Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Ye Ling tilted his head and looked at her. Under the moonlight, Shen Qianshu’s face was pale, tender, and beautiful. Light reflected off it like jelly. But her eyes were very determined as if there was rooted duckweed in it. Ye Ling paused and said, “The Ye Family has a tradition. Inheritance is passed to the eldest son and eldest grandson. Whatever everyone else gets depends on the mood of the person who got the inheritance. Furthermore, the Ye Family is large, so relations are complicated. There are tons of people who wish I don’t have a child.”

It was a simple explanation, and Shen Qianshu understood. What an innocent disaster.

Ye Ling explained clearly that Tong Hua should not be in any more danger.

“The traditions in your family are weird. In the feudal dynasty of China, there is a tradition of passing on to the able and worthy instead of the eldest. Why does your family pass on to the eldest child?”

“The Ye Family is one that has been around for hundreds of years. It has gone through all sorts of s**t. This tradition was started hundreds of years ago and slowly developed. The reason is a little complicated, but this tradition is rather great. It has prevented several problems from occurring and helped unite the Ye Family.”

“If it helped in uniting the Ye Family, why is it that this generation doesn’t want you to have a child?”

Because I’m an illegitimate child.

I don’t have the right to!

Ye Ling stopped walking. The moonlight shone on his amber eyes. He concealed his feelings. A storm was brewing in his eyes, and the atmosphere had instantly become dangerous and sullen. Shen Qianshu did not know what she had said wrong.

Ye Ling never replied. He just walked silently, and Shen Qianshu could only catch up with him.

They approached the hotel. Tong Hua went to play with Zhong Ran. Apparently, Zhong Ran had told him interesting stories that he was very engrossed in. Shen Qianshu thought that her son was so easily cheated away like that.

Ye Ling returned to the hotel and was gone.

He had secretly upgraded all their rooms to presidential suites.

The hotel offered a Turkish bath experience. Zhong Ran brought Tong Hua with him to experience it. Shen Qianshu bathed in her room and rested in the living room like a dried salted fish, sending a text to her group chat with her friends. Her phone suddenly vibrated, and Shen Qianshu saw that it was a message from Li Zhiyuan.

Li Zhiyuan replied the moment she sent the text in the group.

Li Zhiyuan: Off to Turkey for fun?

Shen Qianshu: Yeah, it’s been a few days.

Li Zhiyuan: I went out. There’s no signal in the ravines.

Shen Qianshu furrowed her eyebrows and remembered. The Li Zhiyuan that vowed to pursue her had disappeared for a while, yet she never noticed much about it. She saw it as a stupid game that rich second-generation heirs played when they were bored, and hearing that did not make her feel much.

Li Zhiyuan: I’m free now, I’ll fly to Istanbul to meet you guys tmr. You didn’t mention about going to play, what a friend! I’m very familiar with Istanbul.

Shen Qianshu: Prince Li, we are returning in two days.

Li Zhiyuan: So soon?

Shen Qianshu: Yeah.

Li Zhiyuan: Invite me the next time you go on a trip, I can be your tour guide.

Shen Qianshu: In our family, Tong Hua call the shots.

Li Zhiyuan: That’s easy. He likes me.

Shen Qianshu thought, Tong Hua has found someone else and went with Zhong Ran. She could not see him anywhere and had no idea where he was. Li Zhiyuan noticed that she did not reply, so he did not bother her anymore. Shen Qianshu changed into a long dress and walked out onto the balcony.

They were on a high floor, and the view was great. She could see the Blue Mosque nearby and the Hagia Sophia as well. They were grandeur wonders of the world. She felt strange being alone in the room and opened up her WeChat to ask Ye Ling after some pondering.

Shen Qianshu: Master, where’s my son.

Ye Ling: Sold him away as a slave.

“…” Shen Qianshu stared at the screen blankly.

Simply cruel!
