Chapter 585: You Must Be Here to Take Me Home

Yun Jinping accepted the gift and ushered them into the house while feeling a lump in her throat and a swell in her eyes. Their son was heartbreakingly too good to them.

Yu Yuanxi looked around the room but did not see Shen Xi. After a quick question, he found out that she was at the office and the audition for Screenwriter Cloud Seven’s latest TV series was going on.

Having heard from Yun Jinping that Yu Yuanxi was back, Shen Xi wrapped things up and told Yu Yuanxi that she was going home. Prior to leaving, she went to the music division to call Shen Tang, but the latter was at a crucial point of working on Glitzy Girl’s latest album with Qi Xiu. Shen Tang would be home late.

“Tangtang, don’t stay up too late,” Shen Xi informed her.

“Got it.” Shen Tang turned back to smile and waved her off. “Be careful on the road. Give me a call once you’re home.”

“Okay.” In a rush to get home, Shen Xi responded and walked out of the music studio. It so happened she ran into Yu Qiubai. Stopping at her tracks, she looked at him warily. “What are you doing here?”

Yu Qiubai showed her the items in his hands while narrowing his foxy eyes with a smile. “I’m here to deliver something to your cousin.”

Shen Xi’s gaze fell on a few pots of succulents. The thickened, fleshy, and engorged plants were adorable. She gave him a look to talk elsewhere.

The d*mn foxy was playing dumb to her question. Since when was he close to Shen Tang?

Yu Qiubai compliantly went with her.

“Yu Qiubai, what’s the meaning of this?” Shen Xi went straight to the point.

The d*mn fox had a bag of tricks that spelled trouble. He would have what was coming for him if he ever pulled a fast one on Shen Tang.

“I won’t hurt her.” Aware of what was on Shen Xi’s mind, Yu Qiubai looked into her eyes. “Shen Xi, I think you know me long enough and better than anyone else. Have I ever done anything to put you in harm’s way? Have I ever spilled your secrets?”

“Shen Tang is different.” Shen Xi appeared solemn, and her eyes resolute. “I’ll never allow anyone with an ulterior motive to hurt her.”

Shen Tang had it rough in both this and her previous life. If a man had to be in her life, it must be someone who would treat her like a princess and give the world to her.

Shen Xi was not certain if Yu Qiubai was the right man for Shen Tang. Too cunning for his own good, Yu Qiubai would never let anyone near his heart. Shen Xi did not believe a word coming out of his mouth.

“I know she’s different.” Yu Qiubai sighed and curled a bitter smile. “Shen Xi, do you know the feeling of being secretly in love with someone? Can you hold yourself back from looking for Toffeecito’s dad?”

Yu Qiubai was no stranger to Toffeecito’s dad. All of the international class students knew about Toffeecito’s dad. He got the lowdown hanging out a lot with the bunch.

He gave it a lot of thought and even told himself to stay away from Shen Tang since the latter’s innocence and kindness made it apparent that they were from two different worlds.

For this reason, Yu Qiubai had been pulling himself back, albeit the mere thought of Shen Tang sent butterflies to his stomach.

The other day, Yu Qiubai came across Shen Tang crossing the road with a white cane when a car suddenly lost control. Everyone was running away and shouting, but there was nothing she could see or do about it.

He knew she had sensed danger and panic, yet she was at a loss of what to do apart from moving ahead. Watching as Shen Tang was knocked onto the ground by the trampling crowd and the car was headed her way, his mind turned blank, and his instincts took over to get up there and protect her.

Her shaking body from extreme fear filled his senses. He could also feel his heart beating out of his chest along with the aftershock, dread, and relief that came after.

Yu Qiubai made up his mind then and there that he would be her eyes for the rest of her life.

He thought he could stamp out his emotions. Alas, Yu Qiubai was defeated by himself; knowing well he could no longer suppress his feelings and his heart.

Hence, Yu Qiubai decided to let go of his god*mn reason and follow his heart.

Shen Xi wanted to blurt out that she and he were not the same, but what was different about them if she thought about it? She looked at Yu Qiubai. “Yu Qiubai, are you for real?”

“Shen Xi, I swear to you on my life and my mother’s life that I’ll never hurt your cousin or make her cry.” Yu Qiubai’s eyes reflected a strong will.

“Got it.” It never crossed Shen Xi’s mind that he would put it in such a way. She might have her doubts if he was swearing on his life since no truth ever came out of the d*mn fox’s mouth. However, she had faith since his mother was involved.

The only person he cared for in this world was his mother. The weight of the pledge was so heavy, it left Shen Xi in shock.

“I have not won over Shen Tang’s heart.” As Shen Xi was leaving, Yu Qiubai added, “Shen Xi, don’t go bad-mouthing about me in front of your cousin!”

Shen Tang always thought of him as a younger brother and treated him as such. Although he was mature for his age, she did not see him as a man. Age was not something Yu Qiubai could control. If only he was born two years earlier, he would make the cut as her perfect mate.

“As if I have the time.” Shen Xi looked back and gave him an eye roll and a slice to the neck. “I’ll come for your *ss if you ever make Shen Tang sad.”

Shen Xi was not going to stop Shen Tang from seeing anyone. Shen Tang had her freedom and rights after all. Shen Xi would support her as long as it was not a bad guy.

If Yu Qiubai was serious about it, he made a good candidate due to his unchanging patience and attentiveness for his mother.

Yu Qiubai watched Shen Xi disappear out of sight before taking off.

Getting into the lift, Shen Xi was lost in her thoughts about Yu Qiubai and Shen Tang. Shen Tang might not pick him even if Yu Qiubai went after her. It was all up to destiny.

While in a trance the moment the lift opened, Shen Xi heard an excited scream and soon she was pulled in for a hug.

Hot with emotions, Song Wenye was sparkling in the eyes. “Xixi, are you here for me? Our flight was half an hour late. You must be here to take me home.”

Shen Xi pushed her away in disdain. “No.”

“Liar! Mrs. Shen invited me for dinner.” Song Wenye then dragged her out and happily introduced her to Ye Weiyang and the rest. “This is Shen Xi, my best friend.”

Tong Kejun and the lot had heard about Shen Xi before. She was the famous student of Shu Baiyu and Jiang Yin, but Song Wenye also would not stop talking about everything else about her anyway.

Ye Weiyang looked at Shen Xi with a hint of wonder in her eyes. There was just something familiar about Shen Xi..
