CH 53

~End of chapter 52

Shen Yi looked at the person wriggling restlessly in his arms and said, “She’s drunk now, she’s about to go to sleep.”

Lu Wanwan’s mother kept her calm and composure: “Take good care of her.”

Then she hung up the phone as quickly as she could.

Shen Yi carried the person home, helped her undress and wiped her body, before putting the person on the bed. He also did not forget to tuck her in the blanket.

He also undressed himself and went to sleep beside her, he held the person in his arms but didn’t do anything else.

Chapter 53

(21.4)

Lu Wanwan slept badly that night. In the middle of the night, her chest felt stuffy and she was short of breath, later she also had a nightmare.

She dreamed of that night where she jumped from the tenth floor and where she fell heavily on the ground. It really hurt. In her ears, in addition to the sound of the wind, there also seemed to be the hoarse voice of a man.

In the bedroom of that apartment where she had been forced to stay for more than ten years, the man dressed in a black shirt was holding a box in his hands. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head bowed and his eyes downcast, there was absolutely no light in his pupils.

The slightly upturned corners of his lips looked a little frightening.

His ghastly white face was bloodless.

His throat was so hoarse that one couldn’t even hear his original voice. The man gently stroked the box in his arms and pronounced syllable after syllable, “Lu Wanwan.”

There was hatred, and there was also pain.

Shen Yi was a light sleeper. The slightest movement of the person in his arms could wake him up.

Lu Wanwan who was in the middle of a dream seemed to be undergoing a horrible nightmare, she was leaning on his body with all of her strength, her eyelashes were shaking as her small hands were clinging to his waist.

Shen Yi wrapped his arms tightly around her and patted her back to soothe her.

Although Lu Wanwan stopped shivering, she was awakened by her terror.

Shen Yi asked, “What did you dream about?” What could possibly have made her so afraid ?

Lu Wanwan opened her mouth: “I dreamed I was dead.”

“……”

(22.1)

Lu Wanwan was very frightened by this dream, her face looked weak and was full of cold sweat.

She was still in a daze until the next morning. When she got up from the bed, it was already late, but Shen Yi was still in the living room, he didn’t go to the office.

These past few days, Lu Wanwan often saw Shen Yi on the phone. As usual, he didn’t speak much and most of the time the only thing he answered was: “Don’t worry about it.”

But Lu Wanwan suspected that something at Shen Yi’s work must have gone wrong, maybe he was going bankrupt like it was written in the original novel!

Good, they were one step closer to the male lead’s darkening.

Shen Yi put away his phone, his eyes fell on her without hesitation. He asked, “Are you still going to go out to work today?”

Lu Wanwan shook her head, “No.”

That hosting job, which Zhao Zhao found for her, ended yesterday, she had even been paid the salary in advance, it was now on her account and the money was much more than what Lu Wanwan imagined it would be.

As they were talking, Shen Yi’s phone rang once again. She didn’t know who called, but his face became ugly, his knuckles turned white from clenching his fists and the corners of his eyes also turned red.

Lu Wanwan went to the kitchen in silence and went back to the Lu family house after she had breakfast.

Since he became aware that she was intending to divorce Shen Yi, Lu Wanwan’s father called her many times on the phone. His overall message was an advise telling her to calm down and not be impulsive. He also praised Shen Yi up to the sky.

After she came back home, Lu Wanwan’s father, who was sitting upright on the sofa, had a stern face and looked quite intimidating, “You are finally willing to come back and listen to me properly.”

Before he could say two words on the phone, his daughter would hung up on him.

Or she would answer a few perfunctory “hmm”, and what he said would enter her left ear and go right out the right ear, she didn’t consider at all what he was saying as important.

Lu Wanwan huffed and puffed before sitting on the seat opposite her father. She bit into an apple while saying, “I don’t care, I just want a divorce.”

Lu Wanwan’s father who was already aware that Shen Yi was a very big fish, naturally was unwilling to just let go of him. During their married life, his daughter had not behaved accordingly, she had done many untoward things, and he, as her father, was very clear about it inside. Besides, before, their whole family of four, had also bullied Shen Yi quite a lot.

If these two really divorced, in case Shen Yi wanted to settle both old and new accounts, their Lu family wouldn’t be able to survive ah.

Lu Wanwan’s father felt that right now, he wasn’t coaxing his daughter, but his ancestor ah !

He spoke sincere and meaningful words to his daughter, “What’s wrong with Shen Yi that you absolutely want to have a divorce? He’s treating you well, besides, back then you were the one who wanted to marry him, so how come you can’t stand it anymore now?”

Lu Wanwan’s neck became stiff, she closed her eyes and said, “He has no money ah! I can’t stand it anymore, I’ve endured it for a long time already wu wu wu, dad, I can’t and won’t stand it any longer.”

Her eyes secretly slit open, she carefully gauged her dad’s face before continuing, “Dad, I’ve been your little baby in the palm of your hand since I was little, can you bear to see me suffer all the time wu wu wu.”

Lu Wanwan’s father was on the verge of suffocating, Shen Yi used to be very poor, that was true ! But times were different now, who knew that his family background would so extraordinary, how many people in the capital had to listen to the Shen family to do anything ?
