Chapter 362: Did You Get a Nightmare?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In fact, Tang Bochuan could almost predict Shen Hanyu’s attitude and reply.

He had heard about Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian’s affairs, so he could guess that other than Sang Qianqian, no other woman could soften Shen Hanyu’s heart.

However, Tang Bochuan still made the call after much thought.

This was because Zhen Zhu’s performance in the past few days had been very different from before.

Although Tang Bochuan had been with Zhen Zhu for a long time, he had some understanding of her personality.

Perhaps it was because this villa was where her mother used to live, or perhaps she had too many memories that outsiders didn’t know about.

She was being too quiet, so quiet that Tang Bochuan felt uneasy.

However, Shen Hanyu’s reaction was as cold as expected when he heard her words. “Zhen Zhu is fickle and has many thoughts. Bochuan, you’d better learn your lesson and not fall weak from sympathy.”

Tang Bochuan was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, President Shen. I won’t be fooled by her again.”

After hanging up the phone, Tang Bochuan’s initial worry for Zhen Zhu was once again wrapped in layers of solid ice.

He should have learned his lesson. He had pitied her twice, but he had also been slapped in the face twice.

Especially the second time, when she pretended to be sick and said she had an allergic reaction. He was frightened by the large rashes on her body and rushed to send her to the hospital.

It was only after the incident that Tang Bochuan found out that she had drawn on those rashes using her makeup.

Tang Bochuan knew nothing about girl stuff and had never paid attention to it, so he could not tell that it was the effect of makeup.

His heart was burning with anxiety as he was worried that something would happen to Zhen Zhu. In the end, on the way, she used the excuse of going to the washroom to escape from his eyes.

He was furious when he thought about it.

She was really good at pretending. Perhaps she had deliberately acted out these past few days for him to see.

It could only be one or two, not three.

He had already been tricked by her twice. He swore that he would not let her trick him a third time.

The night was getting darker, and the moon and stars were sparse outside the window.

Tang Bochuan suddenly heard a hurried voice. It seemed to be Zhen Zhu’s voice.

He lifted the blanket, got up, and rushed out of the room as fast as he could. He went to her bedroom and barged in.

The faint moonlight shone in. She was lying on the bed, sound asleep.

So that scream just now was a dream?

Since she was fine, he had no intention of staying any longer and was about to leave.

“You’re talking nonsense!” Zhen Zhu suddenly shouted.

He stopped and looked at her in shock.

She seemed to have fallen into a terrible nightmare. Her eyes were closed, and her hands were waving wildly in the air as she screamed, “Shut up, shut up! You’re the slut, you’re the slut!”

Tang Bochuan furrowed his brows slightly. Was she fighting someone? She was even getting physical with someone even in her dreams?

The sleeping Zhen Zhu kicked and kicked, and after a while, she started crying and screaming again. Her words were unclear, but Tang Bochuan could vaguely hear her sobbing, “Mom, don’t go.”

He was silent for two seconds before he turned on the lights. “Miss Zhen Zhu,”

The sudden light woke her up, and she opened her eyes with a pale face.

Her face was full of tears and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She clutched the sheets tightly and her gaze drifted over to Tang Bochuan in a daze.

After a while, she seemed to have woken up.

“What are you doing here?” Her tone was not very good, and her voice was very hoarse.

“You had a nightmare.” Tang Bochuan glanced at her.

“I was having a nightmare, and you decided to come into my room? Did you get my permission?”

Zhen Zhu saw that he was standing there without saying anything and said unhappily, “Still not getting out?”

Tang Bochuan’s handsome face was expressionless as he turned around and left without a word.

After taking two steps, he turned back and turned off the lights.

The room suddenly fell into darkness, and Zhen Zhu subconsciously tightened her grip on the corner of the quilt.

He had already walked to the door and was closing it behind him.

The faint light from the wall lamps in the corridor was also blocked out as he moved.

When the room had become completely dark, she couldn’t help but shout, “Tang Bochuan!”

The door was pushed open a crack and light came in. His figure stood in the light. “What’s wrong?”

Although his voice was cold, it somehow made her feel less uneasy.

She swallowed her saliva and said with difficulty, “You… Just stay here.”

“What?” Tang Bochuan thought he had heard her wrong.

“I told you to stay here. Didn’t you hear me?” she glared at him.

“Miss Zhen Zhu told me to get lost just now,”

Tang Bochuan raised his brows slightly and sneered. “Now you’re asking me to stay here. Which sentence should I listen to?”

“You’re doing this on purpose, right?”

She lost her patience. “Hurry up and come in!”

However, he didn’t move. “Miss Zhen Zhu, if you’re afraid, you can just sleep with the lights on.”

“Who said I’m afraid?”

She was still stubborn. “What’s the matter, Tang Bochuan? Can’t I ask you to do anything?”

In the end, he turned on the lights without a word, closed the door, and left.

Zhen Zhu was so angry that she grabbed the iPad on the bedside table and smashed it against the door.

A muffled sound came from behind him. His body paused for a moment, but he did not turn around and went back to his room.

The light above her head was indeed very bright. The fear, uneasiness, and pain in her dream seemed to have disappeared.

However, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

The memories of her youth that she had deliberately forgotten came back to life after she returned to this villa.

She would have nightmares every night, and tonight seemed to be the most serious one. Even Tang Bochuan was alarmed.

Not being able to sleep, Zhen Zhu got up and went to her mother’s room.

Holding the photo frame, she caressed it for a long time.

In the photo, her mother was only in her early thirties. She had beautiful features, but her eyes were gloomy.

She had not cried for many years, but her eyes were red as she stared at her mother.

She mumbled, “What they said isn’t true, right?”

Her mother was a young lady from a prestigious family. How could she be such an unbearable existence in the eyes of others?

Zhen Zhu caressed the photo over and over again, her thoughts drifting back to many years ago.

When she was young, her father seemed to be very busy with work, and her mother was always depressed.

Later, because of her poor health, she moved to this villa in the wild to recuperate.

On the weekends, Zhen Zhu would visit her mother at the villa, and her father would take time to accompany her almost every day.

Her mother would take her to fly a kite, teach her how to play the Zither, take care of the flowers and plants, and go to the back garden to pick fruits.

Every time this happened, her father would always look at them with a smile. When she and her mother were tired from playing, her father would thoughtfully wipe her mother’s sweat and remind her not to overwork herself.

However, her mother’s reaction was always indifferent. She rarely responded to his father’s concern.

Zhen Zhu had always known that her parents weren’t very close.

However, she didn’t expect that one day, they would completely break up and even get a divorce..
