Chapter 502: I Won’t Marry You

“I’ve been lurking around the underground casinos for years. Occasionally, I would meet Boss Qian, and we would go out and have some fun. He treated me like a member of Ghost City, and even so, these were all outsider information. They are not secrets.”

“So are you a member of Ghost City?”

“Of course not!” Shen Qianshu said. “I am Shen Qianshu, a BIG INFLUENCER!”

Ye Ling was speechless.

Shen Qianshu said, “Master, how did you know that uncle is a member of Ghost City?”

“Ah Da met him before,” Ye Ling said simply. “Shen Qianshu, most of the businessmen in Ghost City are distributors. This circle is very very small, and they pick the distributors very carefully too. There may be many people but never too much. Herbal distributing…”

He wanted to tell Shen Qianshu that distributing herbs was not as simple as it seems, but knowing about Shen Qianshu and Lin Xiaojuan’s close relationship and their connections with the Lin Family, he could not bear to.

He did not have to look into matters as long as people treated Shen Qianshu well.

Shen Qianshu was ambitious. Ghost City may not be considered as an illegal organization as they were somewhere in between black and white. They belonged to the gray area. Her understanding of the Ghost City was only limited to the outer circle, so she did not care much about what she knew.

“It’s getting late. Let’s sleep.”

It was time for her to be a pillow again.

Shen Qianshu had something in mind, and she was bothered by it. She was in Ye Ling’s arms, but she could not fall asleep. The fourth time Shen Qianshu flipped around in bed, Ye Ling pushed her waist and said, “Don’t move!”

“Master, there’s something that’s bothering me. I don’t know if I should ask.”

“Don’t ask if you know you shouldn’t. Sleep.”

“Why won’t you marry me?” she asked. Do you think I wouldn’t ask just because you told me not to? I insist on asking.

Silence.

In the darkness, only the beatings of the two hearts could be heard.

Shen Qianshu suddenly regretted her decision.

Ye Ling reached out and hugged her tightly. His chin was at the top of her head, and he kissed her lightly. So lightly that she did not sense it.

“Sleep!” He exclaimed.

Shen Qianshu, I am mentally ill. I have been battling for the past twenty odd years. I may have won all this while, but as I grow older, my illness will become increasingly severe. One day, I will be engulfed by it. I don’t wish for you to become another person’s wife, but if that day comes, please take Tong Hua away. Take him as far as you can, and never return.

The room was dead silent.

Their breathing became oddly slow and careful as if they were afraid of scaring something or someone. It was as if they were on thin ice.

In the darkness, Ye Ling’s eyes were dark and bright.

My big princess, please remember. if that day comes, don’t turn around. Don’t cry.

A devil that has fallen into the deep pits is not worth a single tear.

Please forgive me for being selfish. I know clearly that I can’t promise you with a future, and yet I forced us to be together.

He remained silent, and somehow, Shen Qianshu felt a tingling sensation. Her eyes watered, and she clenched her teeth. She leaned on his chest.

Master, don’t be sad.

I won’t ask again in the future.

That night was meant to be a night of insomnia.

The next morning, Tong Hua ate his corn and drank soy milk while he glanced at Ye Ling and Shen Qianshu with his pretty eyes. Zhong Ran and Ah Da could feel something. Something was odd about this atmosphere.

Miss Shen and Master don’t seem to look good.

Could it be that… someone’s lust was not fulfilled…?

“Mommy…”

Shen Qianshu looked at him. What’s wrong?

Tong Hua shook his head. The atmosphere was weird. It was better for him to remain as silent as a chicken.

Until Zhong Ran and Ye Ling left…

Tong Hua asked, “Mommy, did Burger cause trouble for you? Did it make Daddy unhappy?”
