The two of them spent a little more time reminiscing about their past near the hospital before they decided to leave.

  Since they had two days in hand, they decided to spend their time exploring the city. Since it has been many years since they left the city, the two wanted to see what was the difference between the past and present.

  After roaming around the city for half a day, Xiao Li and Shen Yi returned to their current dwelling at half-past eight.

  The place they currently stayed was the same villa he used to stay at when he was four. Infact the villa actually belonged to Mu Jun's mother but since his mother and Mu Jun's mother were friends, Mu Jun's mother lent them this villa to stay at when he was in poor health. Now that Mu Jun's mother wasn't there, he could only borrow it from Mu Jun to stay at.

  Infact he did not even need to borrow since the latter had already arranged the stay for the two and even messaged him, wishing him to have a great time with his girlfriend.

  After reading the message, Shen Yi could not help but shake his head with a smile. Though cold outside, he was very kind and meticulous inside……

  As soon as Xiao Li entered her designated room, she did not even bother to shower and directly climbed her bed, too tired to move her feet.

  Once on the bed, she could not help but sigh in relief, and in no time she fell into a deep sleep.

  On the other hand, after returning to his room, Shen Yi did not sleep nor freshen up instead he stood in front of the window and looked outside deep in thought.

  Just then the door was knocked twice from outside. Without turning his head, he ordered "Come in"

  Opening the door, a bodyguard walked in carrying a file in his hand. Stopping a few steps away from Shen Yi, he said respectfully "Boss, the thing you asked me for is here"

  "Hmm……keep it on the table"

  "Yess boss" placing the file aside, the bodyguard did not leave instead stood in place with his back straight, waiting for further order.

  A long time passed before Shen Yi issued his next order "The fire incident regarding the orphanage, no matter what they do I want to get all the information about that incident"

  "Yes boss"

  "you can go now"

  "Yes boos"

  A long time passed before Shen Yi turned his head and looked at the file placed on the table. After some thought, he finally walked towards the table and picked up the file.

  Climbing on the bed, Shen Yi leaned back and finally started to read the information regarding Xiao Li's past life.

  He did not doubt that that little girl might not be Xiao Li because his instinct told him Xiao Li was that girl. All he wanted to know was her life after she left the city. Though she made it sound that her life was simple and easy, he knew it wasn't because the Xiao Li he knew in the past was completely different.

  The Xiao Li he knew was adorable, stupid, and clumsy (Cough……hope my comment never reach her) but the Xiao Li now was sophisticated, cold, and serious. There was a huge difference between these two characters which made Shen Yi curious about her change. Was Xiao Li okay just as she said? Did she change her personality just to lead a proper life? What exactly happened in the past?

  It was only after going through the file did Shen Yi know how hard was her life after that.

  After she was taken in by another orphanage, Xiao Li spent most of her time alone until a middle-class family took her in. Initially, the little girl was very happy to have a new family but the sisters of the family always bullied her and made things for her. Even the lady of the house troubled her by making her do household work. The little Xiao Li who was never thought of how to do housework suffered severely. These bunch of animals tortured and caused her soo much trouble that it became hard for the little girl to have a little peace in life.

  Thanks to the grandpa next door. When he saw how these bunch of animals treated Xiao Li, the grandpa felt sad so he complained to the orphanage and sent her back. Thanks to the old man, Xiao Li was finally able to breathe.

  But not long after Xiao Li was once again adopted but this time it was not by a family but by a bachelor who had lost his wife and children in an accident.

  As the saying goes 'Human only starts to treasure things after he loses it'. Believing that this man might take good care of Xiao Li, the orphanage once again arranged for Xiao Li to be adopted.

  Initially, the bachelor was very good and took good care of little Li, but after a few months, he finally showed his true color. Infact this man was never married nor did his wife and children pass away in an accident. it was all a lie fabricated by the man.

  once the orphanage let their guards down, he sold Xiao Li to child traffickers.

  in that inhumane place, Xiao Li could only watch as these bunch of animals tortured and forced children to beg and steal. What was worst was not only were they forced to beg and steal for survival, they were also sent to those big men who had a liking towards children.

  There were various kinds of men, those who were gentle and those who were a masochist. They would not bat an eye to torture the children just for the sake of pleasure. That inhumane were these people.

  As an adorable little girl who did not know the world, Xiao Li naturally attracted the eyes of those inhumane men.

  But God was merciful. Before she could be eaten up, the group was seized by the secret agency, saving thousands of children.

  Once rescued, the children were sent back to their respective places and family. But since Xiao Li was an orphan, she was sent back to an orphanage.

  Traumatized by the previous experience, Xiao Li no longer dared to dream of a new family. In order to not attract unnecessary attention, she even learned to dress up ugly.

  Covering her pair of adorable eyes with big glass, she cut her hair into a messy hairstyle, making her appearance ugly, and lived a tough life in the orphanage.

  Initially, things were okay since no one paid her any attention. But because Xiao Li wasn't adopted even after soo long, children at the orphanage started to spread rumors regarding Xiao Li and started to ostracise her from the group. Sometimes even the teachers and wardens disdained her and bullied her along with these children.

  There were many instances where Xiao Li had to sleep in hunger and wash her clothes many times or wear torn and tattered clothes.

  After spending ten or so years in this hellish place, Xiao Li left the orphanage and started to make a living by herself.

  though she was little, she felt living outside was better than living with those bunch of bullish people.

  After coming out of the orphanage, she disguised herself as a man but ended up looking feminine. but the result was good too since neither men nor women got closer to her.

  After that, though life was not that peaceful, Xiao Li still found a job for herself and started to earn a living.

  From the initial days of living in an orphanage to being able to rent a room, Xiao Li had to work and sacrifice a lot.

  And her years of sacrifice and hard work had brought him to this stage, and they were finally able to meet.

  When Shen Yi finished the last page, he could not describe his current emotion.

  He was sad, guilty and blamed himself for not being there and letting her experience all those horrible things.

  Only now did he understand why Xiao Li was soo against him even though she liked him. Infact the rick was no different from those criminals. For their interest, they wouldn't hesitate to frame or kill someone. Having experienced these things, Xiao Li of course did not want to experience them again.

  Only because he had been with her at one of her most difficult times, she mustered her courage and decide to be with him.

  Compared to her sacrifice, his was nothing.

  Closing the file, Shen Yi thought 'No wonder her character has changed. It's not that she had wanted to change but life has forced her to change from the stupid chubby girl to an intelligent cold beauty'

  After a long thought, Shen Yi suddenly picked his phone and called his subordinate "Make the arrangements……"

  Message from the Devil: Now that everyone knows about Xiao Li's sufferings and the reason why she did not accept Shen Yi, hope you guys wont dislike her character. If you want to cheer our cold beauty Xiao Li, you can convey your support with votes, comments and Gifts. hehe ^_^
