The little one was only just gentle and fragile like Lin
The burly man grabbed the little devil by his leg, and tried all he could to drag him down to the floor, however, his weakened arms were kicked away by Little Cutie Pie.
"Uncles, don't boast around so much, you should read more books instead." He shook his head sweetly, "Life is like a play, everything depends on how you act…"
Little Cutie Pie stood up. Just as he was about to leave, the warehouse door was smashed to pieces, a few scraggly pieces of wood remained, swinging uselessly on the hinges. A group of men, dressed in identical black appeared in the small and narrow warehouse. They noticed the burly men twisted up on the ground, as Little Cutie Pie revealed a courteous smile and stared at them cheerfully.
Zhong Ran eyed the situation in the dilapidated room with the men rolling pathetically on the floor, and found it challenging to draw a logical explanation. His originally facetious attitude took a 180 degree turn and he bowed slightly towards the small child.
"Young Master, we are here to take you home."
"Oh…" Little Cutie Pie's voice was soft and you could hear the smile in his voice, "Then you guys are a little too late."
Zhong Ran raged internally, cursing the boy in his head. Damn! He's so young but already so savage. He's definitely a product of Master.
But, where's the supposed 'little princess'?
Could it just be Master's one-sided dream of having a 'little princess'?
Little Cutie Pie turned, glanced at them and commanded, "Call 120."
On the return trip, Little Cutie Pie sipped his yogurt with the elegance of a young prince, as he stared at Zhong Ran's long hair. The style was unique. He wore his hair long and even dyed two strands a chestnut color. It would have been unpopular if he had substandard looks. However, with his looks, it made even this unpopular hairstyle seem fashionable and stylish.
"Young Master, how did you poison their food?"
Little Cutie Pie let go of the straw gently and answered, "In the drama series I acted in last year, that's how I was poisoned to death."
Zhong Ran was speechless.
Zhong Ran suddenly understood everything. He had been wondering how a seven-year old child could have such deep knowledge and scheming thoughts. How clever. Young Master was kidnapped but he really did not need anyone to save him. He could 'carry' the entire situation alone.
It's amazing how genes seem to come out in the most subtle ways.
"Why are all of you calling me Young Master?" Little Cutie Pie asked curiously. After leaving the Shen home, no one had called him Young Master.
"It's because you are our Young Master."
"That sounds really cool."
"We were ordered by your father to come and save you." Zhong Ran tried with utmost sincerity to speak well so as to leave a good impression of Master. For the sake of his wages, he had to help Master appear great to Little Cutie Pie. Unexpectedly, Little Cutie Pie smiled sweetly at his words, "Wow, I can't wait!"
Zhong Ran glanced around at the other men in the car.
Was he the only one who felt that Young Master did not sound like he was looking forward to meeting his father at all?
They all exchanged glances. You're not alone!
….
Shen Qianshu looked at the extravagant chateau, feeling like she had traveled back in time to seven years ago.
It was an old chateau, built in a continental European style. Its carved walls and decorative elements gave her a familiar feeling, though she was certain she had not been here before.
In the garden of the chateau, there was an enormous pool. Ye Ling stood upright beside the pool, back rigid and his hands clasped tightly behind his back. The air was thick with tension and he exuded a frosty coolness, giving off a dangerous feeling that he was about to erupt. Shen Qianshu racked her brains to find a way to counteract, trying to figure out how to escape from his monstrous claws. There was nowhere to hide.
Ye Ling was a terrifying man. No one could be clearer than her, exactly how frightening he was. She forced herself to remain calm, though her insides were quivering and her heart was thumping hard against her chest.
"Your boyfriend kidnapped my daughter to blackmail you?" Ye Ling turned around suddenly and stared at her coldly. Shen Qianshu shuddered. Her pale fingers held tightly on the hem of her shirt and the awkwardness was hard to describe.
"My ex-boyfriend," Shen Qianshu gave a small smile, emphasizing the first word. In front of him, she always felt incredibly vulnerable. "He owed debts from gambling and came up with that terrible idea. Ridiculous."
Ye Ling sneered. Shen Qianshu pulled a bold face and smiled, "It's been seven years since we last met, you… have only become more handsome."
