“What? Boss!” Rong Jiu refused firmly. Although Shen Qingkong could not give birth to a baby, other women could.
His boss could have a baby with another woman, and raise him with Mrs. Mu. It was better than giving all his assets to a child of others.
“He is my son since I’ve adopted him. Jiu, don’t let me down.”
Mu Linxuan walked out in strides by saying so.
His hair was blown up by the cool night air, showing the increasingly firm eyes.
It was not a big deal that she could not give birth to a baby. An unknown baby was not as important as the woman with profound feelings.
He would never give up for it.
Never!
He would not taste the feeling of wandering about with no settlement for the rest of his life.
In addition, Lin Anbei was a good boy.
Mu Linxuan determined to raise that boy in a careful way since Shen Qingkong liked the boy so much. They were a family although with no kinship. He knew Shen Qingkong very well that she would never turn a blind eye to that kid. That was enough for him.
…
Nanny Wu was wiping pictures when Shen Qingkong got back to home after walking in the garden.
“I’ll wipe them.”
Nanny Wu delivered the towel to Shen Qingkong without a word. She always wiped the pictures by herself in the past. Nanny Wu went to prepare for the supper in the kitchen after a brief talking.
Shen Qingkong stared at the picture in her hand. This was the wedding picture of her and Mu Linxuan.
They invited the cameraman from the top photographic studio in Yancheng. She and Mu Linxuan were like a prince and a princess in a fairy tale.
However, there was no permanent happy life. Her fairy tale changed to nightmare due to constant accidents.
She recalled the past events. Her wounds in the heart did not heal after five years. Instead, they became pus, and she was so painful that she was crazy with a touch.
Shen Qingkong did not want to see it any more. She took a stool, and took down all the pictures in the room. She then took them to the balcony to burn them all.
Nanny Wu came in a hurry after sniffing out the burning smell. She was so scared at the sight of the pictures in fire, “Mrs. Mu, do not burn the marriage picture! Or you and Mr. Mu will not live together till old age!”
Nanny Wu was so urgent. She took a fire extinguisher and intended to put out the fire, but was stopped by Shen Qingkong, “They are just useless things.”
Staring at the wedding pictures burning into ashes with a cold expression, she said, “Not to matter.”
Would not live together till old age? That was just her wishes now.
Sniffing out the burning smell far away, Mu Linxuan did not expect that was the smell from his home, from the master bedroom on floor 2.
Shen Qingkong always liked reading books in the master bedroom.
Mu Linxuan’s expression changed suddenly. He rushed there in a crazy way, “Shen Qingkong! Shen Qingkong!”
The door of the master bedroom was opened before it was broken by him, and Shen Qingkong was standing at the door.
Seeing that Shen Qingkong was safe, he finally relaxed. He hugged her in his arms, and said harshly, “Remember! Leave immediately after detecting a fire disaster!”
“There is no fire disaster.” Shen Qingkong stood still, “I’m burning something.” Feeling the stiffness of the man, she gave out a self-mockery smile, “Don’t worry. My bones would have been rotted if I want to die. I’ll cherish my life as long as I’m alive.”
She could see the course of nature went round only when she was alive!
