Sense of Security

Xia He found it hard to describe what was making her feel so uncomfortable. She had a stuffy feeling in her chest, like there was a heavy stone pressing down on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"… I think I know what you mean," Qiao Mei said after thinking for a moment.

In her previous relationship, Xia He had been humiliated and reprimanded by all those relatives in the Kong family and she had always silently endured it all. Back then, she had expected Kong Lu to stand by her side and protect her, but he had never done this all throughout. He even blamed her for being too weak.

Xia He had that same feeling again after what happened just now. She knew very well that this whole issue was caused by the Ye family and had nothing to do with Deng Fan. He had not done anything wrong.
