On the carriage, Yi Meng'er asked everyone what they wanted to eat. After thinking for a long time, she took care of Yu Tian Heng's taste and suggested that they eat seafood porridge. However, the moment the idea came out, Huixiang rejected it. "What's the point of eating congee? It's neither fragrant nor sweet."
"Then what do you think is interesting?" Jian Qian Ning turned to look at her and asked with a smile.
"Why don't we go eat some kebabs? The one we used to go to before." The corners of Huixiang's eyes curved into a smile.
Jian Qian Ning fell silent. Yi Meng'er chuckled and looked at Yu Tian Heng, "I'm afraid Young Master Heng isn't used to eating yet. How about we ask Young Master Heng what he wants to eat? Young Master Heng should have more experience in this area than us. What do you think, Young Master Heng?"
"Me?" Yu Tianheng glanced at her in the rearview mirror and said, "I'll eat anything you like."
Although he had never gone to those small barbecue shops to eat kebabs, he was not hungry and did not want to make things difficult for them. Upon hearing his words, Hui Xiang immediately snapped her fingers in satisfaction. "Our young master has finally grown up!"
Thus, they turned around and headed towards the barbecue bar that the three of them would occasionally go to in the past.
The barbecue bar was not very big, but there were a lot of people. They could bake themselves with charcoal, or the restaurant could bake them and send them up. Jane Qianyu and Huixiang usually asked the waiter to roast them and send them up. This time was the same as well. That way, the taste would be much better.
In addition to ordering a bunch of barbeques, he also ordered a batch of spleen wine. Looking at the golden colored beer, Jian Qian Ning found it hard to believe that a rich man like Yu Tian Heng, who usually drank only famous wines, could drink this kind of cheap spleen wine. Bringing him to eat this kind of street food was already very excessive, and he even wanted him to drink beer? She felt that she really had let him down.
"Young Master Heng, can you drink beer?" Yi Meng'er sat opposite Yu Tianheng and asked.
Yu Tianheng didn't even have time to say anything when Hui Xiang laughed and said, "Don't think of the rich as gods. They don't eat mortal food. The rich only like to drink beer and eat snacks. Young Master Heng should have drank beer before, right?"
She asked the last half of her sentence while looking at Yu Tian Heng. Yu Tian Heng nodded and smiled: "Of course I have."
Qian Ning was finally relieved. Yi Meng'er took the initiative to serve each of them a cup of wine. She raised her wine glass and smiled. "I'm very grateful for your support today. I'm really moved, especially Young Master Heng …"
"Why especially Young Master Heng?" Yi Meng'er laughed. "I'm not done yet, especially with Young Master Heng. Thank you for finding shelter for the children in the orphanage in the west of the city. The new residence is much better than before and the facilities are much better as well.
Yi Meng'er raised her glass, slightly lifting her face and leading the way by gulping down the beer in one gulp.
Yu Tian Heng said nonchalantly: "No need to thank me, Qian Ning wanted me to do so. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed."
"Me?" Jian Qian Ning, who was originally drinking, choked upon hearing his words before she lay down on the table and started to cough heavily. Seeing that, Yu Tian Heng frowned, he immediately put down his wine cup, and used his palm to pat her back.
It was only after coughing for a long time that Qian Ning managed to catch her breath. She laughed embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure." As she spoke, she didn't forget to cast a doubtful gaze at Yu Tian Heng. How come she didn't know that she had requested this of him? She only told him not to develop the land, she remembered, and she didn't seem to ask him to find another place for the children.
On the other hand, Yu Tianheng purposely avoided her puzzled gaze, purposely not responding to her. He was not just randomly spouting nonsense. When Jian Qian Ning told him about the orphanage, she used to ask him in a disappointed tone, "Don't tell me you don't care about it at all …?"
With that one sentence, his heart felt as if it had been pierced by something. Perhaps he would miss it, but he was not the Head of the Imperial Family, so he had no right to ask Master Yu to leave the ground that he had spent tens of millions of dollars on. The only thing he could do was to arrange living quarters for the children so that they wouldn't have to sleep in the streets.
