Chapter 71

''That is why I decided to just let them go, Yifeng didn't agree with me, so the two of us came to a deadlock that if they do anything to harm me then, Yifeng will deal with them in his own way.''

On hearing that, Yang agreed by nodding her head to her as he secretly thought to himself.

'Well, I hope that they do not try anything for I don't know about Yifeng but I sure as hell would not let them go unscathed if they try to hurt Shi.'

After threatening them in his mind, Yang looked at Shi once again as he urged her to continue.

"Continue Shi, I want to to know everything about you.''

On hearing Yang, Shi took a deep breath as she continued,

"Everyone at the Li family was very good to me, and they all welcomed me warmly into their family.

I was never treated their badly, even when grandpa and grandma showed me obvious favoritism instead of my brothers who in actuality carried the blood of the Li family.

First uncle, first aunt, second uncle and second aunt to looked after me warmly as if I was their own daughter.

But it was me,

I was the weak one.

I was still unable to move on from the accident, I thought that....that I had no right to be happy when I had caused my own mother's death,

I was still unable to trust anyone, well more like I thought that everyone was out there to hurt and harm me.

You see Yang, after knowing that my own father whose blood I had inherited was out there to kill me, I lost all trust in others.

I looked at everyone with suspicion in my heart, telling myself not to believe them and that the kindness and love they showed me was fake.

I locked myself in the room at the Li mansion, refusing to meet anyone. I was even scared to eat the food they cooked thinking that it had poison in it and so grandpa would always get any one of my brothers to bring the food to my room, and then the person who brought the food will have to take a bite in front of me and after that only would I eat it.

Haha... thinking back to it I think it was stupid of me to do that, but at that point of time I thought that was very right. For they could just poison my spoon right? Is that even possible? Geez, now I think that I should start washing my spoon myself.''

Yang, who was listening to her, failed to laugh at her joke in an attempt to lighten the situation. Giving her a look, he silently told her to continue with his eyes.

'Haish'

Shi silently chuckled to herself, she knew that joking might not be appropriate at the moment but she really had no other alternative after seeing his face, which looked like he was about to murder someone.

So she could do nothing except for continuing from where she left,

"At night, I used to put a fork under my pillow, as a weapon, but even then, I was unable to escape the nightmares.

These things continued for around three months, after which grandma agreed to grandpa's wish to consult a psychiatrist for me.''

At this point, tears flowed freely out of her eyes as Shi cried her heart out, she cried out all the sadness she held inside her heart.

Despite putting a strong front just a few moments ago in order to appease Yang, the second she thought back to her past and about how insecure she felt, she couldn't help but shiver.

Meanwhile, Yang slowly patted her hair with occasional kisses at the top of her head.

As he secretly cursed all those who were responsible for her plight in his heart.

Through her sobs, she tried to tell him her story, hoping that he would not shun her like others when he comes to know how broken she was.

'Haha'

Shi silently laughed to herself. Till now she had never given a single thought to what others thought about herself she couldn't care any less if they believed that she was damaged.

But

With Yang, something deep inside her hoped, hoped that she was not broken, that she could trust people, that she could sleep peacefully without waking up in the middle of the night drenched with sweat, yelling her lungs out from the horrifying images she saw in her dream.

She hoped that she was perfect, as perfect as her partner so that she could compliment him and not bring him down due to her own insecurities.
