Chapter 400: Drifting Down Memory Lane

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Their baby had gone so quickly, he didn’t even have the time to stretch out his arm and touch her belly.

All this time, he wanted to have a baby with her. He had never guessed they had one at all.

He was a father.

He had been a father and yet he didn’t know about the baby’s existence.

Fu Qinglun felt his heart wrenching in pain, it hurt so much that he couldn’t catch his breath. His hands were balled into fists and he bit them lightly. Perhaps their relationship really had reached a dead end.

However, he really wanted to continue his life with her.

What had gone wrong?

His eyes were wet and in the next moment, two drops slid down his face. He bit his fist again and his shoulders started to tremble. He had lost his baby, his woman was suffering in the operating theater and yet he was so helpless and he couldn’t do anything at all…

…

He drifted into his memories, to a time when he was sixteen years old and Lin Shiyu was only ten.

He had first seen her with the Lin family.

She must have been unaware, but he had actually met her when she was ten years old.

She had been chased out of the Lin family alongside her mother since a long time ago. When she had gone to ask for her allowance, Lin Ruoxi’s mother had thrown a stack of cash at her sweet, innocent face. She didn’t display any expression and just bent down to pick up the money.

She wore a white dress that day and he stood behind her. When she bent down, he could already see signs of her feminine curves and she beauty she would become. Lin Shiyu was stunning.

That incident in the past had happened when he was 12 years old had left him traumatized, resulting in his asexuality. He was a 16 year old who was going through puberty and had no interest in anything even remotely sexual. When his friends secretly shared pornography videos with him, the only feeling he had was to throw up.

It was only until he met her, a girl named Lin Shiyu, that an unknown feeling of something , stirred within him.

His eyes were fixated on her long and slender legs. He could see her side profile and despite her young age, her facial features were already well-sculpted. Though he had met a fair share of beauties, he was still stunned by her ethereal beauty.

She picked up the cash and left. Though she had walked past him, she didn’t notice him.

The young master of the Fu family, no matter where he stood, he would become the center of attention. However, she held the cash in her hands and left without even lifting her head to observe her surroundings.

It was their first meeting yet she didn’t pay any attention to him, all that was in her mind was the pathetic amount of cash she had received from Lin Ruoxi’s mother.

Unbeknown to her, she took a place in his heart and he had his butler find out who she was. His butler reported that her name was Lin Shiyu.

Lin Shiyu.

What a beautiful name.

Just like her.

When he was 22 years old, he had become an outstanding business economics student at the Imperial College in London. One day, the friend who had shared pornography with him, asked him out and they booked a private room—-

“Qinglun, let me tell you this, your legend at T university has been defeated. A genius has been granted direct admission into T University at only 15 years old. That genius is someone called Lin Shiyu.”

Lin Shiyu?

After six years, somehow, he was able to hear her name again.

“I’ll show you Lin Shiyu’s photograph, she has become the nation’s biggest love, alongside the Mayor’s daughter Tang Mo’er. There’s even a saying, Karghalik has Tang Mo’er in the South and Lin Shiyu in the North.”

His friend showed him the photograph and he took a look. Lin Shiyu held a book in her arms and she wore a white dress, her ethereal beauty shining through.

His gaze landed on her thighs, all that was in his mind was the white dress he saw her wearing back when she was younger. So she was still a fan of white dresses.

“Qinglun, this Lin Shiyu is bursting in popularity. Many women are having plastic surgery to look like her, they are highly sought after in the circle of sugar babies. I’ve got a video here, the female lead’s looks are modeled after Lin Shiyu, let me show you.”

His friend then started playing the video and his gaze wandered over the screen. Before anything could load, he stretched out his hand out and snatched the phone, dropping it into a glass of water.

Three days later, all plastic surgery clinics in town had removed any form of reference to Lin Shiyu and even that pornographic video had vanished into thin air.

Subsequently, he received a phone call. The principal of T University had invited him back to present a speech. He was in the most luxurious presidential suite in England and leaned against the window with poise. He looked at the blue skies outside and yet his mind was filled with the Lin Shiyu’s beautiful face.

He felt as though he was bewitched.

He wanted to see her so desperately.

The idea sprouted in his head and it grew on him even further like a raging beast that refused to be caged. Curiosity filled his mind, he wondered how she would look after growing up and so he agreed to return to the T University.

However, he didn’t spot any trace of Lin Shiyu at the T University that day.

What was he even doing?

He felt so ridiculed by himself, even if he wasn’t going to marry Lu Qi’er, he was bound to have an arranged marriage with a daughter from a wealthy family. Lin Shiyu meant nothing to him.

He had planned to give up on his ridiculous thoughts and had his chauffeur drive back, but fate worked in mysterious ways. The 16-year-old Lin Shiyu was hailing a cab at the entrance of the hospital, in the rain.

Six years apart, her beautiful face appeared in his line of vision again. She had grown up and she was stunningly beautiful.

Too beautiful.

He couldn’t contain his impulsiveness anymore, he had his chauffeur drive over and give her a lift.

He was seated in the back seat and she sat in the passenger’s seat in front. She couldn’t see him and yet he had a clear view of her. It was raining cats and dogs that night and her uniform had been thoroughly soaked by the pouring rain. It clung to her body, exposing her svelte frame and her slender legs were long and fair. He had a good look and all that was in his mind was… her legs around his trim waist with her body beneath him.

The thought shocked him to the core. It was the first time he had experienced any sexual desires since the traumatic incident in his childhood.

Although it was normal for a 21-year-old man, he had never had even the slightest hint of desire towards anyone in the past.

As soon as they had arrived at T University, she alighted from the car and the chauffeur reported, “Young Master, that lady has stained the car seat.”

He lifted the partition and spotted a red stain on the car seat.

She had her period.

After returning to the Fu family’s villa, he rushed into the bathroom and took a shower. That was his first time he had used his hands to relieve his pent up desires. His mind was filled with the stain she left on the car seat, it was like a red blossom. Her long, fair legs called to him in his mind.

He didn’t know what had struck him, he was attracted to her just like a magnet, he couldn’t help but get closer to her.

He wrote her a letter for the first time and used the pen name—-Zijun.

They were pen pals for three years.

She was intelligent and deserving of her title as the prodigious campus belle. Though he wasn’t too intrigued by her intelligence, he was nonetheless impressed by her. He had realized that he was just like an ordinary man, falling for a girl who had both looks and talent.

Their letters were nothing much, comprising of practice questions and innocent discussion. However, he didn’t have decent thoughts in his mind, he was thinking of indecent matters while teaching her the simplest solutions to the practice questions.

The frequency of him entering the bathroom to relieve himself of his sexual desires increased tenfold, it had also increased in duration.

She told him in the letters that she was called Shi’shi.

Fast forwarding to when he was 24 years old and she was 18 years old. Qi’er had demanded for Lin Shiyu’s song, ‘Legend’.

He had agreed.

When he approached Lin Shiyu about it, he named his conditions. He was going to marry her, she was becoming his Mrs Fu.

He felt that it was the best opportunity for him to marry her. She was 18 years old and had finally grown up. All of these years, he had been waiting for her to become an adult.
