“This is one of the most important things in my life. Yet all of you seem to want to tell me what to do. Can’t you respect my decisions? He’s the man I’m determined to be with, yet you keep on demeaning him and giving him a hard time. Do you ever consider the possibility that doing so hurts me? Do you
ever consider how you have been putting me in a difficult position?”
“Do you all really love me or are you all just trying to fulfill your desire to control your daughter or sister? Aren’t you all interfering with my relationship because you want to feel powerful?”
By now, everyone had lowered their heads as they self-reflected.
Qiao Qing seemed to want to say everything she’s been suppressing this past year. After a second, she continued, “You guys don’t know him so you don’t know why I like him. I can tell you.”
“Over the past year, he stayed by my side and allowed me to do whatever I wanted. At first, I used vile words and ignored him continuously, yet he never gave up on me.”
“As aman, he memorized my menstrual cycles. He gave up his face and purchased feminine products for me. At my weakest, he took care of me without a word of complaint.”
“Even when it’s unnecessary, he would still show up and fight for me during difficult times. Using ways he knew how, he remedied those hard situations for me and took care of all the loose ends. He even got rid of some people who wanted to hurt me before they could do anything. He helped me avoid
many unnecessary hardships.”
“Everyone thought that because I am capable, I don’t need protection or care. He was the only person who stood by my side and protected me. Even when I didn’t need him, he was there to support me in every way possible. Even when he found out my different identities, he continued to view me as
treasured china and constantly worried for my safety.”
“He does get jealous easily, but he keeps himself cleaner than anyone else. He is ruthless in front of the other women who expressed interest in him. He knew how to take care of my feelings and make sure I’m not jealous.”
“For me, he’s willing to stand against his own family. He sent his own brother to an island and sent his own grandma to jail. For me, he was willing to watch his grandpa die. He’s never shown any emotions to make me feel guilty about any of that. The sad thing is, he is someone who craves a family.”
“Not only did he make sure I didn’t feel guilty, he even tried to share the pressure and stress I feel. He managed his love rival’s company for him. When Leng Yan was sick, as long as I stayed awake, he stayed awake.”
“He was in no way liable for the debt I obtained. Yet he never complained and allowed me to cry for another man and work hard for another man. He swallowed all the negative thoughts he had. After dealing with Leng Yan’s business, he never tried to lift my mood by making figurines out of snow.”
“Speaking of Leng Yan… Dad, I owe Leng Yan a lot because of you. Back then, inside the biochemistry lab, Leng Yan was harmed by radiation because of me. That was the reason why he got sick. As for why I risked it all going into the biochemistry lab… it was because I wanted to rescue you, dad.”
For the first time, Quan Zexi showed signs of guilt.
Jun Yexuan felt a lump form inside his throat. His chest was swelling up so hard it just might explode. The hand that held onto Qiao Qing’s hand tightened more and more.
So she remembered everything, Though she wasn’t good at expressing herself, she remembered it all.
As Qiao Qing spoke, her eyes fogged up and her voice started to crack.
“To put it bluntly, what right do you have to interfere with my happiness? Dad, you think I’ve changed and I’m not as good at doing what you want me to do, but do you even know how angry I am?”
“Since the day I saved the wrong man from his vegetative state, I’ve been angry. | felt like none of this is worth it for me, none of this is worth it for mom.”
“Three years ago, you disappeared without a sound. I know you couldn’t help it..”
