- Chapter 80 - Side Story — Zhuang Yuzhen in a Parallel World
This year, the professional managers performed exceptionally well. The shareholders were satisfied and no longer pressured Yun Can’er to return.
Ning Xiao received some news from Yang Yuanqi: Zhuang Yuzhen had finally woken up.
However, for reasons unknown, the awakened Zhuang Yuzhen had become obsessed with Yang Yuanqi. He insisted that Yang Yuanqi was his husband, leaving Yang Yuanqi completely at a loss as to what to do.
Yang Yuanqi vented his frustrations to Ning Xiao, “I just went to the hospital to check on him because I was worried the caregivers might be slacking off. Who knew he’d wake up and repay my kindness with such ‘vengeance’? He clings to me every day and has already ruined several of my blind dates.”
Ning Xiao felt a sudden urge to laugh. She had just learned from System 13579 that this Zhuang Yuzhen was from a parallel world and was no longer the original male lead of this reality.
In that parallel world, Zhuang Yuzhen and Yang Yuanqi had ended up together by a twist of fate and became lovers. Later, Yang Yuanqi died in a tragic car accident, and Zhuang Yuzhen committed suicide at his grave. Because his obsession was so deep, he was reborn into this world.
Ning Xiao decided to go and see this version of Zhuang Yuzhen.
Zhuang Yuzhen was still undergoing rehabilitation at the hospital. When Ning Xiao and Yun Can’er arrived, Yang Yuanqi was carefully supporting him. Zhuang Yuzhen was cautiously practicing his walking, looking up to smile at Yang Yuanqi every few steps. The more he smiled, the darker Yang Yuanqi’s expression became.
Watching from a distance, Yun Can’er remarked to Ning Xiao, “I actually find this Zhuang Yuzhen a bit cute. He seems much more innocent than the original one.”
Ning Xiao nodded in agreement, “It’s just poor Yang Yuanqi who has to suffer.”
As the two of them walked over, Yang Yuanqi looked at Ning Xiao as if she were a savior. He turned to Zhuang Yuzhen and said, “Yuzhen, look who’s here!”
He knew Ning Xiao was Zhuang Yuzhen’s goddess. He assumed that once Ning Xiao arrived, Zhuang Yuzhen would definitely stop focusing all his attention on him.
For some reason, even as Yang Yuanqi felt a sense of relief, he also felt a slight pang of loss in his heart.
He brushed this feeling off, thinking it was just because he hadn’t been so completely trusted and relied upon by someone in a long time, causing him to develop a small sense of possessiveness. He told himself that once Zhuang Yuzhen stopped clinging to him, this feeling would surely disappear.
Zhuang Yuzhen turned his head. When he saw Ning Xiao and Yun Can’er, his brow furrowed deeply. He turned back and said indignantly, “Why did you invite them? Ning Xiao is already married to Yun Can’er, yet you’re still pinning for her!”
Zhuang Yuzhen’s words grew increasingly sour, as if he had been dipped into a vat of vinegar. By the time he finished speaking, his eyes were red, and crystal-clear tears began to fall.
Ning Xiao: “…”
Yun Can’er: “…”
Zhuang Yuzhen had essentially swung from one extreme to another. Who would have thought that a domineering CEO from a parallel world would cry out of jealousy?
While Ning Xiao and Yun Can’er were speechless, Yang Yuanqi panicked at the sight of Zhuang Yuzhen crying. He quickly pulled him into a nearby wheelchair and began to coax him, his voice becoming incredibly gentle.
Ning Xiao said to Yun Can’er, “Let’s go grab some lunch and come back later.”
Yun Can’er nodded in agreement.
Usually, they were the ones showing off their affection to others, but today, they had been outdone by Zhuang Yuzhen and Yang Yuanqi.
After lunch, they returned to find that Zhuang Yuzhen had been moved back to his ward and his emotions had stabilized.
It was unclear how Yang Yuanqi had comforted him, but when Ning Xiao and Yun Can’er entered the room, Zhuang Yuzhen only gave Ning Xiao a smug look, appearing far less agitated than before.
Ning Xiao set down the bouquet of flowers she brought and offered a friendly greeting, “How are you feeling now? Do you still feel like crying?”
Zhuang Yuzhen’s face stiffened, “Crying? How could I possibly cry? You must have seen wrong.”
Yun Can’er added, “But it was just a moment ago at the rehab center. You started crying as soon as Ning Ning and I showed up.”
Yun Can’er was genuinely curious. Since she didn’t know he was from a parallel world, she really couldn’t understand why he would burst into tears.
Zhuang Yuzhen thought to himself, when a rival appears, if I don’t cry, how will I make my husband’s heart soften? Yun Can’er is just dim. If she cried a little, Ning Xiao would definitely take her away immediately and never see Yang Yuanqi again.
In the parallel world, Yang Yuanqi and Ning Xiao had once been a couple, and both Zhuang Yuzhen and Yun Can’er, as the ones who came later, had always been bothered by that fact.
Zhuang Yuzhen replied, “Why did I cry? Because I’m smart.” He glanced sideways at Yun Can’er, his look practically screaming that she was “stupid.”
Yun Can’er:
