Chapter 69 - 69 Dream

"Don't speak slowly. Hurry up!" Su Mengsi felt her heart would burst out due to her anxiety. 'These dummies…'

"I am sure you didn't check her room in the farmhouse before returning home. She was extremely drunk and made a scene earlier before everyone. Sigh!... Luckily, only me, Ruming, Yanli and Haixiao were present then. So later I sent her to her room to rest." While speaking on the phone, he turned around and went back to his room with the phone and sat down on a sofa nearby. The guard kept standing outside, not daring to follow him. He curiously peeked in the room and glanced around.

"What did she do before you all? Hurry up. Tell me or else I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight." She walked to a side and half covered her mouth and spoke in a low voice so that old master Yan couldn't hear the conversation. Su Mengsi felt her heart dropping when she heard the things Yan Luhan told her. In her worry, she gripped the phone even tighter, causing her knuckles to turn white. Old master Yan knitted his brows as he saw her going a little further and whispering on the phone. It was clearly visible, she didn't want him to hear.

"Ah! Ma! I'm extremely sleepy now. She was just drunk then. No need to worry about. Just that...Bye. Let's talk tomorrow." Yan Luhan abruptly cut the line and signalled the guard to take it away. 

At first he wanted to tell her about the matter that Yan Ruomin slapped Ji Yanli but decided to tell her tomorrow morning. The guard took back his phone and slowly closed the door when he went back.

"Ahhh! Why disturb me in the middle of the night?" He grumbled in annoyance. After going back to the bed, he threw himself beside Mu Jiang and slept through the night in a slumber. 

"Hey! Luhan!" Su Mengsi tried to inquire about something more but the line was cut off.

"It's enough for today. It's very late at night. Let's go to the room. Talk to him tomorrow." Old master Yan walked beside her and took back the phone. He gripped her hand and dragged her inside of their master bedroom. Su Mengsi could only temporarily throw her concern behind her mind and hope that it wasn't something serious.

...

In the main "Sheng Villa".

Due to Wei Airan's constant nagging Sheng Ruming had to return to the 'Sheng Villa'. He wanted to return to Luo Lixi but his mother insisted on taking him with her. He insisted at first, telling her he had work and needed to return to his place. 

But Wei Airan asked Ji Yanli earlier If there was any important work remaining in the company for her son. She told her there wasn't. So Wei Airan was headstrong in her persistence to take him home along with her.

Sheng Ruming was helpless against his mother's resolution. If he insisted, again and again, to go away, his father would become suspicious and would definitely investigate him.

So he came with them here and now he was laying down on the bed in his pyjama while glancing at the full moon outside. His chest was bare because he didn't wear anything to cover it up. The silver light fell in the room, illuminating the darkroom.

Air conditioner in the room was turned off and the windows were kept open for the natural air to enter. He was feeling a little hot because he drank wine and champagne in there. Even if it was a not of large amount, he was feeling muddle-headed because his stomach was nearly empty back then.

Many thoughts were running in his messy mind at that time when he was gazing at the silvery moon. The time was passing by as his gaze became unfocused. His eyes closed themselves and he slipped into a deep sleep. One that made people very uncomfortable. 

The clock at the wall was running continuously while the curtains of the windows were fluttering in the cold air.

Tik-tok~, tik-tok~

In his sleep, he had a strange dream. In a wooden bench, he woke up in a curled position. He found himself in an unknown place filled with flowers. It was a field with rows after rows of colourful flowers as those reached till the horizons.

Though the area appeared familiar, he couldn't specifically recall where the place was. When Sheng Ruming checked himself when he saw himself in white shoes and a white formal suit. At first, he was bewildered. 'It is strange. I don't have any white suit in my closet.'

The sun shone brightly on the sky with its full glory.

In his confused mind, he glanced around and found a narrow path among the sea of flowers. He walked and stepped on it. He kept walking on it for a long time. Though his mind knew all of these were illusional, he had the urge to follow the path. He followed the voice from his inner mind.

After who knew how long he had walked, he saw fog right in front of him. His basic sense collapsed as he cast a glance towards the sun than in front of him. He consoled himself, it was certainly a dream so he shouldn't be so mindful.Without thinking anything further, he sped up and walked in large steps, in two minutes he entered into the mysterious fog and lost himself into it. 

After walking aimlessly in that white mist, he found himself in yet another place. This time it was a familiar place. The flower field was gone but it turned into a green field. Soft grass was all around the place. 

At a side, a narrow river was flowing slowly. It was nearly dried up but many little fishes were swimming on it. It could be seen by the naked eyes as the water was crystal clear.
