Ah Xi watched the handsome lad before him that was blocking his way.
“Hello, brother. I would like to meet Mistress.” Ah Xi sounded really respectful. He was like an excited child during Chinese New Year. His Mistress was actually still alive all this while. That had got to be the most joyful thing that had occurred in Ghost City in all these years.
Zhong Ran replied respectfully. “My Master has things to discuss with Miss Shen. May I ask that you wait?”
“No worries, no worries!” Ah Xi laughed jovially and stood still. Now, Zhong Ran felt awkward. What if he hears some weird sounds? Wouldn’t things be awkward?
Zhong Ran cleared his throat.
“Master, Miss Shen. Second Old Master Gu is looking for you!”
He spoke in such a tone that he sounded like he sang in opera shows.
Ah Xi was thinking, Damn, this lad is interesting. He’s just standing at the door. He could have just knocked. Why did he have to be so loud?
Shen Qianshu’s shirt was on her neck. She had just been softly bitten by him, and it hurt so badly that she kept massaging her shoulder. “Stop fooling around, let’s get up.”
“I want to send Zhong Ran to Africa!”
“What did Zhong Ran do wrong?” Shen Qianshu raised up her head and kissed him on the lips. She smiled as she looked at him. How could he be so charming? “Have some rest, I’m going to meet… Second Old Master.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“I’ll go alone. It’s fine,” Shen Qianshu said softly. “Master, trust me.”
She could sense Second Old Master Gu’s hatred for Ye Ling. Fang Hongxiu had been bed-bound for so many years. There was no reason for Second Old Master Gu to forgive the person who caused her to be like that. Now, with her around, Second Old Master Gu had to rethink.
Some things have to be addressed clearly.
“Do not agree to any of his ridiculous terms and conditions.”
“Okay!” Shen Qianshu rubbed him on the waist and pinched him. “I will only agree to your ridiculous ones.”
After saying that, she winked. “All of them.”
Ye Ling’s eyes lit up. Shen Qianshu had already stood up and left. Ah Xi was standing outside in all smiles. Respectfully, he said, “Mistress, you can just call me Ah Xi from now.”
“Uncle Ah Xi.”
“Oh.” Ah Xi was really happy with that.
Shen Qianshu said calmly, “Zhong Ran, take good care of your Master.”
“Yes, Miss Shen.”
She paused and frowned. “Where’s your Second Master?”
“Oh? I didn’t notice,” Zhong Ran said. He had not noticed where Ye Tingjun had gone. In a flurry, Shen Qianshu followed Ah Xi away.
The place was huge.
The bedrooms were huge too. They were about a hundred square meters each.
Fang Hongxiu lie still in bed. Her face was pale and flawless, and she did not look lively. The sun shone in through the windows and covered her with warmth. Second Old Master Gu stood beside the bed and looked at her intently. She was like a jade carving that looked like a real person.
Shen Qianshu’s steps were rather heavy.
These were her parents.
Yet, she felt that all of this were unreal.
Maybe it was because she had grown up. She was already a mom. She no longer felt the need for parental love.
All the love and hatred, gratitude and revenge did not bother her anymore.
Second Old Master Gu looked at Shen Qianshu and stood up. He was very excited. The man who had great power was shaking, and his eyes were red. Shen Qianshu opened her mouth, but she could not call him ‘Pa.’
To her, that was too difficult.
“Child, come on over!”
Shen Qianshu went over. Shen Qianshu’s voice was husky and deep. He tried his best to control his emotions. “This is your mother. In this world, she loves you the most. If she were still here and she still had a wish, it would be to see you.”
