Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 11

Chapter 11

The subordinate crouched down, trembling, to pick up the documents on the floor. Ji Yanqing controlled her emotions and asked her, “Xiao Wu, why would she go back to her family with a stranger? Have I not been good to her all these years?”

The girl named Xiao Wu paused her hand from picking up the documents and looked up at her. Ji Yanqing continued, “If it weren’t for me at the birthday party last year, she’d be dead, wouldn’t she? After so many years of friendship, why would she suddenly go home with a stranger?”

She was both asking a question and questioning herself, her tone wavering. Xiao Wu didn’t dare to answer.

Ji Yanqing paused, as if recalling something. Then, she irritably rubbed her temples, her eyes darkening. She looked at her subordinate. “After she was paralyzed for a year, her popularity in the industry has probably faded, right? Go check her itinerary and let her fans know what their ethereal diva is like now!”

She said, “Even if the white rose I raised with my own hands withers, I won’t let anyone else touch it!”

Xiao Wu placed the documents on the desk and bowed respectfully. “Yes, Miss!”

Ji Yanqing added, “And that little bastard, teach her a lesson too!”

“Understood, Miss!” she said.

Ji Yanqing waved her hand, and Xiao Wu left.

Ji Yanqing wasn’t like this before. Before Ji Wanqing’s true identity was revealed, she was known as Shao Yu. She lost her father at a young age, and her mother remarried. Old Master Shao felt sorry for her and raised her like a little princess.

The Ji and Shao families were old friends, and the old master often took her to the Ji family’s house. As they grew closer, she and Ji Wanqing became close sisters. Later, she developed feelings for her, but Ji Wanqing only saw her as a sister.

Then, she, brave and passionate, confessed to Ji Wanqing and was rejected. She was arrogant and willful. After her confidence was shattered, she deliberately avoided Ji Wanqing, and their relationship remained awkward for a long time.

Later, Old Master Shao suddenly became seriously ill. The Shao family didn’t announce it to the public to maintain stability. Shao Yu put all her energy into taking care of her grandfather, while Ji Wanqing focused on her career. They basically lost contact during that period.

When Old Master Shao passed away, the Shao family fell into a power struggle. Overnight, Shao Yu became a disfavored orphan, ostracized by the elders of the family. During that same time, Ji Wanqing’s career in the entertainment industry was on the rise. She became a diva, admired by everyone. The gap between them became a chasm. The sense of a great fall, coupled with her inherent possessiveness, drove Shao Yu to madness.

By the time Madam Ji took her into her home, she was no longer the arrogant princess who would grab a pretty girl by the sleeve and say, “Sister, I want to marry you and make you my wife in my fortress.”

The accumulated resentment led her to make a wrong choice in a moment of weakness. From then on, there was no longer Shao Yu in the world, only Ji Yanqing…

The drive to the cat cafe Cen Xia found took about two hours.

Ji Wanqing suffered from chronic insomnia, and her body was much weaker than before. The two-hour drive had exhausted her, but she seemed to always maintain her composure. At that moment, her temples were covered in a thin layer of sweat, and her back was almost soaked with cold sweat, but she was still sitting upright with her lips slightly pursed.

Tang Shaoyun stopped the car and said, “Miss, we’ve arrived!” He then opened the car door and quickly prepared the wheelchair for Ji Wanqing.

As soon as he got out, Cen Xia moved a little closer to Ji Wanqing, her red lips lightly blowing air into her ear. “Sister, let’s rest for a bit before we go in!”

Ji Wanqing turned her head to look at her and was about to raise her hand to say something.

Cen Xia spoke first. “I’m carsick and can’t walk. I want to rest for a bit!” As she spoke, she leaned her head on Ji Wanqing’s shoulder. “Sister, can you please ask that mean bodyguard uncle for me? I’m scared!”

Ji Wanqing’s shoulder sank, and her body involuntarily leaned back. She steadied herself, turned her head to look at her, and slowly raised her arm.

—He’s the head of IT at Zhicheng Technology, and he’s not much older than you.

Cen Xia said, “A director? I always thought he was your bodyguard. Then your employees at Zhicheng must have been exploited a lot, right?”

Ji Wanqing was surprised to hear that.

—Why would you say that?

Cen Xia answered without hesitation, “A fierce-looking boss like that seems very oppressive. He’s like a head teacher, with eyes on you all day. Who would dare to slack off under his nose? Isn’t that a form of exploitation?”

Ji Wanqing: …

Director Tang: …

He had been standing by the door with the wheelchair since Cen Xia leaned on Ji Wanqing’s shoulder. Their surprised reactions made him instinctively quiet.

At this moment, Tang Shaoyun couldn’t help but wonder if he was fierce. The young lady was a thousand times fiercer than him. Normal people would break out in a cold sweat just by getting close to her, but this girl could lean on her shoulder and talk and laugh. Him, fierce? He wasn’t even as intimidating as one of Ji Wanqing’s toes!

Cen Xia sat up, brushed the hair from Ji Wanqing’s forehead behind her ear, and with a long arm, gently pulled her onto her shoulder. “Sister, get some rest. My shoulder is here for you to lean on!”

Tang Shaoyun: !!!

His eyes widened in shock.

Ji Wanqing’s body was a little stiff, but she wasn’t particularly resistant. She always felt that this slender shoulder was very reliable and gave her a sense of peace.

