Frowning he opened his eyes and what he saw made him let go of the knife he was holding in his hands.

Furious and angry, Yu Dong stood in front of him. Her hand was curled around the blade of the knife tightly because of her grip her hand was bleeding feverishly and as if she couldn’t even feel a thing, she was still holding on to it even when he let go.

” How…How could you?” Chen Mi who was standing beside Fang Chi stumbled as he retreated with his hands clamped on his mouth. He looked startled, afraid and relieved all at the same time, Shen Li noticed that he was trembling and crying, and if not for Fang Chi who was holding him still, he might have fallen on his knees.

His gaze slowly darted to Ye Liu who looked even more hurt and Shen Li lowered his head in shame. He had promised Ye Liu that he wouldn’t try anything like this again and here he was ——-

” Dong Dong…please… don’t do this ” he muttered as his gaze dropped on the knife she was holding and tried to take it from her. ” Let go of the knife you are getting hurt.”

But she didn’t let go and nor did she allow him to touch her.

Shen Li felt a pang in his chest as he slowly raised his head and looked at Yu Dong. Anger and disappointment were welled up in her eyes and she looked really frenzied while looking at him.

”Dong Dong, at least let go of the knife..” he said as he once again tried to take it from her but she dodged his hand again, feeling a bit at loss, Shen Li turned to Ye Liu and looked at him with a pleading expression. ” Liu, take the knife away from her. See how badly she is bleeding.”

Ye Liu didn’t look at him but he did turn to look at Yu Dong and said, ” Don’t get me wrong, I am not doing it because I pity you… I am only doing this because it hurts my heart to see my wife bleed.”

Shen Li nodded, he knew that this time…he really have angered his family but what was surprising was that Yu Dong didn’t let Ye Liu take away the knife from her hand either. Surprised, Ye Liu looked at Yu Dong. ” Dong Dong, let me take it——”

Before he could finish saying what he was going to say, Yu Dong flipped the knife skilfully and raised it to her neck, causing everyone in the room to stiffen. Especially Fang Chi who felt like his heart was going to jump out of his throat, ” No, Dong Dong!”

” Dong Dong, listen to me…” Ye Liu tried to calm Yu Dong as she continued to look at Shen Li and with a shaky voice tried to take the knife away from her. ” Listen to me, we can talk it out.. you don’t.. think about us… even if you don’t want to think about me and Brother Li, at least think about Mi and Chi, they are completely innocent in this entire thing!”

When she didn’t say anything and only dug the tip of the knife into her neck even deeper, Fang Chi couldn’t hold it anymore, without caring about himself, he rushed and took Ye Liu’s place that the latter very easily gave up, knowing that at the moment Fang Chi was the only one who could calm Yu Dong down. ” Dong Dong, you can hear me right?” He whispered in a trembling voice. ” Please, please let the knife down. I know you are angry, you are very angry and I understand… you have every right to be angry but don’t hurt yourself in your anger, please I beg you… if something happens to you what will happen to our child, do you want him or her to grow up without a mother.”

The tip dug in even deeper and Fang Chi felt his heart bleed, he looked at Chen Mi who despite trembling like a little leaf, came to Yu Dong sighed and tried to take the knife from her when she didn’t budge, Chen Mi felt even more terrified. He had never thought about his life without Yu Dong and he didn’t want to even think about it, knowing that this happened because Shen Li, he turned to look at him and shouted, ” Do something before she——-“

His words were cut off when Yu Dong pulled out the knife from his throat but only to bring it down at her throat even harder.

” No!”

” Dong Dong!”

” Nooo!”

” Stop it!” Shen Li could no longer take it as he lunged at Yu Dong and wrapped his arms around her throat. Shivering and trembling, he held her tightly, worried that she would try to harm herself again, he understood why she was doing it and felt even guiltier, it was him … because of him, Yu Dong got hurt. ” I get it, I get it… so please, stop it. I will never do anything like this again, I promise.”

But when she didn’t move he knew, she didn’t believe him because he promised the same thing before together with Ye Liu. ” No, I swear to God, I will never do anything like that, if I do then my soul will never reincarnate, I promise… so please let go of the knife! Please!”

This time, Yu Dong dropped the knife with a clatter and pulled it away from him. Her gaze was slightly less frantic than before but she still looked raging mad.
