Once Upon A One Night Stand

"I don't need to inquire about you. As long as I'm willing, I can know everything."

Shu Tian was angered with his arrogance. "So what do you want?"

"Nothing." Meng Shichuan paused and withdrew his hand. Although he had restrained his strength, there was still a red mark on her delicate chin. Seeing that, he frowned and loosened his grip. "If you can't keep on one day, you can come to me. I'll help you."

Frowning, she didn't understand why he suddenly said that. But she didn't intend to ask further. "Thank you, Mr. Meng. Everything is fine," she said.

Having stared at her for a while, he casually raised his hand and stuffed something into her pocket, which made her flesh creep. Fortunately, he only made such a move and did nothing else. Then he turned around and left directly.

Watching the tall figure disappear at the intersection, she gently took out what was in her pocket with trembling fingertips. It was another business card without the title or label. Only a string of private numbers was on it.

She clenched it tightly, and the edges of the card was prickly. She did not understand why he did that at this point, but she felt more and more uneasy.

[.....]

After Shu Changlei finished the convalescent examination, Ye Lihua and Shu Tian felt relaxed. His recovery was optimistic without any problem. But this meant Shu Tian had to face Li Han once more. She had a lot of things left in Imperial Villa. Shu Changlei's illness had taken a long time. She had been fudging on this issue. But one day she had to face it.

Originally, she wanted to gather up during the day, but she was unsure. She delayed until night. According to the information that Zhang Bikun told Zhang Rui'er, Li Han had a social engagement tonight. Because it was a particularly important dinner, he probably would not return until the early morning.

Only then did she feel relieved and dragged a suitcase to the villa.

When she opened the door, she saw Nanny Li. The old woman's eyes immediately turned red. But she apologized to Shu Tian, "I'm sorry, Miss Shu. I..."

Shu Tian interrupted before she could finish, "Nanny Li, it's none of your business. You don't have to apologize."

Nanny Li didn't know what to say at that moment. Originally, she was happy that Shu Tian was back, but when she saw the suitcase in her hand, her expression changed slightly. "Miss Shu, you..."

"I came to pack today. I forgot to tell you in advance." In fact, she didn't forget. She was afraid that Nanny Li would tell Li Han.

Nanny Li stood by with a complicated look. Mr. Li told her that if Miss Shu came back, she must contact him. But now...

Seeing her dilemma, Shu Tian smiled in relief, "Just tell him."

She came here because she was sure he wouldn't be able to come back tonight.

Watching her carry the suitcase upstairs, Nanny Li sighed. She picked up the CDMA to dial Li Han.

Upstairs, Shu Tian walked straight to the door of the master bedroom. The moment she took a deep breath and raised her hand to push the door open, a familiar breath swept over her. Actually, she had lived there for more than half a year, which was enough for her to get used to everything here.

Her eyes wandered from the bedroom, the bathroom, the sofa, the bedside, and then to the balcony. Every place was filled with memories, whether good or bad.

And now, the memories came to her mind which made her miserable.

She hurriedly looked away, afraid that she would not bear to leave if she thought more. She knew that if she didn't deal with the thing about Jiang Chujing, she would have endless problems. But she still couldn't stop loving him.

Turning around to go into the cloakroom, she only took away the clothes and jewelry she had brought. In the middle, she saw the white nightgown. At that time, when she quarreled with Jiang Chujing over it, Li Han deliberately bought an identical one to hang on, but she never wore it again.

Thinking of that, she laughed mockingly. In fact, it was nothing to do with the dress. It was Jiang Chujing who was not in good faith.

She placed the clothes and items at the bottom of the suitcase one by one as if she sank their relationship with no good result into her heart. Her eyes turned red. The pain in her throat was burning. Not being particularly anxious, she said a silent goodbye to everything here.

About an hour later, she closed the suitcase and took a deep look at the room. Just as she was about to wheeled the suitcase away, the bedroom door was suddenly opened from the outside. When she turned around, a familiar black figure came into her eyes.

She felt as if her heart was hit hard by a hammer. She was so surprised that she stumbled. How did he, how did he come back? Hadn't he had an important social event...

His eyes quickly followed her hand to the silver suitcase. His expression suddenly became gloomy. For her, such an oppressive gaze was already a difficult punishment. The air here was freezing in an instant. In less than half a minute, she felt ice-cold. It was useless to force herself to calm down.

"Li, Li Han?" Her voice trembled so much that everyone heard could tell how scared she was.

Step by step, the man standing in front of her walked towards her. Finally, he stopped two punches away from her and said, "You came back just to pack up and leave?"

His voice was soft, but it did not make anyone feel relaxed. It was full of solemnity. Shu Tian felt so helpless. She could not resist such a horrible look. She unconsciously released the suitcase. The click did not scare him but made her tremble.

"Why are you back?"

"If I didn't come back, have you already left?"

Their eyes met with the inexplicable emotions merging. At that point, they finally understood that it was not anger but sadness.

She moved away first. When she lowered her head, a faint smell of alcohol wafted into her nose. Only then did she realize that he had drunk tonight.

When she realized, she was even more flustered. "Did you drink?"

He didn't answer but looked at her quietly. Tonight, after receiving a call from Nanny Li, he dropped the cooperation project which valued tens of billions of dollars without saying anything. For the first time in his life, he had made such an irrational decision. He was afraid that he would never find her if he came back a step later.

But she didn't understand, and he wouldn't say it either.

"Shu Tian." He called her name calmly. Raising his hand to lift her thin chin, he said with a frown, "Do you have to leave me?"

Devastated by his question, she shook her head gently. His dark eyes blinked as if she tried to regain her composure. "How can I stay..."
