Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
s.h.i.+ Guang had never once thought that Lu Yanchen would bring her to her parents’ grave and carry such a heavy burden onto himself entirely, all for the sake of relieving her from her internal turmoil and pain.
It was easy falling in love with someone. But, to stick to the same woman one loved, be it in the past or the future, that was a tall task.
After all, the most beautiful things were always those one couldn’t get.
She had always thought that the luckiest thing that happened in her life was to have met Lu Yanchen. It was only after she found out about Yang Sitong’s motives that she began to hate this luck of hers. Yet, she could not control the overwhelming love she had either.
She had thought about how life would be like had she not met Lu Yanchen.
There would have been no Yang Sitong in her life, and probably none of those misfortunes either.
But, what about Lu Yanchen? Who would have saved him…?
In the past, s.h.i.+ Guang had always felt that one of the stupidest questions to ask was about who the husband would save if his mother and mother-in-law both fell into the water at the same time.
But, now that she thought about it, that seemingly unreasonable and ridiculous question was actually rather meaningful. After all, one’s time, energy, and money were limited.
At times, they would often be led to a path with two opposing choices.
So, between her parents and her boyfriend, who should she side?
That was a question that would never have an answer to.
After returning from the cemetery, s.h.i.+ Guang followed Lu Yanchen home. The two of them lay on the bed and embraced one another tightly, remaining silent for the longest period of time and just merely enjoying each other’s warmth.
Before long, s.h.i.+ Guang fell asleep.
It was a probably a lovely dream she was having as her lips curled up faintly.
Looking at her, Lu Yanchen kissed her on the forehead.
Just as he was readying himself to fall asleep with her, his phone rang out as he hurriedly pressed it off, afraid that she might wake up. Seeing that it was a call from work, he carefully got out of bed and headed to the study to return the call.
By the time he was done and returned, it was already an hour past.
He looked at the fast asleep person on the bed—her lovely dream seemed to have manifested into a nightmare as her brows were furrowed tightly.
With a face pale as a sheet, her body convulsed slightly while she gripped a corner of her pants, looking all helpless and despaired.
“Littly…” He called out softly.
No response—she seemed immersed in the nightmare.
“s.h.i.+ Littly, wake up…” He pushed her slightly.
s.h.i.+ Guang shrieked in a shrill voice as she bolted upright on the bed.
Her forehead was dripping with sweat entirely while her heart pounded so fiercely that it could burst out of her chest. Just like that, her vision was fixated straight ahead with widened eyes for the longest period of time.
What sort of a dream was it for her to be this scared? Lu Yanchen’s long, slender fingers moved out and caressed her on the cheeks gently, trying to help her purge her fears away while wiping her sweat.
“Littly…”
Hearing that familiar voice, s.h.i.+ Guang’s gaze s.h.i.+fted blankly. It was only till she caught sight of that gorgeous face of his that she realized it was no longer a dream.
She then hugged him tightly as her eyes reddened.
“Alright, it’s alright now. It was just a dream.” He did not know what sort of a dream it was for her to be so horrified, but he guessed it should be of Mo Feifei.
He did not want to admit it, but he could not deny it at times that he was rather jealous of Mo Feifei.
s.h.i.+ Guang’s gaze was still fixated up ahead.
Was it just a dream?
Even if she knew she was awake right now, there was still semblances of confusion in her mind as she could barely make out reality from the dream earlier on.
