His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Shi Guang’s little heart pitter-pattered. This Mrs. Lu was way easier to talk to than she had imagined!

If she could reason with her and come to an emotional understanding, would she be able to terminate the contract without having herself to pay the penalty?

Just as Shi Guang was contemplating about how she should start off with this, Shen Lingshuang’s voice floated into her ears again.

“Ah, girls are really so nice! Ever so gentle and doting! Your father and mother must be really fortunate to have such a wonderful daughter such as yourself, unlike my entire family of sons. You can’t even imagine how much I wished for a daughter such as yourself! I’ve given birth to three sons prior, and was thinking that my fourth child would definitely be a daughter. But alas, it was still a son. Hais!”

Everything that Shen Lingshuang said were truths from the bottom of her heart.

Even though they had only just met, this short period of time was already enough for her to look at Shi Guang time and again.

This lass here was pretty, with a rather decent disposition. At the same time, she was gentle with her words, and was extremely polite. This was the type of daughter she wanted, one that was refreshing and sweet, giving off the feeling of lemongrass.

“…” Other than smiling foolishly, Shi Guang did not know what else she could say.

If this were any normal auntie, things would be fine. The problem was that this was the mother of her ex-boyfriend. She truly had no way of acting at ease in her presence.

She lowered her eyes and sipped a mouthful of tea, preparing to get to the main topic, “Mrs. Lu, even though I’ve been swimming for a number of years now, my experience in teaching others is limited. Also, Young Master Lu is rather…unique. With just my capabilities, I don’t think that I am able to teach him properly. Would you like to…?”

“Nonono! I want you. I think that you’re better than any other coach out there…” Shen Lingshuang cut Shi Guang through her words.

She extended her hand once again over the table and grabbed onto the latter’s, which was placed on the table, “I know that teaching my son is really tough. He has a prideful character, and is always cold and ignoring others. But, he’s actually not like that! He used to be really cute and loved to smile in the past…He was my endearing little heartwarmer!”

Shi Guang’s mouth nearly cramped up, “…”

Endearing little heartwarmer? There was absolutely no way she could relate those four words together with Lu Yanchen.

The Lu Yanchen that she knew was someone who was cold and aloof. Even if he was so enraged that he could kill someone, he would still be able to find some way to hold that back in and face one with a cold, indifferent calmness, just like an iceberg.

“When Yanchen was in junior high school, he fell into the waters and nearly drowned. Thankfully, someone saved him up. As to why he fell into the waters, he did not tell the reason at all. But ever since then, his personality changed entirely. The doctors said that it was some PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or something. Even after treatment, patients would often leave with some side effects, such as a cold personality, strong controlling obsessions…Ever since then, he maintained some distance even from this birth mother of his…”

As Shen Lingshuang continued explaining, she started sniffing. In the blink of an eye, her eyes were filled with sparkling beads of tears.

She was going to cry…! Shi Guang jolted in shock and consoled her hurriedly, “While he may be cold, I’m sure he still loves you as a mother very much!”

She had once thought of Mrs. Lu with many images: elegant, poised, strong, arrogant, and even harsh. But, she had really never imagined that she would be such a cute softie type.

Shen Lingshuang nodded her head and replied sadly, “He has had water vertigo for many years now, and we’ve hired a lot of coaches. But, he has always rejected them. You’re the first coach he was willing to accept!”

Gripping her hand tightly, she said, “I’ll entrust my son to you! Please, please teach him properly and help him overcome his water vertigo!”

As she blinked her eyes, it was as though she was about to cry out once more. Even if she was getting on with age, the way she looked as she was about to cry was still ever so beautiful.

Shi Guang was someone who could not bear to see beautiful women cry at all as she subconsciously nodded her head. By the time she realized what she was nodding her head to, she shook her head again immediately, “I can’t, I can’t! Even though he agreed to come for lessons, he refused to get into the water at all! He is still objecting to it!”
