Zhuang Hong flashed a cold glance at him. Although his influence seemed weak now, his dignity was still there. Boyan quickly shut his mouth and went to check on his condition.
After a while, Boyan said, “You’ve been unconscious for so long. The swelling in your brain has almost gone down completely. It’s just that your body is a little weak. You just need to replenish it.”
Boyan’s last statement held an obvious hint. Cen Shuang’s face instantly turned red again. Zhuang Hong had woken up, but she did not know how to get along with him. The Zhuang Hong she knew was quiet and he let her do whatever she wanted. However, it did not seem easy to get along with him now.
The strangest thing was why she was so nervous in front of him. She did not even know what to do with her hands as she stood there uneasily.
Zhuang Hong said coldly, “The Zhuang family’s recent situation.”
Boyan said helplessly, “I knew you were a workaholic. I send the Zhuang family’s information to your private email every day. You can take your time to peruse it. However, the Zhuang family is no longer what it was half a year ago.”
Zhuang Hong had been seriously injured half a year ago, and he had been bedridden for so long. No one knew if he would be able to wake up and rejoin the corporation. Zhuang Yiliang and his son naturally took the opportunity to seize power. Although the Zhuang family had Old Master Zhuang leading it,
he was not young anymore. There were some things that he was unable to do.
Zhuang Hong’s gaze was solemn. Just as Boyan had said, the Zhuang family’s situation was not good. In just half a year, the family’s second son and his son had almost emptied out half of the Zhuang Corporation’s assets.
Boyan continued, “I haven’t told anyone about you waking up. If they find out, they’ll probably worry themselves to death right now.”
Boyan sneered. Zhuang Hong’s willpower had always been very good. Even if everyone in the Zhuang family did not believe that he would wake up, Boyan still believed in him. “It will still take some time for your body to recover. You shouldn’t be interfering with the company’s matters.”
However, if the father and son knew that he had woken up, it would only make them jump the gun. They would take an even bigger bite out of the Zhuang Corporation.
Zhuang Hong asked, “How long will it take for me to recover?”
Boyan thought for a moment. “About two months. The time you spent in bed is not considered long. However, if you work hard to ‘train’ yourself your recovery should be faster.” After saying that, his gaze swept over Cen Shuang. He packed his things and was about to leave. His expression was serious.
‘When he passed by Cen Shuang, he even reminded her considerately, “A coma patient who has just woken up isn’t fully recovered yet. Please continue to take care of him for a little longer.”
Cen Shuang rolled her eyes. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were alone again. “Should I tell mom that you’re awake?”
As soon as Cen Shuang finished speaking, Lan Yibai came back. “I heard that you called Boyan. Are you not feeling well?” The moment Lan Yibai came back, she grabbed Cen Shuang’s hand and spoke nervously.
Cen Shuang shook her head. “It’s not me, it’s…”
Cen Shuang was stunned when she saw that Zhuang Hong was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep. When did he lie down? He moved so quickly. Had this person really been weak for half a year?
Lan Yibai’s gaze was unexpectedly sharp. “Boyan already comes to check on Zhuang Hong every week. We shouldn’t trouble him. Why are his clothes dirty?”
Cen Shuang said embarrassedly, “I accidentally spilled porridge on him when I was eating. I changed the bedsheets and changed his clothes. I don’t think I got everything.”
Lan Yibai looked at her nervous expression and smiled gently. “‘m not angry. I’m already very happy that you can accompany Zhuang Hong every day. With you around, he shouldn’t feel lonely.”
“Your son isn’t lonely at all. I’m afraid he still secretly despises me.’ Cen Shuang thought this to herself. Zhuang Hong had woken up, but he did not want Lan Yibai to know. She felt quite guilty. Her mother-in-law treated her well and she was not telling her the truth. She felt guilty!
Lan Yibai stayed for a while before leaving. Cen Shuang heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw Zhuang Hong open his eyes, her heart skipped a beat. What should she do? She was used to seeing him sleep, and she felt uncomfortable when he was awake.
Cen Shuang pinched the hem of her shirt and stood in front of the window. “Well, mom has been worried about you. You really won’t tell her that you’re awake?!”
Zhuang Hong threw her a small white bottle. “Eat this.”
Cen Shuang looked at it and asked, “What’s this?”
Zhuang Hong replied, “Anti-inflammatory medicine. The bandage on your back won’t be enough. You also have to be careful so that the wound won’t get inflamed.” Zhuang Hong looked at the tablet in his hand and spoke calmly.
Cen Shuang suddenly thought of something and blurted out, “How do you know that I have a wound on my back? Did you see it?” This meant that he had woken up last night, but Cen Shuang remembered that she had been naked last night.
Zhuang Hong raised his head and met her panicked gaze. He said calmly, “I saw it. I even personally applied medicine on the wound for you.”
Zhuang Hong’s voice echoed in Cen Shuang’s mind. She thought she had dreamt that Zhuang Hong applied medicine on her back. She also thought she dreamt that she slept holding tightly to his hand…… Did all of that really happen?

