Chapter 72 He Zheng, My Boyfriend
He Zheng, my boyfriend
When Shen Yifan saw the scene in the bedroom, he was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he quickly walked towards Cheng Shuang.
"Have you taken a shower? Didn't you say you can't take a shower today? Why are you so disobedient and want to go to the hospital?"
He frowned and picked her up from the ground before teaching her a lesson.
Cheng Shuang was lifted up sideways and suddenly felt weightless and she subconsciously hugged his neck.
"I didn't take a shower. I just wanted to dry myself off."
She had just had another nightmare. She dreamed that a child kept following her, crying and asking her why she gave up on him when she could have saved him. Her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't utter a word.
Then, she watched the child fall and crawl towards her covered in blood. She wanted to go over and hug him, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead. Then the sky collapsed and the earth broke, and they fell into the abyss together.
She was awakened, sweating.
Her clothes were soaked and she felt really uncomfortable, so she wanted to wipe herself. After wiping herself, she realized that she had forgotten to bring clean clothes in.
Her mind has not been in good shape these past two days. She has a bad memory and is always distracted. She was even more distracted just now. She came out without a bath towel and forgot to wear slippers. Her feet were all wet and she slipped.
Cheng Shuang remembered that she was not wearing any clothes at the moment, so she loosened her arms around Shen Yifan's neck, naturally covering her chest.
"Put me down, I'm fine."
In fact, her whole body was in pain, especially her elbows. Fortunately, she held on to the door, so it was not too serious and she did not fall on her head.
Shen Yifan lowered his eyes to look at her, and seeing her protecting herself, he sneered, "What are you trying to stop? What haven't I seen? What haven't I touched?"
Seeing her pursed her lips and kept silent, Shen Yifan realized belatedly that what he said was a bit rude. He felt annoyed and changed the subject.
"Did you fall anywhere? If you are hurt, tell me immediately, otherwise if anything breaks, I will be scolded to death by your mother-in-law."
Thinking of how his mother scolded him on the phone tonight and ignored him when she saw him just now, Shen Yifan clicked his tongue.
"Cheng Shuang, you are really amazing. I am obviously their biological son, but now it seems like you are the biological one and I am like an outsider marrying into their family. I am speechless."
Hearing his last words "I'm speechless", Cheng Shuang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, just bear with it for a while, and everything will be fine after we get divorced."
She apologized softly. Shen Yifan was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and saw her pale face and protruding collarbone. He was speechless for a moment, and inexplicable complex emotions surged in his heart.
This marriage that bound him like shackles was calculated by her.
Seeing that she was in pain, he should have mocked her by saying "Cheng Shuang, you deserve it", but when the words came to his lips, he felt sad and his chest was blocked.
Maybe what he said just now was really harsh. She was a little at a loss. Her frail body huddled obediently and stiffly in his arms, not daring to move.
Only then did Shen Yifan realize that she was too thin, so light that she almost weighed nothing.
He became angry again. Although he was reluctant about this marriage, he never treated her badly. He handed over his monthly salary card, gave her gifts on her birthday, and even gave her bags and jewelry on her anniversary.
Although it was mostly perfunctory and to shut his mother up, he did give it. Apart from love, he gave everything he could.
Why is she still so thin? It's as if he has treated her unfairly.
Shen Yifan carried her directly into the bathroom, pulled a towel to put on the sink, and put her on it.
Cheng Shuang's body stiffened.
They had done it here before, in just this position. She thought he wanted it, so her face turned pale and she put her hands on his shoulders, her voice trembling.
"The doctor said we can't have sex right now. Can we wait a few days?"
Shen Yifan was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what she meant, his face turned dark.
Of course he knew that they couldn't have sex now, so he just carried her over and wiped her body. She had just been lying on the ground and there were water stains on her body, so she had to wipe them clean before going to bed.
Did she think he was a beast possessed by lust?
Shen Yifan sneered: "I'm just wiping your body, what are you thinking about?"
He tugged at the towel beside him, saying something insincerely, "Actually, I've long been tired of your body. I was just worried that you'd be lonely and unbearable, so I just wanted to satisfy you."
Cheng Shuang realized that she had misunderstood and lowered her head in embarrassment.
