Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes, the smile on his lips tinged with lancholy. Tang Yanqi heard it and couldn’t help but tremble all over.
She swallowed hard, trying to calm herself down.
Sheng Jianan noticed her strangeness and frowned, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Yanqi shook her head, a bit flustered, and took down the photo fra from the bookshelf, "Let’s take this photo back as a nto."
Sheng Jianan nodded, "I already took Grandpa’s album, but if you want this, take it."
"Okay."
Outside, the rain finally eased up, the lightning and thunder subsided as well. As it was too late, Mrs. Sheng wanted them to stay overnight at the old house, but Sheng Jianan refused.
Under a large black umbrella, Tang Yanqi was completely enveloped in Sheng Jianan’s embrace, heading towards the car.
This torrential rain ca fiercely. As they left the old house and reached the junction of the Upper Ring Road, they were stuck.
The planning there was unreasonable. It flooded whenever there was a heavy rain, and half of the car wheels were subrged. There weren’t many vehicles, but each moved extrely slowly, turning the red taillights into a continuous line.
After walking for a good half hour, neither Tang Yanqi nor Sheng Jianan had moved more than a few ters, and the rain seed to be getting heavier again.
"Should we turn back?"
Sheng Jianan shook his head, "Once we get past this section, it will be fine."
"I’m okay, Xiao Yi is being taken care of by Mrs. Zhang, it’s no problem."
Sheng Jianan looked ahead, slowly pressing down on the gas pedal, moving the car, "You have trouble sleeping here; you won’t rest well."
Tang Yanqi: "..."
He still rembered, she had almost forgotten.
When she first went to France, due to a car accident and her depressed mood, she once suffered a mild depression. During that ti, Shen Jiyan found an excellent psychologist for her. After treatnt, Tang Yanqi’s sleep improved a lot.
Later, work often took her on business trips around Europe, and miraculously, she no longer had trouble sleeping elsewhere. If not for Sheng Jianan ntioning it now, she would have almost forgotten about it.
Her thoughts drifted away, and Tang Yanqi recalled the first ti she slept in the master bedroom of their marital ho. That day, she thought she would have trouble sleeping, but with him by her side, she slept soundly that night.
Soone once said that having trouble sleeping on unfamiliar beds and pillows is actually a sign of insecurity because unfamiliar things evoke anxiety.
On the contrary, as long as one feels secure, that feeling of unfamiliarity will disappear.
Did he make her feel secure?
Yes, he always made her feel very secure.
Tang Yanqi lowered her eyelids, her lips unconsciously curling up slightly.
Finally, they passed the flooded section, got onto the ring road, and the traffic suddenly beca smooth. Tang Yanqi looked outside the window, but the glass reflected the profile of Sheng Jianan driving.
Tang Yanqi turned her head, pressed her lips together, and softly said, "When you were in Grandpa’s study, you said that during the days after Grandpa passed away, you stayed in his bedroom the whole ti?"
"Yes."
"What about sleeping? You didn’t return to your room?"
Tang Yanqi asked casually, as if just reminiscing the past. Sheng Jianan was driving and casually replied, "At that ti, I couldn’t sleep."
Tang Yanqi’s fingers trembled slightly, and she quickly diverted her gaze to look out the window.
She slowly closed her eyes, trying hard to recall scenes from the past.
The Sheng Family rejected her, Mr. Sheng took his anger out on her, Sheng Jianan didn’t want to see her, Sheng Jianan told her to get lost, Sheng Jianan wanted Shen Yao to accompany him...
