Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“Because we can cozy up.” Tong Hua blinked his eyes naively and innocently. “I have observed secretly: it is worth cozying up to this person. He will attack and destroy all forces for my mummy. Hence, we will not be bullied anymore and will get back on our feet.”

“You are talking about Ye Ling.”

“Yes.”

“You think of him as someone we can cozy up to, but yet, you dislike him.”

Little Tong Hua was a little child who was up to great mischief. He raised a finger up and shook it. “Mummy, everything is a scheme.”

“…” Shen Qianshu was stunned.

She felt like she had some old blood which was contained in her throat.

Incredible, my baby.

“The easier it is to get something, the more you will not cherish it. You look at those television dramas: the female lead always plays hard to get towards the male lead. They will never be together in the first episode. It will always be a very tough and challenging process. As to the way I treat him, that is also a scheme. Everything is a scheme.”

Shen Qianshu was expressionless.

Television dramas again. I already didn’t allow you to act in prime-time television.

A normal son had become crooked.

“Your cozying up that leg is all because you want a little princess,”

“Mummy, you are scheming against him.”

“…”

Son, I feel that we both need to have a good talk.

“I will teach you.”

“Shut up!” Shen Qianshu really could not bear to hear any more.

Where did he learn all this rubbish from?

Tong Hua gestured a line across his mouth to keep it shut.

Tong Hua thought, Ok, mummy cannot do this kind of thing.

He was naive and cute. His fairy mummy was as pure and flawless as the clouds, and she had a good character.

The next moment.

Shen Qianshu asked, “How does one scheme?”

“…”

Shen Qianshu waited for his reply.

Look, my biological child!

Absolutely!

City A

Lin Xuan had been staying in the hospital for over a week. He had almost fully recovered from his injuries. Shen Lin had been by his side, caring for him and looking after him gently. Throughout the stay at the hospital, Lin Xuan had been very quiet and did not like to talk. She did not know what he was thinking and was very worried. Yet, she could only pretend that she did not know anything.

He was regretting.

He regretted that he believed her back then and let go of Shen Qianshu’s hand.

Even if it was three years ago and he had accepted her, Lin Xuan would always have a mole in his heart. And that mole was forever Shen Qianshu.

She knew it all too well, yet she could only pretend not to know.

Ever since she was born, she had been in a welfare home. There were some children who were adopted and some who had dropped out of school to make a living after they finished junior high school. The welfare home did not have enough money to support so many children. After she finished junior high school, she was forced to drop out.

Her results were very good. She could not resign to the fact that she had to drop out of school.

She knew that studying was her only way out.

Nevertheless, she did not have any money.

During the many years that she was in the welfare home, in order not to get bullied, she had to observe people’s moods, please her elders, make friends, and be likable to everybody. She was always dreaming that one day she would become very rich overnight. She always thought that one day there would be a crystal car picking her up to leave this poor place.

Until one day, a decent couple came to the welfare home to pick her.

They said that they were her father and mother.

Since young, she had been mistaken for someone else’s child.

Shen Lin thought, Oh gosh . Her dream had come true. Her wealthy parents had come to pick her. She sat in a luxurious car, which was something she had only seen on television. She looked at the gorgeous, wealthy lady and stared at the necklace on her neck, envying her so much.

She thought that it was a rare jewel.

Her mother took it off and gave it to her in order to please her.

She followed Shenxiong Fangxia and returned to the Shen family. She was like a beggar entering the five-star hotel. The magnificent Shen family was in stark contrast to the poor welfare home. Then, she saw Shen Qianshu. Shen Qianshu was wearing a fitting little dress. She had thick shiny hair. The fifteen-year-old little girl was pure and pretty just like the rich family’s daughter on television. She did not have any worries and was confident. It was in contrast to her, who was like an ugly duckling.
