Chapter 15 Dreaming
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong left the main courtyard and went straight back to the side courtyard where they used to live.
Because Lu Yao was injured, Shen Yanrong fought hard for it and finally won the right to hold two children at the same time.
Looking at the man holding a child in each hand, Lu Yao felt helpless. Although the wound still looked a little scary, she was really fine now.
Chen Yanrong looked at her with a gentle gaze, and his low, magnetic voice seemed to be bewitching: "Be good, don't be so stubborn."
Lu Yao felt her face flush. This, this was too unfair...
No, how come this usually dull man looks like he has been possessed by another spirit?
What she didn't know was that for Shen Yanrong, getting back his mother's dowry and escaping from the Shen family's control had been a concern for him for many years. Now that his dream had come true, he felt much more relieved.
When people are happy, they feel refreshed and it is natural to change.
"Dad, I can walk by myself," Xiao Yunhao puffed out his chest like a little adult, "I'm very heavy."
"Let Daddy see how heavy you are," Shen Yanrong said, shaking the little guy on his arm with one hand: "Hmm, about the same as the little Huang from Mr. Huang's house next door."
Xiao Huang is a dog who is a few months old.
Little Xinyue was about to close her eyes, but when she heard her father's words, she instantly perked up: "Brother and Xiao Huang."
After saying this, he covered his mouth and giggled.
"Daddy!" Xiao Yunhao was mocked by his sister and immediately protested, turning his head to complain: "Mom, look at Daddy!"
Lu Yao looked at them with a smile and shrugged, indicating that she would not join.
"Alright, lie down quietly," Shen Yanrong shook the two children again, "It's so late, aren't you sleepy?"
The two children pursed their lips and nodded.
In fact, they were already sleepy, but those people were so fierce that they had to guard their parents without even blinking.
Shen Yanrong rubbed the tops of the two children's heads, feeling a little distressed: "Lean on daddy's shoulders, we will be there soon."
The father's voice seemed to have magic, and the two children leaned on his shoulders obediently.
Maybe I was really sleepy and fell asleep in a short while.
The side courtyard they lived in was in the farthest corner of the Shen Mansion. Because no one had lived there for a long time, the already simple courtyard looked even more dilapidated.
Fortunately, the Shen family had something to do this time, so they made many arrangements in advance. They also asked someone to do some simple cleaning and tidying up here in advance, so there was no problem getting by for one night.
The two children were already fast asleep at this time. Shen Yanrong carefully placed them on the bed, took off their outer clothes, shoes and socks, and covered them with a quilt. After making sure that the children were fast asleep, he and Lu Yao left the bedroom and went to the small hall outside. They talked while waiting for the doctor and the other side to bring the things.
Shen Yanrong's gaze fell on his forehead, his eyes full of heartache and guilt: "It's all my fault..."
"Stop!" Lu Yao interrupted him. "We are husband and wife, and we should advance and retreat together. Besides, you have been working hard to protect us, and I, along with our two children, want to do something for you."
"Sister Yao, I..." Chen Yanrong felt his heart swell up. His Adam's apple twitched, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions. After a long moment, he slowly said, "With you in my life, what else could I ask for?"
Lu Yao curled her lips and smiled softly: "Then you have to treat me better in the future."
Even after regaining her memory, she had not forgotten everything they had experienced. During the years they had been together, her feelings for this man were genuine. If she had to find someone to walk with her in this world of books, she felt that it had to be this man.
"Don't worry," Chen Yanrong assured earnestly, "In this life, this heart, this love, will never change. It's only for you."
"I have received your kindness. I hope you can remember what I said today. If one day..."
"No," Shen Yanrong interrupted before Lu Yao could finish, "That day will never come."
Lu Yao hummed, "I believe it."
She thought of the book's description of Shen Yanrong: a man whose life was full of twists and turns, yet whose heart was persistent and steadfast, who loved and cared deeply for his wife and children. In their most difficult times, he withstood the threats and temptations of the powerful and did not abandon them. Even to his death, the four of them were together, snuggled together...
