Chapter 34 : Are You Mad?
Sheng Youting bought a villa in Ancheng. In the garden outside the villa he had built facilities for children’s play, like the swings and slides. What was more, the garden was also filled with figures in comics and animations to delight Qibao and therefore please Yu Lan.
However, no matter how much he had done, he just felt helpless when he was confronted with Yu Lan’s indifference and alienation.
They both didn’t mention the harm and love they once had in the past as a agreed consensus.
Yu Lan thought it was sad to look back on those days while Sheng Youting felt sorry for what he had done for Yu Lan. He didn’t treasure the love once offered by her.
Yu Lan wanted to leave. Every single day she was with Sheng Youting would get her reminded of the old bad days during the night and would keep her awake and ache.
However, Sheng Youting had taken advantage of all his resources and knitted a web around her to keep her stay. She was unable to leave even if she had wings.
She couldn’t go anywhere except Ancheng.
Sheng Youting had thought of falling asleep with Yu Lan in his arms for many times. However, every time when he was greeted with the cold, different, and even scornful eyes, Sheng Youting’s heart would sink to the bottom and then he would retreat automatically.
Meng Shaoqian got serious ill. Yu Lan went outside with Qibao immediately when she heard this news. She wanted to see Meng Shaoqian but was stopped by Sheng Youting.
“Meng Shaoqian has nothing to do with you now!”
“He has! He is my husband!” They had registered as a couple by law. He was to her a family member. How could she leave him alone when she knew he was seriously ill!
However, Sheng Youting knew Meng Shaoqian well. It must be his trick to get Yu Lan back. If Yu Lan had seen Meng Shaoqian’s sufferings, she would be tortured and wouldn’t live in peace with him again.
“Do you want to see him? And live with him?”
“Yes!”
Yu Lan answered without any hesitation. Sheng Youting controlled himself hard. He lifted the clenched fist and knocked at his temple for he felt his vessels under the temple were about to explode.
“I can’t let you go unless you can promise me one thing.”
“On what?”
“Leave your kid Qibao to me.”
“Are you mad?” How would it be possible for Yu Lan to agree! Qibao to her was more than a kid. She was her life!
Sheng Youting knew Yu Lan would decline his offer at once. He smiled, “Since you don’t want to leave Qibao to me, then stay and give me another child. Once you give birth to a baby of mine, you can go anywhere as you wish. I swear that I won’t come to you again as long as I have my own child.”
Yu Lan was about to curse upon the words. However, she found Sheng Youting was now a lunatic. He would move most of his original businesses in the south here just to stay in Ancheng.
Ancheng was such a little city that not a single big group would build their branches here.
To keep stay big groups such as the Sheng group and collect more tax-related revenue, the government had offered all possible favorable conditions.
Now the Ancheng would shake if Sheng Youting stamped his foot.
Yu Lan knew there was no way for her to fight against Sheng Youting. She had no other alternative but to agree if she wanted to live in Ancheng in peace, “All right! However, you’ve always eaten your own words. You need to swear by your grandfather!”
Sheng Youting raised his hand and swore, “I, Sheng Youting, swear that my grandpa wouldn’t live to his nature death if I keep Yu Lan stay after she has given birth to a baby for me!”
Yu Lan knew the grandpa was the person mostly respected by Sheng Youting. She was relieved after hearing his swear.
If she could get pregnant through artificial fertilization, then she could solve the problem between them once for all. It was tiring to be with this man. It was better for her to stay away from him. “All right! I promise you!”
