After a secret marriage, I became the biological mother of a rich and cute baby

No matter how much she hated William in her heart, she couldn't bear it as long as William hurt herself.

The same goes for my aunt.

In the past, whenever something unpleasant happened between them, William would abuse himself.

Whenever he abused himself, she and her aunt would compromise.

I don’t know if it’s because William’s mental illness is too serious, or because he developed this habit since he was a child, accustomed to hurting himself to gain the care and submission of those around him.

"Let go!" William growled.

"Can you please stop being so selfish!" Shanian also yelled, "It's always like this, every time you hurt yourself to force me to bow my head! You have been playing this kind of drama since you were a child, haven't you had enough!?"

William was stunned, and narrowed his eyes slightly at Xia Nian, "Do you think I did this to keep you? To force you to admit your mistakes? Nian, you think too highly of yourself."

Shanian said: "Yes, just think of it as my own wishful thinking, but can you please stop hurting yourself like this? How is this behavior different from that of a coward?!"

“Hehehe…” William suddenly raised his head and laughed, his sad laughter made people feel cold.

"Ni'an, you're wrong..." William gently touched the blood on the ground with his other hand, looked at the blood on his fingertips and said, "I did this just to prove that I'm still alive, but it really doesn't hurt at all..."

The physical pain can't suppress the pain in the heart.

"Why doesn't it hurt?" William looked at Shanian in confusion, "Am I really the disgusting monster that everyone says I am? That's why even my biological father looks at me with indifference..."

"Even you, who grew up beside me, have abandoned me..."

Shanian shook her head, "You're not."

"Isn't it?" William sneered, and his face suddenly moved close to Xia Ni'an, his forehead almost touching hers, "Then tell me, why is Shi Mufan so indifferent to me? Why did you abandon me back then?"

"..."Xianian hesitated to speak.

When William is out of control, nothing you say will help.

Now she just wanted him to put down the broken glass in his hand and stop hurting herself, so she patiently coaxed him, "Anyway, it's not what you think. Your father must have his reasons for not recognizing you. It's not your fault. Put the glass down first."

"What about you? Did you have your own reasons for leaving without saying goodbye?" William asked.

“…” Shanian fell into silence.

Now is not the time to argue with William about who is right or wrong.

There was no way of arguing about who was right or wrong between the siblings.

"Say it!" William suddenly shouted, scaring Shanian so much that she trembled.

"Get out of here if you don't want to talk!" William tried to push Shanian away, but Shanian held his hand tightly.

He couldn't shake her off, so he picked up the broken pieces of the wine bottle on the ground with his other hand. He didn't hurt Shanian, but instead slashed hard at his other leg.

The whole person is like crazy.

Shanian couldn't stop him at all. She rushed to him in a hurry, hugged him tightly, and cried:

"Brother! Please don't do this! I beg you not to do this! I was wrong. I shouldn't have run away from home. Please forgive me, okay?"

William's body suddenly froze, and he said in a daze: "No...it's my fault, I am disgusting, so you abandoned me and he didn't recognize me...it's my fault..."

Shanian hugged William tighter, "It's not like that..."

It was not known whether her comfort was effective or William was too tired, but his bloody hands drooped to the ground, and the glass fragments fell from his palms, finally stopping hurting himself.

Xia Nian held William’s head in her arms and continued to comfort him: “Brother, we have been children who have never been loved since we were young. We should love ourselves and cherish ourselves…”

William calmed down and let Shanian hold him.

He closed his eyes lazily, "But Nian, life is really tiring..."

After saying this, a hot tear slid down from the corner of his eye and fell into Shanian's palm.

Shanian lowered her head, her face against the top of his head, patted his shoulder gently with one hand, and hummed their favorite song from their childhood.

Gradually, William's rapid and disordered breathing became steady, and he fell asleep in Shanian's arms.

Maybe he was really tired, or maybe he drank too much, he slept very deeply...

On this side, after Gu Jinlan and his companions walked for a distance, they were picked up by the car arranged by Si Mo.

After getting in the car, Gu Jinlan asked Shi Ye, "Aye, did you see Ni An in the castle just now?"

Shi Ye nodded, "Yes, she told me that you were waiting for me there."

Gu Jinlan said worriedly: "I don't know what William will do to her. I'm a little worried."

Shi Ye put his arm around Gu Jinlan's shoulders and held her in his arms. "If you're worried, I'll come to see how Xia Ni'an is doing tomorrow morning after I send you back."

Gu Jinlan said quickly, "You'd better not go. Ni An said William wouldn't really hurt her. After all, they have a bond since they grew up together. But given the complicated relationship between you and William, he will turn against you if he says so."

"He's not as scary as you think. Didn't he let me go in the end? I wasn't hurt either." Shi Ye picked up the wine beside him, "And this bottle of wine was also given to me by him personally. I didn't steal it."

"But he is indeed a fickle person," said Gu Jinlan.

She had seen with her own eyes how William destroyed the face of the woman next to him without hesitation, so cold-blooded and ruthless.

Shi Ye gently kissed the top of Gu Jinlan's head and said, "Okay, don't worry too much. We'll open this bottle of wine when we get back and celebrate."

Gu Jinlan nodded slightly.

Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Shi Ye asked, "Are you worried about something?"

Given her alcoholic personality, this shouldn't be her reaction.

Gu Jinlan shook his head. "No, maybe I'm a little tired."

Shi Ye hesitated for a moment and glanced at Qingli in the front passenger seat and the girl driving.

Just now, he didn't bring Lan Lan to see Shi Mufan, and Lan Lan must be feeling resentful.

But now there were other people present, and he couldn't explain anything, so he gently touched her head and said, "Then lean on me, close your eyes and take a rest."

Gu Jinlan hugged Shi Ye’s waist with both hands and snuggled into his arms.

She took a deep breath and a smile appeared on the corners of her lips.

It has been a long time since I hugged him like this and smelled his unique scent.

Suddenly, she felt a bottle in his pocket. Gu Jinlan took it out curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Shi Ye was stunned. He hadn't thought of anything to say yet and couldn't answer for a while.

Gu Jinlan keenly noticed Shi Ye's abnormality, sat up and asked, "Aye, what is this?"

Shi Ye said: "Medicine."

Gu Jinlan asked: "What medicine?"

Qingli, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around curiously when he heard the voice.
