Chapter 548 A Beautiful Woman

Chen Chen said, Miss Zhuang, Young Master Cheng is quite pitiful. You

Zhuang Ning turned around and looked at Chen Chen with a half-smile on her face as she said, Hes pitiful? Are you not pitiful? In fact, which of us isnt pitiful? As adults, we have to take responsibility for our actions. Theres no need to talk about whos pitiful or not. Leave him with me; you can go and do your work. The shooting for my drama was completed yesterday so I have a few days to rest. If hes willing, he can stay here. If he doesnt want to leave, I wont chase him away. Dont worry.

Chen Chen was pleasantly surprised by Zhuang Nings reply. He hurriedly bowed to her and said, Thank you, Miss Zhuang!

Zhuang Ning smiled and waved her hand before returning to the living room with a gla.s.s of honeyed water.

Chen Chen left, relieved and filled with grat.i.tude.

Zhuang Ning sat across from Ye Cheng and patted his leg as she said, Drink the honeyed water.

When the sound of Chen Chen closing the door rang in the air, Ye Cheng removed his hand from his face, rubbing it before he sat up straight. He reached out for the gla.s.s, but he avoided her gaze as he forced a smile on his face and said hoa.r.s.ely, Thank you.

Zhuang Ning pretended not to hear him.

Ye Cheng drank the honeyed water. The burning sensation in his stomach eased immediately. Seeing that he was done drinking, Zhuang Ning rose to her feet with the empty gla.s.s in her hand before she said, Go take a bath and have a good sleep. If theres anything, well talk after you wake up.

Just as she turned around to return to the kitchen, Ye Cheng reached out to pull her back. Zhuang Ning, sit with me for a while. Ye Cheng raised his head to look at her. His eyes were bloodshot and contained a hint of pleading when he looked at her.

Zhuang Ning lowered her head slightly to look at him. As though her heart had finally softened, she pushed his hand away gently and said, Go to sleep. Ill accompany you when you wake up.

After saying that, she went to the kitchen.

The sound of her was.h.i.+ng the gla.s.s rang in the small apartment.

Ye Cheng held his face in his hand; a satisfied smile could be seen on his face.

Zhuang Nings apartment was very small. Although she was somewhat famous now, she was still not very popular. After all, she still had a few unaired dramas in the line.

Although the two-bedroom apartment was small, it was cozy. It made Ye Cheng feel extremely at ease. He was serious about pursuing her, and he had never been so attentive to any woman before. Zhuang Ning was very cold and aloof. In the beginning, she did not even spare a glance at him. She seemed to particularly dislike rich second-generation heirs like him. In the beginning, she was so cold toward him that even Chen Chen could not stand it. However, for some reason, he liked her even more. She was like a breath of fresh air to him. He could sense her diligence, struggle, and progress, and he felt that she was the same kind of person he was. He was deeply attracted to her.

Ye Cheng listened to Zhuang Ning and stood up shakily. He took a bath before entering the guest room. As soon as he lay on the bed, he fell asleep peacefully. Zhuang Nings apartment gave him a sense of security.

At this time, Zhuang Ning stood at the door and looked at the sleeping man on the bed for a while before gently closing the door with an icy smile on her face.

She thought it was really ironic that the man who did nothesitate to take her life had such a weak and cowardly side to him. The retribution was still too light in her opinion. How could the price for the crime he had committed be so light?

She sneered. He did not even care about human lives, but he was depressed because of his familial relations.h.i.+ps.

Zhuang Ning turned to look into the mirror and studied the beautiful but strange face in the mirror. Her gaze was cold, and her expression was cynical.

She was Zhuang Ning physically, but her soul was Yang Li, a woman who had been driven into a corner. The person who had driven her into a corner was now with her. Life was really unpredictable.
