His One Love

Chapter 24

Lu Wanwan still remembered the seventeen-year-old Shen Yi, who used to be so pitiful it was heartbreaking, and who was very mature compared to other people his age.

Being fatherless and motherless became a reason for others to attack him.

The wounds were constantly accompanying him.

Lu Wanwan unreasonably insisted to live with him and that small apartment became their home. When Shen Yi finished classes early, he would wait for her in front of the school everyday.

Back then, Lu Wanwan was very playful and got very annoyed with him, for she couldn't go out to play when she was being pestered by him tailing her.

At that time, in a nice manner, she told Shen Yi, "After you finish classes and self-study, you can go back home first, you don't need to stay and wait for me."

Back then, Shen Yi said "okay", but then the next evening, he still stayed and waited for her.

Lu Wanwan had known that Shen Yi was a very stubborn person from a long time ago.

During those youthful years, Shen Yi was indeed an unforgettable first love. During her university internship, he also used to wait for her every day at the place where she worked.

From waiting for her to finish classes to waiting for her to finish work, that's what he wanted.

These were the most moving words Shen Yi ever said to her.

Unfortunately, the story later didn't turn very well.

Lu Wanwan had never been able to figure out why Shen Yi later became that way. Somber and cold.

Meng Xuexin also did not expect Lu Wanwan to speak so bluntly, asking for money as soon as she opened her mouth.

"This is a matter between me and my son." She dropped those words with a fierce tone.

Lu Wanwan laughed at those words, and smiled brightly as she asked, "So you're not going to give money, right?"

Meng Xuexin's face turned ugly. She didn't understand how things had turned into them asking her for money.

Lu Wanwan kept asking: "Didn't you say you had wronged him all these years? Apologies are a must, and there should also be a compensation, right? Is it possible that you are just saying it to sound good?"

Meng Xuexin was about to lose control of the expression on her face, "I want to talk to my son."

Shen Yi lifted his eyelids and indifferently swept a glance at her. There was no emotional fluctuations on his face as he said, "You go back."Meng Xuexin stared at the man in front of her and suddenly fell in a trance. That year, she took him out of the Shen family on an anger impulse and then left him because of another one of her impulse.

It's not that she never felt any guilt over the years, but that bit of guilt wasn't enough to keep her from living well with her husband and her little son.

She already had a new life, her foreign husband treated her very well, her little son was smart and filial. It wasn't easy to get this life and she would never give it up easily.

"I just wanted to come and see how you are doing now." Meng Xuexin said, seemingly on the verge of tears again.

The corners of Shen Yi's mouth curved down, "No need, I'm doing fine." After a pause, he added, "I won't invite you in to sit, you'd better go back."

He spoke very politely, so much so that people who didn't know who they were to each other would never guess that they were mother and son.

(TL's note : Shen Yi has been using a polite form of address to say " you" all along)
