Chapter 675 - 662
...
While she was packing at home, Le Zhengsheng watched her at the doorway.
"Is this considered a perk?" Le Zhengsheng smiled.
"Yeah." Yu Sangwan nodded, "Royal Mountain Resort, I’ve only heard of it before, didn’t expect to actually go."
She stood on tiptoe, trying to reach the suitcase on top of the cupboard. But she was still a bit short and couldn’t reach it. She thought for a moment and went to get the stool beside her.
"Hey..." Le Zhengsheng sighed, walked over, stretched out his long arm, and easily helped her get it down, "Here you go, being short is really a hassle."
"Hehe, thank you."
Yu Sangwan took the suitcase, opened it, and started putting her luggage inside piece by piece.
Le Zhengsheng crossed his arms and watched from the side, "This time Master has work, otherwise I could have followed along to enjoy the perks... Too bad, Master and I have to be busy. You go on your own, I’ll take good care of Little Mantou, don’t worry."
"Yeah." Yu Sangwan nodded, not putting much thought into it.
Le Zhengsheng thought for a moment and then asked, "I heard Helian Si and Qin Mengshu are seeing each other?"
"..." Yu Sangwan paused in her actions, nodded blankly, "Yeah."
She looked up and asked, "By the way, what about Qin Mengshu? You should’ve known her before, right?"
"Yeah, I know her." Le Zhengsheng pursed his lips, thinking for a moment, "How should I say this? She’s okay, not too familiar, just know she’s a typical wealthy young lady."
He keenly noticed something, "Why ask like that? Do you care?"
"Uh?" Yu Sangwan was startled but quickly disguised it, "Weren’t you the one who brought her up first? Why should I care about her?"
Le Zhengsheng thought about it and realized he did mention it first. "Leaving the day after tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
Le Zhengsheng sighed, "I can’t see you off, I have to go home tomorrow..."
Go home? Yu Sangwan was surprised, Le Zheng had returned for quite some time now but never mentioned going home. He didn’t bring it up, and she didn’t ask, now thinking about it... she indeed overlooked it.
Yu Sangwan tugged at the corner of her mouth, "You should, it’s been many years since you went back, you should go see your dad."
"Yeah." Le Zhengsheng nodded, "Heard from a friend, my dad’s not feeling well these days."
"..." Yu Sangwan’s heart skipped a beat, seeing Le Zhengsheng’s expression not looking great, "Ah Sheng, you... don’t be sad."
Le Zhengsheng smiled, "I’m not, tomorrow... I might not come back, leaving the day after, take care of yourself."
"Okay."
Le Zhengsheng raised his hand and rubbed her head, "Rest early, I’m going to my room."
"Yeah."
Watching Le Zhengsheng’s back, Yu Sangwan felt her mood becoming heavy...
Next day, Yu Sangwan returned from Guan Chao, and upon entering, saw the butler.
The butler looked somewhat tense, "Miss, you’re back... go see Mr. Le Zheng!"
"Ah Sheng?" Yu Sangwan was surprised, "Didn’t he go home?"
"Yes, but he came back early, he’s upstairs now, the doctor has already come."
"What?" Yu Sangwan was shocked, how did he end up needing a doctor after going home?
Feeling anxious, she hurried upstairs and knocked on Le Zheng’s room door.
"Ah Sheng, it’s Wanwan."
"Come in."
She pushed the door open and saw Le Zheng sitting on the couch bare-chested, his back covered in bruises, while the doctor was tending to him.
"Ah Sheng!" Yu Sangwan was genuinely worried, rushing over, grabbing his hand, frowned and asked, "How did it end up like this? Didn’t you go home?"
"Yeah!" Le Zhengsheng laughed, "The old man saw me, got so mad his illness was cured, jumped up from bed to hit me... haha."
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned.
Watching Le Zhengsheng laugh, she just wanted to cry. Although she wasn’t there, she could imagine the scene! Le Zhengpeng, that person, was as bold as he was fiery.
Looking at the bruises all over Le Zhengsheng’s back, Yu Sangwan’s eyes instantly reddened, holding him to check closely, "Apart from these bruises, anything else? Any cuts? Is there bleeding? You shouldn’t bleed!"
"Hehe."
Seeing her so worried, Le Zhengsheng was very pleased, smiled and waved at the doctor.
The doctor understood and nodded before leaving.
As soon as the doctor left, Le Zhengsheng hugged Yu Sangwan, his chin resting on the top of her head.
Yu Sangwan was startled, body stiffening, "Ah Sheng."
"Wanwan." Le Zhengsheng sighed softly, "You worry about me, do you know how happy that makes me?"
"..." Yu Sangwan was silent, feeling very guilty. She knew what Le Zheng wanted, but her concern was far from what he desired!
Le Zhengsheng sighed and continued.
"My dad’s getting old, he really is. Jumping up to hit me, his strength isn’t what it used to be. If it were before, my head would definitely be bleeding by now. Now after hitting me, he made himself even sicker with anger, I’m truly unfilial."
Yu Sangwan choked up, it was all because of her.
"Wanwan." Le Zhengsheng said, "My dad only has me left as his son, his hair is turning white!"
He lowered his head, burying his face in Yu Sangwan’s neck, silently shedding tears.
Yu Sangwan raised her hand, gently hugging him, patting his shoulder. Besides that, she didn’t know what else she could do for him.
Five years ago, Le Zheng resolutely broke away from his father for her, went to the west, and after all these years, the father-son relationship remained strained, she was the root of the conflict!
...
Coming out from Le Zhengsheng’s room, Yu Sangwan felt heavy-hearted.
The butler approached softly, calling her, "Miss, phone... it’s from Lezheng Mansion."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing, Yu Sangwan immediately went to answer it.
"Hello?" From the other end, Le Zhengpeng’s deep voice indeed came through.
Le Zhengsheng wasn’t wrong, five years... for the young it’s growth, but for the older, aging is so inevitable.
Yu Sangwan’s eyes welled up, "Uncle Le Zheng."
"Hey..." Le Zhengpeng sighed, not as furious as five years ago, "How is Ah Sheng? I was angry then, didn’t hold back, did he... bleed?"
"No." Yu Sangwan choked up, "There are some bruises, medicine has been applied... he’s resting now."
"Okay." Le Zhengpeng paused for a few seconds, genuinely unsure what to say, "Well then, please take good care of him... I’m hanging up."
The phone clicked gently, Yu Sangwan stood dumbfounded, raising her hand to cover her eyes.
Because Le Zhengsheng hurried back, the next day, it was him who saw Yu Sangwan off.
The meeting point was Guan Chao, and Le Zhengsheng as family helped carry her suitcase.
"Be careful on your own... even though it’s for summer retreat, don’t catch a chill." Le Zhengsheng helped her put the suitcase in the car, still nagging, "And there might be lots of mosquitoes, I’ve prepared the repellent, remember to use it in advance, don’t wait to get bitten and then look for the medicine."
"Got it, Mom!"
Yu Sangwan grinned, teasing Le Zheng.
"You little brat!"
Le Zhengsheng playfully knocked her head, matching her mood, "Can’t you just listen and make your mother worry less?"
"Huh?" Yu Sangwan was startled, amused by his serious tone, "Hahaha..."
Not far away, Helian Si was approaching with Ou Guanshen, naturally witnessing this scene.
Helian Si remained unfazed, yet his gaze darkened.
