Master Hong's Lucky Bride

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Even though it took him a month to become stable, Zhuang Hong had become a vegetable. The power of the Zhuang family had returned to the hands of the old master. However, the old master was getting old. He could not control the business empire that Zhuang Hong had created, so he could only give

up his power. The Zhuang family’s second son had become the only pillar of support for the old man.

Everyone knew that the Zhuang family’s second son, Zhuang Yeliang, was merely the old master’s illegitimate child. It was already fortunate enough that the illegitimate child could be allowed back into the Zhuang family, but now, the entire Zhuang family wanted to throw away the olive branch just like

that.

While people sighed about the situation, they still did not forget to flatter Zhuang Yeliang and his son.

And Cen Shuang marrying Zhuang Hong had become the biggest joke in the entire Lin City. The former number one socialite had actually fallen to the point of marrying a vegetable to protect herself. Cen Shuang was not afraid of those people’s mocking gazes. She followed Lan Yibai. She shrugged f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

through the crowd until someone bumped into her. Red wine from a glass spilled onto her body. Cen Shuang frowned as she looked at her stained dress.

If these people were to make things difficult for her now, she would make them pay once Zhuang Hong took over the Zhuang family’s business again.

Although Lan Yibai was a little resentful of her because of the incident that day, she was still the gentle wife of a wealthy family in front of everyone else. “Go back upstairs and change. Don’t catch a cold.”

Cen Shuang let go of her hand and walked towards the east courtyard. There was a figure in the crowd that quickly followed her.

Cen Shuang walked along a small path towards the east courtyard. There was a little greenhouse between the two buildings. Cen Shuang liked to read here. Lan Yibai had even arranged to put a crystal bookshelf for her here. At this moment, the lights of the greenhouse were all on. For Zhuang Xinyan’s

banquet, the Zhuang family had decorated the entire courtyard. Although this place was beautifully built, it was far from the old residence. No one was willing to come this way.

Cen Shuang did not even take two steps before a hand grabbed her shoulder. She subconsciously grabbed that person’s wrist and turned around to swing her fist at them.

Yang Jinyan’s deep voice rang out. “It’s me, Cen Shuang.”

Cen Shuang reacted and eased up. However, Yang Jinyan grabbed her wrist and quickly brought her into the greenhouse.

Cen Shuang subconsciously shook him off. She heard him say helplessly in a low voice, “Don’t make a sound. Someone is following you. They are not from the Zhuang family.”

Cen Shuang raised her head and saw Xiao Nan running out from among the flowers.

Xiao Nan stood outside the greenhouse and looked at the brightly lit house in the east courtyard not far away. He seemed to be hesitating. “Where is she? I clearly saw her walking this way.”

He was not familiar with the Zhuang family’s residence. He was afraid that running around would cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Most importantly, he could not afford to offend the Zhuang family.

Just as he was hesitating, a rustling sound came from behind him. When Zhuang Tinghao saw Xiao Nan, he was also surprised. “Why are you here, Young Master Xiao?”

Xiao Nan felt guilty. In addition, Zhuang Tinghao’s position in the Zhuang family was becoming more and more important, so the Xiao family fawned over him. Naturally, he was quick to treat him well. “I saw that the flowers here were beautiful, so I came over to take a look. I didn’t expect the Zhuang

family to build it so well. I walked all the way here and was so taken with it that I didn’t want to leave.”

A meaningful smile appeared on Zhuang Tinghao’s face. He glanced at the balcony not far away and said somewhat absentmindedly, “Indeed, the flowers here are the most beautiful.”

Cen Shuang, who was in the greenhouse, could not help but frown. The look that Zhuang Tinghao gave her just now made her feel disgusted. The two of them were flattering themselves. After a long while, they left the greenhouse. Cen Shuang kept watching for a while. The moment the two of them left,

Cen Shuang pushed Yang Jinyan aside, and hurriedly left the greenhouse.

Yang Jinyan followed her. “You’ve been avoiding me these past few days. You even asked your assistant to deliver the designs you made. Why are you doing this?”

Cen Shuang turned her back. She did not want to see Yang Jinyan’s expression. She only felt that he was creating ripples in her otherwise calm heart.

Cen Shuang replied, “What we have is only a professional relationship.”

Yang Jinyan said in a deep voice, “Don’t you feel guilty for deliberately avoiding me? If it’s really just about work, why didn’t you tell me about your designs personally? There’s more between us besides work, isn’t there?”

Before Cen Shuang denied it, Yang Jinyan continued, “Other than work, we still have our history. We went to the same primary school and were apprenticed to a martial arts master together. I even taught you about the acupuncture points on the human body. You said that what we have is just a

professional relationship. Shuang Shuang, you’re being too harsh.”

The more she denied these things, the deeper their relationship was. Yang Jinyan even wanted to ask what would have happened between them if she had come to him sooner. In the past, he had treated her as his younger sister, but later on, he could not even tell what Cen Shuang was to him. He only

knew that Cen Shuang was still too young, so young that he did not know how to make Cen Shuang accept his feelings..
