Once Upon A One Night Stand

Shu Tian was dumbfounded when she heard this answer. Her face turned paler. She muttered I Country in her heart. It was so far away.

It might be tens of thousands of miles away from here.

Meng Shichuan carefully observed every expression on her face and even the slightest one. "What?! You don't bear to leave here? If you want to go back now, it's not too late. We are still in Z Country." Shu Tian didn't say anything but stared blankly ahead.

She knew it was self-deceiving when she said that she can let go of the past after leaving. Only she knew what had happened during her one-year relationship with Li Han, and that how deeply they loved each other. Everything was engraved in her mind, but...

Shu Tian put her hands on her belly where a new life, belonging to Li Han and her, was growing.

The cabin went silent for a while, but the atmosphere was a bit tense. It was not easy to have a narrow escape, and she was fearing the unknown.

At this moment, the cabin door suddenly opened and a man in black came over. Shu Tian looked warily at him. It was the man in the police van who had helped her escape.

Seeing this face again, Shu Ting was surprised. "Why are you here?"

After that, she looked at Meng Shichuan, her gaze moving between the two of them, and soon realized that this man might have a closer relationship with Meng Shichuan.

Sure enough, the man nodded at her, not so serious as he had been. "Hello, Miss Shu. Glad to meet you again."

Due to her previous experiences, Shu Tian was still nervous and wary when she saw this man again. Her hands were covered with cold sweat, but thinking of his protection when she fell into the water, she asked, "Are you... alright?"

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."

Shu Tian nodded, not knowing what to say. "That's good. Thank you."

Meng Shichuan smiled. "I've helped you so many times, and I haven't heard you thank me."

Shu Tian silently looked away, pretending not to hear.

Meng Shichuan did not mock her again. He walked up to the man and patted him on the shoulder. "This is Lai, my bodyguard."

Shu Tian understood why Meng Shichuan had trusted him to save her. It turned out that he could entrust his life to Lai.

She couldn't help but recall how Lai had spoken for Meng Shichuan in the van and said with emotions, "You are lucky to have him."

Meng Shichuan agreed. "I know."

"Mr. Meng, are we flying non-stop to I Country?" Lai came here because he had something to ask.

Meng Shichuan looked at Shu Tian, then took a high-class cashmere blanket, and draped it over her weak thin body. "Do you want to go? Have you made up your mind?"

Shu Tian lowered her head. The thought of leaving put a lump in her throat. She held back the tears in her eyes. "I won't regret it."

To be exact, there was no room for regret. Since she had chosen to jump out of the van, she couldn't turn back.

"We fly direct to I Country."

"Yes, sir." Lai nodded respectfully and then left the cabin.

Meng Shichuan watched as Shu Tian curled up, the color draining from her beautiful face which was filled with sadness. She looked as if she was born so weak, but he knew that she was stronger than he had imagined. There was a strength beyond people's imagination inside her body.

In fact, even Meng Shichuan himself did not understand why he had to put in so much effort to help her who had done nothing but save him once.

They didn't have a deep connection, but every time he met her in trouble, he couldn't bear to stand by and watch her suffer.

Perhaps because she was strong, and when she cried, she looked pitiful, this reminded him of the past self, helpless, sad, and humble self many years ago.

They both seemed weak, but in fact, they were strong and tenacious and would only become stronger when in hardships.

"If I leave like this, will you be in trouble?" Shu Tian suddenly asked.

Meng Shichuan was surprised. "What? You still have the energy to worry about me?"

After a pause, he added, "Li Han is not an ordinary person, but since I dare to do this, I am fully prepared. I will never let him find out about me, so you don't have to worry." Moreover, the scene of the accident was tragic, and it was impossible to find any trace. The car was destroyed, and the people were killed. No one would suspect anything.

"I'm pregnant," she said. Both of them knew what she meant.

"When we get to I Country, I will give you a new identity. You don't have to worry about your life there. You'll have my back." Meng Shichuan seldom looked so steady and composed. He knew what Shu Tian was worried about, and he understood why she was at a loss and panicked. "Don't worry. I will let you give birth to this child safely."

Shu Tian looked straight into his eyes, and her eyes sparkled. "Really?"

"Yes, unless you don't want this child." Meng Shichuan looked meaningfully at her belly.

Shu Tian became wary and covered her lower abdomen with both hands. "How is that possible? I left for this child."

Seeing her nervous face, Meng Shichuan sneered. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her. "Since I have promised you, I will honor it. I am a man of my word, or you won't be here now."

He suddenly changed the subject. "But you have to promise me one thing."

Shu Tian was surprised. It was the first time he had asked her to do anything since they met each other accidentally or otherwise.

She couldn't help but be a little surprised. "What?"

There were tears on her eyelashes, and she did not take the handkerchief. Meng Shichuan lowered his head, took her hand, stuffed it in. "From today on, forget everything here and everyone. You won't have anything to do with Li Han anymore."

Shu Tian felt as if she had been punched in the gut and dull pain. She turned her head and raised the window shade beside her. It was late at night, so she could only see the lights on the ground.

She was dead to them now. What Li Han would react? He might be in pain too.

Shu Tian didn't dare to think about it because she wanted to cry at this thought.

Meng Shichuan saw her red eyes. He couldn't bear to see her crying, so he pulled down the shade. "Can you do that?"

Shu Tian took a deep breath and then exhaled. There was still a long way to go and many obstacles that she needed to overcome. She had to do it even if she couldn't.

She had to pull herself together instead of losing herself to self-pity and sadness.

"I can!"
