EndlessFantasy TranslationThat night, after Cen Shuang took a shower, she saw Lan Yibai wiping Zhuang Hong’s hands and feet. She quickly took the towel and said, “Mom, let me do all this from now on.”
Lan Yibai did not refuse. As she watched Cen Shuang skillfully wipe Zhuang Hong, a smile appeared on her face, “It’s been half a year. He has been lying like this the entire time. I thought that I wouldn’t be able to see him wake up. Cen Shuang, thank you. Your arrival caused him to have a response.”
Cen Shuang felt guilty when she heard Lan Yibai express gratitude. She had thrown tantrums near Zhuang Hong, causing him to hit his head twice. When he woke up, he might not remember anything. In the movies, if someone bumped their head often, it might cause amnesia. She really hoped that Zhuang Hong suffer the same fate. “Mom, I want to discuss something with you.”
Cen Shuang started to work hard, not daring to look at Lan Yibai, “I don’t want Mr. Zhang to send me to school everyday. Would that be all right? I will definitely return home on time in the future. I won’t put off taking care of Zhuang Hong. It’s just that... being chauffeured isn’t really working out for me. Actually, I can...”
Before Cen Shuang could finish her sentence, Lan Yibai interrupted, “It’s my fault for not thinking things through. No one else knows about you and Zhuang Hong. They only know about the Cen family’s recent troubles. Did someone at school say something about you?” Lan Yibai was so considerate. Cen Shuang praised her mother-in-law internally, and nodded vigorously.
“Alright, the driver won’t drop you off tomorrow. However, it’s not easy to hail a taxi here and the bus stop is far away. It’s definitely not convenient for a girl like you. It’s not good to be late either. What if I have someone choose a car from the garage for you, and you drive yourself?”
Her mother-in-law was like a worm in her stomach. She even knew what she was thinking. She was simply too good.
Lan Yibai saw that Cen Shuang had not responded, so another thought popped into her mind. “Do you not have a driver’s license? That would be difficult.” If she could not drive herself, she could only have someone drop her off at a nearby bus stop.
“Yes, I can drive myself. Thank you, mom,” Cen Shuang said with a nod of respect.
“Child, if this was what you wanted from the beginning, you should have told me.” Although she had assigned a driver to Cen Shuang, she mainly wanted to prevent Cen Shuang from getting into situations a young girl like her would have trouble resolving. The driver could protect her, so she felt reassured. However, since she did not like it, Lan Yibai did not force the matter. Seeing that Lan Yibai had really gotten someone to choose a car for her from the garage, the smile on Cen Shuang’s face became even wider.
“Your mother is really nice. However, I have decided that she will be my mother in the future. Nice, isn’t it?” Lan Yibai had successfully given her a car. Cen Shuang began to show off to Zhuang Hong. She sat on the bed and spoke to Zhuang Hong for a while, “You don’t know how miserable being married to you is making me. In school, everyone said that I was a rich man’s sugar baby... Alright, you’re considered a rich man, and I’m also your legal wife. How could they say such harsh words about me being a sugar baby? You’re a husband who doesn’t care about me, so I can only take care of your mother. To be honest, your family is great. Other than that disgusting cousin of yours, grandfather and mother are pretty good to me.” Cen Shuang wiped Zhuang Hong’s torso. Cen Shuang could not help but laugh when she thought of the good days she would be spending as a widow.
“Can you really hear what I’m saying?” Cen Shuang moved her face closer to Zhuang Hong to take a closer look. Looking at his handsome features, it was obvious that none of the boys in school were as good-looking as Zhuang Hong. Even though he was sick and his face was a little pale, Cen Shuang sized him up carefully. Indeed, he did not even twitch. He did not react at all. When her gaze landed on his lips, she could not help but blush.
“Actually, you’re quite good-looking. You can’t hear what I’m saying, right?” She was lying on the pillow beside Zhuang Hong. Cen Shuang moved closer to him. The light from the crystal lamp made the man’s side profile exceptionally clear. She seemed magically drawn to his dry lips.
“Zhuang Hong, do you think we’re husband and wife?” On one hand, they had a marriage certificate. On the other hand, they did not share the intimacy of an ordinary couple. When Cen Shuang married him, she was glad that Zhuang Hong was a vegetable who could not do anything. However, before this, she had harbored hope of finding love. However, her hopes had long evaporated with the bankruptcy of the Cen Corporation.
“Zhuang Hong, can I kiss you?” Cen Shuang said, flushing. She felt very embarrassed. Fortunately, the vegetable beside her did not react. Cen Shuang became bolder again. “Let me kiss you. Just ignore it and keep sleeping soundly, okay?”
In the quiet room, the lights made the room seem warm. Cen Shuang kissed him and quickly turned around, as if she was afraid that he would see her flushed cheeks. “We agreed that you won’t remember any of this when you wake up.”
Cen Shuang’s voice echoed in the room. There was a little bit of bravado left in it. Even though she knew that he could not do anything to her, and although he could not see her face, she was still blushing. “Cen Shuang, are you crazy? This is your first kiss.”
