Chapter 21: Tong Hua Is Not Your Son

Editor: Atlas Studios

"It's okay, Mummy's here. Don't be afraid."

Ye Ling and Zhong Ran were speechless.

Zhong Ran recalled his first encounter with Little Master when he beat up three buff men and found a whole new meaning to the word 'fear.'

The father and son could not get along.

"His body is weak, and he's scared easily." Shen Qianshu lied through her teeth.

With a 'yeah, do begin your act' look on Ye Ling's face, he looked at Shen Qianshu. At the moment, Shen Qianshu could not go on. Zhong Ran was pacing about in an anxious state. Master, you've been talking about a 'little princess' for seven years, can you restrain yourself or something?

He wished he could be Ye Ling's spokesperson and start an emotional acknowledgment of the father and son.

You can't be so vicious just because your 'little princess' turned out to be a little prince.

Wishing she had wings to fly away with Tong Hua, Shen Qianshu held Tong Hua's hand. "Ye Ling, thanks for saving Tong Hua. We are leaving. See you again, don't miss us too much."

"Stay there!" In Ye Ling's eyes, a storm was brewing. He was like a lion who was enraged, sticking out his sharp claws. The atmosphere was intense, and Zhong Ran could feel his rage. His Master was temperamental, vicious, and merciless. He was a devil who could dictate life and death.

The pair of soft and vulnerable mother and son would definitely not be able to handle his fiery temper.

Shen Qianshu brought Tong Hua back in a protective way, defending her son.

"You leave!" Ye Ling said and then pointed at Tong Hua. "He stays!"

Shen Qianshu smiled at the raging Ye Ling. Even a man of iron would soften from her bright smile. "Impossible."

"He's my son."

"No!" Shen Qianshu said firmly as she stared at Ye Ling. "Ye Ling, take a good look at Tong Hua. Which part of him resembles you?"

Ye Ling looked over Tong Hua carefully, and Tong Hua cooperated by looking up smilingly at Ye Ling. Ye Ling's face was very defined while Tong Hua's was delicate and cute. There was not a bit of similarity.

"Ye Ling, our child only breathed for ten minutes in this world." Shen Qianshu was covered in a layer of sadness. Those moments of despair were dug out from her memory like a hole filled with blood.

"She died." She continued.

Ye Ling felt as if he were struck by lightning!

Everyone was shocked.

Shen Qianshu took a deep breath, tilted her head, and seemed playfully innocent. She said, "Ye Ling, you looked for me simply for your child. Your child is dead, so now we have no reason to be associated with one another. See you never again."

Ye Ling stared helplessly as Shen Qianshu left with Tong Hua.

These few years he had put himself in much danger all because he was thinking of his little princess.

He had not carried his little princess in his arms.

She can't be dead!

"Master?" Zhong Ran looked at him worryingly.

Ye Ling's face was so dark it seemed like he wanted to destroy the entire world to make them funerary objects for his little princess.

Zhong Ran told Ye Ling everything that Tong Hua previously did. Ye Ling's rage instantly calmed, and he said, "He's only seven years old, yet he's so vicious. He's definitely my child. Investigate."

Zhong Ran was tired. Master, you sure know yourself well.

"Alright!"

Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua lived in a bustling district which was very close to Tong Hua's school. It was a school district house in an upscale neighborhood. Shen Qianshu bought this house a year ago for the sake of safety.

The mother and son's financial circumstances had always not been very great.

Speaking materialistically, she never deprived Tong Hua of anything.

When Tong Hua got famous, film earnings rose. Earnings from endorsements and advertisements rose a lot too. It was only then when the mother and son's lives improved. Previously, they lived in a small neighborhood where there were constantly people invading their privacy and reporters hanging around. Thus, when she got the chance, Shen Qianshu decided to sacrifice some of the hard-earned money and buy this house.


Chapter 22: My Queen

Editor: Atlas Studios

It was a tiring day.

Shen Qianshu felt like she was trampled upon multiple times, and her body was numb and aching.

Tong Hua was very obedient and mature. He went into the kitchen, poured a cup of water, and placed it in front of Shen Qianshu.

Shen Qianshu patted him on the head and said smilingly, "Tong Hua, you scared mummy today."

"Mom, I'm the one who got scared!"

Shen Qianshu laughed and pinched his chubby face.

"Where's Yuan Hui?" Tong Hua asked.

"I don't know. I was taken away by your foster daddy, so I don't know where everyone went." Shen Qianshu replied. She thought it over, and whatever Yuan Hui and Gu Xiaoli did still haunt her. She would be lying if she said she was not upset. In fact, she felt a little wronged. Why did they treat her like that?

But in life, logic did not exist.

Just like that night, she could not blame anyone.

Blame Ye Ling?

But he had no self-control. It was not his intention to harm her.

She never touched the check even once.

Even in times when she could not afford to have a meal for days, she did not touch it.

Tong Hua asked, "Foster daddy, huh?"

He had already forgotten who his biological parents were. Ever since he could remember, Shen Qianshu was her mother. But deep down, he knew that he was not actually Shen Qianshu's biological son. Yet, he loved her. Shen Qianshu was like his big tree–his everything.

"Mom, was that man little brother's daddy?"

Shen Qianshu's face stiffened. It had been seven years, and she never mentioned much about the child who passed away. She looked down and caressed Tong Hua's face.

"Yeah."

"He looks nice. Little brother must be very handsome too," Tong Hua said. "Mom, do you like little brother's daddy?"

Shen Qianshu did not reply.

Although his mummy never told him, Tong Hua knew that little brother's heart was in him. He prolonged his life, so mummy treated him as her lifeblood. Even so, he did not mind.

He only had his mummy.

"Children should be seen and not be heard. Call Aunt Xiaojuan and tell her we're safe. Then, wash up and go to bed."

"Yes, my queen."

It was a silent night, and Tong Hua was deeply asleep.

On the other hand, Shen Qianshu could not fall asleep. Today was too intense, and it brought up too many memories.

She was pregnant when she went home, but she could only hide it. She only dared to tell Lin Xiaojuan about it. In order to make the money to raise the child, she stayed up at night with her huge belly to edit pictures for people and did designing. In the end, she was over-tired, and the fetus was in the wrong position. The doctor told her the child was healthy and would not be affected. However, when she was giving birth, she was told that the child only survived for ten minutes. She did not even have time to kiss him on the cheeks.

When she first gave birth, she cried and screamed. She was in great despair and wanted to die.

Tong Hua and her son were born on the same day, date, and time, but he had heart failure. The infant was too small and could not get a transplant. Tong Hua's mother was a physician, and she begged for someone to donate their organs to save him. Shen Qianshu could not bear to see another person having to deal with her pain, so she donated her child's heart and successfully rescued Tong Hua. Tong Hua was a name given by her; the fact that he could live was like a story that came out from a Tong Hua[1. Tong Hua means fairy tale.].

Since then, she did not meet Tong Hua's family again until Tong Hua was two. At that time, his parents got into a car accident and lost their lives. On their deathbed, they wished for their child to be given to Shen Qianshu. Tong Hua's mother kept apologizing but did not finish her sentence before death took her away. Shen Qianshu never understood why she apologized.

Was it for begging her to donate organs back then?
