Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 38
Chapter 38
This was another big event following the series of incidents with the ethereal queen. The entire Weibo platform nearly exploded, and the comments section was filled with screams.
—”Wow, wow! So sweet!! They’re insane!!!”
—”My heart broke into a million pieces when Qīngqīng was abused. Now that I see her with the person she loves, I wish them well and hope she recovers soon.”
—”My heart aches for Qīngqīng . She has finally met someone who can take care of her.”
—”I never thought I’d see a smile like this on Qīngqīng’s face again. When she came out of the court, I felt like she was about to collapse at any moment. Thank goodness she made it through. I sincerely wish them all the best.”
—”My wife of many years has been snatched away. So sad, floating away now~”
—”I’m taking Qīngqīng home. My wife, my wife, my wife!!!”
With the groundwork laid by Steward Song’s incident, the keyboard warriors who had been making baseless accusations were no longer as arrogant. The ones with a little conscience had posted apology statements. Most of them remained silent as if nothing had happened. Some even saw the tide turn against them and switched sides. A small minority was still picking apart every detail of the two lovey-dovey photos.
—”The Ji and Cen families are a good match. If they get along, it’s a win-win situation.”
—”A good match? I heard the Cen family’s daughter was married into the Ji family as a ‘luck-bringing’ wife.”
—”The Cen family is truly something. For a paltry sum of money, they personally sent their own daughter into a tiger’s den. The Ji family is no pushover.”
—”I wonder if the Cen family’s daughter can hold her head up in the Ji family? These photos must be for show, right?”
—”Although… an unequal love. I don’t have high hopes.”
Jiwanching was only responsible for showing off, while Cen Xia held the phone and looked at the comments, her teeth showing from her wide grin. She said, “This is more than just a bad match. The person the Ji family’s eldest daughter has fallen for isn’t the Cen family’s daughter at all. She’s just a street beggar, hahaha!”
Jiwanching looked up with a “What nonsense are you talking about?” expression.
Cen Xia gestured. “Sister, look at the comments!”
Jiwanching scrolled down from the screaming section, her mood remaining excellent all the way down. But when she saw the negative comments at the bottom, her smile instantly froze.
Cen Xia leaned in and kissed her furrowed brow. She looked into her eyes and said, “I don’t care, Jiwanching. From the first night we met, the night you told me to get out of your room, I was fantasizing about how happy I would be if I could have a love story where a domineering CEO falls in love with me. I don’t care what other people say. I only love you, Jiwanching. Every day I’m with you, I wish I could be taken care of. You have to get better soon and provide for me!”
Jiwanching leaned in and hugged her tightly, tears streaming down her face.
It wasn’t just them who were emotionally affected. Jiang He, on the other side, had been staring at the two photos on Weibo for half an hour, lost in thought.
When Assistant Si woke up, she saw General Manager Jiang looking dazed, holding her phone.
She coughed. Jiang He’s thoughts were pulled back. She turned her head to look at her. “I think you were hit too hard. You’ve been sleeping for so long!”
Si Jing stretched. “You have to get your beauty sleep, General Manager Jiang!”
Jiang He threw her the phone. “I’m leaving this to you. It’s a good opportunity to improve your skills!”
Si Jing caught the phone. “What?”
The screen showed the comments on Weibo. She scrolled up and saw Jiwanching’s post about their love.
“Wow, this Jiwanching. When did she get so high-profile? Is she afraid people won’t know they’re dating? And I have to say, they look good together!”
Assistant Si never filtered her words. In front of Jiang He, she started fangirling over the couple. “Jiwanching is so beautiful. She looks even better when she smiles than she does when she’s cold and detached!”
She crawled over, holding the photo on her phone for Jiang He to see. “General Manager Jiang, look at their eyes. It’s like a glance that’s worth a million…”
She stopped halfway through, sensing the change in atmosphere. She looked up and timidly put her phone away.
Jiang He controlled her emotions and spoke to her in her usual sarcastic tone. “You have three seconds to rephrase that.”
Si Jing racked her brain. She looked at the photo again and blurted out, “Holy shit, Jiwanching looks like such a bottom, General Manager Jiang!”
Jiang He threw a pillow at her.
Si Jing caught it and, with a good attitude, put it back on Jiang He’s bed. She said with a cheeky smile, “If you want a perfect match, it has to be you, General Manager Jiang. You’re obviously the top, a definite top!”
Jiang He glared at her. “The comments section is all yours!”
“What comments section?” Si Jing was lost in her own analysis of who was the top and who was the bottom. After a second, she suddenly realized. “You’re not… Jiang He, you’re insane!”
Jiang He buried her head in the blanket and didn’t offer any more explanation. She just said, “I’m tired. I’m going to sleep. I’ll check your work when I wake up.”
She covered her mouth with her hands, and tears uncontrollably overflowed from her eyes.
She couldn’t help it. This was about Cen Xia. How could she not get involved?
Even if the person who caused the gossip wasn’t her, she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. She had to protect her. That was their promise from childhood. Even if she really had fallen in love with Jiwanching.
