Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Chapter 1091: Encounter (1)

Lin Shiyu returned to her own apartment. She had just given birth and she was not in a hurry to go back to songwriting yet.

Contrary to what others may have thought, she needed to spend a lot of time when writing a song. When she merely focused on taking care of Little Shushu, she felt relaxed and happy.

When she was at Houston University, she would occasionally give music lessons to some children. Listening to those children's unadulterated and pure singing voices made her feel peaceful.

This morning, she arrived at a kindergarten to teach. Auntie Su was helping to take care of Little Shushu. As Little Shushu was a quiet and obedient baby, he would not give Mama any trouble at all.

"Teacher Lin, these are the children in our kindergarten and they are talented in music, especially this little girl."

With that, the kindergarten teacher waved her hand and smiled amiably. "Little Lemon, come over here and greet Teacher Lin."

Lin Shiyu looked up and her pretty eyes landed on Little Lemon.

A year had passed and Little Lemon was one year older. She was now four years old. As she had already recovered from septicaemia, her hair had grown out. Her little face had grown to be more beautiful with her attractive features and her huge luminous eyes, making one yearn to hug and kiss her.

Today, Little Lemon was dressed in a white top with a butterfly knot tied at the top and a pink tutu skirt. She was wearing a pair of long striped socks and crystal shoes at her feet and she looked adorable.

Little Lemon looked at Lin Shiyu and smiled sweetly. "Teacher Lin, good day to you."

Lin Shiyu's heart went soft and suddenly she felt her nose tingle and her eyes became red. She felt like she was going to cry.

What was happening to her?

This little girl called Little Lemon made her feel like crying. Lin Shiyu promptly raised her eyes to curb her tears. She smiled and said gently, "Little Lemon, good day to you."

"Alright, all of you children learn well from Teacher Lin. Teacher Lin is immensely talented in music," the kindergarten teacher said with a smile.

…

Lin Shiyu taught the children a song and she discovered that Little Lemon learned exceptionally quickly.

"Little Lemon, come here, come to Teacher Lin." Lin Shiyu waved her hand.

Little Lemon promptly ran over and looked at Lin Shiyu with her huge luminous eyes. "Teacher Lin, are you calling me?"

Bending down, Lin Shiyu patted Little Lemon's head. "Little Lemon, have you learned music before?"

Little Lemon nodded. "Mm, I've learned before. My Mommy taught me."

Mommy…

Lin Shiyu froze a little. Little Lemon's Mommy must be very pretty and gentle, otherwise how could she raise a child like Little Lemon?

"Then do you know how to play any instrument?"

Little Lemon nodded. "I can play the piano."

"Did your Mommy teach you?"

"No, my Daddy taught me how to play the piano," Little Lemon said.

Lin Shiyu's luscious lashes quivered. Little Lemon's Daddy actually knew how to play the piano. There were many rich men in this world, but talented men were a rarity.

Little Lemon's Mommy could sing and Daddy could play the piano. The combination of the strong genes and education from her parents must have enabled Little Lemon to have such an impressive achievement in music at her young age.

"Little Lemon, Teacher likes you very much. Would you like to come to Teacher's house every day after class for a 40 minutes lesson? Of course, Little Lemon has to agree to it too."

"Teacher Lin, I agree!"

Little Lemon promptly wrapped her hands around Lin Shiyu's neck and lunged forward to kiss her Mommy's face. "Teacher Lin, I like you very much."

She snuggled in her Mommy's embrace.

She missed her Mommy so very much. Mommy smelled so good.

As Lin Shiyu hugged Little Lemon, she felt wetness on her cheeks from the two drops of tears that had fallen onto her face.

She was crying.

She was actually hugging this unfamiliar little girl and crying.

Why?

Her heart felt like it had been clutched tightly by a large palm and it ached so much. Every breath she took was so painful.

This half year, she had led a leisurely life in Houston while taking care of Little Shushu. She had slowed down her pace and her life was meaningful, yet relaxing.

But she always felt like there was a void in her heart. She felt as though she had abandoned the most important person in her life.

Sometimes when she opened her eyes in the morning, she felt her pillowcase was wet.

She did not know what was happening to her now. Now that she was hugging this little girl called Little Lemon, she felt her heart was full.

Lin Shiyu hugged Little Lemon tightly and her tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Little Lemon, Teacher Lin likes you very much too."

At this moment, she heard the kindergarten teacher's voice. "Mr Smithson, you are here to fetch Little Lemon?"

Someone had arrived.

Lin Shiyu promptly looked up and she saw the man through her vision blurred by her tears.

It was Fu Qinglun.

Today Fu Qinglun was wearing a tailored white shirt, which was ironed perfectly without any creases, and black trousers. His features had become more handsome and refined this half year, and the aristocratic aura he exuded was inexplicably charming.

It was uncertain when he had arrived as he had been standing by the door. The setting sun cast a golden hue on him, and he was looking down at her with one hand stuck in his pocket.

He was gazing intensely at her hugging Little Lemon and crying with tears streaming down her cheeks. When he did not move, he truly resembled a male model from the catwalk.

"Daddy, you're here?" Little Lemon immediately ran to Fu Qinglun and hugged her Daddy's leg.

Lin Shiyu rose and wiped her tear-stained face with her fair hands.

He must have seen her tears.

Why was it him again? Of course she recognized him, she had met him twice in Mexico half a year ago, he was Mr Gu's good friend. At the same time, he was married with a daughter.

She had never imagined that Little Lemon was his daughter.

The scene of their last encounter half a year ago surfaced in her mind. He had kissed her and she had slapped him viciously. Both of them had parted on bad terms.

She still remembered his grim countenance and the image of him kicking the dustbin afterwards.

Lin Shiyu promptly wiped her tears. At this moment, she heard Little Leon's adorable voice. "Teacher Lin, let me introduce you to my Daddy. Isn't my Daddy tall and handsome?"

Instead of responding, Lin Shiyu's pretty face was devoid of any expression as she gave a small smile. "Little Lemon's Daddy, good day to you."

Fu Qinglun's eyes met her reddened eyes, but chose not to comment further. Bending down, he picked up Little Lemon with one arm, all the while exuding a gentle warmth. "Little Lemon, let's go home."

He carried Little Lemon and turned around to leave. Lin Shiyu saw that he was followed by a personal assistant and there was a limited edition luxurious car parked outside the kindergarten, attracting the attention of the other parents who had come to pick up their children.
