Union Of Enemies-Chapter 55
Chapter 55
Translated by CatMeme6
Jia Shao sat on the ground, pulled out all the things that were kept in boxes to get them ready to be moved to her and Zhen Lang's own house.
To say that it is their own house, it would be better to say it is their own door.
Because except for climbing up and down the stairs, both of them were still under the surveillance of the two sets of parents. They walked downstairs for meals and climbed back up when it is bedtime which actually made no difference.
The reason is because Zhen Family is wealthy and because Zhen Family owns the whole building and Zhen Papa's wish is very simple.......
He could not bear to stay far away from his son and daughter-in-law and the distance would be inconvenient for the elderly. He was also too lazy to move again in future and at the time when he constructed this building, he had already made plans. He planned where his son would stay, where his grandchildren would stay and how many grandchildren, etc.,etc.........
Anyway, when she looked at the situation of the building, even if she is to give birth non-stop, give birth to a whole nest, there would still be enough space for them to stay.
These few years while she was away studying outside, her mother had helped to keep her things properly. Unexpectedly, when she was working away from home, her mother had actually brought over all those things as well when they shifted house.
Pulling the dusty box from under the bed, Jia Shao paused for a while before she carefully opened it.
There was nothing of value inside the box. Most of the things were the trophies and award certificates that she had won in competitions since she was a child as well as some strange things that she had kept and some display ornaments, all of which were memories from the past when she was a young girl.
Jia Shao picked up each and every one of them, recalling her foolishness at that time.
There was a new pencil case, an unused note book, some pieces of colorful papers, an old eraser, and some weird things. All the things held traces of those years in the past, old memories and her na?vety. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
Inside the big box, a small box caught her attention. After thinking for a long time, she still could not remember where it came from. In puzzlement, she reached for the small box.
When she opened the box, she found a crystal glass ball with a sky-blue top.
Jia Shao's memory slowly returned and finally, she remembered that this was the birthday gift that Zhen Lang had given her. It was because the gift was given by him and because she felt full of resentment for him at that time, she had only opened it to take a look before throwing it aside.
She should be grateful to God that she had not thrown it directly into the trash bin that time. Who would have thought that the young boy whom she had hated for more than 10 years would eventually become her husband, the most intimate person next to her and........
She bit her lower lip and smiled slightly.
Holding the glass ball which was covered in dust for more than 10 years, she finally saw what it actually look like.
Inside the glass ball, a young man and a young woman were facing each other holding hands. Their upper body slowly bent forward until their foreheads touched and the smiles on their faces were so pure and flawless. She shook the glass ball in her hand and thin foam particles fluttered around before falling down like snowflakes.
No matter how one looks at it, the two youthful faces seem similar to him and her. On the thin glass wall, there is also a line of clear words........
~ As long as you smile...... From Zhen Lang.
When all the snowflakes had fluttered down, she could not help but shake it again. She hugged her legs, rested her head on her knees and looked foolishly at it.
As long as she smiles?
It seems to be like this.......as long as she smiles, no matter what she requests for......he will readily agree.
She shook her hands and a rattling sound came from the box as if there was still something inside.
Jia Shao put down the glass ball and looked into the empty box she was holding. Inside was a small piece of folded paper which had turned yellowish over time.
The handwriting was neat, could not be considered as elegant and she was certain it was Zhen Lang's handwriting.
~ After today, Zhen Lang is willing to protect Jia Shao forever. Accompany you and stay beside you. Believe me.
Protect her. Accompany her. His dreams have always been this and had never changed.
The door behind her was pushed opened and a man's clear voice floated over. "Is everything packed? Let me carry them."
Jia Shao raised her head. From her angle, his handsome figure seemed to be taller and he exuded an air of steadiness.
When she thought of the words written on the little note, the corner of her mouth curved up in a beautiful arc. Lazily she moved a little and said. "Vet......."
Zhen Lang sat down behind her and put his arms around her waist. His voice was soft and low. "What is the matter? Why are you so nice and obedient?"
He likes to see her smile. It seems it is true........
She leaned on his shoulder, turned her face sideways and giggled.
It was almost as soon as her laughter rose that his kiss landed intimately on her lips. He pecked on her lips and his kisses were soft and warm.
She shook the crystal ball in her hand and smiled. "When did you start to love me in secret?"
"Did I?" Zhen Lang's eyes rested on the little note in her hand. Suddenly, he pulled the note from her and his expression was calm. "Who wrote this? This hand-writing is really ugly."
"I also don't know." Jia Shao squinted at him. "It seems this person is very infatuated with me. I've decided to marry this person based on his infatuation, except that I don't know who this person is."
Zhen Lang leisurely reached out to hug her and turned her around to sit on his lap. "Even if you want to marry someone else, it is impossible. You are already mine and you are also with my seed. If you dare to run away, I will instruct Uncle Xie to charge you for theft and taking without asking."
Theft? Stealing his seed?
Taking without asking? Is it taking his little tadpole?
It was this scoundrel's fault. Every time he would not......what, what, what..........
So, it had so quickly caused her to become......what, what, what..............
Her freedom and her proud and ambitious future......were all ruined in his hands.
"Take care. The floor is cold." Zhen Lang placed her on his thighs to keep her off the floor. "You are a fool. The person who is good to you, you take him for an enemy and concentrated your attention on others. If I don't take steps to trap you, then wouldn't I have to stay a lifetime in the boudoir for you to send word*?"
(Stay in the boudoir for word describes the situation in olden days, where a girl of marriageable age will have to stay home to wait for offers of marriage and the idiom actually reads - 'girls wait in their bedrooms for words'.) 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m
Has he been waiting a lifetime for her to send word? He had only waited for 25 years and he behaves with such morality. What if he had waited a few more years, wouldn't it be ten times a day?
However, his usage of the idiom still satisfied the little thoughts in her heart, although his technical skills did not seem like a person waiting in the boudoir for word.
"Don't think too much." He pinched her cheeks. "A smart person will be able to learn by himself without a teacher, no matter where he is."
This.......can also be self-taught?
Okay, assuming that he is studying medicine and he has an understanding of the human body. But about kissing, every time she would be panting breathlessly, she would lose her mind and then she would be overwhelmed with craziness. All were lost with only just a kiss from him.
Suddenly she stretched out her hand and grabbed his collar. Jia Shao's voice sounded fierce. "Tell me what happened to you and Bai Wei that time. Did anything happen, that......that......that......."
"What is that, that, that?' Zhen Lang answered and pretended to be stupid. With one sweep of his hand, he carried her up. "Are you hungry? I brought you some food. Don't starve my baby."
Speaking of this, Jia Shao really felt a little hungry and rubbed her stomach. Suddenly she lifted her face and said. "Vet, I want to eat cream cakes."
Suddenly, Zhen Lang swayed and fortunately his beloved wife did not fly out of his arms. His usual calm expression was a bit distorted. "Don't you always vomit when you eat food that is sweet?"
Jia Shao shrugged and said very innocently. "I don't know. Perhaps my taste has changed since I am now pregnant. Anyway, I want to eat cream cakes now and I also want to eat lollipops, chocolates, puffs......"
Every time she mentioned something, his face would change and all kinds of expressions flashed across his face. He felt at a loss and stood there worriedly like a piece of wood.
Jia Shao watched appreciatively at the ambiguous changes on his face. She was astonished that he could also lose his cool in such a way and felt she had not carried this baby in vain.
She patted the unborn child in her belly and secretly talked to it.
Baby, oh baby.......in this life, your mother has no hope of winning your father and I can only depend on you. You must not let your mother lose face, do you understand?
