As soon as she said this, footsteps were heard from beyond the door. They ceased right outside the hospital ward.Knock, knock, knock.There was a series of knocks on the door.Yuna knitted her brows and walked toward the door to open it. Chang stood outside with a weathered and sullen face.For some reason, he seemed to have aged a lot within a night.Shocked, she looked past his shoulders but did not catch the presence of Lisa or another.He noticed her guardedness and immediately said, “There’s no one else; I came alone.”“Dad…” She looked up at him with mixed feelings. She opened her mouth to speak several times, but even after a while, she was still unable to voice out anything.Hopelessness, heartache, regret, decisiveness – these feelings were written all over her face, and they did not escape his eyes.He owed this child of his too much. He came to explain everything clearly this time.“Please, let me take a look at Youyou. I also need talk to you about something.”Her lips cu
Her father spoke with a heavy voice, “Things may be in the past, but I’m unable to forgive or forget!”He drew a handkerchief from his chest pocket and revealed a bank card neatly wrapped within. Looking at her, he said, “There’s about 5,000,000 inside.”“Five million…”“Mm,” he affirmed, continuing, “It’s the additional remuneration the employer promised you in the past.”This was from the five-million check Weston’s assistant had given him. He used none of it and deposited everything into this bank card.Thereafter, he also deposited his salary from work into this bank card regularly. Although it was nothing much, it was a token of his regard.He saved this money to prepare for her dowry when she married off in the future.He was already getting on in age. He was not very capable and not as enthusiastic as his younger self. Excluding daily expenses, he scrimped and lived off his salary. He had not touched a penny in the card in these past few years.He had always kept this card secu
Cheng accepted his daughter’s explanation when she introduced the man as a professor from the university, but he was not a naïve three-year-old kid.He knew that Shishi had intentionally hidden the truth from him!Although he had no clue who the man was, he could largely deduce his identity when he realized how much Youyou resembled him!The man must be that mysterious employer from six years ago!He just did not want to embarrass his daughter, so he did not pursue the matter further.He accompanied his grandson as the nurses wheeled his bed up to a special care unit on the 15th floor. He reminded his daughter to go home and catch some rest first before returning to the hospital to take over his shift.She thought for a while before nodding in agreement; she would need to go back to pack some clothes for Youyou, anyway.At the elevator entrance, she told the man, “Weston, it’s late; you should go home.”A thin veil of rage covered his face, and he asked with a raised eyebrow, “Are you
Weston was lounging languidly in the back seat with his legs crossed and eyes staring vacantly ahead. He did not even glance her way when she appeared; his perfectly chiseled profile looked restrained and aloof. His lips were pressed firmly into a cold line and his eyes were only partially open in a lazy manner.He seemed like a haughty emperor most of the time. His presence was one that others could not help but submit to.She was rather upset with him.Why is this man so whimsical? Why does he do what he wants regardless of occasion?“What are you thinking all day in your head?!”She unconsciously blurted out her thoughts.She caught herself too late and could only bite her lower lip in consternation.Weston glanced at her and smiled teasingly. “Can you guess what I’m thinking about?”Guess?How could she guess?She bit her lip in resignation and just got into the car.After the car door went shut, She stared straight ahead and stayed close to the car door and far from him as much
“Are you done—”Her words were interrupted by his phone’s frantic ringing.Weston raised his brow in dissatisfaction and held up his phone.Yuna peeked over out of curiosity. ‘Manrou’ appeared on the lit screen, and it pierced her eyes like needles.Unknowingly, her chest became unbearably stuffy.His fiancée?She instantly felt vexed but returned to her senses just as quickly.Do they have a bad relationship with each other?She had never seen a couple in love label their partner’s contact with their full name before.They seemed distant with their lack of pet names for each other. Those cold words seemed to not carry any love at all.Thinking better of it, she raised a brow.What was she worrying about?Reflecting on this, she gradually felt ashamed of herself.She felt like an intruder.This discomfort made her want to clear her name, but she did not know where to start at all.Was she not right?At present, how was she different from those women interfering with other people’s mar
“That woman is quite ambitious and scheming. I have no idea how she managed to sneak into the gala. Never mind the fact that she purposely acted coquettish in front of Azhe, she constantly tried to get closer to Yuki as well. In your opinion, is she pulling some tricks to gain status through her son?”Manrou’s eyes were overflowing with sorrow as she continued, “Yuki has never been close to me. I’m afraid that she’ll play some tricks to separate us mother and son! Grandpa, you be the judge; is she being too much?”Recalling the day of the gala when Yuna and Weston were being intimate with each other in the dance floor, her heart ached terribly.“Is she an actress?” Grandpa snorted with contempt. He was an old-fashioned person and was never fond of the entertainment industry, especially female stars. He always thought that they had ulterior motives and questionable backgrounds. None of them were good apples!Celebrities were the most frowned upon among the rich. In today’s context, cel
“Weston?” Yuna called out. He looked up to see Yuna carrying a heavy load of dirty laundry. She saw the toy design sheets in his hands and warned sternly, “Don’t touch anything or else Youyou will be angry!” That study room was Youyou’s little world. She would sometimes enter to dust and air the room but she never once touched anything else inside. He placed the design sheets down and went out of the room. From the corner of his eye, as if he had discovered the New World, he spotted the bedroom and made a beeline for it. Her forehead broke out in a cold sweat as she stood at the side. This appeared to be just like a noble who was provided for touring the slums. She did not give it further thought, however, and just continued carrying the clothes into the washroom. She decided to take this time to wash everything. Meanwhile, the man proceeded to help himself to the bedroom ‘tour’. Upon entering the room, a double bed, fitted with light blue quilt and bed sheet that gave off pla
Weston pulled up her chin and inched his handsome face closer to her. Pressing his slightly chilly lips to the corner of hers, the warmth of his breath slipped through the gap between her lips and invaded her cavern.His breathing gradually became unstable and a little shorter. His thin, kissable lips journeyed back and forth across her neck. He landed soft kisses on her and ended up only wanting more. He was quite similar to those travelers who felt parched as they got lost in the desert; as for her, she was like a clean and clear magical spring. He tasted her continuously, but his thirst was not quenched.His thin lips pressed along her elegant neckline, and his strong arms hooked across her slim and fragile waist. He applied strength on to her back, subsequently propelling her body closer to his chest.Separated by a thin layer of clothing, he could feel the temperature, suppleness, warmth, and wonder of her skin.He supported the back of her neck with his palm and nudged her forwa
