Chapter 815 - It's Cold War Between Us
Chapter 815: It’s Cold War Between Us
It was a silent night.
There was a weird atmosphere in the Rose Castle on this day.
Ye Ling had been recuperating for this period of time. He spent most of his time reading in the living room. The three of them had good chemistry. At night, they would spend a few hours together. Ye Ling would read, Tong Hua would revise on his work, and Shen Qianshu would be looking at design works.
Burger would curl up around Tong Hua’s feet. Occasionally, Ye Ling would make it go to him and stroke its fur. The father and son would squabble. It was always lively.
However, this night, the living room was really silent. It was as if no one was in it.
Tong Hua slept early. He had always lived his life very orderly. By 12 am, he would be deeply asleep. Shen Qianshu could not sleep, and she started at the face of her son, who was in deep sleep. No matter how she tried, she could not take her eyes off of him. Luckily, he had been by her side for all these years. She had raised him well.
Burger rested on Tong Hua’s pillow and snored.
In the castle, it was quiet.
There was a nice aroma in the air.
Ye Ling opened the door silently, and Shen Qianshu opened her eyes to look at him. Her vision darted to Tong Hua. In fact, she had lied to Tong Hua. She was rather mad. She had gone through so much to have Tong Hua. For all these years, she had raised him up properly with her heart and soul.
Yet, she was told that Ye Ling did not like him.
She knew that Ye Ling was rather emotionless and that he invested all his feelings on her. To Ye Yifan and Ye Tingjun, he did not seem to have many feelings for them either, but she just could not understand him. She could not feel comforted at all.
He liked their son.
Ye Ling walked over and looked at her in a condescending manner.
“Go back.”
“No!” Shen Qianshu looked up at him. “Master, I’m not kidding. I am really mad.”
It’s just that she did not want Tong Hua to know.
“What’s there to be mad about?”
“Why don’t you like him?” Shen Qianshu asked. “I’ve been raising him so painstakingly. In these past few years, if I had even given up in the slightest bit, he would not be able to live. Do you know how afraid I am? If I had cared about my dignity back then and not begged for anyone’s help, Tong Hua might not even be alive today. If I made a wrong move back then and did not go along with this, he might have died. Today, I finally know the truth. Do you think I can continue living?”
Ye Ling was silent. He gave off a really cold feeling. Other than Shen Qianshu, he did not like anyone. Even if it was his son. He hated anyone who would take away Shen Qianshu’s love from him. Lin Xiaojuan, Tong Hua… He did not like a single one of them.
Logically speaking, Lin Xiaojuan and Tong Hua were the ones who were everything to her.
Yet, logic did not exist here.
Shen Qianshu looked at him intently. “If Tong Hua was a girl, would you like him?”
“I don’t know.”
But he isn’t!
He could not answer questions that had an ‘if.’
“Master, do you dislike Tong Hua because…”
You never treated Tong Hua as your own son?
You have been hanging on to life because of a little princess, but deep down, you had never thought that this would be your child. You hate children, don’t you? Shen Qianshu did not dare to ask further, and she could not either.
This was Ye Ling’s weak spot. It could make him explode.
He disliked kids. It was because… he felt that the child was not his. It belonged to another Ye Ling. They were two separate people. They did not acknowledge the presence of one another. These two people were conflicting people. Yet, to Shen Qianshu, they were the same person.
This was a forbidden topic. She lowered her head, not daring to let Ye Ling see her emotions. Yet, she could feel a tinge of sadness lingering in the air.
