Chapter 50: Jealousy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Cen Shuang was stunned. It took her a while to realize what she had just said. She thought Zhuang Hong was kissing her, and she thought it was a dream. But why didn’t she resist? Moreover, it was too embarrassing to be seen by two men!
Cen Shuang blushed and hugged the little puppy next to her. She buried her face under the pillow. How embarrassing!
Boyan held back his laughter and looked at Zhuang Hong. “Your wife is really interesting. She can actually have that kind of dream while sleeping with you. It can’t be that you…”
Boyan received a glare from Zhuang Hong and quickly said, “I know you can do it. You’re the best.”
Cen Shuang buried herself in the pillow, but she could still hear the men’s conversation. She was even more annoyed and ashamed. She had never thought about this. She was just having a dream. The dog had influenced her dream.
Boyan stifled his laughter and said, “I’ve looked at your wound. Zhuang Hong has treated it very well. As long as you obediently apply the medicine, I guarantee that you’ll be fine in a week. It won’t leave any scars. You don’t have to worry that Zhuang Hong won’t like
Zhuang Hong’s voice interrupted him coldly. “Put down the medicine. You can leave now.”
Boyan glanced at the person on the bed. He felt Zhuang Hong’s gaze on him and said, “Don’t worry. She’s your wife. I won’t snatch her from you.”
“You won’t even let me look at her. Mr. Zhuang, you’re too jealous.’
Boyan took his things and bumped into Lan Yibai who rushed over when he was leaving. “Aunt, don’t worry. Cousin-in-law is fine. It’s just a fever. She’ll be fine after a few days of resting.”
Boyan’s voice was not loud, but it was enough for the people in the room to hear. The way he called her ‘cousin-in-law’ made her even more embarrassed. When Cen Shuang raised her head, Zhuang Hong had already returned to the bed to sleep. He probably considered acting as a vegetable as a
profession, and his acting skills were so good.
After Cen Shuang finished muttering to herself, Lan Yibai rushed in. She looked at her and said with heartache, “Your body is so weak, you should take good care of yourself.”
Cen Shuang replied, “Mom, I’m fine. I just have a little cold. The rain yesterday was too heavy.”
Lan Yibai saw that other than her flushed face, she was much better. She also heaved a sigh of relief. Boyan had come over, so she had nothing to worry about. “When you’re sick, you need to rest more. I’ll just come up to take care of Zhuang Hong for the next few days.”
Cen Shuang heard that and said excitedly, “Then can I move out? I mean, I want to move into the guest room.” As soon as she said that, a hand grabbed her thigh from under the blanket. She felt a dull pain and almost cried out.
Lan Yibai frowned and subconsciously glanced at Zhuang Hong who was lying in bed. She wondered if Cen Shuang was unwilling to sleep next to a vegetable for the long term. A normal person would not be willing to, not to mention that Cen Shuang was a young lady. Although Lan Yibai felt
uncomfortable, she did not let it show on her face.
Cen Shuang pretended to look pitiful. “Mom, don’t misunderstand me. I’m not looking down on Zhuang Hong. I’m just afraid that I’ll infect him with my cold. If he catches a cold from me in this state, his body will not be able to take it.”
Even though the blood circulation in her thigh was about to be cut off, her expression did not change. In order to prevent this morning’s embarrassing incident from ever happening again, Cen Shuang felt that she had to put some distance between herself and Zhuang Hong, She must have developed a
desire for Zhuang Hong after staying with him for such a long time. It was simply too scary. She was a proper lady.
After listening to Cen Shuang’s explanation, Lan Yibai heaved a sigh of relief. She kept that relief to herself and it did not show on her face either. “You’re very considerate. I’m not as good as you to Zhuang Hong. You can move into the small room next door for the next few days. It’s connected to the
balcony here. It’s very convenient.”
That was what she said, but she meant that even though she was sick, she still had to accompany Zhuang Hong. Cen Shuang now deeply understood that Lan Yibai was trying very hard to make her have feelings for Zhuang Hong.
Cen Shuang said, “Okay, I will move back when I am better.” After saying that, she silently said in her heart that she would probably never be better.
Lan Yibai smiled lovingly. “If you are sick, you should rest more. I will give Zhuang Hong a body scrub today.”
‘When the words ‘body scrub’ was uttered, his grip on her thigh suddenly became even tighter. Cen Shuang was in so much pain that she almost jumped out of bed. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, “No need, Mom. No need. Let me do it. Zhuang Hong is my husband. I want to personally take care of
him.”

Her words were sincere, and even she herself was touched.
Lan Yibai’s heart softened, and she stopped what she was doing, She looked at Cen Shuang with slightly red eyes and said, “Zhuang Hong is lucky to have married you. It’s been hard on you these few days. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t force yourself. If you’re too exhausted, Zhuang Hong will definitely
blame me when he wakes up..”
