Chapter 216
Early the next morning, Yang June woke up to her cell phone ringing.
She fumbled and reached out for her phone, but couldn’t feel it.
Wang Boyce, who had been up almost all night, took her phone from the bed and pressed the answer button for her before slipping it into her palm.
Yang June confusedly grabbed the phone and put it to her ear ‘hello’.
“June, you’re not up yet?” Cheng Lydia’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
Yang June ‘hmmm’, “Not yet, sis, where are you?”
“I’m in Paris.”
“No? You’re in Paris too?” Yang June exclaimed with delight, her sleep instantly going halfway.
“What do you mean I’m in Paris too? Are you there too?”
“Uh-huh.” Yang June glanced up at Wang Boyce and smiled, “Brother Boyce and I are in Paris on our honeymoon, we just arrived last night.”
Wang Boyce looked down at her smiling face in his arms, honeymoon?
“You guys came over here for your honeymoon too?” Cheng Lydia also looked delighted.
Yang June nodded in Wang Boyce’s arms, her other small hand caressing Wang Boyce’s cheek as if unintentionally, then stopping between his ears and gently playing with his ear beads, “Brother Boyce is over here on business, I’m along for the ride, sis, how about dinner tonight?”
“Sure. I just don’t know if your Boyce brother would appreciate it?”
Yang June looked up and kissed him on the jaw, “Brother, you’ll be there with me, right?”
Wang Boyce was uncomfortable for a moment as she kissed him, and his mind was in turmoil as he spat out one word: “Will.”
“Great, Brother Boyce said he’d come with me.”
“I’ll see you tonight then.” Cheng Lydia smiled a bad smile.
Yang June hung up the phone and looked up to find Wang Boyce staring at him with a confused look on his face, as he gave him a small smile, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Wang Boyce pulled her off of himself, lifted the covers off the bed and stepped into the shower.
In the evening, Yang June and Wang Boyce went to a famous French restaurant together.
The restaurant was booked in advance by Shen Ron, and as soon as they met, the two sisters hugged and laughed non-stop.
Yang June let go of Cheng Lydia and scowled at her, “Didn’t you say you’d only be here for twenty days or so at first, and now it’s almost two months later and you’re still not going back.”
“It’s all him, he keeps dragging his feet and refusing to return.” Cheng Lydia pointed behind her at Shen Ron.
Yang June turns to Shen Ron: “Brother-in-law, don’t you want your company, and Isaac, too?”
Shen Ron immediately made a silent gesture at her.
Cheng Lydia has been yelling about missing her son since the day after she got out and has been yelling until now.
Yang June bit her lip and hemmed and hawed in embarrassment.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“What about you, is your foot better yet.”
“It wasn’t too badly hurt, and now it’s basically healed.” Yang June pulled her over, “Come on, let’s see what’s good.”
The sisters took their seats at the large round table, and Wang Boyce and Shen Ron took their respective seats beside their wives.
As we ate, Yang June took the initiative to raise her glass and said to the group, “Come on, let’s drink to this coincidence, and also, thank you brother-in-law for your hospitality, the desserts here are really good.”
Wang Boyce turned out to be uninterested, and after hearing her say that, he had to follow suit and lift his glass and say to Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia, “Thank you for dinner.”
As Yang June raised her glass and prepared to drink, Cheng Lydia scurried to block her glass and scolded, “Pregnant women are not allowed to drink, have you forgotten?”
“Not even red wine? And I’ll only have one sip.” Yang June was a little disappointed.
“Of course not.” Cheng Lydia picked up a glass of juice and placed it in front of her, “Juice instead of wine.”
At the word ‘pregnant’, Wang Boyce shuddered and looked at Yang June in shock, before asking dully, “What do you mean? You’re pregnant?”
“No way? You’re a dad and you don’t even know?” Cheng Lydia was also astonished.
Wang Boyce glanced at Cheng Lydia and his eyes immediately turned back to Yang June, “So it’s true? You’re pregnant?”
There was no elation on his heart and face, only shock and worry… Yang June was pregnant? Suddenly pregnant when he didn’t even know how many days he had left to live?
“I only found out about it the other day too.” Yang June said with a smile, she knew what was going through his mind, so she didn’t care if there was elation on his face.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Wang Boyce intoned reproachfully.
“Would you still let me come to France if I told you?” Yang June smiled wryly.
Wang Boyce was stalled in speech by her comment.
Cheng Lydia looked back and forth at the duo and giggled after sharing a smile with Shen Ron, “Brother Boyce, I’m sure you don’t know how pathetic you’ve been played by Yang June yet either, do you?”
“What?” A bad feeling welled up inside Wang Boyce.
