Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories Chapter 505 - We Should Sleep Now

When Ye Ling returned home, Shen Qianshu was reading a set of doc.u.ments in the living room, and Tong Hua was revising his work. Everything looked peaceful. Occasionally, he did not know some words, and he would come over to ask Shen Qianshu. Ye Ling came back with bits of snow on him. He looked cold, but he immediately felt the warmth from the room.

Shen Qianshu smiled. “Welcome home, Master!”

“Yeah!”

Ye Ling turned around and went upstairs. Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua looked at each other. Zhong Ran followed from behind. “Second Master just called. He wants to have a video meeting with Master.”

Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua were very unfamiliar with the Second Master who was less heard of. Shen Qianshu yawned. She was getting dizzy from reading the doc.u.ments. Tong Hua said, “Mommy, it’s becoming warmer recently. I’ll be returning back to filming tomorrow.”

“It is still very cold.”

“It’s okay. I will be well prepared to keep myself warm. A lot of actors have already finished filming their parts, and I can’t postpone any longer.”

Shen Qianshu did not bear to let him go, and she was worried for him. Tong Hua said, “I’m done being made to feel like a single pringle here. I want to go back to filming and feel like a single pringle in another way.”

No one can stop me!

Zhong Ran was speechless.

Shen Qianshu said, “… Interesting!”

Feeling like a single pringle in another way… Interesting…

Burger rested on the sofa, and it was in deep sleep. Shen Qianshu stroked Burger’s fur. Who’s going to look after it when Tong Hua is away?

Zhong Ran said happily, “Don’t worry, Young Master. When you are away, I will feed Burger until it’s really fat.”

“If it runs away, I’ll come after you.”

“No problem!”

Burger was very clingy to humans, and he would definitely come back even if one threw him out. Why would he run away?

Ye Ling was upstairs for over an hour, and he had even taken a bath. Tong Hua had already gone to sleep, but Shen Qianshu was still looking at the doc.u.ments in the living room. Ye Ling sat beside her and looked at the doc.u.ments in her hands. They were all about gems used for gambling.

“Are you representing Gubelin for a stone gambling compet.i.tion?”

“Gubelin sent Lu Mengxi as our representative. I’m going as an individual partic.i.p.ant.” Shen Qianshu put her hand to her head and flipped through the doc.u.ments. She looked really serious. “Lu Mengxi is very good in this aspect, so I need to read up more about it.”

“Stone gambling… The odds of winning is 1:9,” Ye Ling said calmly. This activity was very popular in the jade world. One could make it big in a night or be completely ruined as well. Everything depended on the person’s eye judgment and luck. “Why are you interested?”

“It’s challenging. I like the feeling of looking for a gem among the stones. I also wish to challenge others at their skills. A winner does not only depend on luck. A lot of Fengshui masters love stone gambling too, and I can learn a lot just by mixing around with them more often.” Shen Qianshu always liked stone gambling. She loved the feeling of challenging herself.

This time, many descendants of Fengshui masters were invited to take part in the compet.i.tion. This was worth a try.

Ye Ling tapped his fingers on the table and grabbed a random book to read. “Has work been frustrating lately?”

“Pretty good.”

“You enjoy designing, and you are very popular. Why don’t you be a designer?”

“I had signed a contract with Gubelin for five years,” Shen Qianshu said and smiled. “The boss treats me well, and he brought me to where I am now. I wish to end my contract only after the five years. BG is having great business now, and I occasionally help out with designing. Things are pretty good like this.”

She was clear about her career plans, and she took them very seriously.

She was really engrossed in reading her doc.u.ments, and she did not notice that Ye Ling was looking unhappy. He tapped his fingers on the table and said coldly, “What time is it?”
