I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 730: Let’s Sleep Together Tonight

Translator: Lordbluefire

Shen Ruojing did not go home and stayed in the hospital with Rong Rong.

Chu Cichen, however, had to go back, firstly to soothe the three little ones and secondly to help handle the aftermath of Dr. Xu’s passing.

Dr. Xu was a peripheral member of the Xu family. Moreover, his parents were abroad and their whereabouts were unknown. Because of this, they could only find distant relatives of the Xu family to help out.

Dr. Xu’s body was kept in the memorial hall. Everyone who came to pay their respects offered incense couldn’t help but sigh and then leave.

However, the body always needed to be dealt with.

The reason why Chu Cichen had not sent it to the crematorium was that he wanted to wait for Dr. Xu’s parents…

However, during the funeral, it was said that the body should not be kept for more than seven days. It was not because the body would decay after seven days, after all, there are special freezers for keeping bodies. Even if it was kept for a year, there would be no problem.

It was because the body always had to be dealt with according to Chinese customs.

On the day of the funeral, distant relatives of the Xu family and Chu Cichen personally sent the body to the crematorium.

Shen Ruojing arrived that day. She only looked at Dr. Xu’s body, did not say a word, and quietly retreated.

When the Xu family saw this, they understood what was going on. They waved their hands, and everyone lifted the coffin, placing Dr. Xu’s body on the hearse.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door.

Shen Ruojing, feeling puzzled, walked over and saw Rong Rong in white. She had stripped off a white mourning suit from someone nearby and draped it over herself.

Her face was as pale as paper, and in this outfit, she seemed even more solemn and pitiful.

Rong Rong spoke, “He has no relatives. The child in my stomach and I are his only relatives now. We should accompany him on his journey.”

Those who wanted to stop Rong Rong shut their mouths when they heard this.

Shen Ruojing originally wanted to persuade Rong Rong to go back to the hospital to rest, but when she looked at the insincere relatives of Dr. Xu, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

The deceased were to be respected.

But the living were the most important.

However, in this situation, she couldn’t bear to say anything, lest it hurt Rong Rong even more, making Dr. Xu even more desolate.

She only walked over to Rong Rong and helped support her by the arm.

As a friend, all she could do now was to try to maintain Rong Rong’s health.

A group of people sent the body to the crematorium.

Along the way, Rong Rong was very silent.

Only after the body was sent into the cremation chamber and the door was closed did Rong Rong suddenly break down in grief, whispering to the person inside the door, “Don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt…”

Tears flowed… After a while, Rong Rong’s legs gave up and she collapsed to the ground.

Shen Ruojing did not deal with the subsequent matters.

She only accompanied Rong Rong, got in the ambulance, and returned to the hospital.

Rong Rong’s physical condition was good, but her mental state was extremely poor.

Shen Ruojing understood her.

Having endured thirteen years of imprisonment, she was naturally more sensitive than the average person. Shen Ruojing herself could not always attend to her emotions, after all, Shen Ruojing had her own life and couldn’t always accompany her.

But Dr. Xu did.

Dr. Xu was her whole life, but just a moment ago, he completely disappeared from this world.

There was no longer such a person who could tirelessly say to her, “You’re not terrible. You have always been my goddess, in my heart, you’re the best person.”

There was no longer…

Dragging her tired steps, Shen Ruojing returned home.

She hadn’t returned home for a week straight. Even though Chu Cichen had sent her some clothes and toiletries, and there was a changing room at the hospital, Shen Ruojing still felt extremely exhausted.

In the bathroom of the Chu family’s bedroom, Shen Ruojing lay quietly in the bathtub.

A tub full of hot water seemed to wash away the sadness and fatigue of the past seven days.

Rong Rong, even in her dreams, still called out for Dr. Xu and occasionally laughed. But after she woke up, she would just stare blankly at the ceiling… Thinking of this, Shen Ruojing’s heart felt like it was blocked by a large stone.

She stared blankly ahead.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when suddenly she sank downwards, her head instantly submerged under water.

Bubbling…

Her exhaled breath bubbled up, but after a while, there were no more bubbles. Even so, she didn’t resurface.

One minute…

Two minutes…

“Bang!”

The bathroom door was suddenly kicked open. Chu Cichen strode in, anxiously grabbed Shen Ruojing’s shoulder, and pulled her up from the water.

Chu Cichen frowned and shouted, “Jingjing…”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Shen Ruojing slowly open her eyes. She seemed not to understand why Chu Cichen had come in. The moment she opened her eyes, she immediately covered her chest and then frowned at him. “What are you doing?”

Chu Cichen.”??”

His face flushed instantly, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

Shen Ruojing looked at him and then looked at him again, suddenly understanding something. She laughed. “You wouldn’t think that I was trying to commit suicide, would you?”

Chu Cichen.

It wouldn’t go that far.

After all, the one who died was Dr. Xu. She didn’t need to die for love.

Shen Ruojing slowly said, “I just wanted to clear my head.”

These days in the hospital, watching Rong Rong’s condition every day, she always felt a suffocating feeling in her chest.

So, having finally returned home, she wanted to hold her breath, to suppress her own state. Earlier, she had held her breath for two minutes, and it was simply too refreshing!

Shen Ruojing then took a deep breath and got up from the bathtub.

As Chu Cichen’s gaze was about to fall on her, Shen Ruojing casually picked up a towel from the side and wrapped herself in it, blocking his view.

However, Chu Cichen knew that she was feeling heavy in her heart, so he didn’t have any other thoughts. He just picked up a towel from the side and began to dry her hair.

Shen Ruojing didn’t refuse.

She sat quietly in front of the dressing table, allowing Chu Cichen to gently and meticulously dry her hair.

The white bathrobe contrasted with her slightly pink cheeks that had soaked for too long, making them look even more delicate and attractive. Shen Ruojing stared straight at herself in the mirror.

She sighed again.

“Don’t keep sighing.” After Chu Cichen had dried her hair, he looked around in the bathroom and found a bottle of hair oil. So, he applied it to the ends of her hair.

Shen Ruojing glanced at him. “How come you’re better at hair care than me?”

Chu Cichen smiled. “Because your hair is longer than mine, so I often think about how such hair should be cared for in order to keep it soft…”

Shen Ruojing was slightly startled.

Suddenly, she turned around and hugged Chu Cichen tightly. “Let’s sleep together tonight.”

Chu Cichen’s body stiffened..