In his amber eyes, there was only an everlasting coldness, just as she always remembered. His long stride and tyrannical footsteps approached her like a stalking panther alongside the border of the pool. It was as if each foot stepped straight on Shen Qianshu's heart, she swallowed deeply and her heart raged.
Shit!
Even if was a douchebag, a violent and bloody douchebag, his every move turned her on. With his dark gaze on her, she was hit in the face by an unknown desire she hadn't felt for as long as she could remember. It was too tempting, too irresistible. She took a few steps back as her heart raced wildly. Her pale cheeks turned rosy.
"Seven years have passed, you… became ugly."
Shen Qianshu was speechless.
What the…!!!
"Ye Ling, have your standards hit the sky? Back then, I was such an old-fashioned person with a chubby face and childish body full of body fat. How could you even compare it to my current state?" Shen Qianshu blurted out. As a woman, it was unbearable for him to call ugly, especially when in comparison her to her younger days!
Ye Ling's gaze on her deepened. His eyes were dark and foreboding, and Shen Qianshu felt her heart leap in her throat.
"Boyfriend?" In Ye Ling's eyes, a storm was brewing. "Not only are you ugly, you're also blind."
"Excuse me, can't you speak nicely? What's up with all the personal attacks."
They had met seven years ago in Paris, one of the most romantic cities in the world. She had arrived, full of dreams and aspirations, yet, it was such an… eccentric encounter and an even more abrupt separation. She had left feeling so humiliated, but it had been so long that she no longer fussed about the injuries she had received from that traumatic night. Why did he suddenly reappear in her life?
And resent her for being ugly! He was the same as ever!
Unbearable!
Ye Ling kept pressing on, leaning closer and closer, making Shen Qianshu step back in anxiety. He was too intimidating. His eyes were hypnotizing. To her, they had always been so enchanting. When he set his eyes on her, it would take her breath away, but it could also put her in danger. Her eyes darted around. She had nowhere to escape.
She stepped backwards into nothingness, her eyes widening as she fell back towards the pool, not prepared loss of balance and too disoriented to pull herself forward. Shen Qianshu screamed and Ye Ling anxiously reached out his arm to grab her by the waist. Shen Qianshu steadied her pounding heart, Lucky! Otherwise, I would be drenched! As she caught her breath, Ye Ling's arm had barely reached her waist, when he pulled it back.
He pulled it back!
SPLASH! Shen Qianshu fell into the pool.
F*ck you, Ye Ling!
In a flurry, Shen Qianshu came up and balanced herself in the water. Thankfully, the side of the pool was not deep, when she stood on both legs, the water was just around her chest. Shen Qianshu tore the forced smile off her face.
Shen Qianshu scowled at him angrily, hands balled into fists, "YE LING, ARE YOU CRAZY!"
"Look at you, making a fool out of yourself. Now you look so much more energetic than before with that fake smile you had on your face." Ye Ling sneered. In a condescending manner, he stared at her, "Your ex and your bestie hooked up, got together and kidnapped my daughter to ask you for money. You don't even seem angry about it. Shen Qianshu, I guess you really don't have a heart."
Ye Ling got two things wrong. Gu Xiaoli was not her 'bestie', she was only a high school friend of sorts. Coincidentally, they worked upstream and downstream in the same industry so they interacted frequently. Their friendship was not too bad, but it was far from 'besties'.
Yuan Hui pursued her for a year and kept pestering her so she had agreed in the end. They started dating when Tong Hua fought with another child star while filming and the opponent arranged for people to beat Tong Hua up. He was only a child. Shen Qianshu had reported it to the police but still could not forget the incident. The fight started because another child star mocked Tong Hua for not having a father.
Despite everything that had happened, she did not hate Yuan Hui. In fact, she had given it a lot of consideration in the months he had pursued her, weighing his many aspects, he was not bad as a love partner. So, she agreed to date him and give Tong Hua a complete family. A year has passed, even raising a dog would foster relationships, let alone being with a living adult.
"So what if I am upset?" Shen Qianshu looked up at Ye Ling. "No matter how much it upsets me, what's happened has already happened and nothing will change. Since nothing is going to change, accepting it and letting it go with a smile feels pretty good."
