He saw how she was today,scared and a shell of her original bubbly self. He couldn't help but fear that if she continued to be associated with him, that image from earlier might become a constant reappearance.
Even though he was sure that what happened had no connection to him, he couldn't help his fear. If a normal person could do that to someone, what more those cold blooded enemies of his who would go to any length to break him.
And he couldn't deny that if something really did happen to her, he would break down.
His current feelings were conflicted! Who could tell him what to do?
If he stayed with her by her side, he might invite unnecessary danger upon her but if he distanced himself, how then will he be able to protect her?
But at times, he couldn't help but wonder, what was the need for money and power if he couldn't even protect the one he loved?
Or what was the need for it if he couldn't love freely without fear?
All the conflicting feelings and thoughts running through his head made Shen Mucheng feel like he needed to get out from his own skin.
He felt suffocated all of a sudden.
He ran his hands through his already ruffled hair before getting into his car deciding that he needed to drive around a bit to clear his head.
And clear his head he did do because he realised that even though he couldn't be with her, there was absolutely no way he would create a distance between them.

After his meeting with Mo Xiaye, all Zhou Ting could think about was that he was finally going to meet his daughter and that soon, his family would be complete but his mind couldn't help but drift to his parents who were both lying motionless in the hospital.
Although he had already gotten the names of the mastermind, he changed his mind of letting them rot in prison immediately.
Even though when the police finds the evidence to sentence them, he would gladly let them go with them. He decided that until then, until the police finds the evidence needed by themselves and presents an arrest warrant, he would let them suffer.
For so long he had provided for them letting them float in the pool of luxury without having to work for even a single cent.
Even then, it appears they weren't satisfied and wanted more.
He knew exactly what they were thinking by planning to murder him. How could it not be obvious, they would think that he was probably too young to make a will and so with early death, they could fight for a good percentage of his money.
They might not even need to fight since his parents would not leave their relatives in the lurch, they would probably want to give them half of his properties.
But that's alright, now that he knew about their pretentious selves, he would make sure to give them their just desert.
