Chapter 110, the beginning.

Her diary contained her girlish thoughts.

From junior high school to the end of university.

The young master of the Li family has always been the focus of attention on campus. He is good-looking, from a good family, has good grades, and is popular... he is good at everything.

He always comes in groups of people.

Jing Ge would watch him effortlessly and stylishly perform air stepping on the horizontal bar with one hand, drawing screams and cheers from the audience.

Her heart started pounding too.

Li Zhan tossed her the prize he had won casually, looking a bit arrogant and mischievous.

Jingge fell into the snow cave, and Li Zhan jumped down, letting her step on him to get up, and then went to call the adults.

That was Jing Ge's entire teenage years.

She has experienced joy, excitement, tears, and despair.

She wrote down her longing to marry him, pasted a photo she had secretly taken on the title page, smiled foolishly at the photo, and shed tears looking at that photo.

She wrote at the beginning of her diary—

I'm not good enough for you. I beg Aladdin's lamp to grant me power so I won't be easily defeated.

She wrote on the last page—

never mind.

Two short words ended all her fantasies.

Forget it.

Let's not make things difficult for each other.

The engagement was still in effect at that time, but Jingge did not continue it.

Jingge tore up her diary without hesitation that day; she tore it into tiny pieces, not only severing her past but also moving towards her new future.

But that bastard Li Zhan actually picked up her diary and glued it back on.

Jingge didn't have a knife, otherwise she could have cut his head off on the spot.

Just as decisively as Wang Changzhong cutting off his stepmother's hair.

She truly intended to kill him.

"You like me," Li Zhan persisted, as if possessed, "You like me, right?"

Jing Ge took a deep breath: "It used to be."

She asked, "And then, do you regret it now?"

Li Zhan's eyes were red: "I regret it, I regret it..."

“It’s good that you regret it,” Jing Ge nodded. “Your aunt is so amazing that she can even win over your uncle. It’s normal for you to regret it, but if you regret it, go away and regret it. Don’t bring bad luck to me.”

Li Zhan murmured, "It was my fault, it was my fault. Don't stay with him, let's go, I'll take you away..."

Jing Ge slapped him across the head.

They fanned his hair so it covered his eyes, making it a messy, disheveled mess.

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, Jingge pried open the car door and jumped out. Afraid that he would chase after her, Jingge fled in a panic, even losing a shoe in the process.

When she arrived at the hospital entrance, Jingge saw a man running towards her.

Her man.

Jingge felt a lump in her throat, limped into his arms, and burst into tears like a child.

Li Mushi supported her waist with his arms, lifting her off the ground, and coldly ordered, "Take Li Zhan back with me!"

This was the first time he had ever gotten so angry.

Ah Long and Ah Hu were terrified, and they forcefully dragged Li Zhan to the official residence.

Jing Ge lost one of her shoes, and Li Mushi offered to help her put it back on, but she stubbornly refused, preferring to go barefoot rather than put it on.

The man had no choice but to hold her the whole time, keeping her feet off the ground.

Upon arriving at the official residence, Li Mushi placed her on the sofa, knelt down on one knee, took off her dusty socks, and touched her feet with his palm, finding them cold. He couldn't help but furrow his brow.

"Kneel down," he said impatiently.

Li Zhan's eyes were bloodshot, and his dazed state turned into disbelief.

Ah Long and Ah Hu quickly kicked his knees, forcing him to kneel down.

Jing Ge's cold feet were grasped by the man and tucked into his arms.

The huge living room was completely silent.

The official residence is quite different from before, with brightly colored furniture and decorations, plush pillows and dolls scattered everywhere, and hair clips and hair ties that girls like... everywhere you look.

It dispelled the previous chill and coldness of the room, and brought a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Li Zhan's expression was arrogant: "Uncle, have you been eyeing her for a while now?"

Li Mushi didn't even turn his head: "Slap your face."

Ah Long and Ah Hu looked at each other, thinking they had misheard.

After a half-second silence, Ah Long said cautiously, "I'm sorry, young master."

After saying that, she slapped him across the mouth.

Li Zhan swallowed his pained cry and tried to struggle to get up, but was pressed back down by A Long.

Jing Ge was furious, and his emotions spread wildly, gradually extending from his disgust for Li Zhan to his disgust for all men in the world.

Including the man who was warming her feet.

He had once driven her away, forbidding her from coming to the official residence.

Jingge, his temper flaring, disregarded everything and kicked out without warning: "Who wants to stay here!"

Li Mushi held her ankles tightly and tucked her into his arms: "You haven't warmed them up yet."

Jingge's eyes were red.

Li Mushi glanced to the side and said in a deep voice, "Kneel properly, and we'll talk after your aunt calms down."

"Isn't that right!" Li Zhan roared, "Do you dare swear an oath?"

Li Mushi wrapped Jingge's feet in a thick, soft blanket.

He then stood up, walked up to him, and cast a shadow over his head, bringing a sense of oppression: "Don't blame others. Swallow any angry words you have, lest you embarrass the entire Li family."

Li Zhan was like a trapped beast, struggling desperately but unable to break free.

"You don't know where you went wrong? You don't know how things got to this point?" Li Mushi said calmly. "Let me point you to the beginning, starting from when Jing Ge skipped a grade for the first time."

Li Zhan suddenly stopped.

“You are the esteemed young master of the Li family. You are engaged to Jing Ge. You are used to being pampered and arrogant, even though the two families were well-matched at that time,” Li Mushi said calmly. “When the Jing family went bankrupt, you had mixed feelings, including a subtle excitement. You were finally able to step on Jing Ge’s head. However, at this time, she skipped a grade.”

Everyone in the living room, including Jing Ge, was stunned.

Li Mushi: "She showed extraordinary talent from a young age. Her skipping grades was an insult to your self-esteem. You were afraid that she would leave you because she was too outstanding, so you started to suppress her in various ways."

Li Zhan found it difficult to breathe.

“Jing Ge’s second grade skipping was overwhelming for you. You are also excellent, but you can’t keep up with her,” Li Mushi said. “You are at a loss. Besides suppressing her, you try to maintain your pride by hurting her. You want to cut off her wings so that she can’t fly and thus keep her trapped by your side.”

Jing Ge's mouth was slightly open.

Li Mushi: "You are wary of her excellence, but you have overlooked the reason why she is in such a hurry. She has given you countless opportunities, and even at the Huibinlou swimming pool, she was still giving you opportunities."

"..." Jing Ge stared in disbelief, instinctively retorting, "I didn't..."

Li Mushi's solemn gaze swept over her.

Jing Ge actually started to feel guilty.

Li Zhan also didn't believe it: "She deliberately staged that scene, you're saying she was giving me a chance..."

“Because you’re too stupid,” Li Mushi said expressionlessly. “When Zhuo Yueyue was playing the victim with you, Jing Ge said something when he covered her mouth—”

Are you afraid? Have you ever felt the fear of not being able to speak? Have you ever felt the fear of being on the verge of death? Have you ever felt the fear of becoming a physical being in the same space as someone else?

Li Mushi lowered his eyes and looked at Li Zhan: "She is telling you about her experiences over the years and telling you that the culprit is in your arms. Such an obvious opportunity, yet you are more oblivious than a pig and failed to seize it in time."
