Shen Shimin nodded and straightened the girl’s skirt. “Don’t mind it this time. But in the future, if mom left you for something, you should stay at where you are and don’t talk to any stranger, do you understand?”

The girl said “yes” with a soft voice.

Shen Shimin looked up at the man who had been standing silently beside her. “Wei Qing, let’s go. That teacher just asked us to play games with them.”

Wei Qing gathered his mind and bent over to give the marshmallow in his hand to the little girl. “Selina, you can go to the teacher first. Your uncle and mother will be there with you soon after.”

The little girl took the marshmallow and had a bite. “Ok. Daddy please come a little quicker.” After that, she turned around, ran and hopped to where the teachers and classmates were gathered together as a group.

Wei Qing frowned and looked at the back of the girl. “Why did Selina suddenly call me dad?”

Shen Shimin blinked her eyes around and she stammered, “Children are born to be active. She has noticed that other children have fathers, so she didn’t want to be mocked by others. I think that’s why she called you dad. Don’t mind her.”

Wei Qing sighed and fixed his collar. He put his hand in his pocket and said, “What are your plans now?”

Shen Shimin lowered her eyes, “I have no plans. Since the court has decided that I should raise the child, I will do my best to raise her well.”

Wei Qing nodded and said in a deep voice, “You’re still young. There is no need to feel unfortunate. You will meet someone who treats you with a kind heart.”

Shen Shimin clenched her fists, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, “Wei Qing, so … there is really no possibility left between us?”

“I’m sorry,” Wei Qing said expressionlessly, “What happened in the past had already passed. I agreed to attend this parent-child event today merely because I feel pitiful for Selina.  I had no other thoughts. I hope you won’t misunderstand my intention.”

Shen Shimin’s eyes turned red. “Do you have someone else you love?”

“No.” Wei Qing answered without hesitation.

“That’s impossible,” hatred suddenly appeared in Shen Shimin’s eyes. “If there is no one you love, why would you be so ruthless all the sudden? Wei Qing, I know you very well. You are not someone who would change so easily. Unless you meet someone who makes you put down your past willingly, you won’t be so determined to leave me!”

Wei Qing said impatiently, “Now you are just making assumptions with nothing. I have told you there is no one I love.”

Shen Shimin pursed her lips and had a deep breath, “It is because of Yan Chuyang, isn’t it? You like him, so you don’t even give me a chance.

Wei Qing’s eyebrows narrowed and his jaw tightened as he roared, “Nonsense!”

Seeing that he overreacted about it, Shen Shimin smiled unwillingly, “I also hope what I said was nonsense as well.”

Wei Qing calmed down and looked at the girl. “Let’s go. The child will be anxious if she can’t see her mother.”

Shen Shimin nodded and walked toward the group of children with the man on her side.

It was already three in the afternoon after attending the parent-child event with Shen Shimin.

Wei Qing didn’t go back to the company. Instead, he headed straight to Yan Chuyang’s school.

He had been worrying about Yan Chuyang since he saw how frustrated Chuyang was in the park this morning. He wanted to call Chuyang many times. However, he didn’t now what to say because Shen Shimin was beside him, so he never called Chuyang.

Worrying that Yan Chuyang might be frightened, Wei Qing didn’t call him at last. He sneaked to the art room where Yan Chuyang often went to. However, this time, the room was empty. Nothing or no one was there except for a few drawing boards.

Without any choice, he gave Wei Yuan a call.

“Hello?” He could tell Wei Yuan deliberately lowered his voice.

“Where are you?” Wei Qing asked in a low voice.

“Ah, Bro, I’m in the library reading with my girlfriend right now.”

Wei Qing frowned, “Have you seen Yan Chuyang this afternoon? Why isn’t he at the drawing room?

“Oh, you mean Chuyang? He went back to the dorm in the afternoon and he did not look very well. I asked him about what had happened, but he didn’t answer me. He went to sleep right away after that. Bro, do you know… Hello? Hello? ”

Wei Qing hung up the phone and rushed to Yan Chuyang’s dorm.

He knew where Yan Chuyang’s room was. He had come to the school to look for Yan Chuyang before, and he purposely went to have a look at Yan Chuyang’s dorm.

As soon as Wei Qing entered, the housekeeper approached him immediately to greet him with a smile, “You’re here to see your brother again.”

Wei Qing had no intention to chat with her, so he nodded politely and to ran up the stairs to the third floor.

Once he walked up the stairs, those housekeepers started to whisper to each other.

“That man loves his brother very much. Last time he gave the housekeeper department an envelope full of money, and asked us to take care of his brother when we are available.”

“Really? Such a good kid. He is so handsome and warm-hearted.”

“Yeah. He even told us if there is a girl coming her to look for his brother, just tell her that his brother isn’t here. He really wants his brother to focus on study rather than dating.”

“Wow, by the look of his clothes he must from a rich family, they must have strict family rules!”

“You don’t say. And his brother is also quite good-looking. He’s quiet and very polite,” those housekeepers made an exaggerated smile, “They look very suitable to each other, haha.”

Wei Qing ran up to the third floor and deliberately lightened his footsteps. He worried that Yan Chuyang would be disturbed by him if he was sleeping.

Third floor, 302, this was Yan Chuyang’s room.

The door wasn’t locked so he pushed it open.

However, Wei Qing frowned because he could smell strong alcohol once the door was opened.

There were four beds in the tiny room. Only the lower bunk that was in the corner of the room had someone sleeping in the quilt. The rest of the beds were clean and neat. No one else was there.

There were a few beer bottles on the floor. After walking inside there was a bottle for the white liquor on the bedside table. Another a small bottle of white liquor that was half gone was also on the table and the lid of the bottle was on the ground

Wei Qing approached the bed slowly and carefully, then lifted the quilt on the bed. When he saw the boy curled up like an injured little beast and lay there with a sad face, his heart pumped so hard and he felt sore and hurt in his heart as well.

“How are you now?” Wei Qing bent down and embraced the boy in his arms. He gently kissed the boy’s slightly hot lips and said with a heavy heart, “My poor boy, how could you make yourself like this?”

Yan Chuyang didn’t fall into a deep sleep. He noticed someone was approaching. and opened his eyes while his brain was still dreaming. When he saw the person in front of him, the feeling of sorrow climb up to his nose. “Wei Qing…” His voice was so hoarse.