But why? Why, after ten years, had she not changed her mind, but as soon as she returned, she was married to someone else, and they were like strangers…
Jiang He went to sleep with a heart-wrenching pain. In her dream, she saw Cen Xia. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she was smiling at her and calling her name. Jiang He’s heart ached so much. She wanted to reach out and wipe the tears from her eyes, but no matter what, she couldn’t reach her.
Cen Xia said, “Jiang Jiang, I miss you so much, but I have to go back. This place doesn’t belong to me. I can’t stay for long!”
Before Jiang He could react, the distance between them began to grow. Looking at Cen Xia who was constantly moving away, she cried out, “Xiaxia, don’t go. If you go, I’ll be all alone. Take me with you, Xiaxia, take me with you!”
The Cen Xia in the dream shook her head, tears streaming down her face. She reached out her arm to grab Jiang He’s arm. “Jiang Jiang, don’t cry. Be happy. When I’m not by your side, remember to take good care of yourself. Otherwise, my heart will break.”
Jiang He reached out, but they couldn’t reach each other. She sobbed and said, “No, Xiaxia, I don’t want to. I don’t want you to leave me. Come back. Stay by my side. I can’t take good care of myself. You have to be by my side to supervise me. You come and supervise me, Xiaxia…”
Cen Xia’s shadow became fainter and fainter, and she kept moving backward.
Jiang He chased after her, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t catch up.
Finally, Cen Xia completely faded from her sight, leaving only an ethereal voice: “When you find a suitable person, don’t wait for me anymore. I can’t come back, Jiang Jiang. I can’t come back…”
Jiang He collapsed onto the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. She kept repeating her name.
Si Jing was terrified. She leaned over the bed and shook her forcefully. “Jiang He, wake up… Jiang He, wake up quickly! Your wife has been taken by bad people, wake up quickly, Jiang He!”
With Si Jing’s persistent calling, Jiang He suddenly opened her eyes. She saw her familiar face, and for a second, she was stunned. She said in a hoarse voice, “Si Jing, I dreamed of Xiaxia. She doesn’t want me anymore…”
After saying this, a stream of tears poured from the corners of her eyes.
Si Jing had never seen her so emotionally out of control. She hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand on Jiang He’s shoulder, squeezing it lightly to comfort her. “How could that be? She likes you so much. You two were in a long-distance relationship for ten years, and she didn’t abandon you. Don’t overthink it, General Manager Jiang. There must be some misunderstanding. I’ll do everything I can to help you find out. You shouldn’t give up either!”
With her friend’s comfort, Jiang He took a deep breath. She did her best to control her emotions and said, “Thank you, Si Jing. It’s been more than ten years. My relationship with Cen Xia, and my friendship with you… more than ten years. Thank you for still being here with me right now.”
Si Jing gave her a hard push, using her usual joking tone. “What more than ten years? You’re talking so grandly, General Manager Jiang. I won my Maybach back fair and square!”
Jiang He’s lips twitched, and she managed a weak smile. “That’s because you’re both terrible and a sore loser. What does losing a bet have to do with me? Besides, didn’t I give you a chance to win it back? Go and get to work!”
Jiwanching had been out for a long time today, and she lay down as soon as she got back.
Cen Xia massaged the muscles in her legs. Her slender fingers moved over Jiwanching’s cool skin, leaving a gentle warmth behind.
Jiwanching’s body shivered slightly.
Cen Xia added a little more pressure to her fingertips, gently kneading. She asked with a smile, “Sister, do you feel it?”
Jiwanching felt all of her attention on her leg. Her focus traveled up from Cen Xia’s fingertips. She couldn’t speak. She bit her lip and endured it, her face flushed, and her beautiful phoenix eyes sparkling.
Cen Xia looked at her flustered state and curved her lips into a smile. “What about this? Does this feel a little better?”
Jiwanching’s body trembled, and even the tips of her ears turned red.
Cen Xia said, “You’ve been sitting for a long time, Sister. We should massage your back too.”
She turned her over. Her hands moved gently on Jiwanching’s back.
Jiwanching endured this strange sensation. Her body was soft and limp, unable to muster any strength. In no time, she was sweating.
Cen Xia’s fingers gently massaged along her shoulder blades. The pressure was almost non-existent. She moved her hands and talked to her at the same time. “Sister, does this feel comfortable? Do you want me to be a little rougher?”
Jiwanching couldn’t take it anymore. Her hands clutched the bedsheet tightly, and she couldn’t control a low moan escaping from her throat.
After massaging for a while, Cen Xia lowered her head and whispered near her ear, “Sister, do you like it?”
She couldn’t answer her question. She just felt her head spinning, as if she had been drinking.
Cen Xia slightly parted her lips and gently bit the tip of her ear.
After a little wetness, Jiwanching felt as if one side of her face had gone numb.
Cen Xia tilted her head to look at her affectionate eyes and gave a sly smile. “Sister, do you want more?”
Jiwanching’s phoenix eyes narrowed. She was like a little cat that had been petted to its heart’s content, lying there limply.
Cen Xia’s soul was completely captivated by her. She wanted to continue teasing her.
Just then, a voice came from outside the door.
—”Madam, the second young madam would like to have a word with you. Is it a good time for her to come in now?”
