Master Hong's Lucky Bride - Chapter 84

Chapter 84: It is My Priceless Treasure

When Cen Shuang’s mother said she wanted to leave this wedding dress to her, she was so happy that she picked up a needle and thread and carefully embroidered a blue teapot on it. Because her mother’s name was Lan Huixing, meaning blue comet, her father thought it was appropriate to name this dress after her too.

Cen Shuang raised her head and looked at Zhuang Hong. “How do you know this? You went out just to help me buy this dress?”

When she looked at Zhuang Hong, Cen Shuang felt her heart beating wildly. This man knew her. He knew what she was thinking. Yesterday, she thought that she would lose this dress completely, but today, she had it back. It was as if she was dreaming, or perhaps she really had not woken up from her dream yet.

Cen Shuang thought about it and could not help but frown. Then, she pinched her own face. Zhuang Hong did not have the time to stop her. He saw her grimace as she pinched herself. “It hurts, so it’s not a dream. Zhuang Hong, how did you do it? Mrs. Shang said she would not sell this dress.”

Cen Shuang wanted to beg her, but after that, she realized that she did not even know who this “Mrs. Shang” was or where she lived. Even if she really agreed to sell it in the end, she might not be able to afford it. Cen Shuang had thought carefully about the situation. She thought about how she could borrow money from the Zhuang family now that she was Young Madam Zhuang. She thought about asking Lan Yibai for help. She thought of many ways, but in the end, she could not help but forget about it. Why did she marry into the Zhuang family? She knew very well why she married into the Zhuang family. Therefore, she did not think that the Zhuang family would help her. There was no free lunch in this world. To take back the Cen family’s villa, she had to sacrifice her love life to get married. If she were to have brought up this ‘Blue Comet’, what could she have bargained with?

Zhuang Hong did not seem to see the light in her eyes. He said calmly, “It was originally bought. Naturally, it will have its price. Someone refusing to sell it just means that a buyer hasn’t come forward with a high enough bid yet.”

Although this line was tacky and she could see it in almost every novel, Cen Shuang was still moved. Her eyes turned hot and she actually could not help but pounce on him. She directly dived into the man’s embrace. “Zhuang Hong, you’re so nice. Thank you.”

This dress was like a priceless treasure to her, much like the Cen family’s villa. However, in reality, this price was indeed not cheap. Back then, when she wanted to buy it at twice the market price, it had already made her hesitate. Zhuang Hong had brought this dress back. This meant that the price he had offered was definitely higher than she thought. It might even be dozens of times the actual price of this dress.

Her sudden closeness stunned Zhuang Hong. His palm that was suspended in mid-air paused for a moment. Finally, it slowly and uncertainly landed on her. He hugged Cen Shuang and said with a chuckle, “So you think I’m good only because I bought you this dress.”

Cen Shuang hugged him and said, “No, this dress is different. It is a priceless treasure to me.”

Zhuang Hong raised his eyebrows. There was a smile in his eyes. This meant that she was also his priceless treasure.

Cen Shuang’s illness came and went quickly. To be precise, when she saw this dress again, her illness went away. “Baozi, why did you eat so much today? Remember to walk around after you eat. You could grow too fat. Even bean buns are much taller than you now.”

Cen Shuang was squatting in the rose garden and feeling the warm sunlight on her body. Her vision was covered by a black shadow. Cen Shuang raised her head and saw Zhuang Hong sitting in the wheelchair in front of her. She ran over happily, she pulled up the blanket covering his legs. “The sun is just right. Do you want to walk around?”

Zhuang Hong’s legs recovered very slowly. Cen Shuang also felt that it was strange. Why did Boyan say that it would be fine after training for a few days every day? She made sure Zhuang Hong trained every day. Why was he still unable to stand steadily?

Zhuang Hong’s eyes softened when he looked at Cen Shuang in front of him. He looked at her expectant gaze and smiled lightly. “Okay.”

Cen Shuang walked closer to him and said, “I’ll hold you. Be careful. We’ll just sit on the stone platform in front of us.”

A distance of less than ten steps was an easy journey for a normal person. However, Zhuang Hong fell onto Cen Shuang as soon as he got up. The weight of his entire body was on Cen Shuang’s body.

Cen Shuang felt the added pressure on her body. She held onto Zhuang Hong’s body and swayed. “Zhuang Hong, why are you so heavy? Stand firm.”

She suspected that Zhuang Hong was pressing his entire body onto hers, which was why she was in so much pain.

She heard Zhuang Hong’s deep voice from above her head. “I’ve tried my best, but my legs still aren’t moving.”

The warm rays of the winter sun were very gentle, tightly enveloping the two people who were leaning on each other. Cen Shuang was slender, but she was very strong. Zhuang Hong, who was leaning on her body, hugged her arm tightly. Cen Shuang could not exert her strength even if she wanted to.
