"What did you say?" Hearing Ye Zhi's name from Ou Tiantian's mouth, Ou Minghan almost jumped out of shock!
However, the cold chains restricted his movements, pinning him to the bed. He was filled with suspicion and uncertainty. Had Ou Tiantian heard something from Ye Zhi that made her attitude towards him change so drastically? Was it a matter of affection, or something else?
He immediately said nervously, "Tiantian! Don't listen to others sowing discord between us. How good I am to you, don't you know?
Do you forget that when you were a child, you accidentally ate mango cake and suffocated due to an allergic reaction? I was the first one to find you and send you to the hospital, saving you just in time!
Also, after Mom and Dad died, we relied on each other. Whatever you wanted, I gave. Whatever you said, I listened! No matter what you did, I was always on your side. To find a suitable heart for you, I didn't hesitate to marry a woman I didn't love..."
Ou Minghan became more confident as he spoke. Ou Tiantian had always obeyed him and only believed her brother. Moreover, she was never stingy with money. The person he trusted most was Ou Tiantian.
How could their relationship be so easily stirred up by a few words from Ye Zhi?
Ou Tiantian had locked him up, and she must be angry with him for not visiting her for so long, which was why she did this. But in fact, Ou Tiantian couldn't bear to hurt him!
Thinking this, Ou Minghan smiled triumphantly. He shook his wrists and said with a hint of reproach, "Tiantian! I told you, I will be with you forever. Why don't you trust me? Come on, hurry and help me untie these, or I'll get angry!"
"So noisy." Ou Tiantian looked at him sarcastically, then picked up a towel, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it directly into Ou Minghan's mouth.
"Tiantian, you... woo woo woo!" Ou Minghan's mouth was forced open. He turned his head incredulously, looking at Ou Tiantian.
Ou Tiantian sat back in her chair, took off her shoes, and sat curled up, hugging her knees.
She could hear Ou Minghan's muffled sounds but paid no attention. She spoke slowly, "I had a dream. A... very strange dream."
"In that dream, the Ye family fell, and you imprisoned Ye Qinya. You said you only wanted her heart to exchange for mine, but you made her pregnant.
I was very angry. You explained that she deliberately drugged and seduced you, and that she didn't want to exchange hearts, so she wanted to use this child to force you to marry her.
I was furious. She actually wanted to threaten you this way, so I designed to push her down the stairs. She miscarried, and you didn't blame me. Instead, you cared for me, which made me think that no matter what I did, it was right.
I became even more crazed. I framed her and bullied her, but you always turned a deaf ear and always stood on my side. But Ye Qinya got pregnant again. You explained that you were accidentally tricked by her again.
I believed you. You told me that even if she was pregnant, you would send her to the operating table and give me her heart as punishment for seducing you.
I chose to believe you. When it was time for surgery, you really pushed her onto the operating table. But after the surgery, she disappeared, leaving only a newborn infant for you.
You brought the baby to me and asked me to raise him for you. Brother, you know how much I hate children!"
"Woo woo—" Ou Minghan let out two muffled sounds. He was extremely agitated.
What was wrong with Ou Tiantian? It was just a dream, why did she care so much?
Ou Tiantian slowly let out a breath, hugging herself even tighter. "But that was your child. You wanted me to help you raise him. Although I hate children, I still agreed.
You said that being a single father was not good for your image and would harm the company's development, so you hoped to announce publicly that this was a child I adopted. I also agreed.
Brother, do you know how annoying it is when a child wakes up almost every two hours at night? Do you know how loud their cries are? Do you know how torturous it is to have a heart patient take care of an infant? I'm going crazy!
He is your son, but you ignored him because you said you didn't want to see him, as he reminded you of his mother.
People outside even rumored that he was my child, born from me seducing you, which is why he could only be placed under my name as an adopted son without any proper status.
I was so angry and wronged. Yes, I love you very much, I rely on you very much, and I even want to monopolize you! But that was only love for a brother, for family! Between us, we have always been innocent. Nothing improper ever happened. I only considered you as my brother and only hoped you would dote on me and only me!
You drove away my friends, the people I trusted, leaving only you in my life. I only trusted you. You didn't tell me that this way of thinking was wrong. Instead, you constantly encouraged my thoughts, making me extreme, stubborn, and crazy.
When others misunderstood me and spread rumors, some even saying that this was my child with a group of people, and that I didn't even know who the father was, these rumors became more and more outrageous, but you never helped me explain.
I endured all of this. During his most bothersome phase, I raised him myself. But after four years, everything changed.
Ye Qinya changed her identity. She became a renowned jewelry designer, a Duke's daughter, and changed her name to Cen Ya. Behind her was the immensely wealthy Cen family.
You started to interact with her frequently, and your son also tried his best to connect you, constantly trying to bring you together.
I questioned you, and you just said that your company's development had been very slow in recent years, and it needed the Cen family as support. You only wanted to cooperate with the Cen family, not for Cen Ya.
I believed you, but you grew closer and closer. To keep her, you even deliberately made her misunderstand that I was abusing your son! Ha, I hate children so much. If I really abused him, would he be alive until now?
I was very angry, and like before, I desperately opposed Cen Ya. But this time, you were always on Cen Ya's side. You always questioned me and got angry at me, while she would always forgive me magnanimously. Your act, playing good cop and bad cop, always made others see how wicked, crazy, and pathological I was, like a clown.
And finally, you decided to be together, a happy family of three. But because I had repeatedly tried to harm Cen Ya and your child, you finally lost your patience and canceled out the kindness of the Ou family in raising you. You declared me mentally unstable and had me confined in a mental hospital abroad, claiming it was to help me recover."