The restroom is connected to the bathroom and the space is large enough, but the atmosphere at the moment is depressing and suffocating.
For the next five minutes, Shen Yifan wiped her body with a towel, as if he wanted to finish early. His movements were fast and rough. Cheng Shuang felt pain from time to time, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
After wiping everything, Shen Yifan carried her back to the bedroom. Seeing that the sheets where she slept were wet, he paused.
Is this another nightmare?
When he was on night watch in the hospital, she would have nightmares in the middle of the night and would wake up covered in sweat. He would have to wipe her body in the middle of the night.
Shen Yifan took a look at the thin woman in his arms, who was so thin that she could be blown away by a gust of wind. He took a deep breath, put her on the sofa again, changed into a new four-piece suit, and then put her on the bed.
He went to the closet to get her a nightgown, put it on her casually, then tugged at the collar, turned back to the bathroom, and slammed the door.
He was silent the whole time, and it was obvious that he was holding his anger.
Cheng Shuang lay down, pulled the quilt over her, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
He took care of her only at his mother's command.
She knew that he hated this marriage, but she was forced into it. She knew that he didn't love her, and she didn't want to trap him with a marriage certificate. It was her mother-in-law who begged her to do so.
She was an orphan with a miserable fate. It was her mother-in-law who held her hand and saved her from desperate situation. It was her mother-in-law who gave her a second life. It was her mother-in-law who loved her for many years and gave her the courage to live.
If it weren't for this marriage, her mother-in-law would be her godmother and she wouldn't be so miserable.
It was her fault.
She shouldn't have cared about Shen Yifan back then.
If she hadn't helped him that night, if it hadn't been that absurd night, if it hadn't been that child who came and went in a hurry and had no fate with her, her mother-in-law wouldn't have forced Shen Yifan to marry her, wouldn't have forced him to take responsibility.
She mentioned divorce, but her mother-in-law asked her to give Shen Yifan another chance.
She had given for many years and she was too tired. The child's departure reminded her that they were wrong from the beginning and that continuing to torture each other would be a waste of each other's lives.
Besides, his first love is coming back.
That was his sweetheart, the one he had been thinking about for many years.
They will get divorced sooner or later.
Shen Yifan came out of the bathroom and saw Cheng Shuang sleeping with her back to him, her whole body pressed against the edge of the bed, almost about to fall off if she turned over.
He was feeling depressed, so he went to the study to smoke a cigarette, then came back and brushed his teeth before going to bed.
He lifted the quilt and lay down, then pulled her body over and held her in his arms.
Cheng Shuang didn't fall asleep, didn't open her eyes, and didn't struggle. He liked to hold her while sleeping. It had nothing to do with love, it was just a habit.
It's a bit ridiculous that a legal couple with a marriage certificate can be in the same bed but have different dreams in their most intimate posture.
…
Rongcheng, Rongshan.
Wen Ruan felt a little regretful about letting He Zheng come. This man was really troublesome.
She woke him up at three in the morning and asked him what was wrong. He replied confidently, "Watch the sunrise. It would be a shame not to go since we are already here."
Wen Ruan was so sleepy that she didn't want to go. However, he rubbed his face in her neck in a wronged manner, saying that he had never seen the sunrise in his life.
She didn't believe him at all, but she owed him.
The rain stopped last night and it was a sunny day today. They were also lucky enough to encounter a sea of clouds.
The sky stretches as far as the eye can see, the mountains appear and disappear from time to time, the sea of clouds rolls, sometimes like a mighty army, sometimes like a waterfall cascading down, with turbulent waves and a myriad of scenes.
Soon, white mist rose from the valley, and colorful clouds surged, forming a tapestry on the horizon, surrounding the rising sun. The red sun kissed the sea of clouds, which was magnificent and it was an extremely spectacular visual feast.
It's dawn.
A new day begins.
It was so shocking that exclamations and cheers gradually rang out around.
Wen Ruan didn't have time to be amazed, because the moment the sun rose, He Zheng hooked his arm around her waist and held her in his arms, bent down to kiss her, and with his other hand held a mobile phone, taking pictures of the two of them.
The background is a sea of clouds and sunrise.
