Chapter 1193: I Want to Make You Stay (71)

“Back then, Xiao Chenyang made me not interfere in your matters apart from those related to work. He didn’t want me to be involved in this, so I wasn’t in a position to tell you anything. The reason why he didn’t tell you was that he wanted you to like him back before he told you about it. If you didn’t take a liking to him, he didn’t want to use this matter to give you pressure or force you to stay with him. You see, didn’t he let go of you already? He’s intending to remove the curse of devotion from himself as well.”

“Curse of devotion… what’s that?”

“It’s a type of curse,” An Xiaoning explained. “I’m not sure about the details, but I heard from him that he had put it on himself so that he’ll be attracted to you solely for an eternity. That is also the reason why he can find you accurately.”

“For an eternity…” Fang Erlan murmured. “He’s intending to remove the curse?”

“Yes. But there’s not much hope about it. He says he’ll try his best.”

Fang Erlan’s heart sank. At this moment, a voice in her heart continued to tell her, “Don’t… don’t… don’t remove it…”

“Sis Xiaoning, what should I do?”

“Just follow your heart. Be with whoever you love and want to see every day. Whoever you’re thinking of every day and want to be with every single moment of the day. Other people wouldn’t know about it, but don’t you yourself know?”

Fang Erlan’s heart instantly began to feel at ease.

The answer seemed to have appeared in her heart.

From this moment onwards, she was not flustered anymore.

“Sis, I already know.”

“You know?” An Xiaoning’s voice was filled with a gentle warmth. “Erlan, I know you haven’t been in a relationship before and don’t have a clear view of matters about it, but if you don’t know what you want, I’m sure you should know what you don’t want, right? Be it Yan Ge or Xiao Chenyang, both of them are extremely outstanding. This is your own matter, so you should decide for yourself.”

“I’ve disturbed you so late at night. Sis Xiaoning, you should sleep soon.”

“Okay. You should sleep earlier too.”

Fang Erlan hung up the phone and slumped in her bed.

“Bao’er!” Shi Shaochuan shouted toward the track from a distance away.

Shi Bao’er, who was doing her morning run, heard his call and immediately ran toward him.

“Daddy, you’ve come to see me.”

“Daddy’s here to pick you up.” Shi Shaochuan lowered his head and said to her, “Come, let’s go home.”

Shi Bao’er was, of course, filled with happiness. “Daddy, you’re finally here to pick me up. I’m dying of boredom in here.”

“Daddy has been… rather busy lately. I’m picking you up this time because I have something to tell you.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Bao’er’s face immediately fell. She knew that what her Daddy wanted to say would definitely not be anything good.

“Is it that you’ve found another stepmother for me?!” She looked at him furiously. “If that’s the case, then, I’m not going back with you.”

“You…” Shi Bao’er responded, “Your mother has already gotten remarried to another man and is even pregnant now. Why can’t Daddy do the same? Bao’er, how can you do this to Daddy?”

Shi Bao’er pouted her lips. “I’m not living with my mother in the future anyway… The previous time when she picked me up, she sent me back here within two days.”

“Bao’er, the previous time, you sneaked out of the house onto a van and made us search high and low for you. Since that incident is already over, Daddy won’t hold it against you. In the future, you should stay out of Daddy’s matters too. This time, Daddy’s bringing you back mainly because I’m getting married. If you don’t wreak havoc, I’ll bring you along to attend it. If you show me now that you’re going to wreak havoc, you should just stay here at the training camp. Anyway, Daddy has already told you what I wanted to say.”

“Married?” Shi Bao’er was completely appalled. “You’re getting married?”

“Yes, Daddy’s getting married.” Shi Shaochuan looked at her with a grin. “This Auntie has an exceptionally good temper. She’ll be very nice to you and treat you better than your biological mother does.”

Tears were gushing down Shi Bao’er’s face instantly as she cried, “You and Mommy both have your own families now. What am I, then?”

“How can you say it like this? If you’re obedient from now on and don’t cause any trouble, you’ll always be Daddy and Mommy’s precious daughter.”

Shi Bao’er did not believe a single word he said.

However, at the thought of her daddy’s words that he wouldn’t bring her if she wreaks havoc, she replied, “Daddy, I won’t wreak havoc, so bring me home.”

“Promise Daddy.”

“I promise you, Daddy,” Shi Bao’er answered with a serious expression on her face.

Shi Shaochuan remained doubtful toward her. After all, he knew that his daughter could come up with many funny ideas. He was thinking that when he got married, he could just hire someone to take care of her.

When she got into the car, Shi Bao’er grabbed onto the sides of the car seat and asked, “Daddy, are you getting married today?”

“Tomorrow. Today, I’ll bring you back to get to know your Auntie first.”

“Then, Daddy, how did you get to know this Auntie?”

“I knew her through a blind date.” Shi Shaochuan went on, “Daddy’s getting on in age too. There’s only you and me at home, don’t you find that a little quiet? Look at your mommy, she’s living a happy life herself. Daddy can’t possibly live the rest of my life by myself, right?”

“Yes, Daddy. You’re right.”

Shi Shaochuan turned and took a glance at her, feeling that she had suddenly turned sensible. But it had come so suddenly that he felt rather uneasy about it.

After they reached the Shi residence, he held onto Bao’er’s hand as he took her into the living room.

Shi Bao’er looked into the living room and saw a rather pretty lady sitting on the sofa. Seeing that they were back, the woman stood up.

“Bao’er, this is your Auntie Wen.”

Wen Lele greeted her with a warm grin, “Aiya, Bao’er is such a pretty girl.”

“Hi, Auntie.” Shi Bao’er made a rather rare gesture of greeting her.

“Hi, hi.” Seeing that this child was a girl who looked rather obedient and wasn’t very old as well, Wen Lele could not stop grinning.

“I’ll go to the hotel first to check if everything is fine with the banquet. The two of you can have a chat first.” Shi Shi Shaochuan then specifically reminded Bao’er, “Don’t forget what you promised Daddy.”

“Got it, Daddy.” Shi Bao’er watched as he went out of the house, then asked, “Auntie, how old are you?”

“Me…” Wen Lele laughed. “I’m around the same age as your Daddy.”

“Then, Auntie, my Daddy is around the same age as you and has already gotten married before, has a child, and had previous girlfriends. Have you gotten married before?”

Wen Lele thought to herself, This child acts like a mature adult and actually knows how to ask so many questions.

“I haven’t gotten married before. Neither do I have any children.”

“I heard from Daddy that you got to know each other from a blind date. What does an unmarried woman like you see in my Daddy?”

Wen Lele cleared her throat and replied, “Your daddy is rather decent in all areas.”

“Then, Auntie, do you know who my Mommy is?”

“I do, she’s Jin Qingyue, right? Oh right, I was also table mates with your uncle back in school.”

“Then, Auntie, what do you think of my Mommy?” Shi Bao’er asked further.
