Chapter 401 Of course there were selfish motives.

"Self-interest? Yes! Definitely! Only a saint would be without selfishness. I am not a saint. I have emotions and desires, so of course I have selfishness!" Lei Jingwu was also very frank.

Yao Shula snorted and leaned back on the sofa.

Lei Jingwu quickly took the fruit that Yao Shula had cut with one hand and used a fork in the other to feed the fruit to Yao Shula's mouth.

Those movements were so skillful... you could tell they were done by experienced workers.

Yao Shula chewed on some fruit, then glanced at Lei Jingwu.

The meaning is very clear, so hurry up and say it!

Lei Jingwu was still holding the plate of fruit in his hand, waiting for Yao Shula to finish chewing the fruit in her mouth before quickly offering her another piece.

After Yao Shula glanced at him again, Lei Jingwu finally spoke.

“If the younger ones stay by your side, they’ll become too dependent on you. Wouldn’t it be better to let them go out and fly around?” Lei Jingwu said.

Yao Shula was stunned.

What does that mean? According to Lei Jingwu's statement, he has delayed the three younger ones from becoming the kings of the sky?

Seeing Yao Shula glaring at him, Lei Jingwu quickly explained again.

"Don't rush me, let me finish, okay? Even fruit can't shut you up."

Here, have another piece!

Shura, I do have selfish motives. I was thinking that when the three of them were little, you protected them so well. Now that they've grown up, shouldn't they be stronger enough to protect you?

I don't want you to focus all your energy on them like before.

You should also have your own life.

When they were little, you protected them. Now that they've grown up, they should be stronger to protect you.

"I don't want to see you still thinking about your younger siblings all the time, Shura. Can't you think about yourself for a moment?" Lei Jingwu kept looking at Yao Shura's expression.

Yao Shuli stopped eating her fruit and frowned as she looked at Lei Jingwu.

Why does Lei Jingwu think he is so selfless, never thinking of himself, and only has three little ones in his heart?

Is the persona she established back then still so solid?

"Lei Jingwu, you must have misunderstood something... I really didn't..."

"What would I misunderstand?" Lei Jingwu snorted at Yao Shula for the first time.

Lei Jingwu placed the fruit he was holding on the coffee table and began to explain his thoughts.

"From the moment I met you, you always had those three little ones in your heart: Shuxin, Shuli, and Tiantian."

You yourself told me, after you and your father had a falling out, what did you do that wasn't for the sake of those three kids?

Yao Shula, sometimes I wonder if you've lived your whole life just for those three kids! Can't you have a life of your own?

"Can't you think about yourself a little? Can't you be a little selfish?" Lei Jingwu said, pinching Yao Shula's cheek angrily.

Yao Shula was speechless!

No, she's really not that selfless! At first, she was just focused on completing the task, but of course, she genuinely felt sorry for the three younger ones later on.

Of course, it's heartbreaking to see someone without parents!

"I really didn't..." Yao Shula wanted to explain further.

"What do you mean, 'no'? Think about it yourself! When Shuxin wanted to go abroad, what was your first thought? What if Shuxin was bullied abroad?!"

What if Shuxin can't get used to white food?

If it were possible, you'd probably want to fly over there just to take care of Shuxin!

"When Shuxin first arrived abroad and was having some trouble adjusting, every time you received a call from her, your eyes would be red, and you'd be so worried you couldn't eat or sleep!" Lei Jingwu said bluntly.

Yao Shula...

"I don't!"

"No? Okay, let's not talk about Shuxin anymore. Shuxin is used to being outside now, so you're not worried about her. What about Shuli?"

When Shuli said she was going to Hong Kong, were you worried? Were you worried that Shuli wouldn't be able to understand what people were saying there, or that she would be bullied?

And there's Xiaotiantian.

You tell me, every time Xiao Tiantian comes in, don't you rush to check on him, afraid that he might have bumped or hurt himself somewhere?

When Xiaotian is in a bad mood, you're the first to notice, and then you spend ages comforting her.

"Yao Shula, you treat those three little ones like your own eyes," Lei Jingwu said bluntly.

Yao Shula...

Shouldn't it be so?

Shuxin is so successful. She's a girl from a small county town who has earned her doctorate abroad through her own abilities. Shouldn't I cherish Shuxin like the apple of my eye?

Shu Li is so amazing. This boy from a small county town became a billionaire at the age of eighteen and put all his wealth in his older sister's name. Shouldn't I cherish Shu Li like the apple of my eye?

Tian Tian is so adorable. Yet, this rich young master only thinks about giving his adopted older sister a good life. He's the kind of person who would abandon his own cousin to protect her. Shouldn't he treat Tian Tian like the apple of his eye?

Oh, that's still not right!

After all, she's not Erlang Shen; she doesn't have three eyes...

"What? Speechless now? Finally, we can see you not being so sharp-tongued!" Lei Jingwu was overjoyed to see Yao Shula not arguing back.

Yao Shula came closer and looked at Lei Jingwu's face with both hands.

“You’re not eighteen, why are you acting like a child! Lei Jingwu, are you concerned about me? Or are you jealous?” Yao Shula asked seriously.

Lei Jingwu's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"No! I just... I want you to not have to live such a tiring life. I want you to think more about yourself from now on."

Shula, whether it's Shuxin, Shuli, or even when they grow up day by day, they can all go very far.

They will protect you from now on. So, you should live your life well, okay? Lei Jingwu looked at Yao Shula seriously.

Yao Shula thought about it and decided it wasn't a bad idea.

At first, I only wanted to raise Shuxin and Shuli peacefully, but now the two of them have grown beyond my imagination.

The mission is accomplished; it's time for me to enjoy life.

“Okay! I’ll definitely treat myself better from now on!” Yao Shuli immediately agreed.

Lei Jingwu breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Yao Shula had agreed; as for whether she could actually do it, they'd see!

If she's not good to him, then he'll just have to be extra good to her!

"Also, you can be nicer to me in the future!" Lei Jingwu added.

Yao Shula...

So that's what they were waiting for!

"Okay! I'll definitely treat you better in the future."

"Oh, will you be in Shanghai next week? If you are, could you do me a favor?" Yao Shula suddenly said something.

Lei Jingwu was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"You're in Shanghai! You'll be in Shanghai before the Lunar New Year. What brings you here?"

“Shuxin is coming back for the New Year, take me to the airport to pick her up!” Yao Shula said with a smile.
