Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“No.” Shen Lin tried to look pitiful. “Did Shen Qianshu tell you this? She’s maligning me. She… Mr. Ye, you may not know this, but Shen Qianshu and I are somehow related. So she has always been jealous of me.”

“What relation?” Ye Ling twirled his pen slowly.

Shen Lin told him everything about her and Shen Qianshu. “So she is always harboring some form of hatred for me. When I was at home, I always asked my parents to bring her home, but she refused to have me in the family. She’s arrogant. She refuses to return home. I did not steal or copy her works.”

“She’s jealous of you?” Ye Ling scoffed. “I don’t see anything about you she should be jealous of?”

Shen Qianshu nodded. Master knows me best!

Shen Lin broke into a cold sweat as if chunks of ice were melting on her. Her heart full of joy and excitement vanished in an instant. She felt indignant. He was willing to see her, and he had invited her over sincerely. He must be mad at her for rejecting him. “Mr. Ye, please believe me. I really did not… You can’t favor her just because Shen Qianshu is Ye Yifan’s woman.”

“SHUT UP!” Ye Ling yelled. He stood up and stepped towards Shen Lin, his face darkening. Shen Lin jumped in shock. She was really fearful. He lowered his body, and his voice quaked. “Shen Qianshu is my girlfriend.”

Shen Lin widened her eyes in shock, retreating slowly. She found it unbelievable. “No way. No way… No way!”

“Get lost!” Ye Ling ordered impolitely.

Shen Qianshu was next door, and she was puzzled. “What did Master just say?”

“I didn’t hear it either.”

Shen Qianshu said, “Shen Lin looks so petrified. Master didn’t threaten her, did he?”

“Sounds like something he’d do.”

“That’s… great!”

“…” Zhong Ran stared at Shen Qianshu.

Shen Lin left the President’s office looking frightened and confused. She was mumbling to herself.

Shen Qianshu cursed inwardly. Has she gone mad?

She was just thinking whether Master would kill her if he knew that she was spying on him. Just as she was thinking so, the door was pushed open by someone.

“Ah… Zhong Ran, you just said that Professor Ke is the most powerful heart specialist in the U.S. huh? How amazing. His prescriptions must be right.” At such a moment, Shen Qianshu thought of a random reason to be staying here.

Zhong Ran was confused.

Miss Shen, you are just so admirable!

Ye Ling humphed. Shen Qianshu smiled and stood up, twirling her hair. “Mr. Ye, I’m here to talk about Tong Hua’s illness with Zhong Ran. Are you done meeting your client?”

“Come here!” Ye Ling said with a deep voice.

Oh no. Oh no, Master is mad.

Shen Qianshu was on the verge of crying. When Ye Ling asked people to ‘get lost,’ the first thing she should do was to leave. She tried to treat it as if Ye Ling was only telling her to leave, but she felt awkward for being here.

Ahh… How awkward.

I’m totally not a spy.

It’s all Zhong Ran’s fault!!!

Shen Qianshu walked over hastily and looked pitiful. “Master, I’m not a spy.”

Ye Ling’s face darkened. “If you want to know everything about me, just put a tracking device on me. Why go through so much hassle?”

“…” Shen Qianshu stared at him blankly.

She was confused. I think you may have misunderstood something.

This was totally not what she had expected. This was simply so… aggressive and domineering…

“That’s not what I…”

“Do you want to put one?” Ye Ling asked, looking eager for a reply. You could see the sincerity in his eyes as if he would not find it annoying to be tracked 24/7. He looked really excited. Meanwhile, Shen Qianshu was really confused.
