Cen Shuang was so upset that she tossed and turned. What should she do? Her heart was beating so fast and it would not stop. How could a vegetable elicit such a response from her? ‘Cen Shuang, you must be crazy. That’s why you think you can have a relationship with the person you married.’ All the things she should be experiencing with a boyfriend, could only be done with the man beside her. However, Zhuang Hong was in a vegetative state and could not move at all. How could she have such thoughts? It must be because she had been so happy when Lan Yibai said she would let her use a car. She had been so happy that she got confused. “You’re so annoying.”
Cen Shuang stuck her head out from under the blanket and sized up the man. His eyes did not even twitch. He did not react at all. Cen Shuang looked at him for a while and suddenly let out a sigh of relief. She touched her lips and felt a little bored. “Was this your first kiss?”
Cen Shuang frowned at her own question. After asking it, she furrowed her brows and said fiercely, “You’re already thirty years old, it’s definitely not your first kiss. At your age, you must have kissed a number of women already. Give me back my first kiss.”
Cen Shuang thought about how she had suffered such a loss so hastily and felt uncomfortable. When she thought about how many women Zhuang Hong had been with, she felt even angrier. “Are your ex-girlfriends as beautiful as me and as fit as me?” She should have known that the man beside her would not respond, but women were like that sometimes. The more she could not get an answer, the more she cared. The more she cared, the more wounded she felt.
That was her first kiss, and it was not his. She thought about the man beside her and wondered how many women had gotten their hands on him. In a fit of anger, Cen Shuang kicked him hard. With a thud, he rolled onto the ground along with the blanket. Zhuang Hong lay on the ground in the middle of the night. Cen Shuang dragged him back to bed reluctantly when it was almost dawn. Even if she lost her first kiss, she had to treat him well for the sake of the car Lan Yibai had promised her. After all, she had offended her mother-in-law, so she might not have allowance anymore. However, she was the one who could not resist and she had made the first move…
When she saw Lan Yibai the next day, Cen Shuang was gently changing Zhuang Hong’s clothes. She even blushed in front of Zhuang Hong and said quietly, “Zhuang Hong, you have to wake up quickly. Mother and I are waiting for you.”
As soon as Cen Shuang finished speaking, Lan Yibai’s eyes turned red. Her daughter-in-law was really good.
“Mother, I have already changed his clothes. You can talk to him for a while.”Cen Shuang raised her head and smiled gently. Lan Yibai’s heart softened and she handed over the car keys, “The car is downstairs. I have asked someone to drive it out. See if it suits you. If you don’t like it, we’ll pick a different one for you.”
“Thank you, mom.” Cen Shuang took the keys obediently and grabbed her clothes and coat. “I’ll head to school first. I’ll tell Zhuang Hong all about school tonight.”
Lan Yibai nodded in relief. She had not been wrong about Cen Shuang. Although she had a troublesome personality and had a mischievous temper, she was still kind-hearted. She took care of Zhuang Hong so meticulously although she did not like him. Lan Yibai acknowledged Cen Shuang’s kindness.
She took the keys and went downstairs. Cen Shuang saw the red Maserati parked downstairs and her eyes instantly lit up. Her mother-in-law was really a good mother-in-law. She had given her a Maserati just like that. Mr. Zhang saw her coming over. “Young madam, the car has been driven out for you. Madam said that you should familiarize yourself with it first.”
Cen Shuang nodded. Even when the Cen family was still powerful, her father had not been willing to buy such an expensive car for her. The Zhuang family was indeed better than the Cen family. “Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Thank you for your trouble.”
Cen Shuang smiled and placed her things on the passenger seat. She walked straight to the driver’s seat. The moment she touched the steering wheel, Cen Shuang felt a surge of excitement. She had always wanted to own a car of her own. Finally, her wish came true. She stepped on the accelerator. As the engine roared to life, the beautiful car brought her out of the Zhuang family’s compound within an instant.
Mr. Zhang’s face was sprayed with car exhaust. He smiled and said, “Young madam is really fierce. This car is very fast.”
Cen Shuang drove a Maserati to Jiang University, and parked near the school cafeteria. It instantly became the university’s main source of gossip.
“A rich young lady. She’s really willing to debase herself.”
“Cen Shuang is the school beauty. How could she…?”
“How could she not? It’s true that she’s the school beauty, but her family has fallen. The Cen family has gone bankrupt. Even their family’s villa has been seized by the bank. If she didn’t find a rich person to support her, our school beauty would practically wilt.” People were talking amongst themselves close by. From time to time, they let out a burst of mocking laughter.
Mu Sensen’s face turned green. “I’ll go warn them.”
Cen Shuang pulled her back and shook her head with a smile. “What’s there to say? They’re right. I’m just a joke, but who cares about that when I get to drive a Maserati? I’m much better than jealous people who don’t have the chance to drive a car like that.”
Mu Sensen could not help but laugh. “Jealousy makes people unrecognizable.”
“Cen Shuang, what do you mean by that? You’re shameless. Who’s envious of you?”
Cen Shuang took a sip of her soup and said slowly, “Anyone who wants to give me trouble is probably jealous.”
“You’re shameless.”
