I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack-Chapter 72 - The Woman From the Past

Madam Yun didn’t expect Yun Zhengyang’s condition to aggravate so quickly either. To think that he suffered a relapse at the Chu Manor.

Looking at her husband’s pale face and uneven breathing, she broke down.

In the dark night.

The Chu Manor’s lights lit up.

“What’s going on?!” Madam Chu came out wearing her pajamas and a coat.

Madam Yun held back her tears and forced Yun Zhengyang’s medicine into his mouth. However, it was obvious that he had lost his ability to swallow.

Madam Yun shouted in his ear, “Zhengyang, Zhengyang!”

The Chu family’s doctor rushed over. Unfortunately, he had no idea what to do in the face of such a condition.

At this moment, Chu Cichen strode in.

He frowned and suddenly asked, “Where’s the medicine that Shen Ruojing gave you?”

Madam Yun pointed to the drawer beside her.

He strode over, opened the drawer, and took out a pill. Then, he returned to Yun Zhengyang’s side and fed it to him.

The pill dissolved immediately in Yun Zhengyang’s mouth and flowed into his throat. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

Chu Cichen then observed Yun Zhengyang’s expression.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Yun Zhengyang’s breathing had become smoother.

At this moment, the ambulance arrived and the nurses rushed up. A group of people then carried a stretcher and sent Yun Zhengyang to the vehicle.

Chu Cichen and Madam Chu also accompanied Madam Yun to the hospital.

At 2 a.m.

Yun Zhengyang was finally pushed out of the emergency room. His eyes were closed and his breathing had stabilized. The ER doctor said, “It was really dangerous. Mr. Yun almost couldn’t make it, but suddenly, his blood statistics started to slowly return to normal. His desire to live is too strong. Now, Mr. Yun is temporarily out of danger.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Yun heaved a sigh of relief. The next moment, her legs went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.

As the crisis had been averted, Madam Yun and Yun Zhengyang stayed in the hospital, while Chu Cichen accompanied Matriarch Chu home.

–

On the way home, Chu Cichen turned his head and stared outside.

The night in Sea City was very quiet. There were no longer any pedestrians on the road.

As the Chu family’s car drove on the road, Matriarch Chu just sat beside him quietly, looking very tired. She suddenly said, “Cichen, life is unpredictable. You don’t know when accidents will happen, so don’t always live so bitterly.”

Chu Cichen slowly turned to look at her.

His gaze gradually deepened. “What are you trying to say?”

Matriarch Chu said, “I want to say that no matter what it is, just follow your heart. The person in your heart has passed away for so long. If you meet someone suitable, can you not be so stubborn?”

The aura around Chu Cichen instantly changed.

He lowered his head. “I haven’t met anyone suitable.”

“Is that so?” Matriarch Chu tried to push it further. “What do you think of Shen Ruojing?”

Chu Cichen immediately frowned. “I know what you mean, but I won’t marry her.”

Matriarch Chu hesitated. “Why? I can see that you have a favorable impression of her.”

Chu Cichen was stunned. “What?”

Matriarch Chu slowly explained, “You’ve always shown a strict and harsh expression to other women, but she is the only one you could speak calmly to. Moreover, whenever she appears, your gaze will involuntarily focus on her… And don’t think that I don’t know you’ve been listening to her songs recently!”

Chu Cichen’s pupils narrowed.

Matriarch Chu continued, “You have a good impression of her, and she’s the mother of your three children. I can tell that she likes you, so why don’t you give it a try?”

Chu Cichen pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

Matriarch Chu stopped there. She was afraid that if she said too much, it would bring up her son’s rebellious mindset.

Very soon, the car arrived at the Chu Manor.

After getting out of the car, Matriarch Chu let out a yawn and then sighed. “I’m getting old and I haven’t been able to sleep well recently.”

After that, she went back to her bedroom. Before she went in, she turned around and looked, only to see that Chu Cichen didn’t go to his bedroom but headed to the study instead.

Matriarch Chu shook her head. Her son was really a workaholic.

In the study.

Chu Cichen stared at the music-playing software on the screen. When he looked through his playlist, he realized that it was true that for the past two days, he had only been listening to Anonymous’s songs.

He frowned and slowly lowered his head.

After sitting there for a very long time, he suddenly moved his hand and uninstalled the music player application.

He couldn’t be together with Shen Ruojing.

He had never forgotten about a woman in his heart, and this wasn’t fair to Shen Ruojing.

Moreover… he couldn’t bear to forget that woman either.

After all, if even he forgot about her, then there’d probably be no one in this world who would remember her…

Chu Cichen then stood up and left the study before entering his bedroom.

On this night, he had a nightmare.

In his dream, he seemed to have returned to the day of the explosion that took place five years ago.

He drove to where they agreed to meet.

Then, he saw her with her back facing him, standing not far away. As if noticing something, she slowly turned back.

He tidied his clothes and tried to squeeze out a smile, wanting to walk toward her, telling her the words he had been preparing for very long. However, he had just taken out the first step when a loud ‘bang’ rang out. A heat wave then surged over, overturning him.

He fell to the ground in a sorry state, watching as the space in front of him got flattened. Now, there was no one at the spot where she was previously standing…

He reached out his hand, wanting to drag her back from the explosion. “No, don’t…”

…

Chu Cichen abruptly woke up.

His eyes were filled with reluctance. He then let out a long sigh, rubbed his forehead and sat up. After a while, he took out the watch on the bedside table and looked at it, realizing that it was already seven in the morning.

Hence, he got up and looked at himself in the mirror as he performed his morning ablutions.

After he was done, he headed down.

There were lively sounds from the direction of the dining hall.

Chu Yu, Chu Tianye, and Chu Xiaomeng had all woken up and were having breakfast. Matriarch Chu sat there quietly in front of them.

Chu Yu said, “When Mommy’s not around, even the breakfast doesn’t taste good! Sigh!”

Chu Tianye’s lips twitched and turned to shout, “Chuyu! You dog! Where did you run off too?”

The moment he said this, Matriarch Chu looked at him. “Little Ye, have your breakfast! Don’t scold people!”

“I didn’t! I was scolding the dog!” Chu Tianye said this and lowered his head, wanting to eat the dumpling in his bowl when he noticed something. “Chu Xiaomeng! Did you put your vegetables in my bowl again?”

Chu Xiaomeng looked at him in a daze. “I didn’t.”

She then quickly ate her dumplings and said, “Grandmother, I’m done eating. I’ll be going to read.”

Chu Xiaomeng held onto her dinosaur soft toy and ran toward the study. She had just started running when she heard Chu Tianye say, “Everyone has three pieces of vegetables. I’ve eaten two, so why do I still have three more? Hey, $100 for each piece of vegetable!”

Matriarch Chu couldn’t help but say, “Little Ye, I love money too, but only you’re miserly enough to care about this little bit of money!”

“Many a little makes a mickle!” Chu Tianye said proudly.

Matriarch Chu: “Alright, hurry up and eat. After we’re done, I still have to go look for the miraculous doctor. Sigh!”

When Chu Tianye heard this, his eyes blinked and he suddenly said, “Grandmother, I can tell you a secret~”
