Kapitel 4: Marrying into the Zhuang Family
Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation
To be precise, the Zhuang family did not prepare a wedding. The bride was poor and the groom was a vegetable from an aristocratic family. This combination would probably make them the best couple of the year. The Zhuang family did not want to be embarrassed. Therefore, there was no wedding, no wedding car, and she did not even have a wedding dress. She was brought into the Zhuang family just like that. In the span of a day, she had become someone else. If she had known that it would be like this, she would have just moved in yesterday.
Cen Shuang walked along the gravel road all the way into the villa. What did her new identity give her? Well, now someone was tasked to carry her luggage and they brought it straight up the stairs to her room. She did not even have the chance to escape.
"The bride is here."
Childlike cheerful laughter could be heard from the other room. Cen Shuang looked to the living room but someone blocked her. "The clothes are upstairs. Miss Cen, you should freshen up."
After he said that, Cen Shuang remembered that she did not manage to shower at the school. She nodded shyly and followed a servant to the room upstairs.
"The young master's room is here, miss." The servant stopped at the door.
Cen Shuang looked at the half-closed door and carefully pushed it open. Crystal lights lit up the quiet room. The entire room was mainly black, white, and gray. There was evidence of a man's life everywhere. With just a glance, she knew that the man lying on the bed was her husband, Zhuang Hong.
Cen Shuang walked inside with noticeable hesitation. The closer she got to the man on the bed, the clearer she saw him. He still looked extremely handsome even though he was sick. The pallor of his face made his lips seem rosy. Other than the fact that he was a little thin, it was clear that the Zhuang family took good care of him. The man was just lying there, and his breathing was so weak that no one could feel it. If it were not for the fact that Zhuang Hong was still alive, she would definitely have been frightened. She might have even screamed.
Walking to the side of the bed, Cen Shuang quietly sized up the man for a few seconds. After confirming that he really could not get up, she let out a sigh of relief. On the shelf by the bed, there was a red dress. She was the bride.
As she looked at the brightly colored wedding dress in front of her, the corners of her lips curled up. Marrying into the Zhuang family and marrying Zhuang Hong did not seem like a bad deal. At the very least, she could feel the Zhuang family's care and respect for her. Cen Shuang took the clothes and meant to head to the bathroom. Then, she looked at the man on the bed. She stopped in her tracks, bent down, and carefully reached under the blanket. She pinched his thigh. As expected, the man on the bed did not move at all. He really was a vegetable as he did not react to anything.
No reaction was the best reaction for Cen Shuang. She heaved a sigh of relief and immediately stripped off her clothes.
The entire Zhuang family was gathered in the family hall. They were waiting for the person who had brought them together today.
"Congratulations to you, sister-in-law for getting a daughter-in-law who will dote on you in the future. I wonder when our Tinghao will be able to let me breathe a sigh of relief." Cai Yan held Lan Yibai's hand and smiled very happily, as if she was the one who was getting a daughter-in-law.
Zhuang Tinghao's expression was mocking. "Mother, don't tell me that you're hoping I'll share the same fate as Zhuang Hong and be stuck in bed!"
Everyone froze. Lan Yibai pulled her hand out of Liu Yan's grasp. Zhuang Tinghao said reluctantly, "Congratulations, aunt. I hope that he and sister-in-law will have a child soon."
The living room was silent again. This time, it was filled with Lan Yibai's anger. Everyone knew that Zhuang Hong would not wake up. He would not have a child anytime soon. Was he mocking them? Before anyone could open their mouths, they heard sounds coming from upstairs. Cen Shuang slowly followed Old Master Zhuang down the stairs.
Her hands were placed in front of her and her back was straight. Every step she took was extremely poised. However, she looked like a fairy from heaven who had descended. The bright red dress she wore made her features even more beautiful. The entire living room was silent, it was as if there were only two sets of footsteps at this moment.
Zhuang Tinghao's gaze fell on Cen Shuang.
He could not leave. His breathing stopped. He felt as if the woman in front of him had stolen his soul. His heart stopped beating.
"Her name is Cen Shuang. She is Zhuang Hong's wife." Lan Yibai held her hand affectionately and graciously introduced her.
Cen Shuang followed Lan Yibai as she introduced her to everyone. Zhuang Tinghao grabbed her hand when she arrived in front of him.
"The bride and my sister-in-law is Cen Shuang of the Cen family, the number one socialite in Lin City? As expected, she lives up to her reputation."
Cen Shuang took her hand back and hid it behind her back. Following Lan Yibai's prompt, she called him, 'Tinghao'.
Hearing this almost melted Zhuang Tinghao's heart. If it were not for Liu Yan pulling him along, he would have pounced on them. Everyone said that the Cen family's daughters were beautiful. He did not expect Cen Shuang to be so beautiful that it could kill him.
Lan Yibai's expression was fierce as she shielded Cen Shuang. "I'm afraid that my nephew is already drooling. He must be hungry."
Zhuang Tinghao quickly wiped the corner of his mouth. He was really drooling. He was not hungry either.
Cen Shuang did not get to eat much during the event. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she returned to her room. Her back was actually wet.