It is precisely because he values and protects his wife and children that he has attracted a lot of fans even though he is a vicious villain. Many fans feel sorry for him. After all, he just wants his wife and children to live a good life.
Not wanting to dwell on this topic, Lu Yao asked again, "Don't you have anything else to ask?"
Shen Yanrong was puzzled.
"In the main courtyard, I make my own decisions," Lu Yao reminded.
Chen Yanrong shook his head: "You and I are husband and wife, your decision is my decision, and you are right."
"Why don't you ask me why I do this?" Lu Yao really wanted to know if this man would indulge her without any bottom line. "Those farms and shops are probably the main source of income for the entire Shen family."
Even if you don't operate it and just sell it directly, it will still be a huge number.
"Even if we ask for it, they won't give it to us. Instead, we will get nothing." Shen Yanrong already had a deep understanding of the moral character of the Shen family. If he were to choose, he would make the same choice as his wife.
"Actually, when I was unconscious, I went to a place." On the way back, Lu Yao had been thinking about whether to tell the other party about this issue. In the end, she chose to explain it in her own way.
Shen Yanrong thought he had misheard: "Sister Yao, what did you say?"
He has always been by the other person's side, so if he really went somewhere, there is no way he wouldn't know.
"I mean, while I was unconscious, I had a dream," Lu Yao said, adding, "Actually, I don't know if it was a dream or not, because I could clearly feel that everything I experienced was so real, yet so strange. Many things were completely unheard of and unseen in our world."
"Is your body affected?" Shen Yanrong's first concern was not the miraculous things he had seen and heard, but his wife's health.
Could it be that what Yaomei encountered was the monster mentioned in Strange Stories?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he became even more uneasy. Many spirits and monsters can harm people.
Seeing the man so worried about her, Lu Yao smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? I was taken to another world by an immortal."
Shen Yanrong's pupils were shocked. Another, another world?
Just when he was curious and wanted the other party to talk, he heard voices outside the courtyard gate. It was the doctor who came.
Chen Yanrong was not in a hurry to hear about things in other worlds. To him, Yaomei's health was the most important.
The doctor was dug out of bed by a servant, and rushed over in a hurry after being dressed. He thought he was going to treat a distinguished person in the Shen Mansion, but when he arrived at the Shen Mansion, he found that the doctor had gone to a remote place. He only understood the situation after asking.
He was already angry, and now seeing the two people in tattered clothes, he lost his patience even more. His face and tone were not good, which made Shen Yanrong very unhappy.
It would be fine if these people treated him like this, but he would not allow himself to be looked down upon by his wife.
But thinking of his wife's health, he had to relax and smile at the doctor, hoping that he could take a good look at Yaomei.
Some people have good conditions themselves, so they look down on others. Some people bully the weak and fear the strong, and find superiority in those who are worse off than themselves. This doctor is a combination of the two. He feels that it is beneath his dignity to treat this person, so how could he be sincere?
Lu Yao knew her physical condition very well and did not feel the need to see a doctor again. Seeing that Shen Yanrong was worried, she did not care about the doctor's attitude and just sat there and let him do whatever he wanted.
The doctor wanted to leave immediately, but he was also concerned about the Shen family's status and the considerable amount of money. Even if he was dissatisfied, he had to examine the patient before leaving. However, his attitude was visibly perfunctory.
Lu Yao didn't get angry. After the man had taken her pulse and treated her wound, she kindly reminded him, "Go back and take care of yourself."
The doctor snorted coldly. He was a doctor. Did he need a woman to remind him about the condition of his body?
I wanted to say a few more words, but I lost the mood and just left.
Humph, he is in very good health!
Chen Tao couldn't even stop him, so he quickly picked up the other person's medicine box and chased after him, not forgetting to turn around and glare at the two of them hatefully.
Bah, do you really think you will become the eldest son if you return to the Shen family?
Didn’t you see what everyone in the mansion was shouting?
