Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Puppy
The engagement party was a busy affair with various social events. Tang Ningyue was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed that night. Zhou Yuhe, on the other hand, was so happy that he couldn't fall asleep at all. He lay on his side in bed for most of the day without feeling sleepy at all.
A few days ago, they agreed to do it in a suit today, but now Zhou Yuhe looked at Tang Ningyue who was already fast asleep on the bed and shook his head with a helpless smile, not in a hurry.
Their days are still long.
Unable to sleep, Zhou Yuhe covered Tang Ningyue with a blanket and went back to the study to work for a while. Although he said he was working, his mind was not on it at all. On the bookshelf was the childhood photo album of Tang Ningyue that her father had given her. He flipped through it several times, carefully examining each photo.
The feeling of happiness overflowed from the bottom of his heart. Even in the middle of the night, he couldn't calm down. His mind was still recalling Tang Ningyue's appearance in a dress in the morning. Although it was not a wedding, it still gave him peace of mind and made him feel that he was legitimate.
It’s just that when things go smoothly for a person, he always has to be prepared for danger. Before Zhou Yuhe could celebrate for long, he received a call from his assistant.
"I told you not to talk about work today." Zhou Yuhe is not a workaholic, but he had nothing else to do before. He was not interested in the shady activities that the young masters in the circle were always involved in. Now it is different. He has Tang Ningyue, and those empty days seem to be filled up all of a sudden.
"Mr. Zhou, something happened."
"What's wrong?"
"It seems Li Jinglang committed suicide by jumping off a mountain."
"Jumping off a mountain?" Zhou Yuhe frowned, feeling uneasy. "How is he now?"
"He's still in the hospital."
“…”
Zhou Yuhe leaned back in his chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Should you tell the wife?"
"No need." Zhou Yuhe closed the album and put it back on the bookshelf. "Jumping off the mountain... I probably won't survive much longer. Don't tell my wife. She's had a hard time lately. Don't make her sad."
"clear."
The study window was not closed, and a cold wind blew in in the middle of the night. Zhou Yuhe stared at the towering street lamp outside the window in a daze for a long time. He should be glad that his rival had met with an accident, but now he felt heavy-hearted.
If it were in the animal world, it would be normal for someone to fail or even die in the competition. However, humans are advanced animals, and are also animals endowed with various emotions and moral shackles.
But if he were asked to give up Tang Ningyue now, he would definitely not agree.
Zhou Yuhe always felt that he had made concessions again and again. He even pretended not to know when he knew that Tang Ningyue had bought an apartment for Li Jinglang outside. However, he was greedy and wanted too much. Li Jinglang wanted too much, and this ending was only his own fault.
Sometimes Zhou Yuhe didn't quite understand Tang Ningyue's thoughts. She went to see Li Jinglang once or twice, and they both tacitly kept the matter secret. They also went to the apartment together, but he clearly tacitly agreed to Tang Ningyue doing these things, yet she was still so determined to break up with Li Jinglang.
Or perhaps, she actually wanted to protect Li Jinglang. Zhou Yuhe couldn't help but admit that he couldn't always pretend to be magnanimous. Sometimes he couldn't help but want to fight for her love, and even subconsciously wanted to question her, but he just wanted a word from her. But in the end, he obviously compromised, so she still felt that he was a threat to Li Jinglang...
Zhou Yuhe sighed. He was really afraid that one day he would be executed in the same way.
-
When he woke up in the morning, the sun was already high in the sky. The last time Zhou Yuhe slept so long was when he was studying. He seemed to have not been so relaxed for a long time. Perhaps it was because he had someone around him who made him feel at ease that he felt so comfortable and safe.
Zhou Yuhe turned over and didn't find Tang Ningyue beside him. He was frightened and jumped up from the bed and looked around. But there was no trace of Tang Ningyue, so he hurried out barefoot to look for her.
"Yue'er!"
"Yue'er!"
His voice rose from low to high, and his feet stepped on the marble floor as he found his way to the garden.
Tang Ningyue was feeding the goldfish in the backyard.
The goldfish in the pond were very friendly. When Tang Ningyue bent down with a handful of fish food in her hand, the fish rushed up and almost jumped onto her hand, unable to wait for her to scatter the fish food.
Over time, the little fish in the pond actually became like pet dogs, begging for food from their owners.
"Yue'er!"
