The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid-Chapter 125 - : The Little Boy’s Story

Chapter 125 -125: The Little Boy’s Story

Seeing her filled with righteous indignation, Qin Yu’s long eyelashes hid the shattered light in his eyes as his thin lips formed a faint smile, “Indeed, too excessive, so they paid the price.”

“Did they get their just desserts?” Ah Da inquired.

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, “Seems so, they were actually instructed by others, a trade of interests, doing someone else’s bidding.”

Ah Da said with delight, “No matter whose work they were doing, they got what they deserved. Those who do evil never end well.”

Qin Yu fell silent for a moment.

Ah Da leaned in closer and quietly pressed on, “Is there more?”

Qin Yu glanced at her sideways, and the little girl immediately sat back, straightened her posture, and hugged the panda toy.

Raising his hand to touch the panda in her arms, Qin Yu spoke in a low tone.

“Let me tell you a story, how about that?”

“A story?” Ah Da voiced her confusion.

Why suddenly tell a story when they had been discussing a nightmare?

“Do you want to hear it?”

“I do,”

Ah Da hurriedly declared.

Qin Yu withdrew his gaze, sat up a bit straighter, his expression slightly lazy, one long leg bent, an elbow resting on his knee.

“Long… long ago, there was a little boy who was born just as his father officially took over the family business, unmatched and splendid. His mother also came from a distinguished family, a perfect match made in heaven, the epitome of marital bliss. The whole city envied his fortunate birth, his life seemed perfect.”

“Only the little boy knew that his parents always argued. Every time they fought, his father would disappear, often not returning home for a month. Sometimes his mother was gentle, other times hysterical. During her angry spells, she would break things around the house and even grab the little boy’s face, venting her rage at him, loudly telling him he should have never been born into this world.”

Ah Da’s heart clenched tightly, reflexively gripping the corner of the panda toy’s clothes.

Qin Yu twisted his fingers, continuing on.

“One day, the mother had a mental breakdown, and the family doctor suggested medication and treatment. The little boy’s father finally realized the severity of the situation. He wanted to send the little boy to their old mansion, but the mother wouldn’t allow it, crying and causing a scene, even threatening with a knife and climbing onto a window ledge.”

“For the sake of the family’s reputation, the little boy’s father had no other choice but to compromise. The mother agreed to the treatment, and the boy didn’t leave. He was even warned by his father not to speak of their family’s troubles to anyone, not even his grandparents.”

Ah Da pursed her lips, listening intently, her embrace around the panda toy tightening.

Qin Yu glanced at her and went on, “As he grew up, the little boy finally learned the reason behind their arguments. It turned out that his father had a girlfriend before getting married, but because of the little boy, the girlfriend firmly decided to break up with his father and, eventually, met with a car accident on the way to the airport.”

Ah Da’s chin rested against the panda toy’s head, suddenly confused, and couldn’t help asking:

“Why was it because of the little boy?”

Qin Yu was silent for a moment, looking out into the pitch-black night.

“Because the little boy’s mother, upon discovering her unexpected pregnancy, immediately informed the father’s girlfriend. Unable to accept her partner’s betrayal, the girlfriend planned to leave the country but tragically died on the road to the airport.”

“From then on, the little boy’s father harbored resentment toward the mother but couldn’t bring himself to accuse her.”

Ah Da’s countenance clouded with sorrow, holding the panda tightly, “But… if the father really hated the mother, why would they get married?”

One would think only two people in love would marry.

How could they live together with hatred?

Ah Da didn’t understand.

Qin Yu’s face bore a lightly mocking smile as he gently lifted Little Ade’s chin, his voice growing colder.

“Things were different back then compared to now. When two major families were involved in a death, it wasn’t something that could be settled by love or hate alone. The word ‘responsibility’ is too fearsome.”

“For some people, face is more important than the heavens, more valuable than life itself.”

“They got married for many reasons, one of which was because the little boy’s grandfather and the little boy’s mother’s father had been good friends and verbally agreed to a child betrothal. Many people knew about this, yet many also didn’t take it seriously.”

“After the little boy’s mother became pregnant, the little boy’s grandfather was extremely happy and firmly stood on the side of the little boy’s mother.”

Ah Da found it hard to accept and blurted out, “So, your dad just agreed to the marriage like that?”

After speaking, Ah Da immediately covered her mouth, her eyes wide and round, she timidly apologized,

“I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have exposed your…”

Little Ade had long figured out that the little boy was Qin Yu.

Qin Yu looked at her, pinched her cheek, and his eyes slightly curved, “Not too dumb.”

Ah Da breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he wasn’t angry.

Qin Yu continued, “After my maternal grandfather passed away, my mother’s family squandered the fortune due to a few good-for-nothing descendants, and then unfortunately encountered an economic crisis, quickly declining. They pinned their hopes on the Qin Family’s verbal child betrothal to continue their family’s glory, and during a party, they carefully planned an accident.”

Ah Da felt her head wasn’t working, it all seemed so complicated, “So, were they also calculated against, with no other choice?”

Qin Yu’s lips curled in a mocking smile, his gaze distant and cold, “No other choice? Hardly.”

“Between men and women, if one is truly determined at heart, how could they be easily schemed against?”

Ah Da didn’t quite understand, she just felt heavy-hearted, as if there was a weight on her chest, “I think the most pitiable are the little boy and his girlfriend who died in the car accident, they were so innocent.”

The young girl’s eyes were red, and her gaze towards him carried pity, while Qin Yu toyed with her hair.

“Why are your eyes red again, turning into a little rabbit?”

“I’m not a rabbit.” Ah Da sniffled, her eyes sore and tingling, and she reached out to touch his face, “Qin Yu, are you sad?”

Qin Yu paused, his lips slowly curling into a smile.

“Didn’t you say that those who do bad things never end well? Eventually, they died too, just like the girlfriend who died in the accident, is that considered karma?”

“It’s just a pity the little boy didn’t die.”

Ah Da grabbed his cold hand, feeling that even as he spoke these words, his heart was also in pain, “It’s not like that, the little boy isn’t a bad person, he had no choice in coming into this world.”

“He’s innocent.”

The young girl held his hand to her cheek, trying to warm him with her body heat, and Qin Yu’s heart softened, she truly was a gift from heaven to him.

“Why are you so good?”

Holding her palm-sized little face, Qin Yu couldn’t help but lower his head and press a kiss to the corner of her mouth, his prominent nose gently rubbing against her, greedily breathing in the scent coming off her body.

Ah Da’s small hand clutched at his clothes, enduring his affection, the panda plushie in her arms getting squeezed between them.

A kiss without lust.

Qin Yu’s fingertips gently caressed her delicate brows and eyes, staying silent, while Ah Da looked back at him intensely.

“What is it?”

Ah Da lowered her gaze then lifted it again, her fingers playing with the panda’s ear, hesitantly asking, “Is the story… over?”

Qin Yu looked at her, “What else do you want to hear?”

“Do you dream about her hitting you when you have nightmares?” Ah Da’s eyes were very round, her voice trembling.

Qin Yu let out a “tch,” and hooked her chin, squinting and speaking lazily, “Yes and no.”

Ah Da was puzzled, “How can it be both yes and no?”

Was it or wasn’t it?
