Chapter 1074 - 502: Who Awakens First from the Grand Dream

Chapter 1074: Chapter 502: Who Awakens First from the Grand Dream

Mr. Yu lowered his gaze to her feet, his eyes slowly moving upwards to her pale, straight calves.

Nothing was visible above, that hidden place sparking even more vivid imaginations.

He couldn’t resist leaning over, reaching for the pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, and smiled as he asked, "...Is it okay?"

Miss Tang nodded.

Mr. Yu took out a cigarette from the pack on her coffee table, pulled out his lighter, and lit it before taking a deep inhalation.

The two sat facing each other in the living room, not speaking, quietly smoking half a cigarette before both felt somewhat more energized.

Mr. Yu asked her, "Miss Tang, what is it you wanted to tell me? I’ve been here for ten minutes."

He pointed at his watch, "It’s already midnight, my wife is still waiting for me to come home."

Miss Tang gracefully stood up and walked towards Mr. Yu.

Reaching the single sofa where Mr. Yu was seated, Miss Tang leaned forward, resting her hands on the sofa armrest, looking closely at Mr. Yu, and said, "Oh, your wife is waiting for you to come home, yet you’re here once again suggesting to keep me, Mr. Yu, you’re quite daring..."

With one hand holding the cigarette, Mr. Yu caressed Miss Tang’s face with the other, murmuring dreamily, "It’s not daring, it’s just irresistible..."

Miss Tang took the opportunity to circle his neck, plucking out a few strands of hair from his shoulder.

Seeing Miss Tang in such a pose, Mr. Yu felt secretly pleased, convinced she was tacitly agreeing, and immediately moved in to kiss her.

However, Miss Tang promptly straightened up, evading his kiss, and with a smile, said, "That’s not quite right, Mr. Yu. Your wife has hired people from the Celestial Path Sect to deal with me, aren’t you afraid I’m really not human?"

Mr. Yu laughed heartily, "Anna just likes to overthink, don’t I know exactly who you are?"

Miss Tang chuckled, "Yes, I thought, since I’ve been burdened with a false reputation, why not make it true..."

Mr. Yu squinted, "But you’ve also hired people from the Celestial Path Sect, wanting me to ’get my due’..."

"Yes, I want to punish you, punish Mr. Yu to be tied to me in this life, never to go out flirting again, is that okay?" Miss Tang said softly, starting to act coy.

Mr. Yu relaxed his eyebrows, "You finally believe that your mother’s death had nothing to do with me? I’ve said for a long time, it was an accident, none of us wanted it."

He stood up, still holding the cigarette in one hand, and held Miss Tang’s hand with the other, gazing downwards, "Let me take care of you, as a way to atone for my unintended fault."

Miss Tang’s body trembled slightly, she also lowered her head, revealing a slender swan neck.

After a while, she said, "Let me think about it again."

"Think again?" Mr. Yu was somewhat dissatisfied, "But you’ve thought about it for a long time, dear."

Miss Tang smiled and retreated a few steps, "It’s the things you can’t get that are the best, Mr. Yu, you’re a player, you understand that, don’t you?"

Mr. Yu licked his lips, and finally pressed the cigarette extinguished in the ashtray, asking lightly, "You found me so late just to make me unable to get it?"

"Oh, I almost forgot the matter at hand." Miss Tang’s voice seemed coated in honey, "Mr. Yu, in my mother’s diary she once wrote about her first time celebrating your birthday, were you really born around six in the evening?"

Mr. Yu froze for a moment.

To be honest, he had long forgotten many things related to Miss Tang’s mother, Diana Thomas.

Their feelings were once beautiful, but later... they became ugly.

He didn’t want to reminisce, nor disturb the current atmosphere.

He leisurely tucked his hands into his pants pockets, shook his head, and said, "I was born at six in the morning, maybe your mother remembered wrong?"

"Oh, maybe I remembered wrong. Saw it a long time ago."

"Why ask this question?" Mr. Yu was somewhat puzzled, "Do you also want to celebrate my birthday?"

He immediately said, "That won’t work, I’ve spent many years celebrating with Anna. I’m already guilty towards her, if I don’t even spend my birthday with her, I’d feel very sorry."

"You’re guilty towards her?" Miss Tang was slightly stunned, "I didn’t agree, you haven’t been unfaithful, what are you guilty about?"

Mr. Yu didn’t answer this question, he glanced around the living room, slightly bowing, "It’s late, I need to go home. Miss Tang, when you decide, give me a call, my sincerity extends to the end of the year."

He knew Miss Tang’s lease expired at the end of the year, and he learned from Anna Wright that Miss Tang had no intention of renewing.

Anna Wright was recently busy helping Mrs. Miller, the landlord, find new tenants.

Miss Tang bent her lips, "Alright, I’ll consider it."

Mr. Yu extended his arms towards her, "Come, give me a goodnight hug."

Miss Tang folded her arms in a gesture of refusal, but her expression was quite charming, "Mr. Yu, you’re joking, I haven’t decided yet..."

Mr. Yu could only shake his head regretfully, and turned to leave the house Miss Tang rented.

But after he got in his car, his expression turned gloomy.

The affectionate banter moments ago seemed just a dream.

The gloom on his face even made him appear sinister.

He took out the hand sanitizer from the car and repeatedly washed his hands as if he had OCD.

After washing his hands, he drove back to his home.

However, as he drove away, Mrs. Fang emerged from the bushes near Miss Tang’s house.

She watched expressionlessly as Mr. Yu’s car disappeared into the distance, then looked at the large mansion of Miss Tang.

The lights inside were still on, with only the silhouette of one person visible, presumably Miss Tang.

Mrs. Fang squinted her eyes, quickly swept a glance, and turned away.

Returning home, Mr. Yu angrily asked her, "So late, where did you go? I worry about you."

Mrs. Fang’s face returned to a sweet smile, "I just went to the house the Daoists rented to see Mr. Zhuge, you know he’s very skilled."

Mr. Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, but don’t go so late next time."

Mrs. Fang brought him a bowl of sweet ginkgo barley water, saying, "And you, don’t come home so late. Why were you driving nearly twenty minutes later than usual today?"

Mr. Yu replied ambiguously, "There was some traffic."

"Traffic jam in the middle of the night?"

"On the 15th road over there, there isn’t a day without traffic, whether it be at six in the morning or at midnight."

"That’s true, they’re always repairing the road there, a pit can take ten years to fill." Mrs. Fang seemed to accept his explanation and began preparing for breakfast for the children tomorrow.

...

Early the next morning, Mr. Yu had already gone to work, while Mrs. Fang sent the children to daycare.

On her way back, she again saw Miss Tang.

She was in sportswear, wearing big headphones, jogging on the community sidewalk.

Mrs. Fang noticed her complexion was poor, dark circles under her eyes were heavy, seeming like she hadn’t gotten good sleep.

She paid attention as Miss Tang talked to a neighbor lady.

"Mrs. Smith, I couldn’t sleep all night last night, kept having nightmares." Miss Tang rubbed her forehead, "I need to go to the city today to see a psychiatrist, get some medication to help with sleep."

"Dear Lilith, you really should sleep well, look at how worn out you appear, it’s not good, it’s harmful to your health."

Mrs. Fang smiled, she knew this was probably the effect of what Mr. Zhuge referred to as the "Great Dream of Three Lives"?

This is the first day, two days left until the mystery will be revealed.
