Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets-Chapter 1176: Get Back Here (Third Update)

"Yes, mom raised Zaozao and Chenchen so well, in the future, Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan’s children will surely give you trouble." Tang Yue managed to lift Zhang Hualian’s spirits before hanging up the phone.

"Honey, don’t you think two kids seem a bit few?"

Si Yu wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Tang Yue raised an eyebrow, glanced sideways at him, and said, "You wouldn’t want another one, would you?"

"No, I can’t bear to see you in pain again." Si Yu tightened his grip around her. Having two kids already made him very content. When Tang Yue gave birth, it scared him to death; he really didn’t want to go through that experience again.

"Hehe." Tang Yue turned around, playfully blinked, and said, "Even if you wanted more, you couldn’t. The country only allows one child now."

Even if they allowed a second child in the future, by then she’d be too old; her son could be marrying by then, and she definitely wouldn’t be having another one. So...

"Si Yu, we’ll just have Zaozao and Chenchen, the two kids." Tang Yue’s bright eyes flickered as she looked at him.

"That’s enough."

Si Yu lifted her onto the bed, checked her feet to ensure they were fine, and then said, "Don’t endure pain like this anymore."

"I won’t."

Tang Yue threw herself into his arms, just as she was about to tease him, Zaozao and Chenchen came in.

"Mom, I want to sleep with you."

Chenchen stood at the door, blinking big, round eyes identical to Tang Yue’s and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"I want a hug too."

Chenchen opened his arms and squeezed right between them.

"Alright, let’s all hug Chenchen too."

The four of them squeezed together on the bed, with Zaozao suddenly saying, "Dad, you won’t carry us back to our room in the middle of the night."

Si Yu raised his hand and knocked lightly, saying, "Who carried you back to your room in the middle of the night?"

"Mom definitely wouldn’t have, other than you, who else but Chenchen could carry us?" Zaozao spoke seriously with a little frown, recalling the last time he slept with mom; he woke up in his own room again.

"I didn’t carry you." Chenchen raised both hands to show his innocence.

Tang Yue was laughing so much from the side, she couldn’t close her mouth.

In the Siheyuan, everyone was joyous—be it Tang Yue’s family of four or Lian Qingyang and Jin Yan—everyone was happy. Jin Yan, sleeping in the guest room of Siheyuan that night, couldn’t fall asleep tossing and turning.

In just a month, she would marry the man she loved most. It felt like a dream.

In a daze, Jin Yan thought, although she had napped for a bit longer today, she had been worn out by Lian Qingyang last night. An initial burst of excitement soon drifts her into sleep.

Poor Lian Qingyang next door, thinking about how Jin Yan was sleeping in the adjacent room. Having just indulged in adulthood pleasures yesterday, his youthful energy took him a few cold showers to cool down, eventually dozing off at dawn.

Morning has arrived.

For Hu Guangyong, although the morning light emerged, everything felt dark.

He was fired from Lian Group and banned from future employment there. As the security manager, he had illicitly destroyed the hotel’s surveillance recordings; which hotel would dare hire him now?

After working in this field for over two decades to reach the manager position, he now faced lower wages if he switched careers, unable to support his family of elders and youngsters.

Miss Lian.

If it weren’t for Miss Lian, how could he have done such a thing?

Hu Guangyong had indeed received ten thousand for destroying the recordings but never imagined it cost him his job afterward.

Initially, he thought he was helping Lian Qingyang but little did he know, it was a scheme against him.

Rumors of Miss Lian had reached Hu Guangyong’s ears, thinking Lian Qingqing and Lian Qingyang grew up together, perhaps there was an underlying bond?

Hu Guangyong searched for Miss Lian for a day but found nothing; determined, he was sure he’d find Lian Qingqing eventually.

Since losing his job, he wouldn’t let Lian Qingqing off easily.

Hu Guangyong spent a few thousand to quietly track down Lian Qingqing.

As long as Lian Qingqing was in Jing City, he would run into her.

Tao Yujun had also been miserably harmed by Shen Qingqing.

Waking up the next day, Tao Yujun was greeted by reporters’ glaring flashlights; she hurriedly chased them away, but they had thoroughly captured her in an unflattering light.

Wanting an explanation from Lian Qingyang, remembering yesterday’s events, Tao Yujun sulked away to avoid confrontation at Mingzhu Hotel.

Upon leaving, she closely monitored newspaper reportage on herself, tearing up any copy she laid eyes on.

Once news reached Sea City’s Tao Family, Mr. Tao berated Tao Yujun over the phone with venomous reproaches—bailing on a marriage was one thing, banking on connections with the Lian Family was wishful thinking.

Who could have imagined...

Upon seeing the newspapers, Mr. Tao was so enraged he felt like devouring Tao Yujun alive—bringing shame to the Tao Family!

Mr. Tao lashed out at Tao Yujun, demanding she immediately return to Sea City.

Tao Yujun abruptly hung up. No, she couldn’t return so ignominiously; returning meant marrying an old man, crushing her dreams of happiness.

Shen Qingqing.

Hiding at home for a day, Tao Yujun instinctively decided to find Shen Qingqing early the next morning.

She had visited Shen Qingqing’s home before; hastily taking a cab straight to the Shen Family gate, she shouted loudly, "Shen Qingqing, I want to see you."

"Shen Qingqing, come out."

Tao Yujun yelled, facing the grand villa that resembled a golden canary’s cage. If it weren’t for Shen Qingqing’s ideas, how would she have ended up embarrassed today?

"Our lady is resting and isn’t seeing guests," a servant spoke while stepping outside.

Indifferent to the situation, Tao Yujun sidestepped the servant, barging inside while exclaiming, "Shen Qingqing, you dare to ignore me!"

She stormed into the living room where someone claimed Shen Qingqing was resting, spotting Shen Qingqing casually enjoying grapes there. Upon seeing Tao Yujun arrive, Shen Qingqing smiled warmly, saying, "Yu Jun, I was just about to rest. What’s happened? What’s the rush? Who upset you?"

Shen Qingqing’s gentle words almost convinced Tao Yujun of her sincerity if not for the disastrous news enveloping Jing City, making her suspect Shen Qingqing’s awareness.

Now, Tao Yujun felt Shen Qingqing knew everything, marching forward and accusing Shen Qingqing, "Shen Qingqing, you’ve caused me so much misery, how can you pretend nothing’s wrong?"
