He knew he wasn’t Yiming’s biological father, but he treated him well, like a son. His mother wanted a better relationship between them, but he didn’t understand how his name had any bearing on it. For his own sake and to avoid worrying his mother, he felt he had no choice but to agree.
He didn’t know how his mother met his father, who was five years older than her, and when he asked, they never disclosed anything.
He only knew he came to his father’s home when he was three years old, with only vague memories of the event. Why didn’t they have their own child? Perhaps they were considering him, but he didn’t ask, fearing it might hurt their feelings.
“Wu Ma! President Shen is right. I don’t understand ‘politeness’ or how to write it. I’d better leave quickly to avoid embarrassment. I’m no longer interested in President Shen, so you can rest assured! Thank you for the clothes. Excuse me for the trouble; I’ll pay you back,” Luo Yaling said angrily to Shen Yixuan.
A sentence snapped Shen Yixuan back to attention.
“So you were interested in me before?” Shen Yixuan paused, then continued: “Keep the money; consider it a gift to a beggar.”
“You……” She was furious. How could he compare her to a beggar? Although she had struggled in recent years, she wasn’t dirty enough to be like one! Despite his handsome appearance, he constantly mocked and bullied her. What was in his heart? Even the thickest skin would feel pain from such treatment.
He was truly one of a kind, never offering her a kind word, as if he saw her as a bad person.
Little did he know, even if hurt, she would bravely get up. Nothing in the world was insurmountable. But…
“Can’t you two talk calmly?” Wu Ma was distressed by the situation, wanting them to get along. She never expected the young master to speak to Xiao Ya like this. It seemed hopeless. When would the young master open his heart? Wu Ma worried.
“Wu Ma, forget it. Talking calmly is impossible. Thanks for lunch, but I’m leaving.” Luo Yaling stood up and walked towards the door.
