Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Ye Ling dragged Shen Qianshu to the villa. This was an extremely crowded area for villas, and they were grandeur and magnificent. A bunch of rich youth lived here, and this area was specially built to cater to their needs. They were all European style, and the further one goes in, the quieter it got.

The scenery was beautiful.

Enormous patches of grass were well kept and very tidy. The plants were placed with Feng Shui taken into account. About 1km away from the crowded areas, there were several small European-style villas. They were all pitch black as if it was a rich ghost town.

Shen Qianshu was dragged into the villa by Ye Ling, and he turned on the lights.

She had an unspeakable sense of fear.

Seven years ago, Butler Luther’s words still remained clearly in her ears.

Leave the castle before dark.

The night symbolized the devil and fear.

Right now, it was pitch black outside.

There was only him and her.

It was as if history was repeating itself.

Back then in that isolated castle, there was only him and her.

She was abused back then, and nobody came to her rescue.

With a heart full of fear of being violated, she could not find any comfort at all.

“Master?”

“Make me a meal!” Ye Ling hurried upstairs and Shen Qianshu took a deep breath. After all, he was a man of wisdom.

No worries, prepare a meal then hurry home .

Shen Qianshu did not dare to waste any time. In China folklore and horror stories, twelve o’clock at midnight was a curse.

For example, at twelve midnight, vampires transformed.

After twelve midnight, devils came out.

At twelve midnight, ghosts lurked around etc…

They were all stories made up to scare children.

But she did not dare to not believe in them.

It was dark, what if Master’s illness recurs?

Go along with him, don’t intimidate him.

This was what she concluded seven years ago.

The villa was well designed, but there was no sign of human life. Shen Qianshu was prepared to open the fridge to see only beers and instant noodles. She never thought that the fridge would be filled. She took out some ribs and steak. They were fresh and even tailored.

The vegetables and meat in there were nicer than the ones sold at the markets.

“Capitalist!” Shen Qianshu began on preparing the meal. PLOP! Just as she was about to cut the beef, a noise shocked Shen Qianshu, and she almost chopped off her fingers. A window in the kitchen was facing the big pool outside, and she could see Ye Ling swimming like a valiant military leader. The lighting outside was great, and the water was pure, which made his figure seem ever more…

Wow!

Straight into her heart!

He had a great V-shaped body, slim and long legs as well as perfect muscles. It was… tempting.

Ye Ling kept swimming, and Shen Qianshu did not dare to disrupt. She looked down and cooked, occasionally looking at him. While cooking, she could admire the handsome lad swimming which was really… pleasant to her eyes and her heart.

When Master keeps quiet, he’s really such a Prince Charming.

Ye Ling swam for forty minutes and exited the pool like a ferocious tiger. Shen Qianshu was admiring him when she received a phone call.

Tong Hua.

“Mummy, haven’t you knocked off yet?”

“Mummy’s still busy, are you home alone? Has Aunt Xiaojuan left?”

“Yeah, I’m alone. Mummy, have you eaten? I left some fried rice for you. I put sausages, chicken, corn, and peas. It’s really yummy!”

Shen Qianshu broke into a cold sweat, deeply feeling that she had let her son down.

“Babe, you’re so amazing. You cooked your own food?”

“Yeah, I wanted to wait for you so we could eat together, but I was too hungry.”

“Aww… how sad.”

Tong Hua laughed. “Mom, what time will you be back?”

“In about an hour. Don’t wait for me, go to bed if you’re sleepy.”

“Okay. Mummy don’t work too hard! I’ll support you.”
