Li Yan worried that Gu Tong was surrounded by danger in Shoucheng, and Gu Tong was concerned about Li Yan's task overload and excessive fatigue, especially since she was pregnant, making his burden even heavier.
Gu Tong said calmly, "You don't have to overthink. Actually, sometimes when we're together as a couple, many problems can be easily solved, so there's no need to worry about indebtedness."
Gu Tong understood Li Yan's thoughts all too well. They were now within Shoucheng—a very critical moment in such a harsh environment. She was pregnant.
The child's future, even their life, could face many dangers. Anything could pose a threat, and that's why Li Yan was even more worried.
He feared he wouldn't be able to take good care of his child or even protect them.
Everything stems from their mutual concerns, with numerous worries accumulated together—leading to that one statement of apology.
