Li Zi Yun was the eldest daughter of the Li family but her dad hated her. Her step sister or should she say half sister was always ready to take everything away from her. Her step mother was trying to make her life a living hell. But she was no longer the old Li Zi Yun who was yearning for love. Her boss was waiting for the moment when he could make her pay for what she took away from him. But she will endure it all. She had nothing to lose. She will not succumb to the situation. Li Zi Yun was now in a respectable position in one of the top companies. No one can take advantage of her any longer. She was going to play by her rules. P.S: I Don't own the book cover.

Hearing Wu Li Shu's voice Li Zi Yun's hand immediately stopped moving.
Wang Yu whispered in Li Zi Yun's ears, "Even your friend wants us to get a room. Ready to go inside?"
"Stop it" Li Zi Yun was blushing every time Wang Yu made sneaky comments and Wang Yu loved it when Li Zi Yun blushed because of him. The last three weeks had been difficult for Li Zi Yun at office with Wang Yu pulling her to his lap and kissing her cheeks when she was not looking at him. But now she had no idea how she will be able to work in the office after this. Wang Yu was clinging onto her in every opportunity he got, she was not complaining but she did not know whether she will be able to concentrate in work once they return home.
Wang Yu turned to face Li Zi Yun and pulled Li Zi Yun's hands to his chests, "Who will apply cream in the front?"
"You" Li Zi Yun placed the cream on Wang Yu's hand and got up before Wang Yu could catch her.
"Noooo… It won't be good as your touch"
Li Zi Yun went inside the house to get drinks and fruits for everybody. The chefs had prepared everything and she only had to take it outside. Li Zi Yun was the only one who looked neat because she had not done anything and was sitting in the same place. Li Zi Yun was happy that Wang Yu had planned something like this; the trip was relaxing and a good change from her usual environment.
After the short break, Wu Li Shu took a surfing board and walked towards the water while Wu Qing was lying down beside them.
Wu Qing said to Li Zi Yun, "If he does anybody that you don't like, tell me. I'll break his nose". Li Zi Yun smiled looking at both Wang Yu and Wu Qing glaring at each other.
"Let's take a walk."
Li Zi Yun got up and held Wang Yu's hand.
As they walked near the water, Wang Yu said to her, "Just dip your feet in water"
Li Zi Yun shook her head and continued walking. Wang Yu tried to walk towards the water while holding Li Zi Yun's waist.
"No. I am not coming"
Wang Yu did not stop, "I will be holding you, come with me"
"Don't. Please stop it. Don't compel me"
Li Zi Yun tried to pull herself away from Wang Yu's hold and walked towards the mansion.
Wang Yu repeated, "I will be with you all the time. You only have to dip your legs in the water" Wang Yu tried to pull her in the direction of water and Li Zi Yun couldn't control her tone anymore.
"I SAID DON'T. STOP IT" Li Zi Yun yelled at Wang Yu and walked away.
Without looking at anyone, she ran inside the mansion. She needed to calm herself down. Wu Qing pointed towards the mansion and said to Wang Yu, "Follow her right now"
Before Wang Yu could walk Wu Li Shu started yelling at him, "I warned you she doesn't like deep sea, why do you have to make it complicated for her? Do you like to see her in pain?"
Wang Yu spoke in a calm voice, "How long does she have to live like this? Her entire life?" and walked towards the house.
Then he glared at Wu Li Shu and said, "If you want to help her overcome her trauma then say the words she needs to hear right now otherwise don't breathe a word".
Li Zi Yun rushed inside the house and went up to the room she was staying. Her hands and legs had started shivering and she sat quietly trying to calm herself down.
Wang Yu rushed inside the house. The staff informed him that Li Zi Yun had gone upstairs. He found Li Zi Yun sitting in the balcony of their room facing the ocean. She was sitting in a couch deep in thought. Wang Yu called out her name but Li Zi Yun did not reply. Wang Yu placed his hand on her shoulders and Li Zi Yun stood up with a jerk coming back to reality. She saw Wang Yu standing behind her; she turned her back to Wang Yu facing the ocean once again.
"I want to be alone for some time" Li Zi Yun did not even turn to look at him after that.
"Baby listen to me"
"Please leave. I will come out once I have calmed down. I don't want to say things that I will regret later. So please…"
Wang Yu did not leave, he sat beside Li Zi Yun. Her back was facing him. He hugged her neck from behind holding her against him.
"Please go" Li Zi Yun tried to pull Wang Yu's hands that were locked around her, she couldn't.
Wang Yu spoke in a very low voice, "How long are you going to keep everything to yourself? If you want to scream at me then scream, if you want to yell at me then yell. Don't keep everything within yourself"
Wang Yu wanted to push her until she said what was in her mind.
"I said I want to be alone"
"Stop being stubborn. How long will you stay like this? You're no longer a kid"
"Exactly. I'm no longer a kid and there's no need for you to follow me here to ask all this"
"Then stop behaving like a kid. Nothing will happen if you dip your feet in water. When are you going to try to overcome your fears?"
"Really? Do you think I did not try to do that? Don't judge without knowing the entire truth"
"Then say it out loud. How else will anyone know what's in your mind?"
