Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

I’m here to bring your mommy on a date. Little sweetie, look at me. Tall, handsome and rich. I’m a perfect match for your mommy. How do you like it if I’m your daddy?
Li Zhiyuan racked his brains, not being able to put his words together.
“Are you trying to woo my mommy?” Tong Hua took a few steps forward and grabbed both of Li Zhiyuan’s hands. With sincerity in his voice, he said, “Little Boss, good luck! I like you!” 2
“…” Shen Qianshu stood at a side.
Li Zhiyuan rejoiced. Was this considered half the battle won? Li Xiaojuan has said before that out of all of Shen Qianshu’s exes, Tong Hua disliked all of them. It would be worth celebrating if he did not mess things up and complain about them, but to actually like them, it never happened.
He never thought that he would have such an honor.
Tong Hua’s thinking was simple. Ye Ling was so hard to deal with, yet he was still young and could not protect his mommy. Naturally, he had to ride one’s coattails and find someone who could protect his mommy. In an emergency, he was not picky. If someone sent himself up to be a protector, he would naturally cozy up to someone powerful. 1
Brilliant Entertainment was one of the top Entertainment companies in the country. 1
The Li’s had many assets and even the Brilliant financial group. He was very powerful.
If Ye Ling hurt Mommy again, he would need to weigh himself before others. 1
Tong Hua stared at Li Zhiyuan innocently. In his eyes, it was as if Li Zhiyuan had a strong aura field. It made Li Zhiyuan feel extremely flattered.
Li Zhiyuan said, “Tong Hua, you support me on trying to woo your mommy?”
“Yes.” Tong Hua flattered Li Zhiyuan unhesitatingly. “You’re charming, rich, talented, and gentle. You and mommy, perfect match.” 1
Shen Qianshu said, “… Are you crazy?”
She knew Tong Hua more than anyone. He was young and very possessive, especially towards her. For every previous boyfriend that she had, Tong Hua would curse them. How was it possible that he liked CEO Li?
“Mommy, I’ve thought about it. As a stepchild, I cannot interfere too much with your search for love. I have already helped you search for one in front of national TV. CEO Li’s conditions are the best. What do you think?”
Li Zhiyuan looked at Shen Qianshu proudly.
See, even your son acknowledges me.
“CEO Li, I’m so sorry for everything that has happened today. I’ll treat you to a meal another day. I’m kinda tired, so let me bring Tong Hua home first.”
“Sure, go home if you’re tired. Rest well.”
“Right!”
CLICK! CLICK! The reporters hiding around took some secret shots of them together. The angles of the shots were very precise, bringing out a sense of familiarity and closeness between the three. It was especially so between Tong Hua and Li Zhiyuan, as they seemed very harmonious, making them appear as if they were father and son. 1
Shen Qianshu brought Tong Hua up and threw herself on the sofa, wanting to just be a dried salted fish basking in the sun and not do anything else.
Tong Hua imitated her and lazed like a tiny dried salted fish.
Shen Qianshu rubbed her tummy. She was a little hungry.
The tiny dried salted fish turned over and opened the fridge in the kitchen. He stuck his head out.
“Mommy, shall we have some instant noodles?”
“Okay.”
Tong Hua washed the pots, put water in, and boiled the water. He cut a tomato and boiled it in the water until it was tender. Then he tore two packets of Korean instant noodles open. He washed and chopped up some greens and took out some meat, shrimp, shredded chicken, and preserved vegetables, placing them all into the pot. Tong Hua then fried two eggs all while standing on a stool with no pressure at all. Shen Qianshu continued being her dried salted fish. 3
In her brain, memories of the expression in Ye Ling’s eyes floated in her mind. It was as if a beast was trapped in Ye Ling.
“In your eyes, I’m a monster. I’m a beast, huh?” Ye Ling’s growls felt like they were still around her ears. They were like the growls of a trapped beast who had just had its heart gouged out. It was filled with sorrow, rage, and… pain. Shen Qianshu put one hand over her forehead and felt extremely sorry.