When Yi Meng'er heard his words, surprise flashed past her eyes. She raised her wine glass and smiled, "In that case, I should be thanking Qian Ning. Qian Ning, let me toast you again. The dean always said that you are a kind child."
Jian Qian Ning shook her head and chuckled, "What are you thanking me for? The orphanage is our home. If it wasn't for the orphanage, we wouldn't have known what to look like. "I remember when we were kids, the three of us together …"
"Qian Ning, try this meat skewer first." Yi Meng'er suddenly placed a skewer into her plate and said, "Let's see if it tastes the same as before. We haven't been to this shop for a long time, let's try it out on Huixiang." As he said this, he also took a stick for Huixiang, then he said to Yu Tian Heng, "There's also Young Master Heng, you haven't eaten anything before. If it's tasty, you can always come back."
When the conversation was interrupted, Jian Chen didn't care too much about it. He picked up the skewer and took a bite. Then, he nodded, "It's still the same flavor as before." She turned her head to see Yu Tian Heng looking at the meat skewers, looking as if he wanted to eat it but didn't want to. She thought to herself, just what is he afraid of? Afraid of the heat or afraid of dirt? She smiled and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's only one time. I won't eat a dead person."
Yu Tian Heng wasn't afraid of eating the dead, but he didn't have the habit of eating meat skewers. In this kind of small barbecue bar, he still had to accept the admiring gazes of the females from time to time.
From the moment he entered, countless women were attracted to his elegance and nobility, infatuated with him. Although he had long since gotten used to other people's infatuation, the situation now was different!
Yu Tian Heng took a bite of the meat and saw the three women looking at him expectantly. He looked at everyone and said exasperatedly: "Why are you guys looking at me? Wait for me to say that the kebabs are delicious? "
"Then you mean the kebabs are delicious?" Hui Xiang laughed and said, "Not bad! I finally don't have to feel guilty anymore. "
After everyone had eaten for a while, Huixiang suddenly raised her head and asked as if she had thought of something, "Right, Meng'er, was the story you told me about the necklace real or fake? How come I've never heard you mention it? "
The moment her question came out, Jian QianNing and Yi Meng'er subconsciously looked at each other. She looked at Yi Meng'er, obviously waiting for her reply. A trace of guilt flashed past Yi Meng'er's eyes. She smiled and said, "It's all in the past. I don't want to talk about it."
Huixiang didn't hear the panic in her tone, she opened her mouth and complained, "Which man has no conscience? He actually dares to leave our Dream? Was that man's eyes covered in oil? How can men these days be so heartless? "
"Huixiang!" Yi Meng'er took a quick glance at Yu Tian Heng and saw that he was also looking at her. Yi Meng'er's heart started pounding furiously. She pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "I'll tell you about this later. Let's not talk about the old things now, it's a girl's heart after all, we can't say it in front of Young Master Heng right?"
"Oh wow, Young Master Heng is no longer an outsider, he's already with Qian Ning." Huixiang refused to give up.
Yi Meng'er was troubled for a moment, but the situation became quiet in an instant. Just as everyone was silent, Yu Tian Heng suddenly asked, "Can I have a look at the necklace?"
Yi Meng'er and Jian Qian Ning looked at him in surprise after hearing his words. They saw that he was serious and not joking. Yi Meng'er opened her mouth and said, "Eh …" "Young Master Heng, I'm sorry, I just put the necklace in my colleague's bag."
Yu Tianheng made a low 'hmm' sound, then raised his glass and took a sip of beer. He did not press her further, and Yi Meng'er was finally relieved. She started to ask everyone to eat the kebabs to change the topic.
She was afraid that Jane Qian Ning would tell her story about the necklace, reveal her lies, and see that she didn't have any intentions of destroying her own story. She even gave her a grateful look, so she couldn't wait to change the subject.
After the barbeque was done, it was already past one o'clock. Apart from Yu Tianheng who wanted to drive, everyone else was slightly tipsy. Yu Tian Heng looked at everyone with a slight headache. He never thought that he would end up as a driver as well.