Chapter 44: You Want to Kick Me Out of the Zhuang Family’s House

It was Zhuang Hong who had applied the medicine on her wound. That was why her back healed so quickly.
Cen shuang said, “Then what I said this morning…”
“You called me hubby and said that you were very beautiful. Do you want me to open my eyes and look at you? I heard you!” Zhuang Hong answered seriously. His eyes were calm and reserved, but his words were straightforward.
Cen Shuang froze and blinked at the man on the bed. “I wasn’t wearing any clothes.”
She had been naked for the entire night and had even walked around the room in the morning. Did that not mean…
Zhuang Hong retracted his gaze and his attention returned to the tablet in his hand. “I didn’t look at you.”
Cen Shuang felt that his words sounded so fake. He had applied medicine on her wound and covered her with the blanket. He claimed that he didn’t look at her. Clearly, he had seen everything.
Cen Shuang looked at the man on the bed and was both angry and annoyed. “So be it. I’m a member of your family anyway.” Although she said that, her flushed face still exposed how embarrassed she felt. She had let her guard down. How could she blame him now? If anyone was to blame, it was herself.
She had never thought that Zhuang Hong would wake up so quickly. She also did not think that he would look at her when he woke up.
Cen Shuang turned around on the bed. After a while, she said softly, “Thank you.” After all, he had helped her by giving her the medicine. She had to accept his kindness.
Zhuang Hong looked up at her in surprise. She clearly felt wronged, but she refused to let him see her. He thought of the words he had heard when he was unconscious.
“Zhuang Hong, can you wake up? If you wake up, I won’t have to be bullied anymore.’
However, the person who bullied her today seemed to be herself.
Zhuang Hong thought for a moment and said, “The Zhuang family won’t tie you up.”
The Zhuang family would not let her suffer. She did not have to suffer so much, and she did not have to be so careful in front of him. The girl in Zhuang Hong’s dreams was noisy and crafty. She could act like a tiny kitten and be completely obedient when other people were around. However, she could also
be fierce when she was with him, and act like a little tigress.
She had never been at a disadvantage when it came to Zhuang Tinghao. However, when she was alone, she would hug him and secretly lick her wounds.
Cen Shuang was stunned. She turned around and met Zhuang Hong’s thoughtful gaze. Her eyes were red. “You want to kick me out of the Zhuang family’s house!”
Did he say that? Could this be the generation gap that the outside world was talking about? Zhuang Hong frowned and was about to explain. Cen shuang said aggressively, “Your mother announced our marriage, and I am the young madam now. I am legally married to you. Why should I leave just because
you want me to? Dream on!”
Cen Shuang seemed to have thought of something after she finished speaking. She started rummaging through the drawers in the room and very quickly threw two marriage certificates and an agreement in front of him.
Cen Shuang looked up and said proudly, “You can divorce me if you want. You have to give me a large amount of alimony and the Cen family’s house.”
Although Cen Shuang felt that her words were very imposing, she still could not help but tear up. Her guess was right. Zhuang Hong wanted to deny the fact that he was married to her the moment he woke up and he even wanted to divorce her. Although she was not attached to this emotionally
unavailable husband, she still felt mistreated. When she thought of leaving this house, leaving the Zhuang family, and Zhuang Hong wanting to divorce her, she felt more and more wronged. She felt so wronged that she could not control her tears. When they fell, she quickly wiped them away. What kind
of joke was this? She, the second daughter of the Cen family, would not let anyone see her cry. Even Zhuang Hong was not allowed to.
Zhuang Hong did not look at the two marriage certificates. Instead, he picked up the agreement and took a look. His face darkened. She married him just to take back the Cen family’s villa? Did she not consider that he might not have woken up? She would have been faced with a husband who could never
speak, and she would still need to take care of him.
Or was it that from the beginning to the end, Cen Shuang did not care about these things? She only cared about this house. It did not matter who he was.
Zhuang Hong sighed and tidied up the things on the bed. He handed them to her. “Put them back neatly. Don’t throw them around. I don’t like messy rooms.”
Cen shuang said aggrievedly, “I clean up every day, okay?”
Seeing that Zhuang Hong did not say anything, Cen Shuang sat back on the bed in a huff. She was in a bad mood and did not want to say anything more. Cen Shuang lay on the bed for the entire afternoon and did not move. Although the scar on her back was scabbed over, it hurt when she moved.
Fortunately, she had asked Mu Sensen to apply for a leave of absence for her. However, it seemed that she would not be able to go to school for the next few days.
They suddenly heard the voice of the maid outside the door. “Young madam, Madam would like to invite you downstairs for dinner.”
Cen Shuang replied and looked up to see Zhuang Hong focused on a laptop like he had been all day. He had actually sat there for the whole day without moving. It was as if she was the only thing that was breathing in this room. Since Zhuang Hong had woken up, he had been very busy. He was not at all
cute when he was lying in bed……
