Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce

Chapter 83: Episode 7.10 A Memory

Trembling and scared?

The celestial fox spirit wasn’t convinced at all. From what he knows from the manhua, Shen Yuan wouldn’t be begging while trembling. The original Shen Yuan is someone cold-hearted enough to bombard a dungeon gate with a powerful mana bomb for the sake of trapping Bai Tingfeng and Lei Jireh in that other dimension. In that story arc, Bai Tingfeng and Lei Jireh were attacked by some members of the terrorist group Cardinals over some dungeon artifact.

Of course, that plan ultimately failed because Chairman Mao Huanlong was there to stop it all from happening, and he was also the one to sweep it under the rug so that Shen Yuan wouldn’t end up in jail.

But the bottom line is that someone who could make that heartless and drastic decision wouldn’t act hopelessly and beg. Besides, based on what he could hear from Bai Tingfeng and others, Shen Yuan remained steadfast in acting as a cold-hearted bitch until he perished and his body became hollow to be his vessel.

Was it a deliberate action to gain Rong Suyin’s sympathy to let him go out and fulfill his desire for fame and be an international model?

It’s a little far-fetched but still worth considering.

Or maybe that’s his true feelings speaking at that time.

Most likely.

Based on the intense love of the original Shen Yuan towards Yanyan, there’s a possibility that Shen Yuan left the child because... he was scared?

"I can’t remember any of it, Dad. I’m sorry, but can you tell me what I was like then?"

Only then did Rong Suyin remember that Shen Yuan had amnesia, so he panicked, "Oh, my, it slipped my mind that you are... I’m afraid making you remember those painful memories will harm you, so let’s leave it at that for now and enjoy the party," He stood up but was surprised when Shen Yuan held his wrist and stopped himself from walking away.

"Xiaoyuan?"

The fox spirit realized his blunder, so he snappily let go of Rong Suyin’s thin wrist. "Sorry, Dad. I was just very eager to know what was happening to me at that time. You know, even if I lost my memories. My love for Yanyan remained, and it lingers in my heart. I just can’t think of why I chose to part with my son."

Shen Yuan lowered his head, and his face veiled with sadness. At this moment, he is as good as a talented actor who completely sympathizes with his character’s internal struggle.

His emotions are on point, and none of his words are false, as those were the words that he wanted to say. He’s not just pretending or acting.

"These past few days, I thought maybe I was just simply a bad parent."

"Yuan!" Rong Suyin tapped Shen Yuan’s shoulder hard, looking stressed and helpless.

"You’re not a bad Dad! You-" Rong Suyin sighed heavily. "Fine, I will tell you, but I won’t tell you in detail, okay?."

It wasn’t a secret to Rong Suyin and Bai Weisheng that his son and Shen Yuan maintained a very stiff and almost business-like relationship. It concerns them at first because they are worried that they are emotionally hurting each other. However, upon seeing that the entire set-up didn’t bother the two young individuals and both were satisfied with how things were, they opted to leave it to fate and let the two act freely.

Especially to Rong Suyin, as he is afraid that meddling in the children’s relationship will only make it more strained than it already is.

This kind of setup lasted even after Shen Yuan gave birth to a beautiful baby boy whom they fondly called Yanyan. But if there’s an improvement, Shen Yuan has started to warm up, and the initially cold, unfeeling prince of the Shen Family is beginning to open up to them.

Everything is going well, or at least that’s what Rong Suyin thought. Three months after giving birth, Shen Yuan suddenly barged into their house, cradling little Yanyan in his arms.

His face was pale and drenched with cold sweat. Rong Suyin had never seen Shen Yuan messy like that, so he instantly knew something was up.

"You were barely keeping yourself together when we talked that time. You refused to say what the real problem was but your eyes were striking me with fear and something else that I cannot put a word to describe. It’s something in between helplessness and suppressed anger. I can’t be sure what you feel at that time. Many years have also passed so that I might be mistaken."

Shen Yuan nodded in understanding.

Then Rong Suyin added with a profound expression, "But something stuck out for me, the line where you said that Yanyan will not be safe when you are near him. I was shocked when you said it so..."

