Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 20

Chapter 20

After the family members gathered to cause trouble and reporters surrounded them, the news that Ji Wanqing had forced a 60-year-old housekeeper to her death was at the center of the storm. At the same time, Zhicheng Technology’s reputation in the industry was plummeting.

There were countless posts like these. The family members came to the scene with a signed termination contract to cause trouble, Ji Yanqing’s bitter defense, and the video of Cen Xia being taken away by the police on the spot. With all these details pieced together, Ji Wanqing’s reputation as a queen of pop was completely ruined. As popular as she was before, that’s how many people were cursing her now.

Tang Shaoyun also had his hands full. After all, this incident had a devastating impact on Zhicheng Technology. Many collaborating companies wanted to terminate their agreements. He had to handle internal company affairs, calm the online storm for Ji Wanqing, and, most importantly, keep an eye on the Ji family to prevent those people from causing any more trouble.

Ji Wanqing’s situation was even worse. After that downpour, all of her symptoms flared up. If it weren’t for Dr. Yan’s superb medical skills, she could have died at any moment.

Cen Xia was by her side at all times, but she was rarely conscious and could rarely respond to her normally. She was very worried.

Because Ji Wanqing had been tortured in the past when she was on the sickbed, in addition to her persistent low-grade fever and comas, her most obvious problem was her urinary tract. Combined with psychological reasons, every time she went to the bathroom, it was a painful experience. She couldn’t urinate, her emotions were tense, and when a little bit finally came out, it was all bloody.

Sometimes, when she couldn’t bear it anymore, she would tug on Cen Xia’s clothes. Her despairing eyes would make any normal person’s heart ache, let alone hers.

Cen Xia wanted to ask Dr. Yan to insert a catheter for her several times, but she was rejected by her look of repulsion.

Ji Wanqing would just look at her, bite her lip, and shake her head with tears in her eyes. It was her last bit of dignity.

Cen Xia was also sad, but she didn’t force her.

To avoid bothering her, Ji Wanqing gestured toward the storage cabinet.

—The bottom shelf on the far right. There are diapers there. Go get them. I’ll wear them.

At that moment, Cen Xia broke down in tears. Ji Wanqing even tried to comfort her.

—Don’t cry. I’m used to it. Just bear with it, and it will pass.

Cen Xia didn’t move. She just kept crying and choked out, “That was before. Now you have me. I won’t allow you to do this to yourself!”

Ji Wanqing closed her eyes, and tears streamed down the corners. In the end, she didn’t insist. She just bit her lip and nodded. After that, she would rather die of thirst than drink a single drop of water. Her throat was burning, her tongue was so dry it couldn’t be curled, and the corners of her lips were cracked, mixed with streaks of blood.

Cen Xia said, “Sister, just take a sip. You’re going to kill yourself if you keep this up. Think about me. Think about Shanqing. What will we do if you’re gone?”

She raised her hand, her eyes glistening with tears, almost begging.

—It’s too painful. I don’t dare to drink. I’m sorry…

Cen Xia had no choice but to use a cotton swab dipped in mineral water to moisten her lips and the inside of her mouth. Her throat was inflamed, and swallowing was painful. Sometimes she was so sad and uncomfortable that her whole body would convulse. Everything had reached a level that a normal person couldn’t bear.

On the fifth day, Yan Shuang came to check on her and almost issued a critical condition notice. He said, “Miss Cen, you have to find a way to make the young lady eat something. Her physical problems are serious, but a large part of the reason is psychological!”

Cen Xia said, “I don’t have a way, Dr. Yan. I’ve tried everything. Sister won’t drink a single drop of water. I don’t know what to do…”

Dr. Yan also shook his head. He was a famous person in the medical field and had dealt with many patients who were more severe than this, but this time he was truly helpless.

The young lady had a heart disease, and medicine couldn’t save her.

Although Cen Xia was in despair, she was not one to give up easily. After talking to Yan Shuang, she went back to the room, and when she faced Ji Wanqing, she put on a different face. She would put on a weary smile and tell her jokes. She said, “Sister, guess what Shanqing just did?”

Ji Wanqing, in a daze, heard the voice. She slowly lifted her eyelids, then tiredly closed her eyes again.

Cen Xia babbled on by herself, gesturing as she spoke.

“Director Tang was doing his… whatchamacallit, database optimization. It jumped onto his computer and closed the program window that had been running for a long time with one paw. Director Tang said: ‘What the heck!'”

“His face was so dark back then. He chased Shanqing down the hallway, wanting to stew it and eat it.”

“Then, when he saw me come out, he waved his hand and stroked its back, saying, ‘Aw, be a good little cat. Don’t cause trouble, don’t cause trouble…'”

“That expression was just… so funny!”

“Ah ha ha ha, he was afraid I would tell on him to Sister. He was actually afraid I would tell on him to Sister!”

…

Listening to her cheerful laughter, Ji Wanqing once again opened her eyes. She tried to squeeze her dry lips. She couldn’t laugh, but tears came down.

