Chapter 15: The Usual Place, I Want to See You (5)
After that, they met again, six years later. She was fourteen, and Li Qingshen had returned from abroad. On New Year’s Eve, they had a meal, and he gave her his first gift.
Later on, Li Qingshen came back several times. The two of them would just have meals together, and each time he never forgot to give her a gift. Occasionally, he would also slip her some money.
By rights, Li Qingshen wasn’t particularly bad to Ling Momo. They weren’t related by blood, and yet he took care of her. However, Ling Momo just didn’t have a good feeling towards Li Qingshen.
The Ling family wasn’t well-off. Her parents had died, and her grandparents had passed away early too, so she only lived with her great-grandfather. Every time Li Qingshen came to visit his grandmother, her great-grandmother, the great-grandfather would always instruct her to attend to Li Qingshen.
Perhaps it was during that time that she started to dislike Li Qingshen. He was clearly six years older, yet she had to serve him tea and water.
Moreover, Li Qingshen was outstanding, doing well academically and later excelling at work. He came from a good background, had a bit of a solitary nature, and his gaze was always cold and indifferent. This made Ling Momo instinctively feel inferior.
Actually, Li Qingshen just had that ability, making everyone who saw him feel inferior.
So, Ling Momo really didn’t like that feeling, yet she couldn’t resist and had to comply. Over time, she just started to dislike it more.
Thinking about it, Ling Momo really didn’t know exactly what she disliked about Li Qingshen, but she just found him a bit dislikeable.
If Li Qingshen wasn’t the legendary myth he was, she probably would never dream of having contact with such a proud man.
