After saying goodbye to Li Meili and her husband, they prepared to return to their room. On the way, Shen Qian couldn’t help but yawn, showing signs of exhaustion. Yu Ran glanced sideways and asked, “What? Tired?” “You know, I get sleepy easily.” Yu Ran suddenly stopped. Shen Qian, finding it strange, also stopped and looked up at him. Yu Ran asked, “Do you hear any noise?” Shen Qian quieted down, listening intently. Indeed, there was someone talking near the corridor to her left, not softly, seemingly arguing. And the voice sounded familiar. Yu Ran hugged Shen Qian, and they continued walking, “Let’s pretend we didn’t hear anything.” Shen Qian clearly heard a woman grumbling, “What old habits, do you think I haven’t seen that report? Do you really want to die that badly?” “Are you ever going to stop?” a man’s voice, impatient. How could Shen Qian not recognize that man’s voice? Her supposed father, Yu Tianyang? And the woman was his wife, Mrs. Hu. They were clearly arguing, but about what, Shen Qian could only guess. As smart as Yu Ran, he knew, but he was right, it wasn’t their business to meddle in. Until… “Oh my God, Tianyang, Tianyang, wake up.” Mrs. Hu was screaming. They could no longer walk away now. Yu Ran ran over, comforting Mrs. Hu while trying to revive Yu Tianyang, who had fainted. Shen Qian just stood there, watching the man with closed eyes and pale lips. She felt calm, as if watching a stranger. She truly had no feelings for this so-called father. Mrs. Hu stood up to find medical help, pausing when she saw Shen Qian standing there coldly, her eyes filled with complex emotions that Shen Qian couldn’t decipher. Mrs. Hu hesitated only for a moment before rushing off to get help. After a while, medical personnel arrived, took Yu Tianyang away, and Mrs. Hu’s expression seemed on the verge of tears, looking very vulnerable, a stark contrast to her earlier shrewish behavior. Shen Qian suddenly thought of her mother, Shen Mu. If she knew this man had fainted, would she be as anxious as this woman, shedding her cold exterior to reveal a vulnerable side? Probably not, because her mother didn’t have the luxury to cry so openly.
Yu Ran followed Shen Qian’s deep gaze towards the retreating figure of Yu Tianyang, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, wondering why Shen Qian looked at him so seriously. Shen Qian said, “I want to go home, I’m done traveling.” That was the result of her long contemplation. Yu Ran was taken aback for a moment, then replied after a brief pause, “Okay, when the ship docks at the next port, we’ll leave.” Shen Qian gave a fleeting smile, “You can continue traveling.” “No, I also want to see our mom and the place that hid my Qian for so long.” Yu Ran smiled at her, his handsome face and gentle smile always warming Shen Qian’s heart. “Alright.”
Author’s Note: Rushed to finish at the last moment, will continue updating at dawn. =w= My dear readers, come out quickly, how can I, in my fiery enthusiasm, ignore such a cute bamboo like you? Chapter 41 – Together with Shen Qian, the Yu Tianyang family also disembarked. Rumors had it that Yu Tianyang was seriously ill. This had nothing to do with Shen Qian, but her heart couldn’t stay calm, feeling restless. Even on her first plane ride, she didn’t feel the novelty of a “country bumpkin entering the city.” She was lucky; this international first-class cabin allowed her to lie down comfortably, with electronically adjustable seats that could turn into a bed. There was also a private suite with a reclining seat, a mini bar, and a large LCD TV. It was a huge difference from the economy class seen on TV. Shen Qian couldn’t help but mutter, “The rich really live well. Money is truly a good thing.”
