Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Shen Qianshu was not very persistent. As she alighted from the car, she merely mumbled. “Master, you haven’t proposed.”

Ye Ling’s heart did not fluctuate at all. He was expressionless, with a look that spoke “I can’t hear whatever you say.” He walked forward in huge strides. Shen Qianshu laughed happily. His stupid pride!

Yun An locked himself into his room. Shen Qianshu was a bit worried and knocked on his door. He should have been back already. Tong Hua appeared from the side. “Mommy, Uncle Yun An is in a bad mood.”

“Mommy knows.” Shen Qianshu ruffled his hair. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“I’m waiting for you!” Tong Hua protested strongly. “Mommy, don’t just care about Daddy. Care about me too. You abandoned me for the entire day. I’m unhappy now.”

Shen Qianshu could not control her laughter. She missed such days where the two of them fought over her favor.

“Daddy’s fine now. He’s not Noah, and he does not have a fragile heart. Bring me along for your next date. He must be used to family life with a child. He must get used to a child being the third wheel.” Tong Hua entangled himself with Shen Qianshu and acted cute. He pulled onto her hand and tickled her palm gently. His gaze seemed heartless yet very intelligent.

He did not want to be a child abandoned by his Daddy and Mommy.

It was too boring.

“Okay, Mommy understands. You have suffered for these few days.” Shen Qianshu touched his cheek. Her baby son had already grown up, and there were only these few years left for him to still cling onto her. After a couple more years, he would not be so clingy to Mommy anymore. He would have his own friends, his own crush, and things that he liked to do. He would no longer be that child that would look for his Mommy anymore.

However, Ye Ling had missed out on all of Tong Hua’s childhood. He should not miss his coming-of-age anymore.

“Pinky promise!”

“Pinky promise.” Shen Qianshu promised her son happily and coaxed him to rest first. She stood in front of Yun An’s door for a long while and knocked onto the door again. Yun An finally opened the door.

Yun An’s expression had already restored its calmness. Although his eyes were still red, it did not look obvious anymore. He seemed happy yet sad at the same time. It made one’s heart ache.

“Are you okay?”

Yun An shook his head. Both of them went to the living room, and Shen Qianshu made a pot of tea. Although she was a thoughtful girl, she was still eager to find out more. Hence, she was stuck between really wanting to ask him and not daring to do so.

Was everything alright with Li Chen?

Yun An smiled slightly. “Don’t be so restrained. I’m fine.”

“Are you really fine?”

Yun An shook his head. He wanted to tell Shen Qianshu that her Big Brother was still alive, but he was using Li Chen’s identity. However, Li Chen did not want to return to the Ghost City. Qianshu and her Big Brother had never seen each other before, and their relationship did not have any foundation. Hence, he decided to conceal this. If this matter was to be revealed, it should be Gu Yuanan to tell it to her, not him. Otherwise, he would be overstepping his boundaries.

Gu Yuanan wanted to disappear.

He was unwilling to get tangled up in too many affairs.

“You seem like you have a lot on your mind. You don’t seem fine. Did you reconcile with Li Chen?”

Yun An shook his head lightly. This was an indelible inner conflict for him. No one knew how to untangle it. He was bothered too. Gu Yuanan was alive, and he was happy.

However, there was a thorn in his heart. Luckily, this thorn was insignificant compared to the fact that he was still alive.

He was a sincere person and had experienced the fearful life of Gu Yuanan not being by his side. He was even thinking that, even if Gu Yuanan really liked Li Chen, he would not mind anymore.

He would strive to neglect this thorn. He would work hard and rediscover his own love.
