“However, you’re so strong on your own that every time we want to help you, there isn’t much for us to do. Nuannuan, we love you very much, but we don’t know how we can show it. We can’t do much to help in terms of military power, influence, or economic strength, because what you’ve achieved in just these past few years is already more amazing than all of the Nangong family’s achievements combined.

“You are the little princess that we went through so much trouble to find. We have already made up our minds to dote on you, love you, and make up for what we owed you in the past. However, it was only when you revealed your skills little by little did we realize that you had no use for us. Nuannuan, how do you suggest we dote on you?”

Nangong Jin’s words were heavy. This was a problem that everyone in the Nangong family was struggling with.

Nuannuan could do very well on her own. She didn’t need them at all. She made them feel like they had the power, but they could not use it.

Chi Yang, who was standing by their side and heard this, felt a little better.

It seemed that he was not the only one who was frustrated because of Nuannuan’s strength. Everyone in the Nangong family also felt the same.

Nuannuan glanced at her uncle and brother, who were in low spirits, and felt like her head was growing a little bit bigger.

Yesterday, she had begged Big Brother Chi Yang to fight her three times before she managed to convince him.

This early morning, her Eldest Uncle and Eldest Brother had come to talk to her on behalf of everyone in the Nangong family.

For the first time, Nuannuan felt that perhaps women should not be so strong and independent.

“Eldest Uncle, Eldest Brother, don’t be like this!”

Nuannuan did not even want to run anymore. She stopped and looked at her family members who were in a very low mood.

She had always been good at scolding people, but she did not know how to comfort them. Looking at her uncle and brother in this state, she really felt her heart ache.

“I’m the daughter of the Nangong family. It’s because of the Nangong family that I have my special abilities. These abilities helped me establish my own business empire when I was just 12 years old. All of this was brought to me by the Nangong family. We may not have lived together in the past, but ever since I found you guys, I’ve treated you all as my closest family. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Selina and the others. If I didn’t treat you guys like family, I definitely wouldn’t be able to live freely in the Nangong family. Take the Zhong family as an example. Even though Zhong Kuijun is my father, if he were to get angry and betray me I would not show any mercy. I… I…”

Nuannuan was at a loss for words.

Chi Yang walked forward and said to his first uncle and brother-in-law, “First Uncle, Big Brother, actually, yesterday, I was also angry at Nuannuan because she didn’t listen to me. I instructed her to return to the Chi family residence, but instead, she came to the military hospital alone. I felt the same as you. However, Nuannuan was strong enough to handle everything. She stands at the peak of the military power and economic ladder. Despite everything that has happened in Nuannuan’s life, she can always rely on herself to push through. She doesn’t need a fiancé like me. She doesn’t need anyone.

After his long talk with Nuannuan yesterday, he finally understood. The love between men and women is common and mutual. Had the country not always advocated equality between men and women? It was right for men to dote on women, and it was also right for women to dote on men. It was right for men to protect women, and if women were capable, it was also right for women to protect men. This also applied to families.
