Chapter 44 "Can I help you shave?"
Ni Yang opened her eyes and found herself in her home in France. The floor-to-ceiling windows showed signs of late autumn. The sycamore trees were golden, and leaves were drifting in the wind.
The picture is filled with warm and hazy colors.
She saw her parents making a lot of noise in the kitchen.
Ni Junzhi, who was wearing home clothes, had cream on his hands and smeared it on Mu Qingyan's face in a mischievous way.
Mu Qingyan didn't show any mercy to the man. She just grabbed a handful of cream and splashed it on his face.
Ni Yang often saw this scene when she was young. Her parents showed their love by playing and fighting in the kitchen.
She hadn't seen him for a long time, and looked at him greedily and longingly. In the interval of playing, they found Ni Yang standing outside the kitchen.
Mu Qingyan smiled and waved her over.
"Yangyang, come here, your father bullies me, you have to help me."
Ni Junzhi immediately became unhappy, "Yangyang, help me, look at what your mother has done to your father's face, leaving only his eyes, nose and mouth exposed."
A smile graced the corners of Ni Yang's eyes. She wiped away the tears with the back of her hand and ran towards where her parents were.
Let her greedily feel the presence of her parents again. She put aside all thoughts and played with the couple.
Mom and Dad’s faces still looked so young. If she weren’t so old, she would feel like she had gone back in time.
After playing around, the two of them walked hand in hand in front of Ni Yang, sat on the apricot-colored sofa in the living room, and wiped the cream off each other's faces.
Ni Yang looked down and saw that the cream in her palm had disappeared, as had her parents' hands.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at the two people on the sofa. They were still there.
She went from a quick walk to a jog, then to the sofa, where she slowed down her pace.
Mu Qingyan saw her, moved to make room for the middle seat, and smiled gently, "Yangyang, come and sit here."
Ni Junzhi's face had been wiped clean, revealing his cold and elegant face. He looked back with a gentle expression on his face.
Ni Yang walked up to them and slowly sat between them. She didn't even want to blink, and tears welled up in her eyes as she watched.
Mu Qingyan raised her hand lovingly and used her fingertips to wipe the tears from Ni Yang's face. It was just a dream. Mom has no warmth.
Her tears flowed even harder, "Mom and Dad, I miss you so much."
Mu Qingyan: "Yangyang has grown up so much, and she is as beautiful as my mother imagined. Mom and Dad didn't accompany Yangyang to grow up, and Yangyang has been wronged for so many years."
Ni Junzhi: "Yangyang, mom and dad are always here in your heart and have never left."
Tears welled up in Ni Yang's eyes. She held their hands, grief-stricken and filled with apology. "I blame Yangyang for never caring about what happened to you all those years ago. She made Mom bear the accusation of plagiarism for so many years, and she brought down the company that Dad had worked so hard to build."
"Yangyang is sorry, Mom and Dad, just blame Yangyang."
Mu Qingyan tilted her head and rested it against Ni Yang's, just like when they were little, when she would rest her head against hers to comfort her.
"But it was Yangyang who helped Mom find the evidence. Yangyang has done nothing wrong to me and your father."
"Yangyang is married, are you happy?"
Ni Yang thought of He Siyu, and a flash of tenderness flashed in her eyes, "Happy, he treats Yangyang very well."
Ni Junzhi said with a serious face, "If he treats you badly, I will go to his dream and beat him up until he surrenders."
Ni Yang burst into laughter, reveling in the warmth of the moment. She felt she was about to wake up, so she let go of their hands and stroked their faces with trembling fingertips.
"Yangyang, look forward. Mom and Dad hope you live a happy and fulfilling life. We have never blamed you. Your happiness is our greatest wish."
The sounds in the dream gradually faded away, and the sounds in my ears became clearer.
It was He Siyu's voice, "Yangyang, uncle has already released the video on the official account as you instructed. The Gu family was condemned by everyone, and the stock price plummeted, evaporating billions in an instant."
"Uncle used Yinhe's legal department to sue the Gu family for plagiarism, defamation, burglary, and a host of other crimes."
"When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Many individual designers are attacking those who plagiarize my mother's work and forcibly taking their designs. Now she is hiding and dares not respond at all."
He Siyu sat by the bed, holding Ni Yang's hand where the needle had just been removed, and told her what happened after she fainted.
When he woke up yesterday morning, he found that there was still light coming through the gap of the master bedroom door. The moment he opened the door, he saw Ni Yang staggering with a pale face.
He rushed over to catch Ni Yang's limp body and immediately called the family doctor.
"Sir, the lady fainted because of excessive emotional fluctuations and low blood sugar."
The doctor gave her an IV drip, and she slept peacefully all day.
During this period, he found out what had happened to Ni Yang.
After the truth was revealed, Gu Jinting stood at the door of Yutang.
He didn't care about his family's company and just stood at the door of Yutang as a security guard.
Ni Yang slowly woke up. The starry sky was twinkling outside the terrace and the lights in the room were soft. She looked around and confirmed that this was the reality.
He Siyu stood under the cold moon on the terrace, talking on the phone with his back to her.
"Got it. Don't worry about him. Uncle Zheng, prepare the car and take Yangyang to the hospital."
Ni Yang moved her lips and called out softly towards He Siyu's back.
"He Siyu."
The man's body suddenly froze, and he slowly turned around to look at her who was still lying on the bed.
Their eyes met, and Ni Yang smiled at him with curved lips.
"No need, Yangyang is awake. Please heat up the porridge and bring it up. Sorry for the trouble."
After hanging up the phone, He Si strode forward, taking two steps at a time, and came to the bedside, his narrow eyes filled with her.
"Yangyang, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Do you know that you slept for 18 hours and 17 minutes? That's too long."
Ni Yang lay there quietly glancing at the man's worried expression. His eyes were red and bloodshot, and he didn't even have a beard trimmed.
Compared to his usual stately appearance in a suit and tie, he now looks dejected and broken, as if he has been washed by wind and frost.
"I had a very long and beautiful dream. In it were me, my parents, and they talked to me a lot. Can I tell you slowly?"
Her voice was slightly hoarse, but it was more gentle and tender.
He Si wanted to bend down and hug her, but when he remembered that he had not shaved, he gave up the idea and looked at Ni Yang pitifully with drooping eyes.
Ni Yang slowly sat up, took the initiative to get into his arms, buried her head in his neck, and wrapped her arms around his slender waist.
"He Siyu, can you spare a few days next month to accompany me back to France for a few days? I want to take you back to my childhood home."
How could He Siyu be willing to reject her? As she hugged him, he also raised his hands to hug her tightly, wishing he could rub her into his body.
"Okay, whatever Yangyang says is fine." He paused, "Yangyang, why didn't you tell me? I can go look for it with you."
Ni Yang closed her eyes and breathed in his scent. The fresh fruity aroma was followed by a calm woody scent, giving her a sense of security.
"The truth has been missing for twelve years, and I want to find it myself. My mother named that series of clothes after my French name, and she is waiting for me to help her."
He Siyu drooped his raven eyelashes and frowned, he was really scared.
"Did your parents say anything to you in your dream?"
When she mentioned her parents, the corners of her lips curled up. "Mom and Dad told me to look forward. They want me to be happy."
He Siyu rubbed Ni Yang's shoulder with his chin and said, "I will."
Ni Yang's life would not be bad with or without him, but he selfishly thought that Yang Yang's future happiness would be given by him.
Ni Yang moved in his arms, hunched her shoulders, and smiled: "Itchy, He Siyu, your beard is tickling me."
He Si wanted to let her go, so he took her hand and touched his chin. The hard stubble pricked Ni Yang's fingertips.
I don’t know if it was because he had enough sleep, but Ni Yang suddenly became interested.
She raised her brown eyes and looked expectantly into He Siyu's eyes.
"Can I help you shave?"
