Lan Yibai looked at Cen Shuang’s face and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you sick?”

Cen Shuang shook her head. She only saw something that she should not have. “I’m fine. It’s just that the room feels pretty warm. I feel hot because I’ve been moving around.”

Lan Yibai’s gaze drifted to the bed and she immediately ran over. “Why did you cover him with the blanket?”

Cen Shuang watched as Lan Yibai pulled the blanket off Zhuang Hong’s head. Sure enough, in just a short while, the man’s face had turned a little red. She gripped the towel and stood still, embarrassed. She did not know what to do. She was only concerned about covering Zhuang Hong just now. Her hands had been too hasty and she had not thought it through.

Lan Yibai did not blame her, but looking at Zhuang Hong on the bed, her face was full of heartache, “Zhuang Hong is a person who likes to be clean. He doesn’t like to be touched by others. The people who take care of him have to be careful because he nitpicks.”

Her words made Cen Shuang realize that she was careless and did not take good care of him.

“There’s soup in the kitchen. You didn’t eat anything for dinner. Go and have some.”

The flush on Cen Shuang’s face faded. She took a glance at Zhuang Hong and left. It was better to give them some space.

In the room, Lan Yibai looked at Zhuang Hong who was sleeping soundly on the bed and sighed. She helped him put on his pajamas and carefully tucked him in. “I don’t know when you’ll wake up, so I had you get married to Cen Shuang. This way, she can take care of you. However, she doesn’t seem to know how to take care of others. I really don’t know if such a beautiful wife is good or bad. I’m just afraid that if you continue sleeping, you won’t be able to keep her. “I know you can hear me, but you just don’t want to wake up right now. If you want to rest, you can rest. I’ll take good care of Cen Shuang. After all, she’s a little girl. She’ll understand after a while.” Thinking of what happened two days ago, Lan Yibai couldn’t help but say, “Your cousin is acting up again. Cen Shuang’s face... Forget it. I know you like beautiful girls.”

Lan Yibai thought that Zhuang Hong would wake up and get angry with her, but he was so obedient that he stayed quiet. When he was born, he had been quiet too. When Cen Shuang returned to her room, Lan Yibai was just leaving. When she saw her, she said, “I heard that school is starting soon.”

“The day after tomorrow.”

Starting from the day after tomorrow, she would be a sophomore. Very soon, she would be able to join the work force and support herself. When she obtained the Cen family villa, she would have the ability to support herself. Would she still stay here? “It’s been quite hot lately. Let the chauffeur send you there.”

Cen Shuang wanted to refuse. She did not want the school to know about her situation, but she thought that Lan Yibai wanted her to come back and take care of Zhuang Hong, so she agreed. “Thank you, mom.”

Although she did not know how to take care of people, she could talk while lying next to him. She was keeping Zhuang Hong company. After Lan Yibai left, Cen Shuang lay on the bed and looked at the school forum. Many of her classmates had already returned to the school. She sighed before turning off her phone. Cen Shuang turned to look at Zhuang Hong who was lying quietly beside her. She could not help but lower her head and move her entire face closer to him.

Other than his face being a little pale, he was really good-looking. As a woman, Cen Shuang was ashamed to be inferior to him. How could he be so good-looking? She could not help but touch Zhuang Hong’s face. After touching him, she quickly pulled her hand back, feeling like a thief. She thought that he would not react, so she started to caress Zhuang Hong’s face wantonly. She rubbed his face, pinched his nose, and traced the lines of his lips. Such an obedient person was really hard to find.

“Did your mother say bad things about me just now?” Cen Shuang imitated her mother-in-law’s tone, “You’re not allowed to talk to her, and you’re also not allowed to speak up for her. Do you hear me? Hurry up and tell me, if your mother and I fall into the ocean, who will you save? If you dare to say you’ll save your mother, I’ll divorce you.”

Cen Shuang laughed out loud after she finished speaking. It was really interesting to play with someone who could not defend themselves. “I’m going to school tomorrow, so I can’t accompany you during the day. The maids are actually reading to you, right? If you’re bored, I’ll bring the television over and let that accompany you. Since you don’t talk much, the television won’t dislike you. However, your mother said that I can come back to accompany you at night. So, we can keep talking like this. Let’s be good friends.”

She was the one who talked and talked. The man beside her did not react. However, Cen Shuang felt that this was a good thing. Unknowingly, she had said a lot of things, and that did not matter. It was a quiet night. She did not have to care about offending anyone. The people around her would not interrupt her or quarrel with her. Cen Shuang had said that the Cen Corporation was bankrupt, and that she had been driven out of her home by the bank. She told him about how she had been bullied. As she spoke, she could not help but cry. As she cried, she cursed. She wiped her tears and snot all over Zhuang Hong’s expensive pajamas. In the end, she still felt angry, and reached out to pinch his arm twice.

“What do you think I should do in the future? Should I stay at the Zhuang family forever? Actually, there’s nothing wrong with staying with your family.”