Tang Shaoyun couldn’t hold back and coughed in surprise. Ji Wanqing quickly sat up, and Cen Xia also adopted a serious expression. She kept glancing at Ji Wanqing’s face, her eyes hinting: Sister, ask the director for a break for me!

Ji Wanqing: …

A few seconds later, she raised her arm towards the person outside.

—Go to the convenience store and buy a bottle of water!

Director Tang felt like he had been granted a special pardon. He threw the wheelchair back into the car and quickly ran off.

After Tang Shaoyun left, Cen Xia pulled Ji Wanqing to lean on her again. After a few times of this, she realized that Ji Wanqing was a proud person and didn’t like to show her vulnerability in front of outsiders, but this didn’t include her, who was her wife in name.

Ji Wanqing’s happiness index in her married life was closely related to her own survival in this world. She needed her to recover soon and return to a normal life. If conditions allowed, it wouldn’t be impossible to be bound together like this for a lifetime.

It took Tang Shaoyun a long time to buy a bottle of water. Ji Wanqing had rested for a while and felt a little better. They got ready to go to the cat cafe. She didn’t let Tang Shaoyun follow them. He stayed in the car, playing games and waiting for their call.

Ji Wanqing wore a bucket hat, sunglasses, and a mask. She sat in her wheelchair, her body as thin as a piece of paper, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. No one would associate her with the famous “Four Divas” from back then.

Cen Xia pushed her, occasionally leaning down and whispering to her. This area was a new tourist zone and a hotspot for influencers. There were many tourists on holidays, but not many on weekdays. The two of them walked leisurely on the quiet street.

Although Ji Wanqing’s body was tired, her heart was happy. She hadn’t felt this relaxed in a long time. Three days ago, a life like this was unimaginable for her.

The cat cafe had a transparent glass door, and they could see the pets inside from a distance. There were many different kinds, and each one was adorable. The environment was also very cozy. When they arrived at the door, the sensor door automatically opened, and a friendly staff member greeted them enthusiastically. “Welcome! Please come in!”

Cen Xia gave her reservation number. Since they were VIP members, they were led to a private room. The VIP room was very private. Ji Wanqing took off her disguise and had a close encounter with the kittens. They were all very smart. As soon as a guest came in, they would rub against them, begging for attention.

Ji Wanqing rarely interacted with small animals, so she was a little afraid of these small, furry creatures.

Cen Xia took a long step forward, squatted down, and clapped her hands at the furry creatures. “Kitties, come here to Sister!”

A group of furry balls all rushed to her. She petted each of their heads and gave them cat treats. After the kittens finished eating, they rolled on the floor, showing their white bellies.

Cen Xia smiled at Ji Wanqing and said, “Sister, look how well-behaved they are!”

Ji Wanqing’s eyes were still on her. The kittens were well-behaved, but they weren’t as warm as she was.

Cen Xia petted them for a while, then picked up a small ragdoll cat and walked over. Ji Wanqing’s eyes shifted back to the cat.

She placed the ragdoll on her lap.

Ji Wanqing’s body visibly tensed. She clenched her hands on her skirt and sat stiffly in her wheelchair, not daring to move.

The little ragdoll cat also sensed her nervousness. It stood firmly on her lap with its four paws, its big blue eyes staring at her.

Cen Xia reached out a finger and scratched its chin a few times. The little cat let its guard down, its paws relaxed, and it knelt on Ji Wanqing’s lap. She stroked its head a couple of times, and the little creature’s throat made a purring sound.

She said, “Sister, cats love it when people scratch their chins. Look how much it’s enjoying it!”

Ji Wanqing’s body relaxed a little, and she watched it with her dark eyes.

Cen Xia said, “Animals have a spirit. They are very smart. They can feel whether someone likes or dislikes them.”

Ji Wanqing thought about what she said, her expression very serious.

Cen Xia gently took one of her hands off her skirt and guided it to the cat’s fluffy back. She said, “Sister, try it. Its body is very soft!”

Ji Wanqing’s fingertips touched its soft fur, and her eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The little creature’s purring became louder. It even lay on its side, rolling its head back to show a cute, spoiled pose.

Cen Xia smiled at Ji Wanqing and said, “Sister, it really likes you!”

Ji Wanqing looked at her. How do you know?

Cen Xia said, “It will act spoiled toward the person it likes, and it will purr for the person it trusts. If you spend enough time with it, it will even show you its white belly. The belly is the most vulnerable part of their body. If they’re willing to show you their belly, it means they see you as their owner!”

Animals are just like humans. They also have weaknesses and things they don’t want to show easily.

Ji Wanqing, following her guidance, also carefully reached out her finger and gently scratched its chin. The little creature rolled over on her lap, revealing its white belly and lying with its four paws up in the air.

Cen Xia took hold of its front paw, her index finger gently squeezing the pink paw pad. She looked up and smiled at Ji Wanqing. “See? I told you it likes you!”

Ji Wanqing looked at her suspiciously.

Cen Xia’s eyes were sparkling. “Of course, it likes you. You’re so nice, Sister. If I were a cat, I’d stick to you every day, acting spoiled and begging for pets!”

A casual remark of “liking” can touch a person in an unexpected way. Ji Wanqing’s eyes drifted to the cat, not daring to look into her eyes anymore. A faint blush, almost imperceptible, crept up both sides of her pale cheeks.