Across a small artificial stone bridge, Zhou Yuhe called her loudly, his breathing rapid, as if he had just run from a distance.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Ningyue stood up in response, threw all the remaining fish food in her hand into the bowl in one breath, and then walked towards Zhou Yuhe.
"What's wrong?"
Walking to Zhou Yuhe's side, she reached out and stroked the side of his face, then asked again with a smile.
"Why are you up?" Zhou Yuhe leaned over and hugged her, rubbing her face affectionately and rubbing his chin back and forth on her shoulder.
"Don't you see what time it is?" Tang Ningyue patted his back.
"....." Zhou Yuhe hugged her arms tighter, "It's all my fault."
"Why do you blame me?"
"I slept too deeply." Zhou Yuhe shook his head. "I used to sleep very little..."
There seems to be a study saying that the quality of sleep will be much higher when you are with close people than when you are alone. He didn't believe these wild articles in the past, but now he thinks they make a lot of sense.
"Were you too tired yesterday?" Tang Ningyue said, "I got up in the early morning to drink water and you were still working."
“.....”
He had prepared many things to mess with her, but she didn't give him the chance.
"I'm a little excited and can't sleep." He kissed her cheek softly, as if he was testing her attitude or sensing her temperature.
He was always addicted to her smell and the sound of her voice, as if he loved so much about her that he couldn't even express it in a few words.
"It's too hot here." Tang Ningyue shook her head. "You've lived in Singapore for so many years, so you're probably used to it."
"Don't you like it here?"
Zhou Yuhe was a little panicked. In fact, he was very afraid that she would be dissatisfied. He was worried that she would be dissatisfied with him, and he was also worried that she didn't like the people and things in the family. He always tried to avoid it, but nothing was constant.
"Daylight arrives around 7 a.m., and there will be showers in the afternoon or evening. The weather is unchanging. Even the people coming and going are wearing similar clothes and their paths are similar every day. It's like everyone is an NPC in a game."
“It’s so boring.”
It's not as fun as life in China. After all these years, she still likes life in China. Although she lives a rich life in a developed area with a good environment, her heart always seems to be unfulfilled. She can't describe what the feeling is.
Tang Ningyue vaguely remembered that the days when she lived with her mother in Canada seemed so boring.
Although she can often see her father and brother now, she still doesn't feel at home. Even the comfortable environment created by Zhou Yuhe doesn't make her happy. It seems that there is always something missing to make her happy.
"Shall we get a puppy?"
Suddenly, Tang Ningyue had an idea.
"Oh, no." Tang Ningyue shook her head and immediately rejected the idea. "I forgot, you are allergic to dog hair."
She put down the fish food box in her hand, walked around Zhou Yuhe and headed towards the dining room.
"Let's eat first."
Tang Ningyue walked forward a few steps, and seeing that Zhou Yuhe didn't follow her, she turned her head to look at him again.
"What's wrong?"
"Why don't you leave?"
"We could get a puppy."
Zhou Yuhe stood behind and talked to her.
"I'm fine."
Tang Ningyue stared at him for a while before realizing that he was not wearing shoes and was walking barefoot on the marble floor. His hair was messy and unkempt.
The two of them faced each other, separated by a small stream, and were silent for a while. It was unknown whether Tang Ningyue was satisfied or dissatisfied with his answer. She just looked at him for a while, then turned her back.
"...Let's go eat." she said.
No more puppies?
Zhou Yuhe really wanted to ask her, even though his allergy wasn't very serious.
But in the end he said nothing, hurried forward and held her hand.
"Actually, I'm quite lazy." Tang Ningyue turned her head towards him. "I've had puppies before, but I just liked to play with them. I wasn't the one walking or feeding them, so I really shouldn't have had pets."
She just wanted a toy to keep her company, and she never thought about doing those trivial things.
"Who was helping you raise your child before? The aunt at home?"
"no."
Tang Ningyue denied it, but didn't say anything else.
"It's okay, the aunt at home can go and help take care of it."
"It's impossible to tame it."
Tang Ningyue laughed. She vaguely remembered that the two puppies she had raised were ungrateful. She gave them the best of everything, but they still didn't kiss her much.
"Maybe you have too high expectations for the puppy?" Zhou Yuhe smiled and touched her hair.
"...High?"
"Or maybe they're already very clingy and kissing you, but you find it annoying, so they don't dare to get too close to you."
"Perhaps."
Whatever the reason, she won't keep it anymore.
