Destined To Love You

30

The teenager was different, he would look back, staring at her, until she noticed him, and he would just glance away as if nothing happened.

They had very minimal contact in her last life, Meng Ting’s memory about him stopped after she was disfigured by the fire. Jiang Ren went back to the Jiang family and never came back.

His affection towards her was actually not that superficial.

Shu Zhi Tong came back after 11 pm. Recently, new projects were undergoing and newly arrived fresh graduates. He was constantly piled up with work.

Meng Ting knew Shu Zhi Tong accepted extra work that was not under his job scope. After Du Dong Niang came over, he left the honest man out of breath and was pressured to earn more money to pay back the debts.

Hence, winning the competition was her priority.

After 11 pm, Shu Yang and Shu Lan had slept. After all, high school life was very intense and stressful, students were still growing, hence they always felt exhausted.

Shu Zhi Tong came into the house softly, after putting down the umbrella, he decided to take a shower and head to sleep.

One of the lights in the living room was lit, Meng Ting gave him a hand gesture, with an airy voice: “ Father Shu, I have left some food for you, come finish it before you go to bed.”

She busily reheated all the dishes and brought them to the dining table.

Shu Zhi Tong was exhausted, and hungry. After finishing, only then he felt that his cold feet and hands had gained back some warmth.

Tomorrow was a Saturday, he was supposed to work overtime today. His gaze was soft and gentle: “Tomorrow is our Ting Ting’s birthday, dad doesn’t need to go to work. I can accompany you for the whole day.”

He fetched out the present that he had kept and placed it into Meng Ting’s hands, with a slightly shy tone: “ My colleagues told me that his daughter loves this, take a look and tell me if you like it or not.”

Meng Ting opened the box, it was a pink scarf.

It was actually overly childish, it was suitable for 13, 14 years old girls. His colleague’s daughter should still be quite young, Meng Ting smiled and nodded: “ Yes, I like it very much, thank you, dad.”

Shu Zhi Tong sighed in relief and asked her to go to bed early.

Meng Ting cleaned the dishes, Shu Zhi Tong murmured in doubt: “ Who does the car downstairs belong to? It is a luxurious car, did any family relatives come to visit?”

Meng Ting froze. Fortunately, Shu Zhi Tong did not ponder on, he had been working for the whole day, he was exhausted and went to rest.

Meng Ting dried her hands and went to bed.

She woke up from a nightmare at 2 a.m. In the dream, a truck crashed into them, her mother was holding her tight in her arms.

Once she opened her eyes, tears covered her pillow.

The thunder continues to rumble outside.

She couldn’t sleep anymore, she wiped her tears away and looked at the dark sky. She wore her slippers and walked to the living room to look downstairs.

The silver-coloured sports car was still there.

Why isn’t he leaving, how long has he been waiting?

The weather at night was very cold, and every family was peacefully asleep.

Meng Ting wore a winter jacket and took an umbrella along with her.
