Aladdin Clam - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I hesitated for a second, then scrambled to my feet. The instant Shen Shixian turned around, I lunged over and wrapped my arms around his leg.

“Daddy!”

The driver froze on the spot, his gaze darting back and forth between me and Shen Shixian. “President Shen, this…”

A vein throbbed at Shen Shixian’s temple. “Call the police!”

In my head, I cursed the Clam to hell and back.

“Are you a scammer or what? I’m a twenty-three-year-old woman, and you’re making me call some man Daddy??”

The Clam: [Wrong one! Do it over! Quick, call him Ah Dan!]

Ah… Dan??

This Clam spirit wanted me to call Shen Shixian… Ah Dan?

The man was the richest person in A City, handsome, distinguished, and radiating menace.

And it wanted me to call him… Ah Dan??

Seeing that the driver really was about to call the police, I hurriedly stood up and shouted with deep, desperate emotion,

“Wait! Ah Dan! Don’t call the police!”

The driver’s hand trembled, and his phone smacked onto the ground.

Shen Shixian grabbed my wrist. “What did you just call me?”

Why such a big reaction?

“Ah… Dan?”

“Who are you?”

“I… I’m Qiu Yuebai.”

He narrowed his eyes in thought, as if searching his memory for the name Qiu Yuebai.

The Clam hurriedly cut in: [Tell him you’re Xu Rong’s friend!]

And who was Xu Rong??

Wasn’t I supposed to get three wishes granted once I found Shen Shixian?

How did this turn into some long-lost-relative soap opera??

“I’m Xu Rong’s friend!”

“I’ve never seen her with a friend like you.”

Me: “Online friend!”

Shen Shixian sneered. “Do you know what Xu Rong is to me?”

I was just about to shake my head when I instantly changed it to a nod.

“She said… you were a very important person in her life, an indelible mark.”

I had no idea what their relationship was, but I could make things up on the spot.

The Clam suddenly added: [Stop bragging! Hurry, pat his head and tell him Mom has never forgotten him.]

Me: ???

Mom???

I’d guessed lover, sibling, enemy, and now you were telling me it was his mom?

Shocked to my core, I asked inwardly, “You’re… his mom?”

The Clam suddenly turned shy and stopped talking.

The richest man in A City’s biological mother was a Clam??

Wasn’t it the Aladdin Clam I picked up while fishing in the river three days ago?

The moment I scooped it up, it started talking inside my head.

It said it could help me fulfill three wishes, on the condition that I first find Shen Shixian, Patriarch of the Shen Family.

[He owes me a debt. Find him, and I’ll give you anything you want.]

It took me half a month just to figure out which car belonged to Shen Shixian.

Rich people had so many cars. He drove a different one every day.

I lay down in front of the wrong five cars before I finally gambled on the right one.

I had been full of joy, ready to make my wishes.

And then it told me it was Shen Shixian’s mother??

Now that things had come this far, Shen Shixian clearly had no intention of letting me leave so easily.

I bit the bullet and rose onto my tiptoes.

He was pretty tall, but I could just barely reach.

“Shixian…”

Under his scrutinizing stare, my heart pounded with fear.

“Dandan… your mom has never forgotten you.”

The driver sucked in a sharp breath.

The ferocity in Shen Shixian’s eyes suddenly turned blank.

“Mom…”

“Who… exactly are you?”
