Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 562: Chapter 536: Pretending to Be a Ghost and Dreaming

It was the familiar scene, the pitch-black darkness with only a faint light.

Xiao Qian felt something chasing her.

Her consciousness told her to stop and see what was chasing her, but her body instinctively kept her running forward until she reached a cliff with nowhere left to go. She wanted to turn around but couldn’t move.

At this moment, the cliff under her feet began to crumble, and she fell into the endless abyss!

Xiao Qian opened her eyes, gasping for breath.

It was that dream again.

She had been having this dream for many consecutive days – being chased by something and then falling off a cliff.

Although she knew it was just a dream, she still felt a little panicked when she woke up.

Maybe the sensation of falling in the dream was too real, and even after awakening, her heart couldn’t calm down. Xiao Qian wanted to turn on the bedside lamp, but was startled by a face that suddenly appeared by her bed.

When she realized it was Shi Touyu, Xiao Qian angrily picked up a pillow and hit her.

“Are you crazy? Is it fun to scare people like a ghost in the middle of the night?!”

Especially with that eyes that seemed to say goodbye forever, it was too creepy!

Shi Touyu hugged her small quilt and looked at Xiao Qian with a pitiful expression.

“Boss Qian, I can’t sleep, and I’m feeling uneasy. Da Yi disturbed me; she’s sleeping so soundly and laughing in her dreams, saying ‘don’t, don’t, Second Brother.’ I had no choice but to come to you.”

“You’re such a drama queen. Come on, get in!” Xiao Qian made some room for her, and Shi Touyu lay down beside her.

“Boss Qian, do you think Da Yi is missing springtime? Second Brother has been away for only a week to attend the air show, and every night she giggles in her sleep. She’s usually so reserved; why does she behave like this when she’s asleep?”

Xiao Qian’s house had two bedrooms; Boss Qian had one room to herself, and the other room was for Shi Touyu and Da Yi.

Da Yi was usually quiet, but she often talked in her sleep. The most wicked thing Xiao Qian and Shi Touyu had ever done was to take advantage of her sleeping and use Xiao Qian’s professional hypnosis techniques to ask her how often she was intimate with Second Brother, and in how many different positions.

In the end, they concluded: The Yu brothers were not human!

“To some extent, dreams reflect a person’s subconscious needs and desires. Some dreams allow you to vent out your suppressed emotions and pain. Da Yi must be missing Second Brother and dreaming about the good times.”

As Xiao Qian explained this to Shi Touyu, her own heart was filled with confusion.

If Da Yi’s dreams were all about giggling and intimacy, why did she keep dreaming of being chased and then falling from the sky?

From a psychological perspective, she must be fearing something, and this fear has not been properly released. The thing chasing her should represent the object of her fear.

But what exactly is she afraid of?

Xiao Qian pondered this question for a long time but couldn’t find an answer.

Her life had always been stable, her studies were going well, her family was doing well, and her lover was very good to her—

Wait, could it be because Yu Xiaoqiang had been missing for several days, and that was why she was acting so abnormally?

Xiao Qian recounted the number of days she and Yu Minglang hadn’t been in touch, while Shi Touyu lay beside her, talking to herself and looking at the ceiling.

“My brother hasn’t contacted me for nearly ten days. I wonder how he’s doing now. Actually, I don’t really understand men’s careers and the pursuit of glory. I just want him to always be with me, and it doesn’t really matter how well he does at work.”

Shi Touyu’s lover, Qiao Zhen, was with Yu Minglang, and they were said to be busy during this time.

“It’s the same for all of us.” Xiao Qian responded to Shi Tou, wiping away the doubts in her heart.

She wasn’t having nightmares because of her worry for Yu Minglang.

She had gotten used to their long-distance relationship over the years, and since Yu Minglang’s promotion, he hasn’t been away as much. Although they hadn’t been in touch for a long time, Xiao Qian knew where he was, so the probability of having nightmares because she missed or worried about him was not high. So, what on earth was she afraid of?

Xiao Qian could quickly help her clients find the root of their problems, but she often didn’t understand her own thoughts.

“Boss Qian, can you accompany me to try on wedding dresses during the day? My dad has ordered me a gown from abroad, and your bridesmaid dresses for you and Da Yi have arrived too. We both have time, but do you have enough free time?”

Xiao Qian nodded, “No problem, my shows are in the evening, so I can be with you during the day.”

Her schedule at school was quite flexible as it was neither a time for her classes nor group meetings.

“I’m a little nervous, Boss Qian. Am I really getting married?”

“You’ve been married for some time now, and you’re only thinking of pretending to be a young girl now?” Xiao Qian bluntly exposed her.

Shi Touyu shook her head, “No, I’m really nervous. These days, I’ve been preparing for the wedding and checking on the house renovations. All of a sudden, I have this feeling of uncertainty, am I really going to live with him for the rest of my life?”

Ending her student life and starting a family, Shi Touyu experienced the confusion, uneasiness, and a little anticipation that every girl would have when transitioning from one stage of life to another.

“It’s too late for regrets now. Legally, you’re already husband and wife. If you run away now, your next marriage will be a second marriage.”

Shi Touyu nervously asked Xiao Qian, “Boss Qian, do you think I might have pre-wedding jitters? Oh my god, do I have a psychological issue?”

When she heard Shi Touyu mention pre-wedding jitters, something seemed to quickly flash through Xiao Qian’s mind.

She sat up, thoughtfully looking at Shi Touyu.

Shi Touyu wrapped herself in the quilt, playfully raising her perfect fingers.

“Stop it! Why are you staring at me so passionately? What do you want to do to me, you naughty girl~”

“Stop joking— what did you just say?”

“I said you’re naughty!”

“Not that, you said… pre-wedding jitters?”

“Hey! Boss Qian, don’t scare me. Do I really have a psychological problem?” Shi Touyu saw Xiao Qian’s serious expression and sat up as well.

Xiao Qian shook her head.

“Not you… Women, when preparing to enter married life, will feel nervous to some extent because marriage concerns their whole life. Everyone reacts differently, and your reaction is considered normal.”

Shi Touyu patted her chest, “You scared me. I thought I really had a problem. Wait, Boss Qian, if I’m not the one with the issue, then who is?”

Xiao Qian rubbed her temples, “Go to sleep.”

She now knew why she had been having nightmares.

In her past life, Xiao Qian had run away after Yu Minglang prepared the wedding rings for them. She herself interpreted it as a manifestation of pre-wedding jitters, but in this life, she and Yu Minglang were genuinely in love, and he had always taken great care of her. How could she still feel such immense pressure?

Even now, Xiao Qian didn’t believe that her nightmares represented pre-wedding jitters, because Yu Minglang hadn’t proposed to her yet. Maybe it was because she was too busy with work recently and missed Xiao Qiang, so that’s why she was having these nightmares.

That damn Yu Xiaoqiang had been gone for so long. It was about time for him to return or at least make a phone call.

Xiao Qian decided that in tomorrow’s show, she would draw a husky falling on its back after slipping on a watermelon peel. This definitely wasn’t an expression of unhappiness. Definitely not!
