Shen Qing was a little stunned.
'Was the one who did all this really my son?'
After a ten-year absence, she had only just accepted that her soft, adorable baby had suddenly grown into a clever, handsome boy. And now, that clever, handsome boy seemed to have grown up overnight, becoming a young man capable of shouldering the responsibilities of the nation.