Cen Xia said, “Sister, what should we have for breakfast? How about dough drop soup? It’s been a long time since you’ve had my dough drop soup. My skill is almost lost. Sister, please do me the honor and let me show you what I can do!”

Ji Wanqing looked at her with difficulty, not knowing how to answer her.

Cen Xia leaned in and rubbed her face lightly against her wrist, like a little cat rubbing its head to be spoiled. She said, “Sister, please?”

Ji Wanqing’s arm flinched. Where their skin touched, there was a slight itch. She lowered her eyes to look at her.

—Get up quickly. No whining!

Cen Xia said, “If Sister agrees to do me the honor, I’ll get up. Otherwise, I’ll be like a little cat and keep rubbing against you!” She said, and then she licked her forearm with the tip of her tongue. “Like this!”

Half of Ji Wanqing’s arm began to feel numb. For the first time, there was a hint of emotion in her eyes. Get away!

[Ding. Host Cen Xia, congratulations on triggering the cheat mode, level 0.1, for a main attack. Keep up the good work.]

Cen Xia paused when she heard this. Recently, her post-marriage happiness index had been continuously decreasing, almost reaching single digits.

She didn’t know how long she could survive in this world given Ji Wanqing’s current condition, but she was more worried about her physical state, so she subconsciously ignored the happiness value. At this moment, hearing this inexplicable “level 0.1 main attack mode,” she subconsciously looked around to see if there was any danger.

System: Host, this is another function of the cheat. It’s self-explanatory. Those who know, know.

Cen Xia: …

What’s “self-explanatory, those who know, know”?

System: Host, you can try to use this mode to complete the mission, but if the power is too great, it will also cause harm to your body.

Cen Xia: You shut up!

The system went silent.

When she came back to her senses, a faint pink color had appeared on Ji Wanqing’s cheeks for the first time in many days.

She was shy. She was really shy. She was so cute, being so weak and shy!

Cen Xia was in a daze for a moment. Then she suddenly flipped over and leaned in, planting a kiss on her cheek. Before she could react, Cen Xia quickly ran away. Her starry eyes looked into Ji Wanqing’s eyes and blinked like lightning. She said, “Since Sister didn’t say anything, that means you agreed. I’m going to make you some dough drop soup!”

After she said that, she turned and left without waiting for Ji Wanqing to react. Ji Wanqing raised her hand and touched the spot on her cheek where she had been kissed. The tension and depression that had accumulated for days were now replaced by a sense of confusion. Her mind was blank, and she stared blankly at the ceiling.

Cen Xia walked quickly. She didn’t feel anything in the room or on the way to the kitchen. When she was making the dough drop soup, she suddenly felt that the weather today was a bit hot. She deliberately turned down the air conditioner a degree, but it was still hot. A few minutes later, she turned it down a little more.

She thought, Is this a side effect of the cheat?

A few minutes later, she came in with a steaming bowl of dough drop soup. In addition, she had also made a cup of pear water just for her.

Ji Wanqing hadn’t had a single drop of water or a single grain of rice for almost a week. She was completely dependent on IV fluids. Cen Xia had to find a way to make her eat. Since the main attack mode had been triggered, she might as well use it to get through this difficult time.

When Cen Xia came in with the food, Ji Wanqing was surprisingly conscious, but her expression was a little blank as she stared at the ceiling. Cen Xia said, “Sister, dinner is served! Here’s some fragrant and smooth dough drops. If it’s not delicious, you don’t have to pay!”

Ji Wanqing’s thoughts were pulled back. She turned her head to look at her and saw a familiar bowl of dough drop soup on the table. Beside it was a small cup of pear water.

Cen Xia said, “Buy one, get one free! This is the pear water our shop has specially prepared for you. It’s sweet and moist. My customer, would you like to taste it now?”

A glimmer of light appeared in Ji Wanqing’s eyes for a moment, then it dimmed again. She couldn’t drink it. She couldn’t bear the physical pain.

Cen Xia took in her subtle emotional change. She thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said to Ji Wanqing, “Then I’ll taste it for Sister?”

Ji Wanqing didn’t respond. Cen Xia picked up the pear water from the table and took a small sip, deliberately making a surprised expression. “Wow, it’s so good! This shop’s skill is absolutely amazing!”

Ji Wanqing looked at her, and her throat subconsciously ached. For the first time in a long time, she felt thirsty.

Cen Xia ignored her and took another sip of the pear water. When Ji Wanqing wasn’t paying attention, she leaned in, and her red lips landed on her pale lips.

She held the pear water in her mouth and used her tongue to gently pry inside. The sweet and moist pear water slid down her dry throat little by little. It was a little cold and a little warm.

Ji Wanqing’s pupils widened in shock, wrapped by her long eyelashes. She stopped thinking, and even her heart stopped beating for a few seconds.

When she slowly regained some consciousness, Cen Xia looked into her eyes with a fake smile. She said, “I saw this in a TV drama. When the wife couldn’t drink her medicine, the husband would feed it to her with his mouth, and the wife would drink it!”