Wen Ruan thought she could go back to sleep after watching the sunrise, but He Zheng dragged her to Yue Lao Temple again.
She was in a half-asleep state. She took the incense handed to her by He Zheng in a daze and followed him in worshiping. She responded to his words.
I don’t remember what we said, I just know that when I left, a red rope was tied around my wrist.
Wen Ruan looked at his own hands, then at his, "Aren't you going to wear the one your Bai Yueguang gave you? Or do you want to wear one on each hand?"
He Zheng had tried to explain Bai Yueguang to her last time, and his lips were worn out. However, she simply didn't remember giving it to him, so she assumed that he was trying to seduce her and was lying because he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable with Bai Yueguang.
He simply decided not to explain and wait until he figured out what went wrong.
"I've worn that one for too long. It's time to get a new one. Now that you're my woman, of course I have to wear the one you gave me."
Wen Ruan: "As long as you are happy."
After coming out of the Yue Lao Temple, Wen Ruan was too tired, so He Zheng carried her back to the B&B. As soon as she entered the door, she heard someone calling her.
"Wen Ruan?"
Following the sound, Wen Ruan saw Chen Shengyue. She came to her senses a little, patted He Zheng's shoulder, and asked him to put her down.
He Zheng had never met Chen Shengyue, but he could probably guess, "Lin Hao's wife?"
"Um."
He put Wen Ruan down and said in a low voice, "Lin Hao took a step back and said that as long as Chen Shengyue was willing to see him, he would come to Rongcheng."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Shengyue came over. Wen Ruan greeted her, "Sister Shengyue, you're here so early?"
"A friend I haven't seen in years brought his kids over to play. They arrived this morning, so I came to catch up."
As Chen Shengyue spoke, his eyes moved back and forth between Wen Ruan and He Zheng, his gaze occasionally sweeping across the red ropes around their wrists.
That was the marriage rope from Yue Lao Temple. Young couples who came to stay with her usually wore it on their wrists when they left. She had seen it so many times that she could recognize it at a glance.
Wen Ruan noticed her gaze, looked down at the red string, smiled and took He Zheng's arm, "He Zheng, my boyfriend."
He Zheng glanced at her. Even though it was fake, the title of "boyfriend" sounded really nice.
Wen Ruan introduced the two people to each other. After they said hello, Wen Ruan asked He Zheng to go back to his room first, and she followed Chen Shengyue to the tea room.
She had just told Chen Shengyue yesterday that Jiang Qingyan had cheated on her, so she brought her boyfriend here today. She saw the astonishment and indescribable look in Chen Shengyue's eyes.
So after entering the tea room, Wen Ruan briefly introduced that Minghe and Rongli were sworn enemies, and did not hide her resentment towards Jiang Qingyan.
"He Zheng is the boss of Minghe. In the entire Haicheng financial circle, he is the only one who is not afraid of Rongli. He likes me, and I want to take revenge on Rongli. We hit it off immediately."
It took Chen Shengyue a long time to come back to his senses.
"So Aiyue Technology was the first battle between you and Rongli. If you lose, your situation will be very embarrassing, right?"
Seeing her nod, Chen Shengyue was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "I can go back to Haicheng."
Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "No, I have other ways to get Lin Hao to sign the contract. Don't go back."
Chen Shengyue poured her some tea and said, "I rejected you yesterday because I felt that you just treated this as a job. Since it's a job, how you and Jiang Qingyan compete for it is your business."
She smiled gently.
"I'm now halfway through seeing through worldly affairs, so I don't actually agree with you spending your precious time on revenge. But I won't try to persuade you, because this is your own life, and you're responsible for it yourself."
"I chose to help you because you put everything on the line, and I don't want you to lose."
Wen Ruan frowned, still disagreeing, "But if you go back, it means you have forgiven Lin Hao."
"Forgiveness is reconciliation, not reconciliation, but..."
Chen Shengyue paused and said with a smile, "But I still have a condition. I hope you can persuade Lin Hao to agree to a divorce."
Getting Lin Hao to agree to a divorce? It's not that simple. If Lin Hao wanted to divorce, he would have done so long ago.
However, it is not completely impossible.
Wen Ruan drank the tea that Chen Shengyue handed over and said with a smile, "Okay, deal."
