Chapter 513 - I Promise To Never Marry Ye Ling
That year, when Gu Yuanli spoke of wanting her to comply to one condition, she had even thought that he would want her to marry her. Even if that was the case, she was willing to do so. Throughout their interactions, the way he looked at her was really hard to decipher. Sometimes, he seemed to admire her; sometimes, he seemed to love her; sometimes, he even seemed to… despise her!
The only thing that she had not predicted was that she would fall in love with Ye Ling someday and even reach this state.
“You don’t have to give me a reply now,” Gu Yuanli said.
“I can give you an answer now.” Shen Qianshu smiled. Her smile was clear and bright like a flower at dawn. “Shifu, I promise you that I will never marry Ye Ling. As long as you don’t harm my family, I will stick to my words for life.”
Gu Yuanli’s face seemed to darken a little, and he seemed to become a little cold for some reason. Despite so, he still spoke with a smile. “Little Shu, you don’t trust Shifu?”
“Shifu, I am 25 this year, turning 26 in a few months’ time. I have a 7-year-old child who means everything to me. For the past twenty odd years, I’ve seen too much about humanity. Husbands and wives breaking apart, mother and daughter turning into enemies. No matter how close two people are, hiccups may always occur. I have been through a lot of difficulties, and I’ve learned that if you treat people well, they will definitely treat you well. Shifu had saved me in my worst times and saved Tong Hua. There was something wrong with the heart transplant back then, and Tong Hua almost didn’t make it through. You were the one who got a professional from abroad to help him so that his body would accept his brother’s heart. Although the doctor had made it clear that Tong Hua may not live for long, I had been very lucky for all these years. Shifu, you and I are like father and daughter. I will not distrust you. I just hope to feel better.”
Anyway, Master won’t marry me. No big deal!
What’s the big deal?
She was willing to live without status and name.
“Okay!” Gu Yuanli said and smiled. “Shifu promises you!”
“Great, if Shifu doesn’t harm anyone in my family, I will never marry Ye Ling. If I break the promise… I’ll be a miserable loner for life!”
Gu Yuanli laughed. “There’s no need to curse yourself. Shifu believes that you are a person who sticks to your words.”
“I just want to feel better. Naturally, Shifu would feel better too.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
After that, Gu Yuanli sent Shen Qianshu back to BG. Gu Yuanli sat in his car and watched as she drove away in her own car.
“Second Master, would Miss listen to you?”
“Rebellious nature. I wonder who she takes after.” Gu Yuanli smiled. “She had better listen!”
Shen Qianshu drove home with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Along the way home, she was hit by a domestic off-road car.
The owner of the car was a young lad. He looked like someone who had just met the real world in society. Seeing Shen Qianshu’s luxury car, he broke into a cold sweat. “I’m so sorry, Miss. So sorry. Oh… What should I do.”
He spoke in a very erudite manner and gave off the impression of a charming lad.
Shen Qianshu replied. “It’s fine. I’ll handle it.”
The front of her car was slightly dented. Sending this for repairs could cost him five times the price of the car he was driving. As such, Shen Qianshu did not want to make things difficult for him.
The young lad was really sincere. “Miss, leave me your phone number. I-I…”
“You want to pay for my repairs?” Shen Qianshu was not in a good mood, so her tone was a little harsh and cold. If it were a usual day, the social butterfly would not have been so harsh on people who were just being friendly.
The young lad hesitated and felt awkward. He did not know what to do.
“Do you want my phone number or do you want to pay for my repairs? Pick one.”
Eventually, the young lad walked away. Then, Shen Qianshu took a deep breath and drove on. When she passed by her favorite dessert stall, she bought some desserts. When she finally returned home, Ye Ling was in the living room with Burger next to him. Burger was a type of cat that would go anywhere others went. Meanwhile, Ye Ling was sat on the sofa reading a thick book. This person was always reading when he was not working. A real smart guy!
