She felt the cold aura emanating from Zhuang Hong’s body and immediately stopped crying. However, she still covered her face with her hand to prevent him from realizing that she had faked her hurt.

Cen Shuang knew that Zhuang Hong was talking about her, but Zhuang Xinyan did not know. She thought that Zhuang Hong was talking about her. She thought that her brother was blaming her and that he was about to punish her.

Zhuang Xinyan looked at Zhuang Hong and her eyes were tear-stricken with disbelief as she said, “Brother, I’m not messing around. Why are you so protective and biased towards this woman? Are you stupid?”

Zhuang Hong frowned and said in a low voice, “Xinyan, get out.”

Zhuang Xinyan heard these words. She was sure that Zhuang Hong felt that she pushed Cen Shuang and was blaming her. With reddened eyes, she stared at Cen Shuang on the ground. Tears streamed down her face without stopping. Ever since she was young, Zhuang Hong had doted on her the most, he had never scolded her loudly, but now that Cen Shuang was here, she was no longer her brother’s most cherished person. This woman was.

Zhuang Xinyan suddenly felt that she had been abandoned by the Zhuang family. She stared at Cen Shuang on the ground, then glared at Zhuang Hong and said angrily, “I didn’t push her. She fell to the ground on her own. I hate both of you so much. You’re such an idiot. I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”

Zhuang Xinyan was so angry that she ran out of the door. Boyan quickly chased after her when he realized the gravity of the situation. Only Cen Shuang and Zhuang Hong were left in the room. The air was very still. Zhuang Hong was still sitting in the wheelchair, as he slowly made his way to Cen Shuang.

Cen Shuang was still sprawled out on the ground. A pair of men’s leather shoes and pants entered her line of sight. She knew that the man in front of her was in a wheelchair. In fact, Zhuang Hong was not a threat to Cen Shuang. She could even break his arms and legs with her own hands. However, Zhuang Hong made her feel tense.

Cen Shuang did not dare to look up at him, nor did she dare to see the coldness in his eyes. She was even afraid that Zhuang Hong would look at her with disgust.

Zhuang Hong looked at the motionless figure on the ground. After a long while, he said, “It’s cold on the ground. Get up.”

The floor was carpeted, and the room was air-conditioned. In fact, she could not feel the cold, but Cen Shuang shivered and stood up obediently. She grabbed the hem of his shirt with both hands, but she still gazed at his pants, not meeting his eyes. She said softly, “I was wrong.”

Cen Shuang would also admit her mistake! A flash of surprise flashed across Zhuang Hong’s eyes. Then, he looked at her fingers that were red from her strong grip. His eyes were dark as he said, “What happened?”

“It was indeed not Zhuang Xinyan who pushed me down just now. I knew that someone was coming and fell to the ground on my own, causing you to misunderstand.” Cen Shuang was straightforward and explained the matter simply. The original sobbing tone she had adopted and the delicate demeanour she had assumed when he first entered the room had disappeared. However, she still looked like she had done something wrong. She lowered her head like a child who had admitted her mistake. She seemed to be waiting for an impending punishment.

Zhuang Hong retracted his gaze from her hand and looked up. He happened to see that her clothes were messy. She had been so engrossed in acting that she did not notice that the clothes she was wearing were exposing her skin. Zhuang Hong’s gaze was profound, and his hand seemed to tremble as he reached out to set her clothes right. He did not ask, “Why did you do that?”

Cen Shuang pouted. “Your sister keeps picking on me. She even said that I’m seeing someone else and nitpicked about my flaws. I just can’t accept it.”

Ever since she was young, she had complained in front of her parents many times. Cen Zhu always gave in to her. She was also a spoiled girl. She had snitched many times and was very familiar with it. Moreover, what she said was the truth. Plus, if she said it out loud, others would feel sorry for her.

Zhuang Hong had seen through Cen Shuang’s scheming. He knew about it having heard her when he was comatose. However, he clearly remembered the time she had put the grape skin on his mouth and Lan Yibai had walked in. She did not give anything away. Hearing her complaints, Zhuang Hong asked unhurriedly, “Do you have flaws?”

Cen Shuang made a gesture that indicated that she had just a few. “I do have a few flaws, but who doesn’t have flaws? Your sister’s issues are worse than mine.”

She looked as innocent as a child, but she was very honest. However, she did not forget to fight back and complain again.

Zhuang Hong looked at her unconvinced face, and there was no expression on his face. “Are you seeing another man?”

Zhuang Hong paused in the middle of this question, and Cen Shuang immediately replied, “Who’s seeing another man? Of course not!”

Cen Shuang originally wanted to say, “Who doesn’t have guy friends?” But she realized that Zhuang Hong was talking about a man whom she shared romantic feelings with. She replied honestly. She was truly not seeing another man.
