Wheres Your Daddy - Chapter 18 Sleep

“I take thee to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward,

for better, for worse,

for richer, for poorer,

in sickness and in health,

to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I pledge myself to you.”

She corrected the words inwardly “Till contract do us apart!”

Li Wei picked her veil and a warm, short kiss was going to fall on her lips, When she heard a scream.

“Stop!”

Yuyu ran in a white dress, holding a knife. “I will kill you. Stealing my brother!”

She came close in a jiff. Panicked, Rushi ran in the opposite direction, meeting another woman in white with a knife coming to her.

It was Wang Shu! “Kill her. Stealing my son!”

Sandwiched between both sides Rushi stood dumbfounded, shrinking hiding herself in her arms, she screamed.

“Ahh__”

“What happened?” Li Wei asked turning on the lights in the room.

‘It was a dream.’ Though putting a strong front in front of Wang Shu yesterday, Rushi was subconsciously scared. ‘Coward’ she said to herself.

“Nothing. Just a nightmare. A bloody nightmare. Hmph! Sleep!” she yelled annoyed at Li Wei, turning off the lights.

‘All of this is this man’s fault.’

Li Wei innocently watched her sleep ‘I was just trying to help.’ Imagining a different situation like: The frightened Rushi trembling in his arms while he comforts her softly, Li Wei was even willing to rent her, his shoulders and wide chest for support but she instead pushed him off. Mad at him.

His heart was bitter, his mouth in dark trembling sadly. Sadly no one could see the iconic hurt and whimper on his face, like a pitiful puppy.

Next morning at the table,

While Li Wei was feeding LeLe cereal, lowering and raising the spoon to his mouth playfully.

“Ma..mam..” LeLe was stretching hands, laughing.

Suddenly, a strong voice echoed “Li Wei, when are you going to the store. Now, everything is settled. Start working!” Li Zifeng his Granda said.

He was still reluctant to work. ‘Want to enjoy more days of freedom’

“Grandpa, I want to spend some more time with my son and wife.”

“Li Wei, no more excuses. You are a father of a kid now, not a kid yourself. Get to work. Know your responsibilities.” Now it was the turn of his father to berate him.

“Dad, how about giving him ‘ Central One ‘ department store.” Wang Shu commended.

Li Wei frowned. It was ‘The Only department store’ at a time. Extremely famous but unfortunately now it was running in loss. ‘Mom, Why? What a headache.’

Thinking over her suggestion, grandpa immediately agreed ” Yes, that store was what I build. I am sad to see its current state. If he could bring it back to original glory then he is fit to be my grandson.”

The Central one store, the first store of Central group empire of the departmental store was nothing more than a worn down building. which not even visited by a fly, let alone a human!
