The afternoon sunlight was bright and warm, streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows and illuminating half of the three-story villa.
Ling Momo sat in front of the piano, playing attentively note by note.
Li Qingshen sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out in a slight trance.
The windows of the villa were very bright, and Qingshen’s gaze was fixed on a spot where a faint and mist-like reflection of Momo appeared.
Outside, the mountains were green, the waters clear, and the sky blue with white clouds—the scenery was so beautiful, yet it couldn’t compare to her faint reflection on the glass.
Li Qingshen truly wished that time could stop at that moment; he was willing to keep looking without ever growing tired.
As Qingshen watched, he couldn’t help but think back to his childhood, the first time at his grandmother’s and great-grandfather’s wedding.
Before he was four, he had only his mother.
All the other kids had fathers, except for him.
He went home demanding a father, which caused his mother to tear up, crying secretly in the dark night.
At the age of four, he met his father and then had a complete family.
Back then, he had already started kindergarten, was exceptionally naughty, kissed all the little girls in the kindergarten, and came home to be chased around the house by his father.
At that time, he was exceptionally naughty.
As he grew older, his mischief remained unchanged until he was sent abroad at age eight.
Being the big young master of the third generation of Baodi Group and the only son of the Li Family, his life was naturally comfortable and carefree, with many people looking after him.
However, even so, America was still a foreign land to him, and since he was a day student, returning home meant only servants to talk to, no real friends; the servants were utterly respectful towards him, and over time, he gradually became silent.
The aloof and proud disposition might have started to form then. Thɪs chapter is updated by NovelHub(.)net
At first, there was no one to speak to, and as time passed, it turned into having nothing to say.
Gradually, he became more reticent.
Additionally, as his education level increased and his study tasks became heavier, the inevitable pressure also grew, and so, his disposition grew increasingly reserved.
He went abroad at eight and didn’t return until he was fourteen.
It was the day of his grandmother’s grand wedding.
He got off the plane and was directly taken to the wedding at the "Imperial Palace."
He, Bao Chongchong, Su Chen, Qin Sheng, and Yi Qian, who were infrequently together, had a lot to talk about upon meeting.
After having some drinks, he frequently needed to use the restroom, and he disliked crowds, so he chose to walk through the less crowded dining area.
No one expected that such a detour would lead to a miracle.
Since the wedding had not yet started, naturally, no one was eating in the dining area.
But to his utter surprise, there was a little girl wearing a beautiful pink princess dress and with two high pigtails, stretching her chubby hands to reach for the food in the area.
Li Qingshen slightly furrowed his brow, wondering which family’s little girl this could be, behaving so inappropriately. The next second, he saw the man his grandmother was marrying, walking over and calling, "Momo!"
The little girl, hearing someone call her name, quickly withdrew her hand.
"Momo, you can’t eat the food here. Wait until I allow you to eat, understand?"
The girl named Momo nodded vigorously at the man, looking exceptionally well-behaved, and then was led away by him.
