Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Thank you, mom.” Cen Shuang picked up a bun and took a bite. “It’s so delicious.”
“Don’t worry, there’s more in the kitchen.” Lan Yibai looked at Cen Shuang’s red eyes and the reproached herself. She handed the bun to Cen Shuang. She felt sorry for this child. She had been impulsive. Why had she treated her like that? Moreover, she clearly knew that Cen Shuang had a kind heart. She should not have been worried about what she had chosen in the first place.

“I can’t eat anymore. You should eat some too.”
“These are meat buns. They’ll take some time to digest. If you like them, have some more.”
Cen Shuang was like a little pig. She ate until she was absolutely full. In the end, she was so full that she collapsed on the bed and could not sit up. She turned to look at the man who had no appetite. “It’s not easy to be your wife, Zhuang Hong. In order to please your mother, I ate twenty little buns just now and my clothes are bursting at the seams. If this continues, I will become a little pig.”
After saying that, she pinched Zhuang Hong’s face evilly. Afraid that she would leave behind evidence, she started to pound on his chest again. Perhaps it was because she had moved too much, but Zhuang Hong, who had always been quiet, actually let out a muffled groan. It was so weak that no one could hear him clearly. However, Cen Shuang was right next to him. She could hear him clearly. Zhuang Hong had spoken!

“Zhuang Hong, did you say something? Is there something wrong with my ears?” Afraid that there was something wrong with her ears, she moved her face closer to Zhuang Hong’s mouth. “If you groan again, I’ll hear you. Groan again.”
She sounded like she was teasing a dog. The man beneath her did not pay any attention to her. He maintained his aloof demeanor. Cen Shuang stared at Zhuang Hong beneath her. After making sure that his breathing was stable, she sat up, stretched out her hand and shook him. “Zhuang Hong, your wife ran away with someone.”
The man on the bed did not respond. Did she make a mistake? Cen Shuang seemed to have made a difficult decision. She raised her fist and brought it down on the man’s stomach.
“Oh!” With a muffled groan, the man on the bed finally spoke.
Cen Shuang told Boyan about this. She waited uneasily for the moment when the man on the bed would wake up. Cen Shuang waited nervously for Boyan to come over and paced around the room nervously.
“How is he? is he going to wake up?”
Boyan took a look at the bruises on Zhuang Hong’s body. “I did ask you to provoke him, but I didn’t say anything about domestic violence, right? He’s still alive. If he hits you so hard, you’ll make a sound too.”
This was her fault! “Then you have to be able to beat me.”
Although she was young, she had been practicing martial arts for more than ten years. She could feel the acupoints of the human body even with her eyes closed. For example, when she broke someone’s arm, she only pressed on a point. Although she had hit Zhuang Hong hard, she knew what to do. At most, it would only hurt a little.

Boyan found it strange. When Lan Yibai found Zhuang Hong a woman, how come she did not know that Cen Shuang knew martial arts? Wasn’t she afraid that Cen Shuang would kill him for money? “Take care of yourself. Massage his acupoints like I told you to every day. As for stimulating him… you can do whatever you want.”
Did he not care anymore? She could abuse Zhuang Hong at any time, but when Boyan said that, she could not do it. After all, he was still a patient. “When will he wake up?”

Cen Shuang asked the same question that Lan Yibai asked every day. Boyan gave her a formulaic answer. “Soon.”
Boyan packed up his things and was about to leave when he came up to Cen Shuang. “You’re too honest. I’ll let you provoke Zhuang Hong. You don’t have to hit him everywhere. It’s too obvious that way.”
Now that Zhuang Hong had woken up and knew that this was his idea, he would definitely not forgive him. Boyan had already started to prepare his own life-saving measures before Zhuang Hong woke up.
“I’ll say that you were the one who asked me to hit him.”
Boyan was stunned. He made a gesture of cupping his hands and said in admiration. “Goodbye.”
Cen Shuang looked at Boyan’s departing figure and lay on the bed proudly. She hugged Zhuang Hong and smacked him. “Isn’t your wife awesome?”

She looked at the lipstick marks on the man’s face. This time, Zhuang Hong did not stay calm. Instead, he finally frowned.
“Zhuang Hong, you reacted!” Cen Shuang was shocked. He had just woken up from a vegetative state. She felt rejuvenated too. She could not help but admire her own medical skills.
The man on the bed just moved then went back to normal. Cen Shuang stared at him for a long time. Her heart was beating fast as she gazed at him. The man on the bed still did not look like he was going to open his eyes. She sighed. Cen Shuang rested her head on Zhuang Hong’s shoulder.
“Zhuang Hong, will I not be able to hold you like this when you wake up? I won’t be able to chat with you like this. Mother said that you are a very serious person, so you definitely don’t like to talk, and you won’t be lying in bed obediently. You have been laying in bed for so long. I’m sure you want to look around.”
