As Liu Chen drives Miyuki home, a smile on his face after strengthening their relationship, in the luxurious living room of the Liu family house in Beijing, China, Liu Liyu and Liu Yuexin are engaged in a serious and pressing conversation. The atmosphere is tense, and the two women are deeply concerned about the current state of their family. Over the past three months, they have lost a significant amount of reputation and wealth due to the issues that always seem to surround Xio Tian, the protagonist who has received the family's support.
Liu Liyu cannot hide her frustration and dares to express her fears. "Mother, can't you see what's happening? Our family is falling into disgrace, and it's all because of Xio Tian. We've lost millions of yuan, our reputation has been tarnished, and while we support a stranger, you're meanwhile abandoning your own son, my brother, Liu Chen. How can you continue to support him after all the trouble he's caused?"
Liu Yuexin feels trapped in the dilemma of supporting the protagonist, even when his actions are severely harming the family. She sighs and responds with a mixture of sadness and confusion: "Liyu, understand that Xia Tian saved me. If we don't support him, who will? Besides, he has always had an incredible talent for solving problems. He just needs a little more time."
Liu Liyu stands up, unable to grasp her mother's logic. "Mother, time is running out! We can't let our family's reputation fall further. If this continues, we'll go from being one of the top families in Beijing to being considered second-rate."
Liu Yuexin's face reflects her distress. She knows that her daughter's words are true, but her indebtedness to Xia Tian makes her resistant to changing her mind. "I know, Liyu, I know. But it's hard for me to see my benefactor suffer. If we don't support him, who else will?"
The discussion continues as Liu Liyu tries to persuade her mother to take action to separate the family from Xia Tian and his problems. The conversation becomes increasingly emotional, with both women fighting for what they believe is best for their family. Meanwhile, uncertainty and worry fill the air in the Liu house.
The discussion in the Liu family's living room continues, but this time, Liu Liyu, the family's eldest daughter, is not willing to let her mother, Liu Yuexin, evade her responsibilities. With an angry face, Liu Liyu accuses her mother with words that weigh like lead.
"Mother, I can't believe you're doing this. You've abandoned your own son, Liu Chen, while holding onto a complete stranger, Xia Tian, as if he were your own flesh and blood. What kind of mother are you?"
Tears fill Liu Yuexin's eyes as she tries to maintain her composure. "Liyu, understand it. Xia Tian is special. He has a unique gift that can change his fate and that of our family."
Liu Liyu is on the brink of despair. "Mother, how can you be so naive? You've spent so much effort and resources on Xia Tian, while Liu Chen, your own son, barely receives your attention. Do you really believe Xia Tian deserves more than him? Does Liu Chen mean so little to you?"
The weight of Liu Liyu's words sinks into Liu Yuexin's heart. She feels trapped in an emotional dilemma that she can't resolve. Tears roll down her cheeks as her daughter continues to launch accusations.
"You've been a bad mother, Mom. No matter how much money we spend or how much reputation we lose, nothing justifies you abandoning your own son. I don't understand how you can show so much affection to Xia Tian while treating Liu Chen and me like strangers."
Silence fills the living room after Liu Liyu's shocking words. The mother and daughter face each other in a heart-wrenching confrontation, with Liu Yuexin unable to respond to her daughter's accusations. As tears continue to flow, Liu Yuexin realizes the depth of her mistake and the wound she has inflicted on her own family. Her daughter's words haunt her as she grapples with the tumultuous reality of her choices.
Liu Liyu, furious and with her heart still burning from the recent argument with her mother, left the living room with accumulated pain in her chest. The words they had exchanged had left open wounds, and Liu Liyu was determined to find a solution for her family, even if it meant confronting Xia Tian and his disastrous influence.
As she walked away from the living room, her mother, Liu Yuexin, tried to stop her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she watched her daughter walk away with determination. Guilt paralyzed her, and she felt torn between her love for her two children, Liu Liyu and Liu Chen, and the guilt that tormented her due to her unwavering support for Xia Tian.
Liu Liyu arrived in her room and fell onto her bed. The weight of the responsibility for her family's well-being weighed on her shoulders. She closed her eyes and tried to think of a strategy to help her family overcome the crisis they were facing. But no matter how hard she tried to focus on finding a solution, Xia Tian's figure stood in the way of every idea, clouding her mind and filling her with anger.
When she got up from the bed, her eyes landed on a photograph on the nightstand. The picture showed Liu Liyu and Liu Chen when they were children. Both had broad smiles on their faces, and their arms were entwined in an affectionate hug. Nostalgia overwhelmed her as she looked at the photograph.
She remembered the days when she and Liu Chen were inseparable, when they played together, protected each other, and shared laughter. Childhood had been a time of joy and camaraderie, a time when the Liu family was united and happy. Now, she didn't know where her brother was or what he might be doing, and the uncertainty broke her heart.
Tears began to blur her eyes as she thought about how her mother, Liu Yuexin, had favored Xia Tian over them. Did she never realize how much pain she had caused her own children? How could she favor a stranger at the expense of her own flesh and blood? A sense of betrayal engulfed her, and her anger grew.
Liu Liyu longed to return to the days when she and Liu Chen were a united family. She wished her brother was safe and wanted to come back home. Nostalgia and longing filled her chest, and a deep sadness enveloped her.
In the solitude of her room, Liu Liyu made a promise to herself. She was determined to do everything in her power to find Liu Chen and bring him back home. She wouldn't allow her family to sink further into despair and sadness. With determination in her gaze, she began to outline a plan to search for her brother, no matter the obstacles she had to overcome.
Liu Liyu was determined to reunite her family and face the chaos Xia Tian had brought into their lives.
The soft glow of the moon filtered through the silk curtains, illuminating the dimly lit room where Liu Chen lay on his spacious bed. The clock on the nightstand read midnight, but the young maestro couldn't find sleep. His thoughts haunted him like ghosts in the darkness.
He had spent an unforgettable day with Miyuki, a day where they had shared laughter, knowing glances, and moments of profound connection. The smile on Miyuki's face had become his most precious possession, and her presence in his life was a blessing he feared losing.
However, amidst that bliss, a shadow loomed over him. An internal struggle he had tried to ignore since his first encounter with Miyuki. Should he give in to his possessive nature and claim her as his, or should he be a flatterer, appeasing her and risking her walking away? In his mind, these two facets of his personality clashed against each other.
Liu Chen knew that in his past life, he had been a flatterer, someone who only pleased others. He had lost Miyuki, and he was not willing to let that happen again. But he also understood the dangers of his possessiveness. He knew that, left unchecked, it could suffocate the person he loved. It was a painful crossroads.
With a sigh, Liu Chen decided to confront the truth of his heart. Miyuki's words had touched a raw nerve in his being, and he could no longer hide his desire to have her by his side. He couldn't bear the thought of sharing her with anyone else.
"Maybe it's selfish," he murmured to himself. "But, Miyuki... I want you to be mine alone."
As his thoughts took shape, a sense of liberation came over him. He knew that possessiveness was a complex emotion, but he couldn't deny it. He had been fighting against himself instead of accepting his true nature.
The fear was still there, like a weight on his chest. He was afraid that his possessiveness might scare Miyuki, that she might consider him too controlling or jealous. However, he knew he couldn't keep these feelings hidden. He had to be honest with himself and with her. If their love was strong enough, they could overcome any challenge together.
The internal struggle wasn't over yet, but Liu Chen had made a decision. Possessiveness had taken hold of him, and he couldn't help it. He just hoped that by revealing his heart to Miyuki, she could understand and accept it. With that hope, he finally closed his eyes and drifted into a restless sleep, longing for the new day ahead.
