The Male Protagonist's Daughter - Chapter 40.1

From that day on, Shen Qingruo worked even harder.

The winter in Ning City this year was extremely cold. Several times when Luo Tianyuan came back from working overtime, when he stood downstairs and looked up, he noticed that only the light in Shen Qingruo’s bedroom was still on.

It was still on at 10 o’clock.

Sometimes it’s still on at 11 o’clock.

She was working harder than before. Sometimes, she would take the bus early in the morning to the provincial capital library to buy books and come back in the afternoon.

It has been proven that God favored hardworking people. Her translations became more and more fluent, and she also didn’t wrongly translate the more difficult words. With her current level, she was completely comparable to the translation team of multinational companies.

Luo Tianyuan had offered this job to her with the pure intention of helping her in the beginning, but now that she has proved her ability, Luo Tianyuan also felt relieved.

After he made a fortune, he helped many people, such as Aunty Wang’s son, but these people are more or less related to him, and he also knew to keep his private life and work matters separate.

He usually helped others on the pretense that they’d helped him in the past. It was up to the person to grab hold of the opportunity.

Shen Qingruo was the only exception to him. He helped her avoid a catastrophe before, and then rented the house to her at a price lower than the market price; he introduced her to a job in a piano shop, and even sold the house to her at a lower price to buy a car last year.

Luo Tianyuan knew that he had done enough.

After all, Shen Qingruo and him were not related, and there was no personal relationship between them as others have suggested. When he saw Shen Qingruo, he would be reminded of himself, the two of them were in the same situation; she was raising her son alone, and he and his daughter depended on each other.

Fortunately, Shen Qingruo did not disappoint. She seized every opportunity he gave her, and her life started to turn around.

Luo Tianyuan entered the residential building, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard the door next door open. Shen Qingruo was wearing a thick padded jacket, and smiled at him, “I made some wontons this afternoon and put them in the refrigerator for you to freeze. You can boil them yourself when you want to eat them.”

“Well, thank you.” Luo Tianyuan hesitated for a moment, before saying, “Why haven’t you gone to sleep yet? You don’t have to work so hard. It’s winter, so be careful to take care of your health.”

Shen Qingruo gathered her clothes, shook her head indifferently, but her eyes were bright, “I used to be too cowardly. I always tried to run away when problems arose, muddling along, and living my life in a mess. Tianyuan, I really want to thank you for looking out for me and my son. Without you, we would definitely not have such a peaceful life. Now, I have my mind set. Running away is not the solution to the problem. I cannot let Little Yan lie low for me and live in this small city. As a mother, I feel bad for him for not giving him a complete family. Now, I just want to focus on doing my best to give him a better life.”

When she first found out that there was a little life in her belly, she thought about ending the life several times. This was the only way she could bid farewell to the past, but every time she walked to the door of the hospital, she couldn’t make up her mind and things dragged on. Day after day until… she felt the baby move.

She regretted meeting and falling in love with Lu Xingsen more than once, but she did not regret giving birth to Little Yan.

Seeing the determined look in her eyes, Luo Tianyuan couldn’t help but smile. He was tall and dressed in a straight coat, and the lights in the corridor flickered on and off. He looked a little tired, which may be due to working overtime. He gently said, “Okay, I happened to want to discuss this with you. In a few years, our company intends to move to Xi City. Xi City is a provincial capital. Its education or medical care is much better than Ning City. What do you think?”

Xi City is the capital city of this province. Shen Qingruo had been there several times. It cannot be compared with Beijing, but she has been to many places with her family when she was younger. When compared with the provincial capitals across the country, Xi City would rank as one of the top ones.

If it was before, Shen Qingruo would have wanted to escape. However, when she learnt that Lu Xingsen still didn’t want to let her go, she was scared and at a loss. In the end, she finally understood the truth, even if Lu Xingsen appeared in front of her, as long as she didn’t want to go home with him, there was nothing that he could do either.

The only thing she can do now is to make herself stronger and give her son a better life. So that even if she meets again one day, she hoped that she would have the courage to fight against him, instead of doing nothing but crying and doing nothing.