All of a sudden, things started to get weird through Shen Yuan’s eyes. Rong Suyin’s action became slow, as though it was buffering.

"What-" Shen Yuan suddenly felt a sharp pang on his head. From the upbeat scene of the party, his surroundings suddenly changed into the familiar living room of the Bai Mansion. He was standing in front of the seated Rong Suyin, who was teary and covering his mouth with his hand.

"Xiaoyuan, what— what do you mean by that? You are doing extremely well as a Dad. If you feel like you are tired or if you feel like you’re suffering from postpartum depression, then we will help you. D-don’t be shy with me. I have been your Daddy’s best friend for years, you know that. And I promised I would take care of you before he—"

"Father-in-law..." A guttural sound interrupted him softly.

From his peripheral vision, he saw a familiar figure sitting with long silver hair.

In that person’s hands lies a tiny baby letting out cooing sounds.

The hands that Shen Yuan used to touch the child tenderly were slightly trembling.

"I wouldn’t deny that I am doing this because of my own problems. But it isn’t something about my emotions or what I think about myself," the platinum-blonde omega closed his reddened eyes as if he were in pain.

"It’s the fact that I wasn’t complete yet, Father-in-law. I would only be a danger to him if I were to stay beside him in this state. Especially now that there’s..."

Shen Yuan abruptly stopped and just bit his lips. He looked down, and a lone bitter tear dropped at the plump white cheeks of the child.

But the omega quickly wiped it away with his caring hands.

At this moment, he knew in his guts that what he saw now was the memory of the original Shen Yuan. He didn’t react badly and tried to remain calm as he watched things unfold. To be honest, this scenario is giving him a cumbersome feeling.

His heart feels like it’s being squeezed as he looks at this original Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan may have tried to keep his strong and straight posture to appear okay, but the celestial fox spirit could see his eyes were screaming for help.

"Yuan, you!" Rong Suyin was startled when Shen Yuan stood up and then gently handed the baby to him. He was panicking as he turned to the young omega, but not a single word came out when he saw the eyes of the young omega.

"Father-in-law, please."

After saying this, Shen Yuan dropped his knees to the ground and kowtowed. He threw away the last shred of dignity and inhibition in his body.

"Why are you like this, Yuan? Why are you not saying anything to make me understand what is happening? What made you act this desperate? Come on, we could ask Weisheng for his help. And Tingfeng, too. He is already your husband, so whatever problem you have, we can help you with it," Rong Suyin said, frustrated.

"Waaah! Waaah!" the baby’s distressed cry echoed in the halls.

Shen Yuan flinched at the sound of the child’s cry, but he just kowtowed in front of his father-in-law. "Father-in-law, please! Protect Yanyan when I am gone! And please keep it from saying to Tingfeng. I’ll tell him when time is right. Please! Please!"

The desperate pleas resounded inside the living room, together with the cries of the little child.

The sight and sound is simply like a tug in his heartstrings.

"Xiaoyuan?" He suddenly felt someone gently tapping his shoulders, erasing the scenario he was viewing and replacing it with reality.

"Dad..." he trailed off. He blinked to regain focus because his father-in-law’s face seemed a little blurry.

"Are you okay? You suddenly entered a trance state, and you started tearing up. What... Wait, did you regain all your lost memories? Oh my god! Does your head hurt or something? Shall we take you to the hospital?"

Shen Yuan quickly held down his father-in-law, whose hobby for the day was panicking. "No, Dad! I am fine. Just a small chunk of memory returned, so it doesn’t hurt."

He doesn’t know if headaches and regaining memories are connected somehow, so he just said it to prove a point.

"Sure?" Rong Suyin carefully asked.

It made Shen Yuan remember the memory he saw.

"Sure," Shen Yuan answered. He held his father-in-law’s hand. "From now on, Dad. I will try my best to share with you my concerns if ever I have one."

"Xiaoyuan!" Rong Suyin subconsciously touched his chest emotionally. "You don’t have to stretch yourself like that. Just be happy."
