Once Upon A One Night Stand

What Shu Tian had experienced and suffered in a foreign country was completely unimaginable to Li Han. He was completely depressed. At first, he could still rely on alcohol to numb himself. But before long, the method became useless and he had no way to cope with that.

Ling Junze and the others saw that Li Han was being passive and depressed, but there was nothing they could do about it. Although Li Han used to speak little and he was positive deep in his heart, but ever since Shu Tian disappeared, this man had completely changed. He started to be pessimistic.

He hated this world, even with the law that he used to take pride in.

Others' words were useless for him. He could only survive this situation by himself.

Half a year had passed and Li Han rarely went to the company during that time. But one morning, he arrived at the office. Ji Chuanyi was looking at today's schedule. He was surprised when he came in, then stood up happily to greet him. "You finally came."

He thought Li Han had thought better of it and was willing to come back to work as before.

Unexpectedly, what he said next was shockingly surprising, "I'm leaving the legal profession. Let's make a statement this noon."

"What?!" Ji Chuanyi was also an experienced lawyer, but he was still shocked to hear him that, "Han, what... what did you say?"

"I will quit. I don't want to get involved with the law in the future." He had to get out of it, or else he would resent himself for the rest of his life.

The law he believed in the most helped so many people but slandered the woman he loved the most. This was the most unacceptable thing to him.

Seeing his being so determined, Ji Chuanyi frowned. "Han, calm down and be rational. You and I have built up this company and run it successfully until today. What should you do when you leave the company now? What should I do?"

"You can do it on your own." Li Han said without thinking. His dark eyes were filled with determination. "The company would be fine without me. Liu Cheng is also good at his work. You could promote him to help you when I leave."

Since he said so, it seemed he had already made up his mind.

For a moment, Ji Chuanyi suddenly didn't know what to say. He had never expected Li Han to make such a decision. He had never thought that one day this man would leave the profession he once loved the most.

When he finished his studies, he was so proud and confident that he set foot in this industry. No matter how difficult things were in the past, he did not flinch at all, but now...

Ji Chuanyi took a deep breath. "Han, I know you're sad. There are some things I shouldn't say as an outsider, but as a brother, I want to tell you the truth. I know that Shu Tian's departure is a heavy blow to you, but one cannot put back the clock. I hope you could move forward. I never thought that one day you would be like this. Have you ever thought about what you would do after you quit? Even if you don't want to be responsible for yourself, if Shu Tian were still alive, she wouldn't want to see you like this."

At first, Li Han did not listen to Ji Chuanyi. Countless people around him had tried to motivate him. After a long time, he was used to that, but the last sentence undoubtedly touched him.

The man was silent for a moment, then curled his lips ironically and he muttered with an affection, "If only she was really alive."

As soon as he finished, the office fell into an awful silence. Ever since Shu Tian's accident, this almost became a taboo among them. It was really unbearable for anyone to continue to live when his or her loved one passed away.

But as his best friend, he couldn't let this man live in an illusion and harm himself as well as the people around him.

He missed the man who was occupied with the work and was arrogant as well as rational. "Han, how long will it take you to face reality?"

Face reality?

The man curled his lips with a sarcastic look. "I would keep searching for her for the rest of my life until I do find her."

Ji Chuanyi sounded a little angry. "You want to waste the rest of your life, and then fantasize that she's not dead. How could you be so sure that she is still alive? How long will you still lie to yourself? If Shu Tiar were still alive, she would definitely show up in front of you by now!"

After saying this, Ji Chuanyi thought that he might have some response, whether it was angry or sad. But the man only raised his hand and pinched his temple. His palm covered half of his face. He leaned back on the sofa depressingly and painful. He took a deep breath, and his voice was weak. "Just let me do it. The moment when I face reality, I would be not far from death."

Ji Chuanyi was gagged by this sentence. He fixed his eyes on the man on the sofa. At this moment, he could not say anything. There seemed to be a lump of cotton in his throat, which made him anxious. At this moment, he saw the man's determination. Accepting Shu Tian's death meant death to him to some extent.

[...]

More than a month later, it was rainy in London, the UK, at four o'clock in this afternoon,

Outside the delivery room of the most expensive private confinement centre in the area, there came a hurried but clear sound of footsteps. Accompanied by the nurse outside, there came the man walking dressed in a tailored suit with his hair neatly combed above his head, and a pair of golden eyes on the bridge of his nose. The facial features on his face were strong and charming. If he hadn't been followed by a group of men in black, people would have thought he was a top executive of a technology company.

As he approached, the nurse smelled the faint mint scent on his body. It was very refreshing and not too strong even he came closer to her. The man's clear and inky eyes looked over and he spoke in an authentic British accent. "How is she?"

The nurse was frightened by these men in front of her. Although she did not know Meng Shichuan's identity, she also knew that he was definitely not a common citizen. She immediately replied respectfully, "The C-section processes successfully. Everything is fine."

Hearing that, Meng Shichuan was slightly relieved. He was making a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars. When he heard the news from the hospital, he immediately left the meeting and rushed over. Fortunately, it was not too late.

His handsome and cold face changed slightly when he looked at the delivery room again. The man turned and sat in a long chair in the corridor, his hands on his thighs and legs, his slender index fingers on both sides of his high nose bridge. From time to time, he checked the time and kept waiting.

As time passed, the most thing Meng Shichuan had done alone in his early years was to wait, but he had never been as anxious and nervous as he was today.

At first, he was still sitting there calmly. After a long time, he got up and started to pace around the corridor.

An hour and a half later, the door of the operating room finally opened. The doctor in the sterile suit carried out a crumpled, fleshy little thing. Meng Shichuan immediately stepped forward and the doctor let him have a look at the crying baby with a smile in his eyes. "It's a boy, weighing seven and a half pounds. The little guy is very stubborn and cries loudly."

Meng Shichuan's eyes fell on the crumpled and red little thing. He could see his face clearly. It was all wrinkled together, with a small meaty mouth making noise. There were a few light furry hairs on his head. He was not cute at all, instead, it was so ugly that it might even disgust him.

How could a pretty and white woman like Shu Tian give birth to such an ugly boy?
