Chapter 260: 229 Good at Understanding Others’ Intentions (1 update)_1

Seeing Shen Yi’s impatience, Su Wanyi also knew that it wasn’t appropriate to continue discussing the issue tonight. Remembering the doctor’s advice, "Alright, you should rest well for these three days. Just like your Aunt said, drink less water to reduce the frequency of going to the bathroom."

"Mm, I know."

"Then Mom will go back to her room to sleep too."

"Okay."

After Su Wanyi left, the main light in the room was turned off as well. Plunged into darkness, Shen Yi wasn’t discouraged at all. She told herself that as long as Lu Han wasn’t married, she definitely had to give it her all.

On the other hand, after Su Ruoan returned to her room, Tang Shengyi still hadn’t fallen asleep.

First, it was a different environment and a different bed, which might have caused some discomfort, and second, his wife hadn’t come back, leaving Tang Shengyi restless and irritable, wondering what kind of trouble his niece might have gotten into outside.

When Su Ruoan came back, Tang Shengyi propped himself up from the bed, "What happened?"

Seeing this, Su Ruoan was somewhat speechless at how her elder still gossiped about the younger generation, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"

"I’ve been used to sleeping next to you for decades. How could I possibly fall asleep without you back yet?"

"..."

Su Ruoan turned off the main light, leaving only two bedside lamps on. After getting into bed, Tang Shengyi naturally embraced his wife in his arms.

Su Ruoan struggled a bit but didn’t break free, so she let him continue holding her.

Anyway, it was quite comfortable being held by him.

"There’s not much to it. Just slipped because the roads were icy from the snow."

"The roads in Beijing get slippery with snow every year. So how come you slipped this year when you’ve been fine for over twenty years?"

"You—," Su Ruoan frowned, "do you expect someone to call you every time they twist their ankle and say, ’Hey, Uncle-in-law, I twisted my ankle again.’"

Tang Shengyi couldn’t help but laugh at that, "You’re right. As long as there’s no serious problem, after all these years, they’re probably used to it."

"..."

Such words could infuriate a person.

Fortunately, neither her sister nor her niece heard that.

Su Ruoan knew that Tang Shengyi was particularly sensitive to cold.

Back then, it wasn’t that he lacked opportunities for promotion. He was capable, and a private hospital in Beijing had offered him a salary three times higher than his current pay to woo him away.

And they promised a ten percent increase every year.

He had been tempted, and going to Beijing might have pleased his mother-in-law, so he really considered it.

He even went to inspect the hospital behind Su Ruoan’s back. The place did have central heating, and it wasn’t cold, but Tang Shengyi liked to go fishing with his friends when he had nothing better to do, and the heating would start from the end of October.

So, he’d have to spend several months each year cooped up at home, unable to go out for some fresh air. The biting cold wind wasn’t something that everyone could appreciate as the romantic charm of a snowy landscape.

Tang Shengyi understood that in life, no matter how one lived, there would always be some regrets. Fortunately, he had a wife who was willing to advance and retreat with him, and sacrifice for him.

"It’s getting late, let’s sleep."

"Mm, I’ll get up and buy breakfast for you tomorrow. What would you like?" Tang Shengyi held his wife and refused to let go.

"No need, the host will arrange everything. By then, we’ll eat whatever’s planned, no fuss."

"Mm, I’m not picky, but are we going to stay at your sister’s place for the next few days? Before, Tangtang and Fengfeng dug up the video of your brother-in-law having a good time outside, which made your sister so angry. When the brother-in-law comes back and finds out the truth, I worry it’ll be awkward."

"Yes, I’ve thought about that too. We’ll find an opportunity later, maybe when Yangming moves into his new house, we can find a reason to stay elsewhere."

"Okay." Tang Shengyi readily agreed, his wife was always so understanding.

After the bedside lamps were turned off, the two quickly fell asleep.

**

The next day.

Tang Su woke up early, feeling the warmth of the heated room. Her hands and feet weren’t cold, but she, unaccustomed to the warmth, felt a bit stifled after staying in the room for too long.

When she woke up, she thought it was late, but when she checked her phone, it was still five minutes before seven o’clock.

The night before, with all the tossing and turning and surfing on her phone, she hadn’t gone to sleep until after midnight.

Back at her own home, she would be in bed by ten, asleep by eleven, and if she was going to the store, she would sleep until eight-thirty. If not, she could stay in bed until ten.

Tang Su hadn’t stayed over at her aunt’s place in a long time. It was during the summer vacation of her fifth grade when her parents enrolled her in a summer camp, which included a seven-day tour of Beijing.

When her aunt found out, she called her mother and suggested that after the camp, Tang Su could stay at their place for a couple of days before they sent her back.

So she stayed for a few days.

Her memory was hazy, but Tang Su remembered that back then, she didn’t like to sleep in at her aunt’s house. But waking up early meant everyone else was still asleep.

The servants, unprepared for her early rise, would give her a pack of nearly expired bread for breakfast.

Fortunately, it didn’t upset her stomach.

After waking up, Tang Su realized this wasn’t her own home or her own bed, so the thought of lying in bed scrolling through her phone evaporated.

She got out of bed, neatly made it up, and tiptoed to the shared bathroom to wash up. Afterward, she pulled out a hydrating facial mask from her suitcase and put it on.

While she waited for the mask to do its work, she took out a red notebook and started to outline her ideas with a pen.

Last night, when she couldn’t sleep, she had chatted online with some friends who wrote together. She hadn’t written in a while but recently considered starting again, so she asked them about the popular genres at the moment.

Really, any genre could work; that’s the nature of online literature. In recent years, it had been a blossoming of all sorts, and as long as you wrote well, any genre could make money.

As for whether the money was satisfying, that was a matter of opinion.

Before sleeping, Tang Su had read a few transmigration novels, and now she had the idea of writing a rebirth story.

So, Tang Su decided on her theme just like that: Theme—Rebirth.

By the time Tang Su had finished with her mask, the page in her notebook, instead of being covered densely with ideas, sported only four characters and a punctuation mark.

Tang Su was speechless. After closing her notebook, her phone rang.

It was a call from Su Ruoan, "Are you up, my treasure?"

Being called a treasure by her mother still made the heart of a twenty-something-year-old Tang Su warm.

"Yeah, I’m up, your Majesty Mother. I just finished applying a facial mask."

"Then come out for breakfast. After we eat, your grandmother and Shen Yi’s grandmother want to take us ladies to listen to an opera."

"Oh, ok. What about my cousin Shen Yi?"

"She needs to rest her foot, and your grandmother Shen said she doesn’t like opera, so it’ll just be us. There are servants at home to take care of her."

"Alright, I’ll come downstairs right away."

"No rush, take your time getting ready."

"Okay, Mother."

Five minutes later, Tang Su put on a pink, thickened sweat suit. She carried her warm down jacket over her arm—it wasn’t needed indoors, but it would definitely come in handy once she stepped outside.

Then, she packed a few hand warmers in her bag.

After she was all set, Tang Su checked herself in the mirror before leaving.

Yeah, cute and lovable.

Only then did Tang Su take out her phone to message Lu Han, "Today, the Su Family ladies are going to listen to opera, but I’m not sure which opera house yet. I’ll send you the details when we get there."

"Got it," Lu Han replied instantly.

Tang Su paused, surprised. Was her Doctor Lu also an early riser?