“Sis!” Yang June reminded, she hadn’t had enough fun yet.
Cheng Lydia gave her sister a cross look, “Just about, watch out for our Boyce brother who is not sick but is scared out of his mind.”
Shen Ron also said to Wang Boyce with a smile, “Mr. Wang, you can do all those things you asked me to do yourself, because you can live as long as we all do.”
The more Wang Boyce listened, the more confused he became, but he also had a vague sense that something seemed fishy.
Cheng Lydia saw her confused face and was busy saying, “Ughhh, I’ll tell you straight, when you brought the sleeping pills home, June secretly switched them for vitamin tablets because she was worried about you forming a dependency on them. So instead of some poison, you’ve been taking vitamin tablets for the past few months, and you’re not going to die.”
Wang Boyce was shocked, staring at her in surprise.
So that’s it?
Yang June swapped his pills for vitamin tablets?
No wonder he thinks these sleeping pills are ineffective, and no wonder Yang June not only doesn’t worry but smiles when she hears he’s dying.
“How do you know that?” It was a long time before he asked through clenched teeth.
Cheng Lydia grinned, “I called anxiously to seek out June’s specifics when you called Ron, but she told me not to tell you the truth yet.”
“Yang June–!” Wang Boyce gritted his teeth as his indignant gaze turned to where Yang June was, only to realize with a start that Yang June had left the table at some point.
He glanced around; there was no Yang June in the private room.
Shen Ron laughed shallowly, “She’s probably afraid you’ll scold her and has gone out, so hurry up.”
Wang Boyce thought nothing of it and immediately got up from his chair and left the table.
As he walked out of the private room, he turned back to Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia and said, “Sorry, eat by yourselves tonight, I’ll treat you some other time.”
As for now, he’d have to go and give that whole little thing a good fix before he did.
“It’s fine, it’s fine, you go on.” Cheng Lydia waved at him.
After Wang Boyce left, Cheng Lydia lifted the wine on the table and raised it at Shen Ron: “It’s worth celebrating to finally see June happy.”
Shen Ron’s brow quirked slightly as he ranted in reproach, “Who just said that pregnant women can’t drink? Put the glass down now.”
Cheng Lydia bristled and swapped the wine for juice.
Shen Ron lifted his glass and clinked it with her, sipping with regret, “I really wouldn’t want to go back if you weren’t pregnant.”
A life for two people is too good to give up.
“How about we do it again when the baby is born?” Cheng Lydia said with a big smile.
“It’s okay.” Shen Ron leaned in, embracing her shoulders with one hand and caressing her flat stomach with the palm of his hand, smiling with happiness, “Little baby sure misses her brother, and it’s time for us to go back.”
“I’ll be back tomorrow.” Cheng Lydia planted a kiss on his cheek.
Shen Ron smoothly moved the palm of his hand held on her shoulder up to cup her small face and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.
His kiss was soft, but full of … love.
The famous River Seine is right in front of the restaurant, and when Wang Boyce chased him out, Yang June was watching a French guy selling songs by the river.
When she saw Wang Boyce coming after her, she turned and fled.
She was afraid to run too fast because she was newly pregnant.
Behind her, Wang Boyce also sweated for her and called out urgently, “Yang June, stop right there.”
“Only if you promise not to scold me!” Yang June raised her voice at him as she walked quickly forward, turning her head.
She didn’t want to be scolded by a man in public.
“I don’t scold you.” Wang Boyce wrinkled his brow.
“You swear!”
“I swear!”
Yang June finally stopped and turned back to stare at him with a sarcastic grin, “Brother, sorry haha, seems a little overplayed …”
“Apologies don’t cut it!” Wang Boyce pinched her thin waist with one hand, her jaw with the other, and lowered his head to kiss her hard on the lips in full view of everyone.
Yang June was stunned and busily began to struggle, while whimpering and reminding, “Brother, this is a big public place, it’s very disruptive to the city, people will laugh …”
If I had known that, I might as well have let him curse a few times.
“I’m not even afraid to die, and I’m not afraid to be laughed at?” Wang Boyce gave her a punishing bite on the lips, biting her so hard that she shivered.
“Brother … you promised me you wouldn’t get mad.”
“I’m not a good person in your mind anyway, so let’s make it even worse.” Wang Boyce scooped her up in a hug and headed for the hotel she was staying at not too far away.
It’s strange not to be angry when she teases you like that!
Yang June took a glance at the strange gazes around her, and really didn’t like the feeling of being treated as the center of attention, so she slapped Wang Boyce’s shoulder in anger, “Wang Boyce! You took revenge on me for so long, causing me to cry my tears dry, and being ridiculed and sarcastically called a mistress who stole Sasha’s boyfriend. I just got a little revenge on you and you can’t take it anymore?”
