Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Panda Novel

Shen Qianshu saw that Shan Ning’s gaze was always on Mu Yuan’s room. She felt slightly puzzled, so she drew the blinds and walked back to Ye Ling’s bedside. “Master, I feel that… Jack, Mu Yuan, and Shan Ning’s relationship with each other is quite unusual. Do you know what’s going on?”

“I’m not sure!” Ye Ling said. He and Mu Yuan were close brothers, and he had roughly heard Mu Yuan mentioning Shan Ning before. Shan Ning was Mu Yuan’s childhood friend, and they literally grew up together. They even went to the army together, although they were from different types of armed forces. Both of them came from reputable families and had similar aspirations. However, he had almost never heard Mu Yuan mention Jack before. Ye Ling was also not very familiar with Jack. Even though they were working together this time and he was in his house now, they were only acquaintances.

Regarding their matters, he was also not interested!

On the other hand, Shen Qianshu loved to gossip. “Does Mu Yuan have a girlfriend?”

“Yes!”

Shen Qianshu’s eyes widened, and she cried out in surprise. “Really?”

Didn’t seem like it!!

Ye Ling stared at her intently. “Why are you so interested in him?”

“I am interested in all kinds of gossip. How does his girlfriend look like? Is she beautiful?”

“No one has seen her before. When he was eighteen, he started saying that he was attached, but he had not once brought her out before. He kept boasting that she was a dazzling beauty.” Ye Ling explained. Mu Yuan boasted that he had a girlfriend for many years, and he was really serious about it. Hence, everyone agreed that he had a long-distance relationship, the kind of long-distance and platonic relationship. Everybody was just thinking of when they would break up.

“You have been lying in bed these few days. From what I observed, I feel that he and Jack have a kind of… unexplainable unusualness.” Shen Qianshu noted. Little angel’s gossip intuition was extremely sensitive. “They have great chemistry and are very intimate!”

Ye Ling was not interested at all.

What did his brother’s lover have to do with him? When he married, he would just give him a red packet.

But seeing Shen Qianshu’s excited manner, he reluctantly went along with her.

“That’s impossible!”

“Why?”

“Jack is an officer from the United States Marine Corps. He might become President Anderson a few years later. Mu Yuan is born in our country’s military-political family, and he will become a Prime Minister too. Even if they have something going on, it will come to an end too. Since they clearly know the outcome, why will they seek for trouble?”

Shen Qianshu did not think that Jack had such an impressive background. Her heart skipped a beat. With this, it seemed like there was a great natural barrier between the two of them. This barrier would forever be blocking them and would be impossible to leap over.

Ye Ling calmly said, “So, your intuition is wrong. I’m not really well acquainted with Jack, but he does not seem like someone who would throw himself into trouble.”

“Master, you are so intellectual!” Shen Qianshu said and looked at him. “Even if they know clearly there is no outcome, can’t they love each other? If it were you and you know clearly that there would be no outcome, would you be prepared to leave anytime?”

Master, then what about us?

Your illness is actually also your psychological illness. You know that we have no outcome too. You are worried that you will not live for long, but you never once talked about your worries and never once talked about the future.

Is it because you know clearly that there is no future for us too?

Ye Ling slightly closed his eyes and masked away all his emotions.

“Yeah!”

“Oh!” Shen Qianshu said and gritted her teeth. “That’s what a jerk would do!”

Ye Ling opened his eyes and looked at Shen Qianshu but did not respond.

Shen Qianshu said, “Since you already know the outcome and are prepared to leave anytime, why did you give people hope at the start? We might as well go our own ways right from the start without bothering each other. Isn’t that better!”
