Chapter 130: Can’t Sleep

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Young Fang Yuan felt a sense of injustice and quietly began to sob. “But I didn’t…”

“If you hadn’t complained to Grandma, would she have called us and pressured us to return? Do you realize that your father and I had to delay another project just to come back?”

“That’s enough, let’s not dwell on this. She’s just a child; she couldn’t have known any better,” Fang Liguo tried to mediate.

“What child!” Song Ling burst out in anger. “Have you ever seen a child using Grandma to manipulate their parents? Look at how biased Mom is. Fang Yuan, let me tell you, the more you act like this, the more I dislike you. All you do is cry all day. You’re so annoying!”

As Song Ling made to leave, Fang Liguo hurriedly followed her. “Honey, please don’t be like this… How would a child know that her grandfather’s passing secured the company for us? There are many people within the company who want to undermine us and cause problems behind our backs… The child just misses her Mom and Dad.”

“She’s a bringer of bad luck! Every time, she only hampers our important matters. What else can she do besides crying? If she had any ability, she could help the family earn money so we could be at home every day!”

Little Fang Yuan quickly wiped her tears and made a silent vow. If she became successful and could help her family earn money, would her parents then be able to stay at home with her every day? Would they start to like her?

With her grandpas’ support, she gradually excelled. It was during this time that she began to grasp that Madame Old Fang’s strained relationship with Song Ling was due to the shares issue.

Song Ling disliked Madame Fang, so whenever Madame Fang stood up for Fang Yuan, Song Ling’s resentment towards her only grew…

In Song Ling’s eyes, Fang Yuan was an omen of misfortune. Every time she returned home, work issues arose, which further discouraged her from coming home.

Over the years, Fang Liguo and Song Ling visited home less and less, leading to their connection with Fang Yuan diminishing.

In the past, Song Ling didn’t appreciate Fang Yuan’s tears and clinginess. Over time, Fang Yuan transformed into a child who seldom cried or sought closeness with others. To outsiders, she even seemed a bit aloof and unapproachable.

After an indeterminate period of time, Fang Yuan slowly opened her eyes to the early dawn light filtering through the window. Her heart felt curiously empty, for reasons she couldn’t quite pinpoint. She reached for her phone and glanced at the screen. It was just past six in the morning, and a few unread WeChat messages from Bo Yi caught her attention.

[Yuanyuan, I miss you so much that I can’t sleep.]

[I really want to hold you close and drift to sleep.]

Fang Yuan felt her emptiness recede, replaced by a newfound happiness. Bo Yi had sent these messages at five in the morning and had evidently been awake all night.

Her slender fingers danced across the screen as she replied, “Don’t I let you hold me every day?”

She added soothingly, “Rest well. We’ll be together soon.”

Unexpectedly, right after she sent the message, Bo Yi called.

“Yuanyuan.” There was a touch of plaintiveness in his voice. “I miss you so much… Why did you wake up so early? Did you have a bad dream?”

Fang Yuan wasn’t sure if her childhood experiences could be classified as nightmares. “You didn’t sleep all night?”

“No, I couldn’t sleep.” Bo Yi’s voice was alluringly soft. “I miss you terribly.” He was lying in bed, replaying scenes of their time together in his mind like a film, over and over again. He couldn’t count how many times he had replayed it. His longing for her kept him awake.

“Are you still feeling sleepy?”

Fang Yuan replied with composure, “I’m wide awake now.”

“In that case, let’s go watch the sunrise together.” Bo Yi wanted to be with her without delay. Upon receiving her approval, he hastily prepared and set off.

As Fang Yuan freshened up and changed her clothes, Bo Yi’s car pulled up in front of her home.

Just as she stepped out of the door, Bo Yi enveloped her in a tight embrace.

He inhaled the girl’s scent, and at last, his heart found serenity.

“I’ve missed you so much,” he murmured as he lowered his head, noticing the lingering hickey on the girl’s neck from the night before. He couldn’t help but caress the visage he’d dreamt about, his smile affectionate. “Good morning, Yuanyuan.”

“Morning,” Fang Yuan replied calmly, though her voice carried a distinct warmth.

Bo Yi suggested, “Let’s head to Starry Night Restaurant to catch the sunrise and have breakfast.”

Fang Yuan, rarely this compliant, agreed, saying, “Alright.”

“You’re quite obedient when you’ve just woken up,” he remarked, gently stroking her cheek and smiling even more fondly.

On the terrace

At first, Cheng Yuqi suspected her eyes were deceiving her. However, upon closer inspection with binoculars, she was left utterly flabbergasted. It was indeed Bo Yi! Bo Yi had personally driven to pick up Fang Yuan! Not only did he open the car door for her, but he also tenderly shielded her head with his hand. After she settled into the car, he even helped fasten her seatbelt and gave her a lingering kiss!

Cheng Yuqi couldn’t believe her eyes. They had parted ways only at 11 o’clock the previous night, and it was now just 6:30 in the morning, yet they were already cuddling together!

As she watched the car drive away, Cheng Yuqi’s anger was so intense that it felt like her internal organs were being wrung. She yearned to crush Fang Yuan underfoot and obliterate her. Fuming, she sought out Auntie Wang to strategize..