“That’s right, I can’t stand it.”
“You’re only allowing the government to set fire to the people, not the people to light a lamp.”
Wang Boyce suddenly gazed at her and said, “Yang June, have you ever tried the feeling of being on the verge of death? Have you ever tasted the feeling of knowing that you are dying, but you can’t let go of your heart’s love? Your revenge is the most terrible and cruel!”
Yang June’s heart softened and she stopped struggling, her arms gently circling his neck.
She deliberately acted as if she was drunk as she entered the hotel so as not to attract any sideways glances.
She didn’t reopen her eyes until Wang Boyce laid her down on the queen-sized bed in the suite, and seeing that he was in a position to pounce, she was busy putting her hands against his chest and blinking her eyes with innocence, “Are you sure you want to be strong with a pregnant woman?”
Wang Boyce’s body tightened, yes heh, he’d almost forgotten she was pregnant now.
A large palm caressed her flat belly and moved gently with it, “Don’t worry, I’ll be very careful and watchful.”
“That won’t work either. …”
“You don’t say.”
“Wang Boyce you …!”
“That’s right, I’m that dominant.” Wang Boyce interrupted her and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.
The baby was still in danger, so of course he didn’t dare to really take her, but kissed and touched her all over to relieve his lust.
Late in the night, Yang June leaned against his chest, her small hands gently playing with his toned pecs as she softly said, “Brother, thank you for doing so much for me.”
“What did I do for you?” Wang Boyce glanced down at her.
“I’ve seen and remembered anything you’ve done.”
“Yeah?”
“Of course.” Yang June took a light breath and said, “I admit that I didn’t have a good feeling for you at first because of my parents, but it didn’t take long for me to accept you and treat you like my real brother. You were so nice to me, of course I liked you too, but feelings are like that, it’s all about preconceptions, I already have Shen Ron living in my heart. Because I didn’t want to hurt you and didn’t want you to have expectations of me, that’s why I kept acting like I hated you. When I dragged Shen Belle to her own death three years ago, it’s not that I didn’t want to say goodbye to you, it’s not that I didn’t want to leave you a letter. It was just that I was afraid that saying goodbye to you would add to your pain, because I knew you must be the one person in the world who couldn’t bear to see me die. Little did I know that not only would I not make you feel better by doing so, but I would even cause you to suffer from insomnia.”
“So now what?” Wang Boyce asked as he gazed at her.
“Now?” Yang June smiled slightly, “There’s no Shen Ron in my heart anymore, so naturally I’m full of you.”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true.”
“Well, that I love to hear.” Wang Boyce closed his eyes contentedly, his palm brushing her cheek, his heart aching vaguely as his fingertips skimmed over the scar at the corner of her forehead.
She has suffered more than this one scar.
Yang June, however, grabbed his palm off and said shyly, “Brother, can I ask you a question?”
“Ask away.”
“Why did you leave a woman as beautiful as Sasha alone? You have to have me, a disfigured one?”
“Does that question make sense to you?”
“People … are just curious.”
“Because I have a fetish for ugliness.”
“Bugger …!” Yang June scolded with a laugh and slapped his arm.
“What else do you think it’s because of?” Wang Boyce grabbed her small hand and held it to his heart.
“I think … you just love me, and you don’t need a reason to love me.” Yang June giggled.
“Narcissism.”
“You’re the one who made me so self-absorbed.” Yang June sighed in a mock impatient sigh, and said in a wooden voice, “One day, I’ll be spoiled beyond belief by you.”
After a while of silence, Yang June suddenly remembered that the two of them hadn’t eaten dinner yet, so she opened, “Brother, we haven’t eaten yet, let’s go out for a snack?”
Wang Boyce just gave a low ‘hmm’ and didn’t move.
Yang June saw him stay still for a long time and looked up, only to find that he was actually asleep.
He had almost lost sleep last night, and although he wanted to hear more good words from Yang June, sleep was eating away at his sanity bit by bit, and he eventually fell asleep, unable to resist.
“And you say you have insomnia, you fall asleep so quickly.” Yang June cooed, looking disgruntled on the surface, but warm in her heart.
It seems his insomnia isn’t incurable, and he’ll never lose sleep as long as she’s around.
She climbed on top of him and whispered with her mouth to his ear, “Wang Boyce, I haven’t told you I love you yet, so I’ll have to save that for tomorrow.”
His eyes swept to the floor-to-ceiling windows, which were just right for the night.
Tomorrow, it’s going to be a new and wonderful day!
