Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Pretending to Be Drunk or Truly Drunk

Headhunting Company.

The first thing that came to Tang Yue’s mind was this, but before she could say it out loud, she swallowed it. At this time, there shouldn’t be any headhunting companies yet, right?

"Nothing is impossible to a willing heart." Tang Yue changed her tune and said, "For example, the elites in school, they have the talent in this area, and if we train them for a few more years, won’t they be capable of handling it?"

"Sis, you are right, why didn’t I think of that?"

Lian Qingyang gave his own forehead a hard slap. There are many talents in school, and although they lack work experience, they are promising prospects. With proper training, in a few years, he could let go and not have to work so hard like now.

"Sis, you’re so great."

Lian Qingyang said happily.

Tang Yue smiled faintly until Si Yu came to pick her up. When Tang Yue saw Si Yu, she remembered the matter of pretending to be drunk!

Last night, Si Yu said there was something at the company, and he came back very late. By the time he returned, Tang Yue was already asleep.

By the time she woke up the next morning, Si Yu had already left.

Tang Yue wanted to ask him but couldn’t.

Now that Si Yu came to pick her up, Tang Yue looked at him with clear, bright eyes.

"Wife, I’m here to take you home." Si Yu’s smile was deep, with a tone that carried a hint of flattery.

"Xiao Yue just came, she’s staying here today. It doesn’t matter where you stay, it’s all the same." Lian Tong was reluctant to let Tang Yue leave, pulling her, insisting she stays.

"Okay, I’ll stay here." Tang Yue didn’t refuse either.

Si Yu looked at Tang Yue, seeing she didn’t object, he then sat down and said, "Then I’ll stay here too. Auntie, your belly is quite big now, when’s the baby due next year?"

Si Yu smoothly changed the topic.

Lian Tong talked about the child, as if there was endless chatter.

Everyone sat together chatting, making it quite lively.

Night.

Tang Yue coaxed the two kids to sleep and then straightened up, asking, "Were you pretending to be drunk that day?"

Her words were more of a statement.

"No." Si Yu denied without even thinking.

Of course, he couldn’t admit it!

No, it wasn’t really pretending to be drunk.

He was indeed drunk at first, half tipsy and half awake when he returned to the yard, still a bit unclear. By the time he returned to the room, he was more or less sober.

"Impossible. Then why have you been avoiding me these days?" Tang Yue’s bright eyes scrutinized him, seemingly analyzing whether his words were deceiving her.

"No, honey, you misunderstood, I was just busy, that’s why I came back so late yesterday." Si Yu took the opportunity to sit on the bed; if he couldn’t hug his wife’s body, hugging her legs was just as good. He massaged Tang Yue’s legs, saying, "Didn’t I come to pick you up today because I have time?"

Si Yu looked up, his dark eyes full of sincerity.

Tang Yue couldn’t discern anything, so she tentatively believed him. Seeing his hand move further, she slapped it away, glared at him, and said, "Where are you touching?"

"I’m massaging your leg!" Si Yu said without changing his expression.

"No."

Tang Yue retracted her leg; his rough hands on her tender skin felt less like a massage and more like teasing her.

"I’m talking about serious matters with you. Were you really drunk or pretending to be drunk?" Tang Yue pressed on.

Si Yu lay on his side and said, "Honey, I’m tired."

"These days, there have been a lot of things at the company." Si Yu closed his eyes, looking extremely tired, about to sleep.

Tang Yue watched him angrily. How could she not know he was pretending to be drunk yesterday? He might have been drunk at first, but he definitely sobered up later.

She could sense something was off.

Si Yu closed his eyes, pretending to sleep, remaining unmoved despite Tang Yue’s glare.

"Liar!" Tang Yue muttered. After glaring for a while, her eyes grew sore; watching Si Yu’s sleeping face, her initial anger gradually turned into heartache.

Even in sleep, his thick, dark eyebrows didn’t relax. His handsome features couldn’t hide the fatigue under his eyes.

The past few days, due to Li Wei and Yan Dong’s wedding and the company nearing the end of the year, there were many things to handle. Yesterday, he returned so late, partly avoiding her, but mainly because there was work to do at the company.

Sigh, why does her man have to be so outstanding?

If he could just be an ordinary person, not so excellent, she’d be very content. This way, he wouldn’t have to work so hard, so desperately.

The scars on his body were too numerous to count, and each time he said it didn’t hurt, it caused her heartache.

Especially when she gave birth. Even though he was a patient himself, he still insisted on accompanying her into the delivery room. Thinking about the long time he was unconscious and she didn’t even know, it made her heartache and feel uncomfortable.

The anger in Tang Yue’s heart gradually vanished completely. Carefully, she lay down, found a comfortable spot in his embrace, and absorbed his scent, feeling utterly secure.

"Next time, don’t pretend to be drunk." Tang Yue rested her head on his chest, murmuring softly yet ensuring Si Yu heard it loud and clear.

Si Yu stretched his long arms, tightly hugging Tang Yue. That night was just simple cuddling in warmth and beauty, without any tumultuous incidents.

During the night, feeding the children twice, Tang Yue fell into a deep sleep. Si Yu took over changing diapers and everything else.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sun was bright, and the sky was clear.

Tang Yue stayed at the Lian Family for a day before returning home with Si Yu in the evening.

"Xiao Yue, it’s almost the New Year, and you’re still not resting!" Lian Tong couldn’t help but grumble. Her niece was fine in every way, except always being too busy.

She accompanied them the whole day yesterday, and even when the child slept, she saw Tang Yue holding a sketchbook, drawing design drafts.

"Auntie, I can’t rest." Tang Yue needed to hand over the clothes she made these days. Having taken a day off yesterday was already a rare kindness.

On the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month, Tang Yue handed over all the clothes for the month. Seeing the surprised smiles on each client’s face was the greatest compliment to her.

Having dealt with this matter, Tang Yue also had some free time before the New Year. She sorted through her dividends, and the amount was so large it gave her quite a shock; she hadn’t expected to become a wealthy person.

Tang Yue happily looked at her money, thinking that come Spring, she’d buy some books and send them to the school. The library there had too few books.

She also needed to get the sponsorship for underprivileged students rolling.

As for the donation matter at the garment factory, it required further discussion. They had talked about it before but hadn’t implemented it yet.

"Honey, Dad just asked if we should go to the hospital tomorrow?" Si Yu walked in to find Tang Yue writing in a notebook. Seeing her plans to donate ten thousand books to schools, he said, "I know where to buy books."