However, Huixiang and Yi Meng'er lived in two separate districts. Yu Tianheng first sent Yi Meng'er back to her single apartment. It was a very new garden. When Yi Meng'er got out of the car, she leaned on the window beside Qian Ning and stared at her. A charming smile blossomed on her scarlet face as she said, "Qian Ning, thank you. You and Young Master Heng will be happy …"
She smiled again, and Jane was surprised. She didn't understand why she would suddenly wish her happiness. She held Yi Meng'er's hand and asked with concern, "Meng'er, are you alright? Do you want me to send you up? "
"It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy. I'll just go back and lie down." After she finished speaking, she waved to everyone, turned around, and walked into the garden. Although she kept on saying that she was fine, her slightly unstable footsteps allowed others to see that she was drunk.
"Monster's a bit weird tonight." After saying that, she fell asleep. The person who said that had no interest in listening to her, so she turned around and stared blankly at him. It turned out that Huixiang also thought Yi Meng'er was strange. She wasn't the one thinking too much!
After sending Hui Xiang back, Yu Tianheng drove the car back to Yu Family Mansion. It was already 2 in the morning by the time he got back. Yu Tian Heng first went to take a bath, then went to sleep. He was too sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.
After taking a shower and washing her hair, she went to the guest room to dry her hair before returning to her bedroom. When he came back, he saw that Yu Tian Heng seemed to be having a nightmare. His forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat, and his expression was painful. His slender fingers were tightly clenched into a fist.
He had not had a nightmare for some time. Why did he do it again tonight? Jian Qian Ning rushed forward, bent down, and used a dry towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead as she called out anxiously, "Tian Heng, Tian Heng, wake up …"
When he was having nightmares, he was always in so much pain that he felt as if he were being pressed down by something. Although she was not familiar with that feeling, she had tried it once or twice, and it was indeed painful …
"Tian Heng!" Jian Qian Ning increased the power in her hands and pushed on his arm, calling his name again and again.
Finally, Yu Tianheng woke up. He suddenly opened his eyes. What he saw was that small concerned face of Jane Qianlin, that face that was somewhat similar to the one in his dreams … He suddenly felt a sense of fear. In his dream just now, he could finally see the little girl's face. It was an unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar face. He could not recall where he had seen it before. It was only when he opened his eyes and saw Jian QianNing that he finally understood …
Yu Tian Heng suddenly extended his hands and pulled her into his embrace. As for the woman who was bending over to look down at him, she was hugged by him and fell heavily onto his body. With a "peng" sound, he did not even scream out in pain.
"Tian Heng, what happened to you?" Jian Qianyu was tightly hugged by her. She was shocked and astonished at the same time. He had never been like this before, never holding her, never showing such a moved expression. Just what was wrong with him today?
"I seemed to have dreamt of you just now, but I'm not like you. That girl is more lively than you, and more confident than you …"
That girl wasn't her. Jane smiled wryly in her heart. She was no longer lively or cheerful. However, she did not say it out loud. Instead, she used her slender fingers to stroke his forehead and gently comforted him, "Tian Heng, if you have thoughts in your heart, then you will see them in your dreams. Maybe it's because I'm sleeping by your side that you think of others as mine."
Yu Tian Heng's agitated heart calmed down, but he still held her, every breath in her ear. She was right, because he had never dreamed of her before.
Recently, when he was busy with his work, he was no longer disgusted with her. Instead, he had distanced himself from the women outside. He carried her to sleep every night and slept peacefully. The chances of having nightmares also lessened until today …
Having just seen Yi Meng'er's necklace in the Grand Theater, he felt a little absent-minded all night. He didn't expect to start having nightmares the moment he fell asleep. In the dream, the messy scene was loose and inexplicable. There was no confusion at all!
Yu Tian Heng slightly closed his eyes, and finally fell asleep again, his arms tightly wrapped around her as he fell asleep.
Only after hearing that his breathing was even did she dare to move her body and carefully climb up from his body. After tucking him in, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him. What sort of nightmare was it that kept haunting him?
The nightmare had followed him from the moment she had married him until now. Every time she was tormenting him, she could only stand to one side and do nothing but watch as he suffered like he was in purgatory, yet she could do nothing to help him.
