Stop There, Daddy

“No one else can cheer you up, except you. Baobao is too little to know how to do that either, but he’ll worry about you if he sees you,” He Siming said blandly. Upon hearing that, Wen Shuyue felt warm while her eyes flashed with a moved look.

She tried hard to calm herself down before she said with a light smile, “Anyway, thank you so much. I’ll be strong for the sake of Baobao.”

“Um…” He Siming responded ans said a few words before he left with Guan Yue.

Soon, the news about He Siming meeting Wen Shuyue in her office was reported to Gu Ning. Upon hearing He Siming’s name, Gu Ning got furious.

“What did he see her for?” Gu Ning looked normally calm on the outside while he felt jealous on the inside.

The secretary said with hesitation, “I heard people say that Mr. He went to comfort Miss Wen after he heard about the rumor. That’s all I know.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

But that already proved many things.

Gu Ning was smart enough to figure out how He Siming felt for Wen Shuyue, which was quite obvious. However, Gu Ning had not a clue how Wen Shuyue felt for He Siming. If Wen Shuyue and He Siming had feelings for each other, then…

“You may get out. Don’t let the cat out of the bag.” Gu Ning caressed his temples to soothe the headache. Ever time he thought about this, he racked his mind.

If he could have figured out how he felt for Wen Shuyue, things between them might be different. But it was hard for him to change the situation now.

As for Wen Shuyue, she felt much better and buckled down to work after He Siming comforted her.

Xiaolu couldn’t believe her eyes. When Wen Shuyue had a break, Xiaolu went to talk to her, “Miss Wen, I think both Mr. He and Mr. Gu are so nice to you. They seem to concern about you quietly. No, directly.”

“Do they?” Wen Shuyue couldn’t help frowning slightly, not feeling that Gu Ning cared about her.

It made sense that He Siming cared about Wen Shuyue, which couldn’t be denied, since they were connected as Wen Baobao’s parents. He Siming wouldn’t want to see his son feel sad because his mother felt so. However, Gu Ning only capitalized on Wen Shuyue in business, from which she couldn’t tell Gu Ning cared about her.

“Yeah, they do concern about you a lot. Rumor has it that they’re fighting over you,” Xiaolu said excitedly. After all, Xiaolu would never have such a legendary life as Wen Shuyue did.

Wen Shuyue was rendered speechless immediately.

People now had more interest in rumors than making money. They had better spend time thinking about their future rather than other people’s business.

Wen Shuyue caressed her forehead to soothe the headache. She really had no idea of what to do under so much pressure from all those rumors.

Finally, it was the end of work. Wen Shuyue sneaked to the prison to persuade her father to tell her the truth.

“Yueyue, let’s just drop it. I won’t tell you anyway,” Wen Long insisted on keeping the secret to himself.

Wen Shuyue had received the same response for the last couple of days. She stamped on her feet and said angrily, “Dad, will you please stop being like that? Do you think someone would kill me in this peaceful days? Why don’t you just tell me the secret? Once you do so, I’ll find a way to get you out of the prison.”

Apart from his appearance, Wen Long was nothing like he used to be. Wen Shuyue couldn’t believe that this coward was her father who used to be a business talent with a smart brain.

If things went on like this, there was no way Wen Shuyue could help her father since no one would trust her without a solid evidence.

“Sometimes things are not that simple as you imagine and people are not that good as you imagine either. Yueyue, you don’t have much experience to understand everything. If you’re pushed to the bottom by the one you trust most, you’ll find how dangerous the world is,” Wen Long said with his eyes closed painfully when some sad memories came to his mind.

Wen Shuyue sneered, “Dad, do you have any idea how I spent the last few years? People insulted me for I raised my son alone. I lost my parents, my friends, my husband and everything! All I have is my son and he doesn’t even know who his father is. Dad, don’t you think it’s enough?”

“Yueyue, I…”

Astonished by her answer, Wen Long gawked at his daughter speechlessly. Apparently, he never expected that she had gone through so much.

A little later, Wen Long came to his senses and talked to himself, “This can’t be true. They promised to take good care of you. Why did they do that to you?”

“They never keep their promise. Don’t trust them. They’ve hurt me so much, Dad. So please, tell me everything and I’ll help you,” Wen Shuyue persuaded.

All that she wanted now was to get her father out of prison because she didn’t want to lose him.

Wen Long gave it a thought, lowering his head silently, and then he said with a deep breath, “Just go back home. I need to think it over. I’ll let you know my decision.”

“OK. Have a good rest, Dad. I’ll come again.” Wen Shuyue stopped pushing her father for she didn’t want to put too much pressure on him.

The moment she left the prison, she ran into an acquaintance.

“Isn’t she the mother of your classmate Wen Baobao? So the rumor is true that Baobao’s father is a prisoner,” said the mother of Wen Baobao’s classmate.

The little boy nodded and said excitedly, “Yeah, exactly. I can insult him with this and he’ll never dare to bully me again.”

“What? Does he often bully you? This is bad. A prisoner cannot have a good son. Let’s go to meet you teacher now.”
