"But the baby..."
Shu Tian was interrupted before she could finish her sentence, "There's a child seat."
In this case, she could not insist anymore. After all, he came to pick her up as soon as he got off the
plane, so she should follow his wishes.
After giving her baby a few instructions, she got into the passenger seat.
Seeing this, Shu Xiao pouted sullenly, "I hate uncle! You always snatches mommy from me! Mommy is
mine!"
The man glanced at the little boy in the rearview mirror and said, "Without me, you won't exist."
Shu Tian fastened her seatbelt and was amused by their bickering. At this moment, she felt neither the
adult was mature nor the child was innocent.
Moreover, she found the expression of Meng Shichuan was serious...
Shu Tian sighed and stabbed at his waist, whispered, "He's a child. Can you stop bickering with him?"
Before he could answer, the little boy echoed, "That's right. Uncle, how can you bicker with me? You're
much older than me. You can't bully me."
"Do I bully you?" Meng Shichuan muttered, "You're an ingrate."
Then, Shu Tian turned around to scold Shu Xiao, "Don't speak to uncle in this way."
Meng Shichuan cared about Shu Xiao very much. The first year she came here, she didn't have much
income meet the child's material needs at all. Therefore, Meng Shichuan almost provided Shu Xiao
with everything he needed and wanted. What's more, all the things were of best quality.
In addition to asking for Shu Tian's help with his housework, he seldom asked for anything else. During NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
the past three years in England, they keep a proper distance away from each other. Shu Tian was
grateful for his care and hoped that Shu Xiao would be grateful too.
Shu Xiao was scolded so that he turned his head silently towards the window. From this angle, he
looked extremely similar to the man in her memory.
Blood bond was magical. Though they had never lived together, they shared something similar, which
seemed to be imprinted on their bodies.
A trace of depression flashed across Shu Tian's eyes. She would still think of that man because of Shu
Xiao. But the frequency was gradually reduced, the wound was almost healed, and the memory was
slowly fading.
For more than three years, she had moved on.
She stopped herself from recalling and looked out street view outside the window.
[...]
When getting back home, Shu Xiao dived into his room to enjoy his toy time. He was immersed himself
in playing with various kinds of toy cars bought by Meng Shichuan.
These were all limited edition, but Meng Shichuan was never mean with money. Shu Tian would not
say anything, though she felt it expensive.
She poured a glass of water and said, "I know you care about Shu Xiao, but you don't have to buy too
many toys for him. Toys are just for fun. Don't waste money."
"I don't care." He grinded the coffee beans.
Shu Tian knew that he didn't care. He was an outstanding investor with a fortune worth thouands of
billion dollars.
But...
She put down the glass and said in a serious tone, "I can't live with your help for the rest of my life. If
you spoil him now, I'm afraid that he can't be used to the life when he has to be independent. "
There was a principle that, it would be easy to enjoy a life of luxury if you used to be poor, but difficult to
endure a life of poverty if you used to be rich.
Hearing this, Meng Shichuan suddenly paused. He clutched Shu Tian and pressed her against the
desk, leaning his waist against her laps and putting his arms on both sides of her body.
Shu Tian looked at him in panic, trying to push him away. "You, put me down!"
But she was locked and couldn't move at all. Meanwhile, she had to stay still to avoid touching him.
"Do you plan to distance yourself from me?" His voices was oozing with anger and tease, which made
her uncomfortable.
Shu Tian knew he had misunderstood and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I just want to
live my life by myself, instead of always being dependent on you. Otherwise, I will make me feel myself
useless."
"How do you interpret 'use'?" Meng Shichuan squinted at her. "Will I be useless when you are
independent?"
Shu Tian's eyes widened in shock. "That's not what I meant..."
"Then what do you mean?"
"I've planned to tell you after resigning." She took a breath and tried to calm herself down. "I've been
working in a law firm for more than two years and dealt with a lot of difficult work. With these
experience, I think I have the ability to work alone, so I decide to start a law firm by myself."
Looking at his sullen expression, she tried to make herself clear. I know it may not be easy. But I have
my plans and ideas. It's not a whim nor a fantasy. The reason why I've worked so hard in the past three
years is that I want to be able to be self-reliance one day. I know you've helped me a lot, especially for
the baby. I may not be able to pay you off for the rest of my life, but I won't burn the bridge. You should
trust me."
Her last sentence calmed Meng Shichuan down very well. He rarely exposed his true feelings, but
when he was facing Shu Tian, he had never disguised himself.
"What were you thinking of in the car just now?" He suddenly changed the topic.
Shu Tian could not react at once and asked, "What?"
"On the way back, you were depressed. What were you thinking about?"
With his reminding, Shu Tian recalled that she had thought of the man in J City for a few seconds. At
that time, she looked at the window to avoid being noticed. But obviously, she failed.
He was an acute observer of her emotions.
Shu Tian lowered her head in guilt. "Nothing."
Her reaction had told him the answer. Finding that her breathing was uneven, Meng Shichuan secretly
fixed his eyes on her well-curvy breasts.
