EndlessFantasy TranslationCen Shuang raised her head and stared at the huge hand that was holding hers. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “Zhuang Hong, did you hold my hand? It’s really you...” His huge hand was really gripping hers. Cen Shuang held his hand tightly and felt a slight twinge of pain. She reacted and quickly jumped off the bed, wanting to pull Zhuang Hong along. She craned her neck excitedly toward the door, “Mom, hurry and come to Zhuang Hong’s room! He moved!”
After the Boyan examination, her face was filled with joy. “Zhuang Hong’s brain has a reaction. He should wake up soon.”
This information was more important to Lan Yibai than anything else. Cen Shuang looked at Zhuang Hong who was still lying in bed. Soon, they would meet. Lan Yibai was happy that Zhuang Hong was doing well. Cen Shuang sat by the bed every day to vent her dissatisfaction. She treated him like a trash can for her negative feelings. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the charity banquet. Cen Shuang was representing Lan Yibai for the first time. Therefore, she dressed very meticulously. Squatting by the bed, Cen Shuang cupped her delicate little face and bent over to kiss Zhuang Hong’s forehead. She allowed the lipstick to leave a lipstick mark on his head. “Zhuang Hong, I’m leaving.”
As the door closed, in the quiet room, the eyelashes of the man lying on the bed trembled.
The charity banquet was held in a large villa on the outskirts of Lin City. The entire villa seemed like a setting for a western-style romance. There were countless people standing by the open-air swimming pool outside the courtyard. Cen Shuang arrived at the banquet wearing an evening gown. The hem of her dress was light purple. She wore a pair of crystal high heels and she looked extremely tempting.
Zhuang Tinghao, who was not far away, felt a jolt go through him, followed by a wave of comfort. Cen Shuang’s appearance made all the women at the banquet pale in comparison. It was as if there was only one bright and beautiful figure clad in light purple. Zhuang Tinghao came over with a wine glass. He chased away all the men surrounding Cen Shuang and his gaze fell unscrupulously on Cen Shuang. This was not the Zhuang family’s house and he did not have to be afraid of Old Master Zhuang and Lan Yibai. However, when he thought of Cen Shuang’s martial arts skills, his heart skipped a beat. He did not dare to agitate her anymore.
He handed her the glass of red wine, and said seriously, “There will be a charity auction in a while. Follow me and don’t wander around.”
Cen Shuang did not expect that the person whom Lan Yibai said would receive her was Zhuang Tinghao. Seeing the fear on his face, she realized that he had probably learned his lesson already, after the last two times. In a place like this, no matter how arrogant Zhuang Tinghao was, he should at least care about the Zhuang family’s reputation and not go overboard.
Cen Shuang hesitated for a moment. Then she frowned and took the wine glass from him. However, she avoided Zhuang Tinghao’s arm and walked forward alone. “Cen Shuang, what are you doing? So many people are deliberately not showing me respect.”
Zhuang Tinghao was very concerned that Cen Shuang did not want to hold his arm. Cen Shuang chatted with a few people who were walking towards her before turning around. “How much pride do you have?”
Zhuang Tinghao was offended. “Do you want the Zhuang family and aunt to be embarrassed in a place like this? She has handed the business over to you. There will be no shortage of social gatherings like this in the future.”
Cen Shuang stopped in her tracks and looked back with a smile. “You know, you have to pay attention to how you act in a place like this. People know that I’m your sister-in-law, and that I’m younger than you. Zhuang Hong is currently unable to recover from his illness. Men and women are different and there are certain boundaries between us. It’s better for us to maintain a distance.”
Zhuang Tinghao’s soul was sucked in by Cen Shuang’s gaze. When he saw the figure clad in light purple start to walk away, he gritted his teeth unwillingly. ‘You wretched girl, you’ll know what a difference between a man and a woman is in a moment.’ Tonight, he had to get his hands on this woman.
Cen Shuang walked around the venue, and her wine glass had been refilled several times now. In the past, she did not need to socialize like this. Now that the Zhuang family had given her the opportunity, she should learn about these boring social interactions and revitalize the Cen family. She would only have to socialize more in the future. Cen Shuang, who had a low tolerance for alcohol, felt uncomfortable. She walked to a quiet corner, feeling tired. She felt like she was walking on clouds. Her feet just would not go where she wanted them to. She did not expect the effects of the alcohol to be so strong. Her body fell to the side, and a pair of large hands embraced her and pulled her in for a hug. This strange feeling made Cen Shuang raise her head. When she saw Zhuang Tinghao’s malicious smile, she thought to herself, ‘Not good!’
“I’ve been following you for so long, the medicine should be working soon.”
This b*stard, Zhuang Tinghao?actually dared... Cen Shuang could not believe it. Zhuang Tinghao completely disregarded the Zhuang family’s reputation even in an event like this. Zhuang Tinghao had been planning this for a long time. He held Cen Shuang’s hand and held her waist tightly, pressing her into his embrace. He sighed internally, and his thoughts were actually somewhat uncontrollably buoyant. This woman was indeed deadly. Just casually approaching her made his heart beat uncontrollably. The light in his eyes became more and more unbridled. He wanted nothing more than to take the woman in his arms right now.
“For you, everything I’ve spent is worth it. Tonight, I’ll let you know how much better I am than Zhuang Hong.”
