Everything happens for a reason, whether for women or men, everyone has their own vulnerabilities. But for themselves and for their loved ones, they will rise and fight, ensuring that any potential dangers stand no chance.

"Fourth Brother..."

"I’m here..."

"I will always be by your side."

"...I love you, Jiu."
