She initially thought that the ocean was her home. No matter where she went, there would always be a harbor welcoming her and giving her a sense of security, satisfaction, and trust. However, with Bruce pursuing her so persistently, she realized that she had nowhere to go.

Ye Tingyun had Emma. Bruce harbored ill intentions towards her. Her family was missing. She might even be related to Emma, whom she despised so greatly. Everything made her feel the coldness of reality. She felt very depressed.

“Mu Yuan threw the phone to me. I didn’t know that it was you.” Ye Chu was honest. She remembered the dream again, and her mood worsened. “Ye Tingyun, let me ask you something…”

Ye Tingyun held his breath and felt that this would be a dangerous question. He waited in combat readiness.

“Did you find my family?” She asked softly.

She did not have a home on the ocean anymore, and there was a person she disliked by Ye Tingyun’s side. She had nowhere to go. She was a lone person wandering in a strange world. She did not even have a passport. Mu Yuan explained to her what a ‘black household’ was, and it was difficult for her to go anywhere. She had no money nor the ability to survive in society. She was just a destitute.

She had no sense of security at all. The longing and sense of belonging for her home, which she had always buried deep inside her heart, was lit up in the midst of her despair. She had never thought that she would one day desire her family so badly. Her family was at sea, but such a deep-rooted belief was collapsing. She desperately needed a sense of security.

Her real family would not hurt her, right?

In her dreams…

She had once felt a young woman’s reckless protection.

“No.” Ye Tingyun’s desire to live was very strong. “Ye Chu, I’m your family.”

“You?”

“Yes, forever.”

“You are my enemy!”

Ye Tingyun chuckled, and his voice was very gentle. “If you treat me like your enemy, I’ll treat you like family. If you treat me like family, I’ll still treat you like family.”

“Liar.” Ye Chu’s nose soured, and she could not answer Ye Tingyun. He seemed to have a pair of eyes that looked straight into one’s heart. He could see her vulnerability, unease, and hesitation even through the phone. He was attacking her softest part without restraint, and she was unable to handle it.

“Ye Chu, come back.” Ye Tingyun’s heart hurt. “Let bygones be bygones, alright? Let’s look forward. I will definitely not do anything that will hurt you in the future.”

He could actually understand Ye Chu’s feelings.

Ye Chu really did not have anything left.

He destroyed everything that she had with his own hands. Although he was captured onto the boat by Bruce, he was the one who single-handedly caused Ye Chu’s tragedy. She initially had a home. Everyone in the ocean was her family. She had never left the sea for more than ten years. It was like a paradise on Earth. He was the one who dragged her into the mortal world and caused her to lose her family.

She had been brought to the land forcefully by him. It seemed insignificant, but he gave her the poisonous Garden of Eden. She was a stranger to the world, and the world was a stranger to her too. She could not adapt and desperately wished to return to the familiar sea. However, she discovered that she could not even return to the ocean anymore.

She became a wanderer with no place to go.

Most of the people in the MISS Building did not like her, and a lot of the rumors were hurtful. Although they did not reach her ears, they still existed. He could not even protect Ye Chu from these attacks when in his own territory. Now that Ye Chu had nothing left, she even asked for her family, whom she had never harbored any hope for earlier.

It seemed like only blood relations would make her feel safe.
